How The Sparks Begin

Chapter 6

I waited for the days to pass. I can't wait for Monday. I can finally walk down the hall with my head held high.

*****

Finally..its Monday.

"Good Morning!" I kissed my dad on the cheek. "Morning Geraldine!"He replied holding on to a cup of coffee.

I drank a glass of milk and headed to the door. "See ya!" I waved. He gave me a smile. "Enjoy!  "

I walked to school, with every step my haert beat faster. I just felt great..

***flashback***

"it's call 'Aim for that'.So you have to throw anything you can at the target.  And what...or who is the target? Well.."Tracy paused." That would be  Gera! That Girl with short hair!"

***End of flashback***

I stopped in my tracks. There was still what happened last friday. Maybe everyone would continue to hate me. Especially Tracy.

Alright.  Geraldine be strong. You have two new friends. At least you have them. Yes. That was true. I should be grateful.

As I walk towards the school, People looked at me and started whispering.

"Hey Geraldine! " A familiar voice called out. It was Elizabeth!  I hugged her. Even though it's only less than like two days since we last saw each other.

Erika gave me a hug too. "Hey Erika." I smiled. She smiled back. She was holding on to Emmanuel's hand. She looked happy too. Everything must have been alright then.

"Hey."I greeted Emmanuel. He looked at me. Face still as cold. "Hey." He said still not changing his expression.

Joseph wasn't there. Maybe he went somewhere else.

"Hi guys. What's up?" A high-pitched voice greeted. It was Tracy. Her hair all tied up into a bun.

"What do you want? Tracy?" Erika asked.

"Well I would like to be friends with Geraldine too."She said . Obviously it was sarcasm.

"Well. She has us."Elizabeth argued.

"Whatever."Tracy shrugged.

She looked at me and said."Watch out Gera." I gave her a glare.

She rolled her eyes. She noticed Emmanuel. "Hey there, Emmanuel. You're looking good." She was obviously flirting with him.

Erika's face turned nasty. "Excuse me.He is mine."

"Whatever."She rolled her eyes. She turned to him."Call me."She winked and walked away.

I was getting really tired of her. Seriously. The bell rang. Time to go.

It happens I'm not in the same class as Erika and the rest so we parted ways.

I doodled on my paper. Sigh. 

"Alright Class.Someone has to stay back to clean up the classroom." Mrs McLaren announced.

Everyone looked at me. Mrs Mclauren looked at me."Stewart. It seems you were voluteered by your peers."

I covered my face with my hands. Gosh..

School ended and everyone rushed out.

alright. Let's do this.

I started sweeping. And clearing the books. Then lastly I took out the trash. Done. I'm free now. I put my hands together.

I walked down the hall. Humming a song.Hold on. A familiar figure playing the violin.As of expected of Emmanuel.

I walked towards him. "Hey!" He stopped playing the violin. He looked at me coldly. He was this rude? Forget about the looks.

"ahem. I was expecting a reply."

He still ignored me. I was getting frustrated at this guy. "Dude. You really do have a problem communucating isn't it?"

"You don't the right to talk to me."He finally replied.  I was taken aback. He was right . I don't have the right to.

Emmanuel walked away from me.

I look at his departing figure.

Geraldine. Geraldine... what were you thinking?
