Chapter three.
I carefully unfolded the note; wondering what it could possibly say.
'What are you doing back? Thought I told you to stay gone.'
I glared at His messy scrawl on the ripped sheet of paper not believing how entirely rude He actually was.
'Yea, ya did…and we both know I don't listen to directions well.' I wrote back, annoyed. My elegant cursive contrasted rather drastically with His own chicken scratch. I threw the note over to Him, hitting Him square in the chest. Tyler narrowed his eyes at me and I gave him an innocent look, "What?"
"What'd the note say?" Sarah asked in a hushed whisper.
"Nothing…" I said copying some of Tyler's overly organized notes.
"Oh whatever! Comeon!
Spill!" Sarah whispered again as she pretended to get something out
of her bag when really she was texting Caleb, who was more then
likely having almost the same conversation with Him. Something
soft hit me on the shoulder. He had written back.
'Don't
be such a bitch, Alena. Your not wanted here.' I could practically
feel him sneering at my back.
'You made that clear four years ago, didn't youReid?' I sighed and past it back, lucky for me the bell rang so I didn't have a chance to read his reply.
I quickly shoved my things into my bag, and pretty much ran out of the classroom. When my friends and brother called my name, I ignored them. It was the first day, and it was already too much. If only I weren't such a Daddy's girl…
I did the only thing that I was ever really good at, I ran. The world went bye in a blur of colors, and I was focused on my destination- wherever that maybe, in attempt to block my past from my mind. Unfortunately, the floodgates broke.
Going to California was possibly one of the best things that ever happened to me. Those four years went bye in flurry of wild late night parties, paying bail, and attempting to forget my past. Which included, my twin, my mother, my best friends in the entire world, and the one man that I ever truly loved and…and…
I had spent almost four entire years moving on with my life, spreading my wings and flying, taking a deep breath and just plain living. Now, now I was diving into a can of ugly worms- headfirst.
I let out a frustrated growl, and wiped tears from my cheeks that had unknowingly fallen from my eyes.
"I'm strong, proud, and beautiful, and he doesn't deserve my tears. I'm strong, proud, and beautiful, and he doesn't deserve my tears." I said to myself, taking a few deep breaths. "Strong, proud, and beautiful, and he doesn't deserve my tears."
I knew that sitting here and crying wasn't going to solve anything. Even though, I'd rather sit her and cry then actually do anything, but I can't about allow myself to do that. Why? Because I am strong, proud, and beautiful, and that jackass doesn't deserve my tears.
With this attitude, I stood, straightened my skirt, picked up my belongings and headed back in the same direction I came from. When I got back to my dorm, I changed into my favorite pair of ass jeans- ladies; you all know you have them, and a red top, which worked wonders with my never tan, fair skin. You'd think for someone who basically surfed everyday for four years straight that I'd be tan, but I just don't tan…I burn. I slipped on a pair of my favorite slide on Vans and headed out the door. I had agreed to go to Nicky's with the girls…and Tyler.
So, I hopped in the wonderful little BMW Z9 Cabriolet that my mom bought me, and headed over. Speeding the entire way, loving the rush, and the feeling of the air whipping my hair around. I turned up the music, which was already blasting through the speakers, and enjoyed the disgruntled looks of the people that I flew past. I had to laugh, this was way a lot of fun.
I pulled up to Nicky's and it was already dark. I could hear the music and laughter from outside the pool hall, and smiled as I thought about how when the boys and I where 14 and 15 we'd always try to sneak in only to have Nicky chase us out.
I slipped in and was immediately bombarded with the lovely aroma of cigarettes and alcohol. I headed to the bar and was greeted with a warm hug from Nicky and free drinks for the whole night.
"How about just a water for now."
"Sure thing."
I sat down on an empty bar stool, and looked around for everyone else. Aaron and his gang where by the jute box, Caleb and Sarah where playing foosball and Pouge and Kate where making out at a table littered with empty soda glasses and baskets of fries. I continued to look around; finally I spotted my brother and Ass-face playing pool. I watched as Aaron joined them and they began another round of pool.
Tyler glanced over, saw me, and motioned me over.
"Hey," I said smiling.
"Hey. Kiss for good luck?" Tyler said giving me his cheek.
I laughed and gave him a quick kiss.
"Hey Alena, how 'bout me?" Aaron asked coming up beside Tyler with a sly look on this face.
Then…my brain hatched an idea (A/N that's from Spongebob…yes…I'm a dork…), "Why don't we make this interesting, Aaron?"
"Yea? How so?" He said, his smirk growing. Reid said nothing, watching impassively.
"Alena…"Tyler said, a warning in his voice.
"Don't worry, Ty, I can take care of myself." I said all the while keeping eye contact with Aaron.
"If you loose…you have to leave my brother, myself, and our friends alone until graduation."
"Alright, easy enough. What if I win?"
"I'll do whatever you want for a week."
"Alena!" Tyler said with a glare at Aaron, but the shock was much more apparent on his features.
"Whatever I want." Aaron said a devilish look on his face.
"Whatever you want." I said with a sexy smirk.
Tyler pulled me back from him, "What are you insane!?" He hissed.
"Maybe…" I said smiling, "What? I want to have fun, okay? Just cause I've got three protectors doesn't mean that I have to become a nun…plus, if you're this worried, then win."
"Maybe you should be a nun…"
"I was a sexy nun for Halloween last year." I said laughing, showing off my dimples. Tyler groaned.
"You're going to make me go gray." He said through laughter.
"Are we going to start or what? I want to be able to enjoy my prize sometime before school starts tomorrow." I saw Aaron smirk as he set himself up to break.
I walked over them, doing this all with the sole purpose of pissing Reid off, and leaned over, my chest inches away from his body. "Well then, you better win." My lips brushed his ear, all the while, my eyes locked with Reid's.
Inwardly, I didn't mind if I would go home with Aaron tonight, I also was jumping joy, inside of course, when I saw Reid's knuckles whiten as they tightened around his pool stick.
"Well boys, let the game begin." I said then Aaron broke the triangle.
I, however, ordered, a double shot of whisky.
