Amanda sat on the stairs in Winslow high with Marty, he had been given his
suspension and told not to show up til Monday. Biting her lip she leaned
down on Marty whow as sitting on the stairs below her. They were avoiding
going home because Marty just didn't want to deal with the ranting and
raving his parents were going to do.
"Well coulda been worse, coulda been five days,"said Marty.
"Still,"sighed Amanda.
"That was pretty cool, you coming in there and acting all tough. You buried Senate pretty far into the ground,"said Marty looking around the empty school.
"He deserved it,"said Amanda.
"I guess,"sighed Marty as they heard footsteps coming down the hall. They fell silent as the waited and watched. Ronnie came walking down the hall with a pile of papers in her hand but stopped once she seen them.
"Marty weren't you suspended?"asked Ronnie.
"Yeah,"said Marty. Amanda just rolled her eyes knowing Ronnie was going to start kicking shit up again.
"Then I believe you should be gone from school property,"said Ronnie.
"Don't worry Ms.Cook we were just leaving,"said Amanda bitterly as she picked up her bag and stood nudging Marty to do the same.
"Just remember Marty, you're not allowed on the grounds well you are suspended,"said Ronnie as they walked down the stairs.
"I know,"said Marty. Amanda stared at here with daggers in her eyes as she walked past. Ronnie stood there knowing Amanda knew she had shown her will to fight and she wasn't afraid to come on full force, Ronnie knew she had to be careful with Amanda but she couldn't help it there was something about that girl that could infuriate anyone, she had a cocky era about her but it was she had no idea it was there, like the dorky girl who has no idea how beautiful she really is.

The next day Amanda trudged through the halls at seven thirty am. Scott had given her a ride and made her show up early. Now, half asleep she went to her locker so she could drop off her books and lighten her backpack up. Opening her locker she swung her backpack around and started shoving books into the locker. As she slammed her locker shut she seen Harry walked down the hall. Sighing she quickly moved her bag around and walked away from him quickly down the hall, he hadn't said anything to her but she didn't want him too. Quickly she came to an exit and pushed it open and swung herself out, she was in the back parking lot that was completely empty, she walked a ways from the door then sat down on the curb. Digging through her bag she found a pack of cigarettes with a lighter, pulling one out she put it in her mouth and lit it.
"I thought you quit," Amanda heard Harry standing behind her 'fucking hell just go away, I can't take this' thought Amanda resting her head in her hand.
"Not talking huh?"asked Harry.
"Nah, last time we talked I got the shit end so no thanks,"said Amanda.
"I wish you wouldn't be like this,"said Harry,"You have to understand."
"I understand,"sighed Amanda.
"Then why be like this?"asked Harry.
"Why be like you have,"said Amanda shooting back.
"Pardon?"asked Harry.
"You know damn well,"said Amanda.
"Well maybe if you friends kept quiet about things,"said Harry refering back to Marty's comment the previous day.
"Oh don't start that, no one knew anything about that,"said Amanda.
"We just need to let things be,"said Harry.
"Well I can do that, can you?"asked Amanda sitting back in arrogrance.
"What does that mean?"asked Harry.
"Anything you want it to mean,"said Amanda standing up,"Ya know what they say, take things for all their worth, especially when you ain't got much in the first place." Amanda dropped her cigarette on the ground and walked away from Harry. He looked at her and watched her walked away, 'okay she is right a bit, but only a bit' thought Harry as he slowly started walking back into the school.
"Well coulda been worse, coulda been five days,"said Marty.
