My unfortunate life...

Chapter 4

The next day I was awakened by my alarm clock. I got so scared that I fell off my bed onto my hard wood floor. But I was too happy to care. When I arrived downstairs, I saw some whole wheat toast and Tropicana orange juice in a large glass for me. I took the piece of toast, put it in my mouth and took a sip of juice, and got my backpack. When I went outside, I saw the same black charger that almost ran me over in my driveway. Noah was leaning against it.
"You like?"
"Me?! Like it?! You almost ran me over yesterday! You were the punk that did that!"
"Yeah, I'm still laughing about what you said yesterday,'I'm trying to get to hell here!' Hahaha"
"It's not funny dude."
"It is to me. How 'bout a ride?"
"Thanks, but no thanks."
"Why not?"
"Stranger danger...you should know that mr. Artt...so if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way to hell."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Okay. See you at school."
He gave me a look of dissapointment and got into his car and left. I rode my bike back to the parking, and got ready for the same damn thing I go through every day.

Theatre. My first class, the teacher is Mr. Lamini. We all sat in a circle of chairs on the auditorium stage. I was sitting next to my best friend Liam, he was tapping my shoulder whispering my name over and over again annoying me. Until I bursted, I whisper-yelled at him,
"what?!"
He whispered back,
"That guy over there has been staring at you for almost 15 minutes already...do you like him or something?"
"Of course not..he's just another idiot from this school...not you of course, you're different. My best bud."
"Good."
"Great."
"Now pay attention Liam, you're gonna get your ass in trouble."
"Alright."
Right away mr. Lamini spotted us whispering so he raised his voice to get the whole class to look at us.
"Mr will and miss tek, I would like to know what you guys were talking about."
"Uh, mr. Lamini....you see-"
"We were talking about your awesome new haircut, it's so retro! Keep up the new fashion sence!"
"Well, thank you miss tek. But as much as I appreciate you and mr will complementing me, you guys need to pay attention in class. We have a test next week and I expect all of you to pass."

As he was saying,"all of you", he did a whole 360° turn to point at the whole circle of students.

"Class, I'm pretty sure you all met Noah Artt, the new student joining our class?"
"Yes" the whole class said yes with such boredom except for Veronica, the leader of the buzzing bees. Her eyes lit up like two light bulbs as the teacher said Noah's name. It was obvious she already had a thing for his looks. I say looks because of course that's the first thing a girl notices before she even meets the guy. Then when they do meet the guy, she won't like his personality. But she was sitting right next to him flirting and making him smile, I took glances at him while I was writing on my crappy wide ruled notebook. When he smiled, he looked directly at me. I looked away as fast as could because I didn't want to get caught in the act.
When class finished me and Liam were walking out of class. I dropped my pencil so I stopped to pick it up but Noah caught up and picked it up for me. Liam was next to me waiting for me.
"Here."
"Uh, thanks. But you d-"
"It's fine. So you don't have to apologize...s-"
"Let's go Amy, we're gonna be late for class."
"Right,bye dude." What's wrong with Liam? Why is he such in a rush?
As we were walking to our lockers I asked him,
"Are you okay Liam?"
"Yeah, peachy."
"Your jaw is clenching, your upset. What is it?"
"Nothing Amithya."
"Okay....I won't go any further."

Liam only says my full first name when he's really pissed off. Really pissed off. I really didn't want to push any further because if I did, he would've bursted like a jack-in-the-box. I don't want to see that Liam, not since my birthday party in 6th grade, we were in my backyard.

"Liam, do you want to hang with me and Trevor?"
"No, I ha-"
"Oh, c'mon Liam! Let's play hide n' seek, you and Trevor hide, while I seek!"
"Amy, look I want to tell y-"
Trevor found me and Liam talking, so he came and interrupted.
"Hey Amy, what's Lima doing here? I thought it was going to be me and you out here."
"It's Liam and don't worry, I was just leav-"
"I invited Liam to play hide n' seek with us. Is that alright with you Trev?"
"Yeah, sure."
Trevor looked annoyed yet so defeated that he let Liam play hide and seek with us. I climbed up to my 12 year old treehouse. The sunset that evening was so beautiful. I started counting.
"1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10! Ready or not here I come! Trevor....Liam...where are you guys?"
"Here." It was Trevor's voice.
I followed his voice, he was behind the tree the treehouse was built on. I tapped his shoulder, he smiled.
"You found me."
"I found you."
"Hey!!!"
I turned around to see Liam soaking wet, his clothes draping with water. He was pacing twards me and Trevor...wait no, just Trevor. Oh, no. He had this infuriated crazy look in his azure eyes. Coming twards Trevor.
"YOU!"
"What about me?"
He was laughing with a sly smile,hinting that he had something to do with why Liam was soaked in water.
"You did this to me asshole!"
Trevor looked over to me and smiled.
"C'mon, you gotta admit. That was pretty funny."
"Trevor, that's not funny! He could've died!"
"Pufft, he knows how to swim.....wait...you don't know how to swim Lima?! Hahahaha oh my gosh! You're more of a wimp than I thought you'd be!"
"Shut up!"
"Make me Lima."
Trevor crossed his arms and looked at Liam. Liam tackled Trevor, Liam started punching Trevor. Then Trevor tumbled Liam over and started to punch him. I ran over to them and pushed Trevor off Liam and helped Liam up. He jerked his arm away from my hand so he could wipe the blood from his lip. Trevor had a little cut on his eyebrow from the fast tumbling on the grass.
"BOTH OF YOU!! STOP! I don't wan you guys to fight! Especially on my birthday."
"Trevor started it!"
"I don't care who the heck started this stupid fight."
"*sigh* look, both of you guys should go home. But first make up! Shake hands."
"Bu-"
"No buts! Now both of you!"
They shook hands. But Trevor didn't even make eye contact at Liam, neither did Liam with Trevor. I got some things from my little first aid kit. I fixed their injuries. That night, I couldn't sleep. Just tossing and turning having flashbacks about what happens that evening.

I returned to my locker to get my things together and closed my locker, then I realized I closed my jacket with my locker. I saw half of my jacket inside my locker. Frustrated, I failed to open my locker lock 4 times. I finaly opened it. Noah was there that whole time watching me.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a frustrated person before?"
He cocked his head to one side and spoke.
"Nothing. I'm admiring you from afar. I actually think it's quite funny, you're cute when you get mad."
He smiled and he was kind of giggling I picked up my stuff and left school without looking back and smiling like a fool. My thoughts spiraled into an infinite song only repeating Noah's name...Noah... Noah.... Noah...
