'Til We Meet Again Book 1

Chapter 8

Today is the day I'm not looking forward to. Usually I don't mind going to school or anything like that but today after school I have to pick up Kristy and head over to my moms house. My dad didn't come home at all last night which is strange because he usually comes home drunk or high around 3am. After me and Marshall cleaned up the whole house, we had dinner and Marshall had to leave because his mom angrily called him to come home.

My morning went pretty slow and now I'm on my way to school after dropping Kristy off to school. As I'm walking listening to Biggie on my walkman, I feel a tap on my shoulder, I get scared that I almost hit this person with my clenched fists in the head "Woah" I turn around and see Marshall looking scared "Easy tiger" I laugh "I'm so sorry" I pull him for a hug "So you can fight?" He asks me "I learned how to fight when I was 7" I tell him as I pull away from the hug "What were you listening to?" He asks me as he looks at my walkman

"I was listening to Biggie" His eyes widens "I didn't think you were into that kind of music" I cross my arms over my chest and raise my brow "Why? Because I'm a girl" I ask him feeling just a little offended "No Amanda, you can be a girl and listen to rap, I just assumed you didn't like this kind of music, I assumed you were into that pop shit" Marshall sighs "There is a lot you don't know about me" I smirk "Clearly, you nearly used my head as a tennis ball" He laughs "I'm sorry about that by the way" I put away my walkman in my backpack "It's cool, no worries"

He offers me a kind smile "How was your morning?" He asks me as I throw my backpack over my shoulder "Not bad, what about you?" I ask him "Fucking terrible" He sighs "What happened?" I ask him "My fucking bitch mom told me to get the fuck outta her house because I didn't wanna go to school since I was hungover from last night" He laughs "You partied?" I ask him assuming that he went to a party "Yeah, I partied with Doodie, Bugz, Kuniva, Swifty, Rufus, Shanice and Denaun last night, they are the coolest motherfuckers you'll ever meet" He chuckles "I can't wait to meet them" I giggle "I had a big fucking head ache so I asked my mom "hey, can I stay home? my head hurts like a bitch" and she was like "get the fuck outta my house, you fucking prick" and then I was like "Fine, you fucking bitch I don't even wanna be in this goddamn house any longer with your drunk ass" and she threw my backpack at my head" He laughs out loud

"I don't find this very funny" I tell him "Lighten up, this is what me and my mom are like" He shakes his head laughing "Did your dad come home last night?" Marshall changes the subject as we walk to school "No he didn't come home at all last night" I shake my head "How come?" He asks me as we step inside school grounds "I don't know, I guess he spend the night at some bitches house or something" I shrug "Reminds me of my mom" He laughs. I don't find it very funny how his relationship with his mom is like but then again I barely have a relationship with my mom so who am I to judge "God, I'm not looking forward for this day" I groan "Why?" Marshall asks me confused

"Because I have to go see my mom today" Marshall looks at me even more confused "Yeah, you see my life is a mess" I nervously chuckle "Same, girl" He laughs "A couple months ago my dad sent me a picture of him with a surf board he had made and expected me to respond" Marshall rolls his eyes "I thought you weren't in contact with your dad" I say "I'm not but my aunt Edna is" He tells me "Who is Edna?" I ask him "She is this sweet old woman I refer to as my aunt since Edna is a really big part of my life" He smiles proudly "We should get together one day and meet her" Marshall suggests "I don't think so" I say nervously "Why not?" He asks me raising his brow "What if she doesn't like me?" I ask him

"Are you kidding?" He begins to laugh "What's so funny?" I ask him confused "You are cute, you know that" Marshall giggles and I don't really say anything "She is gonna love you" Marshall now says "Really? Does she get along with your girlfriend?" I find it weird how he would say that Edna is gonna love me when me and Marshall are only friends. Doesn't she love his girlfriend? "Kim? No they don't get along at all" He shakes his head "Why?" I furrow my brows "Because Kim is a fucking bitch that's why" He rolls his eyes.
