The Preacher's Daughter

Partners.

Demi.

"You totally need a clothes makeover. Tomorrow we're skipping school and going shopping." Selena kept going through my closet. I looked up from my homework. "I can't skip on my second day of school...or at all. My father will kill me."

"C'mon..I've skipped so many times. I'll show you. Trust me,Demi." she gave me a pouty face, I sighed, I looked down at my homework. "I'm not saying I'll go, but I don't have money to buy clothes."

"No problemo. I got my mother's credit card." she pulled out a shiny card and smirking at me. "Fine..I'll go."

She jumped up and down, "Yay!" I had to laugh.

We had dinner and then my dad made us go to bed early. I woke up the next day before Selena and took a shower and ate breakfast with my brother. "So do you want me to take you girls to school?" Matt slurped his cereal. I shook my head.

"We're walking to her house,so she can get changed and all that. Then we're going to walk to school."

"You sure?" he put his spoon down. "Yes, besides she thinks you're cute & I don't there be a connection."

"Trust me, there wouldn't be a connection, except that I'd go to jail for having a relationship with a 17 year old." Matt chuckled to himself. "Okay. Have you spoken to Nicole sense we moved here?"

He sighed, "She hasn't answered her phone...so I think it's over.."

"I'm sorry." I gave him a hug.

Once Selena was awake, I got slipped on a blue and yellow dress. We headed our way to Selena's. "Stay out here.. I'll be fast." Selena hurried inside. I sat on the curb of the sideway and played Candy Crush on my phone.

20 minutes later,Selena stepped out in new clothes. "C'mon." Selena took my hand and ran to another place. McDonald's.

"What are we doing here?" I watched as she pulled out some clothes from her backpack. "Go put this on. You're asking to be bullied in that dress." she judged my outfit, I took the clothes and went to the bathroom.

I put on the black shirt with skinny jeans. I slipped on the shoes and the leather jacket.

I walked out. "Much better. Let's get to school. We have to be in first block,then we can ditch." We walked to school and I saw Joe with his crew.

"Mimi!" Joe nodded his head, I looked away quickly. "You're friends with Joe?" Selena stopped and looked at me. I glanced over at Joe who kept air thrusting at me, I rolled my eyes.

"No. He is just annoying me." I looked over at Selena, "Why?"

"I've been trying to get him to notice me ever since the 5th grade." Selena looked down, I sighed. "I think that's a good thing,Selena. He's a jerk. You deserve someone better. He's a player. Just look at him." I watched him hit on some girls.

"You don't know him." she clicked her tongue and headed inside. I followed, "And you're saying,you know him?" I opened up my locker.

"Nick is his brother,right?" Selena glanced over at me, I nodded my head. I was confused on what she was doing. "Yeah,so their parents had a hard time paying the mortgage and everything. Sadly...their mother lost it..she left everything."

"What about their father?" I grabbed my books, "He...killed himself..Nick saw him hanging in the tree."

"Oh my god." I covered my mouth shock.

"So before you judge someone,know them." she slammed her locker and headed to class. Did I make her mad at me again? I looked over and saw the boys walking in.

"Hey sweet thing." Joe winked at me, I rolled my eyes. I closed my locker and went to class.

I pulled out my notebook and wrote Selena a note.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have judge,but he just gets on my nerves. We still on for the shopping right?-D" I fold the note and passed it to her.

She gave me a glance then she opened it up. She looked back at me and gave me a nod.

"Hey everybody!" Joe chuckled and sat down in the desk beside me, I groaned quickly. "Hey princess." he scooted over. "Bye, peasant." I glared,giving him a laugh. "Good one."

"What do you want from me? Like picking on the new girl,huh?" I rolled my eyes. "You know, when a guy picks on a girl,it means the guy likes them." he smirked,putting a toothpick in his mouth.

"So you like me?" I lifted up my eyebrow.

"Oh hell no." he chuckled,then he covered his mouth, "Oops,sorry. I mean oh heck no." he chuckled. "I pick on you because it's what I do. If I like you, you'd be in my pants right now,sucking my dick." His stupid smirk hasn't left his stupid face.

"I'm glad you don't like me. I wouldn't want a STD from sucking your penny sized dick." I crossed my arms. He threw his head back. "Oh,princess...You crack me up."

I rolled my eyes once more, "So if you like to pick on girls,why don't you pick on Selena?"

"She's a whore." he chuckled,giving a look to Selena.

"And you're a manwhore. Perfect duo, I suppose. Besides,she's not a whore. You don't even know her." I looked at him. He gave me a wink.

"You see, I fuck girls for fun...she...fucks guys for money. Big difference. I make sure they are not whores. They are freaks in the sheets." he chuckled. I looked over at Selena.

I didn't know what to say.

"Plus, I wouldn't fuck my teacher's daughter." he whispered in my ear, I had to giggle at that.

"Welcome." Mr. Gomez walked in.

"HEY, MR. GOMEZ. I'M HERE." Joe yelled,making everyone laugh and including me.

"Joseph,do not yell at me. Congrats on finally being here early. Could there be a girl in this class to make you improve your tardies?"

"No, just that my brother and I got here in time and got some smoking on." Joe put his feet up in the empty desk in front of him.

"Speaking of your brother,where is he?" Mr. Gomez started doing attendance. "He got ISS..apparently he got caught with a girl. Idiot." Joe chuckled.

Mr. Gomez shook his head and continued.

First block finally ended, Selena and I stepped out of school and we started walked.

"Gomez. Lovato." Someone stopped us, we both turned around. Crap, it was the assistant principal. "Hi.." I bit my lip.

"Where do you girls think you are going?" he crossed his arms. "I..uh..." I was shocked. I couldn't speech. Speech,Demi,speech!

"Uh..well..I was going to skip.." Selena nodded her head, we're screwed. I looked at her. I was scared for my life.

"And Demi...was following me..to try and stop me.." he looked at me.

"Is that true,Demi?" I gulped and nodded my head.

"Selena,principal's office right now and Demi, get to class." I rushed back inside and headed to second just in time for the bell.

"So as you see,we're doing a lab today." Mrs. Harris walked in,talking. "So you need a partner, and I'm sending you my trust on picking a responsible partner. That I mean someone who will get the work done and not talk. You have a minute to pick your partner."

Great, Selena was in trouble,so I didn't have a partner. I looked over at Joe,he was just sitting there. He needs to get him a partner. Partner up with your brother!

"Time." The teacher stood up, "Joseph, go pair up with Demi."

Joe got up and sat in the stool beside me, "Howdy partner." he smirked.
