Forever Changed

Chapter 16

The events of yesterday were still unfolding. People looked at me as if I had three eyes. As I walked past people they would whisper as if I don't all ready know or hear what their saying. Right now I don't care, don't get me wrong of course it hurts and I don't want people to talk about me, but right now I don't care. All I care about right now is my date with Alex that's gonna happen tomorrow, Taylor salvation, and my family. Nothing else matters right now. Sure grades are something but not when your sister just died. Speaking of grades Mr. Thompson is making us write an essay on where do we think we would be in ten years and explain on how we would get there. Seriously? I don't even know what I would do when I get home tonight, how am I suppose to write this. And it's not like he gave us a lot of time he gave us until Monday. Not a lot of time.  

Lunch arrived so Alex, Taylor, and I went to the tree, our new hang out, and ate our lunch and talked. "So Alex where you taking Sarah to?" asked Taylor. 

"That is something she will find out tomorrow." said Alex. 

"Come on I won't be there so I should at least get a little peak on what your going to do." said Taylor. 

"No you don't need to." said Alex. 

"All right guys stop fighting and lets focus on something important." I said. 

"Like?" asked Alex. 

"The essay. I need help I don't know what to write about." I said. 

"Just say something it doesn't have to be true. I wrote that one day I'll be a doctor, like that's gonna happen." said Taylor. 

"And how do you plan on achieving that outrageous goal that won't happen?" I asked. 

"Don't you have to like go to school for that then work at a hospital?" she asked. 

"Something like that." said Alex. 

"But you see I want this to be real." I said. "What did you write about?"  

"Well I wrote that I wanted to be a pastor." said Alex. 

"Ohhhhhh nice fit." said Taylor. 

"Yeah I think you would be a great pastor." I said. 

"Thanks. It's nice to have the support between my friend and my girlfriend." he said. Did he just call me his girlfriend? I'm his girlfriend!!!!!!!  

"Did you just call Sarah your girlfriend and me your friend? That's mean I thought I was your buddy, your pal, your best amigo. I guess I thought wrong." said Taylor giving her best hurt face. 

"You are Taylor." he said as he lightly punched her arm. 

"Don't hit me." she said shocked and punched him hard then she laughed. "Don't underestimate me. No seriously Sarah's your girlfriend?" she asked. 

"Yeah I mean unless she doesn't want to." he said looking at me. 

"Yeah I'm his girlfriend." I said holding his hand. He smiled and so did I. 

"Ok I'm going to need to find new friends. I don't want to be a third wheel." said Taylor. 

"No your not going to be. When we are all together we won't be all lovey dovey." I said. 

"Agreed." said Alex. 

"Ok I guess." said Taylor as she put a cupcake that she had on Alex's face. He had icing all over his face. Taylor and I started laughing. "That's what you get for calling me friend."  

"Ok it's on." he said and we had an icing fight. When we were done we went the bathroom to clean ourselves off.  

"So he called you his girlfriend." said Taylor when we were clean some of the icing off our face.
