Miranda's Life

I do not own as told by ginger. I just own the plot.

A/n: The end is coming doubt anyone really cares but hey.

Talking Part II

I finally get back to school for once I'm glad to be back in this place. I was half expecting my friends to confront me right a way but it didn't happen. I just go on wearing slightly colored clothes and now I don't hear as much talk. I still hear people whispering stuff they know nothing about. I still feel eyes trying to figure out what happened no way, am I going to satisfy their curiosity they just keep dreaming. Slowly I feel like I'm coming back to my glory days. I walk with confidence and when I see Courtney talking with Fautley it doesn't really phase me as much. Sure I will always be annoyed at that do good red head but I resent her a little less now. I just walk by not wanting too much more attention put on me. I walk in my classes could take on anything except….

"Ms. Kilgalen are you feeling better?"

Questions like that now I don't mind answering them but knowing some of these teachers they'll ask me the same thing. It gets SOO ANYYONING! I'm here aren't I if I wasn't ok then I wouldn't be here. Still not one of the people that came to the hospital questioned me yet and in a way I'm glad they haven't. I can deal with the adult questions but not with my friends. Slowly the day creeps on and finally the lunch bell rings. So far I've survived now to last through the rest of the day. I just sit down in my usual spot this day hasn't been too bad all things considered. I notice Chad talking to another girl which was fine by me I didn't hold any clam on him. I just eat then he makes his way to my table and I wondered why had he made his way to my table, he's probably just being nice. We just eat in silence and you know it was actually nice. Something told me though once I got home the questioning would begin and be painful for now I'll enjoy the calm before the fire storm. The bell rang and the faithful last part of the day began. It seems normal enough I just go on home not really sure I really want to face the band. I walk home it wasn't until I got past the school doors that I realized I didn't see Chad anywhere. I just shrug it off though not really wanting to barge in his life.

I walk on not really wanting to worry too much about the small details. Of course I knew something big or at least something that doesn't appear everyday in my life. It wasn't that bad of a day in fact it almost seems like things can go right. I am not in such a hurry to get to a specific location. When I finally get home things were a little too quiet.

I walk inside not really knowing what to expect. I just walk cautiously again I don't know anything that my friends or my dad had planned. I walk into the living and sat down. I begin to relax for a moment until I saw Courtney out of the corner of my eye. I look around and see everyone sitting near me. I knew this was bound to happen at some point so I decide that it was time for me to face all the questions that lay before me.

Courtney looks really sad and asks, "Miranda do you hate me for hanging out with Ginger?"

I let out a sigh and say, "No Courtney I don't hate you. I get jealous but it isn't hate. I just have to let go of that selfish child. You're my best friend Courtney don't forget that."

She hugs me and then Fautley came up and ask, "Miranda why did you go all goth? I know you hate me with a passion but I didn't think you'd go on the dark side."

I sigh and say, "Well Fautley I guess I felt so trapped and it was the only thing that seemed to ease the pain."

Courtney still had the teary look on her face as she says, "Miranda you should've came and talk to me instead of letting it boil inside."

It was so hard to see Courtney react like this. I really didn't think she was this affected. Next I saw a person who I didn't expect to see other than Fautley and her gang of course. He looks at me with disappointment in his eyes and I really couldn't blame him. Courtney smiles and moves away which confuses me a little. He looks mad and sad at the same time. I'm so shocked at this expression I don't know what to say or do.

I just sit there and allow him to do all the talking. He finally says, "Kilgalen you know that was stupid and selfish of you right?"

I just nod and look at him. Suddenly he hugs me, not that it was a bad thing it was just one of those things that knocks you off of balance. He says,
"Do that again Kilgalen and I will kick your butt personally. Do you realize how lonely it has been in gym and in band?"

Again I am surprised and here I thought Chad wouldn't notice. I manage to squeak out, "No Chad, I thought you all would've gone on business as usual."

He sighs in my ears and asks, "Did I do something wrong today? You didn't seem to notice me at all."

Right like I was going to tell him the complete truth. Although I could hint the truth a little bit. I say, "No it was because it was my first day back. I was mad about a lot of things but not at you. I saw you talking to a girl at lunch though, is she your girl?"

He looks at me like I had lost my marbles. He suddenly smiles with a cocky glance as he asks, "Miranda were you jealous?"

I look like a deer in headlights but refuse to answer that with the honest. I say, "No just curious I could care less about your love life."

Ok that did not sound so convincing and I said it. He looks at me with that quirked eye brow. I groan and ask, "What?"

He says, "I just noticed that we're alone."

'What?' " What" I asks in a confused tone. I looked around and saw that everyone left, I didn't like that at all so I try to smooth it over.

"So what it isn't like we're going to do anything?"

He suddenly gets close to me. WHAT IS CHAD DOING! SURE I'VE GONE OUT WITH CUTE BOYS BUT IT WAS NEVER SOMETHING SERIOUS! He put his hand on my shoulder and pulls me in his lap. To be honest I half expected dad to run him off but it seems that my dad is allowing him to stay. He draws his mouth closer to mine and says, "By the way Rose isn't my girl." He captures my lips and to tell you the truth it was actually good. I could hear Courtney getting all excited and my dad throwing warning glares. After that brief moment of paradise we separate and look at each other.

I asks, "Does this mean that I'm your girl?"

He gives that confident smile and says, "Only if you want to be."

I give a mysterious smile and say, "Why not?

Ok this is one before the final one. Hope you readers like it.
