From The Bottom Up

Chapter 2

I never walked to school before since I always had my brother to drive me to school.I guess I should get used to this now because if he does it once, whats to say he wont do it again.It's kinda weird that I have never walked to school before.It's not too far and it could help me lose a little bit of weight.Ofcourse right when I'm thinking about size somebody comes up and bothers me about it.

"Hey!Get your fat ass off the street"he says and throws something liquid like at me but also freezing cold.A slushy.I hear a burst of laughter come from the Jeep and the names "fat cow,  bitch, hore,and fat ass"as they drive off.Now I remember why Chris wanted me to ride with mom to school instead of walk.It doesn't really matter any way I have a spare set of cloths in my locker for these types of situations.

 When I finally get to school I see my brother standing by my locker.I don't know why people hang around him still.I mean its not that I want him to be unpopular but they know I'm his sister and yet they treat him normally.His eyes widen when he see's me."What the hell happen to you?"

"What does it look like?"I snapped.

He looked down at the ground and said"This is my fault I know but fuck I didn't want you to walk Nicole."   

 I give him a look that said stop blaming yourself but them I remembered the text I got from Crystal this morning."The slushy isn't your fault Chris.You and I both know I'll get slushied  five more times before I let mom take me to school or anywhere in that old thing."He chuckles a little at this."But",I say, "it is your fault Crystal is going to start messing with me today"

His eyes widen again."No that can't be true.She never brakes her promises."The doubt in his voice was so clear it was hard for me not to laugh but I held it in.

"Well tell me if this looks like she's going to keep her promise to you"I said giving him my phone.He read's it looks up at me and then rereads it."Yeah.That's what I thought."I said smirking at the face he was making.I grab the extra set of cloths out of my locker and hurry to the girls restroom.

"Wait"Chris calls after me.

"What Chris?Nothing you can do can make this day any better."I said.I hate to yell at him but sometimes  that's just what you have to do."As a matter of fact you can get Crystal Hills the fuck out of my life."

"You forgot your phone." he said with said eyes.

"Chris I'm sorry but the school is a hellhole for me and you know it.But that doesn't give me the right to yell at you.Hugs?"I ask spreading my arms out with a big smile on my face.

"Forgive me if i don't want to give you a hug right now."he said with a smile on his face.

Laughing I give him a hug anyways,take my phone from his hand and run into the restroom.
