Chapter 3: Who cares, you left first

~*~Who Cares, you Left First~*~

I was late and couldn't stop to look at the messages from Cory. But what if they were important? Oh O can look at them later, I'm going to be really late now! I went to get a ride from my mom and was at school about ten minutes later. I got out and school h ad already started. I ran to the office to get a late slip so I could hurry to class. When I walked in I looked around, and saw Cory sitting down in his desk and he looked up and smiled at me.

"Well, hello Meagan, how come you are so late?" Mr. Mezmar said as he walked over to me and handed me an assignment.

"I woke up a little late this morning ... I had a hard night and I don't find it necassary to explain myself to you. I'm here now and that's what matters." I said and sat down beyond just pissed.

"Do i hear a hint of attitude in your voice Miss Davids? I can send you to the prinicpal's office if you'd like?" He said knowing the answer, and just went on with the lesson.

After class Cory came up to me. "Hey Meagan. You seemed a little mad in there. Are you ok?" He asked.

"Yeah I guess I am fine. Just woke up a little grumpy. So how have you been lately?" I asked him and he motioned to stop before we got into our next classrooom.

"Did you get my messages on your cell phone? I am too afraid to say them face to face ... just listen to my messages and you'll see." Cory said and walked into the classroom.

'Ok.' I thought to myself. I got out my cell phone and was getting to my messages when the stupid jocks came by and knocked it out of my hands. The phone dropped on the ground and shattered. "Oh man! Meagan, I'm sorry. But I gotta get to class. I'm real sorry." Said one of the football players.

I walkde into my class pretty upset, because now I will never know what those two messages from Cory said. 'What could he be trying to tell me?' I thought to myself and then sat down.

This was on my mind all day, at lunch Cory came up to me again and asked if I had got the messages. "No, I'm sorry. I was about to listen to them, but one of the football players knocked it out of my hand while running to class. The phone broke into pieces and I can't get them now. Why don't you just tell me?" I asked him, practically begging for him to let me know.

"I would but it's really embarrassing. You know, maybe this is a sign. You aren't supposed to know." Cory said trying to be all sophisticated.

"Maybe I am supposed to know and this is your chance to tell me. So come one... just let me know." I said and gave him the puppy-dog look.

"I gotta go get something to eat. I will think about this. See you in a few. Ok?" He said and went off to get some food.

"Hey Meagan!! Come eat lunch with us. Now that Cory's gone there's nothing that can stop us from catching up, right?" My friend Amanda asked.

"Yeah I guess." So I walked over to their little group under the eaves and we sat and talked until Cory came back and then I went with him to the football field to eat lunch. "That took longer than I expected. You left me there talking to Amanda." I said kidding around.

'Haha! Sorry the lines were a little longer than usual. And besides, you can't completely hate me. I got you lunch, and I payed for it too." He reminded me and we laughed.

"Yeah I guess you are right. Thanks. So ... what are you doing tomorrow? It's the weekend and I was thinking we could do something." I said probably bringing up a sensative subject.

"Well I don't know. My aunt hasn't told me of anything that we are doing, so I'm probably free for tomorrow." Cory answered and then the bell rang so we went off and got to our class.

School was over and so Cory and I were walking home. It was silent the whole way there, then we reached my house we said goodbye Those were the only words we spoke to each other.

I walked into my house and told my mom I might have plans for tomorrow with Cory. "Ok, but I need to talk to you about something Meagan. Why don't you come sit down with me at the table." She said and I walked into the kitchen to sit down with my mom.

"Yeah mom, what do you want to talk about?" I asked wondering if I was in trouble in any kind of way.

"I got a call from you r father today. He said he was going to come by and visit for a while. I told him it would be fine, but I wasn't sure if you would be as open about the idea. He said he was coming tomorrow. Now I know you have plans with your little friend Cory, but you could at least stay around to see your dad for an hour or so right?" She explained to me and asked for my opinion.

"Why would I stay around for him when he couldn't stay around for me? I have plans tomorrow, if he wants to stay extra time I will see if I can fit him into my schedule for this weekend. I'm surprised he bothered calling." I said and ran upto my room.

The next morning I called Cory at about 11 o'clock or so and we talked for a while, then I got ready to go to the beach with Cory, we were going to spend the whole weekend there. Just relaxing and swimming, surfing, shopping and so much more. Just the two of us.

The doorbell rang and I ran downstairs with my bag. I opened the door expecting Cory, but instead it was my dad. "Meagan, is that you? You have gotten so big. Goodness you are all grown up." He said and went to hug me, but i pulled away and opened the door wider so he could fit his luggage inside. "Where's your mom?"

I pointed upstairs and so he called her name. I told him I had to go and the doorbell rang again. I answered it and and this time it was Cory. "Hey!" I said all excited about going.

"Hey are you ready?" He asked impatiently. He didn't have a real driver's liscence, but he could drive himself around, so he was hoping we wouldn't get pulled over.

"Yeah I'm ready, just need to say bye to my mom ... and I guess my dad." I said and Cory looked into the house and saw my father standing there.

"Hi, I'm Meagan's dad." He said and walked over to Cory and shook his hand. "That's a nice handshake you have there."

"Thank you Mr. Daivds." Cory replied to the compliment, and dropped Mr. Davids hand. I came back downstairs and was ready to go.

"Bye dad. I guess I will see you when I get back, if you are here." I said and was half way out the door when he had to say something.

"You are leaving? I just got here. I don't think that it is right for you to just leave your dad like that Meagan." He said in a stern voice, getting angry.

"Well I don't think it's right to leave your daughter at the age of 3, but I didn't stop you. Good-bye dad." And I left with Cory after that.

We were about two hours into our trip and then our car broke down ... in the middle of nowhere. We were stuck there for a while, still we saw nobody to help us. "Meagan, I don't think we are going anywhere soon .. and it's getting dark, we should get the car offroad and camp out around here." Cory suggested.

"Ok, you're right." I said agreeing with him, and we started pushing the car over to the side which was pretty well hidden from the road. And from there we made a camping spot.
