Chapter 2
An Enemy's Caring Touch
I see a certain red haired pain and yell, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FAUTLY!?"
She stands there and says, "Such cold words from someone who is alone."
I groan inwardly and sigh looking at her. 'Why is she here to torment me some more? She has no clue how much she has it made.' She sits down beside me and I'm even more confused than before. I hiss, "Fautly you don't need to show pity."
She sighs and says, "Miranda even thought you hate my living guts I've noticed you aren't your different self."
I should blow up but in a way Fautly is right. I sigh and say, "Look Fautly I have so much to juggle anymore. I almost appreciate your feeble attempt to help me, but I'll get back in the groove."
I was hoping she'd leave me to my thoughts but then the red haired pain says, "Miranda even thought you scowl and sometimes want to hurt people emotionally, I know you're in pain. Just know that I'll be around if you want to you know blow off some yelling steam." With that she leaves and again she confuses me. I groan inwardly, 'Why does Fautly have be such a saint most of the time? Courtney hasn't even said anything to me, but then I did once try to get rid of Ginger.' I walk into gym and a few guys look at me with raised eyebrows over the hair bow. We do exercises and this one buff looking guy was giving me the eye but I don't notice. We run 4 laps and then play kickball. Couch Daniel and Ms. Jennings pick leaders, and I'm against the buff guy. 'You're going down pal that's all I have to say.' Ms. Jennings says, "Now the ceiling is worth how many outs?"
The guy answers, "Two am I right Ms. Jennings."
Ms. Jennings nods and asks, "Miranda where are the forced outs at?"
I answer, "First base only."
Ms. Jennings smiles at me and says, "Alright guys no rough throwing."
Couch Daniel asks, "Ready to play?"
The guys hoot a little bit and we go to kick first. I go first and kick a deep drive into right center field and I manage to go to second. A poor fool tries to go the cheap way but ends up getting out, but another guy, I think his name is Ryan kicks a homerun. Just when luck was on our side, Jerry and Slade both get ceiling kicks. The game went on like that flip flop, near the end we were tied all we needed was a homerun kick. The new buff guy was pitching and had a strange smile on his face, he pitches it. I kick it and I got the homerun kick, for once in a month I smiled. 'Oh dang I have band practice today oh well good thing I decided to put my flute in my slot. I doubt my dad is going to be home early anyway, he doesn't get off till like 10 pm.'
We all shake hands and say good game and we go into the showers. I was deep in thought, thinking about 20 things at the same time. I groan and wash quickly, then walk out in my lightly damp clothes. 'Why did Faulty talk to me after all I did to her? Why does she care if I'm acting differently or not?' I walk out and put my gym clothes up in the locker, and walk out. The guy says, "Hey um Miranda you're a pretty good player."
I nod and say, "You're not half bad yourself. What's your name anyway?"
He smiles and says "Chad Pettry." I see a band schedule in his hand and ask, "Are you in band too?"
He nods and says, "Who knows maybe I can impress you."
I laugh my "Are you crazy" laugh. I say, "Uh lets not try to shoot for the moon just yet."
The bell rings for school to let out but Chad and I walk to the band room. I notice that he is staring at me and I ask, "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO LAUGH AT MY HAIR BOW!?"
He just smiles and keeps his eyes glued on me. 'I use to like getting attention from guys but now it's just a major pain.' I walk into the room with Chad behind me and everyone looks at me in a shock expression.
"WHAT PEOPLE I DECIDED TO BE FIVE MINUETS EARLY IS THAT A CRIME!?" Everyone just sit there and I groan as if things weren't different enough Fautly was smiling at me as she walks by. Chad says, "YOU HEARD THE LADY STOP TREATING HER LIKE AN ALIEN!"
After Chad says, that they all rush like a heard of cattle over wanting to met him. 'Maybe this guy isn't going to be one of those self centered losers. Maybe I can actually enjoy things who knows?'
Ok I'm not really focusing on Miranda's dad too much. I sort of forgot he was a police officer but he could've had military experience. Now I would like to thank my reviewers.
Beechan04: Thanks again and I like to know I have a fan in a new section.
MyPickeledEmbryo: Thank you for your input it has been a long time since I had a rather lengthy yet informative review. I sort of forgot the fact that Miranda's dad was a police officer, but it sort of balances out. I hope to get more reviews from you. I fixed the time instead of 4 to 5 I'm not really sure when the school would start, so it's just a guess. Thanks again and don't be a stranger to point out things.
Keep up the support ï
