Chapter 46

*Penny*

"So yea the next time you wanna get all smart at the mouth,you should get your facts straight." Ray said,sitting on the couch beside Peyton.

"I'm sorry."

"Its fine Penny." Peyton smiled.

I smiled a little then got up and walked back to my room,feeling a bit guilty.

"You alright?" Craig asked,stepping out from his room.

I gave him a dirty look. "Whats it to you?"

He sighed. "Can you please tell me what I did to you at least?"

"No."

He looked at the ground. "Well penny, i'm going to apoligize for whatever I did. And no matter how much you stay mad at me,i'm still going to love you."

My heart melted when he said that,and I caught myself smiling. He looked at me with hopeful eyes.

"You dont know how much i've missed that smile." He grinned. I chuckled and walked up to him,hugging him.

"I'm sorry for the way i've been acting lately. I dont know whats wrong with me." I pulled away,and he gave me a small grin.

"Yea. And i'm sorry if I was rude to you."

I smiled. "Can we be bestfriends again?" I asked.

"What about being my girlfriend?" He asked,grabbing my hand.

"Hmm. I hate being in a serious relationship. Lets just have fun for now." I smiled.

He nodded,giggling.

"So..... Last person to the smack cabinet has ugly toes." I said,taking off before I finished my sentence. I laughed once he caught up to me,picking me up and tossing me over his shoulder.

"So like we start school tomorrow. Even though all we'll be doing is taking finals since the school year is almost over." He said,putting me down on the couch and walking to the kitchen to get some snacks.

He threw me a bag of chips,and a coke.

"Yea."

"You ready for that?"

"No."

He chuckled.

"Well,Chres and Kenya are going off to college soon."

"Yes! Now i'm really ready for that." I said,jumping on the couch.

He just chuckled,shaking his head at me.

*Amaya*

We were all just sitting around,watching movies,when there was a knock on the door all of a sudden. We all looked confused,because clearly we had no one that would visit us,and Marquan was out of town.

Chres got up,opening the door. A gun was quickly put to his head and he was shoved inside. We all screamed,jumping up on the couch. Three men walked in,and my heart dropped.

"Don't tell me you forgot about us?" E said,chuckling so evilly it sent chills down my spine.
