Part seven

I walked in the hot spring day, dressed in the cloths I always wear along with a cover of sweat. My cloths stuck to my body and my hair clung to my head. My eyes drooped farther down my eyes due to the lack of sleep. I mussels burned from the heavy work. I had to clean the whole house and then fix the yard that was once filled with buds and cans. I had blisters on my finders and toes and my back felt torn. I ran out of tears a while ago.

I reached the parking lot of school, my escape, in what felt like hours. The late bell rung like a gun threw my ears. I would have run but my feet were too sore and I was tired. I passed only a few people in the dull tan halls. I got to the door that would lead to my death, I slowly lifted my arm to the door handle and laid it there for a minuet. Should I go in? The longer I wait the worse it will be. I leaned against the door and listened to what was being said.

"Mr. Mason." I heard. Ahh, so he was here and Mr. teacher who's name I cant remember, was calling role. I opened the door and stepped into the classroom. I feared that I get into trouble, but that was the least of my concern. Every eye was on my ruby face. It burned my face. I looked at the poorly tied lace that hung from my shoe. "Miss Swan please take your seat." the teacher said. I could feel the glares stabbing my back as I walked to my seat next to Edward. He smiled at me and I ducked behind my hoodie.

"you going to say hi?" he asked as soon as I sat.

"Nope" I said popping the 'p', not looking at him.

"That's rude you know." he said in a matter-of-fact tone.

I ignored him. This was the first time he has talked to me in weeks and I was torn again. I knew it was wrong to want to talk to him but at the same time I needed him like air and it confused me because I did not even know Edward Mason. I felt like banging my head on a desk. "are you okay?" I heard his voice again. I clinched my fist and clinched my jaw. I felt bad. I opened my mouth to apologize when my name was called on the over head speaker. I froze in horror.
