Chapter Twenty-Four: Glass Houses- Steel Magnolia
Alexis's Point of View
"Mom?" I ask.
"Yeah sweety?"
"There's this girl, she said that I'm ugly, and she's always making fun of me. What do I do?"
"Tell her 'people who throw stones shouldn't live in glass houses' and ignore her, if things get to bad though, you tell me and we'll tell the principal."
"Okay, thanks mom." I say, and hug her.
"No problem." She says, I release her from the hug, and she goes back to making stir fry veggies with no meat, since her, Talia, and I don't care much for it with meat.
The next day, I confronted the girl.
"Hey, look, it's the ugly bull-dog." The girl, Milessa, says to her friends.
"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." I yell at her, saying my mom's exact words.
"I'm not throwing stones," She says, dimwittedly, then her face lights up, "But now I'm going to."
She picks up a rock and throws it at me, I run up to her and punch her.
Kate's Point of View (phone convo in italics)
My phone whines from my pocket.
"Hello?"
"Yes, Mrs. Castle?"
"Yes."
"This is Principal Soyet."
"Did something happen to Alexis?" My mind goes into hyper drive.
"Another student was bullying Alexis and threw a rock at her."
"Oh, no, is Alexis okay?"
"Ma'am that's not the whole story, Alexis punched the girl after that happened."
"Really?" I ask, trying to hide how impressed and proud I am of Alexis for sticking up for herself.
"Yes, would you please come pick Alexis up, she isn't suspened since this is her first time to the principal's office, but I think it would be best if she took the rest of the day off."
"Sure, I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Good." Click. I take Talia out of her high-chair, grab my keys, and lock the door behind me.
Alexis's Point of View
I'd really expected my mom to be mad.
"Does that girl have a black eye?" my mom asks, sounding impressed.
"If not now, tomorrow." I say.
"Good girl for sticking up for yourself, I'm sorry my advice didn't work."
"Oh, well, I don't think she'll be calling me names anymore."
"I'm so proud of you."
"Thank you." she hugs me.
Hmmmmm...? You know I love hearing your opinions. So, review! Please. I have to remember my manners.
Another sneak peak you might wonder? Here it is:
Mine- Christina Perri
Kate's point of view
"A secret hidden behind a pretty smile," Lanie says, "And it's mine."
"Oh, come in, Lanie, I told you when Rick and I started dating."
"You and Castle are different, it was expected of you two, it's not expected with us."
Who is Lanie dating? And why won't she tell Kate his name? Please review!
Love, Alexis
