The New Boy

Chapter 2

"Tag!" Cole screams.
"Wait, what?!" But by then, Cole is half way down the street. "Oh, it's on!"
So I took off running. About 5 minutes later, I saw his familiar t-shirt so I sneak up on him. "HaHa! Your-" He turns arounds and I look up at his face, which is not his.
"Oh, um, Im sorry, I was looking for someone else. Sorry again, bye." I managed to get out. When I turn around i slam right into Cole's chest. "He- hey the- there," I stutter. I could feel my cheeks turning red. "Hey..." He said slowly. I immediately back up knowing that this was an awkward place to be standing. "Well it's getting late, maybe we should head back." I say, breaking the uncomfortable silence in between us.

On our way back home, we chatted about the types of people at school and who you shouldn't hang around. As we walk around the corner, I meet eye to eye with Ashley and her crew. "Look what we have here. The latest couple! Awe how cute." Ashley's whale mouth squeaks. I turn to Cole, who was now ashen. "Listen, Maybe you should walk away because I can give you more broken bones if you want.
"C'mon girls, we don't want to get on her level." Before I could say anything, Ashley took a hand full of mud and through it at me.
My favorite t-shirt was ruined. Here comes my anger. " Listen here, you think your so much better than everyone else Ashley! But your not! No one likes you! They're afraid of you if they say something, because your damn daddy owns the school! You could kick me out of you wanted, but you don't because you wouldn't have me to pick on! Why don't you take your whale mouth where your wanted, Ashley!" After I said that, She was crying, that girl could cry a river for all I care. She could cry me an ocean and I would still hate her!
******************
The next day I was wearing a Green Day t-shirt, ripped denim shorts and a Pierce the Veil hoodie. After applying natural looking makeup(Black mascara and eye-liner) I went downstairs to eat breakfast. Andrew was cleaning his Lebron's with my old tooth brush, Mom was doing school work, and Dad wasn't even there. I grabbed an apple, tossed it in the air, and headed out the door with my back pack.

I met up with Cole to walk with. He was wearing a West Point hoodie with skinny black jeans. Of course, his usual brown messy hair.
"So, are you still mad about last night?" Cole asked. "Yeah, but I couldn't get the stain out my my shirt. Oh well."
"Well if you want, we could throw mud at her today."
"Yeah! We'll have to hide in the bushes. When Ashley comes out for P.E., Since she doesn't change her shirt, we will tell her off. Then we'll run, and hopefully she'll chase us. When we go to the hose, which will be pre-watered, I'll grab a handful of mud and chuck it. Then run to the back. Okay?" I respond.

Sure enough, Cole was nervous. "but what if we get caught?"
"Then we lie. We both saw her fall, right?" Then I winked. "Uh, uh, right!"
********************
At 3rd period, Cole and I were ready. The mud was in place, and so was Ashley. Her white Aréopostale shirt was perfect. Not for long.
"Hey Ashley! Looking trashy today, not like you look any better than anyways."
The plan was in action. Ashley was running to punch me, but I already took off. I run to the hose, grab the mud, and throw it. Smack dab in the middle of her shirt.
"WHAT DID YOU DO! ANNIE, YOUR GOING TO BE EXPELLED!" Ashley yells. "Oh, no I'm not. You fell in the mud."
"Ah!" She says storming off.

Coles POV
Honestly, I thought Annie is a cool girl. Outgoing, smart, confident, and cute. Wait, cute. I can't possibly like a girl I just met. No, no, no, no, no.
"That was so cool!" I said, trying to break the silence between us as we were walking home. "I know! now remember, if anyone asks, she fell. Okay?" Annie said. "Well we're home. See you tomorrow." Annie quickly said before pulling me into a deep hug. That was the first hug we have had. And I think she liked it as much as I did.
