I Thought It Was Just Me

School Is Where The Heart Is

Emma Evans

           Emma

           "Emma get up," I hear a familiar voice say. I rub my crusty eyes and start to stretch. Piper, my bestfriend, was standing impatiently by my bed side. "Get up now or we are going to be late for school," she says with a tinge of annoyance.

            I get up and tell her that patience is always key. She got a bit aggravated with one of my "talks" so she shoved me into my walk-in closet. I pick out an outfit and walk out.

             "Come on! Come on! We don't have all day Emma Evans," she says, using my full name. That's never a good sign...

              She grabs my wrist and pulls me out of my house. I suddenly see my friend Jasper in his car and we get in. "You called him Piper or was this just a coincidence," I ask and she says,"I called whilst you were changing."

               He starts driving and we all start having a conversation about where we are going out to eat after school. "I say McDonalds guys," Jasper says and Piper lets out a grunt. "The more you eat Mcdonalds, the more weight you'll gain and then you'll be known as Jasper...the king of the obese," I say like it was a hollywood movie. Jasper lets out a laugh and Piper joins in on it too.

                 "That's not gonna happen Em," he says reassuringly and Em was my nickname by the way.

                 "But I can already see it," I say lightly and the two blondes burst out into hollers of laughter.

                           ---------------

                 Jasper finally spots a parking space in the schools parking lot. We jump out and start walking towards the building. We all stop and just stare at the building.

                 "Well...there it is," Jasper speaks up and I nod.

                "School is where the heart is," I say and Piper repeatedly shakes her head, making her blonde curls fly.

                "Nope, school is where hell is," She says and both her and Jasper start walking to the building.

                But school is where the heart is because you are there most of the time. It's where you learn and make friends. To express who you are and to figure out who you are...and who you want to be. Some people don't want to be here, but it is for their future. Once they get older they will understand that school were the glory days.

                "Emma," I hear Piper call out. I look up at her and she was already at the school door. "Coming," I yell out and start running. I almost fell a couple times, but I make it through.

                   I was panting and when I went inside...it got cold. Piper and I started walking through the crowd of students. I am 5'4 which is average...right? Piper was way taller than me, so she led me to our lockers. 

                     We make it and I put in my lock code. 37-24-18 and I open my locker, I wasn't those girls that decorated their locker either. Example: Piper has pink cheetah print,a mini disco ball, and a mirror. 

                      I start stuffing some books in my locker when I hear gasps and girls squealing. Piper and I turn around to see the schools nerd, Wendy, with Liam Grey. The bad boy, player, and all things bad. My eyes widen at Wendy because she had a mini skirt,heels, a lot of makeup on, and a very short crop top. She was the quiet girl, but a very smart one. She lost her complete body and mind probably because of Liam and his antics. Wearing that made her look very different, I remembered when she wouldn't even show her elbow.

                    They pass by everybody hand in hand with smirks on their faces. And of course Liams parade of followers followed. "Oh, Liam Grey is so hot...he's like Christian Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey-can he be related to him," a girl says to one of her friends.

                     All the girls have been played, even Piper! Wendy and I were suppose to remain away from him, but she didn't make it. That means that I am the only girl in the entire school who hasn't been played. When Piper got played by Liam, Jasper was so mad that he almost got expelled for kicking Liam's ass. I told Piper that I personally think Jasper likes her and she freaked the hell out.

                      I am pulled out of my thoughts when I hear the bell. "Let's go Emma," Piper says and I grimace.

                     "You can go...I'll catch up," I say and she shrugs. She leaves and the hallway is completely empty, so I grab my book of my thoughts. 

                     I sit down on the floor and lean my back on the lockers. I pull out a pencil and start writing about personality.

                     3rd Person 

                     As Emma wrote in her book, Liam got a text from Nicole. She was waiting for him in the janitors closet, so Liam gave Wendy a lame excuse of having to go to the bathroom. Both Liam and Wendy had ditched class, so Wendy was a bit upset that they wasted a few minutes of time together because he had to use the "bathroom." He quickly gets up and walks inside the school. The hallways were very quiet and there was no one in the hallways. 

                     As Liam was walking, something caught his eye. He stops walking and backs up to see a girl attentively write in a notebook. From the distance, Liam can see the girl clearly and she had black hair, bright blue eyes, and she had white to pale skin. He just examined the girl and didn't recognize her from all the girls he played. He thought he played them all, but it is clear that he hadn't. She's next on my list he thought and a smirk spread across his face. He walks off to meet Nicole, but that girl was still on his mind.

                      The girl didn't acknowledge his
presence at all. Little did she know that she was the next victim.....
