Chapter 4: My new bff
I got up and did my routine of getting ready; shower, hair, make up. My hair is naturally curly so I just let it fall to my sides and pinned my bangs back. I had minimal make up on and my usual attire; bleach spotted black skinny jeans, a red t-shirt with a peace sign on it that clung to my curves perfectly and strappy sandals. I looked good.
I grabbed my bag and left the house. I was walking towards the bus stop when I felt jabs I my sides. I turned to see Maddie, Ava and J.J. giggling from the scream I had let out. "Jumper cables, really," I said laughing but they only nodded. "So do fights happen here often," I asked.
"Usually," said Maddie, "Audrey got her ass kicked by this one girl and she got her nose broke. She probably deserved it too," Ava and J.J. nodded in agreement.
"So you guys don't like her," I stated.
"If you're around her enough then you'll see she's a real bitch. What you seen yesterday was a show," Ava informed me. J.J. and Ava went off to greet their other friends.
"Then there were two," I said and Maddie giggled. I seen them walk over to a few other guys and one caught my attention. He had neck length brownish looking hair and he looked about my height. He was wearing pretty much all black but he looked my type. It's funny that I have a type but have never had a boyfriend.
"Hey Maddie who's that kid Ava and J.J. are talking to," I asked.
"Which one," She said confused, "oh the one wearing like all black," she said after looking for who they were talking to and I nodded. "That's Cody Diaz. He's cool. He's bomb at guitar, he's advanced this year. Do you want me to introduce you," she asked.
"No," I said shaking my head furiously, "I'll embarrass myself."
"No you won't! Come on he's really cool," she stated tugging on my arm.
"Fine," I said giving in. She pulled me over to them.
"Hey Cody, this is my friend Jessie," said Maddie. The first thing he did was touch my hair.
"My hair is softer," what was that about?
"Well it's nice to meet you too. Is everybody I meet today going to do that," I laughed.
"No just me," he said grinning. I almost forgot about Maddie until she spoke.
"So while you two get to know each other… I'll just be over there," she said sliding to the left. Cody and I laughed.
"What an odd little woman," Cody said. I laughed.
"She's a mystery. She said that you play advanced choir," I said feeling an odd sense of courage.
"Yeah, I'll bring my amp one of these days and blow these bitches away," he said grinning wildly. I smiled, he was kind of funny. I took a short moment to look him over and discovered he wasn't that bad looking.
"So do you play anything," he asked looking interested.
"I sing. I'm in advanced choir but I don't think I'm that good," I said with a glum face.
"Can I hear you sometime," he asked.
"Maybe in your dreams, I only sing for my mom and my best friends," I announced.
"Aww, I'm not your best friend. I thought we were getting along great," he said pouting.
"Well if you're a good boy then you might get there," I said in a slightly flirty tone. The bus pulled up and everyone piled on. Of course when you have my luck you get on close to last. I looked at Maddie but she was full.
"Jessie," someone yelled. I turned to see who it was. Cody was waving me over so I walked down the walkway.
"Sit down," he said.
"How exactly do you expect me to fit," I said motioning to the two other people sitting with him. He patted his lap and I look at him like he was joking. "You're kidding me right," I asked.
"Nope, completely serious," I stared at him in disbelief.
"Hey! Sit down so I can get a move on," the bus driver yelled. I looked down at Cody and sat on his lap, blushing madly. I put my arm around his neck to position myself better. I looked down at him and noticed his eyes, which were crystal clear blue.
"What are you looking at," he asked. I was hoping he hadn't noticed. I blushed slightly.
"Your eyes, they're really blue but your hair is like brown," I said confused by the contrasting colors.
"I dyed it brown. I used to as blond as you. I'm thinking about dying it black," he said.
"You wouldn't look bad. My friend did that and when her routes came out she looked like she was going bald," I informed him. He chuckled. "What grade are you in," I asked.
"Ninth," he said.
"Me too, when we get show me your schedule," I said.
"Okay. Do you have anywhere to sit lunch," he asked hesitantly.
"No," I said hoping he would ask me to sit with him.
"Meet me by the lunch doors and we can sit together," he said grinning slightly. Cody was really cool and so far he was number one on my new friends list.
