Brantley's POV
I pulled in Jefferson High School with my angel singing at the top of her lungs "Sweet Home Alabama".  I parked in the same spot I have always park at for the past 3 years. It's towards the back and in the shade cause I have a black truck and black gets really hot. I turned the radio down and I suddenly felt someone hit me on my right bicep. "BRANTLEY KEITH GILBERT! YOU DID NOT JUST TURN DOWN ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER!" "Angel, calm down." "Sorry, I got really got up in the song." "It's okay, I'll make it up to you." "Yay!" I got out of the truck and so did Angel and Justin. We started walking towards the front doors when I felt someone jump on my back. I automatically knew who it was. "Whatcha doin' Angel?" "Damn it! How'd ya know it was me?" "I'm magic." I heard her groan. She jumped off my back cause we were at the doors. We walked in and went to our lockers got our stuff and then went to our first class. Me and Justin have 3,4, and 6 hour together and me and my angel have 1,3,4,5, hour together. Me and angel went to English first. Since its senior year they let us have last hour off. We sat in the back across from each other, where we always sit cause we talk the whole time and never get in trouble. I sat down right as the bell rang and put my bag down on top of my desk and it fell over and when it did my Marlboro Red cigarettes fell on the floor with my white came lighter and textbook. Shit! Luckily, my cigarettes and lighter went under Kelly's desk and she hide them behind her feet. Everybody looked back at me and I said "What? Ya never seen a book on the ground?" They all looked back at the front as Mr. Murphy started teaching. I mouthed 'thank you' to Kel. She looked down at her phone, texting somebody I'm guessing. She looked back up and then my phone went off, but it wasn't on silent. Mr. Murphy just looked back at the whole class, laughed, and then went back to teaching. He's pretty cool. The rest of the school day went on and I was waiting by my Angel's locker. Justin already said he didn't need a ride home so I didn't wait on him. My phone vibrated and I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at it. The contact was 'My Angel'. I bet y'all know who that is.

I hurried out to my truck to find something that pissed me off. A lot.

Kelly's POV
The day drug on and on but finally the last bell rang, well, for the seniors. I was getting all my stuff together when Austin walked up to me. We been talking a lot. No it's not that kind of 'talking'. At least I don't think so.... "Hey Kelly." "Hey Austin." "Need a ride home?" "No, I'm good. I have a ride home." "Oh, okay. Let me walk you to your car." "Oh, um.. Actually Brantley gives me a ride home." I said walking out of the class room with him following me. "Oh, um.. Let me walk you to his truck." "Okay.." We walked out into the parking lot and to Brantley's truck while he kept cracking jokes. I pulled out my phone and texted Brantley. Then Austin said "So.." "So..." "Um.." "Thanks for walking me to his truck." I said pulling out Brantley's cigarettes and lighter then lit one and took a drag. "No problem. I was wondering, can I take you out somewhere?" "Like a date?" "Yeah, I mean, if that's okay with you. he said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Um.. sure. When?" "Uh.." That's when Brantley walked up. "Hey Angel." He looked pissed. Was it cause of me smoking his cigarettes? "Hi B." "So how bout that date?" "Um.. I'll text you." I said while taking another drag. "Okay... bye Kelly." "Bye." He unlocked the truck and we both got in. "So you and Austin?" "No. H-h-he just wanted to go out sometime with me. W-w-we're not dating. No." I was so nervous. I don't really know why. I took another drag as my cigarette was all most gone. Damn it. "Oh..," I said digging around in my bag, "here's your cigarettes and lighter back. "Thanks." He still looked pissed. "Brantley did I do something to piss you off?" I said while putting my cigarette out. "No." "Then what the fuck is your fucking problem? You seem pissed off." I said. Yeah, my mouth has no filter. "I'm not!" He yelled. "Brantley I wasn't born fucking yesterday. Your pissed and I wanna know why." At that time he pulled into my house. "Well, text or call me or something when your not pissed off at me." I said as I slammed the door. I walked straight through the door not even bothering to run and change or nothing. Might as well piss other people off today. "KELLY RAE WILLIAMS WHAT ARE YOU WEARING!!!!" My father and step monster said at the same time. (lol step monster, from pitch perfect.😂😂 Sorry I thought it was funny. Okay back to the story.) "Clothes, would you rather me go around naked. cause I-" "KELLY!" My dad cut me off. "Right here." "Go get out of those ugly clothes and into nicer clothes and then your in your room for the rest of the night." "You can tell me how to live my life. I'm 18!" "I can as long as your under my roof." "Then I'll move. Cause I've been wearing clothes like this my whole life!" "No you haven't!" He said coming closer. "You don't know half the stuff I've done!" "Kelly Williams is that smoke coming from you!?" "Sure as hell is! I'm done with all this shit!" I said running upstairs. "KELLY RAE WILLIAMS WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY AND YOU GET BACK HERE NOW!!" I slammed my door locking it behind me and then started packing my stuff. I could here my dad and step mom arguing downstairs but I didn't care. After 10 minutes of packing all my stuff up I headed towards the door. I only had three bags with all of my clothes and other stuff I needed. They were still arguing when I left so they didn't see me leaving. I put all my clothes and stuff like that in the back and I put my Gibson guitar in the front seat of my truck. I backed out of the driveway as my dad is running after me but all I left behind me was nothing but dust.
