Chapter 2- "You know Leonardo DiCaprio is not the Real Jack"?

Start from the beginning
                                    

I rolled my eyes and we all all ordered our drinks and she walked away. I tapped my fingers on the table.

"So, Tatum. Do you know where you are going to college"? Mrs. Lockwood asked.

I sat up straight and my mom narrowed her eyes to me.

I shook my head "No".

"I told, you Tatum. You need to start looking" My mom said in a I'm-right-because-I'm-your-mother-and-mom's-are-always-right tone.

"It's September" I pointed out.

She sighed then turning to Mrs. Lockwood and them engrossing into a conversation.

<^> River Lockwood POV <^>

I scrolled threw my phone as everyone talked. I leaned back in my chair and my phone buzzed.

Lucas: Dude! Where the hell are you?!?!

Me: Sh*t! I forgot about the meeting! I am at a restaurant, my mom won't let me out of it....

Lucas: Well you are going to have to pay your debt. Don't forget you're racing tonight.

Me: Ya, ya, I know

Lucas: I'm serious River, you need to step up a game.

Me: I'm River Lockwood, I am already the best

Lucas: Whatever........Isn't Tatum there?

Me: Sadly yes

Lucas: She's not that bad

Me: You try being best friends with her for 16 years, then come and talk to me.

Lucas: Fine see you when I'm 32 :)

Me: Whatever, see you later

I put my phone away and looked up. Zoe asked "River can we go to the game room"?

I saw she was next to Tatum.

Tatum was shaking and her face was pale and she looked like she was having a small anxiety attack.

I raised an eyebrow "Are you okay"?

"Uh-Uh...Y-ya I-I'm F-f-fine" she stuttered "I just need some a-air" then got up and walked out.

<3 Tatum Crawford <3

"Beth"! I cried into the phone.

I slid down my bedroom wall and brought my knees up to my chest.

"Hey, what's wrong"? She asked concerned.

"There coming back" I cried into the phone.

"The Anxiety Attacks"? She questioned.

"Yes" I whimpered.

"I'll be right over"! She said and hung up.

I always had anxiety attacks from the 7th grade-junior year. I finally got over them, but there coming back and I don't know why.




Bethany ran in and hugged me.

"Did you tell your mom"?

"No, just you" I said.

She hugged me again. "Do you think it's because River keeps popping up"?

"No, why would I care"?! I denied.

"He was your best friend, you loved him like a brother,Tatum" She said.

"Not anymore" I mumbled.

"I think that's what it is" She said.

"Whatever. Can we watch Netflix or something"?

"I'll get the ice-cream" she said.




"No! No! No! No! Why?! Why did Jack have to die!? He just to HOT to die!" Beth actually cried over the titanic and was shouting at my TV.

I narrowed my eyes at her and took a spoonful of ice-cream of the carton. We are on our 2nd carton of ice cream, and are 2 hours into the movie.

"Jeez, Beth. You know Leonardo DiCaprio is not actually the real Jack"?

"O shut up! I'm a hormonal teenager, what do you expect"!? She defended and I chuckled.

My door then opened.

"Why is Bethany crying"? Max asked confused.

"We're watching the Titanic".

"Aha" he said then walking out.

A://N Ok so Chapter 2 is complete!

I hoped you liked it!

I only had Religion homework today (I go to Catholic School) so that was a surprise!

I usually get 5 pages of Math, 6 things of Socail Studies (Including essays, outlines, etc.) Science Packet, Reading Vocab, Religion pages, and A LOT of studying.

stuDYING

Yeah, so that's it...I think?

Oh! Wait!

Why would Tatum have anxiety attacks?!

You'll find out eventually..........

*Laughs Evilly*

Dedication to Keke980, because she's one of my best friends since the 2nd grade, and she listened to me rant today about how my Algebra class got lunch detention because of the idiots in my class that wouldn't shut up! Plus she gave me some Apple Jacks, and sour-patch-kids because I ran out of food!

So thank you Keyana!

P.S. I'm captain in Gym/P.E. class tomorrow and my teacher makes us pick people and it has to go boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl........

So I have to pick a guy first, and everyone is like "Ooooooo, someone's got a crush". I'm like "No! Now grow up! Before I throw a brick at your face"!

I honestly don't understand why people think guys and girls can't be friend without people saying that one of them or both ave a crush on one another.

It's not true..........

Well that was a random vent, but I can be like that sometimes :)


Well now, I think that's it.
