Never Shout Never!

The Golden Package

I looked up from my notebook, glancing at him every now and then across from me. I sighed as I went back to writing on my worksheet. It has now been two days since I couldn't talk to Chris. We're now avoiding each other and I can't take it anymore! Every time our eyes locked we would look and turn away. I tried to talk, but literally, all he gave me was the silent treatment. And he is pretty damn good at it. I excused myself to go to the bathroom as I went in the hallway. I just need a breather right now. I can't take that stupid classroom anymore. I should be in that class passing notes with Christofer. Or making rude and obnoxious statements, and pissing off the teachers, with Christofer. Not LEARNING! I made my way to the front entrance as I stepped outside. I have fourteen minutes to chill, and one minute to get my ass back in the classroom. My dad has been on me like a backpack. I just can't get away from him no matter what. I sighed in frustration as I kicked the rock that was in front of me.

"Why me?" I said mumbling to myself as I ran my fingers through my hair.

"Yeah. Why you?" I raised my eyebrows and turned around as I saw Christofer standing ten feet away from me. I muttered a 'shit' and regained myself. I gave Chris a slight smile as I motioned for him to sit with me. At first he was a bit iffy, but he sighed and came over.

"I'm sorry Christofer."

"What?"

"I said I'm sorry! I'm sorry for everything that's happening right now.  Chaz is sick, Nolan is being a douchebag, Claire and Vinny are bitches as usual, my secret admirer won't tell me who he, or maybe she, is. My dad is telling me to stay away from you, and all on top of th-"

"Wait, wait, wait. Your dad what?"  I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair again.

"Yes. My parents think that your a bad influence on me, so they said that I have to cut all contact with you, that's why I wasn't able to talk to you. I was gonna tell you the other day, but every time, my dad just suddenly pops up out of nowhere." We sat there for two minutes in silence before he spoke up.

"I'm sorry." Was all he said. I raised my eyebrow and looked up at him.

"For what? You didn't do anything."

"Yeah I did. I never gave you a chance to explain. If I knew all this, trust me I would have did something about it. You don't know how lonely I was yesterday. I actually considered calling my parents." I started laughing. He closed the space in between us as he gave me a bear hug. Oh how I miss those amazing hugs! I didn't even have to have a second thought before I hugged him back. For once, it actually felt good to have my friend back.

"Come on Nicki. The teacher's probably worried about us." Chris stood up and offered his hand, which I gladly took. When we walked back in the classroom, I sat down and smiled as I wrote a note.

In an instant, a note was flying back on my desk. I eagerly opened it as I grinned widely.

And for the first time in two days, I actually felt happy.

"So, are you going to the dance?" I asked Chris. It was now the end of the day as we walked outside to the school yard.

"Yeah obviously." Chris said stating it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Who are you going with?" Chris asked, looking at me.

"I don't know. Nolan said that if he chickens out with asking out Chaz, then he'll take me to the dance. I kind of want to go with my secret admirer though." I said shrugging, twiddling with the daisy that was in my locker this morning.

"Nolan likes Chaz? Well, that's a shocker. I think they make a pretty cute couple, don't you?"

"Hell yeah. Nolan is obsessed with kissing, and so is Chaz. Which is why I will never go together with them anywhere and be a third wheel because they'll probably will be sucking face the whole time." I shuddered at the thought. God, I can see it now. Kissing till' there's no end and no lips between the two.
