I really didn’t want to
be in school. I really didn’t want to be sitting next to some
boy who couldn’t keep his mouth shut and a girl who looked
like she wanted to punch my face. I didn’t want to be in this
cold desk listening to Mr. Reilly talk about his childhood and Much
ado about Nothing. I didn’t want to afterwards to go my
locker were two people would be making out on top of it. And I
didn’t want to then proceed to go to yet another class where
I wanted to kill myself. I really didn’t want to be in
school.
It was sad to think it wasn’t always this way. I mean I even
liked going to school at one point, but now it sucked. It sucks so
bad that even going to sleep knowing in the morning I would be
going to school made it so I wouldn’t want to sleep. And the
thing is, I’m stuck here for another 2 and half years. Stuck
in a dead end town. Stuck in the same routine everyday. Stuck with
no way out.
I laid my head down on my desk to face the smart board. I swore we
had seen this slip before, but that didn’t stop Mr. Reilly. I
looked down at my jeans. There was a small stain in the left hand
pocket from when I spilled sauce on them two months ago. There was
also a small hole in the bottom of the pocket were I had accidently
ran into a lab desk to hard and fast. As I examined my jeans over
and over, I felt a tap on my elbow.
“Yes?” I asked in a calm tone.
“You liking the battle scene right here?” Jake
asked.
I rolled my eyes. Jake was a kid who I used to have a massive crush
on two years ago. But now I really despised him. Not because he was
f***ing my best friend, but the fact that he insists on pretending
to be my friend because of it. He was one of those football stars
that everyone loved. I just found him annoying and foolish.
“Come on Callie, this is interesting right!?” He said
again more sarcastic this time.
Just smiling I put my head back down on my desk and closed my eyes.
But there it was again, the tap on my elbow.
“What!?” I said jerking my head up and looking at him
right in the eye. I was staring at him seeing threw his phony
personality and fake smile. His eyes narrowed in on mine.
“Your flies undone.” I looked away from his smirk and
down to my pants. I threw my hands on my desk and looked back at
the clip. “Today’s just gonna be another one of those
days.” I whispered to myself before closing my eyes for the
rest of the class.
