Hey guys it's been 2 years….uh I'm sorry I fell off the face of the of the earth!
…..
-Amber pov-
I woke up to my body aching as I sat up. Fuck. My back is killing me! I scrunched up my face as I moved my legs to the edge of the bed and sat up. I slowly lean forward as I sighed.
"Come on, Angel. Pull yourself together" I muttered as I used my bedpost to help myself stand up. I got in the shower to clean myself real quick and got dressed. I wore a thin strap black tank top, with a purple waist band, a tan skirt that fanned out just above my knees and black flats. I look myself in the mirror and I saw Mal's hand marks on my neck. I sighed as I got some cover up to hide the bruises.
…...Time Skip…..
"Hey, Amber!" Zoey greets as she walks over to me. I return her smile as we walk side by side.
"So I was thinking we could hang out after school and do our nails or hair?" She offers as she smiles at me.
"That sounds fun, Zoe. My blue bangs do need a touch up" I comment as I play with my bangs as I made a face.
"Great, after school we can go to Sally beauty store and then to my house" she said happily. I nodded in agreement as we discuss which brand of dye we like to use.
"Hello, ladies" Mike welcome us. Zoey rushes over to her boyfriend and hugs him. Mike crane his neck down and kisses her cheek making the redhead giggle. I quickly looked away as I brushed my bangs away from my face.
"Uh, I'ma go" I muttered as I went to class. Unknown to me, Mike was watching my retreating figure.
…..
I sigh as I sat in Math alone. I came to class 10 minutes early. I pulled out a sketch pad and doodled some random things here and there. I drew mainly broken hearts and a sad teddy bear. Eh, sad, right?
"Wow, depressing" came a country accent. I jump slightly in my seat; totally taken by surprise. I look behind me to see a fairly tall, slim boy with pale skin, orange hair and freckles all over his face.
"But you're teddy is missing something" he comment before taking my pencil out of my hand and drew on my bear. After a minute he pull away to reveal the change he made on my art work. He gave the teddy bear criss cross band-aids where the heart should be and on its left eye. I had to admit, it did make more of an emotional impact.
"Thanks, uh, what's your name?" I asked
"Scott, and what is your name?" he asked politely as he took an empty seat beside me.
"Amber. Nice to meet you Scott. And thanks for the idea." I thank him kindly.
"Hey, it's no problem it looked great already, I just needed an excuse to talk to you" he said coolly with a wink. I blink several times as I felt my face burn.
"O-oh?" I asked softly as I fiddle with my fingers. Scott just nod and gave me a charming smirk.
"Well, yeah. I think you're really cute. I was planning on chattin with ya sooner, but when got on the dance floor at Heather party. I got to admit I was kind of intimidated by you." he said with a light chuckle as he rub the back of his neck. I giggle nervously as well remembering that night. I look at my wrist to see Mike bracelet and my fading bruise marks.
"Well, I can assure you that I'm not intimidating whatsoever. I'm glad you finally talk to me, Scott" I inform the country boy. Scott scooted closer as he look me in my eyes with his grey orbs. They are actually quite beautiful .
"That's good to hear. Anyways I got one more question for ya" he stated.
"Shot" I said as I flip my bangs out of my hair. Scott looks at me seriously as he took his time to ask his question.
"Are you and Mike a thing?" he asked slowly. I look at Scott with confusion, but I finally put two and two together. I shook my head as I grin.
"Nope, he's with...Zoey" I said with a hint of disappointment, but Scott seem to missed it.
"Good to know" he comment.
-Mike POV-
I walk into my math class looking for Amber and I spot her with Scott. Amber was covering her mouth holding back a laugh and Scott was laughing alongside with her. Just seeing Scott in general makes my blood boil. This guy tried to break me and Zoey, blackmail me on my MPD a year ago and I'm not over it. Plus he also bullies Cam and is a complete ass hole! Seeing him with Amber makes my skin crawl. I was pull back from my thoughts when I heard Amber voice.
"No, Scott. You d-didn't" Amber laugh out. Scott cackle as he nodded.
"My older brother dare me to do it!" He defended himself.
"So you shaved your mother hair in her sleep and snatched her wig off in front of company! That's terrible!" She laughs harder. Amber lean forward and as she took a deep breath, but wind up snorting. Oh God. That was completely adorable. I felt a smile tug on my lips as I felt a hint of nostalgia. Angel use to snort when I made her laugh really hard. I just watch as Scott stop his laughing and look at an embarrassed Amber.
"Did you just snort? Can you get any cuter? I mean come on" Scott exclaimed as he tucked a strand of her hair behind. Amber cheeks went slightly pink as she bit her lower lip.
"Uh, t-thanks you, Scott" She said softly as she smiled kindly to him. Scott smirks as he drags his knuckles down her face gently in a caressing manner. I felt a ping of jealously as he did so. I march over to them and plaster a smile.
"Hey, Amber. Scott" I greeted Amber nicely as I look at Scott with a bored stare.
"Mike" Scott return the favor.
"Shouldn't you be in gym with your goons? Don't wanna be late...again. I hear Mr. Marsh in handing out detention slips at the door" I inform Scott with a scowl. It got quite as me and Scott stare each other down, but Scott roll in his eyes and looks at Amber.
"I'll talk to you later, Amber. Here's my number" Scott grab her left hand and scribble his number.
"Uh, ok sure. See you around Scott" Amber said softly as Scott got up and glared at me. I return the glare as he shoved me with his shoulder. I growl as I watch the jerk leave. I look back at Amber who look at me with her right brow arch.
"What was that?" she asked slightly annoyed. I heavied a heavy sigh as I sat next to her and placed my backpack down.
"Look, Scott isn't a good guy, trust me. I'm doing this so you won't get hurt" Amber rolled her brown eyes as she crossed her arms.
"I'm not a baby, Mike. I can handle myself." she scoff as she looks ahead. I open my mouth to say something, but my eyes caught something familiar. A purple beaded bracelet on Amber right wrist. Out of reaction on grabbed her wrist forcefully so I could get a better look.
"OW!" Amber cried out as I yanked her wrist back. Amber held her injured wrist with her left hand.
"What's your damage!?" she shouted at me. I tensed up as I put my hands up.
"I'm sorry! I'm so so so sorry, Amber" I apologized as I look at her with concern. My eyes shifted down to wrist and saw a light purple brisue. Did I do that? No, I didn't grip her that roughly. But who did?
"Ambe-" before I could finish the school bell went off and the math teacher came.
"Ok, students stop the chit chatting and get to work on page 124 and do problems 1-56. This is not a group work so no talking!" Ms. Goner order. The class groan, but did as told. My eyes shifted to Amber every now and then still wondering where she got that bracelet.
…
-Amber POV-
Classes breezed by quickly and now I'm at lunch with, Zoey, Gwen, Cameron and Mike. We all waited in the lunch line to get our food. Gwen and Cam were talking about how lame gym was and Mike and Zoey were being disgustingly affectionate in the lunch line. Flirting and kissing, bluh. Made my skin crawl. What made it worse was I right behind them.
"What's for lunch today?" Zoey asked as she and Mike hug.
"I don't know, but I hope it doesn't move...again" Gwen announced as she shiver in disgust. Mike turn to me with a worried smile.
"And also don't mention on how gross the food looks in front of Chef. He has a tendency to hold grudges." Mike informed me.
"I'll be sure not to" I said dully as we got our trays. They were either breaking, stain or smelled really weird. Gross. When the line moved up I saw my Uncle Hatchet slapping a ice-cream scooper full of green blob on my friends trays. I giggle softly to myself as I saw their faces turn sour.
"Thanks" they muttered. But when it was my turn Uncle Hatchet gave me a tiny smile and nod. He reached over to the left and grab a clean tray with food on it and handed to me. I look down at my tray and smile happily. I got mash potatoes, with baked chicken breast, corn on the cob, a bottle of cold water and four slices his famous chocolate brownies. I looked up at my Uncle and smile happily.
"Thanks!" My Uncle nodded and scoop up some more green blob and slapped it on a big guys tray.
"Uh, can I have what she has?" he asked. My Uncle glared at the blonde and gave him another scoop full of green blob, but it had mold on it. Grosssss. The big guy look down sadly as he walked out the line. I psst at him as he looked at me. I handed him a browni and the blondes eyes went wide and he pulled me into a hug and lift me up.
"Bless you!" he cried as he set me back down and took the brownie. I blink several times confused on what just happen, but I just smile and walked to the table with my friends. They were picking at the green blob is disgust.
"So gross" Gwen comment. They all look at me as I finally arrived and sat down. They all gasp when they saw my tray of food.
"H-how-what?" Cam stutter. I took a scoop full of mashed potatoes and hum happily as I ate it.
"Where's your green blob?" Mike asked shock.
"I didn't get it" I answer as I started eating my chicken breast.
"H-how come?" Zoey asked as she looked at my food with hunger. I look up at them with a shy smile.
"Chef is my Uncle" I answer.
After a moment of silences they all started asking me questions about how a cute sweet person like me is related to a mean scary man? I just laugh at it because it is a weird comparison. I told them he is my mother brother and I was his only niece so he spoiled me to no end! They seem satisfied with my answer and left is that. I cut two of the brownies in half so I could share them with my friends. Least to say they savoured every bite of the delicious brownie.
…..
Time went by and I am now in dance class. I switched out of my normal clothes and into my dancing clothes. Which was a purple loose fitting shirt, black leggings and black ballet shoes. I was doing some stretches with a girl name Izzy. She really hyperactive and was doing some crazy stretches. She wrap her legs behind her head! I just sticked with the basics.
"Ok, everyone get with your dance partner. Since you all are probably uncomfortable on who you got paired up with we are going to do a few ice breaker!" Heather announced. The class groan as I stood next to Mike. We haven't talked much since math. Heather grabbed Alejandro and Spanish music began to play. I felt my Spanish side spark in me as the music played (my father is Puerto Rican and my mother is African American.) Heather and Al were getting really close and personal. I blushed as they danced. Heather pressed her back against Al front as she slowly swayed her hips and he caressed her arms down to her spun around and hook her left leg around Al right hip and she dip herself down. Al had too much sure he supported her by holding her lower back. Heather snap back up on her feet, she and Ale joined hands and turn themselves at the time. Al let go of one of Heather hands as they spun, but he yanked her back with their single join hands and he dip her. She slowly stood back up and they did the basic salsa side steps as they pressed themselves close together as they made complete eye contact. Heather tip toe up and kissed Al lip gently making the class 'ohhhhh' as they clapped. Heather gave the class a confident smile and crossed her arms.
"Ok, easy enough do exactly what I did, but the kiss is an option" she said as she looked over to me and Mike.
"Ok, from the top" she order as everyone got in position and music began. I turn my back to Mike as he placed his hands on my hips and we began to do the dance with a bit of trouble. We were both stiff and nervous. I step on his foot a few times and we just felt completely awkward. Funny, when we were younger we were so in sync and never shy to dance with each other. Even if it was close and personal. Whenever someone messed up Heather cut the music and made everyone start over again. I and Mike were in position again when Al came up to us.
"There this too much space between you two." Al said as he shoved Mike and I closer. I felt his hot breath on my neck making me blush.
"Perfecto" he complimented and he walked back to Heather. The music started again and we started our dance routine.
"Hey, Amber?" Mike whispered in my ear sending a chill down my spine.
"Y-yes?" I asked. Mike traces his fingertips down my arms and to my hips which sent me into pure bliss.
"I'm sorry what I did in Math. I mean with the whole Scott and me pulling your wrist. It was uncalled for" Mike apologized as he dipped me. I smile softly as I snap back up.
"It's ok Mike, really. You were just looking out for me and I appreciate that. But you suddenly pulling my arm. What was that about?" I asked softly as we spun. Without even noticing me and Mike were getting our mojo back. We dance gracefully with one another as we chatted. I let go of one of Mike's hands and he tugged me back with our joined hands and I spun into his arms. I felt my body tingle when he tug me, because I felt his want and need for me. We were pressed close together as I wrap my arms around his neck while we did the side steps.
"I wanted to see the bracelet you had on" he whispered softly as our eyes made contact. I felt my breath get caught in my throat when I looked into his hazel eyes. I felt the world melt behind me as we talk softly among ourselves with our faces only inches apart.
"What bracelet?" I asked softly. Mike touched my right wrist softly to find it bare. His pupils dilated slightly in shock, but he just smirked and pressed our foreheads together in defeat.
"Nevermind" he muttered as we sway side to side. His eyes moved down to my lips as he bit his thin lower lip. His hands found my hips as he grip them softly pulling me closer; if it was possible. I lick my lips as I felt my love for Mike consuming me. I want him! I want to kiss him and call him mine! He's been there for me since the beginning and want him to the end. I place my hands on his cheeks as I tip toe to reach his lips as I closed my eyes.
"What a wonderful performance guys! Very convincing" Heather calls out as she claps loud enough to break mine and Mike trance. We pull away slightly to see the rest of the class sitting on the floor watching us as they clap along with Heather. There were some mutters and giggles among themselves.
"Maybe a little too convincing" A African American girl muttered to her dancing partner who chuckle. The girl is very busty and curvy and had hoop earrings on and she wore a yellow shirt with fruits on it. And her partner was an African American male with a white cap on and a green shirt with a D on it.
"Remember Mikey, you got a girlfriend!" Anne Maria called out with a smirk. Mike and I pulled away further from each other as we blushed.
'Oh gosh!' I thought. The school bell rang signaling the end of the day. Everyone got their stuff and left the class. I gather my belongings and was set out to leave, but a voice stop me. I turn to see Mike.
"Yes, M-Mike?" I asked the taller boy as he stop in front of me. He rub the back of his neck and laugh nervously.
"Uh, so are we cool?" he asked with a nervous smile. I giggle softly as I nodded.
"Yeah, we're cool" Mike smile and sighed in relief.
"Cool! Because I was wondering if you wanted to do something tonight? I really want to go to the movies, but Zoey and Cam are too busy and couldn't see with me. So I thought maybe you wanted to go w-with m-me?" he asked shyly as he stutter. I blushed as I felt my heart flutter.
"Sure! I love too!" I answer happily as I bit more lower lip. Mike perk up as he smile happily showing off his gap. His beautiful gap.
"Great! I'll pick you up at 7"
"Sounds good" I giggled at how happy he sounded.
"Do you want me to give you a lift home?" he offered. Mike is such a sweetheart!.
"That will be great. Thanks Mike, You're such a sweet guy" I complimented as he blushed softly.
"Do what I can" he comment as he led me to his car.
-Heather POV-
I looked at my lovely boyfriend as we watched Mike and Amber leave the class.
"Did you get the pictures?" I asked him. Al scroll through his phone and pulled up a few photos of Amber and Mike getting cozy with another while dancing together. I kissed Al lips softly.
"Perfecto~" I cooed softly.
