The Boy Next Door

Chapter 7

"Scarlett, Scarlett!"

Not again. Please! What, all of a sudden he feels bad about making out with the girl I dislike right infront of me?

"Scarlett please wait! I'm sorry!"

I turned around fast. I almost got whip lash

"What are you sorry for NOW Phoenix! Are you also sorry for leaving me when we were 10!"

Calm down just walk away.

I walked away, I felt like I was going to cry. I can't believe I just said that.

Just wait until I get home. Then I can cry while eating ice cream and watching a movie. You know WHAT I'm not even going to cry I'm 14 flipping years old! I'm not 5 anymore!

"What?"

I kept walking I didn't look back. But then he grabbed my waist and spun me around. I said "What was that for!?"

He said "What did you say?" He looked really angry. Actually he looked pretty scary when he was angry.

"I said 'Are you also sorry for when you left me when we were 10?'"

His grip was getting pretty tight.

Surprisingly, I pulled away from him and ran home.

**BUZZ**

cheeseballs!

"Scarlett you don't understand."

I was so mad that he just said that

I text back "Just tell me why you 'disappeared' for 4 years."

All he text back was. " I will tell you tomorrow when we are walking in the morning tomorrow. Okay? Deal?"

Now we are walking together tomorrow morning? Did we discuss this. I don't think so.

"Okay. Deal."

I just let it end there

When I was getting washed up to go to bed his dirt bike wasn't there.

Is he at another party. Please don't do anything bad, Phoenix.

Why am I talking to myself. Its not like he can hear me. Oh my pumpernickle, he is home.

While I was going to bed, I decided to look out at my window to see if he was in his room. And to my surprise he was. Did he not go to the party because I said no?

But why is the dirt bike not there. His mom and dad probably took it away from him after he came home drunk and wanted to drive home. If I was his parent I would take it way too.

Wait is that Sophia! What the heck. Its like 9:30 everyone should be going to bed! This is ridiculous. You know what I'm done with her crap!

I screamed "You both should be going to bed!"

Oops that was a bad move.

Everything stopped. I heard a chuckle. Then the window opened.  And out came Phoenix and Sophia. They both looked out of the window. Phoenix had a big grin on his face and but his elbows on the window sill with his chin on top of his hands. Sophia looked pissed, like always

When is this girl never mad?

Phoenix was actually laughing. Sophia looked like she wanted to rip someones head off. Maybe my head. You never know.

Sophia just grabbed the hem of his shirt and pushed him down. He yelled "Woah!" Then his mom yelled "What is going on up there!"

Phoenix yelled back "Nothing mom, I'm just with my friend!"

"Did I just hear Scarlett. Is it really Scarlett! Oh my! I haven't seen her in forever! I'm coming upstairs."

Sophia looked at me with a shock on her face.

I felt my face get red. I feel really embarrassed.

Phoenix got up looked at me and his face turned red. "Mom! Its not Scarlett! Its my other friend!"

The mom yelled "Okay but if you see her tell her I said Hi."

They are probably mad because I interuprted them from doing something. At least they are not drunk and are at a party
