Hayes. The Hayes Grier. The most popular guy in school, said that my jacket is cool. Like what. It took me a good minute to let that sink in.
Classes flew by quickly, now it was time for lunch.
Looking around, I spotted an empty table and headed towards it.
You see, Bea and I have different classes. Besides English class, first period, which is the only one we have together. So she has lunch before I do. But sometimes she skips a class to come have lunch with me.
Anyways, sitting down, I pulled out my favorite book, Among Friends, that has writing,notes and other marks on it.
I don't usually eat lunch. I don't have a big appetite I guess. Well at home, I can eat a damn cow.
Anyways I began reading over my favorite part;
"I have no emotion to spare. I'm using it for something else. I go to school for an education, and that's that. Not for friends or fun."
Reading over the pink highlighted part, I kinda agreed with Paul.
As sad as it sounds I only come to school for education. & maybe because of Hayes. But I always wanted to be someone in life. And that's what I'm trying to accomplish.
Of course, Bea is my one and only friend, and I think she's only being my friend because she feels bad for me.
Or that she can have a 'nerd' friend that she can copy off and get a good grade. I don't even consider myself as a nerd. Of course I get good grades, probably the second highest grades, besides Kira. But whatever right?
I really don't like to think about stuff like that, but sometimes I can't help it. Plus, if I were her, I'd feel bad for myself as well.
Anyways, I continued my reading.
I felt someone's gaze on me, but it's probably just the usual, people looking and talking about me. Shaking it off, I grabbed my stuff and walked out of the cafeteria.

"I'm home!" I shouted walking inside the house. Dropping my bag by the door.
Assuming no one is home, since I didn't get a response, I walk into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from on top of the counter and washed it.
Looking around, I saw a note hanged up on the fridge door.
' I went to work.
I left 20 dollars on top the counter. Order pizza for when Bea comes over. Call me if anything happens. Love you. Xx
Mom x
You see, my mom works as a nurse, so she's barley home. As for my brothers, they visit my dad. So they happened to be visiting my dad at the moment.
You may be wondering why am I not visiting my dad. Well you see, my mom only had enough money to buy two flight tickets. Since my dad lives in Miami, the tickets are pretty pricey.
So the good sister that I am, I let my brothers go. My mother and I stayed behind in sweet North Carolina. Besides, I get to see him in a few months anyways.
Looking at the counter, I saw the $20 and grabbed it and headed towards my room.
Plugging my phone into the speakers, I played I'm A Mess by Ed Sheeran.
Dancing around in my room, with the apple still in my hand, I glanced out the window and saw that the sun was as bright as ever today.
Throwing away the half eaten apple in the garbage by my desk, I untied my black Doc Martens and took them off.
