Chapter 3
Spencer's POV:
"Yo Spence! I'm leaving if you don't hurry up, so get your slow ass down here." Glen shouted from the driveway. Clay slapped his shoulder.
"Hey man, leave her alone for once."
"I was just reminding her—"
"That you're an ass." I rolled my eyes, smiling, and returned Clay's high five.
"Whatever." Glen sulked and climbed into the car, blasting the radio at the highest volume. I sighed and leaned back, wishing the weekend wasn't over yet.
Right when we got to school, Zach came running up to me, grinning cutely in his signature button-down shirt and Converse.
"Hey babe, what's going on?" Zach kissed my cheek and took my bag off my shoulders. Aww. He always was the perfect gentleman. Zach Carroll was my boyfriend ever since freshman year when I met him in Journalism. He's tall, smart, athletic, and handsome with his shining green eyes and messy dark brown hair. He's always there when I need him, never pressures me into anything, and blows off everything to put me first. Yet, there's just something missing. Lately, that feeling of missing something was getting stronger, but I just couldn't place what it was. I mean he's everything a perfect boyfriend could be.
But maybe that's his problem.
He's just too perfect. Sometimes it just gets a little boring.
But whatever. Who am I to judge? I should just be thankful that I'm not stuck with some cocky jerk like my brother.
"Hi Zach," I said, kissing him back. Somehow, it feels different, just like his eyes have been, they weren't his usual eager, happy eyes, they were secretive and even a little bit confused. But I shook it off and continued walking and listening halfheartedly to how his weekend was.
A sudden feeling of someone's staring eyes came across me. I turned around so quickly I almost got whiplash. Still there was no one there.
"Are you ok babe?" Zach asked, absentmindedly.
"Yeah I'm fine." I said as he dropped me off at my locker and kissed me goodbye.
"I'll see you later. Pick you up at nine for Ego!" Zach said, waving.
As I opened my locker, I noticed something long and wooden at the bottom of it. Confusion flooded through me as I picked it up.
A drumstick? What the hell was this even doing in my locker? How the hell could this even get in there?
Sighing, I shrugged and put the graffiti-covered drumstick in my coat pocket. Today could not get any weirder.
"Is the Euglena an animal-like protist, or a plant-like protist?" Mrs. Morin asked. I don't see why she bothers. All of us are brain-dead on Monday mornings.
"It is considered both because it has chloroplasts but is also motile." Well mostly brain-dead. It does seem that Madison is always the odd one out doesn't it?
"Eww! Why is the tail coming out from the front?!" Matt squealed, jumping out of his seat.
Oh god, save me.
"Well I don't know Matt, but you seem awfully interested." Ashley rolls her eyes, obviously annoyed with our extremely strange class. "Ugh. When is this over?"
"Not soon enough," I sighed as she smiled at me.
"Sick of school already, Carlin?"
"No just my class," I smirked.
Ashley pretended to be offended. "Well then! I'm not going to share my Euglena with you." I laughed as she stuck her tongue out at me and walked away.
A tap lands on my shoulder and I turn around, my eyes meet with Scott Nuccio's.
"Spencer, you do know she's gay don't you?" Scott said, disgusted. "If you want, I can show you what a real man is like."
"Fuck off Scott. I don't really care that's she's gay and I wouldn't date you if you were the last homophobe on Earth." I don't swear or get angry often but it really makes me angry when people talk like that.
"What if I were the last homophobe in the universe?"
"Go fuck your mom."
"Who's fucking whose mom?" I turned back around to see an amused Ashley.
"Well… uh…" My anger drains almost immediately.
"That's ok, spare me the details." She sighs dramatically, "And being the kind soul I am, I got you a slide."
"Aww, thanks Ash."
"Yeah whatever." She said with a grin.
I reach for the slide when she suddenly grabs my hand. I gasped. Her hands were freezing cold.
"Jesus, what did you do to your nails?" She asked, lightly touching the tips of my fingers.
"Huh?" I looked down. "Oh. I bite them. But I think the better question is why are your hands so cold?"
"Why are your hands so hot?"
"Because I'm hot," I wink at her cheekily.
"Wow. Modest much?"
"Yes. Thank you."
Ashley laughed and let go of my hand. Strangely enough, I'm missing her cool touch on my skin.
"Hey babe, come do shots with me!" A very drunk Zach stumbled towards me.
"Zach I don't feel so great. I think I'm going to head home." I said, sick of Ego and my very drunk boyfriend.
"Do you want me to drive you home?" Zach said, concerned. Well at least he remembered his manners.
"No, I don't think that would be a good idea," I said giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm going to call Glen. See you tomorrow."
"Ok babe, bye."
Shivering on the sidewalk, I was waiting for Glen to pick me up when a car slowly slid to a stop in front of me.
"Well hey there. What's a pretty girl like you doing waiting here in the cold?" A very drunk man asked me as he climbed out of his car and walked closer. I frantically tried to remember the little information I had learned about self defense as a girl scout but the man grabbed my arm.
"Where's your boyfriend at? It isn't safe out here." Don't I know it.
His grip tightened on my arm as I let out a cry as tears instintively flooded my eyes.
"Be quiet and this won't hurt that bad." The disgusting man started dragging me into the car. I finally came to my senses and elbowed him in his stomach. As he gasped out in pain, I took the opportunity to kick him in the balls. My arm hit something hard in my pocket.
The drumstick!
"You're a feisty little bitch aren't you?" He spat, getting up with a grimace and grabbing me again. Oh no you don't. I whipped out the drumstick and hit him hard on the back of his head. His eyes rolled up and he went down.
"Take that you bastard! This feisty little bitch just kicked your ass!" I yelled, kicking him again, thanking God for saving me.
"Hey baby sis is that you?" Glen's shout rang through the air.
No Glen, it's Madonna.
Clay and Glen both came rushing out of the car and wrapped their arms around me as I breathed out a choked sigh of relief. Normally, I would have complained about them strangling me but I was shaking so much I didn't notice. And it was nice to feel safe again.
"It's going to be ok, Spence." Clay murmured, holding me.
"I'm going to rip that jackhole's head off." Glen muttered angrily, his hands turning white on the steering wheel.
"No Glen. It's not Zach's fault. He offered to drive me home but he was drunk so I refused. Really, I'm just fine." Glen mumbled something that I couldn't make out.
But I wasn't just fine. I was shaken, relieved, angry, and terrified all at once. The memory of the freak that attacked me would forever be in my head. And if it wasn't for that mysterious drumstick… I shuddered.
I can't even begin to imagine what would have happened.
A/N: How did you like Chapter 3 and Spencer's point of view?
Oh and I just saw Twilight yesterday. I guess it was pretty good but they left out some parts that were in the book. I hate the character Jacob Black. I don't know why. I have a huge ass crush on Taylor Lautner (guy who plays Jacob) though. He's so hot. But they make him look like a hippie with his weird wig. Anyway. In the movie, Edward was really awkward but it was so cute! And not to offend everyone who loves Jasper but I thought he kind of looked like a drug addict. But I guess he was a cute drug addict. All the guys in Twilight were really hot. Lol.
As for the girls...
My favorite character would have to be Alice. I guess it's cause she's really nice. And it would be cool to like be able to see the future and stuff. Anyway I found something interesting about the people who play Bella and Rosalie (Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed). In the magazine Vanity Fair, it had a picture of the Twilight cast and Nikki Reed was kissing Kristen. And if you see the behind the scenes on the photoshoot, they're all touchy-feely with each other and they do even kiss at one point. Actually, I find it kind of cute. Haha. But apparently they're just really good friends and it's perfectly normal or something like that. I wouldn't know because even though I'm straight, I don't go around kissing all my friends that are girls. Well whatever. I just found that kind of interesting. And if you haven't already seen Twilight, you should!
I know. I'm such a dork. Haha well sorry to waste three minutes of your life. If you even read this far.
Review please!
