I sat in class not focusing on the board at all.

I felt so sad and lonely.

I realized how much I miss all of them.

I miss all their laughs, I miss all the practices they did.

"Carmen?" my teacher yelled with one eyebrow up. "Are you paying attention?"

I looked up at her and gulped. I spat the words, "No."

She looked above me suspiciously. "Why?"

I shook my head wanting to vanish out of the room. 

"I'm not having a good day." I mumbled.

"Is that so? We all aren't rainbows and ponies everyday. That's normal.. so having a bad day is no excuse for not paying attention. All right Carmen?" My teacher states with her nose high in the air.

I spat out the same words, "No"

She turned a bit red and bulged her eyes out. She came close up to me with her glasses pointed towards me, "No?"

"yeah, no. I'm not all right. I feel sick as hell. I'm hating myself right now because I don't know what to do with Luke-- I mean.. yeah" I nervously stuttered.

My teacher turned her head and told me to go outside the hallway.

Everyone stared as I walked out the door following my teacher with red lipstick on and high heels stilettos. 

I slammed the door behind us.. she didn't like that..

I grinned after slamming it and gave my full attention to her.

"Mrs.Gales, I'm sorry for my behavior." I whispered smiling.

"Carmen.. what happened?? With Luke..? That's his name right?? I'm always in for a gossip talk with a girl." She winked at me with her long glue-on fake eyelashes. Her blonde hair twirled and was very damaged like she has dyed it 3000 times. She was an old woman, but she dressed like she was 20 which was sometimes disturbing. She pulled down her white tube skirt down to her mid-thigh and looked at me, "So tell me." 

"Mrs.Gales.. I think we should just forget about this and continue class. I'm just having a bad day." I said tearing up a bit. I pulled up my long gray sweatshirt to wipe my tears. I looked so bad with a baggy sweatshirt,ripped up skinny jeans and a fake smile saying I'm sad with tears crawling down my red cheeks. 

"Aw honey, Carmen! It's okay. Tell me, sometimes it'll make you feel better to talk to someone.. let it out." She said pulling her hair behind her ear showing her red earring.

"Mrs.Gales, I don't think you're the right person for me to talk about this too." I say aggressively. 

Her nice smile turned into a frown. "Okay then."

I nodded just hoping we would get back in the room.

"Just tell me if you need me." Mrs.Gales smiles opening the door for me.

Finally.

After all my classes were over I went back to my room.

Allison wasn't home yet so I decided to wait for her for dinner.

She still wasn't home after 8 which kinda scared me, but I know she was trying to make me worried.

I grabbed my phone and went to my contacts.

I texted Ashton.

Carmen: 'Hi.. Ashton can I talk to you?"

Ashton didn't reply until 5 minutes later.

Ashton: "Sure. what is it about?"

Carmen: "I dunno, LUKE?!'' I noted the sarcasm.

Ashton:"Right.. sorry he hung up on you yesterday. He was nervous and shy.. he hasn't meet you in a long time you know?"

Carmen: "Yeah.. I guess. But it hurt me, I felt like he doesn't want to talk to me.. like he hates me."

Ashton: "Where do you live currently?"

Carmen: "I'm in college.. I'm in Texas."

Ashton: "We'll be there for a concert on September 21. San Antonio, Texas."

Carmen: "That's a bit far but I can make it..You guys are on tour?!?!?!??!?!?!?"

Ashton: "Yeah since April. We're touring with One Direction. We're in England right now."

Carmen:"WITH ONE DIRECTION HOW ON EARTH WHAT THE HELL. ENGLAND? YOU HAVE FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD?"

I was so shocked I literally flew across the room.

Ashton: "It's all because of our fans.. We are so proud! :) I have to go, hopefully we can meet you on September 21!!"

Carmen: "Okay! Keep in touch, I really miss you guys."
