It was second period, Algebra I. I can't believe today is my last day here. I couldn't stop thinking. I sat there imagining what my new life would be like and what my father was like.
"Ally – I mean Trinity," I heard Mr. Santanello say.
I looked up slowly, trying to process what was going on. Shit, am I in trouble?
"What? I swear I didn't do it! It was Dustin!" I exclaimed attempting to get out of trouble, if I was in any.
We weren't really friends, but we were in almost every class together so I know he'd be okay to blame. The whole class, including Dustin, burst out laughing.
Mr. Santanello even chuckled a bit. "What's the answer to question #22?" He smiled.
I looked down at my paper, which was empty. Obviously, I should have been paying more attention. Whoops.
"Umm… I don't know. It doesn't matter anyway. I'm not gonna be here for the test." I mumbled.
He looked at me for a moment trying to figure out what I said before he responded, "What do you mean you're n- oh! You're moving aren't you?"
I nodded my head slightly, not wanting to make a big deal of it. Who would care anyway? Suddenly, the class started shouting questions at me. "When are you moving," "Why," Where," and a few "I'll miss you." Those were said by my only three friends, Amelia, Alannah, and Sidra.
"Guys, cool it! She'll explain when and if she wants to." Mr. Santanello said.
"Can I just tell them now?" I groaned, wanting to get the talking over with.
He picked up the math packet, "When I'm done going over this."
When he was done talking about the math problems he walked over to his desk and set the packet down. Then, he walked back to the front of the class and looked directly at me. I knew I had to explain everything. I slowly stood up and turned to face the class.
"Well… I'm moving." I stated giving no details at all.
"We know that! Tell us more, though!" Jesse, the computer geek boy- genius of the class, shouted out.
"Like what? What more could you possibly want to know?!"
"When," Laura, Jesse's girlfriend asked, "Are you moving?"
"Today," I mumbled, then noticing that no one heard I repeated it, This time louder, "I don't know the exact time. I just know that today will be my last day here."
I looked around and saw the reactions of everyone in the room. A tear fell unto Laura's cheek, being the sweet sensitive girl she is, she'd cry for anything. Dustin sat there, mouth agape. Jared's face was emotionless, as always, but his eyes showed a bit more. It was silent. No one spoke, no one coughed, no one even made a noise. Suddenly, a voice shattered everyone's thoughts.
"Why," It was Jake, my boyfriend.
"Because," I choked out, "M-my mom, she… she died."
There were a few gasps.
I finally found my voice, "Cancer. It was Cancer that killed her. Apparently, they found my father and since I have no other living relatives other than him I have to go stay with him. He's coming by later today to pick me up."
"I'm sorry about your mom, Trin." I heard Amelia say.
"Keep in touch!" Sidra and Alannah chimed in.
I walked down the hall to lunch. I stuck in one ear bud and turned my IPod on.
"Trinity, guess what!" Sidra and Amelia called to me while running full speed down the hall. Alannah wasn't with because she spends lunch in the library everyday.
"Lemme guess, you… finally bought Danger Days?" I guessed.
"Close," My fellow killjoys said.
They glanced at each other then back at me. They had huge grins on their faces.
"GERARD WAY IS IN THE LOBBY!" They screamed simultaneously.
"No freaking way!" Sadly, we couldn't curse in school," That's easy peasy, pumpkin peasy! Pumpkin Pie Motherfuckers!" I quoted Gerard. Hey, I never said I always followed the rules.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go, go, go!" Amelia shouted.
"Come one! Let's go get his autograph!" Sidra exclaimed grabbing a hold of our wrists and
dragging us away from the lunch table.
