Notice Me (Jamona)

Chapter 8

Then he sighs, "listen, you know when I went upstairs to finish that argument with my mom? Well she told me that if I started to get along with you again, because she's noticed how we drifted apart. That she may lower the days of me being grounded"

I sit there, I probably look stupid with my mouth wide open right now, he was only talking to me because he didn't want to be grounded anymore.

"You're such a jerk" I blurt out.

He shrugs his shoulders "oh well, and now that know why I was talking to you, can you pretend to be friends with me when my moms around?"

"No, I will not be your little toy to play with just so you can have your friends over to the house again, so you're gonna have to do this the hard way and earn my friendship"

"But mom says if I don't become friends with you sooner then I'm going to be grounded longer" He pouts.

"Well that sucks for you, now doesn't it?" I push him out of the way and I open the doors to the elevator and I walk out, with my confidence boosted. I just stood up to someone, yay!

"Where was this confidence, when Lola gets all up in your face?" Zoey asks me after I tell her the story about the whole elevator thing with Jackson.

"It's different with her, to be honest she scares me" I admit, and Zoey rolls her eyes.

"Jackson is in such a bad mood" Max says when he walks into my room.

"When is he not?" I say.

"True" Max says then he closes my room door. "I have a feeling when mom gets home from work there will be an argument"

"Doesn't DJ get off work in like ten minutes? Hey Max let's go make some popcorn, I always wanted to see Jackson get yelled at in person" and with that said Zoey and Max both hop off my bed and make there way out of my room.

I guess I'll watch Jackson in get trouble too.

I walk out my room following behind them, and we make our way into the kitchen. "This is going to be so good" Max exclaims.

"Right?!" Zoey agrees with him, pulling a bag of popcorn out of the cabinet.

I laugh a little at them and then I stop when I hear a door being unlocked.

"Forget the popcorn, let's go" Zoey drops the bag and she makes a run for it towards the living room pushing Max out of the way, causing him to face plant into the floor.

I try not to laugh, when I help him up and we rush into the living room, jumping onto the couch.

"Okay everyone act casual" Zoey whispers to us.

"You hurt my face" Max whines.

"Ugh, shut up" Zoey picks up a couch pillow and smacks Max in the face with it.

We finally get ourselves situated on the couch and the door opens revealing DJ. "HEY EVERYONE I'M- oh you guys are already on the couch, Hey Zoey"

"Hey DJ" Zoey greets back.

We then here frantic footsteps coming down the stairs revealing a very angry, very red (so red it could resemble an apple or a baboons butt.) face Jackson.

"Mom, can you please unground me? I feel so alone." Jackson says as he makes his way towards DJ, now standing in front of her.

"No" DJ says simply.

"But pleaseeeee, Lola wanted me to come over but I couldn't because I'm stuck in here"

"Well you can still talk to Max and Ramona" DJ gestures to the both of us, and Max waves at Jackson.
