The settling

Wakening

[Edited by Unicornlazy03]

I was lost in my imaginary world. How cool would it be to

Kill a dragon.

The teacher slammed a ruler on my desk, missing my fingers by a inch. I looked up from my book to meet her stern eyes, not leaving mine for a second.

"When I ssssay pleassssee closssse your book, clossse it." I have always thought Mrs.Illa was a snake.

I closed my book and looked up at the boring words everywhere that scrambled my mind. Mrs. Illa lectured us about proper writing techniques and blah blah blah.

I would be lucky if I'd pass this class with just a D. She just doesn't like my work.

If only I didn't have her.

Now anyone would say I was overreacting. I got the same answers as a different person and I messed all of them. When I bring it up I got yelled at.

Now I am just rambling in my head. Great. I am going to be some syco locked in a factory.

You know what's funny? She wants me to pay attention, yet I am not well I guess. I still cant read the board.

I will be back words I can't read I swear.

I need to be taught how to read. I am still reading childrens book.

The bell rang and I was the first one out the door. I didn't stop at my locker, I went straight for lunch.

Before I could get there, a group of boys stopped me. They smirked, which sent a chill down my spine.

"I-I need to go" I stuttered, trying to get pass them as they were still in my path.

Glaring at me, they let me pass. I didn't even know them. I countiued my mission to the lunch room. Right when I got there, I took a seat.

Now I finally don't have to sit by someone. All everyone talks about is what happen at Dillian's party.

I just can't stand gossip.

Trisha took at seat by me and pulled a book out. I kinda wish to be her. She knows how to read. Only certain people we're taught to read. My farther told me I was to incompetent.

I ask Trisha if she would teach me, but she always said later so I stopped. Children books are better anyways. I didn't eat the school lunch because my mom always forgot to put lunch money in my account.

A few of Trisha's friends sat down. They we're talking about who was the cutest boy.

Ugh.

One turn to me I think her name is Megan, "We will let Skyler decided." She looked at her friend and giggled and back at me," Who is hotter Josh or Hunter"

I thought about it for a minute as Megan and her friends waited for an answer,"Josh?"

"See told you Megan" said Kathy.

"So? I still think Hunter has a cute ass." she responded and shrug. She and her friends countiued talking. At some point Trisha joined in.

I didn't though. I'm not talking; it gives me time to think. My life takes a turn every minute.

The funniest thing every school has a mean girl. I don't know her, she isn't in my class. I hear gossip all the time about her.

"Hey! Skyler get out of your God damn thoughts it time to go." Megan yelled at me while walking away.

I grabbed my things and headed out. I didn't want to be late to my next class. I arrived at Mr. Kilands class.

"Class sit down. Sit down!" I took my seat. He told us how in the next week we will be presenting a essay about your weekend.

Milsa whispered in my ear, "It's such a shame you can't read or write I hope you fail!"

All highschool is, is people making fun of people. Our school education never said we had had to know how to read.

I finally got home. This day was horrible I found my dad studding dirt.

"Farther?" I needed to ask him something.

"What do you want? I'm busy can't you see, stupid girl, make it quick." His tone was harsh sending chills down my back.

I wanted to ask him but the fear of what he say over thrown me, "Never mind you have better things to do." I sighed.

I ran up the flight of stairs to my room. A note was layed out. Get your nice dress on. I probably had to go some where. I put on my blue and white laced dress.

My mother walked up the stairs,"Great! You're ready, your farther thought you prombly couldn't read the note." She laughed. "That guy. We are going to go to a fancy restaurant, only the best."

"Okay" Was all I said

I followed her down the stairs and got in the car we slowly drove to Meliaha. I rember when I used to come here when I was little.

I took my seat my farther whispered to my mother but I could here, "Why did we bring her? Are you trying to embarrassed me?"

My mother shook her head. Of all the things she could of say she didn't. I wanted to leave right now.

"Daughter me and your farter are doing something this weekend, so I told this girl you would go to her sleep over!" my mother said very hyped.

"Who?" I asked

"Abbey's she said it would be killer." The way she drew the word out scared me. I was suppose to leave tomorrow. Abbey would pick me up.

I didn't even know her. Why would she invite me. Ugh. All I wanted was to stay at home. Well guess it's to late don't want to seem rude...
