I looked at the door in the infirmary room. Kat stood at the edge, playing with her dark brown hair with the sides shaved, showing peach fuzz. Savannah, who came in later, was sitting on the edge of my bed with her legs crossed. My torso was bandaged along with my leg. I wince in pain as I try in move around. Savannah moves over but says, "Dude, don't move too much, okay?"
"I'm going to kill her."
"She didn't mean it."
"She's DEAD, Savannah!"
She tries to calm me down, but Kat says, "YOU can't get upset. You did call her 'bunny' one too many times."
"And you did want an adrenaline rush.", Savannah agrees.
"I thought that you girls would AGREE with me."
Savannah blows and says, "We ARE on your side, okay? Just give her another chance."
"Fine..."
The bell rang. Savannah grabs my backpack and throws it over her shoulder. "Need any help getting up?"
I nod a bit.
"Kat."
"On it."
Kat gets one side of me and helps me up and carries me out of the room. When we were leaving school, I see Naruko with the Titan idiots. WHAT? Why was she talking with them! It was bad that she kicked my ass...which was fun. She's TALKING with my enemies! I see Ross with his arm wrapped around her neck, laughing with her. Laughing! He never laughed with me...I don't even remember him showing any emotion when he was me. Probably since I was drunk when we had our fling...
A Year Ago:
I was opening my locker to get my bento box for lunch when a purple shadow was behind me. I scream and nearly hit him in the face, but luckily he ducked. He smirks and says, "Missed me."
"Yeah, well. You shouldn't have scared me."
"I apologize. Weren't you in an all-girl school in the beginning?"
"Yeah, I hated it..."
"Why?"
"I'm a..."
I stop at that word.
"You're what?"
"I just hate it there."
"Oh."
"Why do you have that hood on you?"
"I like it. Is there a problem?"
"Nope."
I smile. I like him. He's like...me.
Not very social. Very...me.
"Wanna hang after school?", I ask.
The boy looks at me as he removes his hoodie, revealing his darkish purple spiky hair. I look at him and blushed. He looks at me.
"What?"
"Um...I was asking you..."
"Oh, right. Sorry. Um, sure. I liked that."
"Okay."
We smile and blush at each other.
I shake my head and storm over there.
"What the hell! You take my friend! Where...UGH!"
"Calm down, Sierra.", says Naruko. "They're cool. Maybe we can all go shopping together."
"No WAY am I EVER going ANYWHERE with THEM! They're poison!"
"Maybe it's YOU that's the poisonous one...!", snaps Naruko.
She shakes her head and says, "I'm sorry..."
I shake my head angerly and storm over to Ross, who was whispering to Grace and Darcy.
"How could you do this to me, Ross! HOW? And you...DARCY! I'll kill you!"
I jump over to Darcy but Ross grabs me by the waist. He stares at his hands and looks at my face. Into my eyes. We blush and he removes his hands.
"Calm down, will you? Naruko's just being friends with us. Is that a crime?"
"Yeah...it is. I thought...I just...I don't even know! Ross. Did you even...li...never mind. Savannah, give me my bookbag."
"Are you sure?"
"I can carry it."
Savannah gives me my bookbag and I try to carry it, but I wince a bit. Savannah tries to help, but I put my hand up, indicating that I was fine, but was I?
Savannah leaves with Kat as they wave goodbye to me. I nod and smile. Naruko puts her hand on my shoulder. "I hope that we could still be friends..."
"I'll think about it."
I walk out of the school, but Ross grabs me by the arm.
"Ow."
"Sorry. Um...guys, go on without me, alright?"
They nod and leave with Naruko.
I look at him. "What?"
"Is it always going to be like this for us all of the time?"
"What the hell do you mean, Roth?"
"That. You being stuck-up and stubborn."
"I'm not-"
"Let me stop you there. Before you say anything. I know you're hurt, but think about it. I'm hurt too. YOU left me! You think I can recover from that? No, I hadn't. I'm still fucked up over it. That's why I'm so hostile towards you for a year. Look it. I apologize for that night, okay? Let me...just...fix us. Okay?"
I look at him in his eyes and look down at my feet. Blushing. "I'll think about it."
"Tell me. What happened?"
"I was drunk, I guess."
"I knew it. It was in your eyes. Your pretty eyes."
He puts his fingers under my chin and tickles me. I smile and hug him. "I missed you."
"Really?"
"Maybe...or I'm drunk again."
He chuckles and says, "Hope that you'll hang with us."
"Okay…but if your friends give any bullshit..."
"I'll make sure that they behave."
"We're...not getting back together, are we?"
"You don't want to?"
"It's just..."
Ross kisses my lips. I stare at him for a minute and say, "Ok...let's go."
