Best friends (WATTY 2013)

Chapter Thirteen

Chapter 13

　

I felt much better from last night mainly because Joey slept with me last night and we talked(or more like me crying) and he left me a fresh box of donuts and a note.It just said that he didn't have any more clothes so he had to go and get some more.

I really really love Joey.I don't know how in the world I didn't realize it until now.

I drug myself to the bathroom and to take a long shower.After I took my shower and went to go and get my usual clothes.I then glanced at the clothes from the previous years my mother bought me clothes,only hoping that I would change my appearance.

Hmm...should today be that day?....

　

*Joey's POV*

　

I had to go.I really didn't want to though.What if she thought I left her like her father? I was rushing in my house tring to gather my stuff as fast as I could.

"Did you stay at Miss Lanter's house last night?" one of the maids asked.

"Why?"

"Because your Dad called" she had said

"What?"

"Yes sir he wanted to know if you knew where his business papers were"

"Seriously? That ALL he called for?!" I almost yelled

"Yes sir is there something wrong?" Se asked worryingly

"No just go back to work" I said rudely

"He is here"

"Nice news" I said with no emotion.

I finished gathering my stuff I walked down the hallway.as I was walking I passed my fathers work study.I was half opened,and he was inside.He looked up at me with a very frustrated look.

"Come in and sit down" He said sternly.

I kknew from the past years that I shouldn't argue. I came in with one swift movement. I was sitting in front of him. But all I could think about was Mandie. But I was at home about to have a really big argument with who? My father. MY FREAKIN FATHER!

"Uh..Dad I have to get to school"I said as calmly as I could.

"Really funny how you have to get to school now but you are almost failing in Langange Arts and you are skipping school" He practically screamed at me.

I couldn't answer him.I just couldn't find the words to say.

"If you don't keep and 'A' average in all of your classes then how are you going to go to Harvard? Better yet Yale?" He yelled.

I was actually starting to think he was seriously worried about me but he wasn't.All he was worried about was himself.It was his dream to have me in the best school in the world,but I didnt want to I just wanted to be and Archetect.I wanted to graduate from NYU and graduate with Mandie.

"Okay Dad can we talk about this when we get home?I asked faking being scared.

"Fine but you have to come in striaght after school because have a very important business meting in New Yprk tonight at eight so I have to catch a flight at six"

WHATEVER....

"Okay Dad"

I left in a rage. I wanted to throw something! I hate him so much! He was never there for me and now that all he has to say to me?!

　

***

I rung Mandie's doorbell and waited for her standing at the door.Wondering what she would have on today.I was expecting her to have on some baggy clothes and a cardigan but when she opened the door,I was so shocked I couldn't say anything.

I glanced at a BEAUTIFUL brunnette standing at the door.I glanced up at the door numbers. Yep,this was the right address. But who was this AMAZING girl at the door?

She had on a floral sundress and some sandle thingies.Her hair was wavy and pinned back.Who was this? I new that this girl was someone I knew but I just couldn't put my finger on her.Could this be Mandie?

*Mandie's POV*

He stood there in pure shock.

Did I look that good?

My sundress was as simple as day.

"M-mandie?"

"Yes Joey?"

"Oh..well what made you change?"

"I really don't know I just seen my old clothes my Mom used to get me and I just went for it."

"Okay well expect to be talked to because you look....REALLY GOOD"He said

"Okay whatever Joey"I really didn't want to argue.

"So did you eat the donuts?" he asked

"DUH! Joey you did such a GREAT job!I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to fit in this dress at first!"

"Ha! You are so stupid!"

We got into the car.For a long time we sat in a comfortable silence.I didn't mind it though.I almost didn't want to go to school and that was rare.

Too late for that!

Joey opened my door and as we approached the school people were really staring.I really didn't want to do this any more.I just turned around.

"Uh Mandie?...Mandie!"Joey called then he caught up with me

"Joey did you see them? They were staring at me like I was some type of alien"I said pointing.Thats when he cupped my face in his hands and pressed our foreheads together.

"Are you telling me that Amanda Lanter is afraid of some stupid kids at school?I remember when you were scared to meet me when we were oth five years old.Are you acting like a five year old Mandie?"He whispered

"But this is diff-"

"Okay well know you know me.I'll be here.Listen,you can do this."He whispered and kissed my forehead.
