Mimi shuts the phone off and angrily throws it onto her bed. She grabs her hair in frustration. She looks at the clock and grabs her purse, her notebooks, and her car keys. She looks at her notebook and throws her keys back onto the bed. She opens her notebook up to a blank page and grabs a pen out of her purse. She begins to write.
Ryan,
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hangin'
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of our memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
So much for my happy ending
Hope you're happy. YOU did this to us!
Mimi tears the page out of her notebook and lays it down on the bed. She closes her notebook, puts the pen back into her purse and heads for the door.
A little while later, Mimi pulls up at school. She shuts off her car and looks at her clock. She is a half an hour late for first period. She runs towards the school. She opens the front door and runs in where Ms.McGee is standing by her office. Mimi bites her bottom lip as Ms.McGee looks at her.
[:*:- < Ms.McGee > -:*:]
Mimi Morgan... you did decide to come to school today. Certainly not on time.
[:*:- < MiMi > -:*:]
I'm sorry Ms.McGee i'm having a really hard morning, It won't happen again.
[:*:- < Ms.McGee > -:*:]
You wouldn't be having a bad morning if you weren't living with a guy during high school! They're nothing but trouble and certainly, you cannot possibly stay 110% focused on school, living with a boy!
[:*:- < MiMi > -:*:]
Yes i can too! Ryan has never gotten in the way of my school work.
[:*:- < Ms.McGee > -:*:]
Mimi... i'm going to have to be forced to give you a detention...
[:*:- < MiMi > -:*:]
Noooo come on Ms.McGee, i'm just having a rough morning, that's all. I don't have time for a detention!!
[:*:- < Ms.McGee > -:*:]
Why? You dont' have a job... your parents by you anything and everything you want.
[:*:- < MiMi > -:*:]
But Ms.McGee....
[:*:- < Ms.McGee > -:*:]
You will serve your detention Mimi. Now get to class.
Mimi sighs and walks past Ms.McGee, slowly to her first period class. She opens the door and the teacher and students look at her. She sighs.
[:*:- < MiMi > -:*:]
What?
[:*:- < Mr. Kearny > -:*:]
You're late, that's what...
[:*:- < MiMi > -:*:]
Yes, I know I am. And Ms.McGee just gave me a detention so you can save the trouble of giving me one.
[:*:- < Mr. Kearny > -:*:]
*sighs* just take a seat Mimi.
Mimi walks past students and goes and sits in the back with her friend Jessica. Jessica looks at her.
[:*:- < Jessica > -:*:]
You look like hell! what happened?
[:*:- < MiMi > -:*:]
Thank's a lot.
[:*:- < Jessica > -:*:]
No, i'm not saying it to be rude... You just, look like you're having a hard morning...
[:*:- < MiMi > -:*:]
Yeah... I am. Ryan went out last night and decided that he wasn't going to come home at all...
[:*:- < Jessica > -:*:]
He didn't come home last night?!?!
[:*:- < MiMi > -:*:]
Shhh no. And i'm SOOOO mad. I'm late because I had to write him a letter. I think i'll be moving back in with my parents tonight.
[:*:- < Jessica > -:*:]
I'm sorry Mimi. If there's anything I can do...
[:*:- < Mr. Kearny > -:*:]
Um... Ladies!!
[:*:- < Jessica > -:*:]
Sorry Mr. Kearny...
Jessica goes back to taking her notes. Mimi sighs and puts her head down on the desk.
