"Jane you cant just not go!" Annie complained.
"its only homecoming Annie.my whole life doesnt depend on it!" I said walking away to get to my locker through the sea of kids. Clearstone was a small school were everyone knew everything about well..everyone. Annie had been my friend sense kindergarden, only because she wormed her way into my life weather i wanted her or not. She was the only one to actually care for me other then my family.
"I dont even have a date. Why would i go alone?"
"I would cancel with Derek to be your date but he already bought me a crosage. Just come Jane it will be your last chance to go to home coming it is your senior year afterall!" The bell rings starting lunch hour. After getting my lunch sack out of my locker I turned to Annie as she rumages around in hers to find her bag.
" Ive still got prom. Prom is a bigger deal then homecoming."
"Alright you win. Im going to find Derek. do you need a ride home later?"Annie yells as she walks toward the cafatiria.
"No i have a ride." I say.
Our cafatiria has an patio outside. Is my preferable spot to sit under one of the big oak trees, away from everyone else.Ive never been able to fit in. All of the girls excliuding Annie give me glares on a daily basis, thats never really made sense to me, and the boys avoided me like the plege. so you can tell, no one likes me much so i avoid them all together.Annie and Derek normaly eat lunch with me but today they are nowere in sight, but my guess is they are. probably making out in a janitors closet.
When the last bell rings i make my way out the front doors of the building and start my walk home, i told Annie I didnt need a ride home is because i dont, its just a short walk threw the woods.
I like this walk because i use it to clear my head before i see my mom. shes got it hard enough caring for my 5 siblings that she doesnt need to know im a loner at school.My mother is Irish and my father was German. They excaped to the states when my grandfather (dads dad) attemted to ruin their wedding. He never liked my mom because she wasnt German and their kids (Us) wouldnt be pure German. now there are 5 of us, Alex and Andy are 7 year old twins with blonde hair and blue eyes like my father. David and Chris are 12 years old the second set of twins with redish brown hair and green eyes like my mother. Yes. i have a twin too his name is Liam. i will never be able to explain why we have golden eyes but our hair is our mothers. Liam is my only sibling that is older even if its only by 27minutes. my father passed away 6 years ago after he was shot in a riot in brazil. He was stationed there in the marines. The bullet didnt kill him but an infection that went straight to his heart did. They told us it would take 2 weeks for the infection to kill him. He died three days later.
So deep in my thoughts I didnt notice that there was someone walking towards me on the trail, well not until i ran into a very hard warm thing.
