Tears welling in my eyes I raised my shaky hand, embarrassed of messing up during my presentation. "Mr.C may I go to the bathroom." "Yes, you may class is done in fifteen minutes" I heard him say. as the heavy school door shut, I flung my bag on my back and walked straight down the hall to the wash room. I opened the stall door and locked it behind me. I sat on the toilet letting myself sob hoping no one would walk in. OF COURSE my luck Cynthia walks in with her bitchy friend Samantha. I stayed silent trying to listen in on their conversation. "Erin beat me up." She started to fake cry.
"I was just standing in front of her locker and she punched me. I don't know what to do" she said in between breaths. It sound so fake and besides Erin would never do something like that. I was so confused. "Was that good enough?" She said quietly "he'll yea!" Samantha said grabbing Cynthias arm. "Lets go get some revenge!" I stayed in the bathroom a little longer I didn't want anyone to know I was crying. What revenge I thought to myself. We were never mean to Cynthia and why would Samantha want Erin in trouble so bad.
I knew I should have never came to this school I should have gone to the place my friend Kendra went to. It just has a bad reputation. Every one is fake here at my school and I can't make any friends because Cynthia spread Rumors about me. It just has a bad reputation. People smoke, drink, do drugs.
Cynthia Erin and I were best friends about a year ago, then we split up in the summer. We told Cynthia how we felt. She always made us feel like we had to act a certain way around her she always judged us and told us to change things that we couldn't change, And it sucked but we didn't say anything, we didn't want her to hate us or blackmail us because that's just something Cynthia would do. And she's doing it right now. Going to make Erin get mad and do something out of anger so she can get Erin in trouble. She the most toxic person I've ever met. I'm not surprised and Erin shouldn't be either.
Erin on the other hand is my bff for life. We never fight and we basically live at each other's house. I love her to DEATH like a sister but she's been getting pushy lately. like mean but jokingly. She says jokes that honestly make me upset. It makes me think maybe there is something wrong with me. I try to let go of the negative thoughts besides Erin is my only friend anyway.
I knew Erin and Maddie would be fighting when I got to her locker so I sped up to see if I could video tape what happens then I could show the principal. Unfortunately while scrolling through Snapchat stories I already saw a picture of Erin full of Maddies Starbucks coffee. I was too late. What are we going to do. I ran through the halls trying not to get caught. I turned the corner and saw Erin taking off her sweater full of coffee. She shoved it in her locker and slammed it in frustration. The look on her face made me feel bad for her. "Hey Erin!" I called speed walking up to her. "I heard what happened between you and Cynthia. " I said reading the expression on her face, Id know it from anywhere. if I don't shut my mouth she'll tell me she's fine and get more angry. "How has it spread so fast?" She said in a confused voice. I showed her my phone. Her eyes went wide and I could tell she was mad. I put my hand on her shoulder. "It wasn't really that bad she could have done MUCH worse. Anyway, it's our monthly sleepover so cheer up!" I said with a smile. I could see her relax and we had a very quiet walk over to my house.
I gathered my things quickly because my parents were getting ready for a party they were hosting at my house with their friends. My parents always ignored me. When they got drunk the would get verbally abusive to me. But they were drunk. I tried to vele they didn't mean the things they said and they were just under influence.
When we got to the movies we saw frozen 2 and it was surprisingly super good.

We got to Erin's and made some delicious cookies they were really sweet. Erin didn't look to happy about them because she doesn't like really sweet things. (I added extra sugar.) we got comfy in our matching pj's and sat on her bed and talked about school and weird topics came on and off. I told her about how I messed up during my presentation, but I could tell she wasn't listening. "Hey Paige?" She said interrupting me. "Why did you come to the back even though I said to meet in the front of the school?" I was going to tell her what happened but in the moment I didn't want her to think I was lying because of the big awkward pause that I caused by thinking of what to say. "Oh I just forgot." I said looking down at my fingers.
"ERIN GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!!" I heard her mom scream. Everything was so confusing. All I remember was Erin telling me to go out the window. I grabbed my bag with my wallet some clothes and my tooth brush in it. We ran down the street, and I was scared. What were we going to do we can't go to my house so we just ran to the park. "Why was your Mom so mad?" "I don't know" said Erin with a dull face. I could tell that she was hiding something "come on you can tell me I'm your best friend, right?" I said with tears in my eyes "Yes of course but I don't think I can tell you right now. I'll tell you later when I feel better and not like I'm about to cry."I laughed because if she were to tell me now she would ball and I would too. Hot tears fell down her cheeks. I laid my head on her shoulder and found my self falling into sleep as I was Exhausted from the whole day today. Everything built up and finally let go. I started crying and wished that I could travel in time and go back to when things were better. Where we fit in, had good parents, and friends. Only in my dreams.
