Hope Is The Thing With Feathers

Chapter 7

"Eva!! EVA!! Jared!!"
Squirming through packed bodies, shouting at the top of my lungs and I'm still drowned out by the music.
"Oh god please help me..."
I keep pushing through until I finally see Jared's paisley print blue and white shirt in the strobe lights.
" Thank god for terrible fashion choices !"
I grab his arm and he whips around almost hitting me
" Dude what the fu- oh hey girl what's up??"
"Jared where's your car I need to go home right now!!!"

"Why what are you talking about??! If this is about Alex and Stacey, trust me I can handle them-"
" It's not them! Please I just can't be here anymore."
He sighs and hugs me. " Alright come on, I'm parked out front. I'll text Eva when we get to the car. " He wraps his arm around me, holding me close and shielding me from the stares of my peers.
*******************************
HARRY'S POV
"Wait! Please!!!"
I make a grab for her arm, but she's already running back through the woods and underbrush.
"Fuçking shït, I just got these fuçking shoes.,"
I make it back to the school on time to see her lunge through the door. I make my way inside and she's gone.
" FUCK!!!"
My fist hits the wall, denting the plaster beneath the paint.
"Dude, what the fuck is your problem?!" I turn to see Alex and Stacey staring at me like I've got 3 heads.
I look at my hand, then at Alex, and punch him across the face and he drops.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT EARLIER WITH THE BEADS?! YOU HUMILIATED THE GIRL I DANCED WITH , YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!"
He gets up holding his face laughing.
" Dude, the chick you were dancing with was that little fat bitch you hate. What's her name? Myra ...Mrtyle..??"
"Maia. " Stacey rolls her eyes and pulls out a nail file.
"Glad to see you care so much about someone you didn't a fuck about 3 days ago, Styles. Real classy!"  Alex smirks , grabbing his jaw.

"It was for her own good really. She needed a little reality check if you ask me. Coming in here and taking what's mine."
As she laughs, I realize that if I don't leave right now, I might just go to jail. I stomp out of the doors and out of the parking lot. Alex was my ride, but I'm sure I can find someone else.
"That can't have been her....she was so beautiful. Warm and funny and oh my fucking god she can dance! Maia's just some straight A loser.....right? "
I'm so deep in my thoughts that I don't see the headlights coming towards me, but the horn snaps me awake.
"Asshole, watch where the fuck your going!!" The driver speeds off, leaving me coughing in his dusty wake. I'm left there gasping as I realize that no one else is leaving that dance anytime soon.

"Well, guess I've gotta walk home then. Not that far...."
I start walking in the direction of home and soon, I find myself outside the front gates. I buzz the intercom to let Maybel know that it's me and the gates open with a creak.
"These stupid things need oil.."
I unlock the door and head straight up to my room, where I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.
I was too tired to shower, so I stripped down and crawled in between my sheets.
"That girl definitely wasn't Maia. She was beautiful. Too beautiful. "
But the harder I tried to convince myself that it wasn't her, the more I thought about her. Her big brown eyes hidden behind those glasses. Her braids and grey knit beanie.
" Ugh God, I'm not getting any sleep tonight...."
*The Next Morning*

"Sir? Sir, you have to wake up. Your parents are expecting you in the dining room. "
I sit up, eyes bleary, and my voice a raspy whisper.

"Who the fuck is waking me up so early?!?!"
I blink a few times and I see Ms. Maybel in front of me. Smiling a bit, I look at the clock.
2:10 PM
"Thanks for waking me, May. I would hate to keep my parents waiting. "
Groaning, I stand up and stretch my arms and legs, working out all the tension.
"Fucking great, now I gotta go play nice with Mommy and Daddy. I can't wait till those pricks drop dead from one too many Xanies..."
I keep thinking murderous thoughts until I'm standing in the dining room looking into their faces.
"Afternoon all...."
I yawn and make my way into the kitchen for some much needed food. I gather the ingredients for a sandwich and sit as far from them as I can. As I open the jar of mayo, my father reaches inside his pocket; and tosses a little Baggie at me.
As it lands in front of me, the white powder dusting the table, all I can say is.....
"Shit."
