Living with the trouble maker

Chapter 20 (Shane ) {Pics in The Hallway}

I know why Derek told Kendall all those things . He sees me as a threat . Somehow that makes me. Feel good that he even could even think I could stand a chance with her . But I hate that she knows that stuff . But she didn't really seem to upset by it . She still hung out with me .
But still Derek has to pay but I will be easy on him .

I was the one that tipped the school about the peek hole . I was the one who started it but that was a long time ago . I have not even look in it in a very long time I can't even remember it has been so long ago .

       " Hello " Gunner says with a grin
He is so like uncool . But I talk him into things . I just know he will .

           " Thanks Gunner for meeting me ." I say to him

             He hands me the picture.
Ok I wanted  to go easy on Derek but I know this information so I guess I will just use it .

There is a girl in our school her name is Ruby Fileds
She is over weight and a nerd .
Derek hooked up with her last year a couple times in secret but I happen to see them 2 times that I know of .

      So I took pictures thinking maybe I would need it someday . I guess today is the day.

           " It gonna happen any second " Gunner tells me

Everyone is walking in the halls and they open their locker  as me and Gunner watch .

I laugh at some of their expressions .

I see Derek he looks as though he is about to cry .

       " This not real it has been photo shopped " Derek screams

The hallway is filled with laughter .

            I look at Kendall she is just looking at the picture . Then she looks at Derek who is still trying to convince everyone it is a fake .

She looks around at all the high schoolers laughing at Derek , her face has a sympathetic look on it .

Did I somehow unknowingly bring them closer .

               " Scream to Kendall Meddler " I demand

       " Why " Gunner asks

I slap him in the back of the head and say
              " Just do it "

       " Kendall Meddler " he screams

She looks at us . She appears to be I don't know like scared.

She walks over slowly like she don't want to be there .
My feelings are a little hurt then I realize when she says

        " Gunner I really need to get home "
That she don't want to be around Gunner after him trying to ask her out . I feel relief.

    " He was just wondering what you thought about them pictures" I speak up

          " Well it is strange , like who cares but he is obviously embarrassed by it " she says

  And she looks at him , I can tell she feels sorry for him , he is going up to people calming it is not real .

Her hair looks so good and neat today . Her outfit is fitting her just right and showing off her tanned legs.
I could stare at her all day but I need to get back in reality.
              " He should be she is the worst girl in school " Gunner says

Kendall makes a strange face at him .

           " She is a person and if he did hook up or whatever with her then he shouldn't be acting like this I am sure it would be hurting her feelings and if he didn't do it then I guess he has a right saying he didn't . " she says

    " Ruby is actually a nice girl so I hear " I say
I did hear that so maybe I shouldn't have done this to her I didn't even think about her getting hurt in this . I feel like a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.

           Kendall Looks at me . And again like so many times before something is pulling me toward her . Our stare at each other is intense .
Maybe it's my southern ways and her big city ways just drawing me in .
          " Hey Kendall I want you to know this is not real " Derek says as he walks up

      " It is strange thing for it to be plaster all over school ." She tells him

      "yea seems like someone wanted to get back at me ." He says

          " If you did it and lying then you are hurting that girl with your denial " Kendall says

        " I didn't though " he lies

        " I shouldn't even try to tell everyone it ain't true your the only one I care about knowing the truth , because I didn't do it and I don't want some fake pic to ruin my chances with you ." He adds

I have to admit that was a good line , But I hope she is smarter than that .

               " Oh ii need to get home " she stutters
I know she didn't know what to say to that .
But she didn't jump into his arms so she may not like him as much as I thought she did .

As I walk in the parking lot I see Ruby sitting in her car and she is crying .

This is affecting me . I feel really bad for her . And I ashamed it is my fault.

I walk over to her and knock on her window .
She looks up and wipes her eyes and rolls down the window .

" Can I help you with something?" she asks

" I just wanted to see how you was ." I state
Which is stupid she is crying her eyes out so I know she ain't doing good .

" Oh just peachy my life is destroyed " she says and cry's at the same time

" I know it is embarrassing but you are stronger than this " I tell her
I don't know why I chose those words but I did

Her eyes now seemed filled with hope so maybe my words helped . I hope so because I caused her this pain .

" It was a low thing to do leaking those pics " I say out loud

I was thinking it because I feel so guilty over it .

" But you know what hurts the most is the fact that Derek was lying saying it was not real , like it is so bad to hook up with me that he has to lie about it " she says and the tears are rolling to .

" Derek is a f**king idiot " I say but I do mean it

" well I am a fat idiot for believing he could ever like me he couldn't because I am fat it is that simple " she say

" You are being hard on yourself , but you know if you want to Lose weight there are ways" I tell her

" not for me I have tried ,it got to the point where it was like what is the use I am starving myself and nothing is happening " she says and dried her tears

" you know there are these clinics they give weight loss shots , it curves your appetite , my cousin did it and it worked for her , you have to have a parent signature but it is supose to work and it is healthy and it can't hurt because it just curves your appetite " I tell her

" really thank you I may try that " she says
And she smiles she actually has a pretty smile .

I feel better like maybe I helped her somehow .
But I am still the one that caused it .
