Chapter 2

1040 Words
Amanda parks and we quickly run towards the main doors of the school. I'm dreading this just like everyday but I'm giving myself a pep talk so I can go in and just get it over with, "Come on lacey, it's gonna be alright, we will be out of here soon enough" Amanda says cause she knows my anxiety is terrible everyday but it's alot worse when I'm exhausted and sleep deprived. I've also been having a lot of extreme emotions even when I'm not tired, I've been getting extremely angry, sad, frustrated, happy, and even energetic out of nowhere, My highs have been getting way higher and my lows have been getting way lower. The guidance counselor recommends I go to therapy so that I don't end up falling down the same path my mom is on with depression or other mental illnesses. So I have that on my mind too. I snap out of it and bring myself back to current events. "How much of a lecture do you think we are gonna get for being late this time?" I huffed at Amanda. "Ehh it's probably gonna be as excessive as last time, and the time before that, aaaaand the time before that, hopefully we get detention together instead" giggled amanda as she was running ahead of me to grab the door. Fantastic, I sighed and proceeded to walk to the main office to get my tardy slip so I could head to class. Mrs. Martin was a short woman, with round glasses, she had short gray hair that always looks like the curlers were freshly removed and she always had on bright red lipstick. She was glaring at us as we entered the doors "Amanda Jones, Lacy Torres, I honestly can't say that I'm surprised to see you two coming in late again, theres no way you girls are gonna pass with all these attendance issues, looks like ill have to deal with you two next year also. Please dont play around in the hallways, judt get straight to class" she says with a sigh, not even making eye contact with us. Me and Amanda grabbed our tardy slips and head out of the office. I held my heart in a joking way while telling Amanda "I'm actually kinda sad, today seemed more like disappointment than anger" and she laughs as we both prepare to head to different classes. Amanda gives me a small smile and a hug when we are at the point that we split ways "Stand up for yourself lacey, don't let those bitches make you upset. Do what I do and give it back to them, before you know it you will be excited to come to school so you can tell Regina what a snoody b***h she is" Amanda says and I nod and give her a smile also. I knew I wasn't going to do that, but it made Amanda feel better to think that I would. 1st period here I come, and I was dreading walking into this classroom. I wish so badly I could be more like amanda in these situations, I'm not sure if my anxiety holds me back or what it is, I just knew I wasn't as witty and carefree as amanda when she got the disapproving looks or the sly comments from our classmates. Once i finally gathered the courage, I walked in and of course everyone stops and looks at me, Regina in the front row scoffs at me and rolls her eyes "I could have done perfectly fine not seeing your face at all today" she says and some of her minions laugh. Regina was my main tormentor, she had something personal against me because she used every oppurtunity she could to try to attack me in some way, a couple times especially in gym it had actually gotten physical. I ignore her and hand my slip to Mr.Elton, who btw is a complete perv and is not even trying to hide the fact that he's stairing at my boobs right now, he doesn't say anything so I take that as my queue to go sit down. NO f*****g WAY, the only seat left in the entire class is beside Wade, he's like almost 7 ft tall and looks like a linebacker but plays no sports, and he's part of Regina's little friend group, I would call it more like a cult, because this group of kids go everywhere together and show up and leave at the same times and everything, they all also live in the same area and all their parents are super close friends or acquaintances, it's just weird. Wade, Regina, and Jessie are like the crowd leaders I guess. Wade has never been mean to me he just doesnt say much at all. But he does tell regina to knockvit off occasionally when her bullying gets excessive, atleast some of them have a conscious. Jessie is the first guy I've found actually attractive in about 3 years, but my ex messed me up pretty bad, Jessie I'd actually really hot, probably the most gorgeous man ive ever seen actually, and pretty much everyone else in the school would agree too. But I'm clearly not the one to flirt or put myself out there and it seems like I'm always the one the attention is drawn to, for that reason. I even try to wear baggier clothes to cover up my curves and it does no good. I'm thankful he's not in this class because he causes me more problems, his flirtatious attitude towards me causes Regina and the other bimbos to hate me more even though I don't entertain it. There is literally no way I'm gonna pass this class, I didn't hear a word mr.Elton said since I've been here because I've thought about everything under the sun and haven't been listening. I look up at the clock and the bell is gonna ring in 3.....2......1 *Beeeeeeeep* I jump out of my seat as quick as I can and go straight to my locker to grab my things for second period. Unfortunately a large amount of the "cult" was in this class too and I was way outnumbered.
