Chapter 2, Amanda's POV, Wait a minute, what?! No thank you! Good-bye.
Afterwards I had to head to class and act like I didn't hear anything Greg just said, so would running around and screaming be an option? Oh darn it! To avoid getting over excited I tried to avoid Greg for the rest of the day. It worked until about last period. He was in my class that period, the only other period where I happened to have an empty seat next to me, great *sarcasm*. It also happened to be English class, fantastic *sarcasm*.
For most of the class I sat there reading my book and Greg sat there staring at me from behind his book. If he was staring at my book instead I didn't know. Later during the class we were talking about the different types of poetry; meanwhile I was playing with my hair, shifting in my seat, kicking my chair, and looking at the posters all over the room. I hated sitting still. Greg glanced over to me and whispered "Do you have ADHD?" Drat! I hated it when people found that out. "Yes." I whispered back, I quickly figured out what that could mean.
Oh Gods. Oh Gods. Oh Gods, Gods, Gods!This could not be happening! This could not be happening! I have 2 wonderful parents and if what I thought was true then one of them wouldn't be mine! After class I rushed to my locker, packed up my stuff and headed home, without waiting for Rose. When I got home I dropped my pack and started packing subconsciously started packing. This couldn't be happening. I had to get out of here, clear my head, and I was definitely NOT going to the states after what I was taught about it. I packed up my passport, half my wardrobe, my piggy bank, and all the Percy Jackson books we owned.
I was almost finished packing when Rose stormed in the door. From the first second she started shouting at me. "Why did you leave without me?! I mean you should have at least told me you were going to leave without me! I walked around the school for a whole hour looking for you, and what are you doing...?" at that moment she walked into the room and saw me packing.
"I have to get out of here." I said
"Why? It was that kid Greg wasn't it! What did he do?" she asked angrily
"You shouldn't jump to conclusions, it's unhealthy! I just need to clear my head!" I fibbed. It was partially Greg's fault, and I partially needed to clear my head, but I was leaving for some over reason too. I just couldn't place my finger on it.
"Can you at least tell me where you are going?" she asked desperately
"No." I responded flatly
"Why Not?" she asked shouting at me.
"Because I don't know!" I lied. I did know where I was going, but I didn't tell her that. Why you may ask, because I don't need half the country after me that's why. By this time I was out the door and going down the drive way, my sister followed and held me back by my arm.
"Please don't go. Mom and dad will be worried sick, and I'll miss you. I need you in my life, please Amanda, stay!" she begged me, tears coming out of her eyes. I was tempted to take her up on her offer, but it was probably her persuasive powers she was using so I fought it.
"I'll be back, I promise!" I told her as I tugged away, and with that I bounded down the street. This was hard enough on me already, and she didn't have to make it harder. I would try to keep my promise, but it was hard to tell when I would be back. If I'll ever come back for that matter.
So that's Chapter three. Sorry if that was a bit rushed, I just wanted to move the story along, and for those with ADHD, sorry if I described it wrong. So do you think Amanda will be okay? Probably not, but stayed tuned to find out what happens next.
