Hey, yes I got the "A child does not choose its father" thing from Eragon. I thought it would fit in. Might be spelling errors, but try to ignore them ok? I really try to find them I really do!

Enjoy and read and review. I do not own any of the characters you recognize.

Chapter 11 Swift off my feet

What a great day! Great day indeed… I KISSED WARREN PEACE! Sorry, couldn't help it. And it was only a kiss on the check, so it wasn't a new experience or anything. But it was Warren Peace for Christ sake! I completely ignored my fathers foot tapping, and just looked dreamily the wall.

"Taylor Cameron Cadwell…" he said and shook his head so that his bushy gray hair became even more messed up.

"Yes father?" I said still with my eyes fixed on the wall over him. (Who can blame me?)

""Was that Warren Peace?"

"Indeed it was…"

"Warren Peace as in Baron Battles kid?" I quickly shifted my gaze to my fathers that made my neck crack.

"Possibly…" I said looking everywhere but in my fathers green eyes.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU BROUGHT MY ENEMIE'S SON IN TO THIS HOUSE!" he yelled that made both Cyrus and mom to join the conversation.

"What's all the shouting about?" asked mom looking from dad to me.

"That… That… Boy Taylor brought home today is the son of one of my enemies! It's Baron Battles child." He said looking for words.

"I thought he looked familiar. Nice guy though." She said and removed some flour from her nose.

"Nice guy?! That doesn't matter! He gave me this!" he said and showed her his finger that had a 2 inches long scar on it.

"Honey, that's 20 years ago."

"And it still hurts!" he finished and turned to me. "I will not have him in my house Taylor! Think of what he could have done to you! I shouldn't have let a boy looking like that in to your room without supervision…"

"What do you mean looking like that?" I asked angrily.

"Leather jacket, black boots and I bet that he's got a tattoo!" (Hm, I haven't thought about that before… I would be hot though. Unless it is one of those 'I love mom' tattoos…)

"So what if he does! And I can't believe that you think he would hurt me! If it wasn't for him, I would have had my face full of bruises!" I yelled back, my face heating up in anger.

"As father as son Taylor, it's just how it is…"

"A child does not choose its father, I understand that now…" I said furiously and marched up the stairs and slammed the door to my room.

No, I did not cry, but I screamed like a pig to get some of the anger out. It helped a bit but not much.

Men are the stupidest creatures on earth, except Warren of course he's perfect… But my father on the other hand, argh! I can't believe he just said those things about a b… Man he doesn't know! Oh poor me I have a little scratch on my finger, buhu.

"Hey is Jordan there?" I asked Mrs. Marsden after my fury burst. We talked for at least and hour about everything that had happened that day.

"For heavens sake, we're in high school. Boys are the most important thing in our lives at this stadium." said Jordan in the other line.

"You're right. We are in high school!"

"And you think Jamie is slow."

"That means that it is perfectly normal to hate your parents."

"Especially when they're criticizing your boyfriend."

"Yeah. No! No! That's not what I meant!" I corrected myself.

"You said it. Taylor, you are so hopeless."

"I most certainly am not! I'm just…"

"Swift off your feet?"

"Yes. No, no! His just my…"

"Knight in a shiny armor?"

"Well yeah if you look at it that w… NO! No! I… You're so… Bye!" I said and hung up. Knight in shiny armor, yeah right. Swift off my feet, possibly, but I'll never admit it. Not now, not in a million years!

(One night and one bus ride later…)

"I am so swift off my feet…" I told Jamie and Jordan as we sat down under a tree. We were all looking at Warren that sat by the stairs reading as he usually did. The grass tickled in the back of my head as I lay down.

"Told ya." marked Jordan under her breath. Warren was soon joined by a gang in surprisingly colorful clothes, the purple girl and the tall white haired boy got a set behind him while Will, the redhead and the orange kid got a seat at his side.

"Wish I knew what they talked about." I said and sat up again. Jordan smirked.

"Oh no. I know that look. That look got us up on Emma's roof!"

"I've got an idea…"

"Oh look a candy machine." Said Jamie that was (I can't believe I'm saying this) smart enough to walk away before Jordan got a hold of her.

"Was that some one calling my name? I believe it was. Bye Jor…"

"You stay putt. I'm doing this for you." Said Jordan and grabbed my arm and pulled me down again.

"Doing what exactly?"

"We are gona find out what their talking about…" she said and helped me up on my feet.

"What if they're talking about something private like school, family, grades..."

"You."

"… What are we waiting for? C'mon!"
