Look Up At The Sky

Chapter 14

School. This school. I'm back for yet another day. Same classes, same people, same school. Just the same.. Everything's the same and yet so different. I don't know if that makes any sense but yeah, that's how it is. My life. Ugh..

I walk up to my locker to collect my books for my next class. It's geography with Mrs. Dase. She's a short,very skinny woman around her mid twenties with a voice that could crack through glass. I'm not saying that to be mean, not at all, but her voice is just... extremely high and.. thin? It hurts to listen to, that might be why that subject isn't my best.

The only good thing about this class is that Charlie is in it so it's not be all that bad.

I walked into the classroom and saw Charlie sitting at our usual seats in the middle to the left next to the windows. Not too hot and not too cold. It was his idea okey I'm not all that picky but I'll admit, those are perfect seats.

“Hey Charlie.” I happily said whilst sitting down next to him.

He just looked at me as if he didn't recognise me, or knew me at all..

“Hello? Charlie? It's me.. One of your best friends..?” I said waving a hand in front of him.

He looked at me for a little bit and then a light seemed to light up in his eyes.

“Oh, right. Sorry about that.. I don't know what it is with me today.” He said shaking his head. “But hello there.” He then added and smiled.

“Hey.. So how excited are you for geography with mrs. Dase?” I asked with a small laugh.

“Not one bit! She's a bitch and I'm pretty sure she hates me that little crow.” He said.

I just looked at him.. That wasn't like him at all to say. He's usually a cute little puppy who treats everyone with a kind attitude. I don't know how he does it though.

“I don't think she hates you at all. She did give you an A on our last test Charlie.” I told him, looking a little lost at him

“Oh yeah.. I forgot about that. What I mean is that..” He started but mrs. Dase had interrupted him.

“Mr. Blakely.. Do you have something to say to the whole class?” Mrs. Dase asked with her squealing, annoying voice looking at Charlie.

“Huh.. No ma'm I don't.” He said a little rough.

“Hmm.. Well then you can be quite so I can start my class if you please.” She said still looking at him.

“Yeah I could but I think everyone rather listen to me than you're annoying ass squealing voice.” Charlie answered her and smirked when he heard some giggles from the rest of the class.

“He didn't mean that mrs. Dase.. He's just.. He didn't mean it and he's sorry. Aren't you Charlie?” I looked at him telling him to apologise.

“Yes, I'm sorry. That was out of line.” He said, but not convincing at all.

I guess mrs. Dase chose to ignore it because she started to talk about Africa and how it's build or something like that.

I looked at Charlie to ask him what that was all about but he just shook his shoulders.

“So has Sam done anything yet?” He whispered, taking me aback a little.

“Erm.. not yet. He's probably just likes seeing me look behind my shoulder all the time.” I whispered back..

“Well when he does, I'm right here with you.” He said with a smile which I returned.

When the class was over and we took our things he hurried out of that classroom faster than usually.

“Hey, Charlie!” I yelled and ran after him.

He kept walking. Either ignoring me or maybe he just didn't hear me. I grabbed his arm to make him stop.

“What's up with you?” I asked confused.

“What do you mean?” He just simply asked.

“How you acted in there.” I pointed to the classroom. “You looked at me as if you didn't recognised me when I came in, talking back to mrs. Dase.. You were very rude in there. And now just walking off ignoring me.” I said.

“Yeah well she deserved it and I did ask you about Sam.” He said. “I mean.. It's not like I lied or anything.” He then added seeing my expression.

“Just because it's true doesn't mean that you have to say it. Her voice is annoying as hell but that doesn't mean that you should say it. Especially like that.” I told him, ignoring the Sam part.

“Yeah yeah, whatever mom.” He said and walked off.

I stood there confused over what just happened. Both in class and just now in the hallway. What's up with him..

The bell ringed which was a sign that my spanish lesson is starting so I hurried to my locker to get my books and then go to class.

…

“Hold up!” I heard someone say gabbing my arm. I turned around and there was Charlie.

I looked at him, waiting for him to continue, holding my car keys in my hand.

“What do you want?” I asked when he didn't say anything.

“You're not gonna say – Hi – or anything?” he asked.

“Well you didn't.” I simply answered, a little harder than I meant to.

“Okey..”

“What do you want?” I repeated.

He was quiet for a minute, thinking about what to say I guess.

“If you don't have anything to say then I'm going. I'll be late for work.” I said turning around unlocking the car and trowing in my bag in the passenger seat.

“I just wanted to apologise for how I've acted today. It wasn't fair to you or her. Her meaning mrs..”

“I know who you meant.” I interrupted him, giving him a sign to keep going.

“It's just.. Some things have been going on and I don't know.. I'm sorry.”

“Okey.. So what's going on?” I asked, now a little worried but he shook his head, meaning he didn't want to talk about it.

“I don't know what's going on with me today..” He said looking a little sad.

“Neither do I. You're not yourself that's for sure.” I told him.

“I'll be better tomorrow I promise. Friends again?” He asked with a smile.

“Yeah, sure. And you shouldn't make promises you can't keep.”

He went in for a hug. A tight one. He smiled and then walked away to his car.
