"Cecelia?"
I look up from my paper. Ms. Amina is staring at me. She's our substitute while Ms. Jay is on maternity leave. "Yes, Ms. Amina?" I ask. She waves me up to her desk.
"Let's take a walk, shall we?" I nod and she leads me out of the classroom, telling the rest of the class to continue working. We walk silently down the empty hallway to the front door of the school. Ms. Amina opens the door and gestures for me to step outside. Why is she doing this? Am I in trouble?"
"Ms. Amina, if this is about that essay I didn't finish, I'm really sorry." I'm not exactly sure what essay I'm apologizing for. I haven't done almost any of the assignments this year. "I'm ADHD something fierce, and-" no, I should reword that. My friends and I say 'something fierce' whenver we're describing something. "I mean-"
She laughs. "No, I'm not talking about an assignment. I just needed to talk to you. Your mother told me you got a call from your father yesterday?"
I nod slowly. He called my cell phone, and I have no idea how he got my number. He just asked me how school was and about my friends and stuff, like it was totally normal. Like he hadn't left my mother as soon as she found out she was pregnant. He also said he wanted to meet me. I hung up on him.
"You're eleven, right?" I nod. "Well, I just wanted to talk to you. You're special, you know? A little more special then nessacary." She flares her nostrils a few times. Um, okay, this is weird. I just keep nodding and backing towards the door. She grabs my shoulder. "Stay after school with me today, hm? Just take the late bus." Then she just walks inside like nothing just happened.
What did just happen?
Yeah, this is short, but I, personally, think it's a good beginning :) Please review, and give me some ideas for the next chapter! I'll probably update nonstop as soon as I get start on the drama- cliff hanger stuff. REVIEW!
