I Punched the Bad Boy

(9)Plans For the Weekend

I woke up to birds chirping, sunlight streaming into my bedroom, and the sound of breakfast being made. NOPE none of that happened, remember when I said I was going back to the comforts of my bed? When I hopped back into bed I couldn't go back to sleep. I mean who would have been able to fall asleep after being woken up at 6 am and being kissed by an attractive guy while watching the sunrise? This seems a little cliché. Anyways after a long time of  thinking about what had happened earlier this morning I got a little hungry. So I went down to kitchen trying my hardest not to make any noise when I passed my mom who was passed out on the old couch in the living room. There wasn't much food in the kitchen, I should probably go grocery shopping later. I found the cereal hiding in the pantry and ate it plain. There wasn't any milk in the fridge that had not yet expired. 

Eating my cereal I went back to my room. I checked the clock 7:30... Damn Taylor next time don't plan a date so early in the morning. Next time, is there going to be a next time? I mean we aren't exactly dating. Speaking of dating, I wonder what's up with Cara and Logan. The last time I saw the two they were sucking each others faces in a locker room. I'll talk to Cara about that later on in life, but now I have some cereal to eat. Munch. Munch. Munch. Ding! I looked at my phone's lit up screen. Cara sent me a text that read, "are you awake?" I quickly replied with a yes. "Okay, well good morning! I was wondering if you were available. My family has a vacation house and it would be great if we could hang out there over the weekend. Zoe will also be there, and I was planning on inviting some other people too..." she told me. "Sure, a vacation sounds good. I just need my mom's approval." I replied. "Okay, fingers crossed she'll say yes. Cya around!" Cara texted. 

A vacation sounded really fun but I still had to convince my mom to let me go. Should I ask her when she's drank a little or sober? I'll figure it out later, plan B is to make something up and hope she'll believe me. 

I waited until she woke up to ask her if I could go to Cara's vacation home. "Sure, do whatever." she told me. Hmm, so when she's drunk she's abusive and cares what I'm doing, and when she's sober or hung over she doesn't give a damn about what I do. Good information about my mother. "Thanks!-mom...." I said before rushing back to my room to get ready for school. 

My eyes were trained on the clock during each of my subjects. Then when I thought lunch would never come, the bell rang and I jumped out of my seat and rushed towards the cafeteria. "Hey Amber!" Cara waved catching my attention. I sat next to Zoe and stuffed my face while Cara checked her phone. "So Cara about this weekend." Zoe began. "Oh right! There's a pool in the backyard so bring your swimsuits." Cara told us. "Cool. My mom said I could go." I said. "Wait is it going to only be the three of us?" Zoe asked. "You can invite some of your friends if you want. I'm inviting Logan, and he's coming with Connor, and Taylor." Cara said. "Taylor's going to be there?" I asked. "Yep. Sorry Amber I know you aren't a fan of his." Cara apologized. "Oh no, it's okay, he's starting to grow on me, in a way..." I said. "Is it okay if I invite Toby?" Zoe asked. "Sure, I haven't seen him in awhile, plus, the more the merrier." Cara said. "Sorry but who's Toby?" I asked. I remember Zoe bringing up his name the first time we went to the Cage together. "Toby's a friend from middle school, he came here for a year too then transferred to some other school. We were all close friends." Cara told me. Cara leaned over the cafeteria table and whispered to me, "Zoe and Toby were closer friends, if you know what I mean." she smirked and I laughed. "What's so funny?" Zoe asked. "Nothing." Cara and I both said. "Oh ya, Cara what's going on between you and Logan?" I asked.

"Huh?" Zoe said looking between Cara and I. "Oh are you guys talking about Cara and Logan's relationship?" Zoe asked. "Did you tell her?!" Cara looked at me alarmed. "No!" I said. "Cara it's pretty obvious something is going on between you and Logan I mean I've been seeing you two hanging out together a lot lately." Zoe said. "Really?" Cara asked. "Really." Zoe confirmed. "Sooo, are you two dating?" I asked. "Ya, for about a month now." Cara said. "Wow it's hard to keep secrets." she added. "Wait why was this a secret again?" Zoe asked. "I really don't remember." Cara said. 

Cara was busy after school so Zoe and I couldn't hang out at her house and finish our homework as we usually do. "I could bus home but that would take a while, and I also need to go to the grocery store..." I mumbled. "Hey Amber." Zoe said appearing beside me. "Hey Zoe." I replied smiling. "Did you need a ride?" she asked. "Sure, I didn't know you had a car." I commented. "Oh I don't have a car, I have a bike." she said. "Umm are we talking motor bike or regular bike with the manual pedals?" I asked. "I have a motor bike." Zoe said laughing. 

"Thanks again, for giving me a ride." I thanked Zoe. I requested that she'd drop me off at the supermarket."No problem. Oh I was wondering, did you want to come to the Cage tonight with me?" she asked. "Sure. Are you fighting?" I asked. "Nah, my friend Toby is." she said. "Okay, I can meet you there later just send me the time you want to meet up." I said before waving goodbye and walking down the street. I heard her engine roar behind me and speed away. 

It was when I was done paying for all of my groceries when I realized I was almost broke. I probably should sign up for another match and earn some cash. I know you guys must be thinking, just get a part time job! I don't exactly work well with other people. I used to have a part time job but then I got fired for starting a fight with one of my coworkers who was being a real pain in the ass. 

I was unpacking all of the groceries in the kitchen when my mom entered the room and smacked me. I was too shocked and my peanut brain was busy processing what just happened. "Amber where were you! I was hungry!" she shouted. After a few moments I muttered under my breath, "Well you wouldn't be hungry if you actually went out and bought some food yourself." "What was that?" she asked. "Nothing." I replied before starting to unpack groceries. By the time I was done packing my mom had left the house and gone to who knows where. Before I left to meet up with Zoe I wrote a note telling her where I'd gone if she were to come back before me.

I met Zoe in the entrance to the Cage. "Hey Amber!" she waved at me. "Hi Zoe." I said when I got to her. "Amber I would like you to meet Toby. Amber, Toby. Toby, Amber." Zoe introduced us. "Hello." he greeted me. "Hi, nice to meet you." I replied. Toby looked only a little taller than me and had dark brown hair and eyes. "Shouldn't you be in the locker room changing?" Zoe asked him. "Right. It was nice to meet you Amber. See you around!" he said before racing towards the locker rooms.

"We should find seats I told Zoe and we eventually sat down on a bench that had paint chipping off of it. "So do you know who Toby is fighting?" I asked Zoe. "No clue but we'll find out in a little bit." she replied. Toby's opponent's back was facing me when they stepped into the cage. His opponent had familiar looking messy dirty blonde hair. It took me a little bit to realize who Toby was fighting. "Hey is that Connor Test?" I asked Zoe. "Oh, i guess it is." Zoe replied.

Hey Guys! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Hope you liked this chapter, I'll be writing more about Cara and Logan, Taylor and Amber, Zoe and Toby, and poor Conner the 7th wheel. XD
