First

Brewing Storm Ahead

It was absolutely great to be back in school and around people again. The month of January has been amazing I was bonding with old friends, hanging out with people again and partying hard. I started trying new things. We mostly partied away from Michelle's house. I started smoking pot and my drinking has gotten heavier, he doesn't like it but at least it takes the stress away for a little while.

Hello Avery, are you on this planet? Zen ask and I snapped back to reality.

Yeah I'm good. What's up? I replied.

Nothing, just wanted to talk. She said.

OK what about something going on? I asked.

No, there's just a rumor going around that Trina is back on the prowl again and she's coming after the lake house this time. We need to get ready for a fight if not a war. She told me.

How do you know so much detail about this, may I ask. I reply.

Everyone is talking about it at the house. I went over last weekend I'm surprised Mitchell hasn't said something to you by now. Taste it I should mention it. She told me.

That's funny as hell. I think I'm gonna have to give Mitchell a call after lunch. I stated.

Now is a good a time as any to tell you, you need to go back to the house full time like today. The cheer bitches have been hanging over there a lot and you are the only one that can get them away from over there. Zen stated.

What are they doing coming over there and when I go over there most days. I said.

Mainly the weekends, when they know you are with me and Devin. She told me.

Well damn! OK. I said. We ate the rest of our lunch while bullshiting about everything that has happened over the last few weeks and came to the conclusion I have to go back.

You need to ignore him for a few days completely. She told me.

No ma'am, I'm going to ignore him till February. Valentine's Day to be exact I'm gonna make him think that I've changed my mind. I replied.

If that's what you want to do then do it. She told me, the lunch bell rang, and we made our way back into the school. I am so in for a fight now and no matter what I have to hold my own till February. The day went by fast the weekend even faster. I was in my own world, and I've talked to mom and dad about possibly talking taking their graduation test early to get out faster, I mean my grades are good and the principal keeps asking me if I'm ready to get out of this place yet. Zane is even talking about jumping on the bandwagon and graduating early just to get a head start on college. I think high school is better for the jocks and cheerleaders.

Mom, I need an answer by Monday. I have a meeting with the counselor and principal at eleven-thirty about the graduation test. I told her while I was getting ready to go out.

Are you going out this weekend or just tonight? She asked.

All weekend. Why do you need me to do something for you? I asked.

No, I'm off tonight and I will be going to see your grandmother tomorrow. Can you stop by sometime this weekend? Mom told me.

Yes actually I can Anglin is coming in tomorrow and she can take me by there around five- thirty. I replied.

Good she's been asked how about you. Don't forget OK. She's stated.

I want. Oh, and I might be moving back in with Mitchell don't get excited, yet we have a lot to work out before we say yes or no to that situation. I told her.

Whatever you decide will be fine Avery. She said.

Don't hold your breath a lot has happened since I moved back in over here in September. I replied.
