My eyes where wide open and staring at the ceiling in my room. It was around 11:45pm and my first day of school was tomorrow. I needed sleep but all I could think about was the kiss. It replayed over and over in my mind. His carmel brown eyes and his breathtaking smile where burned in my mind. Although I knew I would see him tomorrow, I still couldn't sleep. I grabbed my iPod off of my nightstand and plugged my ear buds in. Clicking on "The house that built me" by Carrie Underwood, I hit shuffle and closed my eyes letting her amazing voice lull me to sleep.
**********
My alarm woke me at 5am and I dragged myself out of bed. I took a quick shower. When I was done, I brushed out my hair and grabbed a white spaghetti strap dress that fell to just above my knees. I slipped on some white flip-flops and parted my hair to the side. My thin hair framed my face and I put on some light make-up. A thin line of eyeliner, some mascara and some lip gloss. Getting ready took about and hour and a half and school started at 7:50. I went downstairs and ate a quick bowl of cheerios and rushed outside to say goodbye to Carmel and Spartan. I heard a truck pull up and I rolled my eyes. I walked outside and saw Kyle.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm taking you to school. I have to come here everyday after school anyway so we can just ride together." He flashed his smile. "You look beautiful."
I gave him a small smile, blushing. "Thanks. Now let's get going!" I laughed.
He nodded and opened the passenger door taking my backpack and putting in in the back of the truck. I buckled my seatbelt as Kyle got in and did the same, starting the truck. We pulled up to the school and he opened my door and helped me out. He intertwined my fingers with his as we began walking to the gym to get our schedules.
When we walked into the hall, the first person I saw was Emily Jones. When she my hand in Kyle's, she completely freaked out. She shot me a glare and just to piss her off, Kyle kissed me while she was looking at us. She glared again and I smirked. He put his arm around my waist.
When we had our schedule's we compared them to see which classes we had together. Our schedules where the
same:
1) Algebra 2
2) Earth science
3) World history
4) English
5) Wood shop
6) Art
7) Physical Education
8) Homeroom
"Good. I have all of my classes with you," he kissed my lips again and smiled at me.
We walked to Algebra and sat down. He sat next to me and pulled out a red spiral notebook. In sharpie he wrote 'Algebre 2' on it in bold letters. I wrote the same thing on my purple notebook and drew a small flower.
"Good morning class. I'm Mrs. White. I'll pass out the course syllabus and go over it with you." She passed out the syllabus and for the rest of class we read over it and began to learn the rules for her class.
"Boring, yeah?" Kyle whispered.
I nodded and kept listening. The bell rang 15 minutes later.
"Have a good day class. See you all tomorrow."
Kyle grabbed my hand and we walked to our next class, science. Like first period, the rest of our classes consisted of syllabuses and rules for the classes.
Finally the bell rang signalling the end of the day. Kyle ran to his locker and I went to mine. Just as I got the door open, Emily walked up.
"Hey...Marie right?"
"Yeah why." I snapped.
"Oh I just wanted to tell you to back the hell off. Kyle's mine. Because, sweetheart, let's just face facts. Your not his type, your not nearly as beautiful as me, and one more minor detail I haven't mentioned, He likes Girls. Not tomboys." Her cold green eyes landed on mine and a look of pure evil was stuck on her prissy little face.
My eyes threatened to burn with tears at what she said next. "I suggest you dump him or find a way for him to dump you because if you don't, I will make sure those darling little children you call your nieces and nephews will either be severely hurt or will be history all together. So will your stupid horse. All of them will be gone."
"How did you know about them?" I squeak out.
"Well you talk about it enough." She sneers.
Just then Kyle walked up. "Hey babe. Ready to go?"
"Yeah." I whisper.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'll tell you later."
"Okay. See you, Emily."
He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me toward the truck. Once I was buckled in and we where out of the parking lot, he looked at me.
"What's wrong Marie?" Concern thick in his voice.
"Emily. She told me to back off because you where hers and that I shouldnt be with you because I'm not your type, I'm not nearly as beautiful as her, and I'm too much of a tomboy. Then she told me that I had to dump you or you dump me because if I don't she said she will hurt or even kill Westly, Corban, Jessie, Danny, and Carmel. Kyle I'm scared." I sobbed.
I looked through the blur and saw his jaw clenched and his knuckles white from gripping the steering wheel too hard. He was pissed. When we got to the house he got out and went into the barn. I climbed out too and when he saw me his eyes softened instantly.
"Shh. Marie, baby, its okay. I promise I won't let anyone hurt the kids, Carmel or anyone else you love. Honey its okay. Shh." He said as I sobbed into his chest.
He held me tight to him. We heard tires outside and that signaled that my sister, Tyler, and the kids where here. I wiped my eyes and made sure I looked completely normal before I went outside.
"Hey kids. Your gonna go on a trail ride with Kyle while I talk to your mom. He's tacking up your horses now." they nodded and walked into the barn. Tyler followed and decided to go with them.
"What's wrong?" I told Clara about what happened and her eyes went from shock to anger. "So you are with Kyle and she said that if you didn't dump him so she could date him, she was going to hurt Carmel, the kids or anyone in your family?"
I nodded. "That's just sick and wrong. She needs counseling. We're going out of town for a few weeks to go to Texas so we can take Carmel with us. We're driving so the kids can see the states we have to pass through to get there."
"Perfect. Thank you so much. I had to tell you though because your kids where involved. That and I needed to tell someone besides Kyle."
The kids and guys got back around an hour later and they went home. My mom and I ate dinner and I crawled in bed. It'd been a LONG day.
K so I need at least one comment. There isn't enough people willing to comment but this chapter is dedicated to Horsecraze11 for being my only commenter!
