Chapter 4

Wyatt and I talked all second hour and got to know each other better. He was so charming and cute! I found out he has a younger sister and a baby brother. When I told him I lived with Vance now, he had a weird look on his face, "I feel bad for you." He laughed. "Why-" I was gonna finish my sentence but then the bell rang and Wyatt was gone. All third period, I wondered what he meant by 'I feel bad for you' fourth period came soon and I was so excited for lunch. When I went in, a girl waved to me and pointed at a seat next to her. She was beautiful. She had blackish-brown hair and amber eyes. And her outfit was kind of like mine. I sat next to her and smiled, "Hi! I'm Ayuna Narumi! What's your name?" I asked. "I'm Marissa Conley but you can call me Marie! I saw you earlier today and wanted to talk to you but I was nervous. Plus, I already saw you go to Wyatt." She replied. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see you!" I apologized. "No, it's fine! I just wanted to say, you're really pretty and I was hoping we could be friends if you wanted?" She asked. "Yeah of course! And thank you, I think you're pretty too." I said. She smiled and we talked all hour and had plans to sit together during lunch. I decided I was gonna put my bag in my locker before lunch. As I was, Marie ran up to me, "You need to see this! It's a normal Denver high school fight but it's your first one! Pinball Vance and this random boy are going at it!" She exclaimed. I grabbed my phone and shut my locker. As we were running, I looked at her, "Did you say, Vance?!" I shouted to her as we waded through the crowd of people. When we got to the front, he was on full display. Vance was beating the absolute shit out of this kid. I was horrified. "Jesus fuck." Marie said, "He's really getting him." I couldn't stand this. Seeing Vance like this... I ran into the area where Vance was beating the kid and I pushed him off. Everyone had mixed reactions in the crowd. Vance got up and looked at me. The was blood on his hand and some coming out of his nose. I slapped him straight across the face, "Vance! You know so much fucking better than this!" I cried as he slightly rubbed the side of his face. The kid got up off the ground slowly and ran away. It was just me and Vance now. Everyone was quiet. "And all of you guys are some fucking sick people! Watching this kid get beat... what even was the reason? Let me guess, he messed up your hair, he accidentally nudged you?! Honestly, you embarrass me, Vance. What would Maya think?" I yelled, my voice becoming hoarse. "I'll see you after school Ayuna," Vance mumbled as he walked past me, his shoulder hitting mine. I looked back at him and then at everyone else, "Go to fucking lunch..." I said and walked to the bathroom. I could hear someone following me. I turned around and it was Wyatt. "That's what I was talking about Ayuna. He fights everyone." He placed his hand on my arm, "You really shouldn't be around him anymore." I blushed at his touch. "I practically live with him, Wyatt. There's nothing I can do..." "You can come live with me...?" He suggested, smiling at me. I laughed, "I can't but, I wish." I looked up at him. He grinned at me, sliding his hand down to my waist. I blushed again, "Let's go to lunch." I said and took his hand in mine.

At lunch, Marie ended up sitting with me, Wyatt, and his friend group which was huge. He was so popular, I don't know why he paid any attention to me, but he did. There were lots of boys in his group but one that I took a liking to, was Alexander Gray. He was really nice to me too, but I could tell he liked Marie. The way he looked at her, how he made everyone shut up whilst she talked, and how he listened to her. I've never seen someone do it so intently. I think she notices a little bit. I'd have to talk to her about that.

The hours soon passed and it was the end of the day. I got Wyatt, Alexander, and Marie's phone numbers. I waited outside for Vance, not ready for whatever we'd talk about. He soon came out and we started walking. When we were about five minutes in, he broke the silence, "Don't tell my mom about what happened. I don't want her to worry." "I wasn't planning on it." "Good..." We were soon home and Maya wasn't there yet so I went straight to my room. I pushed my bag onto the floor and lay on my bed. A lot of things happened today. Some I wanted, and some I didn't. Either way, I had to go on with life. I looked at the butterfly necklace that lie on my bedside table. I tried not to think about Vance but that was kinda hard because I LIVED with him. I soon heard the jingle of keys at the front door and knew it was Maya.

(Y'all I had the weirdest dream in existence last night😭 So Brady (Vance's actor)invited me to a party and asked if I wanted to match outfits with him so ofc I said yes and that's what we did. When I got there though, our outfits were barely coordinated and he was talking to some random girl. I tried to get his attention but he didn't notice me so I was like whatever and went to talk to other people. Then, when he saw I didn't talk to him straight when I got there, he got mad and suddenly everyone was mad at me. And ofc I was mad at him too but I didn't say anything and it was this whole crazy dream☺️ I mean, at least I got to see bro in person and he's even more angelic then😍🤞)
