Breaking My Silence

Chapter Three - I Think I've Gone Mad

I'm a tad nervous but surprisingly I trust Ellie, for some reason I just know that she won't screw me over although I've only known her for a few hours.

'Riiiingg' Shit, what do I have? Oh never mind I have study period. I walk to my car, dump my bag in the front seat and just sit there staring at the school. One day, two new students. Both of which have willingly talked to me despite the fact I am a known outcast. What is going on? I shake my head to try to get rid of all these thoughts and head home.

I walk in the door and as usual, nothing. As much as my parents like to be on my back about everything, they're not really around much. I guess work is just too important.

I head towards my room and dump my bag on the couch in my lounge.

Okay thing is my parents are not in any way short of money and my mum is big on houses. So here I am with basically my own wing since Zane moved out. Not only is it a whole lot quieter without his idiot friends around but now it is my lounge and my bathroom, you get the idea. His room is for when he wants to come home.

I go into my room plug my iPhone in and get changed into my comfiest pair of shorts, a black tank top and my slippers before dumping myself on the couch to watch the best cartoon on TV. Avatar: The Legend of Aang, the Last Air bender.

After watching the full series three times right through, I still love it. Plus I think Zuko's hot despite the fact he's a cartoon. I have a very vivid imagination okay! He would make a damn good looking human!

Whoops! I almost forgot! I run to the kitchen and grab the nutella and a spoon. I know it's gross, but I like it! I curl up on the couch to watch avatar.

Yes! Today is one of my favourite episodes! When Zuko loses his fire bending so they go find the sun warriors and the Dragons, where fire bending originally came from. After talking to the TV for an hour, I remember that I was supposed to be at Zane's ten minutes ago.

Shit! I ran to the bathroom; and tied my hair into a ponytail before I grabbed my chucks and my leather jacket before running to my car and speeding down the driveway and into the road.

Shit, it takes me forty minutes to get to Zane's, he'll be pissed, oh well luckily he has a soft spot for me, and at this speed it'll only take me twenty so hopefully I'll only be half an hour late .

I park in his apartment block's garage building and take the elevator to his floor. I unlock his door and burst through his kitchen and into his living room. I stop short when I see him. He's sitting on the couch laughing.

"What?" I ask him, my voice louder than I intended. "Why are you laughing?"

"B-because y-you looked s-so panicked." He gasped between fits of laughter.

I pouted and crossed my arms while I waited for his laughter to subside, so he could explain.

"I knew Avatar was on today, so I knew you'd be late, and the look on your face when you ran inside was priceless!" he chuckled as he remembered.

"Oh ho ho, you're in for it now buddy!" I giggled as I jumped on him and started 'beating him up'. He was too busy laughing to protect himself.

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry you win! I surrender" He half yelled, half laughed as I pummelled him.

"Whoa, guys, settle down." I hear a laughing voice coming from one of the bedrooms.

"Mikey!" I squealed before running to tackle the man who just walked in. Zane's best friend and business partner is staying here. At 6 feet 3 inches he managed to catch me before he lost his balance. These boys helped me survive the last year or so, well until they graduated and started college a few months ago. Zane and Mikey are nearly three years older than me, but we're closer than normal siblings/friends are. That has something to do with having basically non-existent parents. They are the only people who I let see the 'real' me. As stupid as I sound saying that, it's true.
