Too Young

Chapter 11:Nice To See You Again

I went with the cops to the nearby station and they questioned me about what happened today "Well first my father came in and then we had an argument which quickly escalated to a fight which left him dead" I said "How did your father die?" the detective said "I shot him using the gun he took from one of the dead cops who responded to my situation" I said "So this was in act of self-defense?" he said "Yes.He basically tried to strangle me and shoot me once he got the gun but I disarmed him" I said "Why would he do that?" he said "Well he blamed me for my mother's death as I was driving that time and a truck came right at us at a really high speed and we would've all died if I didn't turn" I said "Thank you.We'll give you a taxi to get back to your school and have a nice day" he said getting up and opening the door for me and I left the station riding a taxi to my school.I arrived as the teacher was giving our results from our past quiz when I was writing the piece for the school magazine "Afternoon" I said going to my seat and I took my paper and saw my score "What's yours Xandr-" I cut myself off when I saw her wiping tears from her eyes "Here" I said giving her tissue "I'm fine Lee" she said smiling but I knew it was fake "Improve your fake smile" I said and she laughed a little "I'm fine I told you" she said "Xandra score..." I said and she handed me her paper "10 out of 30 the hell..." I placed the paper down and she smiled once again but this time trying her hardest to hide the fact that she was crying "Amazing right?" she said "Xandra it's fine it's just the first quiz there's many more" I said trying to comfort her "What if there isn't?What if we don't get another quiz?What if this is my last chance to actually get a good grade?" she said "You'll get another chance trust me" I said "Everything was so happy yesterday except the fact that you got hurt and now it feels like that happiness had turned to fucking sadness to me" she said "It's just how it works.Being happy is something that goes hand in hand with sadness.In a way you being sad can mean you'll be happy later as you're able to express your feelings" I said "That doesn't make sense but I think I get it" she said "Get well Xandra" I said handing her once again the tissue and she took it and wiped the tears off her face "Thank you Lee" she said.After a while she stopped crying and she was happy at least but I can feel that she still hates herself for getting that score as she sometimes start just drifting off to another universe "Hey" she said starting a conversation between as two while we were cleaning the classroom "Why did the cops call you?" she said "I don't wanna tell you" I said "Tell me" she said "No" I said "Fine!" she said and she took a deep breath and I knew what she was gonna do (Read the next thing Xandra is gonna say using a high pitch voice even if your a dude) "Can you please please please please please please tell me?" she said "Jesus fine!" I said "They questioned me about my father and I's fight" I said "Fight?" she said "Well he tried to kill me but I...I...killed him" I said and she widen her eyes in shock "Are you ok?" she said "Im fine" I said "Anyways I need to go" I said as she finished sweeping the floor "Guess I'll go to" she said getting her bags "God I'm tired" she said stretching her arms while going down the stairs "Get some rest in your bus then" I said "Yup" she said "Anyways see ya tomorrow!" she said "See ya" I said before she ran to her bus.I brought out my phone and played music while I walked to my bus "Sorry" I said as I bumped into someone "Lee?" she said "Jen!" I said "My God you haven't changed at all" she said "Screw you" I said smiling "What are you doing here?" I said "Well I finished my studies for being a teacher and I wanna apply here" she said "Congrats!" I said "Thank you" she said "Anyways I gotta go bye!" she said as she entered the school "Wow Jen is back" Zachery said "Yup" I said "I gotta go Zachery bye" I said as I continued to my bus's direction.I went in and sat at my usual seat and recalled back the memories I had with Jen.Jen was a few years older than me and we had a connection she never had with other friends.We would just be silent and look at each other and knew what we should do next and we never failed to do that thing.

Before Jen Left
"Lee!" Jen said calling me "Coming!" I said going downstairs to her "Look!" she said showing me her acceptance letter "No way!" I said "Yes!" she said and we hugged each other "Your now gonna be a teacher" I said "Yeah.But I'll be gone though for a while as the school I enrolled in is in Korea" she said "That's fine" I said "So today I want us to do what we wanted to do for the past few years but couldn't as we weren't tall enough" she said "We're doing it?" I said "Yup" she said and she took my hand and pulled me into a taxi into a amusement park Jen and I dreamed to go into and do all the rides "First one?" she said asking me "You already know" I said and both of us smiled as we went into the pirtae ship ride or what we like to call it "The Valkyrie!" I said going to the ride with Jen.We bounced from ride to ride until we fully completed the amusement park's rides "What a fun day" she said handing me cotton candy "Yeah.When are you leaving?" I said "Tomorrow" she said "Well...let's make this day count" I said "Watch the show?" she said "Watch the show" I said and we went to the tent in the park where carnival like acts are performed.The day ended with both of us tired and I fell asleep on the ride back to my house.

Present Day
Jen and I were like brothers and sisters we had a connection that never broke even when she was gone for her studies and now I guess she needs to have a place to stay "If she was her then it would just be like the old days" I said placing down my bag and sitting on the couch and watched tv "Just like the old days".
