Chapter 2 At Home

Freddie's Pov

I looked up from my bed and at my clock. I stood up dreamly as I remembered what happened yesterday. I had met one of the most beautiful girls in school. She was a new kid, blonde with curls that perfectly fit on her face, and blue eyes that you could get lost in. Her personality was hard tempered, she obviously didn't want to make any friends. I grabbed my phone calling Carly.

'Hey Freddie what's up.' I heard her say on the other line.

"I want you to help me get with someone." There was a little silence.

'Finally got over your crush on me?'

"Ya." I did have a long lasting crush on Carly Shay but that was before I met Sam.

'Who's the lucky lady?' I gulped, I hadn't told anyone yet.

"Sam Puckett."

'OH MY GOSH! I tried hanging out with her but she's a tuff girl Freddie.'

"That's why I have a plan."

Sam's Pov

7:30 am

I made it to the school. I took off my helmet and jumped off my motorcycle. I was wearing a white shirt with my motorcycle black leather vest. My pants were black with two holes on the knees and chain hanging from my front pocket to my back pocket. I could feel the stares of kids who had seen what happened yesterday. My face still had a lot of bruises, but my scar still stood out as it went through my eyebrow down to my cheek. My shoes were black steel toes so I can dominate kids by height.

"Hey." I looked to my left to Frednub.

"Hi." I responded walking past him.

"Hey just wait up, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to bring one plus to the party."

"I don't have a one plus I'm just by myself." he let out a breath.

"Well okay I was wondering if you had any certain alcohol you wanted at the party." I didn't think there was going to be alcohol.

"Um, any beer is okay."

"We have Corona and Modelo is that okay."

"Sure." I walked to my locker covering my face. He still hadn't seen the left side of my face with the scar and the bruises.

"Do want me to walk you to Math."

"I know how to walk. I'm fine." I closed the locker speed walking away until he turned me around.

"What happened to your face?" I sighed, these students.

"I'm fine, I just got jumped, now leave me alone." I pushed him, making him fall on his butt.

"See you at the party, Fredork." He looked at me with a wide open jaw and I walked away.

School ended faster than expected as no one bothered me. I just had a few people stare at my face and that was it. I could feel my bruises hurt more and more throughout the day as my ribs were really starting to hurt. I walked out of the quiet hallways of Ridgeway high making my way to the exit doors when I heard laughter to my right. There were three guys wearing black jumpsuits with bandannas covering their faces.

"Hey princess nice to see you again, after yesterday." I put my hands up in a fighting stance with my feet moving swiftly on the ground.

"You picked the wrong person to mess with!" I yelled.

"Ya well trust me the bullies here in this school are a lot stronger than some new girl."

"This school is so cliche." they got in there fighting stances and there was a moment of silence.

"Go." one of them yelled. Two of them swiftly came to me, both kicking my sides as I blocked. I grabbed their legs, twisting them and pushing them to the lockers. With one fast crane kick I hit one of their faces and grabbed the other guy hitting his pressure points. He fell to the ground on his knees and I hit him in the last pressure point putting him into a deep sleep. Now in silence I stood in front of one more guy.

"You going to strike me first!" he yelled.

"You asked for it." I jumped to him , grabbing his hair and pushing him down to his knees hitting his pressure points. I got off him and took an orange out of my backpack throwing it on his back pressure point making him fall.

"BOOMBA I WIN!" I yelled running out of the school.

I walked inside my house walking to the fridge as I noticed a note.

'I'll be back by midnight do your homework and stay out of trouble I'm going out on a date!- mum' I read the note of anger threatening to spill out of my body. My mom was seeing someone. I hated that my parents divorced, I missed my dad, I missed my family. But going out with a guy that wasn't my dad just didn't feel right. I looked away from the fridge looking at my watch.

5:39 pm

The party starts in an hour. I looked at google maps and his house was a 15 minute drive. I ran upstairs to my room taking off my leather vest and white shirt putting a Nirvana shirt to replace it. I put some eyeliner on and my black belt. I looked at the mirror looking at my outfit and grabbed my leather gloves and leather black jacket. I curled my hair some more making my hair less frizzy and ran down stairs and took out a wine bottle from one of the cabinets from my mom. I opened it taking a drink and taking it with me as I grabbed my keys while walking outside. I looked in my wallet putting my fake ID in the front of my wallet just in case. I looked at my Pearpod grabbing my earphones connecting them. I put on Dead End Friends by Them Crooked Vultures and turned on my engine to the motorcycle. I rifted the engine three times and drove off. I could feel the wind blow my way as I drove past people. I could feel my veins fill with anger as I thought about my mum and dad. I grabbed the bottle and put it to my mouth as I drove to the house. I looked at the apartment walking inside and saw the doorman was none other than my neighbor Lewbert.

"NOOOOO GET OUT!" I passed him and went in the elevator. I finally made it to his apartment hearing faded music from the inside. This was it. I looked at the wine bottle I was holding as it was already empty. I knocked on the door and it opened showing a smiling Freddie.

"Hey you made it."

"Ya well I had nothing else to do." I answered, taking out my earphones and stuffing them in my pocket.

"Please come in Princess Puckett." he opened the door wider as I stepped in hearing the loud music, ``Feel Good Hit Of The Summer by Queens Of The Stone Age. I saw as there was one corner in the room where people were chanting chug, chug, chug as one person downed two shots. On the other corner was a bunch of people surrounding the bar. On the third corner was a guy trying to impress a bunch of girls and the fourth corner that had loner kids drinking water and talking or doing homework on their computer. But in the middle of the room everybody was dancing.

"Want something to drink?" he asked, taking my hand through the crowd and to the 'bar'.

"I'll just get some water. I have to drive back home and I already drank."

"Okay." he gave me water and leaned on the counter with me.

"So Puckett tell me about yourself."

"What's there to know about me?"

"Do you have any favorite hobbies, how did you end up here in Ridgeway?"

"I used to live in Texas but my mum got a job here and we moved, and I might know how to play the guitar. You know as a hobby." that came out of my mouth faster than it should have.

"I have a guitar that my mom gave me for my 12th birthday. You should show me a song."

"Well I-" I was cut off when he grabbed my hand again taking me into a room.

"This is your room."

"Yup." it was more nerdier than I pictured it. Not that I pictured how his room looked like or anything. He walked to his closet taking out a wooden Rosewood acoustic guitar with his initials engraved in it. He held it out to me. I grabbed it by putting the neck strap on.

I put my finger on the strings plucking at them as he watched me with amazement. I could feel the sound of the guitar go through the room. My fingers moved with the earth as I played it. People from the party came to the room, closing their eyes and listening to the music. I could feel my heart skip beats as I listened to the song. My father played this song for me before I slept every night. I felt like everything was perfect. I moved my fingers faster with the beat. Joy filled my body as I played. I didn't notice but people were recording with their phones. I moved my fingers doing the solo faster. It was like all of existence wasn't there anymore and I was alone there in my own world. I closed my eyes as I plucked the last string and there was silence in the room. I looked up and people cheered and clapped. I looked in the crowd where Freddie joined them and I even saw Carly Shay standing there smiling, and for the first time in my life I felt more at home then I ever had in my life as Freddie jumped hugging me and warmth filled my body.
