then.” Becky said.
    They both said
their goodbyes and then they were gone. I turned around to walk to
my own class when it seemed that all the students in the entire
school had descended into the hallways. More students came in and
out of door ways, some of them pushing and knocking into me without
a single sorry. I held onto myself while the pain flowed though my
beaten body. I tried to push against them to get to my lesson. It
was no use, I was not getting passed. Quickly I jumped into a small
corner to avoid the crowd. My forehead began to sweat. I swiped at
the beads of sweat and peeked out to see the tide of
students.
    I can do
this. I thought to
myself.
    Deciding to stay
until I could more freely. Again I looked around the corner and saw
only a few handful of students left. I made a break for it and
quickly walked to my class.
    My first class of
the day was science with Mrs Donavan. I walked through the doors
and saw her standing around her desk. Mrs Donavan began to write
todays lesson on the board. Today she wore another comfortable
cardigan along with a lose pair of brown trowsers. I sat at my
normal seat next to Leah. As I sat down she didn’t even acknowledge
me.
    I grabbed my books
out of my bag and waited for Mrs Donavan to start. She turned
around to face the class. Slowly she scanned around the room and
her eyes met mine. She gave me a tiny smile and began to talk to
the class. I tried to smile back at her but could not. Todays
lesson was about photosynsisthis. Just thinking about that word
made my brain hurt. Was that the thing about the plants or
something. I placed my hand to my forehead, thinking more about it
made it worse.
    I ignored my brain
and just listened to Mrs Donavan instead. Some of the notes I jotted down were quite useful. As I
was writing more I prayed that my pen would not run out like last
time. Leah next to me did not look like she was in the mood. (Was
she ever in the mood?). I didn’t need friends like her anyway I had
Lilly and Becky. Just thinking about them made me smile a little,
then, my smile slipped.
    Were
they just my friends because they knew I was some sort of freak,
did they place bets to see how long they could fool me? I thought.
    No. They wouldn’t
do that and It was stupid of me to think that, we are best friends.
Been best friends for many years. I would do anything for them and
I hoped that they would do anything for me too. I began to space
out while thinking of them. I mentally shook myself and got back to
the lesson. I stretched my cramped hand to relive my aching
muscles. Finally finished writing what was on the board. (God Mrs
Donavan did like to write a lot), I placed my pen down only to hear
the buzzer. (Thank god). Throwing my stuff into my bag, I quickly
walked to my next lesson, English.
    Around the corner I
nearly ran into Becky, who was smiling at me.
    “ I came to escort
you my lady.” She said as Becky did a low bow.
    I gave a little
chuckle. “Come on ya’ werirdo.” I laughed.
    We both walked down
the hall and down to the stairs to our English class.
    We both arrived at
Mr Thomas’s class. I’d forgotten how good looking he was since I
was away, but sadly he was too old for me and of course my teacher,
totally against the rules. We entered the class, and somehow
knowing it was me, he spun around and met my eyes. Mr. Thomas had a
sympathetic look on his face.
    “ I’m so sorry to
hear about your aunt Ellie,” He said softly. “How are
you?”
    I was getting a
little sick of people asking that question. I know they just want
to see if I was ok, but slowly, I just wanted to scream, and run
away.
    “ Um I’m okay just a
few cuts and bruses, that’s all.” I tried to keep my voice steady,
trying not to show how a complete wreak I was. “H-how did you
know?” I asked.
    “ It was on the
news.” He said.
    Great, did everyone
watch the news? I left the conversation there and sat next to
Becky. Mr Thomas cleared his throat, and as usual the
