Alone for so Long.

Chapter 22: Talking

Troy and I played with Rebel all afternoon. I was surprised because most dogs would be scared and not do anything, but Rebel is way different.

We decide that Rebel will stay with Troy through the week and then I'll keep him in my room on the weekend.

"We need to get him a leash, a collar, and food," He said.

"Okay. We can get it after school," I reply.

"Okay," Troy says and pecks me on the lips. I go out of his window and back into mine.

I changed into my pj's and go into bed.

I wake up the next morning.

School. . .

My brain thought. I get up and go to my closet. I put on leggings and a long sleeve shirt.

I brush my teeth and put my hair into a side braid.

I walk downstairs to get kitchen. I grab a banana and orange juice. I get my coat on and my shoes.

I rush out the door, eager to see Rebel. I go over to Troy's house and knock on the icy door.

"Good morning beautiful," He says and pecks my lips.

"Good morning to you too, handsome," I reply.

I walk into his house and was greeted by Rebel and the warm heat.

I crouch down to Rebel. He greets me with kisses and jumping. I pick him up and hold him like a baby. He is so adorable. I gently put him down.

He stands beside me. I walk over to Troy and I see a cage, a collar, and a leash.

"Who got all this?" I ask.

"My parents," He replied.

Jordan walks into the area we were in.

"We should be going," She said.

We head into the car. Troy's mom drives us to school.

Once we get there, we go to our lockers and Troy walks me to class. We hold each others hands.

He lets go of my hand once we get to my classroom.

"See you in history," He said.

I freeze. Since when is he in my history?

"I changed my classes," He responded.

It's like he read my mind.

"Okay see you in fifth period," I reply.

I walk into first period with a smile on my face.

I walk into fifth period with the smile I had on in the beginning of first period.

I look for Troy and sure enough he is right beside where I sit. I walk over to my seat.

"Hey gorgeous," He said with a smile.

Well that made me blush.

"Hi," I reply.

"Class. May I have your attention? We have some new students in our class," The teacher said.

The class died down.

"This is our new member, Troy," The teacher gestures to him.

Troy stands up and then sits back down.

"And this is the new student. Come in Violet," The teacher said.

A dirty blond hair girl comes in. She is tall and has blue eyes. She looks around the room and her eyes land on Troy.

A pain of jealous hits me.

She sits down in the front row. Troy grabs my hand under the table. The table we are sitting at is a long black table.

We hold hands the whole class. After class, we walk out.

"Hello handsome!" The new girl said.

"Um hi?" Troy said uneasy.

"Hi! I'm Carolina and this is my boyfriend Troy," I say. The boyfriend was said a little louder than anything else.

She is flirting with him!

"Oh. Hi Troy!" Violet said. She totally ignored my existence!

"Let's go, Carolina," Troy said.

He grabs my hand.

"I love you," Troy said suddenly.

I look at him. What did he say?

"I love you too," I say breathless.

Troy loves me.

"You know that girl is nothing to me," He said.

"I know," I reply.

He kisses me quickly. We head to lunch.

After lunch, school was a blur.

I meet Troy outside. We walk hand and hand.

"Do you want to take the dog for a walk?" He asked.

"Yes!" I say happily.

We walk into Troy's house. Rebel bolts to us and jumps on us. He is so happy to see us.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Troy asked excitedly.

Rebel gets down and tilts his head confused.

"Come on Rebel!" Troy says.

I pick up Rebel and Troy puts the collar on him. Then, Troy put the leash on him.

I hold the leash.

"We are taking the dog for a walk," Troy screams to his parents.

"Okay. Be safe," His dad says.

We walk out of the house and walk down the snowy driveway. We walk down the sidewalk. We take our time walking in-case it is icy. Rebel walks in front of us. He is smelling the ground. His ears flop up and down as he walks.

We laugh at his ears. They are so cute. We walk three miles. I'm surprised that Rebel walked that far. We walk back into his house. We both our freezing.

"You're cheeks are so red," Troy says while chuckling.

"What do you think is going to happen when I don't have a scarf on!" I defensively.

"Do you want hot chocolate?" He asked.

"Yes!" I say eagerly.

Troy makes me hot chocolate.

"So my birthday is on coming up. . . " Troy starts.

"I know. I already know what I'm getting you. Mines coming up too," I interupted.

"I know. I know what I'm getting you," He said. He tried to mimick my voice.

I start to laugh at his attempt.

The door bell rings.

"I'll get it." Jordan yells.

"Troy it's for you," Troy's mom said.

Troy and I walk to the door.

What is she doing her. . .
