My Life with the Richards Family

My Life with the Richards Family: Chapter 9

"What do you think you're doing?" I yell.

"Teaching you not to mess with my baby." She replies smirking.

"He's not yours!"

"Yes yes he is."

"You don't own him! He's not a toy he's a human being."

"All I'm saying is to stay away from him."

"That's kinda hard."

"Why?"

"I live with him and his wonderful family." I say stepping closer to her.

"YOU WHAT!" she yells.

"You heard me!"

"Why do you live with them?"

"None of your business."

"Fine." She says slapping me on the same cheek.

I cup my face and stumble backwards. She gets uncomfortably close and stares me in the eyes. She backs off and walks out the door while kicking my book bag. I make sure she is gone and I pick up me backpack and put it on the counter. I pull out my makeup bag and pull the foundation out to cover up the huge red mark Skylar has left. I really hope Sawyer doesn't find out. I cover the red mark and walk back to the cafeteria. Skylar is sitting next to Sawyer laughing which stops when she sees me coming to sit back at the table. I sit down next to Ky who just smiles at me and I turn to Sawyer and Skylar. 

"Sawyer?" I ask quietly.

"Yes?" he says happily. 

"What are you doing after school?"

"I'm going to volleyball practice, since Nathan is your drive you don't have to stay and watch. But if you wanna stay go ahead." he says while Skylar gives me a death stare. 

"I think I'll just go home." I reply swallowing the lump in my throat and looking at Skylar. I could see her finally relax and take a sigh of relief. I get up from my spot, grab my back pack and walk out of the cafeteria. I couldn't take that anymore, I think while walking down the long corridor. I finally reach the front doors and run outside. I run all the way to the soccer field and lay there looking at the clouds.

After lunch I only had an hour of school left, thank god! I have gym. I grab my Nike pros and Nikes out of my back pack and get changed in the girls’ locker room. I walk back into the gym and see a bunch of gorgeous girls. It is volleyball my favorite and apparently Sawyer's too. The teacher is really laid back and is just letting us do anything volleyball related. I'm practicing by myself when a blonde haired girl walks over to me. 

"Hi I'm Leah and you are?" the blonde asks. 

"Nice to meet you Leah I'm Blake Alder, I'm new here." I reply. 

"You're really good, I was wondering if you wanted to practice with Me." 

"Thanks and sure why not." 

We start practicing and I have to say Leah is really good! We practiced bumping, volleying, serving and spiking. Leah has a really good over hand serve. Not to brag but mine is pretty good too. Everything was going good until Skylar walked in with 3 gorgeous brunette girls. They were all wearing black Nike pros and Nike sneakers with their hair up in a messy ponytail. 

"Oh my, here she comes." Leah says. 

"Oh hey Blake didn't expect to see you here." Skylar says walking up to us. 

"Hi." I reply quietly instantly becoming interested in the floor. 

"What do you want Skylar?" Leah asks sounding annoyed.
