I woke up
Tuesday morning with a nauseating headache while my alarm clock
flashed 7:40. Crap, school starts in 15 minutes and it takes
a full 8 minutes to drive there. I realized I couldn't
take a shower, so I quickly applied a thick line of eyeliner on my
upperlashes and smeared some powder on my face as well. Then,
I put on an old tea-shirt and jeans. I looked in the mirror
in disaproval of the ugly person I saw in front of me, but it had
to do. I have honestly never thought of myself beautiful, and
it doesn't help my self-esteem when people constantly tell me
how hideous I am.
I got to school right on time,
though I still had to rush to my locker and get my English books.
I ended up running into class at exactly 7:55, right when the
bells rang. I sighed in relief as I took my seat besides my
best friend Fi. Oh gosh, she was beautiful. Her baby
blue eyes resembled an ocean of blue and her smile was perfectly
straight and white. Her wavy, brown hair cascaded down her
back to her belly button. Gosh, it sucks to have beautiful
friends.
"How is How to Kill a
Mockingbird going class?" Brian, or uhm, Mr. Johnson as
his class was supposed to call him, interupted my thoughts.
We all gave a groan back to tell him bluntly, we hated it.
"Well class, You will be tested on this book next
friday. The test will be difficult, so I have paired you up
with parteners to study with during class." Brian posts
the paper of parteners on the board and says we can look at it
after class. I was praying I would end up with Fi...I mean,
Brians my cousin, he should be looking out for me, right? My
eyes strained to look at the list, but no matter how I tried, i
just couldn't see it.
I waited all class period in
anxiousness because who your paired up with could either guarantee
your success, or assure your failure. Finally, Brian
announced those precious words that I have been waiting for this
past hour, "You're dissmissed." I ran to the
board and looked in horror. This had to be a mistake.
How could Brian do this to me? I was paired with Jake
Smith, the school jock, the jerk that got every girl to fall at his
feet. I was paired up with a boy with blonde hair, blue eyes
and the sweetest dimples. I could not fall into his trap
again, he will destroy me.
