**sorry for any mistakes**
The dismissal bells ring.
Im walking down the stairs with Lucas. I've known Lucas since 2nd grade. Lucas was a misfit and I was the new kid. I didn't really make much friends back then, and mostly because I looked like repunzel with long black poofy hair, adding the glasses and braces too.
"Whats up, you look like someone made you mad" I said as I gently shoved him to the side.
"Nothing, I just have been getting really stressed out with the whole tests thing" Lucas says as he looks at me tiredly.
"Chill out dude, take a little break.you need it" I chuckled.
"Take a little break? I don't need breaks. I need to pass these tests, if I dont pass them my parents will KILL me".
"Oh come on. It wouldn't kill you to take a teeny break"I rolled my eyes.
"I don't know Faith, I have the studying for the tests and plus I'm working late today" he takes off his glasses to clean them.
"Come on Lucas, how about tomorrow? Please. Don't leave me hanging" I snatched his glasses away.
"Alright alright, I think we can work something out" he took his glasses back.
"Haha nice, thank you dork". I chuckled.
"Sure no problem" he says as we got on the bus.
As me and lucas walk up to my house he looked at me and said
"So were are we going tomorrow then?"
"I don't know, you tell me" I responded.
"Ok ok I'll plan something for tomorrow".
As im about to go inside he hugs me tightly for about a minute or two and says "you may not be mine but your still mine" he then gently kissed my cheek and ran away.
For hours I've been looking at the ceiling blankly trying to figure out what lucas meant by "s not mine but shes still mine", as im about to go take a shower i hear my mom pull up in the driveway.
I go downstairs, as im drying my hair, i can hear my mom sobbing and throwing things everywhere.
I tried calming her down asking her whats wrong. After a few minutes the room grew silent.
She wiped her tears and looked at me. she tried holding back her tears as she tried to explain why exactly she was crying.
She grabbed my hands and said
"Honey...i have terrible news.."
I gave her a confused look and said
".. what is it?.."
"Your father..... He's dead..."
She said as she looked down at the floor, letting the tears take over.
...i didnt want to believe the words that came out of her mouth.
