Another day in the hectic hallway. People push past me. They are in a hurry to get to their lockers. I see Raven coming down the hallway. “Ooohhh, I wanna be just like her!” I think to myself. It’s great being Raven’s best friend. She walks in, everything is coordinated. Sigh. She passes by me. “Hey Raven!” I say to her. She looks at me and gives me one of those yes-I-see-you looks followed by a but-that-doesn’t-mean-that-we-are-about-to-have-a-conversation look. “Must’ve been busy.” I thought to myself. By lunch period, teachers have given up on trying to teach us anything. The students either waste class or sleep through it. In the cafeteria, I see Raven and the other cheerleaders. I am dying for some curly fries, but Raven is eating a nice, healthy ceaser salad. I decided, unwillingly, to go with the salad too. I sit down at the lunch table. I guess Raven doesn't see me cause she doesn't say hi. I try to talk to Colleen, but she is busy chatting with Raven about the latest outfits that were in style. I finish up my salad. As I stand up to leave, Raven finally acknowledges me. “Oh Aubrey, I didn’t even see you there.” A smirk spreads across her face. “It’s okay.” I reassure her. At the end of school, my dad is already waiting for me. Doesn’t he have anything better to do with his life? I wonder. I'm still mad at dad, looking forward to tomorrow. Hope everything goes better.
