Chapter 3.

The next morning I woke up with a killer headache and turned to find Amber next to me cuddling my torso, I don't remember her coming in here? But shaked it out because it was making my head throb worse. Slowly I lifted from the bed and saw Trey on the couch watching the news and some story about a fire was on, I kept going as I got to the coffee machine and poured a cup.

"Heyy sleepy head how's your hang-over?" Trey just had to giggle about it!

"It's great you fag! What time is it?" I said annoyed as possible.

"Ten at night." He said as he sipped his cup I looked at the clock on the wall and saw it was ten o' clock I hadn't realised it was dark outside.

"Damn and we have school tommorow right?"

He nodded and I banged my head on the counter and went to the fridge taking an apple and went to my room. I sat on my window seat and looked down I was really bored and my head still hurt as I tried to remember about last night. Then I jumped as I remembered I kissed that Derek guy, I fell to the floor and put a pillow to my face and screamed at the top of my lungs.

"So we remember what fun we had last night?" Trey smirked as he talked in his retarded gay voice.

"You know what happened!?"

"Yes Iwas on the couch when you brought Amber home and that dude followed you in. You told him you didn't want anything serious but you tripped and he caught you, when he did you kissed him. I completly understand why he's nice lookin' cute butt." He licked his lips and just made me gag I can't believe I kissed him! I know he's hot and all but I don't want a boyfriend or even any sexual contact with anyone I still don't want a heartbreak after the terrible one my ex Johnathan gave me. I laid on the floor head hurting even more I just wondered how could I do that oh yeah that's right I was drunk and I do stupid things when I'm drunk.

"Why did you let me kiss him?" I asked as Trey took the spot next to me on the floor.

"Honey I had to you've been so seriuos for so long you needed to have some fun for once." He smiled but I was mad I threw my apple at him and walked into the bathroom. Slamming the door I ran over to the mirror and looked inside seeing the black bags under my eyes, a drool stain on my cheek, and a fuzz ball of hair on the top of my head which throbbed in my head harshly. I went to the shower and turned it on, stripped myself of all my clothes, and hopped in. Feeling the warm water on my body made me lose myself, slowly I washed my hair and drenched my whole body in water. Finally I opened my eyes and saw something on my arm and stared at it, a number? Then that's when the name came to my vision and I gasped the name as it hung on my lips and a shiver of pleasure washed through mee as I thought of the kiss last night. But I pushed it out of my head and tried to scrub it but something stopped me, turning off the water I threw on a towel and rushed to my room. I came to my vanity and got my iphone and punched in the number as it rang I frowned.

"Hello?" Came a voice both deep and sweet I could feel that shiver again but froze, "Hellooo?" And the line went dead, slowly I dropped on the bed and growled at myself.

I stayed in bed with my towel and Amber and sleptfor what I can say was ten hours which waas peaceful until Trey woke me up, "Come on sleepy head time for school!" He shook me and I jumped up to see him fully dressed and ready.

"I'm late aren't I?"

"No I was just going down to the coffe shop downstairs and woke you to get ready." He smiled and walked out the room.

"Well thanks Trey" and the door shut "come on Am wake up it's time for school." I shook her and she woke up slowly with a yawn and smiled.

"Good morning sweetheart oh I have to get beautified!" She jumped to me kissing my cheek and ran to her room, I laughed and went to my closet to get a pair of red skinnies, black vest, and grey shirt with Disney characters on it, with my high tops to top it off. I ran to my bed and got the bag with all new school supplies I had just got before we came here and curled my hair and put it in a loose side pony my way to the livingroom and saw Amber wearing apple bottoms, a jeans jacket just like the one I was wearing, a haltar top, and uggs, with her hair out wild loving life. I smiled and she laughed.

"Honey I still would fuck you silly if I were a guy!" I laughed at her comment.

"Babe I got a bonner just standing a room away from you." She laughed harder and grabbed my hand.

"Come on we gotta go find Trey."

"Alright Maddie see you laters sweetiepie!" I yelled as Maddie yipped goodbye. We met Trey down in the coffee shop and he had three coffees waiting for us as we walked in.

"Yay you are the best!" Amber yelled as she ran to get hers' and I noticed a sign on the counter 'Help Wanted' and jumped.

"I'm going to go ask for the job they're offering.'

"No we have to get going or we'll be late. You can go after school!" Trey shouted as he was out the door me and Amber following him. We went to the van and got in, it took fifteen minutes to get to the school. We came to the parking lot of Central Park East High School and I laughed at what some of the girls were wearing it was the end of January and they were already wearing mini skirts. "Shocker thereare tramps here to!" Trey joked and me and Amber laughed.

Slowly we got tothe front of the school and a fews guys had whistled at me and Amber because we were holding hands and a couple of girls tried to flirt with Trey but he said 'I'm not interested' which made me giggle every time. Finally we came to the front desk I was the one to talk because a guy was flirting with Amber and Trey was checking his messages.

"Hi!" I smiled and the secretary looked up, "I'm Alicia Reynolds and I'm a transfer from California with Amber Denner and Trey Ully. Our paperwork should be here."

"Oh yes the new seniorswell I have your schedules, forms, and anything else you'll need for the three of you." She smiled and handed them to me as I looked up to see Amber she was gone and so was Trey, I sighed at their abandonment. I walked down the hall to my new locker and saw it 3890 and stared at the skinny long grey locker and frowned but opened it. At least I had Amber and Trey right next to me I put my jacket in and pushed a hair out of my face and sighed when I heard a yell.

"Babe there you are why did you run off?" Amber came trailing down the hall with Trey behind her.

"I didn't you guys just disappeared when I came back with the info what happened?"

"Oh well Trey was cornered by this girl and I went to help him but when we came back you were gone." She laughed and hugged me before taking the papers and handing Trey his. "Well look's like me and Trey have science first period what do you got?" I looked down at mine and frowned.

"English?" I sighed and they frowned, "Well we better go get to class before we're late." She looped her hand in mine and brought me to my class which still had people piling in and she left, I walked in slowly and took the seat in the back and slouched I was all alone and hated it. Then some guy came up to me and smiled, Here we go!

"Hi you must be new I'm Jeremy." He smiled.

"Yeah." "So can I ask you something?" I looked at him as he asked and growled to myself.

"No."

"Did it hurt?" I almost roled my eyes at him in disgust.

"That's such an old pickup line" he frowned "and no but did it feel good."

He raised his eyebrow "DId what feel good?"

"When I kicked you in the balls!?" All his buddies behind him died out laughing, but he turned and punched one of his friends in the arm and floppped in his seat. Finally the teacher came and the class quieted down and I saw something flash in the corner of my eye.

"Heyy there beautiful!" I turned to see those same blue eyes I was lost in before and gasped, Derek!

"What are you doing here!?" I shouted in a whisper.

"Getting an education." He smiled sarcastically.

"You are so funny!"

"I try.' He just sat back in his chair and stared at me.

"I was being sarcastic you jerk." I squinted my eyes at him and he laughed.

"So did you miss me?" His smile was like the devil's and I loved the way it looked.

"No I didn't you're a jerk and I was glad to not see you in two days!" I was still whispering.

He put a hand to his heart to pretend to be in pain, "That hurts that really does you know."

"Good." I almost miss talking to Mr. Jeremy, but I still liked Derek's company.

"Come on sweetie you know you love my company." I was just shocked how he had read my mind.

"Can you leave me alone I'm Trying to learn!" I just wanted him to think I wasn't interested.

"I don't believe you want me to stop talking to you. By the way you are looking hot today like always." He just used that devil grin and gave me this shivers again. Quickly I turned myhead to look at the teacher, it was about fifteen minutes that passed and I couldn't stop looking at his grin, It was so interesting! I looked at him for one time for about five minutes and I think he noticed. "Sweetie you're staring."

I twisted in my chair and felt myself sweating in embarassment. I sat in my seat and took out a peice of gum and chomped on it visiously. Slowly I watched the watch the clock as the hands looked like they weren't moving and I found myself wishing I could just get out of this situation. I looked to the corner of my eye and saw Derek was looking at me, "Okay what do you want from me?"

"Your number since you already have mine." I almost gasped when the bell rang, he got up flashed me a wink and walked out. I grabbed my bag and my schedule and rushed into the hall when I bumped into Amber her blue hair whipping me in the face and I smiled.

"Heyy babe we missed you first period how was yours?" She smirked and I wanted to tell her about Derek but she was drunk the other night so she didn't meet him.

"Sad just so sad." I sighed with a smile and she grabbed my schedule out my hand and pulled me with her.

It was almost four hours when the lunch bell rang, I was happy though I had all the class after first period with Amber and Trey. We walked arm and arm in the cafe and everyone stared, yet we flagged them off.

"Heyy Ima go get a water okay." Amber said rushing to a vending machine.

"Yeah and I gotta go to the bathroom." Trey said zoned out so my eyes flickered to the bathroom where a cute guy went in and Trey followed .

I giggled and went to the line and waited. Finally I grabbed a carton of fries, a sprite, and an apple, I noticed there was like twenty people ahead of me and frowened. Then out of nowhere to hands covered my eyes and I smiled, "Babe!?"

I turned to see Derek and his arms around mewith his familiar grin, "I knew you'd be happy to see me the red in your cheeks are very descriptive." His grin widened and I broke away from his hold.

"Urgh you're unbelievable!" I turned to see the kid infront of me walk away from the register and I stepped up. With $3.26 in her hand the lunch lady put my money in th e register, walking away I looked for Trey and Amber and spotted them sitting already. "Heyy guys."

"Hi Lia come sit down." Trey smiled and Idid then saw three others.

Amber must have noticed because she said, "Oh sorry Babe this is Hannah, Jacob, and Issac we met them this morning. Issacwas the flirt this morning, I met Hannah in art class, and Jacob is Trey's new FRIEND." I could hear the sarcasm in her voice and smiled as I bit into my apple when I noticed Hannah looking at me. She wasn't ugly with her light brown eyes.

"Heyy Alicia can I ask you a question" I nodded "are you and Derek going out?" I almost spit my water out at her for saying 'Derek, dating, and me in the same question'.

"Umm...Hannah..." just then a shadow came over me and my smile faded as I turned to see the same slick black hair of my so biggest fan, "Hello Derek!?"

He swung his leg over the chair next to mine and threw his arm around me, "Miss me?"

"No!"

"Alicia don't be mean. Who is this cutie, I'm Amber?" She stuck out her hand and put her flirting smile on while Issac stared.

"I'm Derek we met the other day but you were to..." he caught my warning stare "out of it to remember." His charm was enticing I couldn't help but smile.

"Oh well I'm shocked I didn't remember. So how do you two know each other?" Her eyebrows rose to her hair lie.

"Well the same night me and her..." I grabbed his hand and yanked him from the table into the hall. "Wow you just can't get enough of me!"

"What's up with you? You flirt with me then put the charm on my best friend what's your deal?" I wasn't jealous but I needed to know if he was a player or not.

"Is sweetie jealous!?" He sounded so amused.

"No! You know what forget it!" Right when I walked away he grabbed my arm twisted me around and kissed me. The same shivers from before came back and I loved it. He moved his hand to the small of my back as mine tusseled his hair and pulled me closer. I wrestled his tongue with mine and his lips were as soft as they were before. It was a perfect kiss. But I pulled away and gasped.

"What!?" Derek sounded as if he had done something wrong.

"I-I-I...have...to..." I turned and began running down the hall.

"Alicia!"" Derek yelled but I was out the door running for the van. Jumping in I grabbed my phone out my bag and dialed Amber's cell.

"Alicia where are you, sixth period is starting!?" I sighed, "And Derek told me what happened."

I felt tearsstreaming down my face, "Amber I want to go home can you meet me in the um...van?"

"Totes I'll be there in five minutes!" The line went dead and I could feel the tears building up again. Why was I crying over some guy I just met? Just as I was lost in thought I saw something flicker to the left when I looed up to see Amber's face at the window and she gasped. "Oh babe" she jumped in the car "we're going home now!"
