Chapter 9

Chelsea Smith

"Quit the cheerleading squad if you don't eat." i threaten Cheryl.

Cheryl pouts at what I said. She hasn't eaten her breakfast, and my mother always warns me to eat breakfast because it's the important meal of the day.

Yes, Mom isn't here anymore, but she can come into my dreams which will turn into a nightmare in a second.

"Come on, eat. School is gonna start soon." I say to her.

"Morning." Alex says, stepping into the diner.

"Not eating... Again?" Alex looks at Cheryl, "she's the average size, she doesn't have to worry about a thing." He stated.

"Coming back home is the worst idea ever." I let out a groan and watch the teenagers walk by the diner.

"At least Rue is eating." Alex points out, "whatever, drive them to school." I say to Cheryl.

She nods and stood up with Rue and Max.

"Oh there's a pretty girl." Alex says, looking at the girl who has her laptop out on the table.

"I bet she's older than you." I laugh at what I said and went to make coffee.

"Yeah, who am I kidding?" He mutters, sitting down on the chair.

After I am done making the coffee, i place it in front of him.

"Brandon is gonna ask Cali out," Alex says.

"What?! He can't!" My eyes widen, "why not?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Because Michael asked her out yesterday night!"

"Well, stop Brandon!"

;

I look down at the letter, "I am going back to school." I muttered.

"What? Why?" Calum ask, his eyebrows furrowed.

"I don't know, they're just giving me a chance to study again. They are gonna give me a day in school to see how everything works out, and I will give them an answer after that." I let out a nervous breath.

"Go to school then," Luke says.

"I dropped out of school for a reason." I stated, "you dropped out when you're 15, things can change within 3 years." He points out.

I hate it when he is right.

"No, I am not going back to school." I concluded.

"Why not?" Michael ask.

"Because the people in there suck," I simply reply.

"Funny how I used to be in the school as you," Luke mutters.

"You suck too." I stated.

"Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea!" The door slam open.

"Fuck off." I roll my eyes at Stephanie.

"Aren't you suppose to be in school or something?" Michael looks at her.

"Well I am a badass," Stephanie stated.

I let out a loud laugh, "bitch, I am the only badass in this town."

Stephanie looks at me, slightly surprised.

"Oh snap." Lea put her arms around Calum.

I still have no idea how they both got together.

Stephanie leans in, "watch your mouth, Smith. Rumors are going around school." She whispers.
