Ballet Shoes

Amy ❤️ Candy

Math was boring. We talked about homework and did a worksheet. Every 5 minutes Jenna would text me ; what's the answer to number _?

I give her most of the answers but at after 3 minutes I text back figure it out.

The bell rings and we've an our stuff and go.

•••
Writing was also very boring. Currently I just finished changing and Abigail and we posse corner me once again.

"Remember what I told you last time? Stay AWAY from your little 'group'." She growls. Abigail grabs me next and slams me into the wall.

I'm lifted off the ground. She choking me. Oh god. I scratch at her hand. She doesn't seem affected by it.

Abigail's posse laughs and the rest of girls start to scream.

Black dots cloud my vision and I go limp. Abigail lets go, but I don't know why.

Then Coach kneels down next to me and starts screaming at the girls. Every thing she screams are muffled. Coach shakes me every time I drift off.

I drift off anyway.

I wake up in the nurses office. All my friends are crowded around my cot eating each other's lunch.

Ethan makes eye contact and jumps up.

"Oh my god your ok!" He screams. Ow my ears.

I sit and cover my ears with my index finger.

Jenna flicks Ethan in his temples. James turns off the lights to let me stop squinting.

"Thanks." I whisper.

"I am so glad your alright. You should have SEEN Ethan when we heard what Abigail did to you. It took literally 5 teachers to take him off of Abigail." Whispers Xavier.

"Good." I smile at Ethan and signal him to one to my cot with a wave of my hand.

He sits next to my feet and rests his hand on my ankle.

"You hungry?" Ethan asks me.

I nod.

Jenna tackles me into a hug and gives me half of her untouched sandwich.

I eat it awkwardly while the watch me.

"Guy your making her nervous don't watch her! And can someone please turn on the lights?! I don't want to step on someones sand which with these new boots!" James yells. Xavier turns on the lights and it takes me a few minutes for my eyes to get use to the light.

I finished my sandwich and make an attempt to stand up. I'm a little wobbly at first, but Ethan stabilizes me by grabbing my waist.

We walk to my locker and I grab my music stuff. The rest of the day was boring. Ethan offered to take me home and I accept.

"Can you go to Sheldon Elementary that's where my sister is and I need to pick her up?" I ask Ethan. I nod and he makes a turn.

"So tell me about yourself." I rise an eyebrow at him.

"What is there to tell?"

"Your favorite color. Or animal, number?"

"Ok black, birds and 10. What about you."

"White, Glob fish and 100."

"What the heck is a Glob Fish?!"

"It's-"

"We're here!" I open the door and basically run to the entrance to see Amy waiting for me on the steps.

I smile at her and take her hand.

"How was school?"

"Fun! I can name all the people in my class! Wanna hear? Ok so Mia, she lives on a farm. Leah, she owns 4 cats- " Amy interrupts herself when she notices Ethan.

"Amy, Ethan, Ethan, Amy, she's my sister."

He nods and kneels down to meet her eyes.

"Want some candy?" She nods so fast I thought her head was going to fall off. Amy lets go of my hand and attaches herself to Ethan's leg.

"She isn't going to let go isn't she?" I shake me head and try not to laugh.

We walk side by side while Ethan walks excruciatingly slow because of the extra wait ok his leg by Amy.

•••

"What's your favorite sport?" Ethan asks. I glance back at Amy eating candy in the back seat she is watching sponge on on the tv in Ethan's car.

"I like horse back riding."

"Football."

"Soccer." Mumbles Amy says with food in her mouth.

I raise an eyebrow as if to say don't talk with food in your mouth.

We arrive quickly and Amy runs inside of Ethan's house.

I shriek and run after her. I grab her arm as she stands on the counter rifling through his cabinets for more candy. I throw her over my shoulder and she squeals and starts kicking her legs.

"Amy! You can't just go running into people's house searching for candy!"

I turn toward Ethan and Ethan is laughing hard.

I furrow my eyebrows and set down Amy.

He calms down.

"Kid you can go watch some tv I'll order some pizza." Amy squeals and runs toward the tv.

"I'm so sorry about Amy." I quickly apologize.

"Oh no it's ok I love kids, what kind of pizza do you like?" He asks.

"You don't have to get us pizza."

"Too late." He smirks and orders cheese pizza.

Right after he hung up the phone, Amy starts screaming the lyrics to let it go.

"LET IT GOO LET IT GOOOO." Her voice cracks and Ethan's starts chucking while walking into the living room.

"Amy! Be quiet." I yell at her.

"LET IT GOOOOOOOOO!" I sigh and rub my temples.

I gasp.

"What about your parents?!" I ask Ethan.

"Dads dead, and my mom is working overtime as a Social Services Person." He responds and spreads himself over the couch.

"Ok..."

"THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAYS!" Amy ends. Thank god. 5 more minutes of that singing I was sure someone was going to call the police.

Amy starts singing do you wanna build a snowman.

"DO YOU WANNA BUILD A SNOWMAN?" She sings.

"No." I respond.

"COME ON LETS GO AND PLAY!" Ethan and Amy yell in unison.

"No thanks." I say in monotone.

"I NEVER SEE YOU ANYMORE, COME OUT THE DOOR ITS LIKE YOU GONE AWAY." They both scream.

Maybe it's because of the scream from you too. I don't say that because I know it would hurt their feelings.

After finishing Do You Wanna Build. A Snowman and In Summer we eat pizza. After we all crashed on the couch.
