Shadow lives.

Chapter.12

"Ow"! I screamed, Barred stepped on my foot.
"I'm sorry". He smiled, then took my hand. His hands were cold like ice.
"Can you stop touching my girlfriend"? Oh Jesus here we go! I'm sick of their bickering.
"Make me"! Richie shoved him.
"You wanna go"?!
"Yes"! They started to fight each other. I went in the middle of the, and held Richie back.
"Let go of me, let me kill him, I want him dead"! He's acting like the monster here.
"And you call me a monster"! Barred screamed.
"I'll kill you"! Richie broke free from me and tackled Barred.
"Stop it Richie"!
"Your scaring her again"! Barred pointed at me. I was scared, but of Richie not Barred.
"Shut up"! Richie screamed at Barred. I pulled Richie off of Barred once again.
"Your acting like a monster"! I screamed at him. He turned around to me.
"I'm... you.. he... I'm sorry"! He looked down.
"To who"? I asked.
"You".
"Wow thanks pal"!
"Stop asking for trouble"! Richie screamed at him.
"Let's just find Celeste and get out of here.
"Agreed". They both said at the same time. I started walking ahead again, when Richie put his arm around me this time. Then Barred came next to me and smiled.
"Chrissy"!!! Celeste came running to me and hugged me. Richies arm wasn't on me anymore.
"Where were you"? We broke apart form the hug.
"A teacher needed to talk to me". She smiled. We all started walking.
"Do you guys know that song Africa, by toto"? I asked. Barred and Richie shook their heads but Celeste had a big smile.
"Yes I love that song"! Finally someone who knows the song!
"Yay I love it too"!! 
"I hear echoing tonight"! Celeste started to sing.
"I guess it rains down in Africa"! I sang. Richie and barred started to laugh.
"Hurry boy it's waiting there for you"!! She sang.
"Frightened of this thing that I've become"!! I screamed. Celeste and I started doing cart wheels down the hall way.
"Guys wait up"! Barred said laughing.
"Hurry boy she's waiting there for you"!!! Celeste screamed and pointed at Richie. Then Richie came up to me and lifted me up spun me around then put me down. I was laughing.
"Come on let's get out of here"! Barred said.
"For once he's right"! Richie said. Celeste brought Richie and I back to our world, then since the sun was down Barred and Celeste left.
"We have a problem"! Richie said confused.
"What"? Oh god what could it be now?!
"It's only 8"! He started laughing.
"Oh my god, my parents still aren't home"! I laughed too.
"Jesus Christ man"!
"Why did you get so mad today"? His smile was gone.
"He made me mad". Richie sat against the wall.
"How did he get you so mad"? I sat next to him and put my head on his shoulder.
"He was near you and he touched you and he's so horrible"!
"Honestly Richie you were acting more bad than he was". I said softly. I think Richie was either mad or sad right now.
"I was only trying to... never mind you wouldn't understand". He said softly. And scratch being mad or sad he's both.
"Understand what"? I took my head off his shoulder and he looked me in the eye.
"Believe it or not I was trying to protect you". He said that a little cold but I heard soft ness.
"Protect me from what"? I put his hand up to my cheek and put me hand over it.
"You know I love it when you do that". He smiled.
"What were you protecting me from"? I smiled. I know when I do the thing with his hand it's his weakness with me.😏
"Barred". He started to pull me closer to him.
"What is he gonna do to me"? I put his hand down and put my head back on his shoulder again.
"He can actually have feelings for you or he just wants to use you to get to me".
"He seems nice". I should not have said that.
"He's not nice"!
"Ok, but why did you have to attack him? You just made yourself look like a monster". I said softly.
"If I'm a monster then why are you my girlfriend"?! He stood up.
"I never said you were a monster, I said you acted like one".
"I did that for you"! I stood up.
"Calm down". I rubbed his shoulder.
"I am calm". He pushed my hand away lightly.
"What's wrong"?
"Barred, and now you like are on his side".
"Richie, just stop. Your acting like a jerk". He's being so moody... weird!
"Now I'm a jerk and a monster"?
"Richie"...
"Ugh I'm so sick of being the bad guy"!
"..."
"Richie your acting like a monster, your scaring her, stop it"! He said in a mocking tone.
"Take a chill pill".
"Here we go, I'm the bad guy again"!
"What is wrong with you"?! He's acting like a girl on her period.
"Alright I have an idea". He got 2 pens and 2 pieces of paper.
"What the"...
"You right all of my cons and I'll right all of yours".
"What does this have to do with anything"?
"You asked what's wrong with me, so I'm giving you an answer".
"Ok". I started writing
1:moody sometimes.
2:won't tell me things sometimes.
3: different...
I gave Richie my list and he gave me his. Richies list...
nothing
You have no flaws
Your my princess
And I'll always be your prince if you'll have me.
Oh my god! He's so sweet. I feel so bad.
"Different from what"?
