Wishing for something more // Book two

Chapter 2

Zamoria's p.o.v

  It was the first day of junior year, maybe i was excited, maybe a bit nervous. My stomach ached, and i was pretty sure that it was anxious and queezing, i didn't realize how old i was until i opened my eyes this morning and remebered that I, Zamoria was in the eleventh grade, graduating nearly a year away.

I layed in bed, i could only imagine how exciting this year will be now that everything is all over. I hope, but it's also sad that Marceline won't be sharing this exciting expierence. I finally got the strength to get up from my extremely comfortable bed.

I turned on the lights and opened the curtains," a year for brand new beginnings." I mumbled under my breath as i glanced at the outfit i took out last night, sitting there waiting for me to jump in.

"Zamoria, baby are you ready?!" My mother yelled acrossed the hall bathroom.

" not yet!" i replied, i slipped on my outfit and put on some earrings. I get in incoming call from Hunter."hey babe, are you ready for the start of our new lives?" He asked as i slipped in some socks." it's not new it's the same, we'll be new people when we graduate from this hell, but as you were referring i'm almost ready." I smiled as i moved the phone to a better angle, where he can see me.

" Would you like me to pick you up, or are you taking your car?" He asked." you can take me, i really don't mind." He smiles and nodds." I'll be there in 15 minutes!" he hangs up the phone as i rush into the bathroom to brush my teeth and fix my hair.

  I grabbed my things and locked the door behind me as Hunter's car pulled up." Hey babe!" there was something different about Hunter, he was glowing and so was his teeth." you look so happy." I chuckled as I opened the passenger side door to get in." well it is the new year, i still have you, and i promised to try out for football to my dad of course." 

"football? i thought you hated football." I gave him a look, to show how severly confused i was at the word he just mentioned." well, not anymore i thought i give a try this year since it's a year for new beginnings and all like i said during our phone call, but yeah maybe it's something i need.

"alright then," i hugged my bookbag as the cold wind flew by our faces, leaving my hair flying everywhere. Hunter's jeep had a sun window at the top of the roof of his car which he barely had open, but i guess since he really believed that this year was full of changes it was a start of something new.

We finally arrived at school, bunches of new freshmen and same old people were crowding to get in the school. Hunter got out then opened my door for me to get out." thank you," I said as i faced the horrific prison we've been going for the past two years."your welcome beautiful." He smiled graciously, like something hit him in the head today.

I asked myself, is he on steriods?

We walked inside and went to our usual lockers. Hunter stood beside me, as i put in my books in that i got with my schedule." so are you trying something new this year?" he asked. I haven't really thought about it, last year before we met Ryan and all, Quinn and I tried to sign up for these two clubs that didn't really work out.

" no, actually i don't really know to be honest. Maybe, i'll think about it." I said, i closed my locker and saw Vincent and Jason from A far." Hey guys!" i exclaimed. " hey love birds," jason said waving back at us." Hey man, haven't seen you in a while." hunter claps Jason up." I've been really busy with family and all." He states." yeah, has any one of you Quinn?" Vincent asks.

" no, not since saturday, maybe she's just running a bit late," i replied." i hope she isn't skipping, the first day nearly started." Hunter said." okay, who put 300 pouns of sugar in your cereal this morning?" Jason asked Hunter.

"what is with you all? i can't be happy?!" He palms his face as everyone chuckles." Oh there she is!" i pointed out." sorry guys, my mother was having car trouble this morning." She explained. Quinn was a different person, through my own eyes she's changed, for the good and for vincent. She wasn't wearing the black, brooding style she wore when she was going through things. Instead she choose neutral and light color clothing, it made me happy.

" where's your car?" Hunter asked." in the shop." She answered stilly." oh by the way guys, i have a friend that's staying with you evil ex-friend from a very long time ago, he moved here like a week ago anyways he'll be with us a lot." Hunter added.

" Hunter we have a lot of evil ex-friends." Quinn says." oh here he comes." And just before my very own eyes it was the same guy that saved us from that burning car." guys i would like you to meet Dean." Quinn and I looked at each other, confused and awed at the same time.

What a coincidence, i pondered. I could only imagine what Quinn was thinking right now.

 what in the freak? " I believe we already met." He smiled  and everyone faced us, He was a nice guy hanging out with an evil foregin bitch." when did you-" 

"it's actually a very long story that doesn't need explaining, oh was that the bell? come on Zamoria were going to be late!" Quinn grabbed my arm and we walked quickly out of the circle.

"what in the actual hell was that?" She shouted." i do not know? i never even knew Hunter had a friend far away." I looked at them, confused and talking to Dean. " i should be the confused one. Oh god what if he's telling vincent and Hunter that we almost died two days ago, what if he's just like lara only to get revenge?" Quinn rushed through her words, i didn't know whether to pay attention to how fast her lips were moving or her words.

"Quinn calm down, he probably thinks you told them already," i shrugged." He wouldn't know who we date, we nearly met the guy." she says, it's not even the first hour of school and she's already stressing. I face palmed and put my hands on her shoulders." look calm down, i know you don't want to stress and for vincent to worry about you but still." 

She sighed, looking at her nervous hands that were shaking a bit, i grabbed them trying to calm her down." hey it's going to be okay, it's a new year, no worries. Everything will be fine." I say and she nodds taking a deep breathe looking back at Vincent who is laughing unshamesly.

"let's go back and forget that awkward meeting we just did, and have a good day." I said, i grabbed Quinn's hand pushing through people and we get back to the group.

"sorry, she's just a bit shaky today that's all." I say covering up for her, i look as she quietly mouths 'thank you'. "you okay babe?"Vincent asks quinn." better than okay." she smiles most ardently.

The bell rings and we all scatter to our classes, i yet again have a first class with Quinn and this time with Vincent as well. We all walk into class, laughing and talking forgetting about the weird morning we just had.

" please, have a seat in your assigned seats." our history teachers points out, i sat in the front of the left corner near the window, vincent sits in the second row by the door, and Quinn sat in the middle. 

As class began we all exchanged crooked smiles and did some weird sign language. All of the sudden the door opens, the class gets quiet, Quinn and I weren't paying attention. We told ourselves and thought it was just some randome kid who was late but it wasn't.

" you must be Ryan, you are extremely late." My head bolted up, having an extreme whiplash from the fast head turning i pulled. All of us looked at each other." yes, i'm sorry about that." His head hanged low, his voice was low and raspy.

Vincent and I, looked back at Quinn who couldn't bare what was right in front of her very eyes. Standing in guilt, her eyes were filled with fear and emptyness, like if she just seen a ghost. She didn't move an Inch, people began to notice us staring and they looked back too.

Ryan made eye contact with her for a few short seconds with brooding eyes and face that hanged in shame, it wasn't relaxed more serious. He walked by her, the wisps of his outgrown hair and the smell of his polo cologne could be smelled from the other side of the class room. He looked older and cleaner, but much of a more sadder attitude than i remembered.

He sat down in the empty seat in the back next to a bruenette. He looked at me and Vincent with a straight face, not even a muscle moved, jaws clenched and everything. 

I looked at Quinn who stared at her notebook, eyes till feared and widened. I see a tear fall from her eye and land on the page of her notebook.

so much for change.
