Chapter Two: YOU!!
Later that night when Zidane got home, he was still thinking about why Ruby and Dagger left earlier today. Sure, Bre entertained them with her hyper activeness and charm, but Zidane couldn't help but feel a little weird about the whole situation. So, to find out, he would have to dig deep. Going into the kitchen and grabbing a Capri sun, he slipped up the stairs. His mother had left him a note saying that she had gone to the neighbor's house to baby sit and would be back around eight. As he arrived into his room, he leaped upon his big king-sized bed, which was obviously a hand-me-down. Once he got a grip, he grabbed his phone, punching in Ruby's number.
"Hello?" said a feminine voice. Then he heard a yell in the background. Then, there was a whole lot of noise. Finally. "Hello, are you there?"
"Dagger?" asked Zidane. He recognized that beautiful voice.
"Ziddy!! Hey, what's up?" Dagger asked. "Ruby, stop. . . WHOA!!"
"Hello?" Zidane said once more. "Is anyone there?"
"Zidane! Hi, hun, what do you need?" Ruby asked. She had a hint of a Southern accent.
"Well, uh, Ruby, I was just wondering. . . What were you and Dagger doing? I mean, earlier, what were you doing?" Zidane asked, anxiously. He couldn't believe that he had just asked that. Maybe he was being nosy.
"You know, just gurl stuff. We talked. I uh, kind of helped her out a bit." Ruby mentioned. Zidane had a hard time understanding the last part. But, he figured it out.
"Ruby. . . How exactly did you 'help her out'?" Zidane asked, voice filled with a bit of paranoia.
"Oh, just the little things." Ruby simply stated.
"Gotcha!" Zidane exclaimed. He was a bit suspicious of Ruby. She said she had 'helped her out'. But, Ruby did not had a good history of 'helping people out'. She just wished.
"Oh, no! Zidane, hun, I have to call you back later. The twins are causing havoc again! Bye, sweetheart." Said Ruby. He heard another voice in the background that said goodbye as well.
So, Zidane hung up the phone, still suspicious of the whole 'helped her out' thing. But, he knew that he would find out. Knowing that he couldn't do anything about Dagger and Ruby hanging out, he turned on the television and waited for his mom, as he drank his Capri sun. Zidane scanned through the channels for a few minutes. Then, once he realized that nothing was on, he tuned the television back off. Zidane then waltzed over to his stereo, switching that on. Luckily, Avril Lavigne's song Fall to Pieces. It had just come on He enjoyed that song, along with many other songs of hers. But that was his favorite so far.
Sure, it had only lasted for a bit, but, by the time the song ended, he heard his mother yell up the stairs. "Zidane! I'm home, sweetheart!" Denise yelled.
Zidane knew his mother would be exhausted and wanting to talk. So, to save himself the trouble of having his mom go into his room, he went downstairs to join her. "Hey, mom!" Zidane yelled, as he ran down the long stairs.
"Zidane! Come and talk to me, Sweetheart!" Hollered Denise. She was in the kitchen – no doubt about it. Zidane could hear her fixing some food up. She was bouncing through the freezer and through pots and pans.
"I'm coming, Mom." Zidane said, loudly as he came into the kitchen. "So, uh, how was your day?"
"Oh, it was good. Yours?" Denise asked lovingly.
"Mine was great! It was great getting to know the new girl." Said Zidane. He sighed.
"Oh, yea! About her! I had the wonderful chance of getting to know her parents while driving home from work. They were very kind!" Denise exclaimed honestly.
"I know, they were kind of. . . weird. But still! At least you know what kind of parents they are! They are highly protective of Dagger too." Said Zidane.
"Dagger?" Denise questioned. That was odd. She was not expecting another girl. Who was she?
"Oh, yeah! About that! That name, umm, Dagger, was just a little name I thought up of out of no where!" said Zidane. He could feel himself sweat as he remembered that he had not told his mother of her new name.
"Zidane! Are you two a couple so soon?" asked Denise. She had to meet the girls in person before they dared to get to date her son. Well, at least that went for the girls that she knew about. Zidane had to admit that he had snuck some girls in his house that he was dating, which his mom had not known about.
"Mom! Of course not! She is just a friend! That's all that I feel for her! And I am absolutely positive that Dagger feels the same way! Besides, why would you even ask that question, Mom?" Zidane questioned, almost yelling.
"Zidane, I think that you should make sure before you assume that." Denise said. Then, she shut up before they got into some sort of fight. Zidane was too afraid to ask what she meant too. He did not want to get in a fight simple over a name he had given someone for a reasonable cause. Or was it??
"Hey, umm, Mom, I'm feeling kid of tired. So, I'm probably gonna be down after I get a little sleep." Zidane stated.
"Okay, hun." Denise said quietly.
Zidane made his way upstairs. He had to be alone. He had to think about what his mother had said. What did she mean? Of course! Dagger felt the same way! Confused, Zidane leaped on his bed, trying to fall asleep. . . for the rest of the night. Slowly, he got drowsy and his eyelids began to feel a bit heavy. So, his eyes closed. And Zidane fell into a deep sleep. . .
"Garnet! Garnet, get up! I have to fix you up for today!"
Dagger had spent the night at Ruby's house. They had stayed up talking most of the night. The two girls had a whole lot in common. They had shared secrets that Ruby, nor Dagger thought that they could tell those secrets.
"Ruby?" Dagger mumbled. She opened her eyes, only a little though. Then she sat up, revealing a head of messy hair. "What time is it?"
"It's five!" Ruby exclaimed, maybe a little over excited. "Come on, Gurl! GET UP!" She seemed as if someone was dying.
"Okay," Dagger gave up. She wiped the sleep out of her eyes. Then, she stood up. "Oh, no! Zidane has my CD player! I have to get it from him. Could we call him later? I need to ask him to bring it!"
"Garnet! Calm down. If I know him, than he'll bring it. No worries! Zidane is definitely not a jerk! He's just a little spoiled from Bre. Let me tell you, Bre and Zidane go to the dance together every time! Gurl, if you like him, than you'll have to tell Bre. Sure, she is a little wild and weird. But, she is such a great friend. She will understand." Ruby explained. She was like that. She knew each and every one of her friends as clear as glass. They wee all too predictable to her.
"Thanks. I guess I am kind of over reacting." Dagger said innocently. "And, Ruby! Don't forget: it's Dagger at school!"
Ruby smiled. "I won't, Darling." There was a brief silence coming over the two of them. "Whoa! You need to go and get dressed, Sweetie! Let's go! The washroom is right in the hall, to the left. It's not hard to fin. Just look for a blue door."
"Okay, thanks Ruby," said Dagger sweetly.
"You look so new, Garnet! I love that new out fit on you!" Ruby exclaimed, looking at her all new style.
"You don't think that it is too. . . odd looking on me. Do you?" Dagger asked, examining herself in the mirror. She wore a pair of exceptionally loose black pants, a white tank top with the singer Avril Lavigne, which was Ruby's that she got for her last birthday. It was her favorite top. But Ruby would do about anything for a friend.
Ruby shook her head 'no'. Then, the two both stood, admiring Dagger's new look. It definitely did not look like her. She was wearing MAKE-UP! That was definitely not like her. She dreaded make-up. Soon, they heard a beep. It was the bus for the first day of school. Dagger was nervous. She had butterflies in her stomach.
"Let's go, Gurl," Ruby said excitedly.
The two made their way down the stairs, grabbing all of their supplies that they had to bring. Once they got to the bus, it was a struggle just trying to find a nice place to sit. All of the seats were totally and completely full. At least, that was how it seemed to the two girls. Suddenly, they saw some kids that waved their hands up in the air and called them over there.
"Hey, over here!" They were all boys – five of them. Dagger and Ruby figured what the heck! All of the boys were punk and Goths, obviously. They all had some type of piercing.
"Hey, I'm Adrian," One of the guys said to Dagger. He looked as if he was the quiet one in the gang. He had a peaceful hint to him. His hair was black and curl. He wore loose black pants, a baseball cap sideways and a green Greenday shirt. He had a piercing on his lower lip, as well as a piercing on his left earring.
"I'm Dagger," She introduced. Then, she noticed a seat next to him was empty. Well, she really did not have a choice either because Ruby pushed her in the seat right next to him. Then, Ruby took a seat next to one of the guys that was two seats ahead of Dagger.
"Can I sit here?" Ruby asked, still in the seat.
The boy, who she had asked shrugged. He had blonde hair with black strips, blue eyes, and much like Adrian wore loose blue jeans, a white Simple Plan shirt, and had more than one piercing. In fact, he had an eyebrow piercing and a lip piercing.
"I'm Ruby," She said, smiling. She was excited to meet new guys.
"Hi, I'm Jordan," the blonde/black haired boy said. His eyes were full of dullness.
The other three guys were on the other side of them. They were just talking to each other, making sick jokes and just, being guys. Then, one guy with red hair, wearing loose khakis and a black t-shirt and a nose piercing, spoke up to Dagger and Ruby. "Hecoy. I'm J.T. These are my buds: Danny and Charles." He pointed to the two guys.
Danny had dark brown hair and green eyes. He had on an extremely loose pair of black pants and a black Metallica sweater. They could tell he was wild by the way he spoke to them. He spoke to them as it he had a major partying style. "Hey," He said, charmingly.
Charles was just too insane! He had black hair in big spikes. This boy was looking as if he had a hyper problem. He wore a pair of major loose, like the other boys' pants, blue jeans, which were torn, and a tie-dye short sleeved. "I. . . am Charlie Charles! The immortal!" Then, he gave a scary laugh.
The seven kids soon were getting along just fine. They all talked about anything and everything that came to their minds. Charles, a.k.a., Charlie the Immortal, was the one finding most of the humorous thrills. He was thinking of the impossible the entire time. Soon, however, they arrived at the school. The bus driver was relived to had Adrian and his gang off the bus. They were all causing all sorts of trouble! But, overall on a scale of one to ten for fun, they would all rate it a ten! In fact, they had so much fun, that they all tried to get lockers next to each other. But, three of them were in the next grade higher. Charles and Adrian were the only ones in their grade. They were all frustrated because the school sorted lockers by grade. So, there were four different sections.
When the two girls, Dagger and Ruby met up with Zidane and the gang, they were all together. Bre was busy dancing to the music that was playing, trying to hide it from the teachers as well. Dagger noticed that was her CD player. But she did not care. Bre was just trying to have fun. But for some odd reason, she felt a little weird when she would hang on Zidane, but not the others.
Then again, Zidane would feel uneasy when Adrian would whisper things in her ear and Dagger would laugh. Everyone saw it. No one said anything though. But, then again, no one wanted to.
Everyone was amazed by Charles's stupidity. He was absolutely insane! Soon, the 'get ready for class' bell rang. That told them they had five minutes left to talk to their friends or do whatever else.
"Hey, Dagger, can I talk to you real quick?" Zidane asked.
Dagger nodded, following Zidane, away from the group. "Hey, what's up?"
"Wow! Look at you! You look. . . amazing!" Zidane exclaimed.
"Thanks, Ziddy." Dagger smiled, as she said that. She had to say that she was actually feeling good. Since the time she moved, she didn't think that she would be able to feel this happy. Wow! She couldn't believe that it had only been a day and she felt at home.
"So, uh. . ." before Zidane could finish what he was saying, the first hour bell interrupted them.
"Whoa, I've got to get to class. I guess I'll talk to you whenever, Ziddy. Bye," Dagger walked off carelessly.
Zidane sighed, watching her walk of carelessly. Suddenly, he noticed that the hall was empty. "Oh crud!" He exclaimed, rushing off to class.
