I gathered up my books and bag and exited the classroom with the other students. I headed over to my locker and angrily shoved my books inside. A knock on the locker door made me jump. "What the hell Drew!" I shouted, punching him on his arm. "Ouch. Sam, you gotta loosen up girl," he said, rubbing the sore spot. "Well I'm sorry. But you scared me!" I defended. "Apology accepted. But why are you so jumpy these days?" He said, leaning against the locker next to mine. "I don't know Drew..I just have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that someting bad is....gonna happen," I mumbled, shutting the door. "Look, Sam. That's not all of it. Ever since Carter died last month you've been all hectic and scared. I don't know why but you gotta loosen up," he said, throwing his rm around me and giving me a hug.
"I'm sorry Drew. I just can't help it. It's like any minute something bad is gonna happen," I muttered into his shirt. He put his finger under my chin and tilted my head upwards. "Nothing is gonna happen to you. I promise," he whispered and gently pressed his lips to mine. "Thanks Drew," I said, pulling away. He smiled down at me. "Come on. Let's go find those people you call your friends," he said. I stuck my tongue out at him. "You know you love us,' I chuckled and he agreed.
Before I get to deep into the story, let me explain something to you. Carter Jones, was not my friend in any way. He was always quiet and always by himself. But everytime I happened to pass near him, I would see him staring at me with this look in his eyes. And...he was bullied...alot. That was the cause for his death. Joe Miller, the school jock and his gang of friends cornered Carter after school one day. Carter ran for all he was worth but Joe being a jock, quickly caught up to him. They beat him mercilessly, leaving him with a broken leg, mangled arms and internal bleeding. Nobody knew Carter was injured so he was forced to remain in the torturous pain. And eventually, he bled to death. Joe and his gang were taken to jail. After that incident, nobody talked about Carter or Joe anymore. But I still have this feeling in the pit of my stomach, that he is NOT dead....I feel as though he's still here. Not physically but spirtually. And that';s the reason for my jumpyness.
Drew pushed open the metal doors of the cafeteria and the scent of cafe food hit me square in the face. It smelt disgusting. I've always hated cafeteria food. I never knew what it was. It all just looked like brown mush to me. I spotted my friends, Amber, Lucy and Shawn sitting in the corner of the cafe. Drew told me to go sit while he got the food.
"Hey guys," I smiled as I took a seat next to Amber. "Hey Sammy," they replied. We talked about our friend "stuff" which was basically random stuff rolled up into one. Drew joined us and he and Shawn started talking about some car he wanted to buy. I rolled my eyes. Boys will be boys. "Hey Sam. Are you okay?" Lucy asked. "It's nothing. I'm fine," I lied. "You're lying Sam," Amber said giving me her "stare". I sighed. "She's been a lot more scared lately," Drew said interuppting us. Both Amber and Lucy sighed. "Sam." she started. "Look, I feel how I feel okay. There's no helping me," I told them. I stood up and adjusted my skirt. I honestly hate these stupid uniforms.
"Where are you going?" Drew asked. "Home. I'm not feeling to good," I replied and walked outside into the cool air. I wasn't lying though. I did feel sick. Like any minute I would just puke all over the place. I started walking to my house. THe bad part? I have to pass Carter's death place to get there. It wasn't much. But you could still see the blood stains on the ground. As I came closer I shut my eyes and sprinted past it.
My house came into view and ran inside and up to my room. My parents weren't at home and my sister was at school still. I stripped out of the school uniform and threw on an oversized t shirt and hopped into bed. I shut my eyes and fell asleep almost immediately. I hoped that that bad feeling would just go away and I could forget about Carter. But no. That's not what happened at all....
