Chapter 11: Back to School

Tony Pov

When I got to school this morning, I was surrounded by my old classmates. During the announcements, I was introduced, along with two other kids, to my senior class. I looked around, trying to find Sophie, but I couldn't see her. Then a girl walked out of the gym, but I didn't think too much of it. I just sat and listened to the announcements, smiling the entire time.

During first hour I was told to sit in the back next to this girl who completely ignored me. She had really cool hair though... anyway, after 4th hour when I was on my way to lunch, Britt stopped me. She was asking about what Italy was like and if I had a girlfriend and stuff like that. I didn't know why she was talking to me now when she ignored me I middle school...

When I finally got away, I got my food and looked to see where my friends were. I walked towards them and saw the girl with the cool hair. I walked towards her—I mean—them, I heard a guy call across the cafeteria to me. I turned and waved. When I turned again I felt something small bump into me. I thought it was a scrawny freshman but it was Cool Hair.

"Oh, sorry," she said and walked away. I sat next to Nick and watched her leave. I noticed how skinny she was.

"Who was that?" I asked him.

"No one, just some girl," he replied harshly.

"Really Nick? Come on, she really wanted to know why you're mad at her," Ryan said.

"Who?" I asked.

"She totally ignored us until today! She deserves to be ignored herself," Nick replied.

"Who?" I asked again.

"Just give her a chance, she hasn't been herself since freshman year!" Rachel interjected.

"WHO!" I yelled. They looked at me.

"Sophie," Sammy said. "Where's Sophie?" I asked. "You know that girl who bumped into you earlier?" I nodded. "That was her," Sammy said.

"Really, the girl who was wearing the pink outfit was Sophie? You guys are funny. The Sophie I know only wears jeans and t-shirts," I said.

"Well that isn't the Sophie you knew. She's changed a lot," Rachel said.

"Whatever, I know you guys are just messing with me. I'll see her tonight," I said as the bell rang. They shook their heads and walked to their lockers. I didn't know what was up with them. When I saw Sophie in the pictures, she was wearing t-shirts and jeans. I just went to my next class and thought nothing more about it.

After school I waited for Sophie. I thought she rode her bike so I waited at the racks. I looked around in case she was already out. Then I saw the hair. It was Sophie alright. She was walking with some guy and he had his arm around her. They got into what I guess was his car. I started walking over to it until I saw them kiss. It wasn't a harmless kiss on the cheek like she gave me when I left. This was a kiss you only see in movies. The guy had his hands all over her and she wasn't stopping him. I didn't feel like ruining it, as disgusting as it was, so I just walked home.

After my homework was done I went down stairs and into the kitchen. My mom and dad were smiling and drinking coffee with the Goodes, minus Sophie. Cammie looked up at me and smiled.

"Oh Tony, look how big you've gotten! How tall are you know?" She asked. I shrugged.

"About 6' 1"," I said. I stood there awkwardly.

"So how was your first day back?" Mom asked. I shrugged again.

"It was okay," I said.

"Did you see Sophie at all?" Cammie asked. I nodded.

"I think I did... Does she have a boyfriend?" I asked. I saw Zach roll his eyes.

"Yes she does. His name is Micheal, he graduated last year, he isn't going to college, and he has no job that we know of," Zach rattled off like he does it for a living. I looked at Cammie questionable.

"We don't really like him, but we let her date him anyway," she said. I nodded at their strange logic, but then I realized that was what my parents did.

"I understand," Mom said. I knew she was looking at me but I didn't care.

"So why don't you like Mikey?" I asked as I sat down at the table they were at.

"Well, he's nice to her, he gets her home on time, he's polite and a gentleman..." she said thinking.

"Okay that doesn't sound like reasons to not like him," I said.

"I know that's why I'm confused!" She said loudly.

"Okay I get it. He sounds too good to be true," Mom said. Cammie and Zach exchanged a look and both of them nodded.

"He seems so perfect that he has to have a secret. He acts so weird around us, like he's hiding something," Cammie said. I nodded. I was tempted to tell them about what I saw in his car but I didn't.

"Yeah, I guess I saw him today, he picked her up," I said, hoping I wasn't saying too much. But they didn't flip.

"Yup, he's been driving her to and from school since they started dating," Cammie said. I nodded.

"Does she have a license?"

"Yes she got it a little after her 16th birthday," Cammie said.

"What kind of car does she drive?" Dad asked excitedly. Cammie rolled her eyes but smiled along with the rest of us.

"It's the little blue one across the street," Zach said. We talked for a while and Cammie had just finished a story of this summer when Zach tried eating exotic food last summer and he ended up with his head in the river behind the restaurant. We all were laughing when I saw her. Sophie was walking up to her house. She was watching as and slightly smiling, well, until she looked at me. Then her face fell and she walked quickly into her house. I excused myself and walked to my room. I opened my door and I saw Sophie on her bed, asleep, well, she might have been sleeping. when we were younger she used to pretend to be asleep so she wouldn't get scolded for staying up late talking to me...

I soon fell asleep after dinner with the Goodes. I wanted to remember my dream from before, but I just couldn't. I couldn't wait until tomorrow.

So the next day, I knocked on the Goode's front door to walk Sophie to school.

"Good morning Tony," Cammie said.

"Morning Cammie, is Sophie still here?"" I asked. She nodded and let me in. She went upstairs and I heard her and Sophie talking. Eventually Sophie came down. I looked her up and down. She looked so different. She just looked at me impatiently. "Hey Sophie," I said.. I wanted to hug her but the evil look she was giving me stopped me.

"Are we going or what?" She asked.

"Going where?" She looked annoyed.

"School," she said.

"Oh, um I'd think you would want to go with Mikey," I said. She sighed.

"Well Mom said I should go with you so lets go," she said.

"Don't you want to eat first then I can wait," I said.

"I don't really eat breakfast anymore," she said.

"What? How can the girl who could eat more pancakes than me not want breakfast?" I said laughing. She just stated at me.

"That's exactly why I don't eat," she mumbled. I pretended like I didn't hear it and walked to the door.

"So do you want to walk or do you want me to drive you?" I asked.

"Drive, I want to see if you're as good of driver as me," she said with a small smile. I nodded and we walked to my truck and I headed for school. When we were parked, I looked at Sophie.

"Sophie?" I said. She looked at me with those big green eyes. "Why didn't you reply to my e-mails?" I asked. She gaped and stared at me in anger.

"I didn't reply to your e-mails? I didn't reply to your e-mails! I can't believe you would insult me like that! I-never mind," she said and got out of my car. I rolled my eyes and got out too.

"What are you talking about?" I asked as I followed her into school. She turned so fast her hair whipped across my face.

"I e-mail you so much, but you don't reply. Now you're saying I don't care to? That's so senseless!" She yelled and stormed off. A few kids looked between us. I put my head down and realized that I have to sit next to her in my first class. I put my backpack in my locker and walked to class.

I had plans to make this longer but I'm kind of tired and it seemed like a good place to stop.

I love hearing your comments, suggestions, and ideas so please review!
