Enjoy! Review and Favorite!(:
Chapter 1
I sit in the passenger seat of the car, staring out the window as the scenery blurs by.
"Amanda are you listening to me?" Alex asks, turning the radio down so I can hear her better.
"Yeah, of course" I say, looking away from the window
So?" she asks, smiling.
"What?"
"So you weren't paying attention" she sighs, slamming on the brakes.
I fly forward and put my hands on the dashboard to stop my head from smashing into it.
"What the heck! Retard!" She yells, leaning on her horn.
The guy in the car in front of us sticks his head out the window, giving us a one finger wave.
"Aw look he's saying hi to you Alex!" I wave back at him teasingly.
Alex shakes her head, smiling.
"The people that they give a license to these days" She says, slamming on the gas as the guy in front of us takes a sharp turn.
I climb out of the small car once Alex pulls into the crowded parking lot. Leaning against it, I take a look around at all the buzzing students.
"Welcome back to hell" I mutter as Alex walks around to my side of the car.
"tell me about it"
She presses a button on her keys, locking her car. We walk up the steps together to the castle-like high school, entering the glass doors. The halls were just as crowded as the parking lot as students hang out at each others lockers, catching up on each others summer. Alex and I split to find our lockers and make plans to meet up after advisement.
Putting the combination in my locker, I pull my books out of my bag and shove it in my locker, slamming it shut and looking at my schedule. I head to class silently, being stopped in the hallway only a few times by some friends. The classroom is quiet as I walk in. Looking at the clock there's still five minutes before everyone is late. I take a seat in the back of the room and lean back in the chair.
A boy who looks familiar walks into the room, taking a seat in the desk next to me. He runs a hand through his dark brown hair that covers part of his light blue wears a navy blue sweatshirt and dark jeans. He looks over at me.
"hey" he says smiling.
i give him a small wave.
"um, it's Amanda. Right?" He asks and I nod, trying to remember his name.
"and you're..." I pause and try not to make it noticeable that I'm having trouble remembering his name. I bite my lip, taking a guess. "Luke" I say, confidently.
He laughs and shakes his head. "It's Peter" he says, as the bell rings.
After the bell signifying class rings I grab my books and walk out of the room to Alex's locker. She stands at it, shoving books in it not so merrily.
"can today go any slower?" she asks when I get to her locker.
"don't jinx it" I mutter, watching as Peter walks by us.
"I feel really bad. Today in class I forgot his name and he remembered mine" I say and sigh.
Alex looks over at me. "so? it's not like he's unforgiving. I mean, if a hot guy like that wasn't one to forgive, I don't know what I would do with life" she says, leaning against the locker next to me.
I elbow her in the stomach. "ouch, I'm just saying, so what he's bullied, he's still hot!"
She moves out of my reach before I elbow her again.
"Just, don't" I say and walk to my next class.
Lunch comes faster than I expected, but I'm not going to complain. Alex and I sit at an empty table, me poking at my salad and her playing with her sandwich.
"I wish they fed us food" she mutters and i laugh a little.
"That would be no fun!" I giggle.
We both look up when we hear a slam and a bunch of shouting. Standing up, I run towards the crowd of people. In the center, Matt has Peter pinned to a wall while the crowd around me exclaims and demands a fight. Someone touches my arm and I spin around to meet Alex's eyes. "Don't do anything stupid, Amanda" She whispers and I shrug.
"But that's no fun" I say and push my way through the crowd.
Once I'm in the front I walk into the middle where Matt has his arm pulled back, ready to throw a punch.
"Leave him alone!" I yell at Matt, who spins around and look at me.
"what are you going to do about it?" he asks and I bite my lip, not exactly sure.
He drops Peter and walks towards me. I try to walk backwards but he grabs a fistful of the front of my shirt.
"Would you like to take his place?" He says and i shake my head. "Scared of a little punch, Amanda?" He teases. "It's not like your brother would have even touched you" He says and i ball my hands into fists at him mentioning my brother.
"Leave my brother out of this" I say through clenched teeth.
"aw, is little Amanda still pissed that he bit the dust before she could?" he says.
Without thinking, i throw a punch, hitting him directly in the nose and watching as he staggers back, releasing my shirt.
"You should run now" I hear Alex whisper from behind me. Without looking behind me, I sprint through the crowd and towards the cafeteria doors.
Sooner than I expected, I hear Matt's footsteps behind me. "You are so dead!" he yells as I sprint out the doors and down the hallway. As I pass the supply closet, something grabs my arm and drags me in, slamming the door behind us. I scream and kick, expecting Matt. Whoever dragged me in, clamps a hand over my mouth and drags me back farther into the closet as the door opens, revealing Matt's face peering in. I hold my breath and he looks around. After what feels like hours, he goes back to the hallway and shuts the door. The hand over my mouth releases me and I stagger backwards, catching my breath.
"relax, it's just me, Peter" he says and I let out a loud breath out of relief.
"Thanks for that, but I had it handled" he says and I laugh, shaking my head.
"sure" I take a seat on the cold ground. Peter takes a seat in front of me.
"You didn't though. What were you thinking?" He asks and I shrug.
"I just wanted to help..." I bite my lip.
"well thanks, but don't do it again" he chuckles.
"I'm sorry about your brother" he adds. I shake my head.
"Don't be" I mutter and stand up as the bell rings, signaling the ending of lunch. I stand up and dust off my pants.
"thanks again" he says and I give him a small wave and walk out into the hallway.
I sit on the bench in front of a corner store downtown. Alex lies across the other half of it, complaining about how she shouldn't have eaten so much.
"Shut up" I tell her and she rolls her eyes. I look up at the night sky.
"we should probably head to the theater, the movies going to start soon" I say, standing up. Alex holds her hands out for me to help her up. I sigh and grab them, pulling her up. Only a few people are out tonight as we walk down the sidewalk to the theater.
"you know, living in NYC you would think it would be more crowded" I point out and Alex shrugs.
"well, it's a school night?" she guesses and I laugh.
"What the hell?" she asks, looking up. I follow her gaze to see a blur of red and blue in the sky. "what is that?" I ask Alex. "how am I suppose to know?"
