In A Heartbeat

Chapter 10

I was shocked,am sure i wet my pants, what did I hear my parent are getting divorced.

"Is this a joke cause if it is it's not funny."I said trying to laugh it out,seeing my reaction my dad brought out a brown envelope and he handed it over to me I opened it and glanced at it not really understanding it but I knew it means they are separated."So this is no joke."They nodded in unison.

It felt like my heart stopped beating for a second."We have made our decision and we think is the best for both me and your mom."

The best for them! What about me do any one of them care about that.

"So,"it was my mom talking this time."We decided on who is going to take custody of you,but we want to hear from you maybe we can reverse our decision,so who will you like to go with me or your dad?"

What?Are they seriously dragging me into this.

"Mom,dad why did you get a divorce WHY?"I asked confused,I thought they decided to work it out.

"We can't explain that to you right just tell us who you choose!"Dad said discarding my question.

I shaked my head nervously and got up to leave them,I went upstairs into my room and let out all my emotions I did not know how long I cried because when I woke up it was morning. I took a quick shower,and I wore a white jean with blue short sleave croptop,a combo jacket with a white sneakers, I put on a slight make-up on my face which was all puffy from crying last night.I went out of my room and decided on avoiding both mom and dad,luckily I didn't meet them but saw that mom prepared breakfast pancakes and a bottle of strawberry syrup, now I couldn't avoid that could I? My stomach growled harshly and I rushed to eat, I was done in no time and left the house.

I decided on walking to school to clear my head I didn't actually know what I should be expecting in school but am sure it's bad news!

I got to school it was a thirty minutes treak distance but it was worth it I wasn't feeling exhausted at all but refreshed.Apparently Andrea waited for me at the school gate I smiled at her as she hung her hands over my shoulders."Now no one will dare touch you."I smiled brightly how lovely of her.We walked through the school all and lot of people were staring at me and people whispering in urshed tones and even giggling excitedly while Andrea gave them a death glare!

It seems the students were distracted by something or someone because they stopped looking and looked at the entrance.I was curious also so I turned and saw Dayne walking in which made all the girls squeal excitedly while Emily had her hand intertwined with her own.They came a stop in there movement when they saw me.

I looked away and kept walking dragging Andrea along with me.

"Why did you drag me."she muttered grumpily trying to catch her breath.

"Are you seriously asking Fyi okay,I did not want to stay there and we will be late for math,"I defended myself.She just rolled her eyes and went to class and her followed her had only few minutes before the bell.

Soon the bell and I went to seat at front seat during math trying to avoid dayne but I do know that it was a great mistake.Mr.Baker started teaching in earnest but soon I got sleepy this has never happened and this was because I didn't get much sleep last night I put my head on the table to nap a bit.

"Miss.Baxter!"Mr.Baker called,"Miss.Ashley Baxter."My eyes shot open and saw him tapping his foot impatiently."Y-yes sir."I answered as I jumped up startled.

"Miss.Ashley I can't believe you slept in my class,you know that is a sign of disrespect and am highly disappointed I didn't expect this at least from you."Here we go again with the sob story.

"Am giving you detention you will think twice before sleeping in my class.the said going over to his table taking his table to get the detention of slip."I knew it was useless arguing with him cause he will only get me another one,I went over and collected the slip.I went to my seat trying hard to keep my eyes open though it was hard.Soon the bell rang and Andrea came rushing to my side.

"Some good girl you are."she said sarcastically.

"Yeah,and I got detention to prove that."I said smiling.

Before she could reply Ms.Baley walked into she class and Dayne walked out briskly followed by Emily,obviously they were not offering French.

Though French was one of my favorite subject I wasn't concentrating, my mind drifted off to Dayne.What could he be doing right now, was he with Emily,of course they are together and that's just none of my business.I shook my head quickly.

"Miss.Baxter is every thing okay."Is all the teachers on to me today.

I flashed her a beautiful smile."Am okay Ma'am."

"Okay just make sure you focus."She said turning back to the board to write something on it.

Soon we were in the cafeteria having lunch when Dayne and Emily walked in hand in hand they looked happy.

"How did you get your boyfriend from that little cunt."I heard a voice say from behind me.

A cunt?

Seriously!

Before I could recover from that state of shock I heard Emily voice and I turned to see her crack up a smile."That's because Dayne is so much in love with me he apologized and told me she flirted with him first,right?"She directed her question to dayne and he nodded to confirm it."I love you."she leaned in and pecked him.

"I love you too"he replied.

My mouth dropped opened in awe,this was the Dayne who apologized to me and took me out I knew he got back with Emily but this was way out of line.I was really angry and I was fuming.

"My friend is not a flirt and you mind your tone."I can tell that Andrea is trying to contain her anger.

"That's the truth isn't it the truth must sting badly,how many guys have you seduced hey everyone listen up it's better you keep your guys closely because this twat might end up snatching her."Emily said with a mischievous grin.

"Now you are way out of line Emily, one I didn't flirt with your boyfriend he doesn't worth my time and two you are just being an ass are you jealous of me or something."No until when I said did I feel the gravity of what I said I looked slightly at Dayne and I saw him hurt but when I remembered what he said about me I became more angered.

But seriously Emily jealous of...

Me?

Impossible!

"Are you trying to be funny."Emily smiled."Because I should be asking you that question you got nothing I should be jealous of."She said smiling broadly."You guys should seriously be careful about your boyfriend getting snatched by this whore I just care about you guys."She said putting up a sympathetic look.

"Boo."someone booed and threw an apple at me,"Boo,get away from here you are a flirt."ice cream was dumped on me,then the booeing got louder and more stuff were thrown at me Andrea tried to help but she also ended up with food substance on her,I ran out of the Cafeteria and went to the bathroom I looked like shit!

"Are you alright."Andrea said stepping in.

"Seriously I look like a clown."I said trying not to break down but I didn't do a good job
