Neighbor (ON HOLD)

Fifteen

Semi-edited

When I was finshed with P.E, I moved on to my next classes and before I knew it, the bell rung to go home. I still worried about everyone who was on my mind today. I worried how I was going to handle everybody at once. I probably wasn't going to handle them all at once but the trouble each of them had would be on my mind so yes, it I would have to handle them all at once. How was I going to do that?

I already had homework to worry about. I groaned as I unlocked the combination to my locker and grabbed out my books for homework and stuffed them into my back pack. I sighed and slide my hair behind my ears. I had so much to worry about today and to be honest I wasn't ready for it. I mean who is? I'm a teenager and we do have problems, but I hate these kind. Drama problems I'm not really good with. Ugh, I really, really, really hate this.

"Yeah, I don't know about that, Rog. He seemed pretty nervous."

"Hell yeah, he should be nervous." Roger laughed on the other end. Okay, did I miss something?

"What are you talking about?" I asked him, walking home from school. I called him on my way out of the school. Ian wasn't there to meet me. He told me to meet him after school at the entrance. He never showed up and I waited like an hour.

"Well, remember that day when we were walking out of school and Ian was there to greet you?"

I nodded, even though he couldn't see me. "Yeah." I answered when I realized he couldn't see my nod. He was waiting for my answer cause he hadn't said anything.

"After you ran off, we traded a few words. I got really pissed because of what he said about you and so I kinda punched him and made a deal with him."

"A deal? Why on earth would you make a deal?" What on earth did Ian say to make Roger so angry?

"He just said some stuff that he didn't need to say." He answered gruffly. I nodded...again. Slowly. I'm so sorry I brought him into this, I thought.

Brought him into what? I asked myself. I sighed.

I don't know. I shook my head, my hand patting my thigh.

"Jennipher?" I heard Roger's voice say.

"Yeah..." I answer, pressing my lips together. I hope I wasn't speaking out loud again. It's so embarrassing.

Well, it's better than melting to the ground, I told myself.

"I was saying that you didn't bring me to anything. I was like Ian before, you know...when we use to hang out." Wow, I knew they hang out, but I didn't know Roger used to be a Bad boy. Whoa. It kinda makes him look sexy- Shut up! So, I did say it out loud, I realized. I slammed my palm against my forehead.

"Wow. That sounds like some pretty interesting non-boring history." I said, teasingly. Roger chuckled.

"Fuck you, Jenni."

I laughed. My phone beeped.

"Hold on, Rog." I told him, pulled my phone away from my ear after he said Alright and looked at my screen. It was Aimee. I placed my phone back to my ear. "I'll call you back, it's Aimee."

"Alrig- Kia! Oh, my Kia! What happened. Shit-!" The phone disconnected. I looked at my screen, silently panicking. Oh, God. What was wrong with Kia? I know she wasn't my friend anymore and I didn't even think about her either but just hearing Roger scream her name like that, it scared the shit out of me. I didn't know it, but I was holding my breath. I exhaled sharply and ran my fingers through my hair, taking it all to one side. My phone rang, making me jump back and out of my thoughts. I shivered and pressed the answer button. I placed it to my ear.
