Chapter 7
"Hey Gabby, you allowed out tonight?" Mary asked Monday during lunch.
"Not for two weeks. But I do have to work. You can stop by the Crashdown." I said to Mary but looking at Dan.
"I still can't believe you were a drag racer. I mean were you, like, ever afraid before?" Mary asked.
"Every time." I said tossing the bouncy ball back and forth between me and Sammie.
"Gabby I dare you to throw that at some random table." Lily said with a mischievous smile.
"I double dare." Kevin put in smiling. "You'll never do it."
"You guys obviously don't me." I smiled looking around to see where the lunch monitor was. She was standing on the other side of the cafeteria yelling at kids for throwing food at each other. I looked down at my lunch and flung the purple ball into the air.
"Holy fucking shit." Dan said laughing. "It just bounced off two tables and landed in some guy's soup."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
"What would posses you to do such a thing?" the principal asked.
"I dunno." I mumbled looking around his office. It's been along time since I've been sent to the principal.
"Well maybe you can figure that out in detention. Four days."
"What? It was just a harmless ball." I argued standing up.
"Harmless? It could have don't a lot more damage. Your one lucky lady it didn't. Now go back to class." he said picking a folder up off his desk and looking through it.
"Fine." I said and walked out.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Mary, I can't find Michael and Maria anywhere. Can I have a ride home?" I asked running up to her. "and Dan to. I mean If they aren't here to pick me up or anything that must mean they aren't at home either." I said smiling.
"Yeah, I'm sure my sister won't mind." she said smiling back.
"Actually can you come over to? I need a lot of help with math. I have to go to work at 5, so you'd have enough time." I said looking at her.
"What about him, does he need help to?" she asked. We got out of the car and I pulled the keys out to unlock the door.
"Hell yes. Not as much as she does though." he said laughing. I opened the door and turned to look at him.
"Shut up! You need just as much help as I do." I said punching him in the arm.
"If you two don't stop, I'm not going help either of you." she said trailing of on the you and looking around. I turned around to see everyone sitting there. Liz, Isabel, and Maria all sitting on the couch surrounded by stuffed animals that said Sherman's 15th annual fair.
"Holy shit, Skip much?" I asked looking around.
"Not that its any of your business but yes we did. We needed a break" Michael said looking me squarely in the eyes.
"So, does that mean I can too. I mean I had a rough couple of days to you know." I said smiling.
"No way, not happening." he said going in to the kitchen.
"Yes way!" I called back.
"Anything interesting happen in school today?" Isabel asked before Gabby and Michael could get into another one of their fights.
"Jerry cheated on Kathy again and it was a very public fight. He cheated on her with her best friend." Mary said. "It happened during lunch."
"During lunch? I didn't see it." I said curiously. Curiosity killed the cat.
"It was after you went to the office" Dan responded off handily.
"Oh." I said.
"Why were you in the office?" Maria asked looking at me.
"Oh I got in a little trouble today." I said walking towards my room. Dan and Mary followed me silently.
"For what?" she asked watching me walk past her.
"Nothing really. We were just bouncing this ball back and forth and I just bounced it a little to hard and it flew into some guys soup. Come on guys." I said as innocently as I could.
"Where are you going?" Michael asked from where he was sitting in the living room.
"In my room to study." I responded looking back at him.
"Not with him your not." he aid looking at Dan.
"Fine. We'll study in the kitchen." I said looking at Michael and then walking into the kitchen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monday Night-
Crashdown was pretty packed for a Monday night. I was relieved when my shift finally ended. I walked outside and Dan was there waiting to walk me half way home.
"Hey you." I said giving him a kiss.
"Hey baby." He said smiling down at me.
"You still coming tonight?" I asked with a wink.
"Of course, 2 sharp." he said as he kissed me goodbye. "See ya then"
As I walked home I thought about the last couple of weeks. Maria had slept over a couple of times. Which kept Michael pretty occupied most of the time and off my back. Which brought about Dan and I. I've been sneaking him in at around 2 for the past week or so. He'd be out by the time Maria or Michael got up.
I walked in the apartment and Maria and Michael were sitting on the couch "doing homework." I waved hello and went to my room to finish the rest of my homework. At around 12:30 I heard Michael and Maria going to bed.
I waited until two and let Dan in. We fooled around for awhile on my bed and then went to sleep.
"Gabster, Gabby wake up. Wake the fuck up Gabby." Dan said in my ear as I was trying hard to wake up.
"Is it time for you to go already?" I asked sleepily turning around to look at the clock.
"Uh, not exactly" he said looking at the door.
I looked up to see what he was looking at.
"We forgot to close the door." I mumbled looking from Dan to the figure in the doorway.
"What the Fuck is going on here?" Michael screamed walking into my room. He picked up one of my school books and threw it at the wall across the room.
"What is going on?" Maria yelled running into the room. "Oh my God."
"Living room. Now." Michael yelled giving us the death glare, before walking out of the room.
Dan and I got up as fast as we could. Put our shirts and pants on and went and sat on the couch. Michael was pacing back and forth in front of the couch while Maria choose to freak out in the kitchen.
"How can you be so stupid? How could you do this?" Michael yelled.
"What are you talking about?" I asked enraged.
"You had him in your bed. He slept here." He yelled back at me insanely.
"You hypocrite. You have Maria sleep here all the time." I yelled back pissed now more than ever.
"That's completely different and you know it." Maria said joining in on the conversation.
"I can't fucking believe this." Michael said talking to himself, pacing back and forth still. He stopped and looked at me squarely in the eyes. "Did you have sex with him?"
"No." I said looking at him. "Not that my sex life is any of your business."
"Your damn right its my business. Everything you say and do is my freaking business." he yelled as he went back to pacing. Then he asked me the question I knew was coming and I dreaded it. "has he slept here before?"
"No." I said quietly and looking at him.
"Don't fucking lie to me Gabby. I know when your lying. I'm going to ask one more time, Has it happened before?"
"Yes." I said looking down.
"Wow, didn't expect this one." Maria said sitting down on the couch.
"Are you even a virgin.?" Michael asked exasperated.
I considered lying to him, but like he just said he knows when I lie. "No, I'm not."
"W Wh what? Your not?" Dan asked speaking for the first time. Michael glared at him and he sank back down into the couch.
"How old?" Maria asked, giving me this weird look.
"13 or 14. I don't really remember exactly." I said nervously.
"Dan you need to leave. Like right now." Maria said as calmly as she could.
He nodded his head and got up and walked to the door. He turned to look at me and started to say something.
"Now." Michael said through his teeth. Dan was gone in 2 seconds.
Once he was gone I knew I was going to get it. I made myself comfortable and Michael started in. Then Maria joined in and they went back and forth for almost three hours. Finally at around 6 Maria left and Michael went to take a shower.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been about a week and a half now and Michael still hasn't spoken more than 2 words to me. We've become pretty good at ignoring each other and staying out of each others way. The grounding should be over today, but I'm to afraid to ask to go out. M & M both work tonight so I have the apartment to myself.
M & M walked through the door around the usual time that they get home from work. Maria walked in front of the TV and looked down at me. "Keep your schedule clear tomorrow night."
"Why?" I asked moving my hands around singling her to move out of my way.
"We're having another dinner. But there's a new guest." she said not moving an inch.
"Who?" I asked not that interested.
"A new girl. Be up early, your helping out again." she said looking at me. Then she looked between Michael and I. "And you two better start being civil to each other. Promise?" she asked looking at us both pleadingly.
"Yes I promise." Michael said obviously not wanted to.
"Yeah, I guess." I responded looking at the TV.
"Good, no goodnight." she said satisfied. She and Michael went into his room and I just watched tv for awhile.
I never noticed any new girl in school.
A/N- I'm sorry it took so long to get out. It's getting harder and harder to write this. And I have so much stuff going on in my life with my graduation coming up in a week. I don't know when the next chapter will get up but I hope soon. Please, please review!!!
