The girl who lived

Second chapter:

When we arraived to school, my best friend Andrew was sitting in the stairs listing to music. He is a tall guy 6'1, dark brown hair , enchanting green eyes wich are hard to see, because of his glases. He sits there motionless. "Hey" , I say, but he doesn't hears me. "Heeeeeeey!" , I say louder. "Oh hey" , he answers me. "What are you listing to?" , I ask. "Boys like girls" ,he answers. "What song?". "First time", he says. "Nice", I tell him.

He gets up and we go inside the school. I go to my locker to get my history book and suddenly Andrew stands in the middle of the locker. "What are you doing?", I ask him. "Lets do something crazy!", he says. "Like what?". "I don't know I just want to do something crazy!" He answers. 'riiiiiiiiiing' the school bell rings. "Lets just go to class", I say. In a second the hall is cleared out. "Lets ditch class", Andrew says with a smile that covered his entire face. "Are you crazy? I'm not dishing school now move we are gonna be late for History", I reply to him. "Lindsay, tell me when was the last time you did something fun? You go from school to your house everyday and you never have fun!", he says. " Ok will go to the movies or the mall on saturday,but right now we have class" , I answer him.

"Lindsay life is for the living you gotta go there and grab it and live it to the fullest. Have fun, have adventures,live a little, life is short lets have some fun, you don't know how short life is we could die tomorrow!" , Andrew says and there's a moment of silence. I know life is short and I've been on the edge of dying , and it is awful.Andrew realizes what he says and says his sorry. "Is okay, lets do it", I say. "Wait you'll do it?", he asks. "Didn't you heard me, now let's go before I change my mind".

We go outside and into Andrew's car."To where?", he says. "Surprise me", I reply. We ride in the car listing to music and singing along to the lyrics of some of Andrew's favorite songs.

In about fifteen minutes we are parking ourselfs in the parking lot of the mall. "This is the best you could do? The mall?" , I ask him. "Just come with me", he says. I follow him into the mall. We go around the corner to the left and to the right. Passing the slow crowd of people that was there. Andrew takes me to some stairs and we go up.

We end up at the roof of the mall. Adrew takes a look at me and runs to the border of the roof. He sits at the border with his feet hanging over, pointing to the ground. "Are you crazy?", I scream at him. "No I'm dauntless, come and join me Lindsay, be brave". I smirk getting the goofy reference. I run up to him and join him. "So what now? there's nothing to see here, that building blocks the view to the horizon", I say I expected him to sit there in silence and watch the horizon , but we do something diferent insted.

"Look at them there so foucosed on their daily lives, they don't see the world around them" , Andrew says looking to the street. We are only like 40 or 50 feet above the ground so we can still see the people down there and what there doing. "They do things in such a strict order. They wake up go to work and go home again. Its all so frustrating how everyone just follows a rutine. Oh Lord how I hate routine!
People wanting to 'progress' do things as life tells them to, like if there was a book or something. They get attached to a certain living and with out them wanting or noticing they are slaves of there own lives." "It just bothers me so much to do that to end up like them. Letting life eat me trough, not exploring whats out there and not having an adventure, you know ,like waking up and saying I'm going to finnland today and go to Finland and while I'm there get a tattoo a weird one."

For a second Andrew stops talking and I think about how right he is. And how we go true life traped in a box of blindness. Not seeing farderaway from the horizon line. Until I acknowledge that he is in some way wrong. So I smirk at him and tell him: "You don't know how wrong you are", I say. "Excuse me ?" , Andrew says a little ofended. "You know, there's some one down there getting on a cab to see his mother that he/she hasn't seen in years becuase he/she was in war. There's someone down there crossing paths with a stranger that in a future will be their spouse. There's a guy down there who finally worked up the courage to propouse to his girlfriend. There's a kid over there standing up to his bully. There's a girl who's reciving her first kiss and another one getting asked to prom. Theres a baby being born and theres one taking its first steps.And finally theres someone like you and me doing some thing so stupid like ditching school for a day. Because some adventures my friend are in the little things" , I say. Andrew looks at me his eyes greener in the sunlight,he smiles. His smile louder then the thoughts in his mind, so he says nothing.

He stands up and helps me up aswell. We go down the stairs and to the mall again. We enter several stores. In a clothing store I make Andrew wear heels and the cashier laughs at us and tells us to leave. I try on dresses on another store and Andrew tells me how bad and box like my figure is. We enter a jewrly store and admire some beautiful diamond rings that were there. A woman that worked there recognized our young appiriance and said:

Worker:Aren't you kids supossed to be at school?
Andrew and me freak out, but Andrew improvises with something and I decided to follow his lead

Andrew:Oh! no mam I'm 23 and my fiance' here is 22 see we were looking for an engement ring.

Worker: Well you look quite young, and how do you even plan to pay that do you even work?

Me:Oh yes! he is very smart and graduated early from collage and now his the boss of a sucessfull enginiring biusness

Worker: Oh in that case how may I help you?

Andrew:we are looking for something fancy and beautiful.

The worker brings us a beautiful 18k golden ring with diamonds all around it. We were not going to buy anything so I tell the woman how can she possibly show us something so sheep and worthless and strom out of the store Andrew following me.

"That was amazing you should be an actor you sucssesful business man", I tell Andrew between laughs. "Me? you deserve an oscar for that" , he says. It was like 12:30 already so we decided to get something to eat. We bought some tacos eat calmly and in about 25 minutes we were living the mall. We drove around for a while passing the beach, talking nonsense things, raping songs etc. In like another hour my mother calls me and she said she was waiting for me at the school. I look at Andrew and told him, "We got cut". He instantly drove to the school and we got there in no time.

At the school my mother and my father were waiting for me such as Andrew's parents. "The principal said that since it was the first time we've had done something out of order she will only give us detention and the event would not go on our permanent record.

"Mom, I'm sorry I was just try-", I say ,but my mother cuts me off. "I don't want to hear it Lindsay", she says. "Miss. Rogers it's my fault ,the idea was mine", Andrew says. "I never thought you will be a bad influence to my daughther Andrew", my mother says and with that she leads the way to the car. Beore entering the car I glance at Andrew and whisper 'Thank you' to him.

On the ride home I know my parents were giving me a lecture I just didn't pay attention to them ,because my mind was to busy thinking about the day and how for once I had completely forgotten about about how depressing my life is.

When we got home in the dinner table my parents start with my punshment which includes no computer for a month unless is to do school related things.No cellphone for two weeks and no tv for a month.

For the rest of the dinner ,the table was silent. I could notice that my sister wanted to say something but once more she was hiding in my shadow.

Finally I left the dinner table, got a shower and went to my room. Since I couldn't do anything and I had no homework ,because I had ditch school. I went to bed. I felt asleep with the memories of the day.

*******

It was like 2:30 in the morning and I woke up ,because I felt something cold running down my cheeks from my nose. I thought that is was water so I just cleaned it away ,but it kept running down so I stood up and turn on the lights. My nose was bleeding so I ran to my parents bed room. "Mom , dad", I said. My parents woke up and saw me bleeding. The look on there faces was shocked and scared. This is bad very bad.
