Hear my cries.
chapter 4 // crazylifelover
I woke up Tuesday morning with a nauseating headache while my alarm clock flashed 7:40. Crap, school starts in 15 minutes and it takes a full 8 minutes to drive there. I realized I couldn't take a shower, so I quickly applied a thick line of eyeliner on my upperlashes and smeared some powder on my face as well. Then, I put on an old tea-shirt and jeans. I looked in the mirror in disaproval of the ugly person I saw in front of me, but it had to do. I have honestly never thought of myself beautiful, and it doesn't help my self-esteem when people constantly tell me how hideous I am.
I got to school right on time, though I still had to rush to my locker and get my English books. I ended up running into class at exactly 7:55, right when the bells rang. I sighed in relief as I took my seat besides my best friend Fi. Oh gosh, she was beautiful. Her baby blue eyes resembled an ocean of blue and her smile was perfectly straight and white. Her wavy, brown hair cascaded down her back to her belly button. Gosh, it sucks to have beautiful friends.
"How is How to Kill a Mockingbird going class?" Brian, or uhm, Mr. Johnson as his class was supposed to call him, interupted my thoughts. We all gave a groan back to tell him bluntly, we hated it. "Well class, You will be tested on this book next friday. The test will be difficult, so I have paired you up with parteners to study with during class." Brian posts the paper of parteners on the board and says we can look at it after class. I was praying I would end up with Fi...I mean, Brians my cousin, he should be looking out for me, right? My eyes strained to look at the list, but no matter how I tried, i just couldn't see it.
I waited all class period in anxiousness because who your paired up with could either guarantee your success, or assure your failure. Finally, Brian announced those precious words that I have been waiting for this past hour, "You're dissmissed." I ran to the board and looked in horror. This had to be a mistake. How could Brian do this to me? I was paired with Jake Smith, the school jock, the jerk that got every girl to fall at his feet. I was paired up with a boy with blonde hair, blue eyes and the sweetest dimples. I could not fall into his trap again, he will destroy me.
