 Francine was happy to be home. She never thought she would ever be happy about that. She went straight to her room. She layed down in her bed. She thought it felt so good to be in a big soft bed. Then again she thought any bed would be better then the one she was stuck sleeping on in the hospital. She hated hospital beds so small and hard. There is no room to toss or turn other wise you were mostly likely going to fall off the damn things. She laughed at the thought. She layed her head down on her soft pillows. She didn't mean to but as soon as her head hit the pillow she was out. She had fallen asleep. It was still early but she was exhausted from all the pain meds they had sent her home with. She was still in pain. She hoped it would go away soon. Then agains he was shot in the stomach she knew it wasn't going to go away any time soon. At least it isn't as bad as it used to be.

 She has slept until the next morning. Her mother had woken her up at about 6:30 am and had asked her if she wanted to go back to school or would like to stay home for the day. Francine shot out of bed like her boyfriend had just purposed.

 "Yes I want to go to school today. Wow I never thought I would say that one." She said with a giggle.

"I never thought you would either." Her mother had replied with a hint of laughter in her voice.

 "Are you sure you don't want to stay home today? You just got out of the hospital." Her mother said trying to convince her to stay home.

"Yes mom I'm sure. Quit being so worried. I miss all off my friend and even some of the teachers." She had told her mother.

"Be careful and safe Francine." Her mother said in a worrisome tone.

"I will mom." Francine walked over to her mother and put her hands on her shoulder and looked her in the eyes and said, "Mom don't be so worried. I will be fine ok?"

"Ok." Replied her mother trying to sound as convincing as she could.

 It didn't work Francine knew better but she didn't act like it. She let her mom think she convinced her she was ok.

 Francine went to her closet and picked out the cutest outfit she could find that was school appropriate. She picked out a pink shirt that said, "Don't stare to hard." and a pair of loose fitting jeans. Having a bullet hole in your stomach kinda prevents you from wearing anything to tight.Francine then went into the bathroom and did her make up. When she was done she looked at the clock. It was quarter after 7. Time to head to the bus stop. Francine headed downstairs and grapped her blue hoodie with her school logo on it. Right when she was about to walk out the door her mother had stopped her.

"Do you want me to drive you to school today?" She has asked Francine.

"No mother I'm fine." She replied.

"Are you sure?" Her mother has asked.

 By this point in time Francine was getting a little annoyed.

"Yes mother will you quit treating me like I'm a damn kid?" Francine had fired back.

"I'm sorry mom. I didn't mean to yell at you.

"It's ok. I'm just worried about you."

"I know you are and once again, I'm sorry."

 Francine walked out the door and down the road to the bus stop. Her brothers were down there already. She had her brothers what was her mom so worried about? They were waiting for about 10 minutes before the bus had pulled up. They were the 1st ones to get picked up. Francine walked on to the bus and the driver had said hello. Francine said hello back and took a seat in row 6. Their next stop was a sub division where one of her good friends Deralyn lived. She couldn't wait to see Deralyn and tell her everything that had happened. When they stopped at the sub division where Deralyn had lived she wasn't there. "I hope I get to see her at school." she has thought to herself. When the arrived at schhol Francine was happy to get off the bus. "I wonder who I will get to see 1st."
