Autumn in the middle

ten

" Get up! Get up! Get up!" Lois yells as I feel the blankets getting pulled off me. She walks over and opens the windows. We all scream at the sun like vampires.
"Noooooo!" I yell and grab Malcolm for warmth.
"Get up you have school! Morning Autumn."
I grown mornin. Reese was doing his hair and doing was playing with his class pet, a guinea pig while Malcolm and I were clinging on to each other, well more like I was.
"We have to get up," Malcolm says trying to get out of my grip.
Nooooooo I moan.
He got one of his hands-free and gave me a wet willie.
"Ewwww!" I screech wiping his saliva out of my ear as he broke free. while I was wriggling about the wet Billy he grabbed my foot and literally dragged me out of bed.

We all we're heading out the door, grabbing our lunches which had our names on them.
I look at Reese's watch" We're going to be late!" I yell worryingly
"We're not late. If we were late our lunches would be on the lawn." Reese says.

once we got to school Malcolm and I rush to Mr Herkabe's room just before the bell rang.
We get to our seats as Mr. Herkabe was collecting papers.

(Skip to lunch)

I trying to find Malcolm but I can until I hear my name being called.
I turn my head to the voices as I see a
Gurdeep, Aspen, and other girls waving at me to their table. I walk over and sit next to Aspen.
"Hi, guys!"

They introduced me to everyone and we just started talking.

"So we hear you're sleeping at the Wilkersons house." a girl named Payton says

"How did you find out?"I asked
she points to Reese of course.
"But yeah I am, my father kicked me out and now I'm living with them."

We continue to talk about nonsense. I dozed off after a while but, I snap back to reality when I see Malcolm.
I smile to myself then Cynthia walks over, but I think nothing of it until she gets close.

To close.
"She keeps getting closer even though he's scooting away," I say

w
"What? Who?" the girls ask
"Cynthia is getting so close to Malcolm, we're dating."
My cheeks turn red of jealousy.
Cynthia might not be the prettiest flower in the bouquet but she's smarter than me
" I'll be right back girls," I say with a bit of anger in my voice.

As I leave I hear whispering.

I walk over and sit next to Malcolm "Hey babe."
I say is Cynthia immediately backs away. Perfect.
"What are you doing here?" Malcolm
"Just came to check on you," I say while staring at Cynthia then back at Malcolm.

He has a smile on his face.
I squint my eyes and get closer and whisper in his ear
"Don't you dare tell anyone."
Then I look back at Cynthia and kiss Malcolm right in front of her face.
I heard ooohs coming back from my table. We pull apart smiling Cynthia got up and shoved me off the seat as she stands over me.

"Stay away."
"He's my boyfriend."
"He loves me more," she says
I roll my eyes "Those are fighting words and like I said he's my boyfriend."

I kick her feet so she falls on her but she gets back up and tackles me so she's on top punching me.

I flip us around so I'm on top then I use my knees to contain her hands down.

(Like in The hunger games)

I start punching her in the nose and mouth until someone pulls me off her.

"Let me go!!!!" I scream.

I turn around in the vice principal held me in her arms as I struggled to get out.

I didn't even know there was a crowd students chanting which made me smirk.

I also turn to see Malcolm smirking.
I look down at Cynthia again and her face is covered with blood. "Stay. Away. From. Malcolm. or next your arms with me in a cast."

(Skip to going to the Wilkersons)
" You what?!!" Lois yells

I punched Cynthia so hard she looks worse than dog crap." I said
"Boys go to your room," she says

I watch as they leave and give me a sympathetic look a d head to their room.

Once they close the door Lois says "I'm not really mad don't tell the boys. She got what she deserved, she touched you first." she winks.

I'm shocked "Wow thanks." I smile and hug her.

If we're being honest, I think she has always wanted a daughter and I am like one so it's like a win-win.

I walk into our room once I do Reese hugs me.

"I'm so proud of you"

Thanks I say weirded out.
He pulls away and Reese Malcolm and Dewey we are all smiling.
