128√e98 I love you

Replaced by my Imaginary Cat

I wake up to a wild Dylan shaking me vigorously, but as soon as he spots my groggy eyes he stops, I give him the best glare I can, which is very good considering I've just woken up.

"We're going to be late!" He shouts at me and I wince

"Okay geez! Keep your wig on! I'm getting up now!" I say loudly getting out of bed

"Be quick!" He says before rushing out of the room, giving me my privacy, thank goodness. Don't want to scar him for life. I look at the clock and see we are about 2 minutes late from our usual alarm, I would love to say this isn't a usual occurrence, but it is, *sigh*. I shower and put on my school uniform; a summer shirt which is only "summer" in the fact that it has short sleeves, blazer, skirt and high knee socks. I head downstairs and get a bowl of cereal, during the week; Ian doesn't cook, because we all go to different schools, which start at different times. It's just silly to make breakfast 4 or 5 different times in the morning. Some people get tutored at the home though, because they have special needs.

"Imogen is here" Dylan says coldly, I turn around to look at him and roll my eyes at his childish behavior, he doesn't like Im because, and I quote, "she stole you away from me". It's not like the popular group even liked me, Im however, made me feel welcome.

"Thanks" I reply "See you tonight" I smile and he just grumbles

I sigh and get up, I dump my bowl and spoon in the sink and get my bag. I then make my way to the hall and put my vans on, I see Im's car waiting in the drive and rush out, hoping to not have kept her waiting too long.

"Took you long enough" Im starts the car and frowns

"Sorry Mrs. Grumpy, didn't realize you were in such a rush," I say, laughing

"Yes! I am Mrs. Grumpy, because someone didn't tell me all the details of Saturday!" She turns the corner sharply and I have to hold the door to not flail on top of Im

"I would, but I don't know if Noah wants me to tell anyone..." I fiddle with my fingers, too shy to ask him if I can tell my overly persistent best friend

"Screw him! Just tell meeeeee!" She whines pulling into the school parking lot

"Just wait! I'll see if I can muster up the courage to ask him today" I say as we get out of her car

"You better, my period is due so I'm going to be cranky!" She says and I laugh

"You mean even more cranky"

"Shut up" She grumbles and I suddenly get yanked away from her by a mysterious hand, Im promptly turns red and speed walks away. So much for her being my best friend, she is going to be replaced by my imaginary cat, humph.

I turn to face my mysterious yanker, and I'm met with the face of Noah Kingsley. I glare at him, what does he want?

"Hey, um, I just, errr, wanted to say..." Wait; is Noah Kingsley about to apologize?! Holy crap! And I get to be first hand witness! Oh my gosh, I feel so honored. No sarcasm, literally.

"Don't tell anyone about Saturday" He runs a hand through his hair and I sigh, I genuinely thought he was going to apologize, I'm such a doof, although...

"I won't tell anyone" He sighs in relief, visibly relaxing "But you have to apologize to me" He tenses up again and his neutral face turns into a scowl,

"And why should I do that" His cold voice sends a shiver down my spine but I don't look away, I meet his eyes and steel mine over

"Because, you were rude to me, that's why"

"Ahaha, no" He says sarcastically and starts to walk away

"Okay, I'll just tell the whole school about what happened" He freezes and slowly turns around, he then walks towards me excruciatingly slow, he presses me up to the wall and I refuse to meet his eyes. My breath hitches as he leans in closer.

"Go ahead, and see what I'll do to you"

"Okay" I say cheerily although inside I am running for the hills, his eyes darken

"Sorry" He spits out

"No, you have to mean it, admit that what you did was rude to a guest of your house, admit that your Dad cares for you at least a bit because he has ordered a tutor for you, admit that I have given up my time for you and you just throw it away like it's nothing, admit that I have been patient with you and you haven't been very grateful" I say, by the end I am red in the face and almost shouting, my anger has been let out, which normally doesn't happen, he just struck a nerve. He is no longer standing over me and is instead about a meter away from me looking at me in shock. I realize what I've done and try to cover up what I said.

"Shit, I didn't mean that! I'm sorry, fuck! I don't normally say thinks like that..." I trail off, I turn around and mumble, "I won't tell anyone"

I feel his warm hand on my shoulder and he stands next to me, halting me from walking any further.
"I'm sorry," He whispers and I turn to look at him

His cheeks are slightly red and he looks incredibly uncomfortable, I laugh awkwardly and say "See you on Saturday then" He nods and I walk into the school building.

"Can you tell me?! Please???"

"No"

"Pleeeaaase"

"No"

"Whyyyyy"

"Because Noah doesn't want me to tell anyone"

"I'm your best friend!"

"Congratulations"

"I'm not talking to you"

"We all know you won't last"

"Shut up"

"No"

"Tell me"

"No"

"Tell me"

"No"

"Tell me"

"For the last time no!"

I spot Noah walk past us where we are currently standing at my locker. I grab him and he stares at me and Im, confused.

"Hey, I know you said not to tell anyone, but this stranger " I glare at her and then turn back to Noah "won't stop asking, can I tell her?" I look up at his brown eyes

"No" He says sternly and Im sighs

"C'mon mate! I'm her best friend for crying out loud" Im whines at him

"Let me think...no" He scratches his head teasingly and then glares at Imogen, she in response shrinks back and says something incoherent in a high pitched voice.

I laugh as he walks off and she glares at me "You could've protected me from the wrath of the Noah Kinglsey but you didn't"

"And you could've taken no for an answer, but you didn't" I shake my head and grab my books for the next lesson. She hits me on the arm but doesn't say anything, she knows I'm right. 

The bad boy apologised, what!? I'm running out of things to say in these author's notes. What do you think of Im and Dylan? Definitely some tension there *hint hint*. Ahhahah! A man just knocked on my door and its dark and I'm alone, I'm scared. Tell your creepy door knockers!
