Faye
We were waiting on Jerryd to come out of his home so we could go to the magical wonderful place called School! Yay! Note the sarcasm, we being, Blade my cousin who was born on the same day as I was, damn him for trying to steal my birthday, and my best friend Riana, who was also Blade's girlfriend, and me Faye, the supreme goddess! Okay not really but give me time.
So as I was saying we were waiting on Jerryd to come out so we could got to our daily torture, but he hadn't even looked out the window yet to let us know that he knew we were here. So naturally we got worried, I looked at Blade and said, "Yo Bozo, cut the engine, I think we have to do an ambush, or we're going to be late" He sent a death glare at me as usual for using his nickname from me and I'm the only that's allowed to call him that. I of course sent him a smirk in response, but he did as I asked and we walked up to the front door and knocked, hoping that the door wouldn't fall on us and kill us or that Jerryd's grandmother wouldn't be here. She sometime made surprise visits, I think to try to get Jerryd's mom in trouble but since Jerryd never confirmed nor denied this claim of mine I have no actual clue. Sharon, Jerryd's mom or Mommy dearest as we called her, answered the door.
"Oh hey kids," she sent us each a smile, "he's just now waking up, he got home pretty late last night," she smiled knowingly as she said this. She thought her son had already lost his virginity despite what he says, and as far as we knew of, Jerryd was telling the truth. We nodded knowing it was useless to argue with her, and entered the trailer that they lived in. We each sat in the kitchen grabbing a donut from a Daylight Donuts box, waiting for Jerryd. We talked and babbled about random things, from anime to a test we had in algebra that day. Then Jerryd walked in, looking like hell and that he was in a nightmare. He looked at us with a brief glance of distrust that noone but me noticed, then he changed and put on a mask of his usual early morning grumpiness. He kept glancing at each of us like he didn't know us anymore.
"Hey Jerryd I need to ask your advice about something," I said knowing he wouldn't turn me down. He nodded and we walked into his room which was the furthest room from the street, as he closed the door, I turned around and glared at him. He turned around and saw my glare and raised an eyebrow at my glare.
"Well?" he said defiantly asking me to explain the glare. I wasn't going to back down and apparently niether was he. He stood there with his eyebrow raised and a frown on his face, and I stared back glaring full force. He knew what the glare was for, he just wasn't going to tell me without a fight. "I thought you wanted some advice," he said with a snarky tone that made me just want to slap him.
"Okay here's my problem," I began acidly knowing how much he hated that, but I hated being stared at as if my best and oldest friend couldn't trust me, "I have this friend who keeps looking at me like I just betrayed his trust, making me feel horrible for something I didn't do, and what's worse is that he's doing this with a smile on his face even though I can tell it's killing him on the inside," I paused to take a breath and to regain control of my emotions. We've only had a conversation like this once before when he came out of the closet and he was so scared that he would lose us. Last time it took me two days to blow up, I swore if he did this again I'd blow up right then and there no matter the consequences. He looked at me realising he was doing it again. "So what do you think I should do, Jerryd? Hm?" I demanded not caring at the fact that I hurt him, he hurt me so we were even.
"After telling him what an ass he's being," he began quietly looking at the floor, "You should let him have a chance to beg for forgiveness again and let him explain whats going on at the right time," When he finished, I was stunned. I couldn't believe that he asked me to wait on the explanation. I'd already forgiven him, I knew that much, but I needed to know what happened this time, so I could help him get through this. He looked at me pleadingly, "Please Faye, I'll tell you tonight during our arcade night with the others," I nodded knowing that if it involved letting the others in then it had to be bad. He looked like it was the end of the world, but we would've told him it wouldn't be, boy how wrong we would've been.
We walked back into the kitchen, after we had calmed down. He still had the mask on but it wasn't as guarded. He never did explain how he became so good at hiding his feelings, but Mommy Dearest said it was because of his father, the only time when we see true emotion is when he's with us and when he's with Jamie. "Okay lovebirds," I said cheekily, " time for us to get!" I smacked the back of Blade's head at the end of my comment.
"You're jus' jealous that you have noone to give you kisses to," he replied rubbing the back of his head. I stuck my tongue out at him, which he did the same.
"See this what you get for dating someone from Faye's family," I heard Jerryd whisper to Riana as she snickered. I look at them and they have these almost equal looks of mischievousness, almost because the smile didn't quite reach Jerryd's eyes.
"Okay kids you're going to be late if you don't leave now," Mommy Dearest said reminding us the reason why we were up at seven o' clock in the morning! We rushed out into Blade's car and drove to school in under five minutes, which was cool because school was at least a ten minute drive in the mornings because of the crazy parents and teens like Blade.
So after a death-defying ride that to this day I'm still surprised that cops hadn't stopped him for reckless driving, we made it to school. Everything was fine and dandy until Jerryd found Jamie, "Hey I gotta talk to James for sec, I'll be back and we can talk about arcade night," he ran off after we said sure. They headed into the cafeteria like we were and it looked like they were having a serious discussion.
"What are you saying James?" we heard Jerryd say, "Come on you don't mean this," he had an almost pleading quality to his voice.
"I do mean it, and quit sounding like a pathetic weakling," Jamie said in a harsh tone getting louder, "I've found someone else and he's cuter, smarter, and nowhere near as pathetic as you are,"
I was about to charge him at this point, when Riana pulled me back whispering in my ear, "Something's not right about this, stay calm until we know the whole story and help me keep Blade in check please?" I nodded ahppy to focus my anger on something else.
"James please don't," Jerryd began, "I love you," he whispered this last part.
"Are you serious?" Jamie replied with a snort, "How could anyone love you?" At this point Riana let go of Blade and stormed right up to Jamie and punched him right in the nose with a loud crack that had everyone wince.
"HOW DARE YOU TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT!" screeched Riana, if there was one thing the school had learned of us in the psat was that we were fiercely protective of our own, especially Riana. "HE IS THE MOST KIND CONSIDERATE GENEROUS MAN YOU'LL EVER MEET AND YOU JUST THROW HIM AWAY LIKE AN OLD SOCK?!" After each word as if to empasize her point, she started poking his chest hard.
"Come on Ri, he's not worth it and we have to go to Jerryd, he needs us," Blade was saying soothingly into her ear. But for every two steps he pulled Riana back she went back three. She put up a huge fight.
As we were walking away from Jamie, I thought I heard him whisper, "I've chosen well, they'll fight and hopefully win."
