Patience and Love

Chapter 4: Weirdo

           

I shook my head and sighed as I walked to the lunch room. I felt so dumb. Of course she had a girlfriend. I mean. She was completely hot. I looked up and seen Anne in the corner table. She was sitting alone. I sat across from her, my hair in my face. She looked up.

Hey' She said, when I didn't reply just nodded at her frowned she started again in a softer voice. What's wrong?..' She said, I didn't reply again, just leaned back and looked around the lunch room. My eyes landed on Dianna. She was sitting a few tables away, her arm around some light haired girl. The girl was laughing and kissing Dianna's face. I felt a stab of jealousy and looked away again.

'Her names Nicole. She was in my last class' Anne said. I nodded at her and shrugged again. Alice came over for a little and then went to sit with her new friends. It was Anne and I, neither of us ate. The rest of the day went good. I had my last hour, Critical thinking, with Alice. But none with Dianna. I didn't see her at the end of the day. But I hurried out so I didn't bump into her.

On the way home Alice was ever vigilant in filling us in on everyone in her grade. Anne and I stayed quiet and listened. She informed us on her friends names, who she doesn't like so far, and the teachers that seemed cool.

When we got home I went up to my room and did my work.

I heard a knock on my door. I sat up and leaned over turning off my music. Dad walked in and sat on the edge of my bed. He looked around at the boxes and smiled.

You should get to unpacking, did you have any homework?' He asked, I nodded my head.

Yeah, but I did it already' I said, feeling a little better looking at him. He usually calmed me down. I smiled, he was in his black pants and blue tucked in button up shirt. He probably just got back from work. His black hair was just laying on his head, I leaned over and hugged him suddenly, I just felt like I needed to hug him. I loved my dad.

What's this for? Are you ok princess?' He asked, hugging me back. I smiled at his nickname for me. He spoiled me like I was a princess. I nodded, feeling better, almost completely forgetting my shitty first day.

Yeah, i'm ok. How was your day?' I asked pulling back. He smiled and started talking about it. He had a good day.

He was all excited because he worked close enough he could come home for lunch with mom. His face got brighter when he talked about her. I smiled more, I envied their love.

He stood after a few more minutes of us talking.

Your moms got dinner almost ready. So finish up whatever homework you might have and come on down' He walked out. I smiled and closed my books putting them all in my bag, walking downstairs. Alice was at the table filling mom in on her day and Anne was talking to dad. I sat and mom smiled.

Hey sweetheart, how was your day?' She asked, setting down the food and dad set out the plates. We all talked and joked around and when dinner was done we all cleaned up and headed up to bed. I walked into my room and turned on my radio.

I laid in bed and reached up setting my alarm. I pulled the blanket over my body and much to my dismay, i've dream of Dianna.

----------------------------------------------------

When I woke up the next morning I went through my routine. I brushed my teeth and did a quick swipe of makeup. I brushed my hair and made the effort to straighten it. Dad had left a note under my door, like he usually did with us since he left first with a weather report. He wrote it was cold and supposed to just get colder. I wore my black plaid hoodie with a pair of jeans. I slid on my tennis shoes and grabbed my bag walking out.

Anne stood there in her jeans and sweatshirt, we didn't wear coats. And we were hoping we could get out before mom seen us without a coat. Alice walked to us. She had on her brown boots, jeans. And her sweatshirt. I smiled softly and we walked out, getting into the truck. I had to face Dianna today, maybe I could just ignore her the rest of the year.. That seemed like a good plan.

Sorry for the short update, Tomorrow, I'll write and post more :) Let me know what you think.
