5 Jordan Not In School

I woked up late today, couldn't give myself a reason to go to school. I kept rolling on the bed like a fool, just when i thought the day was weird enough for me i heard a knock on my front door. I was shocked by the early morning visit but still stood up to get the door sluggishly.

And behold, it was the last person i did expect on earth Kathryn.

"There is no need to stare at me like that...i decided to forgive you" she declared feeling proud. I couldn't careless of her stupid speeches, i gave her tight hug out of over excitement.

📓 📓 📓 📓 📓 📓

"We are already in school, there is no need to prove stubborn about this" she kept reassuring me as she kept dragging me along with her to school. We are right in front of our school gate making a public nuisance out of each other

"Am too young to die" i cryout loud to her as i free my hands from her grips

"And who said you are going to die?" she asked feeling irritated already "where was yesterday courage you used and talk back at Jordan"

"I lost it on my way home yesterday" i replied trying to fake tears out of my eye by buring my face on my thighs.

"Oh my God...you are so miserable" she declared laughing her ass out "will you stand up please, we are running out of time"

"No, you go ahead like you always do" i said sitting comfortably on the floor.

" I heard Jordan is not coming to school today" i heard one of the girls in front of the school gate saying with sadness written all over her face.

"Isn't this the first time this is happening... Jordan not being in school?!! the other girl asked dramatically and shocked, i didn't even waste my time, in a flash i ran straight towards those girls with high hopes

"Do you mean Jordan Tucker?!!!i asked with anticipation and excitement written all over my face

"Of course, who else would we be referring to?!!!!she replied furiously and walked out with the other girl.

"Yesssss!! I scream out in excitement as i jump from side to side.

"You are totally hopeless" Kathryn stated as she pull me by my bag into the school premises, she was obviously excited too.

If i was asked the most happiest day of my life, i will gladly pick today. Classes were strangely exciting, Jordan's friends have been strangely avoiding me, the cafeteria that was the last place i would rather go to eat, became a place of fascination to me. Me and Kathryn kept hanging around each other throughout. I wished today never ends, but i never thought my wish could come through until after school when our classroom teacher asked us to wait for an important announcement. I love the way the man talks, he talks like someone who has something stock in his throat, i giggle anytime i hear him talk.

"Well, as you all know, Jordan Tucker isn't in school" i don't know, i find the way he opened his announcement to be very very annoying. "Well, Jordan Tucker won't be coming back, he's been transfer to another school...."

After those words everything else in my head went blank. Not be coming back, why? Did something happen?!!! I just can't help but ask. Why aren't i excited? He's my bully, i should be happy right....

"Congratulations!!!! Kathryn excited voice brought me back to reality. "Aren't you excited?!!

"Hurray...he won't come back" trying so hard to show the excited side of me

"Am obviously not buying that" seeing directly through my pretence and feeling disappointed. Picking up my bag for me "let's go home"

I walked sluggishly behind her, as we made our way to the bus stop. We sat down waiting patiently in silence for the bus arrival.

"What do you really want? I don't get you" Kathryn finally broke the silence

"I don't get it, i saw him yesterday" trying so hard to figure the whole scenario.

"Look, he's not coming back. Shouldn't you be happy"

"Am happy..

"No you are freaking not" she lash out at me "stand up the bus is here" pointing at the direction of the moving bus.

After what look like eternity, i go to my destination, alighted and walked down home in silence. I just couldn't accept the reality in front of me no matter how hard i try.

I walked into my room and collapse on the bed looking straight at the ceiling. All my life no body ever paid attention to me, even though Jordan was a complete jerk, he till took the time to notice every slight changes in me which i greatly appreciate. Throughout the period of my grandma death, he never bullied me even when i was sick and tried really hard to hide it, he till notice it.

"What an idiot...you are free for once, stop thinking about those things" trying hard to divert my attention but it just not working out for me today.

Jumping up from my bed. "Let turn a new page"

"Fighting!!! I screamed out loud."who the f**k am i kidding, Jordan isn't coming....
