Quickie Authors Note!! OMG!! AH! HOLY MEXICAN BAT HORSE. I looked on my newly fixed computer this morning and saw over 2,000 reads and then proceeded to have a baby heart attack and get so excited that i jumped around and then got tired and sat in my cousins tiny chair and thennnn got my butt stuck. And its all your faults. I love you . Murh . <3 now read on my beauties.
"You okay?" HE asked, his whisper tickling my ear. I shivered and nodded. He let out an irritated snort and flashed a glare at Lacey's retreating and scarcly covered behind. I wiped my eyes quickly while he was distracted. Heck, I was distracted by the warm arm wrapped around my waist.
I twirled a piece of hair around my finger and then stooped down to pick up my stuff with shaky hands. Hayden eyed me when he thought i wasn't looking and i smirked. "What?" I asked as he continued to stare. He sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair. His voice sounded oddly loud in the empty halls.
"Why didn't you stand up for yourself Delilah? Tell the skank off!" He muttered in an aggitated voice. I almost dropped my books again. HE was mad at ME for not fighting her? I whirled on him, eyes narrowed for a minute, almost thinking of slapping him. Then i saw him towering over me, a head taller and lost my nerve completely, though the anger was still there. What was i supposed to do? get my ass wooped by a twiggy hoe?
I looked at my shoes. "Sorry." I whispered to my feet. He groaned.
"That's what i mean Lilah! I know you can be scared of me sometimes, but she's like, a stick! You could stomp her!" He half shouted, using his hands to smack the air. I glared at the side of his head. But i didn't say a word.
He stared at me eyebrows furrowed for a while before throwing his hands in the air in exasperation and going on in his annoying rant, so instead of saying anything, i just left. I left him standing there and stalked towards Algebra on angry feet. Of course, he once again caught up to me easily.
"I just want you to stand up for yourself! I don't like seeing people run all over you and you just let them!" He went on. Run all over me? I LET them? I froze in my spot, the rage building into an inferno. That was it.
He stopped when he realized i wasn't walking with him and turned back, a confused expression on his disqustingly beautiful face. He wanted me to stand up for myself? well here goes. I stood, arms crossed and wobbly legs stiff. Of course i was terrified but it's was HE wanted and honestly, i was to mad to care at this point.I opened my mouth and the words came rushing out in a louder, stronger voice than i'd expected.
"You want me to stand up for myself? Okay then Here!" I yelled. "I'm standing up for myself Hayden! Here goes! I think you should shut the fuck up! You don't know anything! My MOTHER died standing up for herself, so fuck you! Maybe i don't want everyone hating me more than they already do! so mind your business and just go away."
The end of my rant sounded almost like a plea. It only took me a second to register the hurt in his eyes before i was slumping away, feeling drained and miserable. My arm was still aching and i felt sick. So off to class i go! He didn't even try to follow me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I couldn't wait for art and to see Dani. It felt like i hadn't seen her in years. I missed her happy-go-lucky attitude. When the bell finally rang for art, i hopped out of my seat in Algebra and rushed to class, happily plopping into the seat beside her.
"Delilah!" She squealed, crushing me into a hug that made me wince. She pulled away, grinning and flashing me her perfect, white teeth. I smiled back weakly. Her eyes widened as she took in my tired appearance, bandaged arm and over sized clothes.
"What happened to you? Gasp! Are these Haydens? Did you sleepover his house? Did yall get it on? Bigger GASP! did he do this to you? If he did i swear i will chop off his balls with rusty gardening shears AND-" I shushed her furiously. This girl was clinicly insane. She waited expectandly for my answer. I looked around and everyone was staring. Great Job Dani. God.
"Yes their Hayden's, No, he did not hurt me and GOD NO to the... other one. And i... fell?" I replied in a hushed voice. She eyed me suspiciously to see if i was lying before shrugging, satisfied with my story. Too easy.
Today, i noticed, Dani was dressed in a Pink tutu with black ripped leggings and a sparkly black and pink t-shirt and hot pink UGGS. Her makeup, as always was all sparkles and glitter. She still looked amazing, as always, though.
"So, how are things going with Ryan?" I wondered aloud, putting on a sly grin. It felt so great to see her. It was helping me forget about the Hayden situation.
She blushed a color that matched her shoes and i laughed. She smiled slowly before going into full detail about their latest date. I tuned out most of the mushy stuff, for my own safety and then gasped and nodded at parts were it seemed needed.
"And then.... we kissed! right on my porch! it was great until my dad came out with his rifle and started poking Matt with it! I was humiliated. " She moaned, putting her head down on the desk and heaving a sad sigh. I snorted out a weird laugh that got her giggling again.
At lunch, i avoided Hayden and sat with Dani and the gang. Ryan gave me a warm smile, and took his seat next to dani,who was on my left. followed by savannah and Terrance, connected hands swinging between them. Kyrsten sat on my right, Smiling up at me with her pink lips and baby blue eyes. Jake nodded his aknowledgement in my direction and i nodded back solemnly before giggling. And then Lauren and Rei waltz into the picture. They glared at me and sat down across from me at the round table.
Those two acted strange the whole lunch period. They whispered quietly between themselves while everyone else chatted animatedly. I caught them glancing in my direction and snickering a few times which ind of bothered me but not really. Because i felt at home at our little family table.
I looked in the cafeteria, searching for Hayden, but he was a no show. I kind of felt bad. What if he was angry with me and never wanted to see me again. The thought made my chest ache hollowly. Dani prodded my side. I swear this girl can sniff out negative emotions like a blood hound.
She studied my face intently for a minute before hopping up in her seat. "You know what you need?" She half shouted over the noise of the table. I rolled my eyes and grinned at her. "What is that?" I playe along. She pointed grandly at me, like she was putting on a show for everyone.
"YOU need a ..... GIRLS NIGHT !" she sqealed, gripping my arm and pulling me up with her. I groaned but stood up anyway. A few people stared with raised eyebrows. Leave it to Dani to get us stared at. Crazy child.
She pointed at Kyrsten and Savannah, smiley wickedly. "You should come to! all the girls of the Fam. Together for an awesome night!" Won't it be AWESOME?" She screeched and i nodded covering my ear. svannah for once, took her attention off of Terrance and smiled. I noticed, for the first time, that she had braces. Hm . Interesting.
"I'm in." She spoke shyly. Dani nodded and looked at Kyrsten who nodded back. "ME too. Is it going to be like a sleepover?" She spoke slowly, glancing suspiciously at Dani, who nodded inthuseastically and grinned maniacally. Good lord.
"YEah! and we'll eat snacks, get fat, and do all that fun stuff. And no boys allowed." She glared at terrance. Before smiling evily. "That means you two to. " She gestured to Rei and Lauren who both scowled and turned away.
I stared at her with a raised eyebrow. She stared back unblinking.
"What? Every family has it's quarrels!" She announced and then plopped back down into her seat, pulling me down with her. I couldn't help feeling slightly excited. My first girls night! ever! And then another thought crossed my mind. That means facing Julie. Shit.
