Jennifer's Body

There's no anything Today

I spent the night cleaning up the alien vs predator goo that was on the floor before my mom gets home. Crying and terrified of my best friend and thinking maybe I lost my mind because there is no way that was Jen I mean why was she walking with all that blood.Shouldn't she be dead? And how isn't she! I clean myself up with the blackish reddish goo caking my cuticles and I just pass out.

The next day I gaze at a collide a scope of mourning faces and depression.The news of whose parents died and whose friends travelled  to heaven made the rounds and most kids were as dead as Jennifer looked last night. I head into science where I just sit thinking of that goop that Jennifer coughed up,out of nowhere Jennifer sits next to me looking radiant,how the fuck does that make sense! She doesn't have a cut or scratch on her from last night. I hold my nails up to her trying to get something out of her and "oh shit you need a mani bad,you should get an Asian to buff your situation" I can't believe this shit. I explained the fire trying to get her to remember "anyone we know" Jennifer asks and I tell her "we know everyone" to which she replies "sucks to be them I guess" I don't get what's happening Jen could be a bitch but she was never a cold hearted monster.

Our teacher begins to share the news we already knew and then tells everyone how señorita Ericsson died in the fire last night. "No way Ericsson ate shit" Jen was downright giddy,what the fuck? Then he mentioned how Ahmed passed as well and I swear I saw the hint of a smirk from Jen.As class got out I saw Jen leave and Chip come up to me "there's no band practice today?" I told him "there's no anything today" he gave me a one shoulder hug and we shuffled through the sea of misery that was today.

We were going to our second period math class and Colin came up to me. "I heard you were in the firey trenches last night" I felt awkward "yeah" and he smiled at me "well I am glad you didn't die....seriously" and away with the hot topic kids. Chip asked me how we knew each other,was he envious of Colin? I explained how we have creative writing and how he writes all dark and mysterious.Chip said he can be dark and mysterious but isn't a poser about it and I laughed,I love this boy he is such a goof.
