Moose had promised Andie that his parents would pick her up and take her to school. He claimed that they'd been wanting to meet her for a while and this was the perfect opportunity. So the next morning she avoided breakfast by waiting on the front steps for Moose. She'd left Sarah a note saying that she had practice early that morning. She was actually surprised that Sarah had agree to let Andie continue to go to practice because she'd seen her bandaged hand and instantly demanded to know what happened.
Andie didn't have to tell her though that she'd been put in in-school suspension. The school had called just before she got home and Sarah was not pleased. She'd lectured Andie for forty five minutes about the dangers of fighting, especially the dangers of fighting a boy. Andie had tried to explain that she'd only hit him once but Sarah wasn't having it. So Andie had been grounded until the weekend, not that she cared. Chase was grounded just like her and he'd been grounded so bad that he wasn't supposed to call her or see her.
When a dark blue Mercedes pulled up in front of her house, Andie stood and brushed her pants off. Moose jumped out of the car and ran toward Andie. She back up slightly, he was coming a little to fast for her liking.
"Andie!"
Moose threw himself into her arms and the two of them tumbled back. Andie however, managed to keep them both standing. Moose's face was buried in her shoulder and his arms were wrapped tightly around her neck.
"Moose." Andie gasped, he was sorta choking her. "Can you loosen the grip?"
"Sorry."
His grip did loosen but he didn't let go of her. Andie smiled and rubbed his back gently.
"You know, I don't think Sophie would appreciate you being all up on me." She managed to keep a straight face as she said this. It took Moose a moment to fully comprehend what she'd said and he clicked his tongue at her.
"Shut up." He said.
Andie pulled Moose back slightly and looked over his face, the bridge of his nose was a dark blue but other than that he seemed okay. She smiled at him and Moose returned her smile.
"How's your hand?" He asked pulling her toward the car.
"It's okay." Andie said.
"Andie, tell me for real." Moose sighed. "How's your hand?"
"Hurts a little to move it and my fingers but I think I'll be okay." Andie muttered.
"See now was that hard?" Moose asked opening the backseat door of the car.
"Yes." Andie replied climbing into the car.
"Mom, Dad," Moose said climbing into the car. "This is Andie. Andie these are my parents."
"So you're the famous Andie?" His father asked pulling away from the curb.
"Robert talks about you all the time." His mother said smiling at her.
"I hope he said some good things about me." Andie said smirking at Moose.
"He constantly praises you." His mother said. "Andie this and Andie that and did you know that Andie can…."
"Mom!" Moose said.
"It's okay." Andie said. "Believe it or not I told Sarah a lot about you as well."
"See, Robert?" His mother asked. "Now all we have to do is meet this Sophie."
"Soon mom." Moose sighed. "You can meet her soon, I promise."
His mom nodded. Andie and Moose spent the rest of the ride trying to catch up on sleep. They laid with their heads touching and both drifted back and forth from being conscious to being sleep.
However when they pulled up to MSA they were both conscious. Groaning the two teenagers climbed out of the car and after saying bye to Moose's parents, headed into the school.
"Moose you're class if that way." Andie said as they passed the courtyard and Moose headed toward the stairs.
"Yea I know," Moose said. "But I'm going to walk you to class."
"Did you talk to Chase?" Andie asked.
"No." Moose stuttered. "Just wanna make sure you get to class okay."
"Yea well, I'm only going to one room." Andie said. "Room 234."
"You gonna be alright?" Moose asked.
"Yea, I'm the only one in here at the moment so I don't have to worry about anyone bothering me." Andie replied.
The bell rang and Andie smiled at Moose before heading into the detention room. The teacher sat at the desk reading a very thick book. He didn't even look up when Andie entered. So with a heavy sigh, Andie sat down at a desk and took out a notebook. She'd been trying to write this story for English since last night, but her mind kept wondering. She really wanted to know why Chase had chosen her. Why had he picked a street girl to date when there were so many girls at MSA that were much prettier than her?
Not only that, but her mind continued to wonder to her mom. She missed her so much. Andie really needed her mom right now, she needed her there to tell her to just be herself. Cause life is too short to try and be anyone else. Andie smiled sadly down at her paper. She'd told Chase that when she was little that had sounded so strange because how could she be anyone else? But now Andie understood, people didn't like who she was and she was slowly but surely trying to change so that they did. But she'd told her mom she wasn't going to be anyone but herself. She had promised her.
'If mom could see me now.' Andie thought shaking her head. 'She'd be disappointed.'
She'd be so disappointed in her daughter. Because Andie wasn't keeping her promise. She was trying to be someone else, someone that wasn't her. She was trying to fit in and be like the other girls.
'Do you really wanna be like Taylor?'
Of course she didn't. Yet, she was letting Taylor's words and actions get to her. She let that stupid website get to her. She let Taylor win.
'She won one fight. It's not over.'
Andie could still beat this. She could over come Taylor being evil to her and keep Chase as a boyfriend while making her mom proud.
'And then I'll just save a baby from a burning building while I'm at it.'
Shaking her head darkly Andie sighed. There was no way she could over come Taylor and still be able to keep Chase as a boyfriend. Taylor had been right, she was fat and that needed to change.
Andie nearly jumped out of her skin when her phone vibrated in her pocket. Glancing up at the teacher she saw he was still absorbed in his book. Taking out her phone Andie flipped it open and frowned at the text.
'You gotta check this out.' There was a link to a website at the bottom of the screen.
Knowing she shouldn't, Andie clicked the okay button and waited for her phone to download the image. Andie had just moved her finger to press the back button when the image popped up on her phone.
Another picture, but this time she wasn't the only one in it. It was her dancing with an old friend, Jason. Andie remembered that they had gone to school together until Jason got busted for having marijuana in his backpack. Andie didn't mind the picture, it was the caption under the picture that nearly reduced her to tears.
"Proof that street girls do put out easily."
Two red circles had been drawn to point out the fact that Jason's hands were gripping the tops of Andie's thighs and her hands were on top of his. Pushing back tears, Andie scrolled down to look at the comments.
'See man I told you, street girls give it up easy.'
'Dude she's hot!'
'Please tell me she goes to MSA.'
'If she do she's mine.'
'Naw man that's Chase's girl, ya'll might wanna leave that alone.'
'Man, fuck Collins. He ain't gonna do shit.'
Andie closed her phone and buried her face in the crook of her arm. The insults just kept coming and coming didn't they? Now what was she supposed to do? What if Chase saw that picture and thought that she was a slut?
'Chase wouldn't think that. Remember you told him you were a virgin. He should believe you.'
But what if he doesn't? What would she do if Chase dumped her? Sure she'd move on but seriously she'd never felt this way about another guy before. He was always there for her, what would she do when he wasn't? Moose had Sophie and couldn't be always with her or then Sophie would start to think that things were happening between them. And Andie really didn't want that.
Missy would be there for her. But some things were just too hard to talk about. Like this website, she hadn't told Missy about the website and she didn't plan to either. That was all they needed, Missy to get suspended on her first day because she beat the crap out of Taylor.
Andie didn't even notice the door open and it wasn't until books slammed down onto the desk next to her did she even look up. The person who'd slammed the books down was a guy. His long black hair was tied back in a ponytail and he wore all black clothing. He wasn't the cutest thing Andie had ever seen but he was alright to look at.
"You're that new girl aren't you?" His voice was deep and sorta booming. "The girl from the streets, Collins new girl."
"I've got a name you know." Andie said.
"Yea I know, you're name's Andie." He said. "I'm Adam."
"What's up?" She nodded her head to him.
"So, I was wondering what you're doing later tonight." Adam said.
Andie didn't think she'd heard him right at first. But then, when she realized that she had she could only stare at him.
"I'm sorry but didn't you just say that you knew I was Chase's girl?" She asked.
"Yea but hey he's suspended." Adam said.
"And what's that got to do with anything. Suspended or not I'm still his girl." Andie said.
"But I still figured since you're a street girl you'd let me get a piece of you."
Andie's phone hit the table with a loud bang, she spun in her seat to star at Adam. He did not just suggest that she was a slut did he? Andie raised her hand to hit Adam but her white bandaged hand, the nurse had said if she did too much or hit anyone else then her hand would break.
"How dare you?" Andie asked loudly. "Just because I'm from the streets, does not mean that I give it up easily."
Adam opened his mouth but the bell rang. Snatching up her bag Andie practically ran from the room. She couldn't believe it was lunch time already but she'd do anything to get away from him.
'Go talk to Blake, see if he can get you moved.'
Andie turned right and headed to Blake's office. She found his door to be shut but when she peeked in the window she saw that he was reading some papers. Knocking with her left hand, Andie could feel anger boiling in her all over. Just because she was a street girl didn't mean that she gave it up easily.
"Andie? What are you doing here?" Blake asked opening the door.
"I need to you to move me." She said simply.
"Uh, move you?" Blake asked confused. "Where?"
"Anywhere, just not in room 234." Andie replied.
"Why what happened?" Blake frowned. "Did someone say something to you?"
"Blake—er—Director Collins, can you just move me?" Andie asked tiredly.
"You'll have to take the desk in the office next to mine." Blake said pointing to a door on the other side of the room.
"Fine." Andie replied.
She moved past Blake and opened the door. It was just another office, plopping down in the chair behind the desk, Andie laid her head on the table and closed her eyes.
"So I take it you don't wanna talk about it?" Blake asked.
" No, not really." Andie replied flatly.
"Okay, but you should eat some lunch." Blake said.
"I'm not hungry."
She watched Blake leave from the corner of her eye. Then when she was sure he'd sat back at his desk, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Yes I know it's shorter than normal but I've so much homework! Geez, you'd think the teachers would lay off cause we've only got two more days but no, I think I've got a test in nearly every period tomorrow. But that's not the point, did you guys like it? I had a really hard time writing Andie's feelings and I don't know why. But anyway don't worry the next chapter will be longer.
A/N-The one line I really liked in the movie was: Just be yourself, cause life's too short to be anyone else.
Reviews keep my fingers typing!
