Chapter 8

Olivia's POV

They left. Thank god. Wen was SO annoying.

"I'm home!" I yelled.

"The person who is home is me and I have no pleasure with you whatsoever." Wen sneered.

"SOMEone is cranky today," I observed.

"And by who?"

"Yourself?"

"Don't play dumb with me. I know what you are doing. You are trying to soften up to my friends and ruin my life!"

"Do you ALWAYS think people are out to get you!"

"NO! Only you!"

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!"

"MY PROBLEM IS THAT YOU MOVED INTO MY HOME, YOU ARE TOO NICE TO MY FRIENDS, YOU ARE GOING TO MY SCHOOL, AND NOW YOU ARE WORKING AT MY FAVORITE HANGOUT!"

"SO IT IS ALWAYS ABOUT YOU, HUH! WELL LET ME TELL YOU THIS. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU! I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS! ALL I AM DOING IS MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, GOING TO A NEW SCHOOL, HAVING TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS, GOT A JOB, AND MOVED INTO A NEW FAMILY! YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS! OH WAIT! YOU DON'T! ALL YOU THINK ABOUT IS YOURSELF!" I staggered. The world got dizzy for some reason. I leaned against my knees. When my vision cleared, my throat hurt so bad.

"Hope you're happy," I croaked weakly and staggered upstairs.


Wen's POV

I stared as she went upstairs to her room. What just happened? All I was doing was trying to mind my own business and then she comes screaming.

I settled into the couch and sighed. Now I can finish my movie in peace.


Olivia's POV

I remember exactly what happened yesterday night. I even wrote down what we specifically said. See I have a sorta photographic memory, so I don't forget easily. I wrote it down in case people were going to ask questions.

I made my way downstairs.

"Hi Olivia," Sydney greeted. I smiled.

"How was your first day at work? Did it go well?" Sydney queried. I nodded.

"Is there a reason why you aren't talking?" she asked. I nodded and pointed to my vocal chords. She nodded in understanding.

David came down and asked what was wrong. He rummaged for a board, marker, and wipes while Sydney explained.

"How did you blow your vocal chords?" he asked. I handed them the paper. When they were finished, I grabbed an apple and water, waved goodbye, and headed for school.


Wen's POV

I headed downstairs, hoping that Olivia wasn't there. She wasn't. Thank god. Dad and Sydney greeted me.

"Why did you pick a fight with Olivia yesterday?" Dad asked.

"Olivia explained, through a piece of paper." I got confused. Dad explained she lost her voice. I was surprised. Judging Olivia, she could scream and there was no end to her. I waved my hand dismissively and walked out the door.


Olivia's POV

When I got to school, I gave Mrs. Song my note. She smiled at me and waved me to my seat.

"What did the note say?" Mo asked. I uncapped my marker and wrote, That I blew my vocal chords out.

"Oh? What happened?" I just gave her my story and listened to Mrs. Song's lecture. Mo handed me back the paper and gave me an sympathetic smile.


Astronomy class was no better. When I entered the class I gave Mrs. Hunt the note, but all she did was glare.

"Someone's bumming it today," Scott stated as he scanned me over. I elbowed him and smiled.

"No sarcastic remark today?" Charlie accused.

I rolled my eyes and wrote, Shut up.

"What are you doing? Going old school?" he asked.

Wow. Really? I lost my voice, smart one.

"She's still feisty, even when she can't talk," Scott chuckled, "So what happened?" I handed him the paper and he gave it to Charlie.

I started to listen to Mrs. Hunt's presentation about the Sun.

In the middle of class she called on me, " Which way does the sun orbit?"

CLOCKWISE, I wrote really big.

"I'm sorry, I can't read that," she stated, " Can you please read it out loud?"

I winced. My throat was throbbing and she knew that but I put on my brave face.

"Clockwise," I croaked out. The class turned around to look at me. I hid my head and waited for Astronomy to be over. The bell rang and I ran straight to trig without even waiting for Mo.


I handed Mr. Lease the note and he patted my back.

I took a seat and Ray kept tapping on my shoulder. I ignored him. I sighed exasperatedly and wrote, What do you want!

"I know why you don't date me," he said. Duh, cuz I got no interest in you now shut up or I will make you sorry.

"And how will you do that?" I raised my hand and Mr. Lease looked at me and raised an eyebrow. Ray keeps bothering me even though I told him to stop, I said.

"Ray, leave Ms. White alone or I will have to send you to another detention." Kids snickered at me and Ray. I wanted to die.

"Everyone shut up! It is not my fault Ms. Tattletale tattled on me." Ray said. More snickers.

"Mr. Beech, detention." Ra glared at e for the rest of the lesson, but I was satisfied.


Lunch soon came and Stella waved me over.

"Heard you lost your voice, what happened?" Stella asked. I handed her the paper, but she gave it back.

"Sorry, don't do Mr. Gorman." Grr, I hate losing my voice, I thought as Charlie explained what happened.

Just then a pile of spaghetti was dumped onto my head. I turned around to a smirking Ray. I glared as hard as I could, slapped him hard on the cheek, and started walking towards the bathroom.


Stella's POV(surprise! I was only going to be Olivia and Wen but someone asked for some dialogue between Stella and Ray)

I glared at Ray. Olivia was already having an off day.

"Jerk."

"Weirdo."

"Snob."

"Nobody."

"You know what? I have no words for how horrible you are, but here is my reaction." I kicked him in the shin, followed by a punch in the stomach and a slap on the cheek and followed Olivia into the bathroom.


Olivia's POV

Stella came in shortly after me a helped me clean up.


Wen's POV

Olivia was late to class. Wait, why do I care? Just then Stella came in with Olivia.

Olivia handed Mrs. Wright two notes and was returned one.

Olivia headed to her seat. Her hair was slightly pink and she smelled like spaghetti.

Kids were snickering at her and she looked like she was about to faint.

The bell rang and she zipped out of the classroom. I shrugged.


"Hey guys, wanna go to the Coffee Mug?" I asked. No way was Olivia going to ruin my life.

The guys weren't listening. They were talking about Olivia. I sighed, it is ALWAYS about Olivia. I got their attention and repeated my question. They agreed and we headed to the Coffee Mug.


Olivia's POV

I headed into the café and signed in. I took my place behind the cash registerand wrote on my whiteboard, Please just start ordering, my voice is gone for a couple of days. And set it upright on the counter.

Just then Wen's gang came in and I gathered their orders and was about to give them their change when someone grabbed me from behind.

"I guess fate had it in for us!" I turned around and glared at none other than Ray Beech.
