Read and Review
Oh, before I forgot: I started a new story. It is called "Backing Home". Please check it and tell me what you think. It would mean a lot to me. Thank you.
14th October
It was morning soon and Stacy was already waked up. "Can I go back in time?" Stacy asked herself. She was feeling that her life was upside down since the rumour incident.
Getting up from her bed, Stacy walked to the closet. Opening it, she took from there a jacket - I have to clean my head - Stacy whispered to herself and walked out of her bedroom.
- So, you wake up at this hour to go run - Candice whispered looking by her bedroom window to Punk. "I could start waking up at the same hour to go run with you" Candice thought walking to her bed "But then I wouldn't be waked up for the classes".
A little mad, she let herself fall into the bed. She needed to make something to him notice her. But what could she do?
Picking up her cell phone, Candice marked Torrie's number. It took a while to the blonde answer, but she did it.
- What do you want? - Torrie asked. Candice could notice that Torrie was sleeping.
- What do I do? I want him to notice me and I just can't a figure out a way to such thing happen - Candice exclaimed - And before you tell me that he has a girlfriend, I know it. But they can always break up.
- Ok - Torrie said trying to pay attention to Candice, but it was being hard.
- Maybe I should start throwing myself to him. I wouldn't look a whore right? - Candice said with a little smile on her face - I can't always play innocent and don't know he has a girlfriend. And I can't forget that his brother is nice with me, so he likes me. What do you think about it?
- Ok - Torrie said once again without hear what Candice was saying - Do it.
- Thanks Tor - Candice said and hung up the cell phone. "Mission get the neighbour is going to start" she thought with a big smile.
"Let's not wake up anyone" Trish thought to herself backing home. It was morning and if their parents figured out that she went out home last night and only backed now, she would be dead.
- Where have you been Trish? - she heard her mother's voice coming from the living room.
- Hi mom - Trish said and showed a little smile. She needed a good excuse or she was going to be dead.
- Where did you spend the night? - the woman asked. Trish could notice that she was mad - Where did you spend the night? Did you forget you have classes today?
- Amy needed me - Trish lied. If she told her mother that she spent the night with Jeff, she would be send to a boarding school- She and her boyfriend, Matt, got mad and she called me at the middle of the night and I went to her house. I tried to tell, but you were already sleeping and I didn't want to wake you up.
- Trish, you went out without authorization - she replied - I don't care if your friend got mad with her boyfriend or not. You shouldn't have went out without my or yours father permission.
- I'm sorry - Trish said walking to the stairs - I will get ready for school.
- I want to talk with Amy's mother to make sure you were there - she told Trish - Can you give me her number?
- Sure - Trish said losing her smile and turned to her mother. "I have to call Amy and make sure she will lie" Trish thought to herself - I'll just get ready to school and then you can call her.
- I want to call her now - she advised - Give me the number right now.
- Yes, Trish slept here last night - Amy told Trish's mother and then heard her asking to talk with her mother - She is busy, right now. I can tell her to call you later, Mrs. Stragias.
- I would love to talk with her now, if she doesn't mind. It is urgent - the woman said and Amy walked out of her bedroom.
- I'll see if she can talk with you - Amy replied. "Trish, you own me one" Amy thought to herself, ready to fake her mother's voice.
- So soon? - John's father questioned his son, when saw him already ready to leave - Where are you going?
- School - John answered and walked to the main door.
- You never wake up so soon to go to school - he replied a little suspicious. John wasn't the type of student who would wake up soon to go school, in fact, if he could he would only wake up to go to the basketball trains.
- I'm not going to do anything stupid - John told him. He knew his father and he knew about what he was thinking - I'm not going to get into a fight, I'm not going to buy drugs, I'm not going to get in the middle of problems. I'm only going to school - with those words he walked out of his house.
"You have been too strange kid" John's father thought to himself. He knew something was going on with his son, he only didn't know what was.
James was walking to the kitchen when saw Stacy opening the front door. A little surprised, he stayed looking to her.
- Where have you been? - he questioned her.
- I went out last night and only backed now - Stacy replied and locked the door. To clean her head, she had decided to take a walk by the neighbourhood - Didn't you notice that I spent the all night out?
- I'll make the breakfast - James said and entered in the kitchen and Stacy followed him - By the way, Happy Birthday.
- Thanks - Stacy said - You are going to make me your famous breakfast, right?
- Yes - James replied and opened the fridge - I only make it in important occasions and your birthday is one of them.
- Are you going you to allow me to get my license? - Stacy asked him.
- Go dreaming - James told her - I don't want you to drive. Too many crazy teenagers in those roads killing people.
- Thanks dad - Stacy said with sarcasm - I don't want my license to start killing people - she waited for him to say something, but he never did - I'm going to get ready for school - with those words, she walked out of the kitchen.
"I know it, but I don't want anything wrong to happen with you" James thought to himself.
- So, are you guys going to the "Impulse Party" this Friday? - Kelly asked sitting at John and Chris's side - I heard it was going to be a blast.
- Do you really want to know if I'm going? - Chris asked Kelly only to be hit by John under the table. Kelly stayed looking to him confused, but very quickly looked to John.
- Are you going? - Kelly questioned him.
- I don't know - John answered - But probably I'll.
- Great - Kelly said putting on her feet and walked to Brie and Nikki with the biggest smile on her face. "I'll have an opportunity".
- Why did you hit me? - Chris asked John when Kelly left - You know damn well that she doesn't care if I'm going or not. She only cares about you. I can't believe you are dumb enough to not know that Kelly likes you.
- I know it pretty well - John replied - But I'm trying to make sure that she won't think I want something more with her than friendship.
- She is hot - Chris said - Why don't you want her?
- I guess she isn't hot enough - John exclaimed and saw a malicious smile on Chris's lips - What?
- I guess, you think our coach's daughter is hotter - Chris said and saw Katie passing in the hall. "If she goes to the party, I'll find out what she wants from me" he thought to himself.
- No, I don't. We are only friends. Well, we were friends until someone started this stupid rumour - John told him.
- Two hot blondes and you are only friend with them and - Chris said and started pushing his desk far from John's desk - Do you have something to tell me? You can trust in me. I'm an open mind.
- Why do I have the feeling that you won't to live for the party? - John questioned Chris, not too happy with what he was suggesting.
- Happy Birthday - Candice and Torrie yelled at the same time and hugged Stacy.
- Thanks - Stacy said and showed a smile.
- Is he going to give you it? - Torrie asked Stacy breaking the hug.
- If you are talking about my license, no, he isn't going to give me it - Stacy told her - I asked him this morning and his answered was "no".
- Did he really tell you "no"? - Candice questioned her and Stacy nodded with her head. He haven't said "no", but it was pretty clear for what he told her that the answer was "no" - I'm more irresponsible than you and I have a license.
- My father doesn't want me to get in the middle of an accident and kill people - Stacy explained to them.
- Candice has more opportunities to get in troubles than you. If I had to bet in each one would have a car accident first, it would be Candice - Torrie said.
- Thank you - Candice said with sarcasm - May I know what kind of friend you are? I'm not such a bar driver.
- Changing conversation - Stacy said before those two started hitting each other - How are the preparations for the Carnival?
- We have a booth without anyone - Torrie told Stacy - We were going to put someone there after a big favour we have done for her, but then we realized it was better to make her do another thing
- Why I have the feeling that you are talking about me - Stacy replied - The "Kissing Booth" doesn't have anyone, right?
- Right - Candice and Torrie said at the same time - Do you know if someone would like to go to the Kissing Booth? - Candice asked Stacy. Stacy tried to answer, but Candice didn't let her - Are we going out to commemorate your birthday?
- No. I'm not allowed to do nothing. My mother doesn't want me to walk out in the night with classes in the morning - Stacy explained to them - About the "Kissing Booth"...
- But, we can go out this Friday - Torrie said - Only us and some other girls. It would be fun.
- I preferred to not do anything, if you don't mind. I'm not really into my birthday this year. Next year, I'll do something - Stacy replied and noticed they were ready to say something more - Please listen me - the blonde say very quickly "Where am I going to get into?" Stacy thought to herself. After what she was going to say next, there was no turning back - I know who can stay in the "Kissing Booth".
- I'm going to kill you - Amy said when finally found out Trish - How could you do it to me?
- It was only a little lie - Trish said showing an innocent smile - It could have been worse.
- What is worse than talk with your mother and lying to her about you sleep over in my house and my discussion with Matt that never happened? - Amy questioned her, without wait for an answer - If I really get mad with Matt, get ready to die.
- Why would you get mad with Matt? - Trish asked her - Is something wrong between you two?
- No, but there is a thing called "karma" - Amy replied crossing her arms.
- C'mon Amy, nothing wrong will happen - Trish said turning around, only to go against Randy who was entering in the classroom. He only looked to her - Sorry - Trish whispered, but he didn't her because he was already into the classroom - He is creepy.
- No, he is evil - Amy exclaimed.
- I wonder why he is like that - Trish whispered to herself, but Amy heard it.
- Do I have to talk with Jeff? - Amy said with a malicious smile.
- Good morning girls - Ashley said walking to their side - Why do you need to talk with Jeff?
- Just to try to get Trish is trouble after what she did to me - Amy replied without take her eyes from the petit blonde.
- That is not funny - Trish said getting mad.
- So, what did she do? - Ashley asked, noticing the way how Trish was. It was better to not make questions about it.
- So, what is better than walk in the mall with your two best friends in your birthday day? - Torrie exclaimed when she, Candice and Stacy entered in the mall - There is nothing better than this.
- Hurray - Stacy whispered. Why was everyone happy with her birthday?
- Do you really want to do it? - Candice asked Stacy who looked to her confused - Do you really want to go to the Kissing Booth?
- Yes. I don't see anything wrong with it - Stacy replied.
- Does your father know about it? - Torrie questioned her - Because I'm sure, he wouldn't allow you to kiss guys for money.
- I lost my boyfriend, everyone thinks I'm a whore, I can't play basket and my brother is getting more annoying each day. My life is getting boring - Stacy explained to them - And as everyone thinks I'm a whore, there is nothing wrong if they see me kissing guys for money.
- What happened to our Stacy? - Torrie exclaimed.
- She was left home - Stacy said with a smile. Grabbing their hands, she pushed them inside some store.
- No...no...no - Kelly whispered getting mad. She couldn't find a dress she liked - I need something to dress in the party.
- What do you think about this? - Brie said showing her a dress, but she ignored the girl.
- I already walked around the all store and I didn't find anything I liked - Kelly exclaimed.
- We can always go to another store - Brie suggested trying to calm down Kelly. In the past days, the girl had become a little annoying.
- We already went to all the clothes stores in this mall - Kelly almost yelled - I'm not going to find anything. He won't look to me like I want him to do.
In that moment they saw Nikki running to them. She tried to speak, but it was being hard.
- What happened? - Brie asked her sister confused.
- He is here - Nikki stuttered and looked to Kelly - I was backing from the bathroom and I saw John.
- I'll be right back - Kelly said with a big smile leaving the other two behind.
- Why did you do it? - Brie asked her sister - Now, we will have to handle her yelling with us because John didn't give a damn about her.
- At least now, we can look to clothes for us without having Kelly yelling with us because she can't find a dress she wants - Nikki said and showed a smile - Let's get pretty to the party.
"Why the hell am I in the mall?" John thought to himself "Oh right, I'm running from my father".
- I'm the luckiest person in the World - John exclaimed when saw one of the twins entering in a store. Where the twins were, Kelly was. And if she had seen him, he would have to handle Kelly.
"I have to find new places to hide from my father" John thought to himself turning around only to see Stacy with other two girls. "This is my chance to talk with her and try to resolve what is going on" John thought to himself walking to her, but then stopped "Why the hell do I want to resolve what is going on?".
- Just do it - John whispered to himself "How am I going to start this? There is nothing more I can do" John thought to himself trying to find a way to talk with Stacy without look stupid. It didn't take him too long to see her alone, without any of the other two girls at her side. Walking to her, John sat at her side in the bench - Can I talk with you?
Very surprised, Stacy looked to him - I won't talk with my father - Stacy replied taking her eyes of him and put on her feet ready to leave. "Why am I not feeling mad with you?" Stacy asked herself a little confused. After what happened, last thing she would want was to see him again, but it wasn't what she was feeling. In fact, she liked to have him at her side. "Fine, this is weird"
- I really don't give a damn if you talk with your father or not. I'm already used having someone annoying me twenty four hours per day. So, another one would be easy for me to handle - John told her. Putting on his feet he decided to follow her - Look, I didn't start the rumour. I have no idea who started it and I don't know why that person told it was me who started - Stacy stopped walking and turned to him. John waited for her to speak, but Stacy didn't say a word - You don't know me that well and you have no reasons to believe in me, but do you think I would lose my time trying to convince you that it wasn't my fault if it was?
- As you said I don't know you that well - Stacy said - Can you stop following me?
- You and Randy aren't together anymore. It means I wouldn't have more interest in you - John explained to Stacy, hoping she would believe in him - I wouldn't care if you thought I was a jerk or not. I would have already done what I wanted.
- You have a point - Stacy whispered and looked around to see where Candice and Torrie were. Why did they need to leave her alone?
- Did you believe in a word I said? - John questioned her "Why do I have the feeling that I never done anything so stupid?" John asked himself without take her eyes from her - You didn't, right?
- Do you know who started it? - Stacy asked him. "Yes, I do believe in you" Stacy thought to herself and bit her lip. Who could have started such rumour?
- As you, I would love to know who was - John replied and showed a smile - Do I have to ask if you forgive me?
- Even if you didn't do anything? - Stacy asked and showed a smile too.
- Yeah, even if I didn't do anything - John repeated her - I'm really sorry if happened something bad to you because of this situation.
Stacy stayed a moment without say word "He is telling me sorry for something he didn't do" Stacy thought to herself - You are excused. After all, you helped me when I hurt my ankle. You can't be too bad.
- Thanks, I guess - John replied getting ready to leave - See you another day...I don't know if you are going to the "Impulse" party or not, but if you, I are hope to see you there. Bye.
- Bye - Stacy said and watched him leaving "What party is that?" Stacy asked herself and in that moment felt someone grabbing each one of her arms. Looking to her side, she saw Candice and Torrie.
- What was that? - Torrie asked with a little smile on her lips - Who is he?
- Isn't the guy who got you in problems? - Candice asked. Both of the girls waited for Stacy to answer, but the answer never came.
- When is the "Impulse" party? - Stacy finally spoke. "I think I got as nice birthday present" she thought to herself and bit her lip.
I'm sorry for the spelling and grammar mistakes (English isn't my first language).
