"Paige are you OK?" It was another new day, Paige was in English class staring out the window with a saddened look on her face. "I'm fine" She replied to Marco, then turned back to look out the window. "you seem out of it" "I'm fine" She repeated again firmly. "Alright" She looked down at her arm, there were three little cuts, she touched them with her fingers and sighed.
"Paige, a seventy six" "seventy six?" Paige picked up her test that the teacher had handed back. "But I studied for like two hours..why did I get a seventy six?" "You did good on the first few questions but you made a bunch of careless mistakes on the vocabulary" "you've got to be kidding me" Paige said under her breath while staring at all the red x's on her paper. "it's ok Paige we'll take like a million other tests this year" Marco commented with a smile.
"Yeah and I bet I'll do just as sucky on those ones" Paige's hand shot up into the air suddenly. "Yes Paige?" The teacher asked while writing down grades in her gradebook. "Can I go to the washroom?" The teacher nodded her head and Paige walked quickly into the nearest one. "Stupid test, stupid parents, stupid homework" She mumbled while digging through her pocketbook. She had forgotten her scissors, but the closest thing was her eyelash curler. She pulled it out and went into a stall. "Ow.." She winced while cutting in as deep as she could.
"Paige?" Paige looked down and saw someone's feet peeking through the stall next to her. "Oh uhh.." She couldn't tell who it was. "It's Liberty" "Oh hey uh Liberty" Paige put back the eyelash curler and cleaned off her arm, then went back over to the sinks. "How are you?" Liberty asked with a smile. "good I uh..I gotta go now I uh.." Paige cut herself off with a smile, then left. "Bye?"
"Paige! Oh my god I got an eighty on the test!" Marco frowned. "this will pull down my grade like a thousand points!" "Marco you told me not to worry and I got four points lower then you!" "Well how can I not worry! I just told you that so you could calm down but Me? but I don't know oh this is great this is great!" "Oh my god Look Paige I think I got this one right but the teacher marked it wrong!" Marco grabbed Paige's wrist and shook it. "Ow marco! don't do that!" Paige hit Marco and he looked at his fingers. "Paige your bleeding.."
