Chapter Thirty-Three:

Bad Luck

_____________

You could say I was mad. Just a little.

How could you break up with someone and then afterwards tell them you love them? What was he thinking?

When morning came the next day, I was more than happy to get out of that house. I got up, got dressed before he was even up, and started walking to school. I decided against breakfast since that would make it easier for him to catch up to me and I needed to get to school before him.

The sky was clouded over when I walked out the door of the Bridges' residence. It was probably going to rain so I was happy I went with skinny jeans today. I had to be as quiet as I possibly could since I got up at 6:00 to get ready. I knew Callie and Ella were still asleep in her room and didn't want to disturb them or wake up the monster that slept on the couch last night. I brushed my hair and and pulled it up into a bun to make it quick. I didn't even brush my teeth. Nope, I stuffed my toothbrush and toothpaste in my bag and planned on brushing them at school.

Call me stubborn, it would match me perfectly.

I unlatched my arms from around my torso and grabbed my phone out of my pocket to call Emma. I had to rant to someone before it all came out to someone who didn't need to know about my problems.

"Hello?" Emma's sleepy voice answered. I almost forgot it was only 6:30. Oh well, she'd be getting up soon anyway.

"Hey, Em." I said through gritted teeth. I've never seen myself so mad before.

"Sophia? Are you okay?" Emma replied, her voice more alert. I clenched my fingers around my phone and walked faster.

"Yeah. There is." I grumbled.

"What?" She asked in an almost scared voice. This was very unusual of me.

"It's nothing important. Cameron. Yeah, it's about him." I didn't even want to say his name. That's how mad I was.

"Okay, I'm almost done getting ready so I'll meet you at school and we can talk before class." She shuffled her phone around and I could tell she was getting ready now.

"Okay" was all I could say before hanging up. My normal response would have been "No don't go to school early for me!" or "No It's okay". But I didn't care at the moment.

I reached the school just as it turned 6:45. I must have really been walking fast. Emma kept her word and was waiting by my locker when I got there. I stomped up to her and twisted my lock to unlock my locker.

"What's up?" She asked me, biting her lip nervously.

I didn't want her to worry. My best friend. So I took a deep, deep breath and let it out through my nose. My temper was controlled now.

I turned to her with a blank expression.

"He broke up with me." My whisper came out strangled from the force. If I didn't whisper, I would scream.

"What? Why?!" She exclaimed so loud that I was taken aback. She's never that loud. She must have noticed too because her face turned blood red and she covered her mouth. We were both discovering sides of ourselves we weren't used to.

"Evidently I'm moving. And he thinks it would be better for both of us. I don't get it. And then you know what he said right after that?" When I looked back at her and away from my locker, her face was ghost white, all blush gone.

"Oh my gosh." She said under her breath. "Sophia! I told him that! I just wanted to know and I didn't want to ask you because I just... I didn't want to make you uncomfortable. You know," she twisted her fingers together nervously, "I thought you'd want to tell me later." She sputtered.
