Chap 4
When I woke up for school the next day, I didn't actually have to drag myself out of bed. I was slightly excited. I couldn't wait to see Embry again. I think, it was maybe, sort of, kinda, possible that I had a little, ity bity, crush on him. Just a small one.
I walked into the school, not bothering to wait by Kim's locker for her like I did everyday since the beginning of school. I didn't want to see her as much as I usually did. I felt sick just thinking about her hanging around with Paul and all those guys who made my life hell.
I went straight to the library, and I have to admit, it felt a little weird not stopping for Kim.
It was only when I reached first period, that I realized Paul wasn't in today. This meant no being pushed down in the halls, or having wads of paper flung towards me during lunch and even some classes.
I left my first class with a giant smile on my face, despite the glares that Kim and Jared were giving me. I knew she could tell I was mad at her since I wasn't at her locker, and I was glad she knew.
"Hey! Wait up! Look, I'm sorry okay Gabs? But, you have to understand! Jared isn't all that bad! In fact him and Sam are really doing some good!" She defended, sounding like she knew something I didn't.
"Okay." I said with a shrug, ignoring her as she huffed angrily at me and walked off in the other direction.
"Nice hair freak." A menacing voice said from behind me. I didn't bother looking behind me. The voice was soon next to me, walking beside me as I attempted to walk towards my next class, my head down. "I like your clothes, where'd you get them?" He asked again.
Jared was now slightly leaning over me, casting his huge shadow over my small body. I unconsciously smoothed out my giant grey sweatshirt and black skinny jeans.
"Jared knock it the hell off." A gruff voice called loudly walking up on my other side. I felt my face go pale as the people in the halls looked over at us.
"What are you going to do Call?" Jared asked, a small smirk forming on his lips.
"Tell Kim." I said smugly. I don't know what took over me, but I felt somewhat stronger with Embry on my side. And some how I just knew that Jared wouldn't want Kim to know he was picking on me, I mean, the way he looked at her, it was just…weird. Jared visually flushed, but tried to act indifferent.
"So? You think I'm scared of her?" He asked as if it was a great joke.
Instead of answering I pulled out my phone, speed dialing Kim's number. She picked up on the second ring.
"Hullo? Gabs? You okay?" She asked urgently.
"Kim?" I asked quietly, making my voice sound meek and scared, even slightly upset. "I-It's Jared." I said, acting like I was about to cry. Jared immediately took the phone out of my hands and pressed the off button.
"What the hell are you doing! Don't do that you little bitch!" I felt my cheeks blush and I looked down, completely embarrassed and frustrated. "You better hope she doesn't hate me or-"
"Or you'll what?" Embry said sternly, fixing his gaze on Jared who looked between both of us as if considering something.
"Shut the hell up Call!" Jared said, pushing Embry roughly into the wall. Embry quickly pushed himself off the wall, swinging a fist at Jared's face. It connected with his jaw and sent him staggering back slightly.
"Holy mother of fruit loops! Embry stop it you're going to get in trouble!" I whisper shouted at him with wide eyes. He just looked at me, shaking slightly.
"I have to go." I said through clenched teeth as he ran out of the building. At that moment the warning bell rang, signaling that we were meant to be in our next class.
Okay, so this is incredibly short, but tell me what you think! I'm a total review whore!
