Now or Never

2

I slept in all my classes. How I'm a strait A student is a miracle.

I'm on my way home when I feel someone walking behind me.

A hand grabs my shoulder and before they can say something I get down and swing my leg under the creep knocking them over.

Thank you for self defense lessons auntie.

"Ow for the love of chicken nuggets Liberty." The person on the ground groans.

"Liam? What the hell?" I glare at him on the ground.

Liam is Dylan's older brother. He looks like Dylan but taller more masculine and he has green eyes.

"Pompom got out and I saw you walking. I thought you could help." He gives me a pleading look.

"Fine. We better hurry before your sister finds out. And please say something before you reach out and decide to scare me." I say with a huff.

"Thank you! And I will im sorry." He smiles.

~~~~~~~~~

"Found her!" I smile feeling accomplished when I pick the little Pomeranian out from under the bush.

"Oh my gosh I owe you!" Liam says taking the puppy from my hands.

"Emmie is gunna be so happy!" He jumps up and down and I sudddenly feel bad for the dog.

"Well I gotta get going. Glad I could help. Bye Liam!"

"Bye liberty. And could you meet me here around 7?"

"Why?"

"Please?"

"Ugh fine." Only cause I dont want to write my essay. 

He smiles and walks off. I swear he has problems.

He honestly creeps me out a little.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hi auntie!" I shout when I get home.

The house is warm and smells of cookies and fruit and shes playing music.

"Hi sweety welcome home I have watermelon on the table for you." She smile drying her hands walking out of the kitchen.

My aunt has blue eyes and her long curly brown hair is tied up in a messy bun.

She's wearing an apron and looks like she just got done cleaning.

"Thank you. Do you need any help with anything?"

"Uh just let Jupiter in I'm sure she wants to see you."

I smile nod my head and run to the back door. When opened a little blurr of black and white runs to me.

"Hi tiny baby!" I smile opening my arms.

She ran right past me.

"THANKS LOVE YOU TOO!"

My aunt starts laughing and shakes her head.

I take a bite of watermelon on the table."Oh leum wunfs ma too meef hm as sevis."

"I'm fine with that as long as you stop talking with your mouth full and are back before 8."

"Fank fu" I smile.

She shakes her head and goes upstairs. Jupiter looks at me sticks her tongue out and follows her.

Rude.

I end up doing homework and reading till my phone buzzed signaling that it's time to leave.

I get up and head out. I dont know what Liam's wants but you know what?

Neither do i.

I continue walking but I hear running ahead. "LIBERTY WATCH OUT." I hear someone yell.

But before I can even move a red powder drops on me.

"Ha! Gotcha!" Liam laughed

"What the hell!" I glare coughing a little.

"Liberty...go and wash that out now. Its powdered dye." Dylan runs up to me.

Of ducking course it is.

"You ass why would you do that to me!" I screamed.

Liam flinched. "Because i...just look at your feet pleaseeee."

I looked down there was piece of paper. If this is a love confection imma kill his ugly ass. Sure he looks like Dylan and dylan is hot but his personality sucks ass.

I picked it up.

I like you...go out with me?

I tear it in half flip him off and walk home.

"I WONT GIVE UP ON YOU LIBERTY WARREN!" He yells.

What a psychopath.

I walk through the doors and my aunt is sitting on the couch.

She looks up then looks down. Then she does a double take and drops her book. "Liberty oh my gosh!" She jumped up. "Who did this to you!"

"Someone was about to be pranked and I didnt see it and got in the way." I lie.

"Liberty😑" she stares at me and smile.

"Fine I got stuck in someone's love confection. " Not a complete lie.

"Go wash up. It smells like dye."

"It is dye."

"Liberty! Your hair! It's not in your eyes or mouth right!? Rose petals are how to do it bejebus kids these days!"

"No?" I smile.

"Stop this isnt funny go wash up!" She then pushes me up the stairs throws a towel at me and locks me in the bathroom.

"love you toooo" i laugh.

Thinking now. This is kinda funny. Of course I was mad at first but seriously who wouldn't be?

I get undressed and jump into the warm water. The water turns pink under my feet and I hope doesnt stain my skin.

After I'm done i get out head to my little room and get dressed. I dry my hair and head back to the restroom to see how red it is.

Huh. It came out like highlights. That were done by a three year old.

So not bad.

I went down stairs. My aunt was on the phone with my grandma.

"Yes mom. That's great, love you, bye bye now." I came into her views as she hung up and she smiled." Actually red is a good color on you. I'm happy it came out well...or as well as it could."

I smiles as she let out a breath or relief.

"Imma head to bed now. I'm not that hungry." I smile.

"You're always hungry what are you talking about L?"

"Like I seriously am not hungry. I dont know probably just tired." She nodded her head.

"Night honey."

"Night auntie." I smile and headed upstairs where I fell asleep peacefully in my bed.
