Amelia's pov
I was currently waiting for the bus tapping my foot continuously on the pavement. A habit I have been doing whenever I am anxious.
Yesterday when I heard them fight I was totally devastated at first. Sex. It was what my dad was angry about. He wanted my mom to sleep with him and just because she didn't want that...things took a turn . I was even more disgusted by him now.
How can he force someone to have sex with him...even if she's married to him this doesn't mean that she has an obligation towards him and his sexual needs.
I cancelled with Nick yesterday . I couldn't bring myself to tell him that my father is such a disgusting piece of shit. I know I should respect my dad but how can I when all I have seen is him beating my mom to pulp since the day I was born.
Yesterday I just finished my homework and got to bed without any notice to the out side world. Today however I am going to school and I don't feel a thing about yesterday. I don't know I just feel okay..like every other day in my life.
Is this mentally healthy? Omg I don't know....
The bus arrives and I get on it. I see a seat empty beside a boy whose head is covered with a hood. Its not that cold I don't know why is he even wearing a hoodie in the first place. Who cares!
I take that seat . He doesn't notice and I don't plan on bothering him.
We arrive at school just on time and as I get off the bus I notice Chase, Asher, Patrick , Jake and Nick getting out of their cars and god did they look like highschool students? No! Did they look like freaking models .? Yess! Yess! A hundred times yes!
As I try and approach them I see Rachel and Amanda talking and laughing together with the boys . All of them looked gorgeous and happy. I see and a soft smile appears at my face . These people have my heart. Truly.
I jog towards them and yell " heyy guys" they stop and I am welcomed by a familiar warmth.
The girls gimme a hug and the boys offer some curt nods.
" We all arriving together...must be a magical event I think" says Jake and we chuckle.
" Where's Jessica Chase?" I ask
" She's sick. Last night we were out late and now she has cold and flu." He says with a frown.
" Oh! Pass me her number. I'll check on her. " Says Amanda surprizingly leaving us all shocked.
Just yesterday she wasn't acknowledging her own friends and now she wants to check on a girl which isn't even a part of the group let alone her own friend. She has never even talked to the girl.
" What? Do you even talk to the girl Manda?" Says Rachel
" No but how else we'll get to know her. I am just trying to be nice. You might want to try that too. " Says manda making the atmosphere even more tensed than it was
" Yeah...um she's right. You send her number to the group chat Chase. We'll check on her and try to be friends. " I say trying to clear the air
" Okay! " Says Chase and moves ahead with Asher.
Asher gives me a look as if saying...we seriously need to talk after what happened right now . I give him a nod
" You know you guys should clear it all with Manda right? " I hear Nick say in my ear.
" We'll discuss this later. Bye " I say and grab Rachel for our first class
" Bye guys we have a class together so we're just gonna go...see ya at lunch. " Says Rachel as I drag her leaving Patric, Jake, Nick and Amanda.
Amanda's pov
Rachel and Lia flew !
Well not literally but yeah metaphorically sure they did.
I love the girls being honest but sometimes...ugh well most of the times I end up being selfish I guess. I put my feelings and thoughts above all without even realising it and it's not selfish or toxic but doing this continuously with your bestest friends can be toxic and I do realise it. I hope I can fix it though.
" What's your first class?" Surprizingly asks Nick
" AP mathematics I guess" I say checking my schedule on my phone...yeah I lost the hard copy but whoohoo I did use technology
" Woah.. you're that smart?" Says Jake and not in a funny way
" Its nothing people can't do. We all just think that mathematics is tough but it's just a play of numbers really. This is the only subject I love and pass very easily " I say and make my way through the halls.
My class starts a bit late so I decided to stick with these guys.
" What classes do you people have?" I say
" Don't know "
"Don't care"
Patrick and jake simultaneously
I look towards Nick in some sort of expectation
" Well... I have no clue.. I am here just because..ughh I was bored I guess?" It came out more of a question than that of an answer.
Morons!
" You guys are serious?" I say not believing them
" Absolutely " said the three and laughed
Well they don't care about school and studies so why should I force them.
I laugh along with them
" What are you guys gonna do?" I say
" Weed" " cigarette " " I have beer"
Jake , Nick and Patrick say
" Do the girls know?" I ask
There's no way Amelia would allow all of this. She has a problem of fixing shit and this is exactly she would have done. The girl doesn't know how to mind her own business when it came to fixing things or rather people
" NO ! And you my love are not telling her" says jake as he drapes his hands around me
" Okay....tell what exactly?" I say and chuckle
" Excellent" says Nick giving me the most heartwarming smile
Oh I love this boy
" You know how Lia gets about us being on track, skipping classes , having alcohol or parties right?" Says Patrick
" I know but umm don't you guys think you should really focus on studying a bit? I won't say anything about alcohol or weed because that's your life you guys are deciding to play with but studying seems important." I say
Well atleast I did the formalities now its upon them.
" We know and we do study when the exams are near also we know what questions we're getting in exam a day before it. Some secret source." Says Jake and laughs
" Well then ...you guys enjoy I have class ..bye…!" I say and take my leave
What a waste of people I have been hanging with..
I mean not studying? Alcohol? Weed?
What's next now? Drugs or steroids?
They're not even into sports
Stupid people...
Now I am glad I kissed Asher and not Nick.... I do love him but at this moment I am disgusted...
I enter the class...and sleep!
