Bully Me No More

10

*RAIN*

I was shocked at the fact that I was happy to have seen Roc at the movies, even though I could guess who he was with. It caught my attention to see him wearing a bright white shirt, because I too was wearing one, except it had lace sleeves. When Jake called me to him I smiled at Roc and walked to him.

"Who was that?" Jake asked.

"Oh, no one."

"I might look a little scrawny, but I'll beat up that kid, you're still my little sister."

I laughed and looped my arm through his before squeezing his muscle.

"Bro TRUST me. You don't look scrawny."

~~HOME~~

I crawled into bed after taking a long warm shower. School and the movies really wore me out, I was excited to sleep! As I layed in bed, eager for sleep I found myself thinking about school. It's been so much better without the guys bothering me, now I have a lot of friends in dance class too, slowly I'm becoming less and less anti-social. With the help of Roc and his "crew" leaving me alone and also due to Angie helping to break me free of my tight shell.

My phone vibrated, causing me to jump. I sat up and pulled it off the carger before laying back down with it in my hands. I had a new text from an unknown number.

?-Rain? 

Me- yes. Who is this? 

?-This is Roc, from school

I laughed. He could've just said Roc. How many other guys do you know named Roc? One right? Same. Well..with the exception of Dwayne the Rock Johnson, but there's a K after the C in his name.

-Lol, ok. How did you get my number?

-I have ways.

I was confused as to whether or not I should be ok with him texting me so I didn't answer. A few minutes later he texted me, causing my phone to vibrate and wake me up.

Roc- Please don't ignore me...

I rubbed my eyes and sighed before replying.

Me- Please just stop ok? I'm really tired and I just wanna go to sleep.

Roc- Talk tommorow?

Me- Maybe. Bye.

~~NEXT MORNING~~

I woke up and grabbed my phone 10:45 it said. The little white envelope in my notification bar let me know I had an unopened text message. At 9:23 Roc texted me: Good morning beautiful.

Despite my confusing feelings towards him I smiled. Before replying I brushed my teeth and ate a Cinnamon Toaster Strudel with a glass of cold milk. I figured "He can wait".

Me- Hi Roc.

Roc- Finally! :) Hey Rain.

Me- Soo...

Roc- Sooo..

Me- Roc what do you want?

Roc- To see you.

Me- Why?

Roc- Because I miss you!

Me- Too bad. I have plans today.

Roc- To do what?

Me- NOT that it's any of your buisness, but I'm watching movies and eating unhealthy food with my bestfriend..my couch!

Roc- I like candy, movies, and...couches.

Me- So??

Roc- Can I join you?

Me- Nope.

Roc- Why not?

Me- Because Roc, just no.

Roc- :( But...Rain.

Me- No!

Roc- What if I bring candy?

Me-...

Roc- Please!!?

Me- Ugh fine.

I really didn't want him to come, but now I could use the excuse of me being too lazy to walk to the corner store for candy.

Roc- Be there in 30! :)

Me- K.Bye.

As if on cue Jake descended from the stairs.

"Hey sis!"

"Hi Jake, I'm having a friend over. A boy."

"Does mom and dad know?"

"Nope. I'm telling you."

"Oh!" He winked. "Ok."

"No!" I gasped. "It's not like that. We're just watching movies."

"Oh. Lame."

"Whatever. Just please don't be annoying."

He rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen. I rushed up the stairs and up to my room for a change of clothes. Because of the rainy weather that we were still having here in Florida, I didn't want to over do it with my apparell. I tied my hair in a ponytail , put on a plain over sized black shirt and some shorts that you almost couldn't see past the edge of my shirt.

"Aye! Don't get pregnant." Jake said as we passed each other on the stairs. I laughed and kept on walking. Yeah right! Ewww heck no! I dropped some blankets on the couch and microwaved popcorn. My phone vibrated on the counter and I rushed to retrieve it and open my new text.

Roc- Is jeans and a shirt over doing it?

Me- Yeah, a T-shirt is fine, but maybe just sweats?

Roc- Ok. I'll be right there!

Me- Can't wait! J/K

I had to add the J/K because I didn't want him to know how I truly felt, that would make him too happy. When someone knocked on the door I jumped, and was relieved to not see Jake run downstairs in an attempt to beat me to the door.

"Hi." He said sweetly.

I looked past him, and at the rain falling down past the edge of the roof. He set his umbrella against the wall outside the door, causing me to bring my eyes back to him.

"Hey." I replied with a nonchalant tone.
