I'm a Tough Cookie

Chapter 4

Fuck, she walked out again. I kissed her and she walked out and now I don't know where the fuck she went. I looked in the mirror to see a bruise forming on my jaw where she punched me last night. I had to use my mom's foundation to cover up the bruise it was a little noticeable but not to noticeable. I walked out of the bathroom and grabbed my bag. Walking out to the kitchen I made something to eat before leaving. I was hoping that she would come back, I want to show her my caring side but clearly that's not happening. I finished eating whatever I had for breakfast and jumped in my car. I had a white Corvette Z06 car that my parents got me but seeing Sheri in her Jaguar car I was jealous that her car was better than mine.

I got to school and saw Sheri with that same boy from yesterday well at least she came to school but what caught my eye was that his arm was around her shoulders. That should be me I don't know why I'm getting jealous over this but it build a rage inside me. The bell rang and I went to class with a pissed look on my face. I sat down and put my head down not listening to what the teacher had to say.

I saw Sheri hanging with that guy again so I went over to Sheri and grabbed her arm.

"Chase! What the hell!" she pulled her arm from grasp and looked at me. The guy that she was with blocked her from my view

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he growled

"She can fend for herself, why are you fending for her?" I asked him

"No shit I know that and I'm fending for her cause she's my girl" he said I looked behind him to see Sheri grabbing his arm and begging him to go, "Eric let's go, he's not worth it" she said and lightly pulled his arm in her direction.

He glared at me and balled one of his hands in a fist. I smirked and stood proud, "Sheri you're little man can't do nothing for shit" I said cockily she turned around as fast as him and walked over to me pushing my chest and made me stumble a little, "Shut the fuck up Chase, unless you want another episode to happen to your face like last night" she threatened her voice going dark. Eric wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her away. I don't know what came over me but I lunged forward and punched him in the jaw. He released Sheri and held his jaw spitting out blood in the process.

Sheri looked at him, "Eric don't" but it was too late he lunged at me and flew his fist at me hitting the same spot that Sheri hit me. Eric and I started to fight and throw punches at each other and slamming each other on the ground. Sheri stepped in and grabbed Eric, "Eric stop" she pushed us apart leaving both of us panting and bloody.

"Chase stay the fuck away from us" was all she said and walked away with her boyfriend. Eventually I was called into the principles office and was met with Eric and Sheri sitting in their chairs. I sat down and looked at the principle, I walked out of the principles office pissed after the talk with the principle I was to serve detention everyday after school. It wasn't a bad punishment but detention is boring on the bright side I wasn't suspended or expelled. I walked out of the school and jumped in my car. The rest of the day I ditched school and went home.

I was laying on my bed and I heard the front door open I got up and walked out of my room thinking maybe it was Sheri but it was my mom and she was quiet which meant that she was mad and normally she's never mad. I cleared my throat to make my presence known, "Mom?"

She slammed her glass of water down on the counter and glared at me, "Really Chase? A fight, you got into a fight a school! You're lucky that you weren't expelled or suspended! I was called into the principles office and was met with Sheri and the kid that you beat up, his mom was in the office. Sheri said she'll stay with them until he's better and I'm ok with it. But for you go to your room I don't want to see you for the rest of the night. I'll talk to your father about this when he gets home." she grabbed her water and took another sip from it. I walked back to my room and punched the hole creating a hole and making my knuckles worst.

So Sheri was staying with her boyfriend. She doesn't realize how badly I want her, I've wanted her since I first laid eyes on her but it seems that she had eyes for someone else. I fell on my bed and groaned shutting my eyes. It drove me insane that someone like Sheri drove me crazy. If only she knew, if I didn't push her aside and tease her or embarrass her in front of everyone would things be different for us? I let out a frustrated groan and decided to try and go to sleep with Sheri on mind of course.

I don't know how long I was asleep but I did know that it was late. I checked my phone and it read 1:00 a.m. I didn't even realize how tired I was either. It was quiet which meant that everyone was asleep, I closed my eyes and tried to get some sleep for at least 5 more hours before getting up and ready for school. But it was hard for me to go to sleep when I was wondering what Sheri was doing right now, was she safe? I had a lot of questions running through my mind.

I didn't know what it was but there was just something about her that me pulled towards her, I knew she was attractive for one I mean damn she's got a hot body I think it's hotter than any other girls that I've seen but what bothers me is that she shows no interest for my what so ever she doesn't throw herself at me like before I mean all she did was stay where she was and watch me or glance at me but she's changed and she's different now. It's hard to get her to fall for me.

I sighed and tried to go back to sleep before I became a grouch first thing in the morning.
