I want to be me. So i will. And I will try.

SayingGoodbye

•Chapter 2.•

I must've cried until I fell asleep because the alarm on my iPhone just went off. I moved and pushed everything out of the way to find my phone with my blurry morning vision. Got it! Time for school. The alarm read. I slowly and lazily walked to my closet. I whipped on some sweatpants and a tank top. Hey, if it's going to be the last time I'm going to be in this school why not break a few rules. Besides, I'm just breaking the dress code not the schools most prized possessions. I didn't bother to bring my backpack. I just stuffed a mini pencil and eraser into my jacket and my phone into my sweatpants and walked out. I took my skateboard to school. I didn't want to be with my mom for a while.

I got to school and walked up to my usual crowd of friends. Jennifer (my best friend), Emily ( My backup best friend) and Zach (My guy friend). They didn't realize me writhe my way into the group. "What's up, my homies." I said. The gang looked at me like I was a pebble in their shoes. Then they turned back to each other and kept talking. I wiggled my way back into the group. "Um hello? I said 'hi'" I tried talking to them but they won't listen to me. That's when the most betraying thing that ever happened to me in the world happened. "Heyyyy! It's Maddie!" How is that betraying you ask? Well, THEY WERENT TALKING TO ME. Apparently, this girl just walked up to them and they all greeted her. I was ultra confused. Are they replacing me? "Uh, who is this? Guys? Answer me!" I was getting aggravated. Zach finally couldn't handle it and speaked to me. "Ugh. You. We know you're moving. So we found another Maddie." He said. " What a coincidence her name is Madison, too." Emily said in a snobby way.

Now hold up. Hold up. Hold the truck up.

They, my friends that I have been with since 5th grade (we're in high school now), are getting mad at me for moving?

"Are you serious? Are you guys for real?" I shouted " You are replacing me with her because I'm moving to another state?!" I was seriously going to go all Jackie chan on them but let me hold my anger in just a little more. "Do you think I wanted to move? Do you think this was my choice? Did you even ever ASK me if I was going to visit again?!" I could see the guilt in their eyes. Not in Madison's eyes of course. It was silent for like a minute then the bell rung. Screw them. Screw them all. I just want to leave.

Class started and time for torture.

Zach was in my period 1. It's awkward now because we sit next to each other and our teacher always catch us together to Mr. Zinky always partners is up on something that involves...you know... partnership.

Well, ship me to Texas and call me Sally. Time for Partners. Since it was Friday, we get to pick our own partners. I got up and walked towards Zach's direction. He smiled thinking that I forgive him. Well, Zach, there is more chances of you getting struck by lightning then getting my forgiveness. I walked right pass him and straight to Anna. "Hey, Anna. Can we work together?" she looked up at me. She had this look in her face like she is confused of what species I am. Well, I don't blame her. I will probably look at me the same way if I came up to me and ask to be partners right out of the blue. You probably didn't understand that but oh well. She slowly nodded and scooted her seat to make room for me. The room got silent and everyone's eyes were on me and Anna. Turns out everyone was wondering what happen between me and Zach because we are always and I mean always together. Even Mr. Zinky was wondering, also. It was kinda embarrassing. "OK ANNA LETS GET STARTED ON OUR WORK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD BE DOING!"I Yelled to break the silence. It worked and some people laughed. Phew, at least that was over.

School went by pretty fast, it felt like one second I'm in 2nd period and another second it's the end bell. Everyone ran out the door and into the hallway like someone was giving away free $100 bills. I got my skateboard and skate off.
