Chapter Eight

Confused

As I went to school on this beautiful Friday morning, I couldn’t stop thinking about my date with Marcus. Well, I wouldn’t call it quite a date, more like two friends getting together and hanging out. Even if I were still with James, I would still want to see and talk to Marcus. He was like my brother, and he made me happy. He always knew how to make me smile and make me laugh. He would play games with me and let me vent all of my problems and frustrations to him.

His knowledge and wisdom went way beyond his years, and it showed. He was the one person I always knew I could count on.

I got to school and jumped out of the car with a beaming smile across my face. Nobody seemed to notice, but I didn’t care. I was feeling great and nobody was going to bring me down.

I walked to my locker and saw Ariel at hers. Her locker wasn’t too far away from mine, and I knew I needed to apologize to her. I hadn’t been a great friend and yelled at her when she was only trying to help me and be there for me.

I walked over to her and gave her a giant hug.

“What’s this for?” she asked with a smile.

“I was mean to you the other day and you didn’t deserve it. You were trying to be a good friend and I see that now. I just want you to know I am sorry for the way I acted,” I replied.

“It’s OK! I’m not mad at you!”

“It’s just that James and I broke up and I was feeling really down on myself and I took it out on the first person to come along.”

“You two broke up? Why?”

“Because of the fight he was in. I just don’t like that and thought it was better if we took a break.”

“I get ya. If someone gets that mad you never know if they would do it to you.”

As we were talking, the bell rang.

“Are you ready for the test today?” she asked.

“Test? What test?”

“Oh yeah, you were gone. We have a history test today. I don’t think it will be too bad, though.”

Great, just great. Since I was gone I didn’t even know about this test and now I was going to fail it. Even when I was there I was so obsessed with James and everything that I wouldn’t have paid attention anyway.

We had history first today. Our school ran on a variable schedule. It basically meant our classes rotated and changed depending on the day. They said they did this so that people like athletes and those in clubs wouldn’t miss out as much. They also said it made us smarter somehow and that it prepared us for life.

I think it was all made up, but I didn’t mind it too much. It was better than doing the same thing at the same time everyday.

We walked into Mr. Quigley’s class and grabbed our seats.
