How I survived life... Sort of... Jinara Giddyon

Chapter 5

September 6th 2007

Hey! Me Jinara again. Guess what? My teacher paired me up with somebody other than my twin sister! I can't believe this. At least my other teachers didn't give a project THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! Good thing I can rant in here. BECAUSE I REALLY NEED TO RANT!!! My sister and Anasia look like they are really having fun. I'm stuck with Lanette and she's not doing anything. She's just sitting there and sighing everytime I ask "Are you gonna do something or what?¨ She sighs and picks up her pencil and twirls it. I can't stand her and she better know it. I cannot wait until my sister and I can be partners, because I really need her right now :c

I opened up our project and looked it over. ¨Okay, it's starting to look good Lanette!!!" Considering I did all the work for it... I thought angrily. The project was to work on a newspaper on our school. It was actually kind of fun... but Lanette is here. She is very rude.

I watch my sister laugh with Anasia. I fold up the newspaper I made. "Okay, can we hand this in now???" I ask, with a bit of an attitude. She shrugs and reluctantly gets up.

"Oh, I love this Charlotte!" Mrs. Smith says. "Im Jinara Mrs. Smith." She blushes. "Oh, i'm so sorry Jinara. Yes, I love it. Excellent job girls." Lanette rolls her eyes. But Mrs. Smith doesn't notice. "Okay girls, I am giving you an A+!" I cringed. I didn't think Lanette deserved to get any of the credit. But I didn't want to complain.

"Hey, I was thinking we should go to the ice cream parlor after school today Charlotte!" I said when we left class. She looked uncomfortable. Anasia gave me a dirty look. "I thought I was coming over to work on our project. Charlotte."

I looked hurt. I could feel it. "But... but... Charlotte?" Charlotte squirmed. "I am sorry Jinara. But I did say we would work on the project after school today." Anasia smiled. "Yea, so go away. Nobody cares about you." She laughed straight in my face. I turned to Charlotte, on the verge of tears. "I don't believe you. After all we've been through together. This is the way you treat me. Thanks. Thanks a lot." I turned away and started to walk, with tears running down my face.

"Jinara! Please, wait!!!" I heard Charlotte yell. But I didn't care. I wanted to leave. I can't believe my sister and best friend would do this to me. We promised each other when we were young to Never let anyone get in the way of our friendship! She was the one who made that rule! I was so angry and sad. I missed Charlotte already.

I took two lefts and a right to a friend's locker. Someone who I had ran into one year. Someone Charlotte knew nothing about. "Hey Gabe." I said, and leaned against his locker. He grabbed a book. "What is it? You look like you need a therapy session." I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, thanks. I just had my first fight." Gabe kinda looked away again, focused on his locker.

"With your boyfriend?" He asked, and I immediately laughed out loud. "Boyfriend??? HAHAHAHA! Oh please, what boy could possibly love me enough to date me? No Gabe, with my sister!"

Gabe give me a weird look, almost as if he was hurt. I cleared my throat. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel stupid or anything. But I had a fight with my sister." I sighed and leaned against the locker next to his. "We got different partners and Charlottes partner Anasia is coming over after school, and Charlotte didn't even tell me! Plus, turns out Anasia is a complete jerk! I can't believe this." I groaned. Gabe closed his locker. "Sticky situation! Have you guys ever even gotten into a fight before?" I shook my head no. We walked around the hallways a little. "You know, I never wanted to say this because it might hurt you, but I never really liked Charlotte." I was a bit taken back.

"Really?" I asked, and he looked at me. "I mean, you were my only friend when I was younger, so you were almost always with her. So I guess I was only jealous." He said. I giggled. "Awww... That's actually kind of adorable." He laughed a bit. "Yeah, a little. Hey, wanna come over and play some video games? Stay away from your sister a bit?" I smiled. "Yeah, that would be great. Some time to cool off," I answered. The bell rang. "Well, see you later!" Gabe said. "Yup! I'll be here!" I said, then went to class.
