LANDON
I looked at the girl Kaylie sat with at lunch. Her black hair shimmering in the florescent light, giving off a glint of rainbow. Her gray eyes were astonishing, and I longed to just look at them for hours. Of course I would never, according to everyone else she was the major loser of this school. I can never talk to her.
"So are you going to come over tomorrow or what?" She asked me. I stared at her for a long time and shook my head.
"Look, you may not care about grades, or what college you are getting into, but that is ALL I think about. If you are going to risk this I want a new partner." She said as she glared at me. I smiled.
"Why don't you just come over and tell people who ask that you are going to be there for Kaylie? That way no one has to know that we are partners." I told her. Wow, that sounded so rude. Oh well. I looked around.
"Whatever." She sighed and the bell rang. I am so done with today. I might as well leave. I walked outside to my truck and drove to my friends house.
Braydon went to my old school. He was m best friend, has been since like we were in diapers.
"Hey." He signed to me. Braydon was deaf. He has been since he was five. When he was in a car accident. His mom died, me and my mom were ok, I had a broken arm. We were on our way to my aunts house the day it happened.
"What's up?" I signed back. She shrugged and walked into his dark, black, room.
'How is your new school?' He asked me in his special way.
'Boring, I skipped my last class.'
'Six again this year?'
'Yea'
'I thought seniors only got five.'
'We usually do.' He looked at me with his big brown eyes and sighed. He was disappointed in me.
'What did you have to repeat this year?' he asked.
'Math.' He nodded understandingly. I sat down on the mahogany bed and took out his computer. He was working on writing a novel, which I came to read everyday. He was good, and I liked what he wrote, even if it was a little girly and about love. It was the true story of his life, with some names changed of course.
'Hows Martha?' I asked. Martha was his wife. They got married when Braydon turned 17, a year ago, It was an arranged marriage, but he loved her, and she loves him now.
'She's OK. She as at the hospital right now though, they think it might be twins.' He said referring to the baby that Martha was carrying.
'What are you going to do if its twins?' I signed.
'I'm thinking she might want to put one up for adoption, considering how much she didn't want to have the first one.'
'If you ever need someone, I'll adopt one of them, so they can grow up together.' I offered.
'I figured you would want to. I just don't think that if it went to the adoption agency they would give it to you.'
'Then just sign me over custody the minute its born.'
'I think you're getting a call.' He told me and pointed to my blackberry on the chrome desk.
"Hello?" I said.
"Dad says you need to come home. NOW." Kaylie said. I sighed heavily into the phone.
"Fine see you in a few." I hung up on her.
'I need to go home.' I signed to Braydon. He nodded. I went out to my truck and waved goodbye as I backed out of the drive way. He waved goodbye back. in a few minutes I was sitting in my house. On the tan leather couch in the living room.
"Landon, I think we need to talk." My dad sat down across from me.
"What?" I asked, annoyed.
"Well, I think it's about time that you got your priorities in check. School, then work, then friends. Not the other way around. And because grounding or anything else wont work with you I've been reduced to what I have done. I paid a lot for this, so you HAVE to do it. If you don't I have no other choice but to send you to jail." JAIL! WTF why would I go to jail?
"Kaylie, please bring her in." Her. Her who? What's going on?
"Landon, this is Chalice, She is going to be your wife. I suspect that she will be a good influence on you." HER! Her of all people. How can he make e marry HER. how is that going to look to everyone else.
"Wait?what? Kay, I thought you said I was just going to come over. Ha. Ha. very funny. Seriously, lets go upstairs." She said in her whimsical voice.
"Look, My dad isn't kidding. He paid a lot of money to make your mom force you to marry him." the look on her face...PRICELESS.
