Happenings of the Dramatic Sort 2

Chelsey

I looked over at Katelyn, wondering what was bugging her. It's not too often I see her trying to restrain herself, but... It's her business, I thought. So, I guess if she had wanted to tell me, she would've. Apparently not. I turned away, hoping she didn't notice me staring. Once I turned, I saw...him...coming toward me. The only thing that went through my mind then was, "I can NOT deal with this right now". So, I turned and left. I didn't even know why he was a problem. It's just, well, I guess that he wanted a different group of friends. Maybe once he realized that wasn't working, he came back. The problem was, I didn't know if he ever left, and maybe I just didn't like him the way I used too. Oh well. So, at that point, just 12:45, I had had enough for one day. It's strange, I thought, as I walked down the hall to the gym, and saw the door. It would be so incredibly easy to just fake sick or look pale, something like that. Then I could go home. Unfortunately, that's not really how life works. So, I went into gym class just like any other day to face the stupidly repetitive music of my life.
