Unbreakable

Chapter 13

I woke up to my alarm blasting 'Malibu' by Mixley Cryus, I groaned rolling over, hitting the floor. I inched my way to my closet regretting not setting out an outfit last night. I sleepily chose a pair of black shorts paired with a black and white checkered tank top, which I paired with matching low top checkered converse. I thought for a moment, should I take a quick shower? I paused, then sniffed my armpits immediately hit with a vile stench.

"Jesus!" I said to myself. Shower it is.

I headed to the bathroom and bumped into Mackenzie, I frowned, "What are you doing up so early?"

She shrugged, "I couldn't sleep."

"Any particular reason?" I asked

"I like a boy."

"Okay?"

"I like a boy and the boy likes me. But we are only in middle school. How do I tell him we should wait to date?"

"Girly you're too young for these types of problems. But my best advice is be honest with him, and hey if he moves on so be it trust that maybe you two aren't meant to be. But if he does wait he is a true gentleman." I told her

"Thanks sis."

I ruffled her hair, "You're welcome kid. Now, go get some sleep."

I watched her little figure walk back to her room then headed into the bathroom to shower. I started the water and pulled the tab up to change the stream to the shower head. I made sure to put the water to the perfect temperature, extra boiling skin burning hot. I stripped down to nothing and hopped in.

After I cleaned myself down to the bone I returned back to my room fully clothed. "Where are you going?" I heard a voice ask, startling me

I squinted to see Joel sitting in the corner of the room, "Jesus you scared me!"

He clicked the lamp on, ignoring me, "I'll ask you again where are you going?" He repeated

"Just out." I replied, "It's actually none of your business." I said throwing my clothes onto my bed. I pulled my hair into a high ponytail and stood in front of the mirror and studied myself.

"Actually it is my business. Mom and dad left on a last minute trip and they left me in charge."

I sighed, "I'm just going somewhere okay? Don't worry about me, I'll be with Alla."

He raised his eyebrows. "You're not gonna go see either of those boys are you?" He questioned referring to Carter and Ryder

"No actually I'm not."

"Good stay away from those two they've brought nothing but trouble."

You got that right.

"I'll be back later." I told him. I grabbed my purse and as I did someone honked their horn outside, probably Alla waiting for me. I leaned in and kissed his cheek, "I'll be back before you know it."

"Are you even going to tell me where you're going?"

I smiled, "Nope."

He hugged me, "Just be alert and safe. Call me when you need me."

I walked to the front door, "If."

"Huh?"

"You said when instead of if. We'll be fine I promise."

He sighed, "Alright."

I walked out of the door and got into Allan's mini van. "You're still driving this piece of junk?" I laughed
