Chapter 9

I walked into my room later that night, after having a well deserved dinner. I was feeling very exhausted, not that I did anything tasking or stressful, it was probably because I haven't slept in days. As I began to undress, i proceeded to my shorts, I felt something in my back pocket... I open my eyes wide in realization. MEGAN...she didn't, I quickly brought out the content and honestly,I wasn't surprised when I found out what it was. I mean it was Megan, she doesn't give up so easily, she actually wouldn't listen to me when I told her I didn't need the letter, whatever.

Observing the the letter keenly, I suddenly felt the urge to open it but regretted it immediately, I didn't find anything of meaning only some roughly scribed words saying "D to Zoe" on the envelop.

I began to wonder who "D" was Meg said it was from Jason Dennison, ohh, silly me, it was probably his surname but why would he address it with his last name? Wait, why did I even care, it was Jason Dennison the world's most disgusting player. I decided to throw the letter away, I obviously wasn't interested on knowing the content. Am sure it's just one of his playful scheme to play girls and I wasn't in for such rubbish, at last minute, I hesitated against it, I could use it against him someday. I decided to keep it in my bottom drawer for future purposes.

I collapse on my bed after changing into a some pj's, tomorrow was school, I had to get some sleep now. I tucked myself into my glorious bed and once again began thinking about my present predicament that I didn't even know when I drifted to dream land.

************************************

My first subject of the day was Biology which I considered a living nightmare. I began to pull my biology textbook out of my locker when I was stopped midway by the sight Megan approaching our locker. She didn't look her usual happy and bubbling self.

"Hey Meg" I say with observing eyes

"Hey Zoe'' she answers sluggishly as she puts and brings stuff out of locker which was next to mine.

" How was the book club meeting " I ask trying to start a discussion.

"When has a book club meeting held by moms ever been interesting" she retorts back with a question.

"Uhhh never" I say, as we both chuckled lightly

Meg was not a morning person, particularly Monday mornings, but I knew she would snap out sooner or later that was just Meg.

" Have you decided on the organization you are volunteering for, the deadline is today, you have to make a decision now" Meg says.

"I thought about it, I promise I did but am so sorry, I can't join you on this one" I say feeling very sorry, although I would have loved to join Meg but I had already made up my mind on the orphanage not exactly knowing why.

"It's alright" she says with a clear expression.

"What!!" I exclaimed with wide eyes, I wasn't expecting that. Meg was very unpredictable sometimes.

"I said it's fine" she retorts with a dry smile.

"So you are fine with it?" I ask still unsure.

"Yes, I can't force you into something you don't want to do, that's not what friends do."

"Thank you so much for your understanding, you truly are the best" I say, hugging her tightly.

Before I could say any further, I was stopped by the bell indicating that it was time for the first class of the day and regretfully Meg and I did not offer the same major so we would not meet until lunch or during History, French and P.E but that would be later after lunch.

"See you later Zoe" she said as she closes her locker with a textbook in arm.

"Bye" I retort with a smile.

Mondays were always very slow and boring for me plus to make more miserable, I was blessed with with the unfortunate gift of having to attend Biology, Economics and Math classes in a row. By the time it was lunch time I wasn't even sure I was still sane because I was just moving and I didn't even have control of my body. As I walked into the cafeteria, I approach the counter, I decided within me that Mondays we're simply the worst and I felt like nothing could be more terrible than this, but I guess I was wrong when I bumped into someone. Cursing under my breath, recovering from the sudden shock I realized that I have been drenched completely with soup, but I was glad the soup wasn't very hot or else..... I don't want to think about it.

"Hey! Are you blind or something" she yelled with her mad voice that I wish I rather die than hear ever again.

Knowing fully well who the voice belong to, I looked up to find her looking disgustedly at me.

"I think that question was meant for you Kim" I spat right back at her.

Kimberly Chance, the official, blue badged bitch of Newark senior high. She always felt like she was the prettiest, most special and important thing the world has ever seen. She probably felt like that only because she was dating that douche bag of a Jason. Secondly, she has lasted for three weeks now or so (as I held). Not that I cared but I was curious to know if she was that stupid not to realize that sooner or later he was going to dump her for another chick.

By now , all attention in the cafeteria has turned to us, as I was looking like someone who just came out of sewage.

I didn't even realized Meg has showed up, but I was glad she did.

"Hey, you bumped into Zoe so you should apologize Kim" Meg cuts in.

"And why would I do that, she's not worth my apology" she says eyeing me with a dirty look.

"Well guess what junk brain, you are not even worth half of my dog's poop"  I could hear thunderous ooooos booming around the cafeteria. I wasn't ready for this but Kim just had the talent of bringing the worst out of me. From what I said, I could see the embarrassment and humiliation boldly written all over her stupid face and I must say, although I was drenched in soup I enjoyed seeing her like that until her knight in shinning armour just had to be party pooper.

Alright I had to stop saying poop. Ew!  Gross! Yikes!
