I awoke quite early considering last nights commotion so I got a longish shower. Once I got out I dressed in my Jack the skeleton T-shirt, black skinny jeans equipped with black belt with silver pyramid studs on it and black sneakers. When heading down to the kitchen for food I stopped off at Tony's room. He was knelt on the floor by his trunk.
"You hungry?" mum shouted.
"I could eat a cow." Tony called back.
"You're getting weirder and weirder by the day you know that?"
Tony smile and walked with me to the kitchen.
When we reached school the McAshton boys were by the doors to Tony's part of the school and worry filled me instantly.
"You going to be cool dude?"
He just gave me a big smile and set off towards them with a sort of cocky confidence, so I just smile and walked away in my direction but stopped when I hear the idiot say.
"Out-ta my way looser."
Slowly my head turned and I saw them piling on top of Tony so I ran and began to pull them off of him.
Suddenly, two arms grabbed me and chucked me to the ground. I looked up to see a blue eyed, blond hair bimbo smirking down at me. Quickly I stood and swung my fist around hitting her in the mouth. She grabbed my hair and began to pull it so, using my arm, I grabbed her around the neck and swung her around so she was bent down backwards, her head behind me. Then I began to up cut her in a kidney punch, not hard enough to cause damage but enough to hurt. To get out of that she bit me and I let go, due to the fact I was supporting her weight she fell to the ground.
Because I believed in a far fight and because I need the anger to come back so I could continue I let her stand and get a punch in cheek but has she went for a second punch I grabbed her hand then went to punch her again but a hand grabbed mine then another grabbed me around my waist picking me off of the ground. I struggled against the grasp and the guy whispered in my ear,
"Stop struggling, you elbows in the ribs hurt you know." Cedric.
I did has he said and stopped struggling and he slowly put me on the ground and just has slow let me go.
The next thing I knew I was sat next to a bloody nosed Tony and glaring at the McAshton. The twins didn't have a scratch but Bimbo had two ice packs, on for her lip and the for her back, she was totally milking it. Cedric had just gone in for questioning, for the whole ten minuets he had been in there we had stopped glairing at each other.
When Cedric finally came out we all looked at him as if to say 'what side you going to pick'. He came and sat next to me and I couldn't help the half smile on my lips. Grabbing my chin gently he turned my head to the side to have a look a the scratches Blossom, stupid name, had caused. I didn't even know I had them until Tony pointed them out.
"Do they hurt?" He asked, his voice soft.
"No, I've had worse. Thanks for asking."
"What about you little man?" He asked Tony.
"I'm sweet dude thanks."
"She's not the one with a fat lip, possible bruised eye and a very painful bruised back."
"Oh I didn't even hit you in the eye bimbo."
"Hey, don't start round two here." Cedric called
The headmaster came out, but I hardly noticed, I only had the glairing eyes for bimbo. He announced that we had suspension for the rest of the week, except Cedric who had nothing to do with the matter. Cedric kindly gave us a lift home again. Tony ran straight into the house and just has I was about to leave Cedric grabbed my arm,
"How about we do something tomorrow?"
"Umm…sorry can't."
"Why, you have the day off?" He pointed out.
"Yes, but for what reason, you think mums going to let me out."
A slow smile spread across his lips and he got out of the car, I followed his actions and walked with him to where mum stood at the door wondering what he was doing.
"I'm Cedric McAshton." He held out his hand.
"Dot Thompson. Pleased to meet you."
"I was wondering if you could hold off the grounding until after tomorrow, you see the fight really wasn't ether of their faults and I was hoping to take April here to see the sights tomorrow, but of cause if that is not alright with you then I understand."
"Oh." She looked completely shocked. "Well yeas ok, she can go out tomorrow."
"Thank you, Mrs Thompson, pick you up at mid-day."
Has I stood with my mum watching him leave I could help but think this was apart of his plan to destroy me. I turned to the house and then when I passed my mum, who had a big grin on her face, I mumbled,
"Shut up."
"So he's your boyfriend?" She asked excited.
I smiled. "He's a boy and a friend, Tony's up stairs with a bloody nose." I said to distract her.
"Oh right." She ran off up.
I just went and grabbed something to eat then went into my cellar to do my homework. Bob came down to ask if I wanted to go golfing but I turned him down. I wasn't interrupted again until tea time, there was just mum and me considering the boys wouldn't be home until six.
After tea I sat in the cellar reading then went up into Tony's room and sat on his trunk looking around the room, I don't know why I just did. Tony suddenly burst through the door shouting,
"Rudolph!" he stopped suddenly.
"Who?" I laughed.
"He's my friend, I was thinking out loud."
"Right."
I stood and slowly left, I was really starting to worry about him.
For the rest of the day I did nothing but wonder about Cedric, he was extremely cute but…I don't know, I just didn't trust him I guess.
