I'm sorry for the all un-details of Language Arts class, but there was nothing that could really fit in the story that I could fit there. Oh well. And now for what you've all been waiting for… THE NEXT CHAPTER!
Chapter 3: Good Day, to Bad Day, to Worse. Part 2
Tori walked out of the locker room and got her stuff from her locker for Language Arts. She walked into the classroom, and before she knew it, the bell for the class to be over rung. Tori strode to her locker from her Language Arts, which went pretty well, and mindlessly turned the lock through her combination. She smiled as Dustin walked to his locker, which was right next to hers, and put in his combination. "Did you see Kapri's face? It was totally swollen, dude!" Dustin exclaimed to Tori, his face brightened with happiness. Tori's smile grew, "Yeah! Kind of serves her right though, after all her antics with me. About time I got revenge." Dustin smiled, "Yeah." Tori got her stuff for Social Studies and Science, since both classes were on the third floor, and closed her locker. "Well, I better get going. Miss Radel only gives us three minutes to get up there. It's a killer for us with lockers on the first floor…" Tori said, frowning. "Yeah. I have Science first and Mrs. Munson isn't that bad with tardies, but she does get a little pissy," Dustin replied, also frowning. "Well, I guess we better get going, eh Dust?" Dustin just nodded and closed his locker after getting his stuff.
They walked together up the flights of stairs to the third floor, chatting softly to one another and went their separate ways to their classes. Tori walked into Miss Radel's classroom and sat down in her desk getting out the assignment that was due that day. "Shit," Tori swore under her breath, realizing that it wasn't finished. Her school had a strict homework rule: No Homework equals a detention. She bit her lip nervously, knowing that Miss Radel had a temper, a loud one at that. Miss Radel went along the rows of desks and checked everyone's homework, making sure that it was done. She stopped at Tori's desk and scowled at Tori. "You know the punishment Miss Hansen. You will see me after school," the teacher just said, surprisingly calm. Tori just nodded taking out her Social Studies book and getting to work on the overdue assignment, holding back tears, knowing what her parents will do when they find out. Tori worked on the assignment like it was the last thing keeping her alive and suddenly the teacher yelled, "Everything off your desks! That means you Tori!" Tori slightly whimpered and slid her stuff off her desk as the teacher continued yelling, "I don't care that it was your birthday yesterday! You should've got the assignment done!" Tori just kept her big blue eyes on the board, listening to the teacher rant, ignoring the muttering of the other students.
The bell rang for class to be over, and Tori picked up her things and almost dashed out of the classroom. Dustin looked at her with loads of concern in his eyes as she walked past him on his way to Miss Radel's class, and Tori just gave waved her hand in a way that said 'Don't worry about it'. Tori continued to walk to her Science class, as Dustin walked into Miss Radel's classroom. She sat in her spot, which was one of those who were in front, taking out her notes from yesterday. Tori groaned as she saw that they weren't done either, she had missed a word. Tori slanted up her notebook so that only she could see what was on the page, and listened to Mrs. Munson speaking. Luckily Mrs. Munson didn't call on her to read the definition of one of the words. Mrs. Munson went on calling on people to answer questions off a worksheet that was also due that day, which Tori got done, luckily.
Tori grinned a few minutes later as the bell rang for lunch as she got together her stuff and left to her locker on first floor. She put her stuff in her locker after successfully opening it, and closed it. She leaned on her locker staring at the ground waiting for Dustin to get to his locker. She almost fell over from fear and surprise when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Tori looked to who tapped her and smiled, seeing that it was Dustin. She watched him turn the lock on his locker and put his stuff into his locker, her mind drifting away from the present time and place. Tori snapped back from her drifting thoughts to the loud sound of a locker slamming shut. Dustin grinned slightly at her jumping. "Dude, what's wrong? I've caught you daydreaming twice already," Dustin asked, starting to walk toward the lunch line. Tori followed close beside him and sighed, "I have detention tonight." Dustin slightly raised his eyebrow, stepping into the lunch line, "Radel?" Tori groaned and nodded, stepping behind him. Dustin groaned also, "I never did like that… well… teacher." Tori raised her eyebrow, thinking that he was going to call her a bitch.
They took their food and walked to a half-empty table and sat at the end. Tori picked at her mashed potatoes and dry Salisbury steak and shook her head, "Damn lunch food." She looked to Dustin and made a face at him practically gulping down all his food. Dustin looked up and asked, "What? I'm hungry! I didn't eat anything last night." Tori raised her eyebrow and drank her milk, "Ready to go?" Dustin nodded finishing his steak and got up, following Tori to the trash cans. Tori dumped her trash into the trashcan and smiled at the lunch lady, who smiled back. When they got to the door to go outside for their only recess, Blake Bradley stopped them. Dustin narrowed his chocolate-colored eyes at Blake and scowled, "What do you want?" Blake just scowled back, and so did his brother Hunter, whom was behind him. Blake turned to Tori and asked in an almost soothing voice, "Hey Tori… Why don't you come hang with us… clean folk today," empathizing 'clean', looking at the motorcross fanatic next to Tori.
Dustin scowled again and Tori almost squealed. "YES! I mean… yeah sure." Dustin just stood there watching Tori walk off with the Bradleys and sighed. What did Blake have that he didn't? He found himself asking himself a lot of questions like this as he trudged to the playground with his hands buried in his jean pockets. After a few minutes of leaning against the fence, glaring in Blake's direction, the bell rang to go inside. Dustin made sure that he was away from Blake and Tori, who were laughing and smiling at each other, as he got his stuff and went to math class. He sat in his seat in the upper corner of the room and silently doodled on his homework, not noticing when Tori and Blake entered the room and sat in their seats that were, unfortunant to Dustin, right next to each other. Dustin scowled again as Tori and Blake whispered and laughed to each other. Lord will he be happy when the day is over.
Dustin was thrilled when the bell rang to go home as he sat in study hall, mindlessly doodling in his notebook. He dashed out the door and to his locker, rushing to get his stuff. Dustin softly banged his head against his locker door as Tori walked to him. "Dustin, what's wrong? We barely talked after lunch," Tori asked him, obviously concerned. 'Oh. You actually noticed? I thought you were too busy with Blake. All that giggling and chattering you were doing didn't seem like you missed me much...' Dustin put on a fake smile, "Nothing, just wiped." Tori nodded to him and got her stuff, "Well, I guess I'll see you later, since I have detention with a dragon named Radel." Dustin was tempted to snicker, but he held it in, "Alright. See you later." Tori nodded again and made her way to Miss Radel's room, leaving a slightly pissed off Dustin.
Tori almost pranced into her room after her detention and quickly got her cell phone and dialed in a number. A slightly faint and drowsy voice answered, "Hello?" "Dustin! The most wonderful thing happened!" 'What, Blake got ran over by some drunk in a Pepsi Truck?' Dustin's mouth dropped as Tori practically squealed into the phone, "Blake Bradley asked me out! Turns out that he had detention too, and when our detentions were over, he asked me!!" Dustin was silent for a moment and said calmly, "What did you say?" "I said yes! I'm so happy!" "Yeah, me too…" Tori didn't notice the slight unhappiness in his voice as she squealed happily into the phone. Tori finally stopped then said, "Well, I got to go. My parents are calling." Dustin just mutter an 'okay, bye' into the phone then hung up before Tori said anything else. He fell onto his bed, face-first into his faded yellow pillow, and screamed with all his might.
Tori skipped downstairs to where her parents were, and was instructed to sit down. She did as she was told and listened to her parents. "Uh… honey… I'm not sure how to say this… but…" Tori's mother stuttered. Tori's dad stated in a strong voice, annoyed, "Your mom and I are getting a divorce." Tori thought her heart had fallen and broke in her stomach as if it were made of glass and she dashed upstairs and into her room. She fell onto her bed and cried, eventually falling asleep still in her clothes she wore to school.
