Looking through someone else's eyes part two

Here it is. Sorry this is a little longer than the last one.

Part two: Got to get out of this alive.


(So I tried to be her, I stayed quiet all the while Kate’s mother shouted at me. Man, I couldn’t understand why her mother was so mean. The other person who lived in the house was some boy I sometimes saw at school. I don’t remember his name. I decided to not eat breakfast since I didn’t know where everything was. I was standing in the corner waiting for the boy to be done with his breakfast; I had to get out of here. I was startled when her mom started shouting again; “THE BUS IS HERE!!! GET GOING! I CAN’T DRIVE YOU TO SCHOOL. I’M ALREADY LATE FOR WORK!!!” The boy immediately got up and grabbed my hand: “Lets go,” he said while racing us both out the door. Once we were on the bus I felt some relief, it must be really hard to be her in a week. The boy just looked out the window like it was something he’s seen a whole century than a few weeks. I had to figure out who he is. “So…. uh um listen, I forgot your name, I’m sorry but can you tell me who you are?” I felt real bad when he looked at me funny, he sighed and then began. “My name is Mark remember!! I’m the son of your mom’s boss living at your house until my dad says we can move again.” He sighed when he said that. “ And to top it all off we are secretly dating behind your moms back. How’s that?” “Thanks.” I was actually shocked when I heard this. Kate had looked so shy when I saw her at school but in her life, she had a boyfriend and was living in a nice house. So why had she said she didn’t want to be born? I had to figure this out, but how? When we got to school I didn’t know which class to go too. Man, I wished I paid more attention to which class she ran off to. So I decided to ask Mark. “Mark, listen I’m sorry about what happened on the bus. But, I don’t know which class I’m in. Can you help me?” Mark sighed and took my hand again and whispered: “You owe me Katy.” I sort of smiled when he said that. If I saw Kate I was going to call her that. Mark led me from class to class sometimes he would tell me what happened in his class, which the only ones he talked about were his least favorite classes. When it was lunchtime he said he had to go to gym, with a quiet groan he left me. I was totally having fun especially when I would ask him little questions. When I went to the get some lunch there she was. It was me; well I think it was me except I was by myself. I usually sat with a bunch of my friends, but I was in Kate’s body and she was in mine. I guess she doesn’t want to act like me. So I decided to go over there and talk to her. When I sat down she looked shocked.
“Hi” I said. “Hi” she stuttered out, barely saying it.
“So how are you enjoying my life Katy?” She scowled at me like I had said she wasn’t pretty or she had a huge zit on her face. I just smiled and waited for her answer.
“I its s f fine.” She looked like she wasn’t feeling well; I guess that’s how she looked when she was scared. I always saw this expression when she talked to people.
“Why are you afraid of me? I didn’t do anything to you.”
“I’m not afraid I just sometimes stutter, it’s kind of hard to be you ya know. What do you want anyway? Are you gonna tell me I am a major loser and I should return to my own body? I may not be a people person but I’m not a sea witch who can switch body’s with every time I snap my fingers”
“Yeah I guess not, but I’m not either. Well at least can you tell me about your life then? So I can have everything straight? I don’t want to look like a fool in front of your boyfriend or dare I say it your mother”
“Ugh, I forgot all about him. And about my mom, don’t do anything to upset her. And if anything happens when she comes home tonight, just listen to Mark he’ll know what to do. And the whole story thing, I can’t do that.”
“Why not? It’s your life”
“Cause I don’t know all of it, tomorrows Saturday go visit my grandpa and ask him. Maybe even ask him about people switching bodies. He’ll get a real kick out of that.”
I shrugged“ Fine your grandfather just make sure you watch the news about another heart attack happening.” She laughed. I was actually having fun with this girl. Huh. “Ok now that all the jokes are over.” She looked at me like I was going to tell her that some new crime had happened. “Can you please tell me what Mark likes so I can give him something. I owe him for taking me to all your classes.”
“What??? How did he tell you that you owed him?” I told her what his exact words were. And her eyes grew very wide “Oh great listen, just tell him that all the amp’s are in the cupboard on top of the refrigerator. That should hold him off until you go buy some more.” “What good will that do? He’s just going to get a sugar rush from the sugar plus the guarana.” “Just do it. And I think you better go Mark is waiting for you. Have fun”
I just nodded and then got up. After school when we got home, I was actually glad that Kate’s mother wasn’t home. The women freaked me out. I had already told Mark what Kate told me on the bus so he went straight to the cupboard. I went straight to Kate’s room; I was going to go look for her diary. I couldn’t find it so I decided to take a shower. After I was done I laid down and I was out in one minute. After a few hours I don’t know how many, I heard a door slam it sounded like a car door. And then I heard a bunch of footsteps running up the stairs; I wonder what’s going on? I sat up and saw Mark running into the room, taking my hand and leading me out of Kate’s room. “What’s going on????” I said it barely came out, because I was still drowsy. “Your mom’s drunk again, I hate it when she does this. You need to hide in my room for the rest of the night!!! I don’t wan your mom to do anything she would not regret” Mark led me to a small little door, and opened it and immediately pushed me in. “Hey!!! What are you…” but before I could say anything else someone shouted: “KATE!!!! MARK!!!!! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!!!” Mark gasped and started to put down the door. “Mark I’m scared, what is she going to do to you?” When I said that he stopped what he was doing and knelt down so he could look me in the eye. “Don’t be afraid. Honey, I’ll deal with this and be right up. Just get up there and hide yourself. And don’t listen to what your mother says, Okay?” Then he leaned in and kissed me. When we heard someone stomp their way up the stairs he quickly slammed the door shut and hit something to get the shaft pulling me to the attic. When I got there, I decided to listen to the floor to see what Kate’s mom would say. “MARK, WHERE’S KATE???” Yep her mother was drunk I could hear her hick up a bunch of times before he answered, “She stayed at school for a little while longer.” “WHY???” I heard footsteps until something hit the wall with a light thud, was Mark backing up? “Kate is doing a play in English literature class.” I heard a big crash with a sound of breaking glass; I hope he ducked when that happened “WHY DIDN’T SHE CALL ME???” “She didn’t want to bother you at work.” There was another crash and this time it sounded like something other than glass, wood? “UGH, WHY DOESN’T YOUR DAD JUST MOVE YOU AND KATE SOMEWHERE ALREADY!!! I’M TIRED OF TAKING CARE OF YOU BOTH” “He doesn’t think it’s a good idea right now. But I promise, if we do move I will take care of your daughter.” Wow, he must really like Kate if he did all this. Hmm, maybe I’ll tell Kate the next time I get to talk to her. I think he was going to say something else but he was interrupted. “UGH!! I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. I’M GOING TO BED, GOOD NIGHT.” Then I heard some steps until there were no more. I went straight to Mark’s bed, so it looked like I wasn’t listening in on the conversation. When Mark came in he had a bunch of scratches on his face, and when he saw me he sighed and slid down to the floor. I went over to hug him; I guess that’s what Kate would do. I guess I would have to do this until I could get Kate and me back to normal “Do you have anything to do tomorrow?” He looked at me with a question in his eyes “No, I only have to do my homework. Why?” “Do you know where my grandpa lives?” Now he looked even more confused “Yeah just down the street. Katy will you please tell me why were going to your grandfathers house tomorrow?” I took a deep breath to compose myself “We are going to see him I haven’t seen him for a while, I want to ask him a few questions.” And with that, I went to the other bed that was up here and fell asleep right when my head hit the pillow.)
