"We'll meet outside at the usual place during lunch." Ordered Janet. We all nodded in agreement to her plan and then separated from each other to our own pods. There were 4 pods for 4 teams, The Eagles, Navigators, Gladiators, and lastly the Hot Shot Cobras. Each student was assigned a team by how smart or dumb you were. I was on the Eagles (the middle group) along with Janet. Alyssa, Scottie and Blake are on the Hot Shot Cobras (the lowest group.)
When Janet and I reached our lockers (which were only two classrooms away from each other). I shoved my stuff in my locker grabbed my things for Science and Math and a cigarette and headed to the girls bathroom. As soon as I opened the door I saw that both Alyssa and Janet were already filling the bathroom with smoke. I shut the door and held my cigarette out to Alyssa, the one with the lighter
"Glad you could make it Paige!" said Alyssa blowing a circle of smoke my way. I nodded as she light me cigarette to life. I stuck it in my mouth and leaned against the door.
"Hey Paige why don't you talk?" asked Alyssa. Her words caught me off guard making me stop short. Everyone today seemed to be asking me that question. And honestly it was starting to piss me off. But I answered her, mentally. I don't speak because no words can express how I feel inside. Words seem pointless to me. And no one will ever understand my pain and suffering through words. Unless they can read my thoughts they will never understand. "Honestly Paige it’s not healthy." Alyssa's voice shattered my mental answer. I glared at her and she shut up. We all stayed silent and smoked our cigarettes. I dropped the butt of the cigarette on the ground and crushed it with my foot. I gave Janet a look and she said "We better go" for me. "Fine. I guess, we'll t- uh see ya later Paige." I knew Alyssa was going to say that we were going to talk later but she knew it wasn't true. I nodded and we all left together. Janet and I had a lot of classes together so while Alyssa had Social Studies Janet and I had Science.
When we walked into class Mrs. Fosters gave us a cold glare that could slash through steel. I took a seat at the far end left corner at the back of the room while Janet sat in the center of the room. I slid into the seat and slowly put my text book on my desk. Then I conked out
Words are meaningless.
For they cannot express emotions fully.
Words are empty and can be lies.
