Me : What's wrong ?
Colleen : Nothing.
Me : Your lying.
Colleen : No I'm not.
Me : Yes you are.
Colleen : No I'm not.
Me : Why won't you just tell me what's wrong ?
Colleen : It's none of your business .
Me : Yea but I'm your best friend .
Colleen : Just leave me alone.
Me: No.
Colleen : Yes.
Eventually I give up and go to bed .
"Colleen, wait up.", I call after her. She just ignores me and keeps going.
"Colleen.", I scream. She turns around looks at me and keeps going. I finally catch up to her. " Why are you ignoring me ?"
She doesn't even look at me as she says , " Leave me alone."
She then walks off. I'm too shocked to move . What is going on with her ?
" Ms. Blake are you aware of the school rules?", Mrs. Mears says.
"One of those rules is no running or screaming in the hallway.", she says.
" Sorry, Mrs. Mears." , I say.
" I'll see you in detention after school today.", she says and walks off.
Well , this sucks. I head to my locker to get my books for class. I have to hurry because the bell rings in about two minutes.
**********************************
I send a quick text to my mom telling her I'll be home late and enter the detention room. I don't get detention
a lot . I walk in the door and see that there's a couple people in there already. Detention starts at 3:30 and it's 3:24 right now. I guess the universe is making up for the things it's done to me because Luke walks through the door at 3:29.
The teacher walks in at exactly 3:30. She sits behind the desk and pulls out a magazine . Well this is going to be a long hour.
**********************************
" We need to figure out what's wrong with Colleen.", I say.
"I know . I miss hanging out with all of us together.", Candice says.
"I agree.", Ashley says.
"We can think about that later though because I want to watch a movie.", I say.
" What movies do you have ?", Candice asks.
" Fast and Furious 6 , Pitch Perfect , or Soul Surfer. ", I say.
"Pitch Perfect ! ", Ashley squeals. "That's my favorite movie."
" I know you've told me about a million times .", I laugh.
We make a palate on the ground since we can't all fit in my bed . I make popcorn . I also put chips and candy in bowls.
"Horizontal running." , we say with Fat Amy. We've all watched this movie about a million times .
" I love Fat Amy !" , Ashley yells.
It's pretty late when the movie ends so Ashley and Candice decide to just stay at my house since it's a Friday.
**********************************
Camden36 : Can I come over ? We need to talk.
Colleen05 : Don't care.
Camden36 : Ok. I'll be there in 10.
I knock on the door. Normally I would just walk right in, but given the situation I figured it would be better to knock . Colleen opens the door and lets me in.
"Hey" , I say.
"Hey.", she says.
"What's wrong with you ?", I ask.
"Nothing." , she says.
" We both know that's a lie."
" Fine , You really want to know know so much . My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer."
"Colleen , I'm so sorry. Why didn't you tell us sooner ? " , I say.
" I don't want it to be true. When I tell anyone it just makes it more real.", she chokes out . I can tell she's about to cry.
" Let's do something to distract you. Lets go out eat." , I say.
After she gets dressed we take my car and head out .
"Where do you want to go eat ? ", I ask .
" How about a Mexican place.", she says.
" Sounds good. I love Mexican ." , I say.
" I know you do . So do I .", she says.
It doesn't take long to get there and we get seated as soon as we walk in the door. A waiter comes and gets our drink orders soon.
"I'll have a sprite .", I say.
"I'll have a coke.", Colleen says.
" Can we also have some cheese dip ?" , I ask.
" I'll be right back with that." , our waiter says .
" Colleen , everything is going to be okay ." , I say.
" I really hope so ." , she says .
