I stared at the large headed boy who was now focusing his attention on my sister. She was obviously flirting. I know this by the way she went all googly eyed on him.

" What the hell are you doing here?" Jarred arose from his chair eyeing Anthony viciously. Once receiving his attention Anthony returned the same motion.

" I see your still around." He glared at him. I could feel the tension and so did everyone one else. I know this because some of them took out their phones.

" And you obviously haven't had enough!" Jarred spat at him. He looked like he was going to jump over the table and attack him. His nostrils were flaring like an enraged horse.

I needed to react before this gets out of hand. Both of their fists were already clinched. And Destiny looked confused as she watched the scene infront of her.

Standing up I placed my body in between them. Although I didn't like Anthony just as much as Jarred did, I was not going to let him go down for something stupid like this.

" Anthony I think you should go."

He breathed heavily as he grabbed his tray dunking it in the trash can. I flinched at the loud noise it made. This is fucked up. Just when everything actually seemed okay.

I heard a whistle and found Destiny looking up at me and a highly pissed Jarred. " Okay what the hell was that?"

Along with her question came eavesdroppers who had now started walking by the table trying to hear. And they did it so noticeable. One nearly fell.

" I'll tell you once we get home."

" But I want to know now." She whined.

" I said I'll tell you later." I said this through clenched teeth.

They hosted cheerleading auditions on the same field as football. Destiny looked worrisome when it was her turn. She had put her black hair into two ponytails. I watched as she stepped out into the open. Her worry was still there.

" Go Destiny!" I shouted onto the field. They started laughing at her that's when I knew that I had made the wrong move. She did a smug expression before glaring at me. In return I just shrugged my shoulders.

" Go Destiny!"

Anthony had appeared on the side of me. I looked at Des who had smiled and somehow received confidence as she did her cheers and flips. I smiled at her sudden courage. Glancing around the field I saw the seniors smile. Well everyone except Carla and Savannah.

" She's good."

I had forgotten that Anthony was there. He stared out into the field at the others. I looked at his new haircut he had gotten a mohawk and dyed it a dirty blonde.

" What do you want Anthony?"

I asked him in all seriousness. He looked at me as he sighed outloud. Here we go again. The same I'm sorry act. To tell you the truth it's getting tiring.

" You know why I'm here."

Of course I knew why he was here. I just don't see why it matters to him so much. When people make mistakes they move forward. So why does it seem like I'm always moving back?

" Anthony why do you care so much? With my experience people like you never change. "

He gave me an hurt expression. I immediately felt guilty for saying that. But it's true isn't it? If it is why do I feel so wrong?

" Anthony stay away from me."

When I said this I can tell he was more aggravated. The guilt crept through striking me where it hurt the most. He walked away mumbling angry words. Why give him a task I didn't want him to complete? I just wanted it to be over.

"Hey so what's with you and the hunk of Notre Dame?"

Destiny grinned eyeing Anthony from afar. The signs are so obvious, she's interested. I should tell her now before she gets in too deep.

I cleared my throat preparing myself to speak, " He uh , he uhh--"

" Just spit it out Hannah." She rolled her eyes at my loss of speech. " What's wrong Hannah cat's got your tongue?" My inside voice teased me. She's fucking annoying.

" He drugged me okay." I had caught her attention once again with the power of words. She sat down staring into her hands. " Maybe he's sorry. Maybe he's changed."

She said the words with all hopefulness. Why do I feel so betrayed? I mean I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that. I heard a whistle blow in the background.

As I looked out on the field I saw Jarred and Anthony run out. I waved when he looked at us and Destiny practiced her cheerleading skills. " You can do it just stick to it! Go Vikings!" She yelled putting all her team spirit out there.

"How bout you get a beat!" I looked and saw Savannah and Carla's crew laughing. I'm sick and tired of them preying on us whenever they get the chance. " Hey Savannah how about you grow a chest!" I yelled back at her with a smirk tugging at the edge of my mouth.

She was shocked stupid, Carla and her crew started laughing at her. Nice friends Savannah. " Hey ladies you're here to watch so shut your mouths or leave." The coach shouted up at us. I couldn't help but notice Christian and Carlos on the field. As if Anthony wasn't enough.

I watched as Carlos and Christian blew kisses to all the girls, including me and Des. When Christian directed his eye on Des he grabbed his um..... little package and hosted it up. She gladly repaid him with the middle finger which he kindly frowned upon. I love my sister.

Please don't kill me! It's short I know but I wanted to post it so bad. Was it good or nah? Don't forget to COMMENT and or VOTE.

WITH KISSES FROM THE STARS

XOXOXOXO
