I Could Really Use Somebody

Chapter 3

***Lauren's P.O.V***

The day dragged on for 6 hours and 25 minutes. I would know, I stared at the clock the entire day. The good thing is, I didn't get yelled at for being late or anything.

I walked home and plopped down on my bed and practically forced myself not to cut. I treys, but I gave in. I made 2 cuts on my right arm right below the cuts from yesterday. I started cleaning up the bathroom and I hear "Lauren, suppers ready and when were done I have a surprise for you!" My mom said. What the fuck. My mom never gets me anything, let alone surprises me with anything.

I walk downstairs to see a very vibrant smile on my moms face. I wanted to ask but I was really distracted by the food. It was like a whole freaking buffet.

Of course I dug in and licked my plate clean and had seconds. What? I like to eat.

My moms smile hasn't faded the entire time so I got the courage to ask her.

"Hey mom?" I say. "Yesss" see says back. "Not trying to be rude or anything but why are you so smiley?" I laughed. "Well I guess it's time to tell you the surprise!" He practically screamed.

She went to the living room and came back with something behind her back. She then pulled them out and they were plane tickets. What?

"What are these?" I asked in confusion. "Plane tickets!" She beamed. "Forrrr?" I dragged out. "We're moving to North Carolina!!!" She screamed and jumped up and down.

Wow, okay?

All of the sudden I felt this instant happiness inside of me. I don't really know why but I feel like I could climb a freaking mountain!

"OMG that's amazing!!" I finally scream back. I defiantly was excited to get away from that demon high school.

"Only problem is, we're moving in two days..." She whispered the last part. "So you have some packing to do missy!" She added.

I ran up to my room. And when I say ran, I mean RAN. I was so excited to leave this old ratted house and leave that DEMON HIGH SCHOOL!!!

This could be it, this may be my chance to make some friends. To be happy for once. To change!
