Chapter Twenty-one

　

　

　

Joey and I walked out of the girl's bathroom with REALLY weird looks. De Ja vu, Sound familiar? Joey nudged my shoulder at how many people were standing there looking at us.That's when we both bursted out laughing at it and then the stares got more intense and that caused us to laugh even harder. I didn't worry about getting in trouble because I doubt she would admit I beat her down into a mudhole in front of people! Then all of a sudden Mara, Adrain,and Keyana all appeared in front of me. I dont's blame them for disappearing, I mean they have a right not to be hit too don't they?

"What was it like?"Mara asked

"Did she hurt you?"Adrain asked

"Did you get in trouble?"Kenya asked

"Did she cry?" Mara asked

"Fun.NO.no.and Yes!" I said pointing to each of them for there answers.

"Alright get to class! Clear the hallways!" A random teacher demanded

" I guess I'll see you guys after school, Bye"

Even though Joey's class was on the other end of the wing he came running after me.

"Hey! you be careful and you better not get into anymore fights either! lmma tell Allen when I get a chance too!"Then he put his trademark smirk on his face and kissed my cheek "Bye Mandie, Love you"

"Bye love you too and get to class!" I called as he was running to the other side already

When I walked into class ,everything got really quiet. I bet rumors about me and Trisha and maybe even Joey were already all around the school. I have thirty pairs of eyes on me , making me feel like I was small and stupid. At this point the old me would've turned around and started crying or ran to her seat,but the new me that I just decovered -could kick butt and wasn't doing that. She was going to march to her seat with her head held high! So that's just what I did and then when I sat down, it was like everybody turned back around to start more rumors about me but something told me-

' You don't care Amanda , let em talk that's all they will be doing from now on.'

"Hey there,are you new to the school?" Some random dude stoped me.

"Ha! I've had at least ten classes with you my whole life and you haven't recognized me until now? Very funny!" I laughed at him and how foolish he was to think he was going to get me!

For the rest of the day I got at least ten more of random people come up to me. Adrian and Mara also told me that people came up to them asking about me ,they flicked them off and went away laughing. Similar to what I did.

"Does this one look nice?" I said looking at a black strapless dress.

"Argg! Just pick one! you've had at least seven picks and they all look wonderful!" Mara pouted.

That was true . I had looked at at least seven picks and I really didn't know which one to pick. I glanced at myself in the mirror. Then I remembered the dream.

"Hey! I've got mine!" I announced.

"Yes! Now take it off and put your normal clothes back on so we can get shoes to match." She said with a sudden burst of energy.

"Okay , Just a second, I promise I wont take long"

"I've got these" Adrian called. She was holding up some black shiny pumps."Okay well I got these" Keyana said "And I've got mine so are we ready?"

Once we paided for the shoes and the dresses we hopped in the car and the whole ride home we listen to my custom made CD.

"Nohlan is so sweet for making this CD for you. Didn't he say he hated all these songs?" Adrian asked.

"Yep, he is and I have the perfect plan to make it up to him!"I said think of my little plot.

"Ohhh what is it?" Mara asked

"Uhhh... I can't tell you guys" I said honestly

"Oooo Amanda is going to finally tell Nohlan that she is in love with him!"

"NO IM NOT!" I screamed almost running over a random cat.

"Alright calm down I was only kidding" Keyana said as if she was scared of me.

Throughout the rest of the car ride it was silent ,not an awkard silence , a comfortable one.

When I arrived at my house , they let me stop driving and I seen Joey's car as well as Allen's , that itself made me smile more.I quickly grabbed my bags and my CD and waved bye. I walked into the house to find Joey on the couch watching TV but when I entered, his attention turned towards me.

"Did you have fun?" he asked

"Yeah" I moved my clear-totaly-see-through bag with my dress in it behind me so he couldn't see it.

"What do you have?"

"Uh just my new dress"

"Let me see it "

"Oh No Mister! Its a surprise for Friday " I ran as fast as I could to my little hiding spot and put it there.

As I was walking back to the living room and I walked past Allens room and I peeked in

"Hey"

"Were you in a fight today " He said through gretted teeth.

I stood there dumbfounded. Every since Dad wasn't a major role in our lives Allen was always the one to displine me along with my Mom.

"You've got a really good friend downstairs! He explained everything!" He reasoned.

"Im going to kill Joey" I muttered

"So are we cool ?" I said innocently.

"NO! If you do it again instead of it being a month it might be six considering the way I may be feeling "He said refering to lock down.

"Okay Allen"

"Whatever Ami ,I was serious " he said with a smirk.

"Are you hungry ?" I said changing the subject

"Yeah , what are you cooking?"

"My famous cassrole"I said grining.

"OH YEAH! Big servings please!"

We were all at the table eating. "So Joey, are you excited about tomorow?" I asked because I was ."No , I'm really not looking forward to fighting." He said blandly.

" I promise if that happens we can leave" I said reasuringly

"Hey Allen didn't you have a date?" Joey asked

"Yeah I kinda cancelled"

"Why" I asked

"Because I remebered how annoying her voice was"

After that we all bursted out with laughter. Throughout the rest of dinner we joked and talked about random things.When we were done eating Allen washed the dishes, Joey swept and I wiped the counter down, then we all played Monoply.

Suddenly the door came open and my mom was here.

"Im home!" She called.

Allen Me and even Joey all gave her a hug and helped her with her luggage.We caught up and talked and had fun,and this time Joey didn't leave.

I couldn't help but think that this was just perfect. Even though my Dad is dead, he is still with us at heart.It was nice, and I guess Joey understood what he was missling yesterday when Allen came.
