Jeremiah (Slowly Editing)

Chapter 04- Bad Boy

The next day..

Where could Bonnie possibly be? I mean its only the second day of school.

I hope she's okay, what if on the way home she got mugged by an old, bald, fat guy? Or worse. What's worse than that?

I shake the image out of my head. Think positive. She's probably sick, just probably caught the flu.

That's positive! My subconscious says sarcastically.

Yes way better than getting mugged.

Stuck in English without her feels weird, I have no idea who anybody is. Probably the only two people that I actually spoke three or more words to would be Bonnie and Jeremiah, maybe even the teachers but they don't really count.

Watching Ms. Garson talk and talk and talk is really boring, why won't she stop?

Standing on line to get lunch I look around the cafeteria. Dammit still no Bonnie, I guess I'm sitting alone today.

I sigh in frustration. Why couldn't she be absent when I wasn't here either? Then we'd both wouldn't be here and there'd be no problem.

I sit down to take my seat at the table, staring at my food I look to see the nacho meat breathing?

Holy shit! That's disgusting. I'd understand if it was a piece of hair but it was moving, breathing perhaps. I just lost my appetite.

I push the styrofoam plate away from me. Looking at the cafeteria entrance with hope to see if Bonnie will show up, I guess I should stop hoping.

"Are you new here?" A female voice asks me.

I look to where the voice is coming from.

Its one of the girls from yesterday that was sitting at the brains table as Bonnie would say. Why is she talking to me? Don't they only talk to you when your GPA is 98 or higher? And trust me its no where near that high.

"Yeah" I respond to her. She cheeses and I notice that she has braces pink on top and blue on the bottom.

"Hi I'm Ana Thornton." She gives me a tight hug till were the point of my lungs are filled with nothing but carbon dioxide and I'm unable to breathe. She lets go and I start to cough.

"Oh um I'm sorry I didn't mean to suffocate you. I get carried away sometimes." She says apologetically.

"No, it's okay... I'm fine." I tell her still coughing.

"I hugged you pretty hard, are you sure?" She asks.

"Yes positive." I say reassuring her.

"Okay so why are you sitting all alone?" She asks

"My friend isn't here today." I tell her.

"Y-you wanna sit with us?" She asks pointing behind her."

She moves so I could get a view of what she was pointing to. There are a couple other girls waving at me and I wave back. Then I see other guys with their eyes glued on their notebooks.

Oh what the hell how bad can it be?

"Oh oka-."

"No she's coming with us. We don't need your boring personality rubbing off on the new kids, so run along." A female voice speaks.

Its her, That girl who was putting her tongue down Jeremiahs throat. I realize that there are two other girls behind her giving Ana looks.

Ana looks at me and smiles apologetically then walks away not looking back. I'm kind of mad that she didn't say anything back maybe I should of butt in. I'll teach lacy boy shorts over here who should be running along.
