Spiner

Chapter 22- Tuesday

Tuesday

School wasn't too special today. Just norms. I've been thinking about Sarah too much, we are still avoiding each other, sometimes I forget we even go to the same school.

Some stress was finally relieved off my shoulders from the homework I finished. Now all I had to do was make up my monologues and maybe a few other things here or there, then my grades should be looking better again. I was walking to lunch alone. I don't know why, but I was sad today. My dad was coming home soon, I finished my homework, I had after school detention with Mr.Spiner, that secretly I really was looking forward too... and yet- I'm still sad.

I walked through the lunch line grabbing a small sub sand-which and some apple slices. I wasn't that hungry today.

I sighed as my head continued to run at 50 miles an hour.

I'm such a loner.

It had never been like this at my other schools. Why is it like this here, why do I feel so lonely? I feel like part of it is just that I went silent after what Jeremiah did to me. I hate to admit it to myself but it still drives me crazy. Sometimes its all I can't ever think about. Him hitting me, ripping my shorts. Then my brain proceeds to what could have happened. But I try not to think about it. Because what I want more than anything is to forget.

I find a high table with two seats and sit down. I gaze out the window at the world. You can't see any nearby buildings from this perspective, just a street and some slowly dying grass with buildings in the distance.

I pull put my phone and do random pointless things as I slowly eat my apples slices until I see a pair of legs next to me out of the corner of my eye. Tan, long, thin legs. I look over at them and follow them up to their face. It was a tan blonde girl from my 1st hour. Her name was Alice. And behind her was Laura and Sam. Laura has long brown hair with dark green eyes. She was in my science class- I think. Laura I didn't really know since we had no classes together, but she was super shy anyway. Sam was more open and outgoing, much more confident, but I still hardly knew her because I had no classes with her.

"hi" Alice says sweetly.
"Hi.." I say hesitantly, confused why these pretty girls are stalking to me.

"Y/n, right?"
"Yeah" I said smiling, surprised she knew my name.

Then Alice sat down at the seat in front of me. On either side of her stood Laura and Sam.
"So, Whats up?" Alice asks me casually.
"I.. Uh, Not much. I have after school detention later today." I said laughing a little.
"Really, you?" she said sounding surprised.
"Yeah, Spiner's Class. I - I didn't come to Saturday school, So I have after school detention for the next couple of days."
Sam Chuckled a little. "What did you do that was so bad that Mr.Spiner gave you Saturday school in the first place, he is one of the most layed back teachers." Sam said baffled by my circumstances.
"Oh.. well it was mostly because he wanted my making up homework and all that in my classes since my grades were dropping really fast, plus I had some monologues to make up for his class. I didn't go because I just wanted to do my homework at home, plus I needed to practice my monologue at home too because I hadn't even looked at it yet."

"Oh.." Sam said.
"Aren't you like a straight A student, why were you letting your grades drop?" Alice asked me. Laura shifted from foot to foot not finding a place in the conversation yet.
I blushed slightly, "Well, I don't know about straight A's...but I do try my best to have that. They had been going down because-" My tone of voice changed a bit with out me noticing, "Well, a lot has just been happening lately that's all..." I said my voice trailing off, leaving and odd feeling in the Air.
