"How have you been, Kayla?" he asked with a quirky smile.
*Kayla*
Once again I was caught off guard, I felt my face flush. "I'm good Jack. How have you been?"
The smile he was wearing turned into a frown and he looked forward again. "Well you know, just fuckin peachy since we fell into poverty," he snaps under his breath.
But I heard him, and I felt terrible. Terrible for leaving him behind; I felt terrible for any wrong I've ever done him.
The office was right in front of us now. "I'm sorry," I say softly. He opens the door for me and whispers in my ear as I pass him. "Save your lies for some one who actually believes them."
He walked to the front desk and Miss. Lingo, the assistant, signed him out. He then brushed by me and I could spot tears in his eyes and falling down his cheeks.
The rest of the day carried on as usual: Fakes following me around the hallways murmuring rumors and me sitting there slowly tuning out of the current conversations being carried on around me.
At 3:25 the bell rang and I felt a small weight lift off of my shoulders. Since it's Friday, I don't have to pretend tomorrow.
I gladly rush out of the school and hop into my blue, automatic Jeep. I crank it up and drive down the road listening to music.
I make it home, and the smile I was wearing faltered and disappears completely. I opened the door to my house and my parents are instantly screaming at each other.
I close my eyes for a split second and theres my mom. "Where the hell have you been!?!?!" she screams in my face.
I flinch, "I just got home from school." She laughed evilly and rolled her eyes. "Bullshit, slut. You were out with all of your fuck buddies."
I feel tears well up in my eyes and I push past her to my room. I collapse onto the ground beside my bed and I wipe my tears.
I pick up my phone and see I have a text from my "friend" Alyssa.
(A- Alyssa M-Me)
A- Hey girl, lets go out.
M-Yeah, that'd be great(:
A- See yah in 10 mins. Dress classy.
M- Never Trashy xx
I stand up and wipe the mascara streaks that had flowed down my face. I pick out a black dress that goes a little below my mid thigh and some black Toms. I mean forget wearing heels all night!
I get ready and curl my hair. I grab my purse and I climb out of the window.
Alyssa is waiting there behind the big oak tree in my front yard. "Lets walk there," she said.
I nodded and we began to walk. We were almost to the party when we walked past a alley.
"Well yea," Alyssa blabbed on about money and clothes. "Hold on, do you hear that?" I asked cutting her off.
She gave me a look and then replied rudely. "No, I don't, now as I was saying-"
"No shut up Alyssa!" I snapped and I ran into the alley. It becomes clearer as the sound of sobbing.
I see a body huddled up in a ball by a dumpster. As I come nearer, I see blood and cuts on him.
But the thing that strikes me the most is who that person was. Jack.
