My Name Is Payton

Chapter Two - Issy James

Chapter Two - Issy James

"Wake up Payton, time for school." I opened my eyes groggily and moaned. I suddenly had a great idea.

"Urm Mother." I called her with a slight cough. She ran into the room, with the laundry in her hands.

"Yes Payton."

"I don't feel too well, I have a cough and a cold and a head ache and I feel quite dizzy all of a sudden," I said over-exaggeratingly holding my head as if it was about to fall off, "may I stay off school a couple of days?"

"Hmm...is this just a trick or are you really feeling ill?"

"Of course it's not a trick. I honestly feel sick!" I exclaimed.

"Well...maybe one day, it won't do any harm."

"Oh thank you!"

"But try and make sure you at least do some work in the day. There's some pasta in the fridge. You know what to do, your father and I will only be back around 5:30 from work."

"Okay, see you later!" I hollered, before I dove inside my warm palace of dreams.

I was awoke by a strange beeping sound, which I later foretold as my iPhone signalling I had a call. I looked at my phone slowly, in bold letters it said 'Issy James'. I stabbed the answer button with my thumb and lazily said a mumbled 'hello'.

"Hey Payton."

"Hey Issy, what do you want? I was sleeping and you know I hate being disturbed when I'm sleeping!"

"Well someone got out of the wrong side of bed today."

"Correction, I didn't even get out of bed today. I'm still in bed because I was-"

"Sleeping, I know." She interrupted. "I just wanted to ask how you've been because of your breakup, seeing as that was probably the reason you didn't come into school today."

"I don't know what to do Issy, how could he do this to me? We were dating for 2 years 7 months and 12 days. The whole school probably knows now, don't they?" I sighed at the same time as I rubbed my eyes.

"Yeah...I don't know Payton, I'm sorry. Just be strong. And yes the whole school knows, word gets around fast in our tiny school of ours."

Bonjour!

Sorry, this is quite a short chapter, I know. I wanted to put up another chapter but I didn't have much.
