Ch. 19 -- Big News

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        The next couple of days have been relaxing, Caroline and her group of minions were suspended, no news on what her parents did to her. She's only a fake wanna-be famous girl, who wants everyone to love her and give her all the attention she seeks. William is on short terms with me, I still believe that my punishment was worthless. She hit me first, doesn't that mean I was only defending her? It's obvious. So what, maybe I took it up a notch by pinning her down and repeatedly hitting her for all of the times she laughed at me or for embarrassing me that morning in front of a lot of kids. Okay, maybe I had been out of line, I have been ignoring William the past two days, maybe I did go to far. Usually, my old self, would go to a teacher or my brothers and tell them, but lately, being picked on as a 'wimp' for tattle tale, I decided to take actions into my own hands. Look where it got me, a burning bottom and grounded for the rest of my life. Today is the day Caroline comes back to school and I know she will not be at all happy with me. "Do not get into any trouble today, please." repeated Sam for like the millionth time this morning. "I wont! I promise." I kiss his cheek and step out of the car, locking arms with Vanessa, we make our way to our lockers.

"Do you think she will really try something?" I ask nervously

"If she does, I am right here for you, Vi" says Chris.
I roll my eyes exasperatedly, turning back to Vanessa for her response.
"Come on, Vi, you know her. Of course she will. When has the 'ever so famous' Caroline ever let anything untouched?"

"And of course, the idiot is right. I told you you would pay, and here I am." Caroline pushed me into my locker and punched me in the face. I held my nose as it exploded with blood and noticed a small difference in Caroline's outfit that got me laughing.
"What? What are you laughing at?!" she yelled. 

        Vanessa and Chris start laughing along side me as they notice her nose all wrapped up in PINK bandages. "What the hell is on your face?!" laughs Chris, as he helps me up, gives me some tissue for my nose and stands in front of me, protecting me from anymore hits from Caroline. She gets angrier the more we laugh and kicks Chris hard in the leg, yelling, "Your stupid little girlfriend here broke my nose! As well as my chin bone is now fractured. Your stupid brother is in a meeting with my mother right now talking about what happened." She flips her hair and as she is walking away, says, "At least I look good with anything. I have natural beauty. Unlike you two, who have absolutely no beauty at all. You are not worth my precious time. You know, people PAY to just look at me." Vanessa and I exchange looks as we continue to laugh at her stupid comment. "Pay to look at her?!" "Maybe if she had any beauty under that mount of makeup she applies everyday! People would pay to keep her away." We both continue to laugh at her stupid comments as Chris lead us to our first class. During lunch, we are all sitting and eating and talking about what happened in the morning. "You actually mean to say she didn't hit you for laughing?!" exclaims Brian. "Well, Chris was blocking us, and you know how her goal is to 'bang' all of the boys in school, especially Chris, she always lets him go off easy." I say. Chris looks away, and mumbles, "I'm not that good looking you know. The jock boys are way better looking." We all start to laugh at him and he turns towards us and says, "What!? It's true!" Chris is a football player, and a damn good one at that. His goal is to get a full scholarship for the University when he graduates and he barely turned 13! We continue to chat and joke around throughout the day, and we even got called out on it in Stefan's math class.

        After homework and my chores, I decided to go horseback riding. I gathered my riding gear, and headed for the back door, slamming it in the process. "SORRY!" I yelled to no-one. William and Dean where over at Caroline's house having a 'grown-up' talk. Sam was working and Damon was grading his papers. Cody was just starting on his chores, so I grabbed my black horse, Mariachi, and went for a long trail ride. I texted Vanessa to grab her appaloosa horse, Pinky and meet me at the end of the trail. Pinky is a beautiful horse, all white with light brownish-blond spots all over her, don't ask my why she named her Pinky, she's just weird. I had made some cucumber sandwiches and brought along some apple slices while Vanessa brought come carrots for our horses and water with chips. We made our little picnic and ate and talked about the dumbest things any girl can talk about while our horses were galloping around and playing with each other. My horse is a male stallion, all black with a white star on his forehead and Vanessa's horse is a female mare, I think that they like each other since they are so close to each other. When they are together, they never leave each others side, it's so cute. *RING RING RING RING* "Sorry, Vanessa, it's Dean." (D = DEAN, ME = VIVIANA)
