Takes Time [Completed]

Chapter 3 (New Wheels)

*Same Day*

Amanda

    When I stood up and saw who the person was I got chill bumps. It was Ronnie Blake, and she was looking at me like I had spilled spaghetti on her new outfit! 

Ronnie- OMG it's the loser who wants my boyfriend!

Amanda- For the last time, I don't want your boyfriend! *I say, getting up from the ground*

Ronnie- Well you had your chance, and you blew it! 

*Everyone gasped, remembering the past*

*I let my head drop and tried to walk away, but not enough time for Ronnie to push me back onto the ground*

Ronnie- By loser! *She laughed as she walked away*

*Everyone started laughing, until the bell rang to go home*

   After about 5 minutes of me sitting on the floor and picking all my stuff up, a hand reached out to help me up. I was turned around so when I saw who it was I was shocked. It was Brady! At first I thought it was a trick and then I realized that there was nobody around so I reached my hand out and he helped me up.

Amanda- Why did you help me?

Brady- I don't know, I felt kinda bad when Ronnie dissed you.

Amanda- She didn't really diss me.

Brady- Yeah she did, and it was awesome!

*Amanda rolls her eyes*

Brady- Also don't tell anyone that I helped you.

Amanda- Why?! 

Brady- Because people will make fun of me, so if you spill, I'll make your life horrible.

Amanda- It's already horrible Brady, you just don't know my full story.

*Amanda walks away, leaving Brady with a confused face*

     When I get home I start on my homework and go to bed early.

*Wednesday*

*Amanda*

     You guys are probably tired of me telling you my morning routine, so lets just skip strait to school. When I get to school, I'm expecting laughter and gossiping about me, but there was no one in the hallway! I checked in the library, but nobody was there. After a couple of minutes of me searching around for people I start to hear faint screaming in the parking lot, so I make my way over there. When I go outside, I see people surrounding Brady and a red car. They were all screaming "Brady how much did that cost," or "Brady can we ride in it," and it gets worse "Brady can we have a ride home," screamed the girls. Brady acted like it was a photoshoot. He was on top of the car, inside it and even asking girls if they wanted to sit in the front seat! Of course everyone was interested in it, except me. Here's the problem about being 15 in 10th grade, I'm one of the youngest girls, so I don't get my driver's license till 11th grade! Anyway I walk back inside and grab my history book, but then I realized that the project is due tomorrow. We haven't even started it! I sit by my locker till the bell rang and went off to class.  

    When class started I went strait to our table and started drawing a picture of what our project would look like. Of course all Brady did was talk about his new car to me, and it was really annoying!

Brady- I wanted a blue car, but a red one is fine, I guess. 

Amanda- Brady we're going to fail this project if you don't do something.

Brady- You're so annoying! *He laughs*

Amanda- OMG... can I please just switch partners.

Brady- Why do you want to switch partners?

Amanda- Because your useless!

Brady- Oh... *He says kinda quiet*

Amanda- What?

Brady- You're not the only person to call me useless. *He says quietly*

Amanda- What do you mean?

Brady- My dad calls me useless, lazy, and ugly.

Amanda- What about your mom?

Brady- She's - *Bell interrupts him* I gotta go! *He rushes out the door*

Amanda- Well that was weird!

      I finish up school, and then I head to the bus. As I'm going home I replayed me and Brady's conversation from this morning. For once he was nice and open hearted, but I still hated him. When I got home I started to study for this big test coming up. After 2 hours of studying, I took a shower and then went to the kitchen, but I over heard a conversation.

Mom- Look, I'm doing the best I can to support Amanda!

Dad- I disagree, I think you should be more involved in her life!

Mom- and I think you shouldn't be involved in hers!

Dad- Fine, I'll leave in a week.

*Dad leaves the house and slams the door shut*

    I run back to my room, shut the door, get in my bed, and start crying onto a pillow. I knew that my life was falling apart!
