A/N: I'm uploading again! Sorry it took so long though...
Zaria's POV
After being squished in the back of a cop car for nearly an hour and a half, I was so happy to stretch out my legs that I practically ran inside the jail. But while I was passing the car PointDexter was riding in, I couldn't help but notice the death glare he was sending my way. Like, it was so scary that I actually got goose bumps on my arm. I wasn't going to enjoy being detained...
After we got processed, we got put in separate cells where we would wait until we found out if we could make bail or not and then we would get our one phone call. I was in the cell about 5 minutes before the automated door was opened and who else walks in but Max. Her demeanor instantly changes as she spots me sitting in the corner, looking very guilty. She went from looking remorseful and innocent to looking like she could make a shank and kill me right then and there.
She stalked over to where I was sitting, with a dangerous glint in her eye.
"WHY DID YOU GO FIGHT AARON HUH?? ALL HE DID WAS KISS YOU!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY GIRLS WOULD KILL JUST TO GET HIM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEM, MORE OR LESS BE WITHIN KISSING DISTANCE?!? AND YOU JUST HAD TO GO AND BEAT THE SMITHEREENS OUT OF HIM! AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT YOU JUST HAD TO BE MY BESTFRIEND AND GET ME IN TROUBLE FOR YOUR DUMB ASS MISTAKES!!! JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN LIVE IN A 2 MILLION DOLLAR MANSION AND GO TO THE COLLEGE OF YOUR CHOICE DOESN'T MEAN EVERYONE CAN!! NO IVY LEAGUE IS EVER GOING TO ACCEPT ME WHEN I HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD!! AND I'm GOING TO END UP GOING TO SOME COMMUNITY COLLEGE BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL ACCEPT ME, AND THEN I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET MY MEDICAL LISCENSE, AND THEN I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND THE CURE FOR CANCER! AND YPU KNOW WHAT, ITS ALL YOUR FAULT FOR BEING SO DESIRABLE THAT EVERY GUY WANTS TO JUMP YOUR BONES AND THEN HAVING SUCH A SHORT FUSE WHEN THEY TOUCH YOU!!! DO YOU KNOW THAT ME AND RILLO GOT CHARGED WITH BEING AN ACCESORY TO BATTERY??? DID YOU KNOW HOW UPSET MY PARENTS WERE WHEN THEY OPENED THE DOOR TO SEE POLICE OFFICERS STANDING OUTSIDE OF IT?? I DON'T THINK YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYTHING YOU DO AFFECTS OTHER PEOPLE AROUND YOU!! BUT YOU KNOW, IWOULDNT EXPECT SOMEONE LIKE YOU- A SELFISH, SELF CENTERED, BITCH- TO UNDERSTAND THAT CONCEPT!YOU THINK THAT YOUR SO BAD ASS AND THAT YOU'RE THE ISHH BUT IN ALL ACTUALLY, NO ONE LIKES YOU! EVERYONE CONSIDERS YOU THE WEIRD GIRL!! YOU DON'T KNOW HALF THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU! AND DESPITE WHAT EVERYONE SAID, I STILL BEFRIENDED YOU!! AND LOOK WHAT I GET! YOUR WORSE THAN THE SCUM OF THE EARTH!!"
I sat there listening to her rant, my mouth slacking more and more after every sentence. Is this really how she felt about me?? Is this really how other people felt about me?? I felt tears prickling the corners of my eyes, threatening to spill over. I refused to let her see my cry and so I tightened my jaw and let anger take over. This girl who I thought was my best friend, just called me self centered, selfish, and most of all, a bitch. Quite frankly, I was about to be charged with another case of battery had she not shut up when she did.
"You know what Max, funny you should say all of that, because quite frankly, I don't think you and me can be friends anymore. Especially not now that I know how you really feel about me. And by the way, sorry for inconveniencing you."
With that, I turned around and faced the gray cement wall, ignoring her completely. I violently swiped at the tears that were bold enough to spill over my eyes. I felt her approaching me and I immediately tensed up.
"If you come closer, I swear to you I'm going to be charged with attempted murder." I said through clenched teeth. I felt her slowly back away and sit down with a sigh. I figured this was going to be a llloooonnnggg wait.
Max's POV
After Zaria threatened me with possible death, I realized all the nasty mean things I said to her. I really wanted to apologize, but I knew Z and how she was about her threats - they were most definitely not idle. We sat in tense silence for about two hours before we heard the automated door slide open, only to reveal police officers standing outside of it.
"Zaria Hardly and Maxine Rogers, you have made bail. Please follow me."
We both walked out so briskly that you could actually hear a whooshing sound.
Zaria's POV
When we got to the front, we saw PointDexter and Rillo standing next to my parents. All of them looked very livid. The daggers they were all shooting my way could've shot me dead had they been real. I grudgingly made my way over to where they were standing, but not without casting a pleading look toward my arresting officers. I even mouthed a 'help me'. They just chuckled and walked away. Seems like I'm own my own.
"Hey mom. What's up dad?" I asked cautiously. They just glared harder. I tried again.
"Rillo, haven't seen you in about 24 hours." I chuckled weakly. Again, I was met with a cold hard gaze, although I could see the corners of his mouth turn up slightly.
"And PointDexter, I haven't talked to you since earlier today....you know, when we were getting arrested." He barely looked my direction.
"Oh come on guys, I'm -'' I was cut off by my dad's stern look in my direction. I closed my mouth and hung my head as I followed them out to the limo. It was an uncomfortable silence as we dropped off Max and Rillo at their respective houses. When Rillo left, he gave me a hate filled look, but when Max left, she cast one sorrowful glance in my direction, which I promptly ignored.
Finally it was just me, my parents, and PointDexter (who was practically family) in the car. That's when the yelling began. I tuned out because I've heard this whole speech before. It may or may not be my first time getting arrested (I will never tell you which one) so I wasn't very surprised at the stuff they were saying. But what surprised me was my punishment. I usually only have to help my dad construct houses ( not that I minded the hot muscular guys) and then not drive my car, but this time they decided to punish me by making me go on a date with every single guy that was in on the bet. Every one. Like not one, not two, I mean even three would have been acceptable, but there's about 6 guys who are involved in the bet, all equally disgusting I might add, and they want me to go out with ALL of them....separately??? That was when I blew my lid because that punishment was most definitely not going to work out.
" The sex fumes must've gone to your head if you think for even one second that I'm going out with even one of those guys! You clearly must want me to end up in prison for life with no bail for murder! Like one of these guys tried to tongue me down and the other one is the reason that I was in jail in the first place! And if you think I will let them have their way with me, you must surely have me bent! But unlike you, I kind of like my life. So if you don't mind, I'm going to need you to go back into the dark recesses of your clearly delusional mind and try again!! Like right now. I then crossed my arms on my chest and let out a long deep sigh.
They simply looked at me like I was crazy for about ten minutes. And then told me that I really didn't have a choice in the matter. We argued back and forth until we reached the house. At that point I was actually winning the argument.....until I stepped out of the limo to see a tall brooding figure at my front door.
A/N:: SOOO, what do you think?? And hahaha a cliffhanger
