More edits! I love editing! Haha, anyway hope you like this chapter.
If Matthew and Rodrick thought we would give them a warm welcome, then they thought warm. I glared at Rodrick and Amber looked at the two sloppily dressed teenager hoodlums in disgust.
" What are you doing here? This place is to civilized for Neanderthals such as yourselves," Amber said bitterly. The boys shrugged it off and started to pick at our food. I smacked Rodrick's hand away.
"We just came in to pick up some food before going," Matt said. Wait what? I'm confused. Matt saw the face I made and explained, " We aren't going back to school for the rest of the day," He said slowly.
" You're skipping?" I asked him.
" No shit Elmo, that's what he just said," Rodrick answered my question if the rudest way possible. I hated that nickname. I think it's time to go, but Amber asked another question.
" Where are you guys going?" I was for sure going to bang my head into the table. I don't think Amber understood how badly I wanted to get away from Rodrick
" We're going to a fair that's just a few miles away. Why don't you come with us?" Matt offered. Amber's face beamed with joy. What is going on here? A few seconds ago, Amber looked like she wanted to kill them. Now she's all gung ho about going with them. I got up to leave, but Rodrick sat down in my seat then pulled me onto his lap.
" Two lovely ladies like yourselves must want to do something fun?" Rodrick whispered the word fun into my ear. This is defiantly unacceptable! I shot up from Rodrick lap and headed towards the bathroom. When I opened the door, someone pushed me in from behind. I turned around to see that it was Amber.
I glared at her. " Have you gone mad? I could of hurt myself!" I yelled at my BFF. She yelled right back at me, and I was sure if you were a person walking by the bathroom door, you would think we were both crazy.
" Have you gone mad, Emma? We have the chance to skip school and doing something fun for once. School is boring at the end of the day, and besides teachers are too tired to check to see if you're even there," She whined and looked at me with puppy dog eyes after her rant. I wasn't going to give in this time to puppy dog eyes.
" My answer is 'no'. You can go with them, but I'm not going to miss school for some stupid fair." I started for the door, but she blocked my way. " Amber, move now," I ordered her. She stood her ground firmly then her facial expression softened.
" This isn't about skipping school, is it?" She asked.
" Yes it-" Amber cut me off.
" It's about Rodrick, right?" She read right through me. I sighed, ran my fingers through my hair, and looked towards the ground.
" Yeah. It's mostly him," I confessed. Amber came up and put her hands on my shoulders. I looked at her.
" Just pretend Rodrick is like someone else, for a few hours. Like you haven't even known him. Pretend he's the cute, mysterious, rebellious, jackass kid at out school that all the girls want." I tried to imagine Rodrick as that, but it only made me laugh. Only some of the girls want Rodrick. And usually they are the weird ones.
" Gross, but if it makes you happy then I'll go. Besides, I can't let my bestie go to a fair without me." Amber smiled, and we walked out of the bathroom. When we came back to our table, any food we hadn't finished eating before was gone now. I really wanted to finish my soup.
" Ok, we'll go with you guys," Amber said smiling.
" Great! Come on we're going to take my car," Matt said after the got up from the table and led Amber outside. I looked back at Rodrick, and he was right behind me. 'Pretend to like him just for a few hours' I told myself. We walked outside together, and then got into the car. Matt and Rodrick were up front, while Amber and I were in the back. Matthew started his car then went straight for the highway.
" So where is this place exactly?" I asked.
" Up in West Point," Rodrick replied.
"West Point?" Amber and I said at the same time. I looked at her hysterically. I think I need to lie down for a while.
" You said it was only a few miles from here," Amber practically screamed at him. I could see Matthew wince at her voice.
" A few could mean 70, sometimes," Matt tried to make it sound not so bad. I fell onto Amber's lap. This was going to be one long car ride. Amber thought it would be a good idea if we listened to some music instead of sitting in the car playing 'I Spy'. She unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned forward. She came up behind Matthew so fast, that she scared him.
" Can you please sit down?" He asked her. Amber showed her defiance by pressing through the radio stations until a familiar song came on. Amber turned around and looked at me with the most retarded smile she could every possibly have on her face as the beginning of " What Makes You Beautiful" starts to play. She sits back down in her seat and started to sing a long. After a few seconds, I started to sing along with her.
" Baby you light up my world like nobody else. They way that you flip you hair gets me overwhelmed. The way you smile at the ground, it ain't hard to tell. You don't know oh-oh. You don't know you're beautiful!" Surprisingly the boys joined in with us, and we all sand along in the car. Ok, so maybe this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Please leave a review and have a good day ;)
