Algebra and irish;) (student/teacher)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22--------------------------------Today was Friday. Alex has skipped the last two days of school and stated home not speaking to anyone. Her days had consisted of finishing her homework, playing with Rambo and ignoring emails and text from her friends and family. They should know by now when she wants to be alone. She just wants to be alone. Now her heart was beating frantically ever since she set foot on campus. She had gotten dropped from her first class from missing to many days do now mr. O'Gradys class was her first. She was terrified of how it would be today. Slowly walking up the steps she stopped in front of his room. Not hearing any voices inside she took a deep breath and pushed the door open. The class room was empty with the exception on mr. O'Grady at his desk with his head in his hands. Upon hearing the opening of the door his head shot up.

"Alex"

"umm where is everyone?"

He looked so different since she last seen him. Even though it had only been a few days he looked like he hadn't slept since.

" I canceled class today "

"oh ok um ill see you Monday then"

As she turned to walk out she heard his chair scrape the ground and before she knew it she was back in the room pressed against the door.

"where have you been"

"that's none of your concern" she said causing him to hit the side of the door.

"bull shit! Dont try that with me. After everything that happened Monday then you miss all week I was worried."

"you're my TEACHER the only thing you have a right to be worried about is my GPA" she snapped back.

"and what of those scars on your wrists? Am I suppose to ignore those then lass?"

Alex jerked as If he had slapped her. One hand automatically going to tug her sleeve down over the scars.

"those are none of your business! "

"those are terrifying. I don't want something to happen to you"

" stop pretending like you care! It's bull shit and we both know it. Just grow up and be a damn teacher and stop trying to lay your students" she sneered before marching out.----------------------------Alex stood in line at the air port waiting to board the plane to Florida. Jordan was beside her bouncing excitedly anxious for the wedding.

"I'm so excited!"

" it should be fun." Alex said looking bored.

"would you snap out of it! Damn you're like the grinch on Christmas"

"sorry Im not in the mood to celebrate love" Alex says throwing her hands up.

"think positive! Maybe you'll find a sexy groomsmen!" Jordan said wiggling her eyebrows.

"Yea because that's exactly what I want." she murmured rolled her eyes.

"I'm just tired of seeing you moping around and looking so depressed"

"I don't mope! I do damn good at being 'fine' like everyone else"

"mmhmmmm you know you never told me what happened"

"nothing happened. Nothing, just drop it."

Jordan made a cat clawing motion with her hands but dropped it as the plane attendant started to motion for people to get on.

Alex was pretty terrified of planes but she loved the weightless feeling she got from the take off. She firmly buckled herself in and laid her head back closing her eyes.

"you're not sleeping the whole ride" Jordan said as she sat down beside Alex.

"do you have a death wish"

"I'll be bored!"

Alex raised both of her hands as if weighing something.

"dead or bored... Hmm I vote for bored."

"smartass"

"better a smartass than a dumb ass" ---------------------------------------------sorry this wasn't the best chapter guys. Just have a lot on my mind but I'll update tomorrow with 'Kristin's wedding'
