After The Rain

Chapter 1

*Crystals POV*

"Aaahhh! ! ! " all the girls in the classroom scream.
"Les filles calmez  vous!" Mme. Michaud cried for the tenth time. "Stop screaming and get out of there or you'll bang your heads on the desk! Now get back to work!!!" All the boys start giggling. "What are you laughing about! Get back to work! All of you!" Everyone groans and gets back to work.

I don't mind the rain. In fact I love it! The thunder, the lightning, it's all so calming to me. Why are people so scared of such thing? They are not going to die unless they went outside. I love dancing in the rain I feel so free and feel like I left all of my worries and sorrow away... but I'm stuck here doing work... what am I doing with my life? Whether I like it or not I have to go school and I don't really have a choice anyway. My parents force me to and I need an education. If I want to go somewhere, that's what keeps me motivated into staying in this dump. The only reason I don't like being here is because of these so-called teachers bossing us around like they know what they're doing.

Whenever we ask a certain question they would always say "you should know this by now; you are in high school" ugh come on! And what I also really hate is homework and annoying people. I look up the clock and see Only a minute left yes! I look beside me and tap Piper on the shoulder and she looks at me and I raise my finger and show her we have 1 more minute. She smiles and gets back to work before Mme. Michaud sees us and screams at us. 3,2,1 RING RING RING! Everyone practically ran and took there phones from the basket and ran out the door.

Me and Piper took our phones and ran out the door as well. We quickly took our ran coats from our lockers and our umbrellas and waited at the door for Lindsey to show up. As we waited we saw a bunch of couples sharing umbrellas and walking out the door some were having there boyfriends take their coat of and cover the both of them and run out the door and some didn't have their boyfriends at the same school and they were older, senior high school students who drove a car and would come and pick them up.

Sometimes I wished I had a boyfriend who could do all those things for me and I could just sit back and relax... "Oh that remindes me Jake is going to pick me up sorry! I can't take the bus with you and Lindsey. Tell Lindsey that Jake is picking me up ok? I have to go! A plus tard! "

"What-" she already left me. Great.

After Piper just ditched me Lindsay finally arrives. "Hey! Sorry I'm late!" She exclames "It's about damn time. Come on let's hurry or we'll miss the bus"

We sprint to the bus that was about to leave and went on. Everyone was looking at us like we're low class citizens "Oh that was close!" Lindsay exclames "We wouldn't have to sprint if you didn't take so long!!" I screamed
"Well at least we made it"
"Whatever " I murmured and we stayed silent for the next few hours until...

"Oh.My.Gosh. He is the sweetest!!"
"Who the hell are you talking about?"
"George!!! He's at my bus stop!!" She screeched and we had everyone's attention, not something I liked.
"Aurevoir Crystal!!!" As she ran out of the bus and into her boyfriends arms. She looks so happy...Ew!! Great I've been ditched again.

I finally made it home and I opened my door I took off my rain coat and I put my umbrella in the umbrella holder and I see a note on the table.

Sorry Crystal! I'll be late from work! But there is some leftover oignon soup in the refrigerator warm it up in the microwave and don't forget to wash your dishes when your done. Have a wonderful evening my darling!

A bientot !

Maman

I take the leftover oignon soup and warm it up and sit on my favorite couch and open the TV. The news was on and there was nothing better to watch suddenly the news said there was someone murdered by the park. Close to my house... I put the volume higher and it seems that his throat has been dissolved!...they don't know how whoever murdered this man did this.

I pause for a moment then I hear a knocking slow and faint I turn around and then it stopped. I turn back to the TV and then it knocks once again I turn around and say hello? Anybody here?" No response and the knocking stopped. "Ok this is really weird I'm going to my room. .." and I raced to my room hoping I'll be safer there...
