Short Chapter but next update will be Sonny's POV.
I stayed at home Thursday to rest. I woke up early Friday morning, and readied myself for school, while praying silently all morning that I wouldn't run into Sonny.
As I walked to my locker, I kept my head down and tried to think positively. I picked out the books I needed, and shut my locker. When I turned around, Sonny stood across the hall watching me. Our eyes met for a second, and then I looked away and walked to class.
The day passed without him bothering me, or even looking at me, and part of me was a little upset that he pretended not to notice me. The other part of me was happy. Maybe he would just ignore me from now on, and my life could go back to what it was before he came along. But shouldn't he be bullying me worse now? The thought lingered throughout my walk home.
I spotted Tyler sitting on the front step, and wondered briefly why he was here, but I was glad for his company. He stood up when I made it halfway down the driveway, and walked over to me.
"Hey, is it okay if I come hang out here for awhile?" He gave me a smile, and I shrugged. "If you want."
I walked inside the house, with him close behind me. I dropped my bag beside the door and collapsed on the couch.
I felt Maka jump into my lap and I scratched her behind the ears. I heard Tyler chuckle quietly. "She's cute. What'd you say her name is again?" I had told him about Maka the day before, but I guessed he'd forgotten her name.
"Maka." I smiled at the kitten.
"She needs a collar, don't you think?" He shot me a grin as the kitten leaped off the couch and pounced on him.
"Mmm.." I sighed. "She does..."
"Wanna go to the pet store later and find one?" He picked the kitten up and she squeaked at him.
"Sure." I smiled as he sat down next to me, and he put an arm around my shoulder. I couldn't help wishing it was Sonny who was doing all of this for me. As soon as the thought crossed my mind, I cursed mentally. That wasn't right to even consider. Tyler was doing all he could for me, I should appreciate it!
I did though... but there was still Sonny. The criminal. The delinquent. He seemed broken... and I wanted to fix him somehow.
If only he'd let me.
