I Need To Tell You My Story

Chapter 7: Tricks in School?

Monday 2000

Before you knew it grade 1,2 and 3 had finished and grade 4 is floating towards me, Rhett and link, The Three Mythical Beasts. Luckily Rhett and link have been in all of my classes so far. Everything has been normal in school but today was a preticular weird day...

I walked to school that day. I don't feel like catching the bus. For the past 3 years by life's kinda been a misery. My mother never sees me unless I stay up till 11pm and Rhett and Link are slowly starting to not see me to. Link is hanging around other girls now so I'm getting a bit jealous and sad. I wanted our love to last forever not 1 year. And Rhett is hanging out with boys now and I think he thinks if he hangs out with me he will get teased. We still all meet up at the cubby every afternoon but that's pretty much it because Rhett and link catch the bus with their new friends. I slowly walked across the curb not bothering to balance. I can hear a voice in the distance behind me. I don't care. I just walked on with my head drooping and looking at the ground below. "Lucille hey wait up!" I heard someone say running down the path behind me. I turned around to see Rhett with his school bag running down the path calling my name. I just turned back and continued walking. He properly wants to tell me something like "I, sorry I can't be your friend anymore". "Lucille...please...I...have something...to tell you" Rhett said panting and catching up with me. I rolled my eyes. "And what would that be Rhett?" I said. "Listen I know your upset that me and link aren't hanging with you as much but I think link still likes you" Rhett said. "Sure he does" I said being sarcastic. "No seriously he told me he other day that he has his eyes on someone special" Rhett said. "Yeah properly Lily or Christy or one of the popular girls" I said rubbing my arm. "No you Lucille don't you understand" Rhett said. "No I don't because I'm just a stupid kid" I said walking through the school doors leaving Rhett standing there...

"Ok so can anybody tell me what this is?" Mrs. July said. A few kids put their hand up. I looked around the room. I'm so bored. I noticed something different. Mrs. Julys bag has a small green thing sticking out. It's a small green leg. I've also noticed that link hasn't hung out at the cubby for the past 2 days. The bell rung to go home. "Remember you have to hand in your assignment tomorrow have a nice afternoon" Mrs. July said. She picked up her bag. A green slimy frog jumped out of her bag in fright and onto her chest. "AHHH!" Mrs. July screamed. The whole class laughed except for the girls who squealed and ran out of the classroom. I stayed there in my seat kinda enjoying the show as Mrs. July danced around the classroom screaming trying to get the frog off. It eventually jumped off her and bounced around the classroom. I walked out of my class. I can't stand her screaming. Kids ran out of the classroom and trampled all over me. I stayed there. Lying on the cold floor with foot prints all over my back. I got up and walked out the doors, depressed as usual. "Lucille" I heard a voice say. I turned around. Link is there smiling. My face went blank and I continued walking out of school. He ran after me. "Hey" he said playfully punching me in the shoulder. I grabbed his fist before he could punch me and I put it by his side. "Woah what happened did I miss something?" He said. "Yeah my heart" I said running out of the school doors and running down the pathway. A few tears rolled down my warm cheeks. I ran all the way home. I opened the door and locked it. Iran upstairs and threw myself onto my bed. I cried, a lot. I heard a knock on my window. I opened my eyes. I opened my window just as a small rock flew past my shoulder and into my room. Link is below my window with a handful of small rocks. "Sorry I thought you wouldn't open your window" he said. I slammed my window shut and went back to my bed. Small rocks flung off my window again. I opened my window. "Link if you don't stop that I'll started flinging rocks...at you" I said and slammed my window again. Rocks stopped flinging and bouncing off my window. Tear stains drenched my pillow. I held onto my pillow and closed my eyes thinking about the link and the prank...
