Chapter 3
-The ride back to Aunt Janise's house after school was the same has it was this morning. Jenny told me everything that happened to her today and Michael stayed completely silent. Apparently Lena , some girl in her fourth period, started to flirt with her crush, Jason. Jenny had been crushing on Jason for two months now. She wanted to make a 'move' , but she was afraid of rejection.
-"Cut the crap your teachers have already called me. Why would you skip? You only had two more classes till the end of the day. "
" Didn't feel like going. "
" AND You picked on some new student. What if it was Abby? It was her first day! I would hate for that to be her first day experience. "
" Don't worry about it. "
-Michael set his keys on the table and put his finger to his lips.
" You're stupid!" Jenny whispered has she snuck up stairs, leaving me with Michael.
I looked back at him wondering what I should do. He motioned for me to follow him QUIETLY. We were closer to the people arguing in the kitchen now. Somehow in our nervousness one of us had grabbed the other's hand.
I hope it wasn't me.
- " Whatever!"
I could hear the footsteps of the voice coming closer. I wanted to move , but I couldn't. The fear of getting caught froze me. I squeezed Michael's jacket trying to tell him he needed to do something, but I'm not sure he understood because all he did was squeeze my hand. The footsteps were getting even closer we needed to do something.
-" Why does she even care?" I heard someone mumble.
Michael quickly moved me against the wall nearest to us. He placed my hand on the back of his neck and I placed my other on his side in an attempt to stop him.
What the fuck was he doing!?
"Just go with it!" He whispered.
When I said do something I didn't mean this!
-" Wow Michael. You couldn't wait to take it to your bedroom. " Michael lifted his head off my shoulder.
" 'Don't worry about it. ' "
" Yeah uh huh.. Wait Ms.Lorien is that you?"
Shit! It was 'Mr. Jonson ' my partner ! I've got to think of something!
" Mr.Jonson. It's nice to see you again. " Michael looked at me confused obviously not understanding how we knew each other.
"Wow." He ruffled his hair. " You move pretty fast for it being your first day. " Now Michael was looking at me. He understood now that I was the girl Aunt Janise was yelling about.
-" Well Michael here, was really kind to me. " I looked at Michael with admiration.
" I find that hard to believe. "
" And why's that? From what I've heard you haven't been nice to her at all. "
Shit! They're gonna fight!
I pulled on Michael's neck. "Come on he's right." Michael looked at me confused once again. " We should go up to your room. " I took his hand and dragged him toward the stairs.
-" What was that !?" Michael paced in front of me has I sat on his bed.
" You've never acted like that before. "
" Michael you haven't known me for long. You can't be sure that I've never acted like that before. " He stopped pacing and looked at me without blinking.
" You're right I haven't known you for long, but anyone else would have said you don't know me like that. "
" Your point?" Michael let out an exasperated breath.
" So how do you know Dylan?"
So 'Mr.Jonson' was Dylan.
-" He's my partner. "
I then explained my interaction with 'Mr. Jonson' to Michael. He was silent for most of it ,adding his little comments about things he did. Michael was sympathetic about why I stood up to 'Mr.Jonson'. He understood why I might find him scary.
"Okay. I'll help you with Dylan. I'm sure that when he thinks your not scared of him he'll back off. "
-I was surprised that he would be so willing to help me, but it was probably his way of getting back at his brother.
"Come on Aunt Janise is probably waiting to ask how your first day was." I nodded and followed him out the door.
Downstairs everyone was busy doing their own things. Dylan was on the couch watching TV, Jenny was sitting beside him doing her homework , and Aunt Janise had her nose stuck in a book. Michael pulled me toward them as he mouthed ," act normal."
Which is exactly what I've been trying to do since I got here.
-" Oh Abby! How was your first day ?"
" It was fine. "
"Fine?" I looked over to Jenny for help.
" Give her a break Aunt Janise. I've been introducing her to new people all day. "
" I don't think I'll ever remember them all. "
" Oh well that's good. "
Oh my gosh I just lied to her!
-"Guess what!" My mum shouted ,gaining all of our attention.
" I got a job !"
" That was quick!" Aunt Janise smiled, giving my mum a hug.
Has my mum and my aunt moved to another room to talk Dylan turned to me.
"So how was he?"
Hmmm. How was Michael ?
" He was quite nice. It was very surprising. "
-"Ow. Ow! Ow. Jenny let go! It hurts. " Jenny currently had my wrist pulling me up the stairs to her room.
" I can't believe you! You lied to me!" Jenny slammed the door shut.
" I've never lied to you Jenny ! I swear!"
" You said you weren't used to normal teenage behavior. "
" I'm not! Don't you remember you had to tell me what lmao stands for."
" Then how come you've already had sex with my brother!"
-"What? I haven't ."
" That's not what you said back there!"
" What are you talking about? I said nothing about having sex with Michael."
" 'He was quite nice. It was very surprising'! "
" He was. I told him about Dylan and how I'm not normal. He offered to help me. " I begged for her to understand.
-" Oh my gosh!" Jenny grabbed her stomach has she laughed.
This is why people think all teens are on drugs, myself included.
"Jenny! Why are you laughing?"
" I'm so sorry!" She hugged me.
" I don't understand. "
" You made it sound like you had sex with Michael. Dylan was asking how he was in bed! Not how he acted toward you!"
" Should I go tell him I misunderstood his question?" I turned for the door.
"No! That's exactly how a normal teenager would have responded. You've already have this kind of a 'challenge each other relationship'. It probably made him think you looked passed him. Especially since it was Michael, they hate each other. "
-" So it was good that he thinks I had sex with your brother?"
"Yeah kind of. "
Teenage stuff makes no sense!
"Let's head back downstairs. I'm sorry that I blew up on you."
"Uh it's okay."
