Chapter #4: The Bully

September, Tuesday 6th, 2016

Aquarius's alarm clock went off. She rolled over and slapped to turn it off. She flopped out of her bed and went to find some clothes. She put on the some shorts she wore yesterday and another blue tank with a black bird.

Next thing she heard was someone knocking on the door.

"Aquarius! Can you get that!" Her mother yelled.

"Ok mother!" She yelled back angrily.

Aquarius marched out of her room and down the stairs. She reached for the knob and turned. She flung the door open to see Justin standing there.

"Oh. Morning Justin. Can I help you?" She asked.

"No. I was just wondering if you wanted a ride to school?" He offered.

"I'm not quite ready to go yet...."

"I can wait." He quickly said.

"O..ok then. Come in." She opened the door so Justin could go in.

"Oh! I still have your sweater. I'll go get it." She ran up the stairs and a hallway that ran straight to her room.

Justin looked around, the house was quite large because on both sides there were two door ways to rooms. The one on the right lead to the living room, the other lead to an office room. In the middle of the foyer there was the staircase and the way to the kitchen.

"I found it." She was on the railing when she said that.

"Oh, thanks. You don't have to give it back."

"Yes I do. I don't need anymore sweaters. But thanks." She handed him the sweater.

He took it.

"I just have to get my lunch and my bag then we can leave."

"Ok, take your time."

"You..don't have to wait for me. I can take the bus."

"Yeah I know. I heard that that bus was crazy."

"It sure is. I don't know how that bus driver can drive it."

They both laugh.

"Aquarius. Who are you talking to." Her mother walked in. "Well. Who's your friend?"

"Mom. This is Justin. Justin, this is my mom Amelia." Aquarius introduces them.

"It's nice to meet you." Justin said.

"And you. Now hurry up Aquarius, you might miss the bus."

"Oh no she won't. I'm going to drive her to school." Justin jumps in.

"Oh. Well...you should hurry up." Amy walks back to the kitchen.

Aquarius throws her arms in the air and marches back up the stairs. But she quickly comes back with her bag and a black leather jacket, which she was trying to put on. She races into the kitchen, grabs her lunch and starts to pull Justin out the door. When she closes it she let's go of him.

"I'm sorry." She apologized.

"What for?" He asks.

"My mother. I get sooo frustrated with her." Aquarius explained.

"It's fine. Really. I know where you're coming from. I have a younger sister. She's very annoying."

"Well, you're lucky to have a sibling. I would like to have one. Just to talk to would be great."

They started getting into the truck, Justin started it and got out of the drive way and turned right to where the school was.

About 10 minutes later they pulled into the parking lot and got out. As they were walking to the school the other students started looking at them.
