Still Alive

Chapter 2

  On Sunday, I had a massive headache, like you could never imagine. But that didnt stop me from spending my entire day over at Kenzie's house, where I saw that curly kid again. It seemed like he was a natural pain in the ass, I had to leave early because I had just about all I can take of the guy, and plus, I had to go to school the next day.

    It was Monday and I was now in the chamber some called school. I dont know how people like this place, its horrible. The only class I did like though, was my last class; creative writing. I liked it as my last class because the teacher liked me and if anything went wrong during the day, I could just let it all out in that class.

    I was putting my books into my over stuffed locker when I hear a very familiar voice that makes me cringe everytime I hear it  "Hey Jennifer, how are your 17 brothers and sisters doing? I turned around to face her, and it was none other than Stacy, the girl who had made it her life mission to make my life a living hell, only because I had gotten the role in the 7th grade musical instead of her. Now she was one who really knew how to hold a grudge.

      "Oh they're great, what about your mom, is she out of rehab yet? And how's your rapist daddy, Still in jail, I suppose?"  I felt a smile creep amonst my face when I saw Stacy roll her eyes and walk away. You would think that after going through this with her at least 5 times a day, she would know that I cant and wont keep my mouth shut.

      I shut my locker, pulled my bag over my shoulder, and there was that face, Big green eyes, curls falling perfectly into place, with a smile that revealed his very deep dimples.

       I let out a sigh,  "What are you doing  here?"  I said walking away

     "I want to take you out. Like on a real date, just us two."  I heard him say. Was he serious?

     "I need to get to class." I told him, picking up my pace.

    "Please." Poor curls,  he sounded desperate, but I was not about to give in.

     "I dont even know you name." I said, now facing him.

     "Jennifer,"  Wait, he knows my name?

     "My name is Harry, and I really want to take you out sometime." He said, reaching for my hand, but it was wierd so I pulled away.

      "Sorry, Im a really busy girl, and I really need to get to class now." I told him as I began tohead to class.

        "Dont you worry Jen, I'll be back!"  I heard him yell. I smiled hearing him say that. He was so cute, trying and begging, but why did he want to take me out so badly? Just to finish where we left off on Saturday? The thought just made me hate Harry even more. Why did he have to be so darn cute and look perfect, only to ruin it when he opened his mouth?

      I somehow managed to get through Monday, But boy was it awful. First Stacy comes and makes a stupid remark, and well seeing Harry just kinda ruined my day altogether. I was expecting it to get better though, but nooooo. Today was just not my day.

     After the bell rang, and school was out, I began to make my way to the city bus stop, because I did not have a car like all the other juniors did. The wind was blowing, the skies got darker, it was wierd actually. It was only October and it was already freezing! I was obviously not prepared, I was wearing jeans with a white V-neck. I could already see the bus stop in the distance when I heard someone call out  "Jennifer! Wait up!"  I didnt even have to turn around to see who it was. Obviously this boy could not take a hint.

     I picked up the pace, but so did he.. Harry pulled me by my waist and made me face him.

      "So about that date." HIs words hitting my face in such a way, it made me cringe.
