CHAPTER 6. "NEWS OF A BREAK-UP"
Chemistry. One of the only reasons why I even go to school. And
for Jason, even though he probably doesn't notice
me.
Here's my quick summary until Chemistry...
Language Arts: I got back my test, B-. Not good, I usually get
A's. Hopefully my mom will understand. When I get out to go
to my locker, no Taylor around.
PreAlgebra: Jason was caught passing notes to Taylor and
Victoria. And I wasn't included. Why did I care? I mean,
I'm not supposed to care. It's fine. Why am I reassuring
myself. You know what? Forget it.
History: We started learning about the Muslim history. Normal
class.
Break: Nothing interesting.
Music: I take vocal, we learned a new song, 'A Blue
Starr'. Normal Class.
Okay, now Chem.101. I walked in and sat down a little bit earlier
than the others. But Jason was there. "Hey, good
movie?" He asked.
I know I should've answered with something cool like a,
"Yah, it was really cool. I'm glad I decided to
go." but instead, I said idiotically "I don't know,
it was um freaky and I don't really like um, scary movies.
Uh, it was.. Okay?"
I regretted those words but instead, he said "Ha, that's
kind of funny. I like horror movies but I don't really settle
for horror either. More like comedy, romance, and to tell you the
truth, fantasy."
He doesn't? For a second, Jason seemed like a different
person with a different personality. It felt awkward. I He always
seemed like the type to move away from comedy and ESPECIALLY
fantasy. Romance? Not much of a surprise but still.
Then the bell rang. I looked around and found that most people
had already filled their seats. Mr. Augustus walked in.
"Okay, Mr. Censors has left and I hope he was a good
subsitute. I apologize for my absence, I had to go to a science
teacher convention. So tell me, what did you guys talk
about?"
A kid, Mike, answered "We learned what happens to rubber
when freezed, it becomes brittle and becomes stiff unable to bend
or stretch.
"Good" he continued talking. I felt a cold hard stare
on my back and I resisted looking back but it was like those
horror movies where they always have you yelling, "Don't
go out, don't go out! Don't check out that weird
noise!" but they do anyways? Yeah, it was like that. It was
Taylor. She gave me hate of stare. I started to become awkward
and turned back feeling out of place.
The whole time during Chem., I just continued to feel
Taylor's stare and according to my senses, her eyes never
left my back. Her hating eyes, I didn't get it, it's not
like I did anything.
I felt so free when the bell declaring it was lunch rang. I was
finally free, I immediately fled and camouflaged in the swarm of
students. I had to buy lunch that day which I considered
miserable. Mystery mash potato. Everyone understood why it was a
'mystery', no one knew what was in it, a dark brownish
and sometimes, you couldn't tell if it was you or not but it
seemed to move every once in a while. 0-0
I went to the cafeteria and decided not to but anything. I sat
down next to Victoria and Jamie, no food in hands.
"Ah, your mom didn't give you any food?" I shook my
head, my stomach grumbled.
"Here, have my hot cheetos, don't feel like eating them
today." Jamie handed me here bag of cheetos. I
squealed and snatched the bag out of her hands. HOT CHEETOS!
my favorite snack.
"So, guess what!?!?" Victoria whispered leaning in. We
immediately leaned in, in one of us ever leans in, that means it
serious news, gossip or life. Apparently it was gossip because I
was hooked from the moment she said, "Jason and
Victoria..."
"Jason and Victoria broke up last night because Jason said
there was another girl that was on his mind!" This gave me a
flicker of hope, a small fire in my heart. That meant Taylor was
out and another girl was in.
Of course they didn't need to know and well, I wanted to be
nice so I said, "Omg! Really? I hope it's you guys
he's thinking about!" But inside I hoped it included me.
They continued to chat while I continued to think about our plan.
I finished up my last hot cheeto as the lunch bell rang.
Finally the time we've been waiting for.
