Talk to Me

Part 1: No way in hell.

"No, no, no way, Z, no way in hell." I protested as I grabbed the last apple from the fruit tray in the lunch line. Z, or Zoey, was my best friend, which was now a debatable label considering what she was asking me to do. 

"Oh, come on! Please! It's just one date! He really likes you and it would break his heart if you said no." Z begged, she frowned as she saw that I got a hold of the last apple and followed the line down to pay for our lunch. I shook my head at her offer once more, she groaned like child. Typical Zoey behaviour. "Stasia, please." She pleaded once more as we sat down at our usual table with out unusual friends. 

"No, I'm not going to go out with your cousin, he looks at my boobs all the time and as flattering as that might be to you, it's uncomfortable for me." I said taking a bite of my apple. Z was trying to get me to date her creepy cousin that apparently has dad a crush on me since freshman year. 

"That's your fault for having such beautiful boobs, not Martins." She pointed out causing me to roll my eyes at her statement. 

"You do have pretty nice boobs," Budded in our 'lovely' friend Kyle. I slapped his arm causing him to laugh, followed by laughs around the table. Kyle and I were friends since the fifth grade so these kind of topics weren't that weird around him. 

"Wait, what's going on? Are you going on a date with Martin?" Asked my blonde friend Amber who I wanted to slap in the face from time to time. 

"NO." "YES" Z and I said at the same time. Z shot a pleading look at me. Oh no, she was giving me her puppy dog eyes, shit. She knew what kind of effect this had on me. 

"No, Z, N- ugh, fine! But ONE date, only one! And it has to be in a public place, I don't want to be alone with that boy." I gave in, regretting every word I just said. She smiled at me and hugged me really tight. 

"Yes of course, whatever you want! Thank you thank you thank you!" 

I rolled my eyes and focused the rest of my attention on my food, Kyle started talking about football tryouts and how 'pumped' he was and Amber began talking about cheer tryouts, a topic she brought up a lot that made me want to slap her... You see Amber and I have a weird relationship, we are there for each other, always have been since middle school, but we didn't have much in common, she was to peppy and girly all the time while I'm more conservative and casual. 

Overall the rest of the lunch was pretty standard talk, nothing too exciting happened, the bell rung for fifth period and we all went out separate ways. I was too busy thinking about what I have gotten my self into with Martin to pay attention to where I was going causing me to bump into someone. 

"Sorry," I said turning my head to the person I bumped into, my eyes widened when I realized who it was, but I quickly put on a normal expression, the last thing I needed was for him to think he scared me.

"Maybe you should watch where you're going." The one and only Jace Walters spat, anger in his tone. Jace was Riverside's bad boy, anyone who was smart usually didn't get on his bad side, as of three seconds ago I lost all intelligence I had in me. 

"Excuse me?" I questioned crossing my arms, I felt like my mother... ew. 

"Did I stutter?" He questioned back as he stepped forward.

"Look here, needle dick, your cold stare and angry tone might have all these idiots on their toes, but I'm not one of them. So let's cut the 'I'm so bad you better be scared of me' act, kay?" I let out surprising myself at the way I was handling the situation, I always imagined myself stuttering and shaking if I were ever to have a conversation let alone a bump in with Jace, but here I was being a boss ass bitch. "You bumped into me just as much as I bumped into you, so maybe YOU should watch where YOU'RE going that way WE won't have this little run in ever again." And with that I walked away from him, not sure what his reaction or facial expression was. He was probably pissed and plotting my murder, but it was very well worth it, I wasn't going to let him think he intimidated me, which frankly he didn't.

"Mom, I'm home." I yelled from the entrance of my house, I threw my bag on the couch of the living room and walked over to the kitchen where I found my mother in tears talking on the phone with someone. I gave her a look of concern and she held up her hand as a way of telling me to hold on. 

"Uhuh. Yes, I know Barbra, it broke my heart when I heard this too," My mom spoke into the phone letting tears roll down her face, I grabbed the tissues from the counter and handed her a few of them. "Oh, yes, I know, I feel so bad for him, this must be so hard on him, he's so young..." At this point I was confused as to what was going on, it could have literally been anything. "I would love to Barbra, but I'm going to have to speak to Roger first, make sure he's ok with it. Ok? Alright, Barbs, I'll talk to you later." My mom then hung up the phone and blew her nose. 

"Mom is everything alright?" I asked walking over to her and giving her a hug. 

"Your aunt Lilian and uncle Frank died this morning." She said as tears began to form in her eyes again. 

"Oh my gosh, that's so sad! Wait, who are they?"  I asked feeling a bit guilty that I had no idea who she was talking about. 

"They are old friends from high school, you only met them when you were a baby, but Lilian was always a very good friend of mine." She explained, crying. Again. I didn't really know what to say but sorry, I took her in for another hug and then she sent me up to my room while she went to go talk to my dad about something. 

I ran up to my room and plopped down on the bed, I wanted to start my homework, but my body was too lazy to get up and actually do it, so I decided to do it tomorrow considering it was friday. I walked over to my computer and logged on to tumblr. yes I'm one of those girls, don't judge me. 

A few hours passed by and I frowned at the fact that I hit post limit, it pissed me off that there was a post limit, it made no sense to me all, just as I was about to write yet another letter to my dear tumblr. staff, my mom called me from downstairs to go eat dinner. I ran downstairs and sat in my usual spot, but there was something wrong. My parents were both staring at me, and it wasn't the, 'we're so lucky to have a daughter like you' stare, it was the 'we have some news' stare. 

"So we have some news," See! I should be a psychic. I looked over at my father who was looking at me. "You heard about your aunt Lilian and uncle Frank, right?" I nodded. "Well, they have a 17 year old son and he literally has no where to go, so as promised to Lilian and Frank years ago, we are going to take him in." I nodded, then I shook my head because I wasn't sure if I wanted some random guy to come and live with me but then I thought on how hard this must be on him right now and nodded again. 

"He should be here any minute now, so when he comes we need you to make him feel as comfortable and welcome as possible." My mother told me making me nod my head again. This was starting to hurt my neck. Just then we heard a knock on the door, my mom ran to open it. I heard her say hi to him and I imagined that she hugged him, then her voice came closer to us and that's when I almost had a heart attack. 

It was Jace Walters. This had to be some sort of mistake. I shook my head, making my father look at me with concern and my mom widen her eyes because she knew what was coming. "NOO, no way in hell! Not him." I let out.
