Chapter 2. Too far
Pesto's POV
I was on my way to work at the arcade my parents own wen i Suddenly walked in to some one. "Watch ware your going!" I immediately recognized the voice. "Sorry Cleo. You okay?" I asked worried at the fact she had fallen over and that she was out in the cold rain without a jacket.
"Why should you care!" she snapped. I was a little shocked at her response. Cleo may be sarcastic at times but she doesn't normally yell at me. she quickly sidestepped me and continued walking. I was thinking about following her but i had to get to work. I spent the whole day at the arcade trying to figure out what Cleo was so mad about. Maybe she was mad that i didn't stand up for her when Amanda called her a brat but how could I stand up to Amanda she just so dreamy. I shook my head to get my thoughts straight i need to find out what Cleo was so mad about. I don't know why but I just cant stand the idea that Cleo hates me.
The next day at school
Cleo's POV
i was walking to my locker when the taunting started "Hey Fashion Freak hows it going." said Addy Miller. I gritted my teeth and tried not to lose my temper. Addy was my school's fake Miss Perfect. but really evil demon. She is tall has long straight caramel color hair tan skin and blue eyes. standing on either side of her "friends" Bette Smith and Jane Honey. Bette has short curly blonde, hair pale skin, and green eyes. and Jane has dark brown hair pretty brown skin and brown eyes. I kept on walking to my locker "I don't even know why you stick around. I mean not even that Pesto boy likes you. Can't you tell that your not wanted here!" Addy snarled.
She was right know one does like me not Pesto not anybody. I started fiddling with the lock on my locker tell I finally got it to open and that's when it happened. All of a sudden purple goop flew out of my locker and splattered all over me. "Ha ha ha look at the friend less freak. I wonder who did that?" Chuckled Addy. "I thought you did!" Exclaimed Jane.
"Nope." "Hey look a note!" Said Bette pointing to a note that was taped to the inside of my locker.
You've just been crashed from Crash Wyatt and Pesto.
So that just proves it no one cares for me not even my own family. I felt hot tears run down my cheeks I was not sure if they were angry or sad. I looked around the halls and saw people starring and laughing at me. I started to feel dizzy and light headed. "Ha ha hey look at how funny Cleo looks!" I heard Crash yell and that's when I broke. All the taunting laughing and jeering was to much I just could not take it any more. My brothers and Pesto a boy who I once called my best friend had just publicly humiliated me in front of the whole school.
That was it I was done with it all I am sick of being made fun of and pranked. I started to run out of school. "Cleo," I heard a voice I recognized as Pesto's yell after me but I didn't care he had helped do this to me he betrayed me in elementary school and he still did the same now. I was done with him and my brothers and everyone. if I am not wanted here then I'll just leave.
Pesto's POV
I was walking down the hall to my locker when Wyatt called me over in a hushed voice
"Hey Pesto you gotta come see this." Both he and Crash were pressed up against the wall and peering around the corner when I walked up. "What are you doing?" I asked slowly afraid of what they might be up to.
"Just wait and see." Said Wyatt in a sly voice. I looked around the corner and saw Cleo walking to her locker. Addy was talking to her but I couldn't hear what she's saying. Suddenly Cleo opened her locker and purple goop flies all over her. I hear Addy and her friends laughing and soon a crowd is forming. I look at Cleo and am stunned at the look of pure hurt on her face as she looks at some thing in her locker. "Ha ha look how funny Cleo looks!" Yelled Crash making me for some reason want to hit his purple face. Cleo turned started running. "Cleo!" I yell after hoping she will stop but she just keeps on running. I push my way to Cleo's locker Wyatt and Crash behind me. I got to Cleo's locker and look in I saw a note
You've just been crashed from Crash Wyatt and Pesto.
"Why is my name on the note?" I asked bewildered. "Oh, you weren't here so after I setup the prank me and Bernstein put your name on for you!" Explained Crash excitedly. "Oh but why did you do it in the first palace?" I asked confused I know Cleo may not along so well with her brothers but this seemed a little extreme even for them. "Oh she was bugging me and Crash yesterday, so we decided to prank her though now that i think about it this was harsh." Wyatt explains. "I think it was." I agreed worried "Do you think we should try and find her?" I asked.
"Nah she probably just went home." said Wyatt confidently. but I'm not so sure
Cleo's POV
I ran as fast as I could until I reached home. I quickly went to my room. I am thankful that my mom is still at work. Let's see what do I need? Food water clothes and money. I know those things are essential to my survival. I looked around and quickly found my back pack. I look in my closet and find an old pair of sweat pants the I normally would never use in public but they will be easy to travel in. I also pack 2 plain black long sleeve shirts and 1 pair of jeans. It's not very fashionable, but what are you going to do?
I walked over to my bed and lifted up the mattress and took out my secret stash of money that I had been saving to get into a good college and stuffed it in to my bag. I then went to the kitchen and found all the nonperishable food I could and stuffed it in to my bag. I also took my Ipod, my Ipod charger and Wyatt's black hoodie. I took the hoodie so I could pull the hood over my head to obscure my face so that no one will recognize me. As I walk out the apartment building door i turn around and look at the building one last time. "Goodbye." I whisper then turn back and head for the nearest bus station.
