Sweet Revenge (Book One)

Pinned in a Situation

When we finally arrived at her house, she walked into the living room and started talking to her mother. Danielle walked into the bathroom and closed the door. I sat on the floor in the dining room, being bored, and just stared off into space until she came back out. She had a wrap around her ankle and the bottom of her foot. I glanced down and saw a text message from David. I opened the message up.

"Hey baby, what's up?" he sent me and I smirked at that even though he tried to get me to send him a picture of me. I wasn't going to send him that type of picture anyways; I'd get in trouble if I did.

"Sitting in Danielle's house, she's wrapping a bandage 'round her foot." I sent him and Danielle turned the TV on. We were trying to figure out what to watch when her mother yelled for her. She got up and walked into the living room. I looked at my phone and saw a message from Scott.

"Hey, I was wondering if you'd go out with me?" Scott sent me and I sighed. Scott was a musician from Parmalee. The whole band was my best friend but I could never date any one of them. I took a deep breath and received a message from David.

"Oh ok. Can you send me a picture?" he asked and I thanked God that he wasn't being specific like he was last time. I searched through all my pictures, looking for the best one then sent it to him.

"Scott, I'm going to have to decline. You know better than to ask me out, don't you?" I sent him then set my phone on the floor. Danielle came walking back in and decided that we should watch Scream 4. I was alright with that just as long as she didn't try to pull any stupid jokes off after the movie.

"Claire, please give me a chance." Scott sent me and I sighed.

"You know that I can't. Then the rest of your friends will think that they can go out with me as well and I can't handle the publicity." I sent to him. Danielle and I laid on the floor and watched the movie with popcorn. She looked over at me.

"What's wrong?" she asked and I tried to shake it off but she knew that something was wrong.

"Scott is trying to ask me out." I finally confessed. She stared at me with her mouth open.

"You mean Scott from Parmalee?" she asked and I slowly nodded my head.

"He knows my boundaries. I can't handle the publicity and you know that just like he does. I declined his offer." I said and she stared at me with disbelief and content.

"You got to be joking me. You could've ended up on a cover of a magazine! What has gotten into you?" she asked and I shook my head.

"I don't want to become popular by dating a celebrity even if his band broke up. It won't happen." I said and she let it go by looking back at the TV screen. I glanced back at my phone.

"Fine, I guess. Just friends?" Scott asked and I caved in a little.

"We're just friends, nothing more than that." I sent him even though I started to have feelings for him but I wasn't going to admit that to him or anyone else. Right after that message sent, I got a message from David. I smiled as I opened the message.

"Dang girl, you're hot and I mean it." he sent and I had to roll my eyes because no guy called me hot before and never will. It just made my day though even if he thought I was.

"If you say so because I know that I'm not hot. I'm probably way out of your league as well." I sent then looked over at Danielle who was zoned into the TV. I decided to scare her by tickling her side and it make her yelp.

"Hey! What was that for?" she asked and I shrugged my shoulders as I laughed my head off.

"I just wanted to know what your reaction would have been if I tickled your side." I said as she shoved me away then my phone vibrated. It was just Matt.

"You can have it your way but I know that you have feelings for me." he sent. I sighed as I closed my eyes.

"I don't have feelings for you. What do I have to do to get that through your thick head?" I sent to him and I got a message from David.

"I'm serious 'bout you being hot. You're not out of my league. You're just my type." he sent and I shook my head. I know what David had put Lisa through but he was really handsome and I fell for him harder than a girl would for a football player or model. I seriously needed help to get out of the situation before something bad happened.

"Only in your dreams, David. I'm not hot, maybe beautiful but not hot." I sent to him and laid against Danielle, she didn't mind it at all. The movie was finally over and we decided to hang out in her bedroom for the rest of our time until I had to leave.
