words do hurt

Chapter 11

I burst out into laughter as she said those words.
"You care? If you cared then you wouldn't call me a freak on Facebook." I hissed, preparing to storm off.
"Wait Christina, please." she said softly, and I could tell her voice was cracking.
"Why should I?" I muttered lowly.
"I'm sorry that I've been so rude to you lately! I just went to the doctor this morning, and he said that I got some of my memory back. Plus, he told me that you were by my side while I was in the hospital."
"All true things." I commented, still grumpy.
"Can we just start over and be friends now?" she asked, giving me the puppy-eyed look.
I looked at her longingly, pursing my lips as if I had just licked a sour lemon.
Just as I was about to answer, Tiffany just had to walk out of the classroom and interrupt us.
"What are you doing here?" Tiffany asked, glaring at Maria.
"Umm, my teacher told me to come here, because we heard a lot of yelling." she lied, standing there, with nervousness across her face.
"Oh, I have to go to the stupid office because of Christina here." Tiffany growled, turning to me.
"You're the one saying I smoked in the bathroom." I spat.
She rolled her eyes while she examined her nails. "It's not like anybody was going to believe you."
I heard a small laugh from Maria, and I couldn't tell if she was laughing at me, or with me.
"Let's get to the office, shall we?" I grumbled, walking away.
{X} {x} {X}
"I can't believe I had to leave work for this." my mother spatted, on the ride home.
"It wasn't my fault." I complained.
"Oh, it wasn't?" she started off. "If it wasn't your fault, then why did your principal request to have a little chat with me that lasted more than an hour long?"
"I don't know." I mumbled.
"Ugh, you're grounded for a month. No T.V, no hanging out with friends, no cell phone, and I'm taking your MacBook away." she scolded, turning into our driveway.
"What?!" I exclaimed. "You can take away my television and social life, but not my laptop!"
"You should have thought about that before you got sent to the principal's office." she muttered, pushing me into the house.
"I don't believe this. I'm being punished for something I didn't even do!" I snarled.
"You gotta deal with it then, because you don't always get everything you want in life."
