Chapter 4
Damned for Greatness Pt. 1
For the rest of the day, my mind kept speaking to me, which made no sense. And then I had the most weirdest moments in class. Like every time when my voice started talking I'd yell out "Shut the hell up!" and my teacher would think I was talking to them. I've got detention for a week. After I made it to Eli's house, he asked me what was up. I said nothing and ran up to his room. He followed me up there and said "Ya know this is my room." I sat up from my spot on his bed.
"Sorry. I'll…go downstairs." I said standing up. I quickly walked out before he questioned me again. I ran downstairs and fell on the couch. 'What's wrong, Georgia? Have something to hide?' My inner voice said. I covered my face with a pillow and screamed. 'Why do you keep torturing me?' I thought. 'I'm your inner self. The part that you don't want to get out.' It said back to me. I groaned and thought 'Well quit because I'm never gonna go back to that.' I was starting to get a massive headache. I fell asleep minutes later and woke up two hours later. Eli nudged my shoulder and I smiled waking up.
"Dude, I feel so refreshed. I feel like I wanna run a marathon!" I said giving him a hug, which he stumbled back from.
"Are you okay? You seem…happier all of a sudden." Eli said pulling away. I stared at him before getting a dreamy look in my eyes.
"I gotta go. I'm meeting up someone. But don't worry, I won't do the on the first night." I said giving him a wink before grabbing a shirt, pants and sneakers and running up stairs. I changed fast and ran back down stairs out the door, then ran back inside.
"Hey, can I burrow-"
"NO."
"Ok, ok! Geez." I said running back out.
"Guess I'll just run to The Dot." I said to myself. I ran to The Dot fast and looked around for Gabe outside. He walked up to me from inside and said "Hey. You made it." I nodded and held my stomach.
"Hey I'm hungry so let's eat!" I said grabbing his arm to go inside. He laughed as I took a seat. My mind was soo out of my head that I couldn't even remember what happened during our little get together (I wasn't gonna call it a date if he wasn't). It's like I wasn't even talking…my inner self was. After the date, I had kissed Gabe on the cheek and said "I have to go. My brother's gonna get pissed that I'm even out this late." He nodded and said "We should do this again sometime. How about Saturday?" I smiled and said "It's a date." I walked out of The Dot waving and felt my feet stumbling. 'Oh god.' I thought leaning on a brick wall.
"Hey. I know you. You go to Degrassi right?" I heard someone ask. I looked up and saw Fitz. I started talking, but they were on deaf ears. Before I knew it, we were making out. I had pushed him off and whipped my mouth. He stumbled back. He pushed up against the wall and kissed me harder. I tried to push him away but he wouldn't let go. I punched his stomach and he stumbled into a garbage.
"You're crazy!" he said trying to stand up. I spit out his saliva from mouth and walked away. I checked my phone and it read "11:00 PM." I had 10 missed calls from Eli and 3 from Clare. I walked home, stumbling half the way, punching a few guys that wolf whistled at me and busted a few nuts while I was at it. I'm pretty tough for my 16 year old age. I knocked on the door of the house when I finally made it. Eli opened the door and pulled me inside.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" he yelled at me. I snatched my hand away and walked over to the couch. I sat down as he continued to yell at me, but I just started dozing off. 'What's going on? Why am I acting…so differently? It's like…I'm a completely different person…' I thought. I felt tears start to come to my eyes.
"Ghost…Ghost, don't fall asleep!" Eli yelled and the inside of my head started pounding. I held onto it, trying to make it stop, but it just pounded harder. I let out a blood curling scream and fell to the ground. Eli picked me up and shook me.
"Ghost, what's wrong?" he yelled. I shook my head trying to back away. 'Looks like little Georgia's starting to lose her mind.' My inner voice said. I screamed again. Eli lifted me up and dragged me to Morty. I laid me down in the back. I was still screaming. 'He's not gonna dump me in the ocean is he?' I thought. 'If only.' My inner voice said. Eli drove to where ever we were going and finally stopped. He opened the back and carried me out. I stumbled as he put me down.
"Where are we?" I asked. My vision was really blurry so I couldn't see the lights of the building.
"The hospital."
"You're kidding right? Why are we at the hospital?" I asked. Did he think I was crazy or something?
"Ghost, you've been acting weird all day. I'm honestly scared for you, and I think I know what you have." Eli said dragging me towards the entrance.
"Oh yeah? What do I 'have?'" I asked him putting air quotes on have.
"I think you might have bipolar disease." I stiffened and felt a burning feeling go through my spine and my head. 'What?' I thought disbelievingly. I couldn't even concentrate. Eli was talking to the lady at the desk and I was waiting for him to finish. The lady led us to a doctor since the hospital was really empty at the moment. I sat down on the stretch out chair thing. The doctor came in a few minutes later. I still couldn't believe that I was even here. Eli was gonna be so dead after this.
"Ok, Georgia. We're just gonna do a quick physical exam and see if there's anything wrong." The doctor said. I nodded and said "Yeah. Am I gonna be able to go back to school in the morning?" He laughed.
"That's a first. But, I'm sure you'll be able to go back to school tomorrow. I'll just ask you a few questions." 'Oh boy.' I thought. "How has your mood been lately?"
"It's been…ok, but yesterday I was really stressed. I almost got arrested. Again." I stated and I saw from the corner of my eye Eli look up and give me a surprised look.
"My parents…they aren't together. And my dad had left us. Um…since today, I was kinda happy, then I was really mad because there's this voice that keeps going off in my head. Telling me that my old self is gonna take over. When she says it, I don't know if she's telling the truth, or she's just bluffing. But I know what she means when she says it."
"What does she mean?" the doctor asked, writing all of this down.
"She means that I'm gonna go back to the way I used to be. A known criminal like my dad." I said. The doctor nodded and asked "Did your parents recently have any kind of illness? Or maybe have bipolar disorder?" I shook my head. My parents didn't have anything wrong with them. Besides my dad's drinking, but that's not an illness, I don't think. The doctor sighed.
"Well, we'll figure out if you have bipolar disorder when we finish running the tests. But it'll take a while, so you can go home and wait for the hospital to call. We'll call in about…12, 13…" he didn't finish.
"Hours?" I asked. "Days?" Eli commented. "Yeah, definitely 13." I rolled my eyes and threw my hands up.
"So, can she go?" Eli asked. The doctor nodded.
"Yes, she can go." The doctor said and I quickly hopped out of the chair and walked out. Eli trailed behind me.
"I cannot believe you." I said walking outside to Morty.
"I'm sorry, but it was for your own good. What else was I supposed to do?" Eli said. I ignored him as I opened the door to Morty roughly. He gave me a glare when we were both inside. I stared back.
"Sorry, Morty." I mumbled as Eli started the car. He drove all the way home and when we made it, I sat down on the couch. He sat down next to me and said "I'm not talking to you. And before you make a snarky comment, I'm only talking to you to say I'm not talking to you. Starting now." I pushed him off the couch and rested my head on one side while putting my feet up on the other end. I heard him walk up a few steps and a door close. I sighed to myself as I fell asleep. My dream was pretty weird.
"Get out of my freakin' head!" I yelled to my inner self. We were both in a black room of nothingness, and she looked nothing like me. She had light brown hair, without a bang, unlike mine that was dark brown with a darker black streak and a bang right above my eyes.
"What are you gonna do about it, Ghost? Fight me? I'm you, so beating me up will be like beating yourself up." She said flipping her hair. I walked up to her and punched her. She fell back and glared at me.
"You're lucky I wasn't wearing the spiked bracelet." I said. She punched me in the stomach and I felt my lungs lose air for a second. I stomped on her foot and put both of my hands together, swinging them into her face.
"Just give up, and go haunt someone else. There's a douche bag that goes to school that probably deserves this more than me." I said putting my foot on her chest so she couldn't get up. She grabbed my foot and threw me down, me laying on my stomach. She grabbed my hair and turned my head sideways.
"I'll think about your offer, thought about it, no." she said. I grabbed the hand she was using to hold my hair and twisted it. She yelled out in pain and I turned around on my back and threw her down next to me.I quickly got up and started to twist her arm. She continued to yell in pain.
"Now, how about that offer?" I asked twisting her arm more and pulling on it. She didn't say anything and I continued to pull. After a few seconds, I heard a pop sound and let go. Her arm was dislocated from her shoulder and I kneeled down to her level.
"That's what you get when you mess me. It was nice meeting you." I said.
I woke up with Eli nudging my shoulder and telling me to get up.
"You might hate me, but I still have to get you up. Come on and get in the shower." He said. I rubbed my eyes and stood up, grabbing my stuff and taking it in the bathroom. I quickly changed into a grey t-shirt, black jacket and black skinny jeans with booties. I stepped out of the bathroom and grabbed my spiked bracelet. I put it on my right wrist and a chain bracelet on the other. I grabbed my book bag and walked outside. Eli was waiting for me, blasting his kind of music. I entered the car and looked over at him.
"I'm sorry." I said and he turned to me. "You were right to take me to the hospital. For all we know, I could have some sort of bipolar disease. And I'm glad that you were there with me."
"It's cool. Now, let's go before something stupid happens and we might regret it." He said starting Morty up. I laughed as I rolled the window down. We drove to Degrassi in a matter of minutes, after we picked up Adam.
"Oh, Degrassi. If only you knew the things that happened in your halls." I said and Eli and Adam laughed. We drove into the parking lot and Fitz and his little crew were in the parking space Eli was going to. 'Oh god. I'm gonna have to bust something else today.' I thought as Eli stopped in front of them.
"Excuse me, but can you move?" Eli asked to them as he poked his head out the window. I bounced my leg impatiently, waiting for them to move, but I was guessing they weren't. 'God, don't make me.' I thought starting to tap my finger against the car door.
"What's wrong with you?" Eli asked angrily. Fitz walked up to Morty and snatched the skull off the hood. I got out of the car and I can honestly say that if this was a TV show, the first thing you would've saw was my heel. I walked up to him and was about to say something when Eli yelled "Destroy my car over a freaking parking spot!" I saw Adam get out and walk behind him. I glared at Fitz as he said "Aww, want a tissue?"
"You're gonna need more than a tissue when I'm through with you." I said. He smirked at me. He grabbed my chin and tilted it up. I started to clench my teeth and my fists. "You're not back for more are you? I don't go for girls that throw themselves at-" He didn't finish because I spat in his face. He let me go, sorta tossing my head to the side. I smiled and said "Guys like you? I guess that you're just not worth it." He glared at me while whipping his face off. His sight turned back over to Eli and Adam.
"What the hell are you looking at?" he asked Adam.
"Trying to figure that out." Adam said and I smiled. Fitz glared at all of us and then slowly walked away, his crew following. He had tossed the skull over to the side and I picked it up. I looked at it and said "I don't even wanna touch it since he touched it. You want it back?" He was still glaring in the direction of Fitz. I walked up to him and grabbed his arm.
"Come on, before we're late." I said walking towards the school. A lot of people were staring at me, probably because they could barely recognize me. Eli saw Clare and had walked toward her. I smiled at them and thought 'Well aren't they just cute.' I heard a random guy wolf whistle at me and I smiled. The attention was sickening, but I kinda liked it.
"Who is that? She looks hot!" someone said. I just laughed and finally made it to my locker. I spun in the combination, but I didn't get it open when Adam had got pushed into a locker. Hard. I saw Eli and Clare right around the corner and Eli have that look on his face from earlier. Fitz held Adam up against the locker and I tried to get him off. He finally let go and smirked as Adam tried to get himself together.
"Figure out what you're looking at?" he asked Adam.
"Still trying to figure out the smell." Adam snarled. I tried not to laugh at this bad situation. I was just about to put my hands around Fitz's neck when someone held my arms behind my back.
"Hey let me-" I said but the person had just started to drag me back, farther down the hall to the point where I couldn't hear what was going on, I could only see. I saw Eli get in Fitz's face and Clare looked scared as hell. If only I could do something. The person turned me around and I punched them dead in the face.
"Oww! What was that for?" the person asked. I stepped back, getting ready to punch the person again, but I noticed who it was.
"Sav? What the hell dude?"
"Sorry, but it looked like you were about to rip Fitz's head off." Sav commented, rubbing his nose.
"Well I was. No one messes with Adam and gets away with it." I said. I mean who messes with 10th graders? That's just wrong.
"Look, you can't go over there and fight him. You're just gonna get hurt and in trouble." He said still holding his nose. I thought for a second as I watched a crowd gather around where I was. I turned to him and asked "So what's the real reason you pulled me back?" He gave me a questioning look and then sighed.
"The office has a call for you about something important." He said and I thought for a second before murmuring "The results…dammit."
"What?" Sav asked and I started walking backwards to the office.
"Tell Eli that I'll kick Fitz's ass later!" I yelled before turning around to run to the office.
