unbelievable, chapter 3
"Where the fuck is Heather" I yelled even though I knew the answer.
"She probably skipped again" Jess said morosely.
"Whats wrong Jess." I asked.
"She's throwing away her life. It's the fourth day in a row, well school day in a row but-"
"'Sup bitches" I turned to see Heather sit down.
"HEATHER YOU'RE HERE!" Jess yelled causing a table of preps to turn and stare.
"Hold on," I said to Heather and Jess. I turned to the staring table, "What are you looking at bitches?" They looked around "yeah I'm talking to you. I don't see any other fools starin' at us."
"Whats gotten into that emo over there?"
"I'm not emo, so go fuck a monkey." I turned back to Heather.
"Wow," she said, "I guess I taught you well"
"Hey lets go visit Mrs. Woitunski" (wu-tun-skee is how its said in case you wanted to know). We waited until it was time to go then we left the cafeteria and race to Mrs. Woitunski's room. She was our English teacher last year and the coolest ever because she let Heather and I sit alone in the back. We visited her almost everyday after lunch.
We sat down in the back of the room like always. She never noticed us until after she started class. Today she was really blind. She had been talking for twenty minutes, oblivious to the scared seventh graders around us. Five minutes later she noticed the two girls who were taller than everyone else and dressed way differently, Heather in black baggy pants and her Slipknot sweatshirt that I openly hated, and me my grey AC/DC t-shirt with dark red letters burning in black fire and black pants that were ripped in the knees.
"What are you two doing here?" she asked
"Seeing how long it would take you to notice us." Heather said
"Well how could it take long look at yourselves"
"Aww Mrs. Woitunski" I said " We always dress like this, you know that. Plus, it took you half an hour to notice us. So whats new with you."
"What class do you you two have now."
"What day is it" Heather asked
"Friday"
"Oh I have English"
"So do I"
"What teacher"
"Walshie"I said
"Butler"
"I'll write you passes"
A few minutes later I was in English.
"You're late" I handed her the pass.
"Fine" she said "now that everyones here we will spend the last ten minutes at the book fair in the library."
Another class was down there. I recognized it as Heathers class but didn't see her. Lydia was in the other class.
"Have you seen Heather"
"Not since lunch."
"Crap"
On Monday, the next week, I heard Taylor talking to Lydia. What why Lydia, Lydias my friend right. Crap. I went to find Kaylie but she wasn't at school yet. I went back to the crappy auditorium that we had to wait in before school. Heather was with her too. Heather doesn't come to this dump early.
"LAUREN!" Heather yelled and ran over.
"Uh... "
"Whats wrong?"
"Nothing... " shit. The worst part is that I don't even remember why I hate Taylor. Hm... Time for a subject change. "Are you staying today"
"What do you think?" then the bell rang so I ran to find Kaylie.
She was at her locker
"Kaylie"
"What"
"The beast is coming to our table"
"The Beast? Oh shit not her. We hafta move."
She didn't move there until Thursday. Heather hadn't been to lunch all week. Friday morning I saw Heather in the hall "are you staying today?"
"Yep, I hafta"
Kaylie and I found an empty table. Luckily no teachers noticed us. Its against some stupid rule to change tables without permission. Aww fuck it.
I saw Aimee and AJ after lunch.
"Why'd you switch?"
" Taylor"
"Oh"
"Anyway, AJ you know the whole school thinks you two are going out"
"Oh tell people we are cause then they won't think I'm gay. Even though I'm bi I don't want them to know."
"Yeah bi (cough)"
"Hey"they said together. I was pretty sure that Aimee liked AJ.
"I can be straight" AJ said then he looked at Aimee, "I love your hot boobs" she smiled.
"OK bye you two scare me." As I was leaving I looked back.
"Aimee" AJ said down on one knee, "will you go out with me"
Monday morning I sat in the crappy auditorium with AJ.
"I really do like Aimee now" he said
"That's good y'know she likes you too."
"Cool"
"Hey I think I'm gonna move to your table tomorrow, I'll bring Aimee."
I sat in English, kind of spaced out. The announcement speaker crackled on while Mrs. Walsh continued asking questions.
Mr. G spoke, "Would Heather Morris please report to the office, Heather Morris."
"SHI-" Mrs. Walsh looked "-eee, Shi-eee um wanted to do the thing"
"We're talking about Buddy not Skye"
"Umm right I knew that" I looked at the clock. 15 minutes left.
Five minutes later, "Heather Morris to the office, Heather Morris"
"FU- uut, Fuwat was that announcement umm, oh I have to go to the, uh umm, bathroom. OK well only a few minutes left so see you tomorrow Mrs. Walsh." I ran to the lobby and saw Mr. G "Why do you want Heather?" I asked. The rest of our group was most likely on their way. Jess, Aimee and Tiana were behind me. Jess got a look on her face and slipped away. Aimee and Tiana didn't notice.
"Why do you people want to know?"
"She's family"
"Well do you know where she is then?"
"Yeah," I said, "she had to go... "
"... Help her sister," Aimee said
"Yeah," I said, "Tiff isn't doing so well. Oh look its time for lunch gotta go."
Aimee and AJ were at our table the next day. I found out that Jess heard someone enter the school through the side door. It was Heather. She and Heather listened to us talk to Mr. G and Heather got the hell out of there.
But, at least no one noticed that we switched lunch tables. It was like a mortal sin to switch lunch tables. Shit. It was Mr Costa. He was usually on the other side of the caf.
"Hey," said Mr. Costa, the band teacher, "go back to your table"
"Aww c'mon Mr. Costa"
"I don't want you to get in trouble, now go"
We went back to our old table. I saw Heather.
"Heather what happened...
"She probably skipped again" Jess said morosely.
"Whats wrong Jess." I asked.
"She's throwing away her life. It's the fourth day in a row, well school day in a row but-"
"'Sup bitches" I turned to see Heather sit down.
