Chapter: 8 Bruises and Old friends?
I was walking around the hallways this morning while I awaited Iris's or Bree and Rachael's arrival, who ever came first and man was I bored. When suddenly an all too familiar blonde and her two followers appeared. Oh gosh just when I thought I was finally avoiding her the past few days. "Hello newbie it's been a while, you know what?
"What?" I mumbled a little too dryly.
"It's also been a while since a last ate I kind of skipped breakfast and spent all my money yesterday, do you think I can borrow I few bucks?" she snickered at her attempt of 'being nice'
"Sorry Alison but I'm kind of broke" I lied. Like hell would I ever lend her money she probably wouldn't ever pay me back either.
"We know you have money you grapefruit, now hand it over!" she screeched.
This girl didn't just call me a grape fruit did she, because of my hair? I hope she does know that grapefruits are orange and not purple⦠sometimes I wonder how she's really Nathaniel's sister. Maybe they're distant cousins' very VERY distant cousins. "I left my wallet in my apartment" I nervously laughed as I pointed over my shoulder with my thumb.
The blonde smiled wickedly and snatched the bag from my side turning it upside down and spilling all my contents out. They dung around the pile of my belongings until they found my wallet. Amber opened it and took all the dollar bills from the pocket. Thank god there were only about 15 or 20 dollars in there. I never carried anything more than 50 to school for this exact reason and since I visited the coffee shop before getting here I seriously didn't have that much to fuss over but hey money was money right? "Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
"Who do you think you're talking to?!" she snapped my way and like dogs heeding their owner's command Li and Charlotte rushed from her side and shoved me against the lockers. The spontaneous action knocked the air out of me and I fell to the floor coughing desperately filling my lungs back with oxygen.
"Thanks newbie this will be enough for breakfast today, maybe you can treat me to lunch tomorrow?" she laughed again before dropping the wallet to the floor and walking off Li and Charlotte not too far behind.
Once I regained my breath I looked down the hall that they stalked off into. I stood up and brushed my dress off. I was wearing a small blue dress that tightened around my waist and fell loosely stopping at mid-thigh with light brown wedge heels and my hair a bit curled at the bottom.
I picked up my books, papers, empty wallet and stuffed it all into my bag again. There was a sharp pain lingering at the upper part of my back but I pushed that to the back of my mind. Sighing I turned the corner to continue my adventure of boredom and bumped into a short little boy with glasses. I tossed a sorry over my shoulder but when I heard him yell out my name dramatically I stopped in my tracks. "CLOUDNINEEEEE MY LOVE~"
Shit that voice could only belong to one person. I slowly turned around to look down at the boy with a brown mushroom cut hair style and a green sweater with one red line running across it. "Hey ken?" I slowly and awkwardly greeted him
"Cloud I couldn't believe it when they said you transferred schools. I just couldn't think of our love being severed by distance!" He exclaimed dramatically once again.
I rubbed my temple. "Well thank you for stopping by and greeting me it was very kind, now I think it's time for you to go." I smiled.
"No my little purple pumpkin I transferred now we can always be together" he grinned big with hearts in his eyes.
"That's very nice but I think- YOU WHAT!" I yelled startled "how could you just transfer like that I told you before we have nothing going on between us!"
"Oh stop denying your love for me my little grape flavored pie" he smiled " by the way have you joined I club yet?"
"Yeah basketball club" I sighed flipping hair out of my eyes.
"Basketball club?" his eyes started to water "I joined the gardening club thinking you were into flowers and stuff I wish I could change that now" tears started to stream down his face like a waterfall.
I flinched backwards "sooo how's the new school been treating you?" I asked inching towards the stair way door.
"It's been great everybody's been really nice except these three girls" he said the last part twiddling his thumbs. "They've been taking my money"
"Wait who?" I spoke taking interest back in the conversation.
"The main girl has blonde hair and acts really umm how do I put this mean?"
"Tch, I'm sure it's Amber you're speaking about. That girl gets on my nerves" sucked in my breath exhaled loudly.
"What's wrong have did they take your money too" he asked looking up to me.
"Yeah they have but that's not the problem you have to stand up to them you're a man" I looked over him again "you're a boy and they are girls just stick up for yourself"
"It's not that easy" he mumbled.
"Well whatever I have to go I'll see you around later" I smiled then started walking back to the main hall.
"GOODBYE MY VIOLET TULP!" he waved his hand over his head wildly. I twitched at the sound of his tremendously loud voice and what the heck is up with those nicknames?
I walked into the student council to find Nathaniel pining up papers on the bulletin board his face brightened up as soon as he caught a glimpse of me "Cloud!" he smiled and put his papers down "what brings you here?"
"Do you realize how you always greet me in the same way?" I asked grinning up at him
"I can't help it just the simple sight of you makes me smile" he laughed scratching his cheek.
I blushed deeply "oh, umm thank you" I turned my head to look out the window when I sudden pain shot up my back making me wince. "Oww what was that?"
"Are you okay?" Nathaniel immediately started to worry.
"I don't know my back really hurts" I frowned.
"Let me see" he pulled down the top of my dress enough to check it out. My face heated up. "Oh my god, Cloud what happened to you?"
"What happened what?" I said trying to get a better view of what he was so shocked about. I spotted a mirror in the office and went over to it looking at my reflection. What I saw freaked me out but I quickly recovered. There was a huge bruise planted at the middle part of my back. It was already blueish-black.
I looked back at him and then to the floor "oh you wouldn't believe me if I told you"
"Cloud you know I will always believe you no matter how crazy the situation is" he walked over to me sand placed a hand on my shoulder. "Please tell me"
I sighed "fine, but you asked" I gave him a last warning and he still wanted me to proceed "Amber, Li, and Charlotte stole my money slamming me against the lockers resulting in an injured and moneyless me" I looked up at him.
"Wow that is crazy" he agreed exhaling loudly and running a hand through his hair. He looked down at me and exhaled loudly you can tell he was trying to contain his anger "I'm so sorry Cloud. If you want I can pay you back and I'll talk to Amber about stopping this nonsense"
"no its fine" I said waving my hands in front of me "I don't want to take money from you I'll just be as low as her but if you can talking to her for me would really help" I smiled and the bell rang signaling the begging of school. "Well looks like I better get going"
"I am truly sorry Cloud if you need anything don't be afraid to ask and don't worry I'll talk to her for you" he smiled and opened the door for me. "Goodbye"
"Goodbye" I smiled and headed towards my first block.
