Chapter Four

The Next Day

"Ugh, Rocky I feel so played!"I exclaimed to her as I slammed down my books and sat down on the bench in the hallway.

"Cece, Ty's just a douche. You don't need him." I told me.

The thing is, I'm already going to my last class and Ty hasn't spoken to me, at all. He wont even look at me.

"I think maybe he's embarrassed to be seen with you? I mean, he IS two years older than you, and maybe your just a little girl to him?" Rocky questioned.

"But he told me he liked me yesterday and ugh its just gay."I said sadly..

Of course Rocky just HAD to be right because when I got out from tutoring after school, he was waiting for me outside in the hall. "Hey Cece." He said leaning back against the wall.

"Go away Ty." I said putting my bag over my shoulder and walking to the door.

"Cece wait, why are you mad?" Was he this stupid.

"Ty, you've ignored me the whole day. Are you really that embarrassed by me?"I stopped and looked at him.

–

"Cece I've got a reputation to up hold. You've got to understand that." I told her. She's only 13, and I've got to look good.

She just stared at me with her beautiful. Those eyes, I just cant look at because I can see the hurt in her eyes."Whatever Ty, were through. I'm so over this." She walked on and left the school.

I wasn't gonna let her go like how Deuce let Dina. I ran up to her and pulled onto her hand."Ty stop it!" She yelled and tried to get loose. I pulled her head towards mine and kissed her hard. She pulled apart and slapped me.

I put my hand on my cheek,"Uh, ow!"

She left immediately muttering "Asshole" under her breath. That didn't go so well.. I don't know how ill make it up to her.

–

It had been awhile since we had seen Deuce, since he didn't go to school yesterday. I haven't been able to stop thinking about him, because I liked him but also because I felt bad.. Cece told me she texted him and he didn't reply. Maybe if I text him? That's right, I'm a bad ass texting in class.

Rocky: Hey Deuce.?

Okay so he hasn't replied yet... Ping.

Deuce: hey rocky.. wats up.

Rocky: Nthing jst in skool, are you okay.? Wen are u coming bak to skool.?

Deuce: yeah im fine. Im going back tomorrow. Do u wana hang out when you get outta skool?

I smiled. Big. "Rocky is there anything you'd like to share with the class?"

"Nope." Awkward moment, I stopped smiling and slid my phone under my leg.

–

Rocky texted me back a little later. I was still pretty upset about Deena, but I was determined to move on. I couldn't just be upset forever when she wasn't going to come back for me. There was always going to be someone else I could be with but Deena was the perfect girl for me.

I was going to hang out with Rocky once she got out of school because I wanted someone to talk to. I knew she would make me feel better. She always did, out of everyone else, she was the one I could talk to. I mean Ty was a good friend and all, the best, but sometimes he just didn't understand this sort of stuff.

Rocky was going to meet me outside the apartments and we were going to talk.

–

As soon as the school bell rang, I didn't even wait for Cece to get out of class, I rushed home immediately because I was dying to see Deuce.

I got there and he was sitting on the stairs. His eyes were red and watery and his nose was red too. I could tell he had still been crying.. He stood up once he saw me. I hugged him. For a long time. I pulled my head away, I couldn't stand to see him so sad. "Deuce, don't be sad. There will be more girls."

He looked at me, his eyes like rain clouds. I don't know what got into me, but I kissed him.

He pulled away.
