The Difference Between Us {COMPLETED}

The witch in heels (9)

I don't even get a word in when she starts her ranting.

"I went to the library, and Ms. Reed said you went off with some boy. I asked Peyton and she hasn't seen you since the other night when you spent the night, did I mention you DIDN'T call. Why are you acting like this? I understand your mad, but don't you have the decency to call me and tell me where you were? Who's the boy that you went with?"

"Mom-"

"Don't you understand I love you and missed you? You scared me, your the only child and I can't loose you."

"Mom, I'm sorry. Look I just needed some time. I'm sorry I didn't call, and that boy his name is Alex, and he's gay."

"Call me next time, yeah."

"Yeah."

"I've decided that I'm going to give you time, but you will meet your dad, and talk to him. He hurt us, I know, but I think you need a fatherly figure in you life."

"Can't you just date?"

"I'm trying, it's just complicated."

That night my mother and I caught up. She told me about the doctor at the hospital she is kinda dating. I told her about Alex. She told me what my dad said when I ran out. She goes to bed finally, and I go to my room. I'm reading a book when I get a message.

You made me work, muffin.
Haha you work?

I quickly change his name to Jerk.

Jerk- Yea I work. I'm not lazy.
Me- I'm sure.
Jerk- wow, while you ran off with your boyfriend I had to listen to my grandma say how I wasn't putting the books on the shelf right, and how she wished you were there.
Me- I knew your grandma loved me.
Jerk- nah
Me- I have to go, goodnight
Jerk - when are we tutoring?
Me- I'll figure it out.
Jerk- ok
Jerk- wait
Me- what
Jerk- goodnight muffin ;)
Me- goodnight jerk :|

I turn off my phone and put it under my pillow. Closing my eyes, I drift off. I wake up to 5 missed calls and eleven texts. The first 2 calls are from Peyton. The next call is from Alex, and the last two are from Luke. I check the eleven text.

Alex- where are you?
Alex- school is starting.

Jerk- m
Jerk-u
Jerk-f
Jerk- f
Jerk - i
Jerk- n
Jerk- oh wow muffin isn't at school.
Jerk- the world is ending.
Jerk- muffin becoming bad, leaving work, and skipping school.

I look at my clock, holy moly I'm an ten minutes late. I start running around pulling my jeans up buttoning my top. I run to school, my mustang is still there. I enter the class. Everyone averts their attention to me. They all start laughing, I blush. I make an excuse about my clock and sit down. They are still focused on me, until Luke yells at them to turn around.

"Muffin, your hair is beautiful today."

My hands fly to my hair. I put it in a pony tail, I'll fix it in gym. I get through class. I'm in the locker room when Chelsea walks over.

"Wow that was quite an entrance. Did you dad not wake you up today?" She laughs and saunters off.

I run out of the gym. Chelsea used to be my best friend, until the guy she liked, started liking me. We never dated, but she swears up and down that we dated. Truth be told, I've never even had a boyfriend, I haven't even had my first kiss. She knows my dad is a subject I don't want to talk about.

I open the doors and go to the wildflower field. I run a couple of minutes through the woods, but it's worth it. When I hit the field I sit down. I pull out my phone and listen to Bad Things by: Machinggunkelly.

"I thought I was the only one who knew where this was."

I jump, and see Luke behind me.  He sits beside me.

"I found this when my d-"

"When??"

"Never mind."

"It's beautiful." He whispers

"It is." I say

"Wait, why are you here? You were late, now your skipping. I was right you are being a bad girl."

"Bad day, I guess."

"Lie."

"How do you know?"

"When you lie, you bite your lip, what really happened?"

"Bullying, why are you here?"

"Just getting away."

Silence. The silence is so silent that's you could cut it with a knife.

"Monday's, Wednesday's, and Saturdays." Luke says suddenly.

"Hmm."

"That's when we can tutor."

"Why those days?"

"That's when I don't have football practice."

I keep quiet. A few minutes later he sits up and leaves. He doesn't even say bye. I sit there for a while. Actually I skipped two classes just to sit here. I walk all the way to the library, and get in a corner and read. I read three chapters before I go to the desk. I'm just sitting in there when Luke walks in.

"What are you doing here?"

"Muffin it's Wednesday."

"Seriously?"

"By the way your hair is still beautiful."

That's when I realized my worst fears. I never fixed my hair and I have to tutor Luke.

Are you kidding me...
