Blinding lights......the figure....screaming.......blood blood blood..
I sat up in bed so fast I almost hit my head against. I was sweating and my breathing was harsh. Rolling out of bed I checked the time:2:37 "Well I'm awake now," I thought and pulled on a robe and slippers. I was walking towards the door when my phone went off. It was a text from an unknown number: Sorry to wake up, just wanted to let you know taking pictures with you was fun.
-Do I know you? I sent back.
Take a guess shortie. Who else did you take pictures with today? Should I feel betrayed my picture partner is snapping with someone else.
I sighed and rolled my eyes.
-How did you get my number?
I have my ways. Why you up this late shortie?
-I could ask you the same question Mr.Chase.
Late party. You?
-Couldn't sleep
Dreaming of me?
-You wish princess
You know I do. You should be getting some sleep. See you at school Cc.
-Try not to call me that Eli. Keep in mind I know your nickname too. See you at school.
I rolled my eyes and checked the clock:4:34. We talked for two hours and it felt like no time passed. Wow. I guess I can check on Hadley then go get ready. I walked into Hadley's room and saw her passed out. For the first time in a while she actually looked her age. I gave her a kiss on the forehead, then headed off to shower.School starts in half an hour and I'm ready to go. I'm wearing a black long sleeved off the shoulder crop top, light blue high waisted shorts, black choker, black wide brimmed hat, and black heeled boots. I let my hair fall in waves under my hat and put on more neutral makeup. Hadley was already down stairs cleaning up what was left of breakfast. I picked her up spinning her around the room and out the door placing her in the car. "Off we go." Hadley laughed.
We pulled up to Rose and Hadley gave me a hug and skipped off. Twenty minutes later I was in the school parking lot with Livi and Cora. "Tell me what happened last night!" Pressed Cora. She would not shut up when she figured out Eli and I went somewhere last night. "Did you two kiss? Is that why you won't tell me?" I looked at her in disbelief and screeched,"Cora!" "Give her a break Cor,"Livi cut in. "Thank you Livi!"I started. "It's obvious Carter has him wrapped around her finger and a kiss is what you ask about?" My jaw dropped and I punched her hard in the arm. Strong arms wrapped around my waist and lifted me off the ground. Only one person would do this. "Eli!!!" I screeched. "Cora! Livi do something!" The sound of the bell rang out and Cora and Livi turned and ran. "I hate you both!" I screamed after them. "Don't worry! I'll get you to class!" Eli stated in a deep voice before setting me down and turning around. "Hop on Cc." I flicked him in the back of the head before climbing on his back. He took off across the parking lot barreling through the doors. Kids jumped out of the way as we sped past them. Eli made a sharp turn almost throwing me off before dropping me off at my first period math room just as the second bell rang. "Now you're going to be late for class!" I told him. "Not really. First period is extra period for gym, and I doubt coach will care." He said but looking slightly away. "Goodbye," he kissed forehead lightly, then ran down the hall. Trying to pretend that didn't just happen, I walked into first period, but my smile probably gave it away.
Lunch. I was putting my books away when someone slammed my locker shut. I looked up slowly to see a literal living Barbie. Her hair: an ugly shade of bright blonde, eyes: dull blue, lips: puffy, body: let's just say that is not what her mother gave her. Bianca Mack. "Yes Bitchanca?" I asked putting my hand on my hip. Bianca was one of Eli's many past girls and she refuses to believe he's done with her. "Relax short stack. Just wanted to see it for myself," she cackled. "What the hell are you talking about?" She had been here all of two minutes and that was enough of her for me. "I wanted to see the slut that is trying to steal my boyfriend." Hell no! They broke up last year and she has been following him like a lost puppy ever since. "I'm done talking to you." I stated trying not to raise my voice. "Why are you doing? Planning something?" She sneered. I looked her straight in the eyes and whispered so that the security cameras wouldn't catch it (knowing her she will try to turn me in) "No I just don't like to talk to people whose boobs are faker than their personality." Then I turned and ran to the bathroom hearing her scream profanities after me.
