Chapter 19

A Chapter by Dr.Who.LOVER

Chapter 19 in "Silent."

After spending the remaining lunch period crying in the bathroom I emerged and fell into the crowd of passing kids. I was hurt and I felt like I wanted to crawl under a rock and die. All I had to do was last through Social Studies and then I could talk to Ms. Vanegan. As Social Studies dragged on images of Lisa and Travis making out flashed through my mind like a movie. To see how Lisa’s light blonde hair fit with his. How her small hour glass figure fit with his lean body like two puzzle pieces.

“Paige!” Janet’s voice broke my trance. I looked around and saw that the class was deserted.

“Time to go.” confirmed Janet. As I sat down into English I couldn’t help notice Arianna starring at me, with a smug look on her face. The words ‘I warned you’ were tattooed across her face. I wanted to leap across the room with the ferocity of an enraged lion and tear her to shreds.

Ms. Vanegan plopped my journal on my desk. Immediately I opened to a new page and began to write angrily on the page.

Dear Ms. Vanegan,

I really need your help. I saw…something I wasn’t suppose to see. I saw a guy I liked kissing someone else. But is it right for me to be freaking like this? I mean it’s not like I’m dating him. What should I do?!? Do I ignore him?

-Paige

I walked up to her desk and turned in my journal. Immediately she dropped whatever she was doing and picked up my journal. Finally came her response:

To answer your question no I don’t think you should ignore whoever this boy is. Try talking to him about it. When I was your age-oh god now I sound old-anyway I too was crushing on a boy. Love is confusing huh. Well like I said talk to him and remember, I’m always here.

The bell rang and everyone rushed to get to their lockers. But for once I lingered back.
