Miracles Do Happen

In A Mess

I'm home safe. Except there is one problem. My cheeks burn. Argh. What is happening?  I think to myself. I'm acting like a child.

"Honey you home?" mom calls from the kitchen.

"Yes I'm back meet you in a minute" I run upstairs throw my bag on the ground and shut my room door.

I quickly change into something comfortable. Brush my hair but I stand there for a while the brush in my hair. Standing blankly in front of the mirror. I think back to the time in the car. His hand close up to my thigh and what did he mean by the driver doesn't wants you to leave?. Argh.  Aggressive I kick my foot on the wall forgetting it's a damn wall and I'm not wearing any slippers I collapse on the ground holding my toes that are red. I make a quick move and tie my hair up and comes down.

"What's Cookin' Mama bear?"

"Your favourite lasagna" mom replies back

"Yum Yum. Finally something better to eat after a hell of a school day"

"Bad day?" mom asks

"Mmm. Yeahhh" I reply

"The traffic must be bad today. Aww honey I'm sorry. I would have came to pick you up but I caught into making this that I lost track of time"

"Oh no biggie. It was alright. I actually got a ride....." I stop myself from saying any further.

"That's Great. You should have told your friend to stay up for lunch. I'm sure she would love it"

"Yeahhh about that..."

"So is your friend a she or he? and when I'm meeting them." Mom goes on. looking at me expectingly.

"Got a lot of homework to do. Loved the meal. Gotta run" I say my thank you and kiss mom cheek and quickly make a dash for my room.

I have ignored all the calls. I got from Linda yesterday. I didn't had the courage to tell her what happened. What if she gets pissed. Well we will eventually find out. This is going to be a Hella day.

I walk on the pavement to my school gate. lacking courage and shame for the first time. I keep my head down but it's not late before I hear Linda voice.

"Heyyy" linda excitedly greets.

"Hi" I continue looking down. Not looking in her eyes.

"What's up with you. I thought today is going to be an exciting day. You're not excited?"

"Super excited actually."

"Yeah Right. Really? What is going on? You didn't respond any of my call. Where were you?" 

"hmm. I was not feeling okay" I continue walking with her with my face down.

"You on those days?" Linda asks worried

"Yea..." I lie smoothly

"I understand. You are always so energetic and talkative but these days make everyone feel weird and helpless." 

"Yup" I reply back

"You'll be fine. I'm here for you" she squeezes my hand. Smiling. I look at her and return the smile feeling so bad for lying and hiding things from her.

Linda's POV

We both meet Miss Melissa in the hallway to our class.

"Linda and Hazel. Can I have a word?"

We both shocked look at each other and walk up to her.

"I have made the arrangements. You can be in my geography class and I'm guessing hazel can take the history class then. Is it alright for you Ms. Watson?"

"Greattt" I reply excitedly but get no unison response from hazel. I look at her. Miss Melissa gives her the hard stare.

"Yes it is." After a while hazel speaks finally zooming out of her thoughts.

"Okay Good. You can follow me Ms. Matthew. Geography will be the first period today. Hope you excited?"

"Delighted." I reply back a less excited than before. Worried for hazel acting weird. I shake it out of my head. Say her good byes and leave after Miss Melissa.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Geography class is already filled when we enter. Boys joking around and passing comments. Girls in their own mini circles gossiping. This is going to be hard setting in. I think to myself.

Everyone takes their seat as Miss Melissa reaches the rostrum. She ushers me to sit on the only empty seat left with a fizzy hair girl with braces. I settle my things next to her and pay attention to the Teacher speaking. Ignoring her open mouth stare.

"So as you know the science fair is up. We have very less time and less serious students to make up to the fair. I have decided to pair you guys so you can work up your abilities and actually learn from your partner. I'll be calling the names. Pair up and sit with your partners"

Thank God I think to myself.

I'm suddenly curious and more interested to be paired than ever before because my patience is giving up and I can no longer sit with this girl even if it involves not communicating with her at all which I do every time. The girl with frizzy hair continues to stare at me now with closed mouth but piercing her eyes in me. I Ignore her once again and focus on my name that is about to be called.

"Selena and Carrie"

"Josh and Tania"

"Beck and Max"

"Linda and...."  Finally I think to myself.

"Tony" wait what? I think to myself. Nooo. No Not him. Anyone but not him. My happy day comes to an end when I see tony looking in my direction and winks.

I'm in a mess.
