The Truth

Lucy- Alone

"Have a great day Lucy."
"No I'd rather not."
This is the conversation my mom and I have everyday. Always, every time she asks I end up walking to school telling myself the perfect argument I could've had with my mother, as if she would ever actually listen. All my life I was easily able to make friends and have a good time but ever since four years ago my family and I have bin moving at least four times a year. Doesn't really give me that much time to make friends does it? I always ask my brother Tony why we move so much, since I could never possibly ask my mom about it without her telling me to suck it up. Tony will give me an answer, not a very good one, but an answer, "we move because we're undercover Lucy." He'd say to me with a jocking smile and his blonde hair in his face. He'd always say the same thing every time even if I tell him to be serious with me. Tony was what you would call average looking, but don't get me wrong he could make a girl drop to their knees so fast her head would spin. He had medium sized blonde hair and blue eyes. He was tall and muscular, with a voice that was so deep you could kill a man with it. My brother was nineteen when he moved back with us to help after my father past when I was about thirteen. That's when we started to move. I guess my mother just couldn't stay in one place after that.
  The voice of the two Telsky twins fighting over a shoe pulled me back to life, right before I walked into the school doors.
  "Good morning class, today we will be doing a lab, it will involve you having a partner." The whole class other then me erupted into a chat about which friend was going to go with who without leaving another friend out. Sadly I was not invited into this chat. Lucky for me one person came in late today and there for didn't get I partner.

" Alright. Everyone has their partners? Lucy are you with Liam then?" Mr G asked as the whole class laughed comments about how I can't be with anybody and that as long as I'm not with one of them. My anger from this morning turned and threatened to lash out into hatred at the class, but eventually I calmed it down and proceeded to take my seat at one of the lab tables. As Liam took a seat beside me I couldn't help but realize how extremely handsome he was, and I will mention that this is my first time ever actually seeing him so close up, he usually sat at the back of the class and didn't talk much. Also this was the first time I'm doing a lab this year because I just came to this school a month ago which would have bin in march and my last school didn't have the proper materials for a lab. But looking at Liam now I noticed his hair was a dark brown curly mess that he kept tamed just often enough to make it look good. He was tall, thin, and I think his eyes were brown; although I would never let him see me looking into them. I wouldn't say I like him though, he was probably like everyone else, and besides I don't know how long I will be at this school for so I can't risk crushing on anybody.
"

Lucy? Are you ok?" He asked.
"What?"
"Well you  didn't say anything though almost all of the class and I'm already done the assignment."
"Oh, yeah I'm ok. Um, what was the assignment? Just in case we have a test on it?"
"You would've known what it was if you were paying attention to the work instead of my face?"
I could feel my cheeks turning red as I looked away.
"I wasn't I was just zoned out!"
"Right? zoned out on my face."
"No! I was thinking of what I have to do when I get home!" My anger was almost to the point of explosion.
"Relax I was only jocking!"
My face went red again as he smiled. I couldn't tell if it was a good thing or not. Maybe he was really smiling at me, or he was just making fun of me and was about to go tell all his stupid friends about how I made a fool of my self. But the bell went and as soon as it did, I made sure to be the first one out so that I couldn't see all Liam's friends laugh about me.
  When I got to my locker I realized too late that Liam's locker was right across the hall allowing me to see right to him. I couldn't help but find myself staring again. I never realized before how attracted I was to him. He turned around but this time I made sure that I was already down the hall and out of his site. Although strangely he was in every single one of my classes, even my options!
  When I got home from school Tony told me that when I was ready him and my mother would like to have a chat with me in the living room. So after I made a sandwich and then eat it being sure to take my time, I reach for a glass of milk I had poured when my mother yelled at me to hurry up. Still I drank the milk and read the labels on the jug before finally deciding that I was interested in what my family had to say.
"Lucy, we have some bad news and your not gonna like it!" Tony said as he looked almost in tears.
"Tony stop!" My mother said as he went into all business mode,
"Tony and I have bin thinking."
"You mean you have bin thinking and I have bin subconsciously agreeing." Tony laughed
"Thinking about what?" I asked
"We have bin thinking that it is time that we make you clean." My mom replied.
My face went stone cold but not for a bad reason, but because if my mom wanted the house cleaned then that would mean she wants to stay in this house!
"What do you want me to clean?"
"Really? Your not going to argue with her?"
"Well Tony you see she was raised with responsibility and-"
"I never said I would do it, I only asked what you wanted me to do."
"I want you to clean the back yard." She said in an angry voice because she was mad that I interrupted her.
Not willing to ask for any help I agreed and walked out to go get the garbage bin, since my mother may love her cans a little to much.
  As I was cleaning silently, because I was not aloud a phone for music, I couldn't stop thinking about how much I was attracted to Liam. I have never crushed on anyone before and I desperately didn't want to try liking someone now. But I still found my self a little too excited to see him at school tomorrow.
  Pulling away from my thoughts I went back to cleaning the yard when suddenly I heard a twig snap from behind me. I didn't see anything but I couldn't help but come back to the returning thought I've bin having all month. I keep on thinking that I'm being watched.
