When I went to school on a Monday morning I couldn't stop thinking. I stared out the bus window wondering why I messed up and failed. Although I said I regret hurting others I don't regret being known. Everyone back home knew me, they either feared me or respected me and I miss that familiar feeling. I was so caught in my thoughts I didn't notice Alex take a seat next to me. I turned to face the person that seated and I gasped. I wasn't expecting him to be so close, to my face. He seemed to notice and backed away, "I'm sorry, am I to close?". I felt bad and instantly said, "No! It's just that I wasn't expecting to turn around and see you". I could hardly look him in the eye while talking so I went back to looking out the window. I panicked when I thought of him being so close so I turned off my brain. I look back at him and he sat there lost in thought, he looked almost sad. When he saw me looking he smiled at me and gave him a weak smile. "Are you ok?" he ask me. "Yeah, i'm fine. I just wanna go home. Learning today seems stressful", "Yeah, I'm tired too. I just wanna stay home." he says seeming to agree with me. I smile, "Why didn't you stay home?" I ask him curious now. He always skips classes so what's the point in coming. "I come for my friends, and it's almost the end of the year. I might as well enjoy every last day" he says. I almost forgot the school year was almost done. It's been 5 months since I moved which feels like 3 weeks. I have been so busy trying to figure out who is responsible for my "curse" that I completely forgot. But that's ok because I just figured how I can confront Beth without her being able to hide. I just gotta wait for the weekend.
