Chapter.3
Brothers and A New Girl
Ricks POV
"Ricky, bro, are you ok", Erin asked watching me in the bathroom running a wet washcloth over my eye wiping away the blood. "It's ok Erin, I might need to barrow Allen's eye patch and drops for awhile but I'll be ok", I assured my brother.
Erin is only six, he shouldn't have to see all of this he's too young to see such horror. That reminded me that a new girl joins our school tomorrow. Her name is Daisy, Delilah, Dolly, something that starts with D.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and txted Allen.
R- Hey Allen
A- Het Ricky what's up
R- I was delivered a black eye and I was wondering if I could barrow your eye path and drops
A- Sure man, was it your dad again
R- Sadly. Anyways thanks A you're great
A- Sure thing Ricky, I can bring them to school tomorrow
R- That'd be great A
A- Ricky, I dont want to sound like a bastard, but are you ever gonna break up with Hailey, I mean she treats you like shit and that god awful nickname Ricky poo
R- I am gonna break up with her tomorrow so be happy Allen
A- Oh thank god, and she acts like you can't sing bro, you have a melody like voice
R- Thanks dude, see you tomorrow remember the patch and drops.
I like Allen he's nice, he's right though Hailey does suck pretty bad, she's cute but damn.
"Big bro, can I sleep here tonight", I heard Erin ask at night at my doorway holding his red blanket and alien plushie. "Yeah, come here", I said and scooted over giving my brother room on my bed.
Next day
"Ricky", I heard Allen call my name in the hallway of school. "Hey A did you bring the stuff", I asked. Allen smiled and pushed my hood off my head and tied a black eye patch on me and handed me the eye drops, I slid them into my hoodie pocket. "Thanks man", I said and we walked to class.
I sat down and struggled seeing the board that the teacher was writing scientific equations on. I decided to ignore everything. Duh I know I need to pay attention in school but I believe that school isn't a place for smart people, and I am smart, like in science and stuff. Even if I don't need it necessarily I like school it's the only way I can get away from my dad.
About 30 minutes later I had to go to the bathroom and got myself excused. I walked into the bathroom just inspecting my eye.
Dianes POV
"No, shit shit shit", I panicked. My first day at Harry Herpson Herpsons high and I'm late. I was to focused in not dropping everything I didn't notice a boy walk out of the bathroom and I ran right into him my books and papers flying everywhere. "Ouch", I said rubbing my head. I looked at the person I ran into, he was a tall boy with blue hair wearing a dark blue turtleneck on with a black hoodie on and an eyepatch. "I'm so sorry sir, I didn't mean to, oh no, look at my mess", I whined looking at the scattered school supplies. "It's ok here let me help you", the boy said, I sat there stunned, no one has ever offered to help me before. "My names Richard Sanchez by the way, but everyone calls me Rick or Ricky", he said smiling at me, "oh, I'm Diane Crescent, you know like the moon", I smiled back to Rick. "Wait Crescent, you must be the new girl, I'm so sorry, welcome", Rick said placing a hand on his chest. I giggled and thanked him. I stood up taking my supplies from Ricks hands. "Thanks for helping me Ricky", I said and stood up. "Um Ricky, I hate to bother you, but since I'm new and all, I don't really know where I'm supposed to go, could you help me find class 3-A science skills 1", I asked the boy. "Wow, Diane no way, that's my class, let me see your schedule", Rick held out his hand, I gave him my folded up schedule. "Oh hell yeah, Ms Crescent you have every class with me, well except fourth block, thats when I have Calculus", I can see if my friend Raven can show you she in your class then too", I smiled glad people here seemed nice.
I wanted to ask Rick about the eye patch but I didn't want to make him uncomfortable.
In class 3-A science skills. I sat next to Rick after a very embarrassing introduction. He lightly nudged my shoulder. "Don't worry Diane, my introduction I had a broken arm, sprained ankle, and a big bruise on my ribs", Rick said sighing. I noticed Rick was struggling to keep up with his eye. I had an idea, "Ms. Riley, is ok if I move my desk closer to Mr. Sanchez so I can help him, he can't see very well ma'am", I said raising my hand. "That's very nice of you Ms. Crescent, yes, you may", Ms Riley replied. "Thanks Diane, can we share a textbook", Rick asked, "yeah, here", I said and showed him where we were and he fallowed along pretty well.
Lunchtime
Ricks POV
"Hey guys", I yelled out in the lunchroom seeing, Allen, Raven, and Hailey sitting at our claimed table in the cafeteria. I sat down and pulled out my juice box thanks Erin I thought. I heard the tapping of small heeled shoes walk by the table. I looked towards the owner of the sound and saw Diane. "Diane, come over here", I said and she turned around seeing me. She shyly walked over and sat down next to me. Allen looked like he was about to let into his animal instincts, I glared at him placing my arm around Diane saying no with my eyes staring at Allen. Raven smiled she seemed to be interested in Diane. Hailey though, she looked like she was gonna kill someone.
"Everyone, this is Diane", I said patting the new blonde girl on the head. "This guy is Allen, the girl with black hair that Raven, and this is Hailey my, g-girl-f-friend", I said stuttering I don't like Hailey anymore and let's be honest Diane is gorgeous compared to Hailey, Diane with her blonde hair that reached the middle of her back, light skin with freckles on her nose, and her beautiful striking blue eyes. She wore a sea foam green anime style outfit with white small heeled shoes. Hailey had black hair that landed at her jawline with a caramel streak in it, she worse a black crop top and a short black skirt. I looked at her and to Diane. She's perfect.
I had to do this now, "Hailey, come with me", I said, she's roughly stood up and flipped her hair throwing a bitchy face to Diane. I saw that and halfway viciously grabbed Haileys wrist and dragged her away.
"Ricky poo, why is she sitting with us", Hailey asked. "Cause she's new and doesn't have any friends, but that's not why we're here", I said crossing my arms. "Ok what", Hailey said copying my pose. "Hailey, I've about had it with your attitude, you bully Allen, make fun of Raven cause she has a little darker skin, then there's me, you called me a pussy and treat me like shit. I've ignored it for a long time and now you are being a bitch to Diane, I'm done Hailey, I'm breaking up with you", I said looking her dead in the eye. "Excuse me, you're what", Hailey said getting angry, "no, you are not", she said and pushed me rather hard. "Goodbye Hailey, and you're out of the band", I said. "Richard you are an asshole you know that, I hate you, don't ever talk to me ever again", Hailey yelled. "With pleasure", I smiled and walked back to the table. "I broke up with her and kicked her out of the band", I threw my hands in the air. Allen and Raven clapped so did Diane. "So Rick, I see Diane has her last class with me", Raven said. "Yeah, she does, could you take her there", I asked, Raven nodded. We all ate making small talk and me taking glances at Diane every now and then.
