Adrian's POV
Monday morning came all too soon. This was going to be a long week. On the other hand I was about to receive a some kind of surprise on Friday. I could hardly wait for that.
When I got up Grandpa had already left. I pushed Gediminas into the bathroom and went downstairs to grab something for breakfast. The kitchen was clean as well as everything else around me. We did a good job yesterday. It was a warm though a little cloudy day. Perfect for a short ride whenever we finally get our means of transportation. I was getting impatient. I wanted to be done with school today as soon as possible. My beauty was going to be waiting for me at home when I got back.
My brother got out of the bathroom and I went in. We had plenty of time so I was in no hurry. I took a shower washing my hair with my favorite strawberry shampoo. This morning was perfect. I got out and went to my clothes neatly hanging in the wardrobe. I was glad I could put on anything I wanted. I chose black a little tight but comfortable Miu miu pants and a red Prada tank top which was like a second skin to me. I wanted to feel like being at home with friends today so I put on red Puma sneakers. I wasn't allowed to take my favorite schoolbag but the one I was taking wasn't bad either. It was black leather and designer made though there were no clearly visible brand marks on the outside (that is at least for humans as we could see them without a problem) and it wasn't officially released yet so nobody would know the model anyway.
Gediminas just shook his head a little while looking at me and mounted his bike. I followed him and we took off for school.
When we were in place, Angie was coming in as well so I made my way to her at once leaving my brother somewhere behind. I was in a perfect mood.
Mathematics' teacher must have remembered our encounter last week because she left us chatting and paid us no attention. We had a great time during an entire class. After that we walked separate ways. The next on my list was Physics. The lesson was fine. It was not something interesting but it didn't drag either. After it I learned that some people just don't take no for an answer.
"Hey newbie. Why didn't I see you at my party on Friday?" Mitchell was irritated. Did he really expect me to answer? Looks like yes because he was walking me to my next class.
"You were talking to me?" I pretended not to understand him as nobody had a right to call me any other way but Adrian (except for Gediminas, Grandpa and a few closest friends). I could get really touchy about this sometimes.
"Of course you." He was annoyed and it only amused me. "So, why didn't you come?"
"Because I didn't want to." Wasn't it obvious already?
"Are you stupid?" Now that annoyed me! "I personally invited you over. Nobody ever refuses that." Mister Importance was starting a scene. I decided to get rid of him.
"Then I will be the first one." It wasn't my fault he hung around with idiots and I was in front of the Arts studio. "Watch your step." I chuckled and made him trip. I was in the room before he even understood what had happened. The lesson was about to start.
The teacher gave us simple assignments and we started working. We were supposed to finish at home by the next lesson and I took my time. Rosalie was sitting in front of me but she didn't glance at me even once. I liked that. It was as if we were strangers which was exactly true. History wasn't more interesting either and finally I had lunch.
I grabbed a slice of pizza and took my place in front of Angie. We started talking. It was nice to have such a good and talkative friend. I felt happy. We were in the middle of our conversation when I felt somebody standing behind me. I didn't turn pretending I hadn't noticed her.
"Look who is sitting here!" She shouted. I didn't even know her name… "A hopeless loser and an about-to-be-a-loser. You are nobody here. You hear me? Nobody!" She was screaming at her full lungs. Everybody was watching. Angie was embarrassed for some unknown reason and looking down at her tray. I wasn't about to shout back. It was not a right way to effectively treat people like her so I continued telling my friend about my fishing trip in a quiet voice as if nothing had happened. I was waiting for the noisy girl to tell me why she was so angry. Right now it seemed like everything about me annoyed her. "I don't know why guys find you sexy. You are so plain and weak." Now I knew! She didn't like that I was apparently getting all attention from boys. Not that I had noticed that before. I guess I was too used to being around males. I was still sitting with my back to her, facing Angie whose face was now red. Everybody was waiting for my reaction and it was clear she was not going to just walk away and leave me alone. I made my decision that she was not expecting.
I stopped speaking. Slowly turned around to face her and waving my hand in front of my face asked her: "I'm sorry, you were saying something? Or was it just some fly humming?" My best innocent mask on with raised eyebrows and guiltless look in my eyes.
"Just stay away from Mitchell!" She shouted at me and fumed away back to her seat. People were still watching me waiting for my outburst. I just laughed lightly and turned to Angie.
She was shocked but I could see a little amusement playing around her lips. She liked the way I treated that girl but still… "That was Julia. Nobody treats her like that." Disbelief in her voice as well as her face.
"So? I am in a too good mood to let things like her ruin it." I shrugged and laughed again. The Julia girl didn't get her pleasure and now she was even angrier. We had only five minutes left till our next lesson and decided to go. When I was out of the lunchroom I saw Gediminas leaning to one of the nearby buildings and enjoying the light drizzle. He was not in a mood to talk so I walked on ignoring him and putting our conversation for some later time.
Gediminas' POV
Monday. The worst day of the week because it is only the beginning. As always I was woken up by Adrian's shouting and after a long shower I put on a white Pierre Cardin shirt with vertical light blue strips and a black also Pierre Cardin pair of still trousers. I still had to do my homework but with my speed it wasn't a problem. I got everything done and went to the garage to make sure there was enough room for our means of transportation when they arrive. I took our bikes outside and then my sister walked out. All her clothes were tight emphasizing all the lines of her body. Did she want even more attention than she was already getting from all the men at school? Including male teachers! Even her bag was leather and brand new. That was definitely going to attract unwelcome eyes. But Adrian was Adrian. She preferred comfort to everything else. I just shook my head looking at her and mounted my bike.
When we got to the school the parking lot was almost full. My sister went to her friend and I headed straight for History class not wanting any conversations. Jasper was inside. He wasn't sure whether he wanted to talk to me so I happily ignored him. The lesson was slow and boring but that's History for you.
The next on my list was drawing. I knew I was going to see Alice therefore I put on my Iriver player at full blast. The teacher eyed me a little annoyed but let it go. The pixie kept staring at me during an entire class. Finally the lesson ended and I left as quickly as I could without drawing any unnecessary attention. Honestly, was I expecting to escape that so easily? I was walking down the corridor when I heard.
'Gediminas' Alice shouted in her mind.
'Wait! Gediminas!' she was getting close. 'I just want to…' she began.
I cut her off because she was close enough to hear my whisper and I was getting impatient. "WHAT do you want?" I asked frustrated and annoyed.
"…talk." She finished sadly. No, I was not going to be friendly to her and I did know enough to have my own opinion about them.
"Then talk." I said dismissively.
"Why are you so angry with me?" incomprehension in her voice.
"You really don't know?" I couldn't believe I had heard that question coming from her.
"No." She shrugged. "I was your mother's best friend…"
"Exactly! That is you were pretending to be one." I was starting to loose my patience.
"I don't understand. I was always there for your mother. Maybe she didn't tell you, but…"
"She told me everything. Even more than she wanted." I interjected.
"… I even came back alone to her after her cliff diving and went with her to Italy." She finished. Was that supposed to make any impression on me?
"To save your own brother." Now I was truly annoyed! "That jerk is a player but real friends are for eternity. Least you claimed to be one." I said disgusted with my eyebrows raised. "You and Jasper of all people knew exactly the way my Mom felt. But no, she was just a toy for you. Whenever you got bored, you left. And who cares how she felt...? Eventually you hurt her in the worst way possible and didn't even dare to apologize. You, who claimed to be her best friend, in the end were her worst enemy." I burst out. I couldn't remember the last time I talked so angrily and emotionally. Pain was on Alice's face but nowhere close to the one my Mom had been through.
"Don't. Ever. Talk to your aunt so disrespectfully." Edward growled standing by his sister's side.
"And who are you to tell me how I should or shouldn't act?" I glared over him, turned around and walked away. I had a class to catch.
Luckily none of them got in my way during the rest of the day. I had classes only with Jasper and Emmett and the two of them knew better than to stand in my light. I spent lunchtime enjoying a light drizzle and calming myself down. My school day was about to end and I had to be in a decent state to go home and be with my sister and grandfather. Our means of transportation were being delivered today and this lightened my mood a bit. The bell rang too early and I was pulled from my daydreaming back into reality.
Adrian's POV
The rest of the school day was quiet. I did have to sit with it during my English literature but this time we both decided to stay silent to each other. When I saw my brother again, he was still in no mood to talk. After our lessons we rode home.
I was excited. Grandpa was waiting for us with our beauties.
"No riding before you get helmets." He was strict about our safety but I could see he just cared about us.
Gediminas opened his motorcycles saddlebag, took out his helmet, jacket and gloves, and put them on. He was ready to go. My brother mounted his wheels and left without saying a single word.
Grandpa and I just watched him leave with wide eyes. He looked at me and I shrugged. My brother was obviously having not the best day in his life. He will come back when he was ready. He knew he could trust me and that I would always listen to him and help any and all the way I could.
And I had my Honda Interceptor/ABS 2009 right in front of me. It was beautiful. It was white (something done especially for me by my friends). Its revolutionary VTEC combined the power characteristics of both two- and four-valve cylinder-head layouts for great low-rpm torque and plenty of high-rpm power. Triple-box-section twin-spar aluminum frame featured a tuned, pivotless design that isolated the engine-mounted swingarm from the frame and contributed to handling comfort. Its also unique Pro Arm rear suspension was light but extremely strong. It looked like the fastest and strongest beast. I loved it!
I rolled my darling into garage to slick it down. Grandpa was laughing at me but I just ignored him. I was ready to spend all the evening with my beauty. Late at night grandfather finally managed to make me go to sleep. I knew he was right so I made my way without whining a lot. I did have to whine a bit to show I didn't like the idea. It was almost midnight when I felt Gediminas going to his own bed to sleep. I was glad he was home and alright. With this thought I fell asleep.
Thank you for reading. Tell me what you liked and what you didn't.
