Chapter 11

School. Seven or six crappy hours of our life. I'm sitting in first period being bored. I doodled. I whispered. I might as well listen now. The teacher is talking about 9/11 seeing that it's September 11th. I know most stuff about it. I was one when it happened. I look at Chase and he smiles at me. I smile back and turn to Jay. He’s doodling on his notebook. I can't see what he's drawing. I try to but he keeps moving his notebook from my view. I frown. He turns towards me. He winks and reaches out. He touches my frown and turns it upside down.

“ Don't frown baby. It doesn't look good on you.” He says smiling. I glare at him. I hear Chase laugh under his breath. I roll my eyes and turn my attention back to the front. I can’t wait until lunch.

*************************

LUNCH. We are having pizza. We have practice tonight, which I'm excited about. I sit down and immediately start eating my delicious pizza. I have chips and a chocolate pudding cup on my plate. I'm talking to Maddie when I sense a hand inching towards my plate. I slap it away. I turn and find Jay holding his hand.

“ Are you insane? That hurt!” Jay says. I pout at him. He sighs and kisses my cheek.

“ I'm sorry Kenz. Don't pout.” He says. I sigh and nod.

“ Why do you call her Kenz?” We hear Amy’s annoying voice say. I groan.

“ Must you ruin my lunch Collins.” I say turning around.

“ Well well well. If it isn't miss ugly. Your so ugly hello kitty said goodbye to you.” Amy says. Jay tenses. I roll my eyes.

“ how about you have a nice cup of shut the hell up?” I say back. I hear Chase snort. “ Who said I wanted to shut up?” Amy answers. I groan.

“ Please if I wanted your opinion I would've asked.” I say.

“ you look really pretty Alex. Where'd you get that? The trash?” Amy says.

“ I would slap you but I don't want to get slut all over my hand.” I say back.

“ I'm pretty sure you slept with. Coach Martin just to get a spot on the team.” Amy counters. I laugh.

“ Bitch please. You're the one who has slept with most of the school. No wonder my brothers hate your guts. And me.” I say. Amy looks surprised.

“ And how many brothers do you have? Plus Jay doesn't hate me right?” I laugh along with everyone at the table.

“ Sweetie. Have you heard of Adam Parker, captain of the football team?” I say. She nods.

“ That's my older brother. I have three more. And let's let Jay answer that question. Jay?” I say looking at my best friend. He smiles at me and kisses my cheek.

“ I hate you Amy. I thought it was implied when you asked me out all those times.” Jay says with his arm around me. I snort.

“ I saw that picture you posted on Instagram last night. It’s too bad you can’t wear those Instagram filters in real life.” I say. She glares at me.

“ You wanna know something Amy?” Jay says.

“ sure!” Amy says.

“ I’d take you on a date but I don't like to take the trash out.” Jay says. I snort and Chase laughs. Everyone else just chuckles. Amy glares at us before stomping away. I shrug and turn back towards my food.

“ Hey! Who stole my pudding?” I ask the guys at the table. They all look at each other. I look at every single one of them. Connor is looking away. I smack him upside the head and hold out my hand. He sighs and gives me my pudding.
