Me With Him

chapter twenty

So only three months of school left. Things between me and Aron are perfect. The girls are meeting me after school. Then bam! A snake with Cason's face bites me and I die.
Then I wake up.
''Girl when did you get into my bed?'' Brenna asked.
''Like nine last night. Sorry mom said I could stay.''
''Do you want to borrow some clothes?''
''Yes please.'' I went to her closet and pulled out sweat pants and a blue tanktop. I put on one of her crop tops, which was a little loose on me. I put on my tennis shoes. And use her perfume.
''Let's go.'' She tossed me an Apple and we walked out to her car. Oh I forgot to mention, all my friends are rich. Like queen of England rich. I'm the poor kid on the block and I have three acres of forest, my grandparents own a small restaurant, and I have a good sized house. I got in her Acura and she drove me to school, but my brain was on Cason.
''...earth to C.J.''
''Oh sorry.''
''Girl what's wrong.''
''Harrold is completely moved in with Rachel, thier nursery is so cute. I miss him though, and Cason is going to move my stuff into his room, after he paints it black and puts red skulls on the walls.''
''Oh.''
''Yeah.'' Technically I didn't lie to her, I just didn't tell her everything.
We walked into school and Aron was with his baseball buddies. He does that. I walked to the other track girls, that's what I do. I love track. I do shotput and discus. They were talking about long jump so I just went to my locker.
''What's wrong love?'' Aron asked me.
''Nothing.''
''Please don't lie to me.''
''Aron, I'll handle myself, I'm a big girl now.''
''Okay I just wanted to help my girlfriend.''
''Aron.''
''No. I see how it is.''
''It's not like that.''
''It's fine just leave me alone  right now.''
I see crying as a sign of weakness so I bit back the tears and the anger as I walked to class.
At lunch Aron didn't sit with me. When I walked over to him he got up and walked away, that hurt. So I sat in his seat and waited.
''I don't think he wants to talk to you right now.'' Rico said.
''He doesn't have a choice.'' I said. ''Well maybe if you weren't so clingy and secretive you wouldn't be in a fight.''
''Do you want to talk to me like that again? Cause I'll beat you to a pulp.''
''You couldn't hurt a fly, you're too preppy, you wouldn't want to break a nail.''
''You wanna go?'' I stood up.
''Sure.'' He stood up too. All the boys stood back and everyone, including Aron came over to watch.
I waited and he tried to grab me. I got in one good punch before he threw me onto a table. He pulled one of his hands to punch me and I braced for the impact preparing to attempt to dodge it. However, before he could hit me Aron grabbed his arm and turned him around. He looked at him completely disgusted.
"Your not a man if you would hit a lady." He growled. He let Rico go and pushed him back a good 10 feet until he fell. Thankfully he left it at that. But he still wouldn't talk to me. Hd just brushed past me and walked away. They called Harrold and he came in. He talked the principal out of punishing me. He took me home and left me there shaking his head. I took a bath for the pain of being slammed against the table and fell asleep in Cason' s bed in my most comfy pajamas.
''Hey yeah I can do initiation this Saturday.'' I heard Cason talking on the phone. I pretended to still be sleeping.
''No nobody will know where I'm going.'' A few minutes passed and I heard a pen scribbling.
''I can pass any test you give me.''
About 30 seconds passed before Cason spoke again.
''Bye cobra. I can't wait to meet the king.'' I waited for him to leave the room and I got up. I walked out and went to find Cason. He was painting my walls.
''Good I have somewhere to be so can you take over?'' He asked me.
''Yeah sure.''
''Great bye.''
''Love you.''
''I'll be home for dinner.''
''I'll cook.''
''Uh oh.'' He handed me a paint roller and I finished the last wall.
I got a new paint roller and got hot pink paint from when I painted Brenna a birthday banner awhile ago. I painted pink zigzag stripes two on each wall but they were set off a stripe so it looked like if you made it one long wall it would be pink sort of zigzag picnic blanket like.
When I finished, I got out my skateboard and rode to the craft store. I bought a hot pink lamp, and giant white C.J. letters to hang on my wall. Cason most of the money from selling our bunkbed to get his new bed. So next I went to the second hand store and got a really bad bed frame for ten dollars, and I planned on painting it from it's nasty dirty brown to sleek black with leftover paint from my walls. I also bought white paint for my nightstand and my desk. When the guy dilivered it about 20 minutes later, I got to work in the middle of the yard because I'm not strong enough to carry that all in by myself. I finished painting at around eight and Cason still wasn't home. I made hotdog-in-mac. I ate by nine and put Cason's food in the microwave. Then I fell asleep on the couch curled up half way through the fourth Harry potter. I was so tired I couldn't stay awake long enough to finish it.
