Hickies, Razor Blades, and Sharpies
Chapter 8
Miley's POV
Did he just say Russo?
Lily's POV
That guy is so cute, I wonder if he's single. Wait, did he say Russo?
Teddy's POV
Huh, Russo? Darn it, there goes another one I can't have.
Ivy's POV
Oh no! Not another one Teddy can obsess over.
Random dude's POV
Why does everyone look so shocked around this room… oh well. I guess this is a great time for me to go back to sleep.
Narrator's POV
"Ok, so to get everyone comfortable I want you to tell a little bit about yourself to me, and I'll do the same to you."
"I'm Mason, I like to get wild." Then he started dancing before sitting back down.
"I'm Teddy, I like to sing."
"I'm Ivy, I like to… be me." Someone tapped the kid two rows in head of me to wake him up.
"Oh um, I'm Grady, I like to sleep."
"TJ, I like doing magic tricks."
"I'm Miley, I like to sing too." Teddy sent another cold stare to Miley, but she just rolled her eyes.
"I'm Lily, I like to skateboard and surf."
"I'm Steven, I love to surf too." He pounded Lily's fist.
"I'm Dean, I like to play pranks." Justin laughed at that.
"You sound kind of like my sister." Everyone still wanted to know if it was Alex or not.
"I'm Sarah, I like se… I mean exercise. Yeah, that's what I like."
"My name is also Sarah, and I like making the planet a better place."
"Hey I'm Nick, I like making music."
"Hi I'm Harper, I like crafting."
"What's up I'm Joanie, and I like sports."
"Hey I'm Spencer, I like dancing."
"I'm Nelly, I like reading."
"I'm Gigi, I like being better than everyone." Gigi was only the queen of the school after Rosie left. But now that Rosie was back she had to gain back that status. 'Gertrudge' someone coughed out and everyone started laughing.
"Well, ok. Again I am Justin Russo and I come from a family of five. Born and raised in New York working at a deli shop my family owned called the substation. I like to study and to work hard, because that's what get's you a head in life. And… I think that's it. Yep, okay so let's get to the lesson." Ivy raised her hand. "Yes, Ivy"
"How old are you?"
"I'm 20, going on 21 in November." Then he turned back to the board to write something else on it. All of a sudden Teddy started banging on her desk. "Do you need anything Teddy?"
"Are you single?" he put the chalk down and everyone looked up at him.
"That is not the type of question you ask your teacher, but if you guys need to know… Yes, I have no time for girlfriends." Then he picked back up the chalk. "Ok, no more questions."
Miley's PO V
"So Miles, what do you think of the substitute?" Lily bumped me. As cute as he was, he bored the hell out of me.
"Oh, he's cute"
"Yeah, I thought too." She leaned over more and whispered even softer. "Do you think he'll go for me?"
"No you're a student, he's a teacher." She pouted.
"I bet I can make him forget that."
"What about Demi?"
"I already told you." Dang it, she's still just as stubborn.
"Hey, I was wondering if he could be Alex's older brother."
"Well did she tell you she had any brothers or sisters?"
"No, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have any." Lily shrugged and went back to staring at Mr. Russo. Wait, this is my head and he's only 20. I'm calling him Justin in here since he can't hear me.
"Alright class, we have about three more minutes left. Any more questions you need to ask before you go?" my hand shot in the air so fast.
"Yes, um…"
"Miley"
"Well, yes Miley?"
"Do you have a sister named Alex Russo?" he nodded.
"Yes, but I haven't seen in two years. Why did you ask? Do you know her?"
"Uh yeah, she goes to school here." The bell rang and everyone walked out of the class, but Justin held me back. "Yes J… I mean Mr. Russo?"
"Can you please tell her Justin wants to see her?" I nodded. "And by the way you are her…?"
"Girlfriend." He nodded and smiled before shooing me off. I tried to call Alex, but her phone went straight to voicemail. After five more tries I just sent her a text. I can just see her reaction later.
Riiinnnnngggg
"Yay, lunch time" Sarah yelled when the bell rang. "Did you know that they put…?" everyone ran out of the class before she could finish her statement. I'm pretty sure that if she did finish it, I'd probably never eat school lunch again.
I walked in the cafeteria to find Alex balancing an empty milk carton on her head and Demi trying to hit it off with a rubber band. "Okay hold still." Alex nodded. And then she shot it off her head perfectly.
"Nice" Alex high fived her and so did a couple of other people. "Okay try again, five bucks says you can't do it."
"You're on" Demi smiled.
"I say ten she can." Dean said laying it in Alex's hand. She placed the carton on her head and closed her eyes shut. When the rubber band released from Demi's hand it hit Alex in the forehead.
"Oww, shit" she yelled rubbing her head.
"Aww you okay little baby?"
"Hey no pain, no gain. Now give up the cash." Demi gave her the five and Alex slid the cash in her pocket before taking a dollar back out and getting a brownie. "Hey, babe" she came up to me smiling and kissing my cheek. "Wanna piece?" I nodded and she broke off half and handed to me, dragging me to the table. I could see Rosie and her little crew making daggers at me. Dang, what I do to all of them?
"So did you get my message?" I asked sitting beside her.
"Nah, teacher took my phone. Grandma called right in the middle of the class to yell about my secret stash being all over the floor." She whispered the last part. But she was talking about her playboy magazines; I don't think there was a teen that didn't have something like that to hide. I just laughed. "Hey, did Lily like like that substitute teacher guy?" I nodded. Why did she want to know that? "Hey Demi, its go time" They both stood up.
"Where are you two going?" she just laughed at me.
"We're going to go and beat up that guy so he's no competition for Demi here."
"But Alex…"
"It'll only take a minute babe, just chill." And then they walked out of the cafeteria. At least she'll know now that her brother is here.
Alex's POV
I can't believe we're actually going to beat up some random substitute, so Demi can keep Lily's eyes off of him. "Are you ready?" she nodded and then I opened the door.
I think the wind was knocked out of me at that very second. It can't be him, he's still in college; right?
"Oh my gosh; Alex, Demi" he said coming towards us. I ran out of the room not even looking back. I could hear him calling after me.
Demi's POV
I hadn't seen Alex the rest of the day so as soon as school was over I drove to her house. Knock. Knock. "She's up stairs, won't let me in. Go ahead and try." Grandma said opening the door. I rushed upstairs and opened the door. I thought she said she couldn't get in.
"I unlocked it for you. I only want you in here." I sat beside her on the bed and rubbed her back.
"Maybe it's too soon to talk about it. We'll talk when you're ready, ok?" she nodded. "But could you do yourself favor?" she looked up at me. "Just talk to him and see what's going on with him and ask about that night."
"Demi, you know I can't…"
"Just try." She looked down. "But until then, get ready for your lucky night with your girl and my… whatever." She laughed and went to take a shower. I left to go get changed. I hope I've got the balls to tell Lily the truth.
Teddy's POV
My brother is such an ass. He says he's busy but all I see is him trying to fix himself up for nothing. "Ooh, got a hot date with your homework?"
"Whatever" he walked into the kitchen.
"Only 20 more minutes till your big sis can leave." I smiled talking to Charlie.
"Bye bye" she smiled back.
"Where are you going in 20 minutes?" Gabe said sitting down to watch TV.
"None of your business." Just then mom walked through the door carrying groceries. "Thank goodness you're home."
"Aww, it's good to feel wanted."
"Uh huh, yeah." I said running up the stairs to change clothes.
Miley's POV
"Hurry up Miley!" Alex yelled through the phone.
"I'm walking in right now." I said shutting the phone. I walked in to the dark club. The music was blasting and people were everywhere. I spotted Alex in her black skinnys, converse (she wears those a lot), a fitted grey short sleeved shirt and this half a heart necklace that she never seems to tell me about.
"Hey cutie" she said pulling me into her. I was wearing short shorts, brown boots, a brown spaghetti strap shirt and don't forget about the tons of accessories. "Oh, don't tell Lily that Demi's coming."
"Why is she coming?"
"To prove to Lily she's worth being her girlfriend."
"Ooh, that's gonna be a show." She nodded. I turned my head for a minute to look for a good place where we could dance when I felt eyes on me. I turned back and found Alex's gawking at my body. "Like what you see?" she shook out of it and looked at my face.
"Um, uh… let's dance." She said pulling me to the middle of the floor.
Teddy's POV
"You ready?" Ivy asked standing in jeans, a sparkly top, and a leather jacket.
"Yeah, let's go." I gripped her hand and led her to my car.
The drive there was all about who we were gonna meet and how much fun we were gonna have. Finally when we arrived we almost ran across the parking lot to quickly get in. that didn't really help me, seeing that I was wearing a short skirt. The club was so hot, but so cool at the same time. I can't imagine what's gonna happen tonight.
Grandma's POV
I heard a soft knock on my door. Who the hell is that interrupting me and my wrestling? I opened the door wide to find Justin standing there in just sweatpants. Wow, as wimpy as that kid use to look, he really grew out of that. "Hello grandma."
"Hello"
"I'm sorry, I was just…"
"Oh, just get inside and put a shirt on."
"Yes mam" he said pulling a big white one out of his pocket and putting it on.
"So what brings you to this side of the world?"
Demi's POV
"Ok, you are going to win your girl over tonight." I said sitting in my car by myself. What do I do? What do I do? My phone started vibrating.
Come on Dem, she's n here
I shut the phone closed and sat in the car a little longer before finally walking inside. This is it.
Lily's POV
Here I was on my date with PJ (yeah, the one that worked at that weird chicken place) dancing in his arms. He was really happy. I could literally feel just how happy, 'it' was poking me in the back. I was swaying into him. His hands on my hips are body's moving to the beat. If this felt so good, why did I feel like this? I don't feel happy, I feel like it's all just an act.
I wish Demi was…
=E Don't know why I keep leaving stuff off like that. It's like cliffhangers, but not really good ones. Just to make this clear. I DID NOT FORGET ABOUT HARPER, I PURPOSLLY CHOSE NOT TO ADD HER RIGHT NOW. That's it, bye. =E
P.S. how would you feel if I just quit on this story right now?
P.S.S. not like I'm going to.
