The Silent Killer

Chapter 3

I swear for the whole entire day, except for Math, we pretty much learned all of our classmates names. Just imagine walking down the hall when you here someone say your name. So you turn around and see some kind of stranger standing there smiling at you. Well that's how it was for half of the day. It was finally lunch and I sat at a table in the cafeteria with my friends and ate a cheese sandwich with carrots at the side. Not much. My friends started talking about some kind of nerdy stuff so I opened my doodle book I brought with me and started doodling in it. I started to doodle a dragon because I'm love drawing them. If you look through my book there's probably a million different dragons in it. I noticed someone sit beside me but I didn't know who it was. "These look really cool Alex." I looked up and saw Daniel sitting next to me, smiling. My face started to turn red and I freaked out. Now when I get really nervous, I start to act a bit crazy. Or a lot. I got up out of my seat with a crazy smile and said. "You think my drawings are good? Well then, you should see my dancing!" I started dancing around the cafeteria doing the worst moves possible. Everyone was staring at me and some were laughing. I did a big ballerina spin and looked over at Daniel to see he was gone. I looked around and almost started crying. "Are you okay, Alex?" said Chloe, worried. I felt a tear fall down my face and I ran out of the cafeteria. For the rest of the day, nobody came near me. At least strangers didn't say my name anymore! Right? Anyways, the school day was over so I packed my bags and ran back home so I could call Daniel and explain to him that craziness I had there, since I have his phone number still. When I entered the house my mom was cleaning the dishes. "Hey sweetie! Um, I heard about what happened today. Do you want to talk about it?" She said. I took out my iPhone and the slip of paper and started to dial Daniels number. "Um... no it's okay mom I just um... needed to let out my thoughts" I gave her a kiss and ran into my room. The phone was ringing when finally he picked up. "Hello there." "Hey Daniel! It's Alex. Can we...." "I'm sorry I couldn't take your call right now please leave a message at the beep!" "BEEP!" I ended the call and threw my phone on my bed and laid down. What if he didn't pick up because he thought I was a lunatic? Probably everybody thinks that by now but I thought I had a chance with him. And now this is probably the last time I'll ever see him again (since he won't come near me.) I started to cry when I heard my door open. I sat up and saw my mom there, with a worried look in her face. She came over to me and picked me up, cradling me in her arms. "Sweetie, life can get tuff sometimes and you need to come to me when this happens." she said. I wiped up my tears and looked at her. "Y-You just don't u-understand mom. I r-ruined my only c-chance." She put me down on my bed and gave me a serious look. " Was it about a boy? I can talk to his mother if he did ANYTHING to hurt you or if he touched you somewhere." " Omg! Mom no!" I said, laughing my head off. She smiled " There's my girl. Now get ready for bed and come down for dinner." She kissed me on the head and left the room. My mom always makes me feel better when I'm down and I love it. I got in my purple PJ bottoms with a white top that said "I'm so fancy" and ran downstairs to have dinner. Soon, dinner was over and I hopped into bed and watched some Vines before I had fallen asleep. I woke up and looked at my clock. It was 8:30. 8:30! I was going to be late for school! My mom didn't to wake me up! I jumped out my bed and got ready. I put on some white shorts and a purple shirt with a rainbow on it. I then tied my hair up in a ponytail and ran downstairs. My mom must of forgot to wake me up before she went to work because I was all alone. I grabbed a leftover pizza from the fridge from our dinner we had last night and started eating it as quick as I could. I packed my bag and checked the time. 8:50! I shoved down the pizza down my throat, without chocking, slipped on my favorite white converses, and ran to school. I got to school just in time when the bell rang. I walked into Math class and sat in my seat. "Where were you?" Chloe whispered. "I...was...late. Slept...in!" I said trying to catch my breath. Daniel entered the room and I try not to make I contact with him. Mr.Hamilton walked in, making it worse. " Ugh. Today class we are working on are adding and subtracting. We have a test next week, so start working on it!" He groaned. He was grumpy once again. He handed us a 3 paged worksheet and then sat at his desk and ate a apple while we got to work. I swear he made this the most difficult worksheet in the world of adding and subtracting. Yet the period went by pretty fast and the bell rang for me to go to music.
