love, exams, and a new beginning

hi, well today was my first three final exams for the semester. all of them were pretty easy, for my math exam it was just a test (which i got an 84% on) then my inventions class final exam was to invent a rocket out of a paper bag, 2 paper clips, a balloon, a straw, and some tape and glue. my friend and i partnered up and it took us the whole hour but we managed to make our rocket work! we were also the only team to not have to go back and fix our rocket, our first design was our only design! then there was yearbook class and we didn't really have a final exam we just had to work hard but there is a very egotistical girl who works on one of my pages she puts herself on every fricken page! so aggrevating! also it seems that lately i can't find a good guy. i see all my friends in happy realtionships and it makes me sad that i don't have someone to lean on. there are guys at my school that i have had crushes on but no longer do and i hear the way some of the boys in my school talk and i definitly don't want to date anyone like that. i just want a sweet, funny, guy whose not a total moron. i'm not looking for someone whose super hot or anything. ah well guess i'll have to keep looking. now i better wrap this up before it starts sounding like a dating ad. today also i've decided to post a chapter of a story i'm writing. the story is about a school shooting so if you don't like that then you don't have to read. but i would appreciate if you did! redmoonchick presents a redmoonchick production: "MY friend rory" by: redmoonchick chapter one: three hours after midnight it was about fifteen minutes after three o' clock in the morning on a late thursday night or friday morning depending on how you look at it. it was this morning that i was awake in room darkened except for the glow of the computer screen at the desk by my window. i should've been asleep that night because after all i did have school the next day. i was sitting on my bed contemplating whether or not to go to sleep or just stay up and wait for school to start. i flopped back on to my bed staring up at the celing not really doing anything i wasn't even sure why i was awake everyone else in my home was alreay fast asleep except for maybe my younger brother who was probably watching a movie in his room. my sighs filled the room as i continued to lay bored out of my mind twirling a stand of my dark red hair around my index finger. " i could get on the internet" i thought "yeah i haven't checked my myspace in awhile" i decided rolling out of bed and sitting down at my computer. i glanced at the time in the corner it was almost three thirty i silently logged on to the net and proceeded to go to my myspace page. before i had the chance to log on a instant message popped up infront of me. it was my friend rory from school "why is he up so late?" i wondered for a moment before reading his message: Redking: hey Poeticsoul: hey, what ru doing up so late? Redking: nothing just thinking mostly. what about you? Poeticsoul: the same it was strange rory was never this calm during our net chats. rory was always joking around and saying stupid stuff. i blamed his sudden calmness on it being so late at night but there couldv'e been another reason for it. rory wasn't like anyone at our highschool he didn't dress or act like anyone else there. he was a true individual but it wasn't exactly a good thing. rory's uniqueness caused alot of people to dislike him and even bully him. it was never anything serious and rory could hold his own when it came to verbal fights. today at school was different though during third hour a group of guys ganged up on rory and beat him up in a closed off hallway. rory fought back and got pretty messed up but so did his attackers. rory stayed at school the rest of the day refusing to leave he claimed he was fine but you could tell he was upset: Poeticsoul: are you ok? Redking: just fine y? Poeticsoul: no reason i was just thinking about what happened today Redking: are you kidding that was nothing!!! Poeticsoul: it just looked like it upset you that's all Redking: y would i let those dick's bug me? Redking: anyway new topic: are you going to school tomorrow? Poeticsoul: i was planning on it y? Redking: don't go to school tomorrow "ok that's pretty weird" i thought to myself "why wouldn't he want me at school?" Poeticsoul: y? Redking: just don't alright. you or your brother don't come to school tomorrow! Poeticsoul: i don't think that's a good enough reason to convince my mom i waited for rory to anwser me but he didn't atleast not right away: Poeticsoul: hello? rory? you there? it was atleast two more minutes before rory answered me: Redking: yeah i'm here Poeticsoul: what were you doing? Redking: nothing worth mentioning. now back to the school subject i don't want you to go cause i wanted you, me, and ellie to skip school tomorrow so we can see a movie or something Poeticsoul: well i'll see what i can do but ellie already agreed to this? Redking: yup i talked to her earlier "rory must be upset about today and that's why he wants to skip" i thought "but theres no way my mom's gonna let me miss tomorrow... i'll just tell him that i'm gonna" Poeticsoul: alright rory i'll skip tomorrow. r we gonna meet somewhere or something? Redking: yeah i'll call you and tell you where we'll meet Redking: i'm gonna go to sleep now Poeticsoul: alright i'll see you tomorrow then goodnight Redking: night my conversation with rory left me with an uneasy feeling though i wasn't sure why. after our talk i no longer felt like surfing the net though for some reason i was compelled to visit rory's myspace page which i did. all seemed normal on his site so i read his latest blog entry which i was surprised to see was posted during the three minutes that rory stopped talking to me. i read the post which was short and strange. the post consisted of three words it read: "goodnight and goodbye" that was definitly weird and my first thought was that maybe rory was on drugs or something or maybe he was just going through a depressed phase? either way it just wasn't normal rory. it was then that i remembered something that rory had said earlier in our conversation he had said that our friend ellie was skipping school tomorrow too. was she really gonna? she couldn't picture ellie going along with such a abstract plan. i glanced at the clock once again it was now a minute to four fifteen in the morning. "theres no way that ellie is up" i stated but this whole rory situation felt like a big deal maybe ellie thought so too? i looked up ellies email adress and wrote her a short email: "hey elllie did you talk to rory lately he's acting really strange what do you think? write me back as soon as you read this!!! p.s are you going to school tomorrow? rory told me not to. -layla" i sent the email and decided to log off but not before i checked to see if rory was really off the net. i don't know what i was expecting but he really was off the net. i sighed wondering if i had blown the whole situation out of porportion. i logged off my computer and made my way to my bed flopping down on it to atleast get three hours of sleep. ************************************************** what will happen next time? you'll have to wait till next thursday to find out! (unless no one reads this) ~redmoonchick~
