does love always end up the way you want it to?

Art class

My mother woke me up from my beautiful sleep into reality and remembering yesterday's events, reality is currently horrible. Now everyone thinks me and Zack are together, what if Brian knows about it? I can't let Brian think I like another guy! I really don't want to go to school today, and that's saying something because I love school!

I got out of my bed- my only hope of escaping the horrible reality into my beautiful dreams of unrealistic wonders. I went into the bathroom and took a long hot shower to help me relax and I dragged it on for quiet long because I didn't want to come out.

Eventually, I had to get out of the shower and slowly put on my PE kit because PE was my second lesson today. I then looked in the mirror and patted my clothes to straighten it up.

I blow dried my hair just to waste more time and I spent time tying my hair up. I first put it up into a high ponytail, then I decided to braid it, then I decided to put that up into a top knot bun just to waste even more time. My hair looked really nice, but I honestly didn't even care about how I looked at this moment.

I slowly walked out of my room and down the stairs into the kitchen. I decided to have my favourite chocolate cereal to brighten up my mood, it didn't help, but at least it made my tummy feel good.

Then, I heard a car horn and looked through the window to see who it was, it was my mother in her car, she was already ready to drop me to school. I picked up my school bag and went outside, locked the door, grabbed my shoes, then went into the car.

"Natasha, what took you so long? You are going to be so late!" my mother complained as I put on my shoes. I looked up at the clock and saw that school had already started 15 minutes ago. My mother continued to complain to me the whole way. The car ride seemed quite short, maybe it's because I'm dreading going to school today, even though I am usually excited to go to school.

I got out of the car after saying goodbye to my mother. She drove off angrily, I think I may have spent a little too long getting ready. I looked at my watch and saw that I was already 30 minutes late, form time finished and it's now Art class. I really don't want to go to art class, Brian and Zack are both going to be there, when I walk in I don't know what my class will say to me, I wondered if Brian would feel sad or just make fun of me like the rest of the class, except for Sarah, Ben and Sky though. No, Brian isn't that kind of guy, he isn't one of them, he wouldn't do such a mean thing to me. The only question is, will he be hurt?

I looked at my surroundings, I realised that I was too busy thinking about all this, that I was still standing exactly where my mother left me. I was still right outside the school gate, I realised that nobody else was there, the usual teachers that were on duty wasn't there, that's because drop off time is finished and they probably have to go and teach their first lesson. The school guards that I usually see near the gates weren't there where they usually are. There was nobody, no teachers, no students standing around, no guards, no parents having conversations with each other, nobody.

Suddenly I had this idea, I was dreading having to witness what everyone would say and think so much that I had this crazy idea, I wanted to skip school. I cannot believe what I am thinking, me, Natasha, the entire year's goodie goodie nerd is standing outside the school gate, 30 whole minutes late for school, thinking about skipping school. A lot of students skip school, I thought to myself, but you don't, Natasha, you are a good student, you would never do such a thing. It's like there was an anglel and a demon on my shoulder arguing over whether I should skip school or not. 

Everyone does it Natasha, you can just run away from what you have to face if you go in there and go relax and have a drink, you won't have to face anything Natasha, just relaxation and a day off, nobody will know, just tell the school you're sick and come back here before school finishes for your mom to collect you, it's a great plan, a great way out.

Don't do it Natasha, you're a good girl, I don't know what has got into you. You're thinking about skipping school, the school will eventually know because they will see you after school going home with your mother and know that you skipped, they will know, everyone will, think about the disgrace you bring to your family, think about what Sarah will think of you, think about what your other friends will say, Ben, Sky and Brian. You will have to face this sooner or later, better off catch it before it gets too out of hand.

I have a big decision to make, I don't want to face all of this, but I also can't let others know I skipped, this is hard. It feels like my heart is going to beat out of my chest because it is beating so fast now. I thought for a while, then made up my mind.

Yes, I can run away, but things will get too out of hand, me not being in school won't stop the gossip going around, and I don't want to disappoint my family and friends. I'm going to go walk through those gates and face whatever is coming.

I looked at my watch and found that i was already 40 minutes late. Oh no, I'm going to be in so much trouble. I ran into the gate and hurried to art, not even going to my locker to put stuff down.

When I got there, I was panting, everyone stared at me, the teacher gave me a detention and I went to sit at my seat next to Sarah on the table with Brian, Ben and Sky. Of course, we had to be doing group work as a table. We took the time to talk while we were working.

"Oh my gosh!" Sky almost screamed.

"What?" I said in a annoyed tone.

"You're late!" he exclaimed, 'YOU are LATE!" he said emphasizing on the 'you' and 'late'.

"Well spotted, genius." I said sarcastically. He stared at me in amazement.

"We should get on with our work..." Sarah stated because we were all just looking at Sky.

"So.... what's up with you and Zack?" Sky asked after calming down. Brian immediately looked up at me.

"Nothing!" I said angrily.

"Doesn't look like nothing to me." Ben eyed Zack at the other side of the room. Zack smiled and waved at me. "He was looking at you for quite a while, he must really like you." Ben added.

"Ooooooooooooo, someone has a boyfriend!" Sky said before I could argue with Ben.

"I don't! We're not together and never are going to be, there is nothing going on between us." I told all of them.

"Seems like Zack would say otherwise." Sky said looking away.

"Can we just get on with our work now?" Sarah said, doing the work, she was obviously annoyed. But why?

Then, it hit me, like a ton of bricks, Sarah likes Zack...
