The Runaway

Chapter 3

Next day...

I got ready, and left for school. I was walking into school when I saw Ryan. He was gardening. I remembered that was our thing. I just stood their, and stared at him. He looked at me, and was about to wave, but instead he stood up. He had the brightest smile on his face. I thought it was for me. But I was wrong. He ran towards my direction, but ran past me.

I looked back, and saw Brittany. I looked down sadly. I kept walking in the school. Before I did though I saw him show her how to garden. But she looked bored as soon as he started to garden. She stood up, and walked away. I wanted to punch the heck out of her. He just stayed there looking down at the ground. I slowly yet quietly walked to him and stood there. He looked at me, and a slight breeze of wind came. It made my hair flow along with it.

"Are you okay Ryan? " I asked.

"Yeah. " he said, and stood up. "It's just that no one likes the way I am. " he continued.

"It's because if Brittany isn't it? " I asked. "And if it helps I like the way you are. " I continued and looked down at my feet. "Even before you changed. " I said.

"No don't you dare blame Brittany! And your opinion doesn't matter! " he shouted. I scooted back a little. I took a present out if my book bag.

"You care more about her than our friendship. Well guess what she didn't even remember today was your birthday. " I said. I threw the present on the floor and stomped on it. I picked it cup, and got cut a bit. But that's because the present had glass. I started to bleed.

"Are you okay? " he asked.

"Why would you care? Why don't you go ask Brittany if she isn't a hoe? Or why don't you go make sure she isn't using you? " I asked, and left. I ran to the bottom if the school. Where you can recycle, and throw away stuff. I threw away his present, but put the picture in my backpack. My eyes got teary. I just realized what I said.

'Maybe I should think before I talk. I didn't mean to start a war between us. And I just crossed the line.' I thought to myself. I looked at my hands, and saw that I kept bleeding. I went to the nurse, she just looked at me shocked. She wrapped what looked like a bandage around my hands. Both of them actually because they were both bleeding.

She finished, and I left. I went into my class, and sat down. I didn't do p.e, or have to write at all. Lily saw my hands, she was really worried so she pushed everybody out of the way.

"Felicity! What happened are you okay?!" She asked shouting. She took both of my hands, and looked at them. I slowly took them away from her. I saw Ryan walk in, so I looked away.

"I-I don't want to talk about it. " I said. Brittany looked at me disgusted. I stood up, and scolded her.

"What?" I asked in an aggressive way.

"What? " she asked.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

"Why would I have to look at you? There is nothing to look at. " she said, and laughed. I slowly nodded my head.

"Start laughing now, but I can... " I cut myself off. I was about to blurt out the truth.

"What was that? Can you finish up the sentence I want to know what you said. " she said, and laughed. "Unless you have nothing else. " she continued.

"Shut the hell up you hoe. I can beat you up even with two beat up hands. " I said.

"You wanna go? " she asked.

"Yes I do! " I shouted. We both scolded each other. Then she charged at me. I dodged her, and looked at her. We we're both about to hit, when Ryan was holding her back, and a guy named Austin was holding me back. We both struggled to get out of their grip, but we eventually gave up. They both took us out of the class room.

Austin took me away. And Ryan took Brittany away. I just sighed. I looked at my hands. If only I could use them now. I just want to use them, so I can beat the hell out of her.

"I've never seen you like that. What's up? " Austin said. I looked up at him. Austin had blueish, purple hair. He has kind blue eyes. He also had piercings. But no matter what he was always nice.

"It's nothing. " I replied.

"But you were literally about to fight her. " he said.

"She just thinks she's all that. She gets on my nerves. I know she's my best friends cousin, and all but... " I cut my self off. He nodded his head.

"You know no matter what I'm always here for you, and if you need to talk to somebody about anything, I'll be here for you. " he said. I looked back up at him again. I gave him a soft warm smile. And he did the same back to me.

"Thanks Austin I really appreciate it. " I said.

"It's no problem. " he said. There was just an awkward silence between us.

"I'm moving. " I said, and looked down.

"What?! " he asked.

"Oh, sorry we're just moving houses. " I said, and he let out a sigh of relief.

"Wait, but you still are going to this school, right? " he asked.

"Oh yeah. I will still go to this school. " I said. "It's because we don't like the apartment we are living in, so we want to move into a house of our own. " I continued.

"Oh. " he said.

"Yeah. " I said. "Hey Austin. " I said. He looked at me a bit confused

"Yeah? " he asked.

"Thanks for taking the time to talk to me. Well it was mostly me, but it's good that I know someone will be there to listen to me, so thanks. " I said, and hugged him. He hugged me back.

"It's no problem what, so ever. As long as your happy I'm happy. " he said. I stood up.

"Well I better get going. I'm going to help my brothers start to pack. " I said.

"Wait I'll go get you bag. " he said, and ran to the classroom. He came back with my book bag.

"Thank you. " I said. "I'll see ya tomorrow. " I continued.

"Bye. " he said, and gave me a small wave. I waved back at him, and left to my apartment. I saw everything was already packed, so my jaw dropped. I went to my room, and everything was still the same. I started to pack.
