I'm planning on making this chapter a bit bigger than the first one, I hope you all enjoy and I would appreciate ideas and tips that you have to improve my writing, after all this is only my second time writing any fan fiction!
After about three more weeks in the hospital they finally released me. I made a full recovery with the hugest scar on my stomach and a cast on my fractured arm. Occasionally, Kent and the girls would send me letters and visit every now and then. Besides me having loads of homework and a lot of catching up to do, I was actually looking forward to going back to school. Task one is done, Rob and I are no longer a couple. Now just two more to go, make friends with Juliet and possibly stop hanging with Lindsey and them. I can already tell it's not going to be easy, I mean they are my best friends, but it's the right thing to do if they don't change then we can't be friends. It sounds simple, but it's not.
The day I head home is like no other. My sister, Izzy, is obviously excited that I'm finally back. She clings on to me saying, " I missed you so much sissy!"
I smile at her and hug back, "I missed you too!"
The next two days went by like a breeze. I mostly just watched TV and ate, the doctor told me not to be too active and what not. I was excited for school the next day, but then again a weird feeling pinched me when ever I thought about going back. I picked out my new outfit to wear the next day that my mom bought me; she has been spoiling me ever since I came out of the hospital. That night I sat in bed talking and texting Kent, Lindsey, Ally, and Elody. Everything was going back to normal, with just a few changes.
My alarm clock jolts me awake, followed by a wake-up call from Izzy. I go through my morning routine: shower, hair, clothes, and makeup. My days have been more vibrant, and Izzy seems to be less annoying to me now, oh and my mom actually comes in my room. Of course my mom asks me to eat breakfast, I was about to say no, but then I realized I need to appreciate her more so I sat down and ate. After eating I said my goodbyes to everyone and headed out to the car, where Lindsey was waiting for me.
"Hey, you want some bagels?" Lindsey asks
"No, I actually ate breakfast home today." I say.
"Hmm, I see, so your changing up a lot of things now?" Lindsey asks nonchalantly.
"You could say that." I say and then we pull up outside Elody's house and Lindsey honks the horn twice and the door swings open and Elody comes out in a big, brown, fur coat with fuzzy boots.
"Wow, you actually wore something weather appropriate!" I say sarcastically.
"If only she didn't have to kill four bears to wear it though!" Lindsey says sadly
"Please, you girls know you wish you looked half as good as me right now." Elody says and after our laughter dies we all roll down our windows and blast Mary L. Blige's "No More Drama", just like the good old days.
When we pull up outside the school, I get nervous. What reason do I actually have to be nervous? This day is going to be like any other school day with just a few changes, and I hope to god that I won't have to speak, look or even think of Rob anymore, but I have to realize that I can't ignore him forever.
All my classes go by quickly, I spot Rob in the hall, but hurry so he doesn't see me. Most of the people in the halls say hello or ask how I'm doing, as I pass by people though I can hear them murmuring, saying "Did you hear that Rob dumped her?" or "Did you see her hanging with Kent?" I wasn't surprised that Rob would go around saying he dumped me, but really I wish people would mind their own business, sadly this is high school and all people do is gossip, I even did.
Kent and I talk in fifth period, math class, I can't believe all this time Kent was just waiting for me, waiting for me to realize. I'm happy things happened the way they did, if it wouldn't have happened then there would be no Kent and I, if only it happened a much effortless way.
Next thing I know I'm sitting at the lunch table, eating with the girls. I haven't seen Juliet all day, I'm guessing she skipped, I might even check up on her after school to see if everything is alright. I think we're at the friend level now, after all I saved her life and almost ended my own. At lunch we ate and Lindsey talked about her problems with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Patrick. No one even mentions my little problems I have going on, thank god. When I feel like the whole world is in my favor, I look at the girls and they all look straight behind me, and then I get a tap on my shoulder.
