School, Again
I parked my car carefully, grabbed my bag and got out. Gemma and Erin, two of my three best friends were waiting for me, by Gemma’s car.
“Bella, hey!” the girls called, waving.
“Where’s Nicole?” I asked, this was unlike Nicole, she was normally first here.
“She called me last night, she’s got the flu” Erin replied.
“Yeah, she was coughing a lot, yesterday” Gemma added. Isn’t that weird I hadn’t noticed Nicole being sick at all.
“Ding, ding, ding” “Oh, come on, let’s all have fun in history!” Erin laughed sarcastically. We all walked to our lockers.
“That was so boring, I nearly fell asleep” Gemma said yawning.
“How can a class called History, not be boring?” Erin asked, raising an eyebrow.
They both looked at me. I hadn’t said much all morning, I had other stuff on my mind, it wasn’t even important stuff, but it was still on my mind, all the same.
“Bella, are you okay? Don’t tell me you have the flu too?” Gemma asked.
“Umm nah, I’m alright, just a bit tired, you know” I replied.
“Oh, yeah, ok” the girls agreed.
The bell rang “Ahh, Maths already!” Erin complained.
“Come on, Bella” Gemma said pulling on my arm.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m coming” I yawned, getting up.
We got our books out of our lockers.
“Bye girls, have fun!” Erin said walking off with Cara. Erin didn’t have Maths with us, she normally walked with Nicole, but Cara was next best.
Maths was a drag, long and boring.
“Finally” Gemma said when the bell rang.
“I’m starving” Erin added, now walking beside us.
“Yeah, me too” I agreed, realising I hadn’t eaten much after my eggs in the morning.
We were sitting at lunch, they were talking about something boring I kind of zoned out, thinking my own thoughts again.
“Oh that’s my favourite episode! Which is your favourite Bella?” I heard Erin say faintly, but I still ignored it.
“Bella?” Gemma asked, I didn’t even know what they were talking about.
“Oh, she’s day dreaming!” Erin realised
“About a boy?” Gemma asked, saying ‘oy’ a lot longer than needed.
“hmm, seems so, she’s looking at Luke!” Erin said with surprise.
“Luke is Nicole’s! She’ll freak!” Gemma replied, happy about the false goss.
I just realised what they were saying, Luke EW no! Nicole can have him! I’m wasn’t the slightest bit interested in Luke!
“What the hell are you talking about?!” I said a lot louder than intended.
“Welcome back” Gemma laughed.
“We were starting to get worried” Erin continued.
“Luke! Are you joking?” I said trying to lower my voice.
“Yes! We were just seeing if you were still alive! Gees you wouldn’t do that to Nicole!” Gemma explained. Yeah she’s right I wouldn’t do that and it had nothing to do with Nicole! The boy doesn’t wash enough for my standards.
The bell rang. “Yes! One session left” Erin said stretching.
“Come on Luke lover” She laughed.
“Jokes, jokes” She quickly added.
“Yeah, whatever” I said getting up.
“Five, four, three, two, one! Yes!” the bell rang at the same time Gemma said one.
We quickly walked to our lockers. I found it funny how every afternoon as soon as the last bell rang everyone started running at exactly the same time, every night, home time wasn’t special it happened every school day, but it still got exactly the same reaction.
“Bye, Bells” the girls said walking to their cars.
“Bye” I yelled after them.
