Who Are You ?
Chapter
Ten
There comes a time where you just want to
forget about someone. You want your mind to clear his eyes out of
your head and his voice out of your ears. I wanted to forget
everything about Bryson, but I couldn’t. For years, I have
been keeping his voice locked in my ears and his picture tattooed
to my eyes. But this was a new year, a new me. It is time to
forget about the people that never gave you the time of
day.
Ding. Ding. Ding.
Good morning. Thank you for the wait. You can now proceed to
first period.
The hallway exploded into a stampede. Kids
poured out of their classrooms like water from a faucet.
“So where is your first class?” Jake questioned,
looking down at his paper. I looked through my purse until I
found a folded up piece of paper and opened it.
“Hmm, let’s see. Room 216. What
about your first class?” I was hoping that it would be
close to mine, just so that we could walk together.
He didn’t look up at me. His eyes were
glued to the piece of paper. “52,” he said
hastily.
“Oh…” There was a lump forming in my throat.
It was the stupidest thing to get upset over with, but it meant
so much to me.
“Well it isn’t like we have no classes
together,” He always tried to cheer me
up.
“This is true,” I said with a smile. We
stood up and walked into the crazy hallways. It was an impossible
maze. Some students were asking teachers where their classes
were. Others were changing direction every few seconds. I was
just looking for the stairs.
“So this is my class,” I must have
blanked out for a few minutes. I didn’t realize we walked
that far. Upset, I said goodbye and started walking the hallways
alone.
I already
wanted to leave school. I had no one to walk with, no one to talk
to. I was anxious, though, wanting to see who was in my next
class. Also, I wanted to know if anyone could recognize me. This
was a huge change for my looks and my
confidence.
