words do hurt
Chapter 3
"So does this mean we're friends again?" I asked with a small smile as I heard constant car honking outside, and it was Maria parked right outside of my house.
"What do you think? Now get your butt in the car." she grinned, as I sat in the front passenger seat. "Where are we going?" I questioned, as she drove the exact opposite way from the school.
"Starbucks, I woke up extra early just to give you a ride." she muttered, while I let out a small snicker.
I entered the mini room right near a supermarket, my nose filled with the delightful scents that made me feel warm on the inside.
Maria ordered an eggnog latte, while I just had to get the hazelnut hot chocolate that was practically begging my nose to get, along with a plain bagel.
"It's on me." I smiled, handing the cashier with fiery red hair a crisp $20 dollar bill.
We soon got back in the car and headed towards school, but it was too late to try to beat the morning traffic, as cars were lined up, trying to get into the parking lot.
"Cr/p, this is going to waste my gas!" Maria groaned, hitting the car horn repeatedly.
"Whatever, I'm taking a shortcut." she mumbled, turning to the empty lane that was going the opposite way, accelerating towards the school.
"What are you doing, you're going to get us in trouble!" I hissed, looking at her like she was some psycho.
"It's better than sitting back there and doing nothing!" she shouted, her voice gobbled up in all the radio blasts and the car honks.
"We're going to get pulled over, and you're probably going to get your car taken away!" I whispered lowly, looking ahead to see if I could see a car coming out from a corner.
"Take a chill pill, I wouldn't have gotten my license if I didn't know what I was doing." she said.
I took a deep breath and sipped my hot chocolate, trying to calm down.
I guess everybody was stuck at the school parking lot, so there won't be anyone driving in the lane for quite a while.
"I guess it's better than being back there." I murmured softly.
"See, we're almost there!" she assured me, rolling up the windows as snowflakes began to lightly dance elegantly in the air.
I nodded, as a light flashed from my right side of the car.
"Maria, watch out!" I shrieked, taking control of the wheel as we were about to collide into another car.
The car swerved crookedly, as we ran into something hard enough to crush the front rear.
"Are you okay Christina?" Maria panted heavily.
I opened my mouth to answer, but the airbag managed to explode into my face.
I felt my eyes hallucinating as I heard sirens and engines, not knowing if the sounds were actually there or if they were in my head.
"Are you girls okay?" a responder asked, popping the airbags that were on top of us, giving us room to inhale and exhale normally.
"Ermm, uh, agabahh." Maria mumbled, her eyes swirling around.
I knew for a fact that Maria has a big case of motion sickness, so this obviously made her want to hurl, and I was right, since she vomited on the person that was carrying her out of the car.
"Are you okay miss?" a man in a hospital uniform asked, feeling my head.
"We have to get you to an emergency room, to see if you have a concussion or not." he shouted, putting his arm around me, dragging me out, since part of the car roof was dented.
That was the last I remembered before closing my eyes.
