Excerpt:
As I had
already been staring at Alex two rows away, I didn’t miss him cast
a furtive glance in the teacher’s direction before erasing what
appeared to be a name on the right side corner of a worksheet. My
name. On my worksheet. He didn’t even try to glimpse me as he
scribbled his own name down and handed it forward. Perhaps he knew
he would see the expression of utter horror that was steadily warping
my face. I wouldn’t have wanted to see it either.
“Now,
that worksheet will be counted as a quiz grade…” Mrs. Kramer
began.
I didn’t
listen. Alex’s betrayal was gnashing at my insides with teeth of
biting cruelty as bitter understanding of his intentions dawned upon
me with all the force of a tidal wave. I was suffocating under
depths of cold reality, the truth more stinging than his actual
actions—the truth that I was no more than a tool…that it was only
illusion—an illusion I clung to nevertheless because it was all I
could do.
Man,
life can be a bitch.
I
resisted the tears that clumped around my lashes, though the
temptation to burst with them was more than enticing. My hands
balled into fists that I smashed upon my Macbeth book with dull
thuds. I didn’t really like that—Macbeth happened to be my
favorite play of all time, as it made me recall how helpless the
title character was in striving to avoid his Fate at all costs—a
Fate he could not avoid.
