When everyone stopped I ran

chapter two: projects...

Toi's Pov

I got into my car with my mom.  Brett must have went somewhere with his friends or something.  "Hey, how was your second day?  Any better?"  Asked my mom awkwardly.  Me and my mom don't exactly have a very close bond.  "It was alright I guess."  I answered.  I was kind of upset that Skylar couldn't hang out.  She's always doing something.  I'm not mad at her cause it's not her fault.  I only have two things really to look forward to every week, dance.... and dance.  I have dance on Wednesdays and Thursdays and today is Tuesday which means today is danceless.  Oh that reminded me I couldn't see Skylar tommorow or the next day. I had dance. (Skylar has dance on Monday.) I do Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Lyrical.  I love dance a lot.  It's really the one thing I'm good at.  I'm definitely not Sophia Lucia good, but good.  We pulled into the drive way.  I got out of the car and walked inside.  I took off my shoes and went upstairs to my room.  I sat down on my bed and played Survivalcraft on my i Phone.  Then I got a text.  "Wow, that never happens."  I thought.  I checked the message, and it was from Alyssa.  In other words, the really annoying girl who I just had to get paired up with.  The only good thing about her being my partner is that she basically did all the work.  At first she seemed nice, then after I told her I dance she said, "You should totally try out for cheer!"  and after that, I think you pretty much know how things went, but I'll tell ya anyway.  I tried to be nice about it at first, I said "I think I'm gonna stick with dance."  Then she said, "Why?  Then I said "Well, I'm not a huge fan of cheer."  Then she flipped out and said, "Well dance is stupid!  Cheer is way better and harder."  After she said that, I defended dance.  "No, cheer is stupid and dance is WAY more harder, I bet you can't even do a split!"  I said.  I knew some cheer was hard, but I doubted the kind she did was.  Then after that, she'd write like two sentences then insult me.  She said, "And to think l was gonna ask you to join my group."  I rolled my eyes.  "I don't wanna be on your group."  I replied.  Then she rolled her eyes then wrote, then insulted me again.  And that was pretty much how things went.  I looked at the text.  It said, I guess we have to work on the paper :( so come over so we can get it over with.  Then she texted me her address.  I sighed then texted back.  Whatever, I'll be over in a few minutes.  I texted back.  I ran downstairs.  I went into the kitchen where my mom was washing the dishes.  "Hey mom, I'm going to Alyssa's.  I should be back in time for dinner."  I said knowing she didn't know who Alyssa was.  I didn't want her to ask, but of course she did.  "Who's Alyssa?  Is she your new friend?"  She asked.  "More like new enemy."  I thought to myself.  But I decided it would be better if I just told her that she was my friend.  "Yeah... she lives about two blocks away, can I go."  I asked.  "Sure.  Just be back by dinner."

"Kay, see ya later." 

I put my shoes back on and ran out the door.

I got on her block and immediately saw her house.  It was HUGE.  I ran up to the door and rung the fancy little door bell.  "I'm finally going to someones house who isn't Skylar, and it's someone who's as annoying as poop."  I thought.   The door opened and I saw Alyssa.  She frowned.  "Let's get this over with."  She said.  "Agreed."  I answered.  We walked past a huge dining room, then walked into a huger living room with a huge couch.  Everything was HUGE.  We sat down on the huge couch.  "My mom and dad are working and my older sister is out, so it's just you and me..."

"Whatever."

"Guess what?" 

"What?"

"I lied."

Then I heard the sound of feet.  About seven girls in garnet and gold cheer uniforms walked into the room.  They all had huge garnet and gold bows right on the top of their heads.  They were all holding a bunch of make up.  Alyssa stood up and took off her long coat revealing a cheer uniform.  I thought it was weird that she was wearing a winter jacket inside of her house.  One of the girls walked up to her and handed her a huge bow like the others had.  Alyssa clipped it on the top of her head and smirked at me.  "What the heck is going on?"  I asked.  "Were just gonna give you a little make over, right girls?"  Said Alyssa.  "Right!"  They all said at the same time.  "No, your not.  I'm leaving."  I said.  I got up, but two of the cheerleaders knocked me back down on the couch.  I got up again and pushed them away.  Then I got back up and I got about five feet away from the couch, then two other cheerleaders pushed me back onto the couch.  Then Alyssa stuck a huge bow on the top of my head.  I pushed her away and ran towards the door.  This time, everyone who tried to get me back I kicked away.  I got to the dining room and yelled.  "Finish the stupid paper yourself!"  I ran out the door and ran down the street without looking back.  I got a block away then realized I still had the stupid bow on.  I stopped running.  I ripped the bow off of my head, threw it on the ground and stomped on it.  Then I started walking.  "Their vicious!"  I said to myself.  I got to my street then realized that when I got home my mom would ask me why I came back so soon.  So I decided to walk around the block a few times.  I walked around about seven times, then checked my phone.  It was five seventeen.  I decided that was long enough so I walked inside my house.  I saw Brett on the couch watching tv with one of his friends that were talking to us earlier, it was Luke.  I looked at the tv and saw that they were watching the Phillies.  They were winning five to two in the bottom of the sixth against the Red Sox.  They were so into the game that they didn't even realize that I was there.  I took off my shoes and walked past the tv.  Then Brett gave me his usual greeting for me.  "Hey toilet!"  He said.  I turned around.  "Hey."  I said walking into the kitchen.  Then I realized that Luke didn't know my name was toilet.  I walked back into the room.  "You mean Taylor."  I said to Brett through clenched teeth.  Brett and Luke started laughing.  "Why are you guys laughing?"  I said.  They calmed down.  "He told me."  Said Luke smiling.  I was SO mad at Brett right now.  I wanted to punch  something.  Luke must have saw that I was mad and stopped smiling.  "It's no big deal.  Don't worry about it."  He said sounding like he actually cared.  I sat down on the couch and stared at the tv even though I wasn't paying complete attenition. Normally, I would have payed attention, I love watching the phillies but I was to busy thinking. I really had a bad day, first I couldn't be Skylar's partner, then I had to be Alyssa's partner. Then Skylar couldn't come over then those stupid cheerleaders and now Brett just had to tell about my name. Ugh! "Is somehing else wrong?" Brett asked looking at me. "No." I said. "Ok." said Brett completely satisfied with my answer. That's the thing about Brett he'll ask what's wrong, which is nice... I guess, but once I tell him nothing he doesn't take a second to think about that I might just saying nothing is wrong, which I usually am.  I was going to go to my room, but I didn't. I just walked into my hallway and stood there. I was bored I really didn't know what to do, I walked into the room we keep our computer in. I sat down. For about 5 minutes when Luke walked in. "Ok tell me." He said. "Tell you what?" I asked.  "Do you really think I believed that nothing was wrong?" Luke asked.  "I dunno." I said.  He made a face.  "Yeah, ya do." he said. "All right." I said. I told him everything. "Hmmm Alyssa does sound annoying.... Why don't you come the living room with us?" He asked
