I didn't even realise the date, not even a week left of the holidays before I'm back at school. I also realised that I asked Terri if she wanted to go to the mall one day, and that she hadn't text me back last time I checked. I got my phone out and switched it on, she had left me a message, finally! I read it through and it said she had been visiting her Nanan when I called around and that she couldn't wait to see me. She also put on it that she was sorry if her brother had been a jerk. Brother! I guess that would be the eldest then, he probably looked older because he looked rough. I started laughing because I though it had been her dad.
Before I could text her back Zack came in ranting about where I had been the night before, he woke Cazzy up in the process so I went to get her, dropping my phone on the bed in the process. I completely forgot about it. I realised what I had done straight away as Zack's eyes lit up. Anger, conferment, I don't know, but it was clear he was going to make a big deal about it, the smirk on his face said everything.
He picked it up and started demanding who's it was and where I got it from. I said that Bob sold it me cheap yesterday. I said that's where I was yesterday, he was short staffed so I stayed late. When I was walking home I saw Jimmy and I ended up stopping at his as it was closer, and I didn't want to wake them up being so late. I know it was a lie but I'm not exactly bothered about lying to Zack. He took it downstairs to show my mom who also started asking where I got it from, both deciding that I was lying.
I don't even know why they made such a big deal of it. Its a phone, everyone older than 7 has one these days. I could understand if they were mad at me for not telling them about it but they weren't even bothered about that. Zack started getting really annoyed and then started asking who I had stole it from. Of course that made me angrier than before. I tried to hold my temper, I didn't launch at him like my fists wanted to. Instead I told him that I didn't need to steal anything, I can buy what I want, seen as I have a job. One where I actually work, not phone in sick every other day.
He went ballistic. He flew around the counter and slammed me into the wall shouting things I can't even remember. My mum pulled him off me and told him to calm down before shouting her head off at me for trying to provoke him. Cazzy was still screaming upstairs. Zack calmed down some before deciding that if I didn't tell him where I got it from he'd smash it up. I just stood there I wasn't going to make something up. He threw it on the floor and stomped on it a few times successfully smashing the screen and most of the buttons. Then he took the sim card out and snapped that in half, before announcing that next time I lie like that it will be me he is smashing up. I didn't say anything.
I wanted to kill him, just show him that I could hurt him. But I didn't. All I did was stand there, watching him, Barns words running through my head, how sometimes people will try to goad me for a reaction. That's what Zack was doing, pushing me. He wanted me to snap, to go for him. So he could prove some point to my mom or to himself, I don't know. But I didn't give him the satisfaction. Instead I told him he'd better clean the mess he made up as Cazzy could hurt herself on it. Then I left the room and went upstairs to calm Cazzy down.
As mad as I am about the phone, I'm so furious I could beat the sh!t out of Zack, it was good to see the look on his face as I walked away. He looked lost, he hadn't expected it to go that way, he expected me to lose it. Soon after I calmed Cazzy I herd him shouting downstairs, then the door slam. I bet he is pretty wound up that I didn't react the way he wanted me to!
He might have broke my phone but I still put him in his place. Now I've got to get a new phone. I'll go see Terri tomorrow and tell her I lost it or something.
Jack.
