Chapter 38

This last week before Thanksgiving break is full of exams before we have finals for the month of December. I've studied more than I can function lately, staying up late, revising my notes trying to cram it all in. Walking down the hall I see Amy approaching me, unfortunately she only got 30 days in jail and 400 hours of community service, she glares at me as she passes me but I'm so thankful she has moved on and doesn't torment me anymore. My senior year is looking up since I don't have to look over my shoulder and worry about what she'll do next. 6 more months before I'm out of here, where I move in with Gavin and the others in the house we found for college, where my life wont be ruled by a psychotic bitch. When I only coming for the holidays and visits  to my dada and brother. Walking into my last class of the day I see Rhys at the back of the room with an empty seat next to him he pulls it out for me as I make my way to sit beside him. Class goes by fast mostly because Rhys and I talk most of it. We already received our writing assignment for our exam, we're supposed to be getting information on our topics and starting our rough drafts. Fortunately for me I already wrote my rough draft last night so that's why Rhys and I are sitting here talking about Thanksgiving with his family. We've done decided that I will ride down there with him to Gavin's for Thanksgiving since I'm spending the week with Gavin and he will spend a week of Christmas break with me at mine.

Hanging up the phone with my grandmother, I've got Gavin's Christmas gift lined up she will send me the confirmation through email. I'm really hoping he likes it, every year Cutter and I's grandparent give us money for Christmas, being our mothers parents it's like they are trying to make up for her not being here since these past few years they give us more since she died. So this year I called her before they come down and explain what gift I want instead of money this year. Pacing my room I glance at the clock that read 7:32pm I run to the kitchen to check the casserole in the oven before dad and Cutter get home. I let Cutter borrow my car after school today since I was setting up my plan I didn't want to be bothered with picking him up from practice and dad usually gets here by 8pm. I set the timer for 15 minutes and head to take a quick shower before dinner. Standing under the steaming hot water I think about Gavin's gift, he told me once before that he wanted to go here given the chance. Well I'm giving him this chance something to start off the new year together. Smiling to myself I turn off the knob and wrap a towel around my body while using another towel to wrap around my hair. I hear the timer go off in the kitchen, I remove the casserole out of the oven and replace it with garlic toast and rest the timer for 10 more minutes. While that cooks I head to my room to get dressed in my night clothes.

Sitting at the table with dad and Cutter I bring up my Christmas plans with them. "So, um dad don't forget Gavin and I will be gone for a week after Christmas for his gift" he simply nods his head, while Cutter looks at me with amusement. He knows where we're going and thinks Gavin will lose his mind when he finds out and lucky for him he will have a front row seat to his reaction, seeing as I will give him the gift here on Christmas Day. Lying on my bed as I reread over my notes my phone rings with a notification
Hazel-Hey beautiful. I can't wait it to see you this weekend and finally have you all to myself for a whole week ;)
Me-hey handsome, im so excited. A whole week!!
Hazel-yes, baby I have plans for us Friday night so bring dress clothes, you can freshen up when you get here
Me-oh I have plans too ;) and ok baby. Good night I love you
Hazel-good night angel, I love you!

Turning off my phone for the night, I lay in bed and think about next week with Gavin. I plan to lose my virginity with him the day before Thanksgiving, I already have it planned out. Lee is gonna help me get her mom out of the house for the night to do last minute shopping of a dish she 'just has to have' at dinner, while they're out I plan to cook his favorite Italian dish and have. a candle light dinner and with scented candles and music to set the atmosphere in his room, I will show him my new lingerie. I slip into dreamland, dreaming of different scenarios that could happen at that dinner. Waking up to my alarm I thank God it's Thursday which means the weekend is that much closer to being here. Grabbing my bag and jacket I head out the door to start the car getting it warmed up while I wait for Cutter. After 10 minutes he comes out and we head to school, he sees his friends and he waves bye to me as he makes his way into the school with them. I'm so glad he's fitting in and isn't having any problems with other kids, grades or football. Walking to my locker I find a note hanging out of it, thinking nothing of it, I take it and open it. All the blood drains from my face and I can't hear Erica or Crystal beside me as I grip the note in my hands.

Good morning, if you want your brother to play in the next game without injury, you will break up with your little boy toy. I can't believe you would do this to me! I love you! We WILL be together!!!! -FMW

Grabbing the note from me I slide down the locker and put my head in my hands. Why is this happening to me? Who is doing this? I've been invisible almost my whole life and now that Im happy with Gavin some creep wants to come and stake a claim on me and threatening to hurt my brother in the process. I don't think so! "What the hell is this? Who is FMW?" Crystal yells in the empty hallway, I didn't realize the bell had rung already. I take a deep breathe and grab the note from her and head towards the office with both girls following behind me. Opening the door I see Frank Woods siting in the chair in front of the principals office, he's the schools 'bad boy' always getting in trouble, skipping class or not even showing up. He looks up as we three walk in and as I slam the note on the counter I see his eyes widen at the note, giving him a puzzling look he turns his head towards the principals door avoiding my gaze. OMG! FMW- Frank Micheal Woods. His actions towards the note just confirmed my suspicion of it being him. I narrow my eyes at him and his eyes widen even more knowing I know it was him who left the note.
"YOU!" I shout at him while pointing my finger at him, "Why, would you do this? How dare you threaten me" I'm in his face now using my pointer finger to poke at his chest as Erica and Crystal's eyes widen at my statement. The principal decides to make his grand entrance as I keep poking him. "Hey, now what's going on out here?" He booms from his doorway, giving him the note he reads it and Frank lowers his head as he tightly closes his eyes. "Frank, can you explain this?" He waves the note in his face, he stands up and gets in my face. "I've been protecting you since middle school, I love you, I kept that bitch Amy at arms length. I never let her hurt you and what do you do? Come back this year with a boyfriend who does nothing to protect you" he yells in my face spitting out 'boyfriend' with such distaste in his voice. "What are you talking about, you've never said one word to me and know all of a sudden you love me. God what is with people claiming they love people when they don't even know them?" I mutter. The principal grabs Frank by the arm and pulls him into his office, "I'm sorry Bryn. I will handle this you girls may return to class now" he says and tell the front desk clerk to write us tardy slips. After lunch I head home for a much needed nap before I get started on packing for next week. Hurry up Friday!
