Waiting Wanting
Chapter 7
The entire school as all abuzz not just about the situation with Lizzette, but now that Katherine had dumped her boyfriend and William had dumped his girlfriend and the two of them were now together and the newest super couple. Normally Katherine would be amazingly proud of her status, but with everything that was happening with Lizzette she couldn't find it in herself to be joyful about where she was even though she now finally felt content to be with the guy she loved.
The new couple sat in the quad during break. Katherine was now in her favorite spot, in William's arms and everything was decently normal besides the fact that Lizzette was all the way in Vermont basically being held captive, but her jerk of a biological father. As Katherine sat with William kissing her neck she looked up and saw a familiar face and at once Katherine jumped up from where she was sitting and ran over to where she saw Joey Fields walking into the quad.
"What the hell are you doing here?" screamed Katherine as she reached him.
"Don't talk to me whore." Joey said as she walked around her, but Katherine wasn't having it. Katherine grabbed him by his jacket.
"Why are you here?" she growled as she couldn't understand why he was there. He after all had been arrested for raping her little sister and he was back at school like nothing happened.
"I made bail. I'm not going to be charged there is no evidence I did anything to Lizzette. Yeah we had sex, but I didn't make her do anything. She had been begging for it…it was nice, I wonder how you are." He said with a smirk as he ran a finger across Katherine's cheek.
"Get your dirty hands off her!" growled William who was now at Katherine's side. She felt as if she was going to burst into tears, but she held them in.
"Whatever. Change your mind girl, I'll be here." Joey said before walking away and up the stairs.
"I've got to go." Katherine said at once as she walked over to where she and her friends were sitting and she grabbed her bag.
"Where are you going, babe?" William asked.
"My dad's office." Katherine said at once as she quickly ran out the quad and outside to where she got the first cab she could get.
Stepping out of the elevator on the floor where her dad's office was Katherine was greeted by the employees who immediately knew who she was. She gave them all a small smile before weaving her way through the office until she reached her dad's secretary.
"Katherine, hi. You here to see your dad?" his secretary asked.
"Yeah is he busy?" Katherine asked.
"Not at all." His secretary said and at once Katherine was past her and opened the door to the office and walked inside. Chuck was sitting at his desk and he looked up to see Katherine who once she looked up burst into tears.
"Kat, what's wrong?" he asked as she jumped from his desk and made his way over to her and grabbed her into a hug.
"Joey is out of jail and he was at school. How could they just let him out like that?" Katherine asked as she tried to sniff back her tears.
"He's out?" Chuck asked now taken aback.
"Apparently he made bail." Katherine said as Chuck led her to a chair and sat her down.
"Let me call your mom." He said as he picked up the phone to call Kaelyn.

Getting out of the car Lizzette looked at the brick building that was in front of her. She couldn't believe that she was being forced to attend school in Vermont. There were students standing outside all talking and a few of them turned to look as she made her way up the stairs to make it to the building. She heard people whisper around her as she walked past them. Taking a deep breath she continued until she made it to the building and walked inside. The inside of the building was musky and dark, it was obvious that she school was a very old one.
"Miss. Martin you've arrived." Said a voice and Lizzette looked to see a woman who looked a lot like her great-grandma, but even more like her panties were in a bunch. The woman's lips were thin and pursed with her hair in an incredibly painfully tight looking bun. Her neckline of her shirt was so high Lizzette wondered if the woman felt suffocated.
"It's Bass not Martin." Lizzette then said to the woman.
"Well all your paperwork that has been signed by your father says Martin." The woman then said.
"But it's Bass, that's what my birth certificate says." Lizzette then said incredibly annoyed with the fact that the woman refused to use her correct name.
"Well until I get paperwork instructing otherwise you will be known here at Pemberton Academy as Lizzette Martin." The woman said to Lizzette. "I'm Headmistress Lawson and that is how you will always address me. When being spoken to by your instructors you will address them as Ma'am and sir."
"Okay…I mean yes ma'am." Lizzette said with a gulp.
"Now here is your schedule. Your first class will be in room 306. Third floor. The bell should ring in 2 minutes and that is when you should be in your seat in your classroom." Headmistress Lawson said to Lizzette.
"Yes ma'am." Lizzette responded.
By the time school was over Lizzette was itching to get out of that place. She couldn't wait until everything was over and she could go back to Constance where she felt at home and wasn't afraid to make a move. Damien had sent a car to pick her up and when she got home he wasn't there. There was a note on the table that said he was gone on a shoot and he wouldn't be back until the next day and that dinner was taken care of in the refrigerator. Lizzette felt a lot better knowing that she didn't have to deal with him for a night. Changing out of her horrible uniform she grabbed her jacket and ventured outside. She kicked at the snow as she walked. Walking in a normal pace it only took her about ten minutes to reach the cabin where Bryan and his dad Raul the groundskeeper lived. This time Lizzette knew to knock, but there was no answer. She shrugged and started back towards the house. She then heard the noise of a motor and saw Bryan on his vespa coming her way.
"Hey there Lizzie-girl." He said as she stopped in front of her. "What'cha up to?"
"I walked out to your cabin to see you." Lizzette said with a bright smile.
"I hung out for a little bit after school." Bryan answerd.
"With your girlfriend, I'm guessing." Lizzette said.
"No girlfriend here." Bryan said with his perfect smile. "I've never asked you, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No boyfriend here." Lizzette said truthfully though she knew there was something between her and Dominic they weren't exactly dating.
"I would expect you to have a boyfriend back in New York…interesting." Bryan said.
"Interesting, what was that about?" Lizzette asked.
"Oh nothing." Bryan answered with a smirk, but then his facial expression changed quickly. "So some friends of mine and myself are catching a movie tonight, why don't you come?"
"I dunno…" Lizzette started.
"Come on, I know your dad is out of town and I promise not to keep you out late." Bryan said as he looked at her with longing puppy dog eyes.
"Goodness you have that down better than my sister." Lizzette laughed. "Sure I'll go."
"Alright sounds like a date I will pick you up at about 6:30 and we will meet my friends there." Bryan said.
"Alright a date it is." Lizzette said happily back.
"Need a ride back to the house?" Bryan asked.
"Nope, I think I'll walk." She said. "See you tonight." She said before turning and starting to walk away. As she walked she couldn't help, but smile. She was actually going on a date. Then for a moment she got scared, she was going to be going with a guy she barely knew and she didn't know what his motives were. Suddenly she felt like she couldn't breathe as so many scenarios went through her mind and she started to freak out. Sitting down on a rock she closed her eyes and caught her breath. She knew she couldn't live her life in fear and be afraid of dating just because of what guy did to her. After collecting herself she made her way back to the house.
Standing in front of the mirror Lizzette examined her outfit. She was incredibly upset that her best clothes were back in New York since she didn't expect to be in Vermont for that long. Putting on her coat she walked out of her room and made her way into the living room. Looking at the clock she realized that it was exactly 6:30 and just then the doorbell rang. Walking to the door she was greeted by Bryan who stood at the door with a big smile on his face.
"So you ready?" he asked.
"Of course." She said happily as she walked out of the door closing it behind her. She and Bryan walked next to one another towards his vespa when suddenly Lizzette felt the ground come from under her as she slipped on a patch of ice. "Ouch." She said and Bryan was on the ground at her side at once helping her up.
"Are you alright?" Bryan asked at once as he helped her off the ground.
"Yeah, I'm good." Lizzette said as she rubbed her butt. "Thanks." She said with a smile. Bryan kept his arm around her waist as they made their way to the vespa. When Bryan got on Lizzette got on behind him and Bryan handed her a helmet. Both of them put on their helmets and Lizzette held on tight to Bryan as they started down the road to leave the property. When off the property they then started up the street towards the town.
Lizzette had only seen the town once and it was during the day. At night it was still nothing special. It was like the little town that her parents owned a house in upstate New York. Though tonight there were a few teenagers walking up and down the streets. Lizzette spotted the movie theater as they got close to it. Bryan pulled around to the side and they stopped there. Lizzette got off the back and handed Bryan her helmet. He then chained his vespa to a pole before they started their way to the front of the theater.
"Yo B." yelled a male voice. Lizzette spotted two guys walking towards then and one with a girl holding his hand. The one with the girl was African-American and so was his girlfriend. The other guy was white and with long hair worn in a ponytail.
"You're late." The African-American guy said.
"I had to pick up the lady friend first." Bryan said as he pulled Lizzette close to him by the waist. Lizzette couldn't help, but smile. "Lizzette these are my friends. Frank." He first pointed to the white guy. "Marcus and his girlfriend Alicia." He then pointed to the African-American guy and his girlfriend.
"Nice to meet you guys. I'm Lizzette." Lizzette said introducing herself.
"You the new Martin girl who goes to Pemberton. I work at Fruit Swirl Smoothies were a lot of the Pemberton girls hang out after school and I heard them talking about you." Marcus said.
"Hey we better get going to catch that movie." Bryan then quickly said. Lizzette gave him a small smile as she realized he was trying to keep her from feeling two awkward with his friends.
"Oh yeah it starts in a couple minutes." Alicia said.
Bryan kept his arm around Lizzette's waist as they wall went to get their tickets. Once inside Lizzette stood off to the side as the guys went to the concession stand. Alicia walked over to where Lizzette was standing.
"You're in my math class." Alicia said.
"You go to Pemberton?" Lizzette asked looking at Alicia.
"Yeah, I'm there on a scholarship." Alicia answered just as the boys were walking back with popcorn.
"We better hurry the movie will be starting soon." Bryan said.
During the movie Lizzette sat with Bryan's arm around her. The movie was a typical guys action/adventure movie, but it did have a love story that at the really romantic parts Bryan would hold her tighter. When the movie was over they all went to the diner up the street for about an hour before Bryan brought Lizzette back home. Standing outside Lizzette gave Bryan a hug.
"Thanks so much. It was a lot of fun, the most fun I've had since living in Vermont." Lizzette said happily as she kept her arms around his neck. She smiled up at him.
"I'm glad. You're…you are just amazing…and well beautiful." Bryan said as he ran a hand through her hair. Lizzette simply smiled as Bryan's face moved towards hers. As their lips touched she could only describe the feeling as an electric current that traveled from her lips throughout her body. Bryan pulled her closer by her waist as he deepened the kiss. Lizzette held him closer by her arms around his neck. They pulled apart and then Bryan placed a quick kiss on her lips.
"I better get in, school in the morning." Lizzette said out of breath with a smile as Bryan took her hands into his.
"How about I give you a ride to school. I'll be here at 7:30." Bryan said before moving in for another kiss.
"Sounds good." Lizzette whispered against his lips.
Bryan kissed her passionately one more time. "Alright Lizzie-girl. See you in the morning and sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite." He said with a smile.
"Goodnight." Lizzette said with a smile before she quickly kissed him and turned to open the door, but Bryan grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into a deep kiss before he gave her a smile and walked to his vespa. He rode away and Lizzette watched with a smile on her face. He was amazing, hot, and so nice with a real personality and real head on his shoulders unlike the guys she knew form back in New York, but then there was Dominic and how she felt about him. As she closed the door she growled to herself because now she was confused. Bryan was amazing and so was Dominic. Both of the guys had something amazing about them, but she found herself gravitating how Bryan made her feel. The way she felt about him was completely different from how she felt around Dominic.
"Time will tell." She whispered to herself before walking down the hall to go to her bedroom in the large empty house.
