I was walking in the hall ways to get to my next class when I saw Reinella I gave her a smile "Hey Reinella how was New York?" "Perfect~ Oh my God, I am so happy. Ehehehe~" she laughed. So the answer was obvious, "I got the best birthday present in the whole entire world! Come over after school and I'll show you! Oh my God, it was beyond perfect." with that she skipped off down the hallway. I followed her with a smile across my face "Ok, I'm glad your birthday was great." I said we walked in the class room.
Reinella was picked up by coach by the back of her shirt," Now, Reinella. We don't skip into the classroom like we've lost our minds, now do we?" Reinella stuck out her tongue, "Aww, what happened to the fun coach that I have at practice?" he released her and she headed off to her seat. I lightly laughed, "So how is it being now the captain of the soft ball team?" I asked as I sat down in my seat.
"Awesome. Coach said he saw potential in me when I first stepped onto the field. Twink of it lie an early birthday present. I also got you something when I was down there. But it's at home." she said, pulling out her science notebook.
While doing so a new bracelet was seen on her wrist, "Like my new friendship bracelet? I still have yours, but I left it in New York so I wouldn't lose it. But when I was down there, Franny made me one for my birthday."
She pulled out her backpack and pulled out a bag, "She also made you and Lily one." she opened the bag and took out a purple and black threaded bracelet, "This one's yours. Take good care of it, ok? Stuff like this is difficult to sneak into the hospital when no visitors are allowed." Reinella said, grinning a bit.
Like Reinella's, it seemed to be threaded with care and delicacy because not a single piece was out of place. I was sincerely touched and a small smile escaped and came across my face "Oh it's beautiful, when you get the chance tell her thank you and that I'll cherish it for sure," I responded as I put the bracelet on the same wrist that had the friendship bracelet with the opals.
Reinella grinned, "I will." then came serious mode, "She's...not doing too well. I don't know if it's because of the chemo or her boyfriend, but she's just been so down lately that all she ever wants to do is just watch TV." Reinella frowned. "Oh I hope she's ok," I commented worry in my tone.
"I'm sure she'll be fine in a few weeks." Reinella said, smiling. The door opened and in walked Castiel, "You're on time for once, Castiel." coach commented not even having to look up from his laptop, "Well I decided to show up because this is the only fun class here." he walked up and stopped near Reinella, "You were right, Ms. Crumpton is an absolute witch." Reinella smirked, "I told you that she was worse this year." Castiel and Reinella getting along...? That was weird.
"She just asked me not to show my face in class ever again. What the hell is her problem this year?" he asked, rolling his eyes, "She probably got fed up with our attitudes. Well she got the attitude first, so I returned it back." Reinella said, rolling her eyes, "She should just retire already." Reinella snickered, "You're dumb. She's only in her mid-forties. She can't retire yet." Reinella explained.
I stayed silent as I looked away from Castiel worried that we would soon get in fight over nothing and that would mean in front of the class and hoping that he would ignore me for once. "Hey Bex," he said slyly to me, I made a face filled of annoyance I stayed put and totally ignored him. He then with the tips of his fingers touched my chin and moved my head to look at him "Hello I'm over here" he said playfully I eyed his hand then at him and shoved his hand away from my face and gave him a fake smile.
"Oh you were talking to me, sorry but I couldn't tell since you said Bex and that's not my name so if you want me to answer you next time get my name right" I said sarcastically. He shrugged as a smirk came across his face "Your name should describe what you are so Bex is cuter so it fit you perfectly well see you around Bex" he said as he went to his seat. I rolled my eyes not able to believe what he just said.
Reinella had a devious expression,"Ohohoho, sounds like somebody needs to get laid!" The whole class laughed at her remark while I covered my face only enough for Castiel to see he was about to say something but when he looked at me and saw the look I was giving which meant "Please don't continue if not for your sake then at least for mine" he stopped and totally set aside what he was about to say.
Coach had a bit of a smile, "Alright Reinella, all jokes aside. This is science not sexual education. Now, unless you want to teach the lesson-" before he could finish, she had already hopped up out of her seat, "You'll finally let me teach!?" The whole class went dead silent, "I was joking, but if you want too, I guess you can." She grinned, "Thanks coach!" With that she went up the front and sat in his seat, "I'll just be sitting here, watching you do all the work.
After class ended, Reinella was as energetic as ever. "Oh my God, I was so busy in New York that I used up the gift card you gave me. So, I have no money, but that's alright. Once I win Battle of Bands, I'll show Gil just how talented I am." She seemed excited, "I am so hyped for this afternoon that you probably won't be able to guess what I got!" Reinella was pretty bold throughout all the classes and was very excited during P.E. that she almost forgot to change back into her regular clothes.
On the way to her house, she got a call, "Hello? Oh my gosh, how are you? I bet you miss me more than I miss you. Amoris is awesome; you need to come down here sometime! Who am I with? I'm with Becky at the moment. Dude, you really need to come down here-" she took the phone from her ear; "He hung up? Man, I was getting to the good part too!"
Once she was at her house she opened the door. It seemed nobody even bothered to lock it. She took off her shoes and flung them into the far corner of the room. "Let's go upstairs." She said, running up the stairs. She was already on her bed with her laptop open, "Come here, Becky!" She said, motioning you to come and sit on the bed with her.
"When Skype finally loads up, I'm gonna introduce you to someone who's the exact opposite of me. You'll like him, I swear. He's a total sweetheart." When it finally loaded, she grinned, "Becky, I'd like you to meet Gilbert." Reinella moved her laptop around. The guy on the screen had medium spiky brown hair with side bangs that cover his left brow and big blue eyes. Looking at Reinella and back at the guy, the relationship between them must be family.
"Becky, I am pleased to announce that this guy right here is my twin brother, Gilbert Everans. He's my birthday present~" I astonished look came across my face "Whoa …" was all I could say this was great and amazing Reinella had the brother she's wanted and for her birthday I couldn't be any happier for her.
After conversing for a bit Reinella shut her laptop off, "So, what do you think of my little brother?" she said, with a smile, "He'll be here with Franny for Battle of the Bands even if I have to drag him along." she said, with a laugh, "What was with the paparazzi anyway? Well, funny story about them, I remember one time the limo broke down and they were flying overhead in their little jet, so I sent a S.O.S signal and when they dripped the ladder, I climbed up it and was all, "Time Square and hurry!" they had no idea how to even react." she said, thinking back to that time.
"He seems nice. Bet you'll like having your long lost brother support you in competition like that. And he'll be proud of his big sister once you win" I said smiling at her Reinella smiled, "Aww, thank you. Yeah, he will be proud of me. I don't even have a band yet. I need two people since Armin just bailed out on me last minute." she said, blowing her bangs out of her face. I frown a bit and then my face lightens up as I suggested "Oh … Maybe you can ask Lily she might know how to play an instrument. As for someone else do you know anyone who'd be willing to join you?"
Reinella frowned, "Nope. When I tried to ask Rosa, she was like,"Don't you even dare try to bring that topic up again. No means no." So I asked Kim and she was all, "Lil girl, ain't nobody got time for that." I asked everybody and then I Skyped Franny. She was willing to do it, but then she "accidentally" ripped the IV out of her arm. It wasn't a pretty sight. Trust me, I've seen it happen at least fifteen times and own time the fluid stuff got on me...ugh..." she said, wincing as she said it.
"So, I even asked Gilbert and he was like, "Nope. Not happening." That's what I get for trying to ask my family for help." She said, making a pfft noise, "Shoot, I will freaking get up on stage alone if I have too. I'm not joining anybody else's band." She said, looking at the flyer in her hands.
She crumpled it up and tossed it into the trash can. "I might as well go and drag her out of that hospital bed. She'll live." She said, getting to her feet and making a phone call,"Hey, it's me~ So, will I be alright if I come and get Franny? Uh huh, yep. Got'cha...yeah, goodbye pops~" she said hanging up her phone, "Man, Fran's dads accent thickened up as he spoke to me that I have no idea if that was a yes or no." She said, thinking about it.
My face soon became gloomy, "How about that Iris girl from softball you guys seem good enough friends?" Reinella's face paled over, "Iris is pretty much a prisoner to her family. She can't do anything on school nights or anything that requires going somewhere else. Like geez, I thought Franny's dad was strict, but Iris' parents won't let her do anything. Not even sleepover at a friend's house." I felt terrible for her she really wanted to compete but she needed someone else to compete with her, "Well that sucks, I feel terrible I wish I could do something about it" I put my chin on my hands as I sighed.
Reinella looked at her phone and put no her house shoes, "Well, that's settles it. I'm going to go to New York and I'm going to drag Franny's butt down here whether she's in the middle of chemo or not! I will see you tomorrow, Becky." With that, she was out the door.
The next day
She was serious when she said she'd bring Franny to Amoris. She showed up to school with her. Everyone just stared at them. Franny had on one of those surgical masks and still had her IV's with her.
Nathaniel had just stepped out of his office, "Reinella, what is Franny doing here?" Reinella rolled her eyes, "To compete with me!" The whole school and gathered to witness their little argument. I wasn't that willing to listen but I really had no choice but to go through them because they were the ones preventing me from going to my next class so I simply said "Excuse me …" I apparently got their attention doing so as I walked through them.
"I'm not going back to the hospital. There, argument settled everybody go to class now." Franny said, with a smile full of triumph, "Now, Mr. Student body president, I suggest you be a good boy and run along to stack some papers." Nathaniel muttered something before going back inside his office.
Reinella had arrived late to class and was about to get yelled at when she pulled Franny into the room. "Hello everyone~" almost every guy in the classroom stared at her, "Damn, Reinella's friend sure is hot." Reinella glared in their direction, "She's not up for relationships at the moment because...she's mine~" Reinella said, pulling her into a hug.
The teacher just stared at them in shock. In came Castiel, "What in the world?" he asked rubbing his eyes, "Why are there two of you?" he looked at the both of them, "This is joke, right?" Franny giggled, "You don't remember me?" she asked, pulling of her mask.
"What are you doing back here?" Reinella swatted Franny's hands, "Put that mask back on. Anyways, I went and got her for Battle of the Bands!" Castiel was stunned, "This must be a nightmare..." he said, slowly walking past them.
Reinella grinned, "Told you it'd work." she pulled Franny over to where she normally sat. She waved at me enthusiastically. Franny looked at her and over and at me before waving her hand as well. I gave her a smile Reinella and Franny could be considered as twins after all they both had blonde hair the only difference was that they eye color are different Franny has green eyes a beautiful to say the least.
Class was soon over and I headed to my next class as always there was barely anyone in the hallways as I went towards the stairs I just had to take one more step to get off the stair when Amber and her friends were blocking my was a sigh escaped me. "What do you want Amber?" I asked annoyed she looked like she was checking her manicure before saying "What I want is very simple. Back off Castiel you hear me, he's mine or else I'll" I rolled my eyes.
"Or else what, do you really think I'm afraid of you? I could care less what you do or what you think. So stop being a big brat and grow up because you achieving anything if you think standing in my way prove something you're so wrong. It just proves how childish you are," I told her she gasped at what I said "You did not just call me childish. Trust me when I say that if you come near Castiel you will pay," I looked at her as if to say seriously "Come on Amber stop it with the Castiel nonsense he doesn't even like you. You're just a thorn in his spine."
She looked angry at that moment "Shut it! He's MINE you hear!" she yelled. "Castiel isn't yours for once in your life open your eyes. You can't own a person he has every right to speak or hang out or date anyone he pleases whether it's you, me, or anyone else in this school. You can't make a guy like you," I said to her face about to push her out of my way when out of nowhere she let out a cry and came at me like a crazing woman.
My eyes widen as I went and dodged to my right against the railing. Everything seemed to slow down as she fell, her so called friends didn't even try to help her they instead left. She screamed I immediately took action as I grabbed her wrist and pulled her with all my strength and pushed her onto the stair case she sat there. A worried look displayed across my face as I asked "Are you alright?"
She was looking at the ground with a hand over her chest breathing heavily. She did the most unexpected thing she grabbed my foot and pulled on it causing me to fall. What surprised me most was that I didn't let out a scream like she did, instead I managed to turn my back facing the ground I was going to hit I closed my eyes preparing for the blow. Soon a pair of arms caught me I opened my eyes as I turned my head slowly to see who it was
"Castiel!?" I whispered harshly not being able to believe my eyes he was glaring up at Amber who was still where she was. I looked up to see her glaring at me, I then notice Castiel is still holding on to me. I waited a few seconds hoping either Amber would yell at Castiel to let me go or for Castiel to let me go. The one time I want her to speak she doesn't "Umm you can let go of me now Castiel," I said. Castiel seem to be ignoring me, "Hello! You're still holding me!" I said annoyed he then snapped out of it and then pulled me up.
The next thing that happen embarrasses to say it he then after I was standing up but his hands were still on me he then pulled me to put me on his shoulder like he did Reinella when I had found out his name and walked with me on his shoulder. I began to struggle, "Castiel what in the world are you doing!? Put me down!" I ordered him. I guess he couldn't take any more of my kicking and punching and began to carry me as many call it "Bridal style."
I immediately put my arms around his neck afraid that he'd drop me. He chuckled at the reaction "Shut up and put me down idiot," I yelled at my defense. "That's not going to happen," he said simply as he continued on to his destination. I began to pout as I mumbled "You can at least tell me where you're taking me." He answered "To the nurse where else?"
"What? No put me down now Castiel I'm perfectly fine," I said quickly. Too late we were inside the office I looked at him sternly and tried once more, "Castiel please put me down" I said desperate for him to put me down "What's going on here Becky?" oh no just what I needed. Nathaniel looked like he was going to kill Castiel. "Nathaniel its n-" "None of your business," Castiel interrupted me Nathaniel glared at him "I wasn't speaking to you Castiel" he said then turned to me but I was glaring up to Castiel as I spoke in a tone of "listen or else" "Put me down Castiel I can walk" then a woman came in. "Hello Miss she fell down the stairs," Castiel said quickly ignoring me.
"What are you ok?" asked Nathaniel as his face went from angry to worry in a snap of fingers. "I'm fine I would be much better if Castiel would put me down" I answered "There's nothing wrong in checking Castiel bring her this way" the woman answered.
Castiel was sent back to class and I was stuck in the nurse's office for 20 minutes. When I got out from the nurse's office I had to ask for a pass from Nathaniel. "Hey Nathaniel can you give me a pass so I can go to class?" I asked. He nodded "You have to go to 6th period since you missed 5th" I said annoyed "Oh great don't want to know how much work I have to catch up on because of something foolish as this" I said mainly to myself. I saw Nathaniel smile at what I said I suppose "It's nice to see someone around here who takes school seriously," he said.
I looked at him innocently "Mmm … well who ever said I didn't," I teased him. "Uh I was just saying…" he said nervously I smiled as I said "I'm just teasing you. Lighten up a bit working hard isn't everything my dad used to say to me" he smiled "Yeah you're right. Anyway what happened how did you fall?" I sighed I couldn't tell him that his sister had been the one who caused me to fall "It's something I prefer to forget." He then gave me the pass and offered to take me to class "Just in case you never know if you might fall" he said with a smile for once he was trying to crack a joke I smiled as I elbowed him saying while laughing a bit "Hey you never going to let that down are you?"
We finally made it to the lockers I was late for P.E by 20minutes I said my goodbyes to Nathaniel and left to lockers to change once I changed I walked to coach Boris gave my note he smiled and said "Hope you're feeling well you can join the others if you like" I smiled and heard my name being called "Becky! Get you booty over here, now!" she said, waving her hand for the bleachers with Franny, "So, I heard everything from Cas. Is it true that Amber pushed you down the stairs?"
Franny elbowed her in her side, "Don't be so rude." Reinella waved her off. I smiled as I shrugged "Sort of not really well no harm was done so why does it matter. And don't worry Franny I've actually gotten used to her ways." I responded. "Anyways, I'm not going to be participating in gym since it would be unfair to Franny-" she started to say.
"I can so, totally, play baseball!" Franny said, messing with her IV,"Yeah, yeah. Keep on telling yourself that, darling." she said, "So, how was the nurses office? I hope daddy didn't keep you in there for too long. Thought he was going back to New York, but Nah. He was all, "Your brother's coming in." he didn't tell me when, but he will be here whether I have to do what I did with her. Go to New York and bring him here." she said pulling out her phone.
"Anyways, I'll be over here if you need anything, now run along~" she said, moving her hand in a shooing way. I saluted her to tease her a bit "Sure thing Reinella," I walked to the field up to Lily to ask her what was going on when out of nowhere the speakers went off:
May Becky Valdez, Reinella Everans, and Lily Asherwood come to my office immediately!
Again I wasn't even here more than 10 minutes and now I have to go back to office. The principal sounded angry so I didn't fuss over it I walked across the field with Lily. "Let's go" her face emotionless. We met with Reinella at the principal's office.
Reinella was looking at the principal like she was some kind of beast, "Look, it's my fault for bringing Franny here when she's still on chemo." she said, "No, Ms. Duncan is always welcomed here. You two have a seat on the bench, since Ms. Reinella has taken the guest chair."
"So, what did I do? If you have a problem, talk to my daddy about it." she said, rolling her eyes," Ms. Reinella, if I recall correctly, your attitude got you in major trouble last year." Reinella looked ready to storm out of the office any moment now.
"Well, let's hurry this up, because I left my poor darling alone in the gym with a bunch of perverted people." she said, kicking her feet up onto the desk I nodded my head back in forth as I decided to lean against the wall instead of sitting and calmly asked seeing as the principal was probably going to yell at her again "What she means Mrs. Villa is why have you asked us to come here?" not wanting Reinella to get into trouble.
"What has happened is that the basketballs for the basket ball club have gone missing and an exchange student has misplaced his necklace…"
"Someone has seen you three of stealing the basketballs to play a prank on the club and witnessed you three stealing the necklace as well," she said angrily. So this is what Amber was planning on doing that brat is willing to do anything to get me out of the way or to make her point clear to me well I got a bone to pick with you Amber you won't get it your way that's for sure.
"Ms. Villa I can assure you we didn't do anything like that," Ms. Villa interrupted me "I don't want to hear any excuses from any of you." I looked over to Lily and saw her give a small angry very scary smile at that moment I couldn't help but not stay quiet about it "Does this person have proof of us doing such a thing or are you just going to take that persons word for it?" "There's proof Miss Valdez and I'm ashamed to say this but since Reinella and Lily know the rules of this school they will get expelled, while you will serve detention"
My eyes widen at it I couldn't let that happen to them, I saw Ms. Villa grab a form for Lily and Reinella to get expelled. I shut my eyes closed trying to think of something to do when out of nowhere I burst out saying "I did it!" the principal stopped filling out the form to look up to me I had a blank face now as she asked "What?" I stepped forward to block Lily and Reinella's view of my face knowing that they would also fall for it if they saw my face I said slowly and sincerely "I did it, it was all me. I took Dajan's necklace I hid all the basket balls. I did it all on my own don't blame these two for something I did." I heard Lily take a small sudden intake of breath.
"Well I can't believe it, but I'm glad you came clean Lily, Reinella you're dismissed while you young lady stay and get your punishment," clean I was admitting to something I didn't do but if she believed me and didn't punish the girls for it I was fine with it I looked towards the ground not letting them see my face as if I had done it.
Reinella huffed, "Shut up, Becky. I suggest you look around, you're being monitored by my daddy's secret body guards." Principle Villa looked around and around, "With attitude, young lady, you're bound to get-" The door to her office flew off its hinges, "Now hold on, don't you even dare think of expelling Reinella!" Dr. Everans stood in the doorway, "Principle Villa, do you have any proof at all that these young ladies took the balls? Especially my daughter?" He asked, looking ready to throw the needle in his hand,"Dr. Everans, there is no proof-" she was cut off, "Then I could say I could say that I took the balls." Principle Villa looked at him.
"Listen Dr. Everans your daughter is no longer in trouble there's no need to make a scene, I was just dismissing your daughter to go back to class. So I suggest you and your daughter go on about your business before the announcement," she said sternly. I wanted them to leave before they made matters worse I had already declared that I had done it and now the principal thinks I'm the only person to blame.
"Now go on," she said as she pushed Lily, Reinella, and Reinella's father out of her office. She was about to close the door when she called in Nathaniel. I looked at the ground struggling to not to look like I was lying about this the only thing that gave me away was my fists otherwise I did a pretty good impression of looking guilty. I didn't want Nathaniel to believe in this lie though I knew I really didn't have a choice.
I then looked ahead feeling his eyes on the back of my head he was standing behind me and I could feel it. I had a blank face as I looked at Ms. Villa walk around to her desk usually it came easily for me to lie but now I felt speechless. Was it because I knew that someone intentionally wanted Reinella, Lily hurt in some way, well if that's the case I won't let that happen, not as long as I still breathe.
"Miss Valdez I am surprised that you would do such a thing," she said. I shrugged as if it were nothing it was never difficult to lie and hide what I really thought. "I believe the rumors of you have been true… who'd knew you would be our-" what rumors? She had cut herself off as if she was about to say something that wasn't allowed to be said to a student. I wasn't willing to ask her what of the rumors.
"Ms. Villa you haven't decided on a (I lowered my head as I let a frown appear slowly on my face making it look even more like I had done it)… punishment yet," I gave a sigh I wanted to get this over with but I didn't want to disrespect. "Yes, you'll have detention for the rest of the week serve it in the mornings or afterschool your choice, and you'll clean graffiti after school (I pressed my lips together to prevent myself from saying anything to Ms. Villa) and return the basket balls and return the necklace to Dajan. You're lucky I'm giving you easy and simple tasks usually for this kind of felony you would get expelled."
"[What am I supposed to thank you for that you're the one who doesn't believe me, but believes a lie] yes ma'am," I said standing still, she looked at me angrily she responded, "You may leave, report to one of the members of the basket ball club to give them the basketballs," I speed walked out of there not looking at Nathaniel.
I left the office to encounter with Lily as I got out; I wasn't planning on saying anything seeing as the situation I was in "I do believe I owe a certain Girl a serious chat of sorts" she said her eyes hard and mouth pressed into a frown. I sighed as I simply said, "There's not much to talk about," I was turning away from her hoping that would end the discussion. I guess I was wrong "You and I have plenty to talk about and will do so. Right now I need to speak to amber" she walks away from me with very scary look on face.
I ran after her I continued to walk by her side and grabbed her shoulder as well I wasn't trying to stop her I was trying to get her attention, "What about? And why do you need to speak to Amber?" I questioned. "She's crossed the line. And it's in direct violation- of something" she sighed "look I need to go I'll see you later" she told me before walking away "See ya" I said as I went into the court yard and decided to look for the basketballs first. I found three and I went in the hallway and found one [Amber is definitely not good hiding things] and then in one of the class rooms I found one under one of the desks.
I then went inside the gymnasium and put the basketballs down as I bent down to put them down I heard behind me, "Well Miss Goodie-Goodie isn't as innocent as she makes others think she is," well you think with those words it would be Amber right… well I tell you this you're wrong I straighten out as I sighed "If you're here to mock Castiel (I turn around to see him in the face he was leaning against the wall) mock away. I really don't care go ahead give me your best shot," responded very bored like. His smirk is replaced by a frown and fake disappointment in his eyes, "Well I would, but you just took the fun out of it." He responded playfully.
"Sorry, but I have no time for your jokes or your sarcasm. If you don't mind I have to find someone who's in the basketball club so good bye" I said as I was about to stomp away. "No need to go too far you're speaking to one right now," he said his voice playful as ever. "You, you can't be serious," I said sounding like I was about to laugh at the beginning. "Does this surprise you?" he asked as he raised his eyebrow. "Sorry if I find it hard to believe I mean you don't struck out like the kind of guy that cares for what the principal says much less someone who would join a club and show up to it." I responded honestly with a grin on my face to show I was being serious about it.
"Well I guess we're all filled with surprises seeing as you did something like that," grinned at me. I frown came across my face as I begin to walk away from him as I said "Believe what you want, I'm out of here since I did what I have to do there's no reason for me to be here." My shoulder accidently bumped into him as I did so and I saw regret in his eyes but I totally ignored it as I walked out of there.
Everyone thinks I did it, even Castiel for crying out loud. There's definitely going to be a headline about me tomorrow that's for sure. I began to wonder where in the world would that necklace be I mean I didn't really take it, I have no idea where it could really be. I was walking by a classroom with the door open when I heard something that definitely caught my attention "Did you see the guy from the other basketball team? He's too cute!" it was Amber and she was talking to her friends, they're probably were talking about Dajan. I got against the wall for no particular reason really, "I don't know if we'll see him again, so I took a little souvenir while he was busy at practice," she continued that little weasel how come it doesn't surprise me she would be a thief. "Hahaha, I hid it in my locker, because the bell rang so I'll have to go back and hide it somewhere else as soon as class is over."
I slightly smiled but then realized that I'm left no other choice… I'll have to find a way to steal back what Amber stole. Not the best solution but what do I got to lose everyone already thinks I stole why not actually do it, but which is her locker. Who would know everyone's lockers? Nathaniel… but how will I be able to convince him to give that piece of information he probably doesn't trust me anymore. My thoughts questioned, but I then knew what I had to do.
I had to tell him the truth even if it hurts him. I then walked into the office and saw Nathaniel behind his desk as usual. When he saw me he face palmed his face and looked away from me showing anger towards me. I walked towards him but he tried to avoid me I grabbed him by the arm and made him turn around to look at me. He was about to pull away and probably scold me but I prevented him from trying, "Look I know you're probably upset with me but I really need a big favor," I told him my eyes pleading. I knew he was trying his best not to give in "I need you tell me which locker is Amber's."
"What? Why? Never mind that, no," he pulled his arm away as he responded confused at first and towards the end probably slapping himself for even considering it. I sighed "Fine you left me no choice Nathaniel," I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the student council room. "Ow what in the world are yo-" he began "I didn't do it," I interrupted. "What?" he asked confused, my arms folded across my chest as I leaned to one side, "You heard me, I didn't do it." "Then why did you sa-" I immediately interrupted, "That's beside the point I did let's leave it at that." He then put his hand on his chin as he paced a little, "What does this have anything to do with Amber? If you didn't do it then who did?" he questioned.
"It has everything to do with her… I hate to break this to you Nathaniel, but Amber did all this to get back at me for something stupid to tell you the truth." I said towards the end in a tone of a matter of fact. "No I don't believe you," he said I shrugged I didn't expect him to believe me, "That's why I need to know which is her locker to get Dajan's necklace back, but I can't do that if I don't know which ones her locker," I told him reasonably. His hand went through his hair as he sighed, "Fine I'll tell you, but I'll have to assist you," "Fine by me," I shrugged.
He walked towards one of the lockers and said "This is her locker." I smiled with gratitude "Thank you," as I felt he was going to look for the locker combination I had begun to hack in to the lock and had put the last number, "Got it," I opened it quickly and saw the necklace. "H-how , how did y-" I shrugged "Hey what can I say I've read too many crime novels for my own good who knew it would come in handy one day," that and the fact my father taught me how as well but I wasn't going to tell him that. I grabbed the necklace Nathaniel was smiling from what I said before when he saw the necklace in my hand his golden eyes widened.
"So she did do it," he said softly I nodded in silent agreement. "I'm sorry you had to find out this way," I commented; he then looked like he was struck with anger "We have to tell Principal Villa abo-" "I already tried telling her I didn't do it, she said that she "didn't want to hear any excuses" from us." I told him I sighed softly as I closed Amber's locker shut "Anyway I'm already punished so I'll just leave things as things are, (I took in a deep breath) and you should too." I said.
"But…" "No Nathaniel just please leave things be," I ordered before leaving to go straight to the gym to find the guy named Dajan. I knew he didn't want to, but I dared look back once and saw with his head down "Hey…" he looked up I threw him a smile, "Thanks for everything." I then ran to the gym. I looked around to find a guy playing basketball he was wearing a red jersey with the number 10 on it and white shorts. He seemed frustrated with the ball because he tried to shoot a basket but the ball hit the back board and went flying towards me.
I caught it in the air; he came running towards me saying, "I'm so sorry I didn't see you there… (He noticed that I had caught it) nice catch. How did you do that?" I leaned to one side as I threw it towards him he caught it and put it to his side. I shrugged as I answered "Well to the first thing you said don't worry about it, second thanks, third what can I say… I guess I just have good reflexes," he then smiled at me before saying "Hey I'm Dajan." my smile that was apparently on my face faded when I heard that.
His also disappeared and began to look at me puzzled, "Umm, so you're Dajan I guess you made it pretty easy to find you," I finally responded. "You were looking for me why?" he asked I then took out of my pocket a necklace "This belongs to you…" I held up to him handing it over as I waited for his reaction he looked at me then smiled as he grabbed it. "Thanks I've been looking for it all day I thought it was gone for good. Where did you find it?" he asked.
I was surprised I thought he knew the supposed truth I raised my head a little higher and said "Some girl had it." I told him basically the truth. He raised his eyebrow confused and laughed as he looked towards me; I soon added realizing what he was thinking as I sighed, "Not me. Don't flatter yourself I barely even know you and you don't even know my name yet." I said grabbing the ball from him dribbling a bit "So what is your name?" he asked trying to reach for the basketball.
I dodge and I began to spin the ball on my finger, "Nice try, I'm Becky." I responded smiling as I shot the ball into the basket and scored. He eyed me then he said, "Mmm well you could be in the basketball team that's for sure," I stopped smiling once more and shrugged "I'm not really into basketball," "Really it doesn't look like it, you look like you know what you're doing." He said as he picked up the ball. I shook my head as I gave him a look, "I said I wasn't into it, not that I couldn't play… well it was nice meeting you I have a lot of things I have to take care of," I said as I was about to leave he yelled after me "Ok sure maybe we can play one to one sometime."
I grinned and I walked away and went to the student council room. Well I have to say when I went in Nathaniel didn't react the way he did when he thought I was the one who did this. He gave me a warm smile I returned the smile and went towards the desk to ask how I'm serving detention if I have to clean graffiti at that moment the principal came out. "Oh, Miss Valdez you're just on time here is a bucket and other cleaning supplies, Nathaniel will be the one supervising you and he'll tell you where to go," I gave her a sly grin and went back to blank face.
I grabbed the bucket and the other cleaning supplies, and walked towards Nathaniel, "So where to…" I asked. "Right this way," he said walking out of the room we walked to the end of the hall way and there was whole bunch of graffiti on the walls that I hadn't noticed, "Whoa, she expects me to clean all this with just this bucket it's going to take an army of cleaning supplies to do this." "Don't worry I'll bring more, I'll be right back." He answered as he left I began to take off my white jacket since I didn't want to get it wet. I was basically wearing this: Blue Flowered Tunic, Blue Pants with White Belt, Jean High Tops my hair in a sloppy bun. [If you really want to know]
I went and put my jacket in my locker and came back to find the bucket filled with soapy water I then went to work my bangs get on my face. It been minutes later and then I hear, "Well look at that never thought I'd see you like this," I looked up since I was now on my knees scrubbing on the bottom of the wall that had some graffiti. I stood up to rewet the brush I using to clean the mess and tried to blow my bangs away from my face "What do you want Castiel?" I asked to him coldly.
He just shrugged, "Look I'm not here to tease you if that's what you think." "Then why are you here?" I retorted still trying to get the graffiti off the wall. "I'm here to say that I know that you didn't do it, I heard you tell that idiot of a student body president," my eyes widen as he said he smirked at my reaction. I continued to scrub hard, "So what you're going to go tell the whole world that I didn't do it. There not going to believe you," I finally decided to look him in the eye his smile didn't fade from his face. He pushed himself off the wall, "You really think I would go tell someone, like you said they won't believe me so what's the point (he shrugged as he shook his head as if to what a shame I thought you knew better)… Well see you around Bex."
I looked away seeing as he began to leave at that precise moment when I turn back to my work I heard Nathaniel, "Castiel you're late." I turn immediately to face them seeing them glaring at each other, "What do you mean by late?" I questioned and began to look from one to the other. Nathaniel spoke first, "Castiel got detention for skipping class, and detention for today is cleaning graffiti." I crossed my arms and raised my eyebrow as a sly grin came across my face, "Oh so I'm not the only one who's has gotten in trouble."
He shrugged as if he didn't care, "Shut up" he said to me not really meaning it though. Nathaniel pushed a brush and bucket in his hands, "Here get to work Castiel." Castiel looked like he was going to hit him when he dropped the bucket I immediately take action and grab him by the arm when I touched him his gaze moved from Nathaniel to my arm and then to me. A small smile came across my face, "Hey, come on let's not start something you regret later (I pulled towards the wall and picked up the bucket) instead help me with this." Nathaniel went and left for a second saying he'd come back.
"Fine," he mumbled and began to take off his jacket and tossed it to the side. I gave him one last glance I then begin to go to work when he put the bucket on the ground upside down to sit on it. I cleared my throat, "What?" he asked as he put his hands behind his head I looked at the wall and back to him "You're supposed to be helping." He shrugged, "I'm not into that kind of stuff," he simply told me I rolled my eyes at me he closed his eyes as he rested there. I let out a small groan and when I was about to throw the brush back into the bucket I saw a wet sponge.
I don't know what came over me I grabbed the soak sponge and next thing I know I throw it at Castiel and then immediately at like I have been cleaning the whole time. "What the heck!?" he screamed I begin to scrub the wall hard trying my best to hold in my laughter. "Why'd you do that for," he yelled getting up and walking towards me.
I looked at him in the eye a small grin came across my, "What are you talking about?" I asked innocently. "You know exactly what I'm talking about, don't go grinning like nothing happened you threw me this sponge," he accused a small gasp escaped my lip as I pointed towards me "You think I threw a sponge at you… I was just cleaning" my face filled with fake pain "I don't know what you're talking about" I continued. "Uh huh as if (he looked around as I continued to clean without looking at him) HA!" he poured a bucket of soapy water on me it wet half of me though.
I brushed off some water off my face, "Oh my gosh! (I looked at him now letting go the brush) You asked for it Castiel!" I yelled I picked up another soaked sponge and threw at him he dodged it "Ha missed!" he said turning to look at the sponge. I then picked up a bucket filled with soapy water and said "Oh really…" I dumped it on him and he was soaked. "I don't think so…" I said letting go of the bucket, he then shook like a dog to dry off a little than picked up a soaked sponge my eyes widen as he said "This is war Valdez!"
I soon grabbed another bucket, "Bring it Owens!" I yelled almost laughing he threw it at me and I threw the bucket of water on him soaking him while the hit my leg. I soon grabbed a spray bottle that was with the other cleaning supplies, and began to spray a smile upon both our faces "Hey! Stop it!" he yelled as he covered his face chuckling. It was if we were little kids he found another spray bottle and began to spray causing me to giggle since it tickled "Please Castiel stop! I … I ... can't… breathe" I said still laughing so hard.
"Never!" he responded still spraying me "What is going on!?" a voice sliced through the laughter. Also stopping the little war we were in Castiel and I froze as I looked over to Nathaniel. Nathaniel didn't look happy "Well…" he said "Umm… you see," Castiel began to rub his neck. "Nathaniel what happened is that…" "She threw a sponge at me," Castiel interrupted. "And he threw a bucket of water on me," "But then she threw one on me," I sighed "And I guess you can guess the rest."
He nodded "Seriously guys, you guys have to stop joking around" he went on. I looked at Castiel and so did he I gave him a sly smile and a smirk came across his face. I then nodded and so did him and then we attacked "Nathaniel I think you should loosen up a bit." I threw a sponge at him and Castiel sprayed him next thing we know we're all out on each other. Throwing water all over the place at the same time we managed to wash the wall.
I soon attacked both at the same time one with a sponge the other with a bucket filled of soapy water, "Woo! Yeah! I got both of you I win!" I yelled in victory throwing my fists in the air. Nathaniel and Castiel looked at each other, and then a sly smile appeared on their faces they went towards me as my smile disappeared I looked towards Nathaniel and asked "What in the world ar-" then got interrupted when Castiel grabbed me by the arms and then Nathaniel grabbed my legs laughter escaping me. Holding me and swaying me back and forth as I squealed, screaming "Put me down guys!"
Then they began to carry me towards the pool arena once we got there they swayed back and forth once more saying in unison, "One… Two…" "OH NO PLEASE DON'T!" I begged between laughter. "THREE!" they yelled throwing me in the pool. It then occurred to me an idea as I resurfaced being dragged back in I spit out water "Help! *cough* Help! I… Can't… Swim…" I said making it look like I was drowning.
Nathaniel and Castiel went into action not taking the time to think about it and dived in to save me. They both went under my arm and when we resurfaced they said "It's ok, you're ok just stay calm then." "You're the guys that are going to need help" I said putting my hands on their heads and dunking them into the water multiple times. In the end we got out of the water laughing like little kids I took in a deep breath "Well that was fun when it lasted. I can't believe you guys bought that I mean you both know I can swim."
I then looked behind me at them all soaked and wet just as I was and then remembered the graffiti on the wall we were supposed to be cleaning. "Oh my gosh the wall!" I practically screamed their smiles were gone when I said that "Oh man what are we going to do?" asked Nathaniel. "You guys go home. I'll take care of everything (Nathaniel and Castiel about to object but I lift my hand to stop them) no buts. It's not like you guys have extra clothes in your car and you guys are soaked to the bone if you don't dry out soon you'll get a cold or something." I answered.
I grabbed their hands and hauled them back to the school and pushed them out the door to the entrance of the Castiel hesitated but said "Are you sure about this?" he was getting awfully close. "Good bye, don't worry about it." I responded pushing him away and closing the door I then ran into the girls locker room and got my clothes I was going to after I took a swim not thinking I was going to be in a mess like this. I put on my panda t-shirt my mom bought me when she was in china and a pair of white skinny jeans with my wet black high tops which would dry eventually.
I then tied my hair into a loose messy bun and got to work on cleaning the floor it took an hour but I was done then I put the cleaning supplies away. I got my white jacket and put it on since I was getting cold; I then swung my bag on my shoulder and was about to head out when I heard something. "Becky what are you doing here so late?" I saw in the shadows … Ms. Crumpton. "Uh… I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you Ms. Crumpton it's just I got detention and I had to clean up some graffiti as my punishment. So I just finished right now… so I'm heading home." I said turning to go out the door. "That's an unusual punishment," she said honestly confused "Well the principal chose my punishment personally so I have no right to question it." I responded.
I almost covered my mouth not believing I had just said that "Well not even the principal has the right to do that… I'll have to speak to her tomorrow," I objected "You don't have to Ms. Crumpton." "Don't worry Becky I want to especially cause that can go under Cruel and Unusual punishment." She said I smiled at her honestly grateful "Thanks Ms. Crumpton," she responded with a kind smile "Do you need a ride home?" that was certainly came out of nowhere. "Uh… why do you ask?" I asked her, she sighed and responded "Because I don't see anyone out there waiting for you." I looked out the door and she was right obviously I said, "Uh… yeah I usually walk home." "If you want I can give you a ride" she offered with a kind smile I nodded and we walked towards her car. I told her my address strangely we lived nearby each other she lived on the second floor while I lived in the first floor.
I entered my home and took a warm shower to prevent from getting sick and prepared for bed. I layed there thinking of all the events I hoped tomorrow wouldn't be as crazy as this.
