The Geeky Girl

Now The Parents (Edited)

Kayla handed me tissues from her bag. She carries a box of it for times like this. I took it from her and wiped all my tears and as well as the dark smudges from my mascara.

"Shh, don't cry. You've got in," Karla tried to comfort me inside the girls' bathroom.

"How dare he make me choose? I thought he was better," I whined at Kayla. She patted my back and took more tissues from the box.

"Don't cry because of him. He is no better. It's good that you guys broke up. Now, you can focus in the school you have always dreamt of attending," Kayla said. I smiled at her then forced myself to stop crying. She was right. I shouldn't be crying because of Kevin. I should be happy. To come to think of it, I shouldn't be crying about our break up because we only dated for the school. The whole school suggests we should because they say we make a great couple. We've only been officially together for 4 months. Besides, I wasn't the type that should stop living just because of a boy. I was better than that.

The bell rang for our next period and Kayla and I hurried off to class. I didn't want to be late for class. I never received detention in my entire life and I don't intend to do so now. My class was at the other side of the building

I bumped into someone, hard chested. Fudge! I'm going to be late. "Sorry," I apologized without looking who it was.

"Whoa! Lilian, calm down," I heard a familiar voice. I turned around to see Landon.

"I don't want to be late!" I hollered, as we were ten feet apart and the hallway being loud and crowded.

"Okay, you, geek!" Landon grinned then walked off. I ran upstairs to the second floor.

I burst in and I was first in the room. Even the teacher wasn't here yet. They were right. I am a geek. I just can't help it. I love school.

I sat on my seat and pulled out my letter. I read it word for word.

Crap! I start next week Monday. That means I only have 5 days to pack up and go. How am I going to tell mom and dad? Hopefully, they'll make things easy and let me off. But, I should have known that it won't.

School was finally finished and Henry was already here to pick me up. Standing next to the car, he waves. Henry is my butler. Henry is like my best friend. We even have our secret handshake and nicknames for each other.

"Had a good day, Lilian?" Henry grinned at me as he offered his left hand. I took it and got inside the car.

I didn't answer and he closed the door. He opens the door to the other side and sat in. "Go ahead Jim," Henry told our driver.

Henry turned to my direction, waiting for an answer. "What's wrong?" He knew me too well.

"Kevin and I broke up," I frowned. I looked at him and he looked worried.

"Don't worry. At least you got something better," Henry paused. "You got what you wanted." He was also never a fan of Kevin. Put him in the list with Landon, Jack, and my dad.

"How did you know I got in?" I asked.

"I'm not surprised. You're a 4.0 average," Henry exclaimed. I smiled at him then turned my head to the window and looked outside.

"Am I free tonight?" I asked him.

"I'm afraid, not. You're walking for your mom today," Henry said. That sucks. "Have you told them?"
