Chapter 4
Just Like A Stalker
I was getting ready for school thinking about the talk I had with Freddy last night. Although he scares me, maybe I should consider doing some investigation into finding out more about him just before our little thing after school.
"Miley, hurry the heck up." Jackson shouted from outside my door and hit my door.
"I'm almost finished!" I shouted and I pulled my hair in a tight pony tail. I over looked at how I dressed: pants, a striped pink collared neck shirt, and some shoes.
I took my book bag on the ground and headed out my door. Once I got downstairs, everyone was there already and waiting for me.
"Good morning." I smiled and they said it back.
"Let's go." Jackson got up from where he was sitting and took his keys that were on the coffee table.
We all went out to the car and started to drive off to school.
Maybe Jackson knew more things of Freddy then he let on. I wonder if he knows any of Freddy's classes.
"Hey Jackson, you know Greendale?" I asked and looked at him.
His eyes were concentrated on the road and he was quiet. He's always like this when he's driving; he doesn't like to get distracted because he's too afraid he'll end up crashing his car… again.
"What about him?" He said.
"Do you know anything more about him other than the fact that he flunked the 8th grade?" I asked and he loosened up a bit.
"Well, there was this thing going around that he fought with a teacher while we were suspended and that the teacher quit after he found out Greendale was coming back." He answered and drove into the school parking area. He was looking for parking when I thought of another question.
"Do you know what classes he has?" I sat up in my seat as he found a parking.
"All I know is that he's in my first period, which is Spanish. Why do you want to know this anyway?" He asks and I shrugged. I might as well tell him about after school since he is my ride home.
"I have a thing to do with him after school so I won't be able to go home until I'm done." I bit my lip afraid of how he was going to react with this news. I just hope he doesn't get mad.
"What the hell? Remember you're supposed to tell us these things ahead of time? Remember last year…"
"Don't you dare bring up last year." I hissed and shot him a dirty look. "And I actually trust him okay? I've been alone with him before and I highly doubt he would try anything. Just trust me for once and don't tell dad. I'm going to be in school anyway so just tell dad I had to stay after school with a teacher, a trustworthy teacher that is." I said. I hated lying to my dad, but I really had to do this or I would fail and so far, Freddy is the only guy in school other than my friends and family, that know about me.
"I swear, you make the stupidest decisions ever." He grumbled as he got out of the car.
I got out the car and started to walk toward the school with Oliver, Lilly, and Luann walking behind me. They got out long before Jackson and I started our tiny argument, I guess they thought it would've become even bigger.
Jackson slowed down a bit and started to talk to my friends in a soft voice, but I still could hear him.
"Keep an eye out for her please, I really don't want her to get hurt by this dude, I really don't trust him one bit." He whispered.
"Sure, anything." Oliver said.
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure she'll be safe." Lilly said.
"Okay, well I'll see you all after school." Jackson lastly said and bolted past me and ran into the school.
"He acts so differently ever since that whole problem happened last year." Luann said quietly.
"Well, he was shocked, I would be too if I was him. You're just lucky they forgave you, especially Miley." Lilly whispered back.
Even though they think I couldn't hear them, I could. They weren't going a good job keeping their voices down, especially with the students around us talked, their voices came louder.
I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around. They stopped talking and stared at me.
"I'm going off for a while, I'll see you all after school." I smiled and they nodded. I was getting tired of them talking behind my back, why can't they just forget about the past?
I turned back around and walked off. I was going straight for my first period, which was biology, when I passed by the counselors. I looked inside while passing and saw Freddy Greendale talking to Mrs. McCann, which was one of the counselors. He was nodding and smiling and she was smiling too. I just wonder what they were talking about. I went inside the room and walked to the bulletin board to see if there was anything on it while listening to Freddy and Mrs. McCann talk.
"Freddy, you know that you shouldn't be doing things like that, but considering your past, it's a good start." Mrs. McCann said sounding worried.
"I know, but it's hard. Having everyone in school think you're a monster and spread rumors about you really does suck. I wouldn't be surprised if my partner doesn't come after school to go over these songs for music class." Freddy's voice sounded disappointed. Maybe he wasn't such a bad guy after all.
"Hey, when are you due?" I hear a voice beside me say.
I looked up and a girl was staring at me. I looked at her, completely confused and she was looking at a piece of paper I pretended to be reading for the past few minutes.
I looked at the paper and carefully read it to myself. My eyes widened when I finished reading the piece of paper. It was one of those teen pregnancy things where if you're pregnant and you don't know what to do bulletins. I blushed and looked back at the girl.
"I'm not pregnant." I said and blushed.
She blushed as well and covered her mouth. "I'm so sorry! It's not that I thought you were pregnant or anything because you're really skinny, it's just most people who look at those things are, I mean I looked at it when… Well, never mind." She smacked herself on her forehead and smiled.
"It's okay, haha, I was just…" I thought for an excuse to use on why I was looking at it. "a friend of mine sort of… and yeah."
"It's okay, you don't need to explain!" She giggled. "By the way, I'm Aimee Guzman."
"I'm Miley Stewart."
"You're not Jackson's sister, are you?" She suddenly asks and I nod.
"Yup, he's my brother." I sighed. "Why do you ask?"
"No reason at all." She shrugged and started to talk about something when I saw Mrs. McCann and Freddy come out of Mrs. McCann's office.
"I suggest you take a good walk and don't worry about anything." She said and went back inside her office.
Freddy was about to pass by us and I looked down. I didn't want him to see me, but who couldn't see me, I was near the entrance of the office which was next to Mrs. McCann's office.
"Hey Freddy." Aimee said and he stopped in front of us.
"Hi Aimee." He looked at Aimee and then looked at me. "And Miley."
I looked up at him and he was smiling at me.
"Hey." I said and smiled back at him. I was debating whether or not to leave. I still needed to find out his schedule and if he was safe enough to hang out with him and I know I wouldn't be able to do that if I just stood here. Maybe I could ask Mrs. McCann if he was safe enough. She has seen him almost everyday since school started and school started just a few days ago.
He looked a bit flustered, but happy at the same time. Maybe he was afraid that I heard something I wasn't supposed to hear? "I'll see you in music, are you going to be there after school?" He asked.
"Err yeah, I just asked my brother if it was alright and he said yeah." I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at Aimee. She looked kind of uncomfortable, just like she wanted to leave.
"Okay, I'll see you two later then. Bye." He looked back and forth from me and Aimee for a second before he finally decided to leave.
"So you're tight with Freddy?" Aimee finally said after a few seconds of silence.
"Well, no. we're just doing this for a project and I don't really want to do it, but I have to. You close with him?" I ask, hoping that she was, maybe I could leech off some answers from her about Freddy.
"I guess you could say that. But not as much as before." She sighed and shrugged.
"Ohh." I replied. Maybe they used to date that's why she was so weird when she talked to him.
"Oh don't worry, we're not that close. We used to be best friends, but some stuff happened last year." She said as if she could read my mind. "Anyway, he's not a bad guy if you're afraid to hang out with him after school. Trust me."
"Really?" I lightened up a bit and she nodded. "Do you think I could as you a few questions about him then?" I ask and she laughed.
"Sure."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the morning I was talking to Aimee about Freddy, like what his classes were, how he's like, what he likes to do on his free time, and where he hang out after school and during lunch. She answered them without asking me why. I guess she could tell that I really needed to know this so that I could watch out for myself. The only thing she asked me was that if what happened between me and Matt last year was true. I told her yeah, and she was just shocked that a teacher would do that.
Anyway, we just instantly clicked and I found out that she has had the biggest crush on my brother since we moved here which is why she knew that Jackson had a sister. She said she used to be so obsessed over him, but she eventually got over it. She's in the same grade as him and she used to date Freddy which is why she knew a lot of things about him. Maybe I could seriously learn more about Freddy from Aimee and the shocking thing is, I think I'm starting to get obsessed with finding out these things about him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It was after my first period when I rushed to the Spanish class Jackson was in to see if Freddy was really in there. He really was and he was taking his sweet time getting out. I followed him to his second period, since Aimee didn't know what he had, and he had the class right next to my class. Thank gosh, I thought I was going to be late.
He had World History with Mr. Sing and I had US History with Ms. Luther. I watched him go inside the class and take his seat between two guys. They shook hands and started to talk like they were best friends.
I stared at him for a while, watching his every move, when I remembered that I had to get into class before I get late. I ran right into my class just before the late bell rang. I took a seat next to the door so that I could leave class early and follow Mr. Greendale around.
As soon as second period was over, there was recess, so once I left the classroom, I followed Freddy everywhere. He talked to a few people and shook hands with them. He even hugged a couple of girls. If he was so popular, why don't I even know him?
He was at his locker when a girl came up to him. Once he saw her, he smiled and started to talk to her. I walked closer to him, practically went to the locker close to him and listened.
"Come on Michelle, I wouldn't do that even if you paid me to." He laughed and lightly pushed the girl on her shoulder.
"Hey, a guy isn't supposed to hit a girl!" She exclaimed and laughed. "Anyway, please consider supporting the drama club and try out for the next play?" She asked as Freddy closed his locker.
"I'll think about it. I have to go to the counselors, bye Mich Mich." He said and hugged her.
'Hmm… he sounds pretty safe to me…' I said to myself and as soon as I couldn't see him, I walked up to the girl he was talking to. She was at her own locker and her back was faced to me. She was too busy to notice me so I tapped her on the shoulder.
She turned around and smiled at me. "Hi, am I blocking your locker or something?" She asked and I shook my head.
"No, no I was just wondering if you knew Freddy Greendale." I said. As soon as she heard his name, her face brightened up.
"Yeah, he's a pretty close friend of mine. He's so cute!" She started to giggle and shook her head. "Anyway, what about him?"
"I know this might sound awkward, but I was just wondering if he was, you know, safe to hang out with and all that." I started to blush and she laughed.
"Of course he is, he's like, one of the safest dudes to hang out with. If you're ever in trouble, he likes to help you out. Anyway, what is this for?" She asked out of curiosity. I smiled and told her my reasons on why I asked her that. All she did was laugh and told me that he was safe. Maybe it would be alright to hang out with him after school.
Soon it was music class and I sat at my desk waiting for him to come in. Today, Mrs. Rodrigues wanted us to look for some music and let us listen to some music she approved. It was all kinds of music and the only type she didn't approve was hip-hop rap. I don't understand why because rap and hip-hop is music. I guess she just wants it to not get out of hand and swear or something.
About a half an hour later, Freddy came walking through the doors with a greenish blue slip in his hands.
"Sorry-" He started, but Mrs. Rodrigues stopped him.
"Save it Mr. Greendale, I talked with Mrs. McCann and she told me why you keep on seeing her during this time. Just get with your partner and start working." She stated and Freddy walked over to me. He sat down next to me and smiled.
"Hey." He said and turned to me.
"Hi." I smiled and looked down at my desk. I had lyrics to this song called Suddenly that Mrs. Rodrigues passed out for us to see one of the types of songs she wanted us to sing.
"I've been hearing things…" He started and I looked at him again. His grin was wider than normal and he was nodding like a maniac.
"What kind of things?" I asked and he started to laugh.
"If you wanted to know some stuff about me, you could've just asked me."
I felt my face turn red and he gripped on my shoulder.
"It's okay, I know how you feel. I wouldn't trust me if I was someone, but yeah, I understand if you feel unsafe around me. I do ha-"
"No, I'm going so don't worry. I was just making sure because I'm not really allowed to be alone with guys ever since… this thing happened." I took a deep breath and looked back at the paper Mrs. Rodrigues passed out to us.
"Okay, I understand, but next time all you had to do was ask and not act just like a stalker to find out information about me."
I looked from the corner of my eye and he was still grinning like mad at me.
"Sorry…" I said under my breath and finally went back to my own little world.
A/N Ohh by the way, do you all have any song suggestions for Miley and Freddy to look at? LOL. What's a good song to sing to? Hmm…
Okay, I need your help. LOL this sounds weird. Anyway, I may upload another fanfic soon since one of the fics that I'm writing is almost over. Which would you choose, a Jiley fic or a Loliver fic to read?
