School.
Come for six hours, go home and do more school (homework) unless your lucky, then sleep then it repeats.
Oh joy. I'm surprised some of the teachers haven't went mental yet...
Except my math teacher, I'm pretty sure he's planning to jump out of the window someday.
When I got to school I saw Micah.
You'll never believe this! He was talking to Kayla...
Again.
Never seen that coming. Or did I?
I wish I could just not think of him.
I stared at the clock on the wall and lazily tapped my pencil on the desk.
"You all will be having partners on this project!"
The teacher announced.
I brought my attention towards him when he started to assign partners.
"Angela and Ben. Taylor and Amelia. Brad and Carmynn. Kayla and Silvia. Mindy and krissy.-"
I looked at Carmynn and she was picking at her nails, "psst. Carmynn."
She looked up and said, "hmm?"
I motioned her to come closer, "did you hear who my partner was?" I whispered.
"Kayla. She's great, you'll love her as a partner. Smart and funny. Don't worry."
I frowned, if only she knew what happened...
"Yeah, sure. Okay." I responded.
The bell rang and I grabbed my binder off my desk.
"Hey, Silvia? Right?"
A really gorgeous girl came up to me.
"Yeah..."
"Oh sorry. Not to freak you out or anything. I'm your partner for the project, I'm Kayla."
Oh.
Now I know why Micah kissed her; she's a 100 times prettier than me.
"Hi" was all I said to her.
"So, the project?" She asked me.
"Yeah."
"Your house or mine?" She asked again.
"I actually can't tonight, I have a thing."
She nodded in response, "how about tomorrow?"
"Uh, sure."
I got up from my seat and went to the door, "it was nice meeting you Kayla." I walked out of the class room and left her standing there.
******
"Hey, silver!" I turned around and it was Micah calling me from Alex's car.
I half waved in his direction and kept walking.
He ran up to me and a smile spread across his face.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Just walking home?"
"Is that a question or an answer?" He questioned.
"Both." I said.
He lifted a brow, "okay then, wanna hang out with Alex and I? We're going swimming"
Slowing down some I looked at him, "I don't know... I have loads of homework. And isn't it a little cold to go swimming?"
He scoffed at that.
"Never. And why would you have loads of work? School just started."
"I have a life Micah, I can't hang out with you guys."
He frowned some, "ouch that sorta hurts. So, your saying Alex and I aren't part of your life? Silvia that's-"
"No, you guys are part of my life. It's just, school is more important." I told Micah.
"How about, you come and I'll help you with your work?"
"Wouldn't you rather swim?" I asked.
"No, I want to help you. And I'm going to help you so work goes by quicker so you can go swimming too."
I looked down at my full black binder that I was carrying in my arms, "okay. But, I have to get ready. Pick me up in 10." I said.
****************
I got home after a couple minutes and saw that my moms red sports car was in the driveway...
The weird thing about that is, she doesn't drive or own a red sports car.
I opened the front door of the house, closed it behind me and closed the door behind me.
I heard laughing and muffled talking in the kitchen.
Slowly walking in there, I saw my mom smiling and talking to a man in his late 40's.
I forrowed my brows.
I slowly walked a little closer but stepped on a squeaky floor board.
"Shit." I quietly swore to myself.
"Oh, honey. Your home early"
My mom looked surprised but slightly covered it with a smile.
"Actually, this is the usual time come home..." I trailed off.
She nodded but I knew she wasn't really listening to me.
My mom got up and introduced the man that was sitting at the table with her, "Silvia, this is Ned. He's a very good friend of mine."
"Okay?"
The man- or Ned, got up from where he was sitting and held his hand out for me to shake.
"I don't shake hands." I told him.
"Since when?" My mom asked me.
"Since forever." I responded.
Ned nodded his head and looked towards my mom, "I'm sorry Delila, I have to get going now. The office will be calling me soon."
He lightly touched my moms hand and smiled.
She walked him to the door, "bye Ned." She smiled at him.
"Bye Delila." He smiled back.
"And, bye Silvia." He looked towards me.
"Yeah, bye Ted." I said.
My mom looked at me and frowned.
She closed the door behind Ned and stared at me, "why were you acting like that?"
I frowned.
"I wasn't acting like anything." I said.
Shaking her read she sighed, "okay honey."
"Mom, I'm gonna go hang out with Micah and Alex."
She lifted a brow. "You've been hanging out with them a lot lately. Don't you think you should start making new friends, preferably girls?"
"I don't know, I've been friends with them for a long time." I shook my head at the thought of ever loosing my two best friends.
"I understand. Its not easy letting go." She told me.
I nodded my head but didn't believe anything she was saying.
I sorta feel like she's lying to me.
It's easy for her to let go, she's already having men over right after she's divorced my dad.
My shattered phone vibrated in my pocket, I pulled it out and seen it was a text from Alex: hurry up!! Its not like ur getting ready for a freaking cinderela ball!
I texted him back: first of all, my moms stopping me from getting ready. And second of all, you spelled *Cinderella wrong. Your smart.
I put my phone back in my pocket. "Mom, I gotta go get ready. Their on their way."
"Okay, but be careful." She warned me.
I ran up stairs and quickly changed into my black two piece bathing suit, I put on a navy blue tank top and white shorts over top.
I heard a honk outside my house and quickly threw my towel into my backpack and grabbed my stuffed black binder.
After I ran down the stairs I slipped on a pair of navy blue flip flops I opened the door and closed it behind me.
When I got to Alex's jeep both Micah and him wore a big grin.
"what're you guys so happy about...?" I suspiciously asked.
"That your coming with us."
They both said simultaneously.
Creepy. . .
"Can you guys stop being creepy twins?" I asked.
"What are you talking about Silvia?" They asked.
I squinted my eyes at the two weirdos, "can we just go?"
"Aye aye captain Silver!" They called out.
I rolled my eyes.
While we were driving I asked, "so where are we going? This doesn't really look like the way to our swimming spot..."
All what Alex said was,
"You'll see when we get there."
