*Chapter 9*

MINDY'S POV

School is a bitch, its true, but its nothing compared to fucking in house.

I was stuck in a classroom, staring at the wall, waiting for the bell to ring- there were about three other kids in there with me, but no one I knew. Fucking great.

The girl next to me loudly blew her nose into a tissue, before sneezing repeatedly.

"SHH!" Mrs. Martinez, the in-house supervisor chastised her.

I scoffed, and sat back, feeling my ever-growing pigtails get crushed by my back.

"Fuckin' tissue nazi," I murmured.

I heard an ill-hidden laugh from behind me, and I turned around.

It was Tyler Perez, this preppy ass 6th grade "stud" who all the girls had crushes on- he seemed like kind of a pussy, but I still- for some goddamn reason I still can't identify-smiled offhandedly at him, and he smiled back.

He had a nice smile- good….like teeth or something.

Hell, I don't know.

The phone rang, and Mrs. Martinez turned around to answer it.

In the twenty, thirty second window he had, Tyler speed walked to the front of the class, and sat down next to me.

….the fuck?

"What are you in for?" he whispered.

"Punched a bitch in the face in the middle of class," I whispered back.

He laughed again. There were those nice teeth.

"What about you?" I asked.

"I called a kid a dick," he said simply, and smiled again.

Against all odds, this Tyler kid actually seemed like he might not be too bad- it wasn't like I was gonna start spewing stupid love-at-first-sight-shit, but he seemed…I don't know…kinda fun.

"That's a dick move," I said back.

"You gonna punch me?" he replied.

I laughed too- it felt good to let go with someone that I hadn't known for very long, like Marcus, or Dave, or,I guess Alicia.

The bell finally, FINALLY fuckin' rang, and I was shooting out of the classroom, when Tyler ran up to walk with me.

"So, I think I've seen you around before," he said. "I'm Tyler."

"M-Mindy," I stuttered. What the hell? One glimpse of nice teeth, and suddenly I was acting like fucking DAVE.

He shook my hand.

"Mindy," he repeated. "I like it."

I liked the name Tyler a hell of a lot too.

DAVE'S POV

"Katie!" I called, running up to my girlfriend.

She turned around, looked to make sure Mindy wasn't with me, and then she smiled.

"Hey, Dave," she said. "I'm glad to see that strangling bitch isn't with you."

I understood her being mad at MIndy, but I didn't like to hear anyone call her a bitch.

Mindy called people bitches, not the other way around.

"Are you still mad at her?" I asked.

The smile disappeared.

"What do you fucking think?" she asked.

"Katie…"I said. "She's had it rough. D-don't hold it against her."

Despite my best efforts, I remained extremely pussyish when it came to confrontations.

"Uh, have you ever gotten attacked by her?"

"Well….yeah…"

"See? She's fucking insane. I told you, if I see you with her, I'm gonna pretend you're not there."

"Katie!" I said. "I-"

"Dave," she stopped me, putting her hand on my shoulder, and staring me down with those big blue eyes of hers. "I don't want you to get hurt. You're finally done with all of this Kick Ass bullshit, so don't let her drag you into anything dangerous that you don't want to do."

"I won't," I said, honestly. Because it wasn't like I didn't want to do it.

"Good," she rewarded me with a smile. "Do you want to do something tonight? Like a movie or something?"

"I can't," I said. "I'm supposed to train- I mean, hang out with Mindy and Alicia."

The smile evaporated, and so did the hand on my shoulder.

"So they come before me now?"

Suddenly, I was frustrated.

"Katie, don't fucking make me choose between you two," I said.

"Maybe you should," she replied. "Since its obvious that you can' t handle having both of us."

"Don't….Katie…If you make me pick one of you…I'm gonna pick Mindy. Every fucking time. She's like my sister, and I love her like one- its my fault her dad is dead, and she forgave me. She kicks my ass, 24/7, and yeah…it sucks shit, but other times, we do kind of act like siblings. She…she's my sister," I repeated, suddenly realizing that I meant every fucking sentimental thing I said.

"And I thought I was your girlfriend," she popped her hip out.

"Well, maybe you shouldn't be anymore," I said, not believing myself- after all, I would probably never have a chance with a girl like that ever again, but like I said- I would still pick Mindy every time.

She was clearly shocked.

"Maybe you're right," she replied. "I'll…probably see you around, Dave."

And she left.

What the fuck had I just done?
