Blaire

Blaire.. What the actual hell are you doing? Why do you insist on making this much more awkward..

I couldn't believe I had all but demanded Mr. Jones to email me, exactly why he was on my facebook in the first place. I should have just let it go, and let it end before anything got too crazy.
"Nancy Drew! Why are you walking so bloody fast?" Will asked as he caught up to me on my walk home from school.
"Will Scarlet, if you call me Nancy Drew one more time I'll falcon punch you to the moon." I sighed.
"Noted." He chuckled. "I forgot to tell you, I did do some digging." He said.
"And?" I asked and turned around walking backwards.
"Well.. its not exactly great news love." Will frowned.
"My fathers in prison, and my mother is missing. I think I can handle it." I shrugged.
"Your father, he owed a lot of not great people.. A lot of money. Apparently he was into the drug scene."
I shook my head.
"No way. My dad was very vocal about his distaste for drugs. He taught youth boxing to kids who were trying to find a safer outlet. He did a lot of work to try and get drugs off the streets and out of peoples hands." I said.
"Well maybe after you came along he changed." Will shrugged.
"Where is your source Scarlet? I need more than hearsay." I said.
"I know someone, who knows someone and that is all I'm willing to give you right now. You don't understand the danger that hides in the shadows over there Blaire. All I'm saying is it's not looking good. If your dad owed a lot of money, what better way to get it, than to get insurance money from burning his own business to the ground?"
"He didn't do it." I said. "I Know he didn't and until you give me names.. I can't trust it." I added.
"Well, then I guess you're just going to have to trust me then." Will shrugged.

We walked into town square, and there was a really obnoxious sounding giggle to the left of us. I looked over and saw Anastasia, the girl who I instantly loathed in Algebra this morning. She was looking at Will, and then to me and laughing with her friends.
"The fuck is her problem?" I said and started walking that way.
Will caught my arm.
"Lets just go Blaire." He said.
"No, I want to know what's so funny." I said.
"Blaire!" Will said catching me off guard with the seriousness in his tone. I looked at him, there was something really sad in his eyes. "Please can we just go?" He asked.
"Okay.." I nodded and looked back at Anastasia who was waving at us and pouting at Will only to laugh again with her friends.
"Come on.." Will said. I followed Will, fighting off every urge to run back and slap the shit out of Anastasia.
"What was that all about?" I asked.
"Nothing important." Will shrugged.
"Well thats some bullshit." I sighed.
"She's just not worth the energy is all." Will said. His eyes were down and he looked really defeated.
"Come on." I said and grabbed his hand pulling him along with me.
"Blaire where are we going?" Will asked.
"To get ice cream." I said.
"Why?" Will asked.
"Because, you look like you could use some and if you don't let me take you to get ice cream I'm going to punch that blonde demon so hard in the face she'll look like a pug." I said. "Which could possibly be an improvement."
Will smirked. "You know for someone, who isn't my friend, you're quite friend like." He said. "I'd even say we are besties." Will added and did jazz hands for that extra Scarlet flare.
"Don't make me vomit, Scarlet. I'll lose my appetite. I sighed and opened the door to the small ice cream shop just off the square.

The blonde lady working behind the counter smiled at us.
"Hi there, you're a new face. I know just about everyone in town but I haven't seen you."
"Ingrid this is Blaire. She just moved here a couple weeks ago. She's Emma's cousin." Will said.
I wiggled my fingers in a hello.
"Well, Blaire what can I get for you?" Ingrid asked.
"Uhm...double scoop of cookie dough on a waffle cone..and whatever Will wants." I said.
"You know my usual." Will said.
"Got it." Ingrid smiled.

We waited for our ice cream for a couple minutes and then I paid and we left the shop.
"So..what's the deal with Anastasia? I asked.
"She was a mistake, and that's about all there is to it." Will said.
"I don't know if I believe that." I said. "Come on.. I told you about my dad being in Prison and I don't tell anyone that.."
Will sighed.
"Ana and I used to be a thing.. A big thing. Ana was like me, she wasn't born to the lavish life she lives now and at one point I honestly thought it was just going to be me, and her against the world and then her mother married up and and suddenly, I was not good enough for her. With the money, came the popularity, and you can't hold onto popularity with someone like me around so..well you know." Will shrugged.
"I'm..really sorry Will." I said. "God What an awful bitch, you should have let me punch her. Its one thing to call it quits its another to mock someone the way she was mocking you.."
"She aint worth it love, trust me." Will said and gave me a sad smile.
I sighed. "If you say so." I said. My phone started ringing in my pocket and I took it out to look at it.
"Oh..I have to take this. It's my dad." I said.
"Gotcha, I need to head home anyways, I'll see you later Blaire. Thanks for the Ice cream...and the talk." Will smiled.
