It was now lunch. I walked alone to the cafeteria. I couldn't find Matt, Owen, or Paisley anywhere. I get to the line and saw the food wasn't looking very good to me so I decided to get a water. I walked out into the large room that smelled like garbage and food, a lot of food. I walked around looking for Matt, Owen and Paisley. People stared when I walked by. I zipped my jacket a bit so it wouldn't fall off. I decided it was useless and I turned to walk out when I literally ran into someone. "Hey watch it freak!" It was a really tall and buff dude. "I-I am so sorry" I stepped back. Everyone was looking at us. I even heard someone whisper. "Oh no the new girl ran into Chuck."
Then someone ran up and pulled me behind them. "She didn't see ya man. She is new and you know that. So leave her be." It was Mitch. Chuck nodded and walked away. I was literally having a panic attack because of the last time I was in at school. Mitch turned around and saw me. My face pale and my whole body shaking. I felt the room spinning. "Miah?" he said and then grabbed my waist. "Miah!" It was Owen. "Mitch help me get her outside." They walked me outside and sat me down.
"Whats wrong with her?" Mitch asked. Everything stopped spinning and I just sat there for a moment to catch my breath. Owen looked at me, like asking if he can explain. I nod and he turned to Mitch. "Well she just had a panic attack. When she was in her other school...." I zoned out on what he was saying. I looked past the school parking lot and saw a group of guys. They all had a cigarette in their hands. I watched as they brought it to their mouths and inhale, holding the smoke, then exhaling. I need to know who they are.
"I'm fine now." I said they looked at me and nodded. "Can I be alone please" They looked at me and walked away not asking why. People would walk by and look at me but then this guy glared. As he passed he smirked and whispered "You're just a freak hiding behind your mask of lies." I gasped and he walked away. I shook my head fighting tears. When I was myself again I saw a guy. "Hey I have a question" He turned to me. "Yea?" "Who are those guys?" I asked pointing to the guys smoking. "Well the red head is Nolan. He's a good friend. Why?" I looked at him. "Umm no reason..." he smiled. "youre a smoker huh." I looked around. "Yeah how did you know" He laughed and held out a hand. I took it and he pulled me over to the parking lot.
"Hey Nolan this is my friend...." he looked at me. "Miah" Nolan smirked. "Your the new girl" I nodded. "Why are you bringing her over here bro shes not our type" One of the guys said. "Oh yeah? How so?" "She's too pretty to smoke." I laugh. They look at me. "Yeah ok" I said sarcastically. "So your a smoker? Prove it." Nolan handed me his cigarette. I gladly took it and inhaled. I let it sit in my throat for a second and then let it out, handing it to Nolan again. "Damn I was wrong" I looked around. "Oh! I get it now. Your preppy new siblings don't know about you smoking huh?" I nodded "Yep that's true and preppy?"He nodded. "They are snotty and act like their all that cause they have money."
I stayed with them till lunch was over. I found out all their names. There was Nolan, Kurt, Jazz and then the guy that introduced me was Zeke. They were pretty cool. I went through English and made a few friends here and there some stranger than others. It was now my parenting class it was strange to me because I have never even heard of such a class before. I walked in and sat in a empty desk. I was towards the back, like usual, and watched as guys and girls walked in. I sighed not seeing many people I knew. Then some people I met earlier walked in. There was Nolan, Paisley, Zeke and the girl from chemistry Sasha. Paisley smiled and waved, I did so back, and sat next to me. Zeke and Nolan sat behind me. I looked around the room and their was not many people in this class maybe 20 tops.
"Hey Miah!" I turned around. "Hey guys" I turned back and Paisley was smiling. "So what kind of class is this?" I laughed while asking. "Its a dumb class that you have to take if you don't pick your classes in time." Nolan answered the question for me. "Well they didn't have anything like this where I use to live. What are you even suppose to do?" Paisley answered me this time. "Well its a parenting class so what do ya think?" I just laughed. The teacher came in and she looked way to happy to be here.
"OK class This is parenting class. In this class you will be given a fake life along with parent bills to pay for things you may need. To get parenting bills you have show up everyday and you will get the amount you make thats on your paper at the end of the week, then you can do extra papers for me to earn extra bills. As I come around you will choose a paper and then that will be your fake life. A opposite gender will have the same paper. This class is more of a life class than a parenting class. If you have to come and get a baby then you will meet here after school along with your partner." Everyone sighed over dramatically as she passed out the papers. When she was done she walked over to her desk and sat down. I picked my paper up and unfolded it.
'Your new fake life is what most people dream not to happen. You are single, live in a small house (picture below), then you have twin, newborns. You will make 200 parent bills a week. This life is the harder one but im sure you can do it. As of right now you have 1,000 parent bills for your children. Good luck.'
I shook my head. "Of course I get this one" I whispered. Paisley looked at me and we decided to read each others papers. Paisleys was a easy life. In hers she was married, one baby of 2 months, she had a beautiful house and she made 700 parent bills a week. Not only that she got 3,000 to start out with. The teacher announced that we have to find our partners and she told us different places. "Married goes to the left corner, divorced the right, and single the front of the room.
I walked up to the front and saw Nolan, Zeke, and that guy that called me a freak. "Miah!" Zeke laughed. "We partners?" I looked at his paper and we were not. When I looked up Nolan had already found his partner. The last one left was the guy that for some reason hated me. He smirked. The teacher came over and asked us to show her our paper. "Oh sorry guys you have the hardest life." I shrugged. "Oh ma'am I cant come in after school so Miah said she would for us." She nodded and walked away. As the bell rang he got closer. "My names Axel...Your worst nightmare....I just wanted to tell you I know your secret." He walked away with a smirk on his face. My heart stopped. I felt the room spinning and I walked to my locker then sliding down and covering my face into my hands realizing I was not safe, my life could be ruined.....again....
