Alex and Keagan

Chapter 10

It's Monday and I don't want to go to school.

"Please daddy, I don't feel good. Can I stay home?" And I give him my sad puppy dog eyes that he can never resist.

"No. I'm sorry sweetheart, you can't stay home forever. You have to deal with all of this" dad said and brought me into a big hug.

"I'm sorry this happened. I wish I was there for you more. I feel like I'm a bad parent." He whispered.

"Oh no daddy, you are the best, I promise. It's just your idiot son that ruins everything" I laughed.

"Yeah he is an idiot isnt he?" Dad teased.

Henry came downstairs extra quiet this morning, he knows that I don't want to go to school and deal with this shit that he brought upon me.

We ate breakfast in silence. Henry was texting, and my father was reading the news paper.

"Your rides here" Henry said to me.

"What do you mean?" I asked him confused. "You aren't driving me?"

"Nope" he said. "I gotta pick up Monica, so I called in a favor I hope you don't mind"

Urgh! "Seriously? You can't just drive me? We are all going to the same place, and she is my friend too!"

"Okay it wasn't really a favor...I know I shouldn't tell you this, with bro code and everything, but Alex really wanted to take you to school today. For some unknown reason he likes you"

"Yeah well you ruined that for me. I'm not dating anyone until college now. Thanks" I said.

I got up, grabbed my bag, and walked outside to see Alex in his car waiting.

"Good morning" he said sweetly. "I brought you some coffee from Starbucks."

"Thanks" I said and grabbed it gratefully.

We sat in silence all the way to school. It was the fastest 10 minute drive to school, and I'm dreading going inside.

Alex could probably sense that I was stressed about the situation as he grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.

"It's going to be okay" he said reassuring me. "I'm going to be there for you, whatever you need. Think of me as your personal body guard."

That made me laugh. "Thanks Alex, for everything" I said.

"Anything for you Keagan" he smiled at me.

Here we go. As soon as I got out of the car of course people were staring. People that I didn't even know existed came up to me, giving me lame pick up lines, slipping me their numbers, grabbing at me. The girls were giving me death glares. Apparently I was stealing their men away from them, if you could even call them men.

They are all being childish. I went to my locker to get my books and see some sticky notes with more numbers on them. I ripped them up and threw them in the trash can near by.

"Hey cutie" a deep voice came from behind me. Oh like I haven't heard that one today, I said to myself.

I turned around with a disgusted look on my face to see Garrett, the devil himself.

"What the fuck do you want?" I asked him.

"Don't have to be so rude Keags" he drawled, trying to be sexy but epically failing.

"I came to talk to you, to say I'm sorry" he said.

"Well save it. I don't want anything to do with you." I spat at him.

"Come on Keagan, please don't be like that, it's was just a joke" he pleaded.

"Well I'm not laughing" I yelled. "Do you see what these people are doing? Well jokes on them! Henry is broke, he doesn't even have 500 dollars." I said loud enough so people could hear me, and so know to stop whatever this shit is.

"It's not even about the money Keagan, you are a beautiful girl, and now that yours and Henry's agreement is off, every guy wants you." Garrett explained.

"That's a lie! I'm not beautiful, no guy wanted me before, so no guy should want me now!" I said.

"I always wanted you keagan, we could have something really special. Just you and me, alone, in those nice tiny shorts of yours" he whispered in my ear.

"I'd rather die" I whispered back and slapped him on the cheek.

He growled. "You'll regret that Keagan Brown." He grabbed my arm and started dragging me away.

I tried wiggling out of his grip when he let me go. I looked up to see Alex on top of Garrett punching him senseless in the face.

Poor boy, that was all Garrett had going for him. Now his pretty face is all messed up.

"That's enough" a voice yelled. It was Principal Jacobs. Great someone is going to get suspended. Daddy won't be to happy about this.

"Foster, Brown, Davids to my office! Now!" He yelled.

I didn't even try protesting, he was already pissed enough. Hopefully I can get out of this with only a few detentions.

Many girls would look at my life right now and think, wow she is so lucky. All the boys are after her, and are fighting for her. Well right now I hate my life.

The one thing I want most is to be with a boy that actually cares, and I will never know if he actually cares or if its for this so called "money" that my brother doesn't have, or if it's to brag and say someone actually got her to fall in love since I was off limits for so many years.

I want my life back to normal, I would rather be in the shadows for the rest of high school then to be center stage, with every girl hating me, and every boy wanting me for the wrong reason.

Hopefully I'm not in to much trouble with Principle Jacobs.

This day probably turned out worse then I expected and it's only 2nd period.
