A/N: Because you guys are SOOO amazing, literally!, here's another update(;
Thank you all for reviewing, especially the newcomers! |m/ Rock on xD
Sorry if it seems rushed but I don't want to drag out this story longer than it needs to be c(:
This chapter goes out to ' Pretty little fiction321 ' because this person has such low faith in my updates(; See? I only kept you waiting for 3 days c(: xD
I skim through my textbook, reading random excerpts. I tap the end of the pencil on the table, making a fast paced rhythmic beat. I sigh as I look around the library, people either searching for a book or socializing with their friends. I lift my wrist to check the time on my watch. Over half an hour late. I rolled my eyes and decided to shut my book, picking up all my stuff and exiting the school library. I took out my phone as I jumped inside my car.
Me: Guy never showed up for tutoring smh. Does your offer for the movies still stand?
I texted Caitlyn and began to drive back to my place. About a minute later my phone rung. I unlocked my screen and saw the message icon with a number two on the top right of it.
Best Friend: Told you it was a waste of time. And duh. I'm on my way
I smiled at the text and closed it opening up the other unread message.
Head Bitch: Why do you keep fucking texting me? Just fucking leave me alone. I don't even care.
It took me a couple of seconds to finally realize Alex texted me back. I sent her numerous of messages trying to apologize and tell her the truth but all she did was ignore them. I look at the date of the message and growled internally realizing she sent this last night. I quickly hit the reply button and started typing up my text.
Me: Just listen to me dammit! Why are you being so stubborn?
Surprisingly enough she responded right away.
Head Bitch: Look why does it even matter? We were never even friends to begin with. I just spoke to you because I needed that A for our project. Now leave me alone!
Me: It matters to me!
As an instinct I wrote those four letters down so fast that I didn't have a chance to process it. After hitting the send button I narrowed my eyebrows. Why does it even matter to me?
Head Bitch: Yeah well it doesn't to me. Lose my number! Bye. If you text me again I swear I'll block your number.
I exhaled deeply, both frustrated and angry. I jammed my key inside the lock of my door, stepping inside. I immediately threw my phone towards the couch, not even caring to know if I missed or not. I walk into my bathroom to look at myself. I rolled my eyes at how pathetic I looked. I grabbed my hair and tied it up in a tight pony tail.
I took off my shirt and replaced it with a tank top that had a cut out design of a skull in the back. I changed my shoes into my vans and washed my teeth quickly. I heard a knock on my door and already knew it was Caitlyn. I walked out of the bathroom and opened up the front door.
Caitlyn was wearing ripped skinnies riding low, sagging enough to show her girl boxers. She had on a red flannel shirt, and a loose beanie that matched her jeans. I smirked at her in which she calls me out on. I roll my eyes and close the door behind me.
"You're so gay bro" I told her and she laughed, as we walked to her car.
"Bisexual!" She corrects me and I roll my eyes.
"Same shit" I teased her knowing how irritated she gets when I call her gay.
"You're just a slut who wants everybody" I continued and she glared at me, punching my shoulder.
"Bitch, sorry that my heart is big enough to love everyone" She jokingly remarks and I let out a fake cough.
-Cough- "Whore" -Cough- She flicked me off and I giggled.
"Nah, I'm good. I'm not attracted to whores" I stuck out my tongue at her and her eyebrows rise up.
"Oh yeah? Well that's a damn lie, cause you're attracted to Russo" She quickly shoots back at me. It was definitely unexpected and I couldn't even think of a comeback. She surely just found a way to shut me up. I wanted to defend Alex but it would have only been false confirmation of the situation, meaning she would continuously tease me. I look out the window, not replying to her, but just stared out at the road signs we kept on passing.
XxXxX
I walked inside the school building with Caitlyn by my side. Class didn't start for another half an hour so we both decided to grab breakfast from the cafeteria. We sat down at our regular spots, and for once we both entered an awkward atmosphere of silence. She looked down at her food and began eating. She'd throw glances at me as did I, to ensure that we both weren't mad at each other, we just didn't have anything to say.
I started to drink my milk, then kept on staring at the small carton. As if the labels now were so interesting. The entire weekend I tried spending it with Caitlyn as a distraction. The whole Alex situation just kept bugging me, I guess I just felt bad. As always, I proved to be the same as everybody else, talking bad behind her back. I look up to the far side of the room, catching the bathroom sign above two separate doors.
"I'm gonna head to the bathroom, I'll be right back" I tell Caitlyn as she nods. I make my way towards the girl's bathroom, not even in the mood to pee but just to splash water in my face. Before I opened the door I came in contact with Alex who was only a couple feet away from me, buying a drink from the vending machine. We both stopped dead on our tracks, just staring at each other. I couldn't read her eyes, they were just plain. I let go of the door handle and turned my body to her, planning to speak to her once and for all. However, I see her head slightly turn as two other cheerleaders came beside her.
That's when her eyes changed. Whether they displayed anger or sorrow, they changed, rapidly. She walked up to me, she had this look on her face that was just so confusing. Midway, getting closer to me as I stayed still, her other hand reached for the top of her drink. She opened it once she was a feet away from me, her friends still behind her. That's when I feel a shivering cold wet liquid drip over my head. My hair drenched, sticking to my face as my eyes shut tight and my mouth fell open, not able to process any yells or words. The cheerleaders laughed and it was only a matter of seconds that everyone else in the room joined in.
She soaked me entirely with her Gatorade, then when all the substance exited the bottle, she threw the plastic at me, hitting my chest. She rolls her eyes, laughing at me, then turns around and walks away. My throat was still clogged up, I couldn't even say a single word. The laughs in the background continued, bringing me back to reality of embarrassment. I looked all around to catch all eyes on me. I clenched my fists and immediately saw Caitlyn run up to me. She grabbed me and pulled me into the bathroom.
"Get out!" She yells out to the girls who were talking in front of the mirror. They gave her a nasty look but decided to exit the stalls. Caitlyn then looked at me, shaking her head, her eyes read completely pissed. She threw her book bag onto the counter, opening it up. She took out a mini towel and started to wipe my face clean. I stayed silent still as she helped me to get cleaned up.
"Who did this to you? I swear I'm going to fuck them up. No one is allowed to mess with you!" She semi yelled, her hands in a tight fist, almost as if her nails were going to draw blood from her palm, going into complete overprotective mode. I shook my head not responding. I was kind of glad she didn't witness it happen, I deserved this, maybe that's why I never did anything back to Alex. I hear Caitlyn sigh, then proceeds to shut her eyes, letting her hands relax. She walked up to the door and locked it.
I witness her pull her shirt over her head, leaving her in her bra. My eyebrows rose in confusion and she rolled her eyes at me, already reading my mind. She reached the hem of my drenched shirt that was stuck to my body.
"C'mon, you're soaked, you're gonna get sick." She pulled off my shirt and gave me hers, I shook my head feeling bad but she kept insisting.
"What are you gonna wear?" I asked her and immediately she took out her gym shirt from her bag and pulled it on. I gave her a small smile at the gesture and changed into her shirt. She went behind me and placed all my semi wet hair in a messy bun, taking out her own hair tie, letting her hair down just to help me. She then turned my body and grabbed her mini towel again, turning the faucet on, wetting it a bit. She grabbed my face and wiped gently all around my eyes. I saw the black forming on the towel. She was taking off the smudged eyeliner and mascara I had on. She finally set everything down and gave me a sad smile, then brought me into a comforting hug.
"This isn't middle school no more. I promise you're not going through all that ever again. Karma's a bitch" She whispered to me, caressing my hair, I hugged her tighter, shutting my eyes, not wanting tears to storm out.
"Thank you" I whispered to her, followed by an 'I love you'. Moments like these always remind me why Caitlyn will always be my best friend, because she's the only one who's cared so much about me. No matter all the times we annoy each other, I will always be grateful for her standing next to me through everything.
XxXxX
Days passed and Caitlyn has tried to stay with me at all times. Making sure no one messes with me. She still doesn't know it was Alex who embarrassed me in front of people, I refuse to admit it to her. I guess the head cheerleader isn't so dumb herself because she doesn't dare try to do anything in front of Caitlyn, it's obvious that she's intimidated by my best friend. Probably for the first time during this week, Caitlyn wasn't next to me since we had separate classes this block. I was walking to my locker ready to meet up with her.
Out of nowhere, my stuff from my hands goes all over the floor. Alex walking past me, not even looking back as she slapped my books out of my hand. I shut my eyes angrily, trying to control my temper, I kneeled down on the ground, picking up my loose papers. I see Caitlyn come out of nowhere, helping me grab my books. I forced a smile as she handed me my stuff, walking me to my locker. She didn't even bother asking me who did it because she knew I wouldn't answer. I opened up my locker, throwing everything inside it angrily. Caitlyn sighed, rubbing my back, trying to calm me down. I bit my tongue and breathed in and out.
She finally stopped as my heart beat went back to normal, she opened up her locker and whispered a low 'shit'. Shutting her locker again. I looked at her curiously and she checked her watch quickly.
"I left my fucking textbook, I'll be right back" She said and I nodded. She immediately ran off to the other hallway, I knew she was hoping no one else took it. I looked back into my locker, just staring at all the shit. From my far right, I could hear a small argument, gradually increasing. It was between a guy and girl but they weren't close enough for me to figure out who it was. I looked straight ahead not wanting to eavesdrop, nor was I that curious.
I was about to reach inside when my locker slammed shut, almost taking out my hand. I let out a loud 'fuck' feeling my hands shake, then turned around ready to bitch out someone. Before I had a chance, my body was held against the lockers.
"Yo, stop stalking my fucking girlfriend! I don't appreciate you always texting her. Leave her alone and get a fucking life!" The quarterback yells out to me, his grasp on both my arms getting stronger, I wanted to let out a yelp but I bit my tongue not wanting to sound weak. I stayed quiet, breathing out from my nose. I see Alex come up from behind him, tugging his shoulder towards her.
"Babe just let her go, you're gonna get in trouble" She tries to reason with him. He shoved her off of him, not enough for her to fall but enough to stumble backwards. I felt my blood boil, I was ready to knock him out entirely, and I was never the fighting type. He saw my fists forming and smirked.
"Oh? Getting a little defensive huh? What are you gonna do about it?" He mutters to me and my eyebrows narrow, my chest expanding by the second. I opened my mouth, but get interrupted by another voice.
"Um excuse me but you dropped something" I see Caitlyn tapping his shoulder. He turns to her completely irritated, then looks to the ground. Right away with full force she kicked him straight in the balls. He lets go of me as he fell onto the ground, holding his crotch.
"Fucking dyke!" He yells out to her, his veins popping out of his neck by the pain coursing through his body. Right when he said that, her fist made contact with the side of his face. Everyone around gasped as blood came dripping out from his nose.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on my best friend you fucking asshole!" She screamed out to him. How the teachers haven't even shown up yet, surprised me. He fell frontwards on the ground.
"Fucking dramatic, stop grunting, you know damn sure you have no dick for that to actually hurt!" She continued causing the other students to slightly laugh at the comment. I stayed against the lockers, completely shocked at the turn of events. Then I see Caitlyn turn around, making eye contact with the head cheerleader.
My best friend's fist turned her knuckles white as she slowly started walking towards Alex, Caitlyn's face completely filled with fury. By now, she knew completely. She was getting closer to Alex by the second who just stayed in place. Cait lifted her fist in the air and right away I semi yelled 'stop' to her. She turned her head towards me still not breaking eye contact with Alex. I could tell she was pissed that I said that but none the less she dropped her hand beside her.
She makes one more step forward to her, glaring at her.
"I don't know exactly what happened between you and Mitch but get your shit together or you'll be dealing with me. She's not always gonna be around to stop me and trust me it'll be a pleasure beating your ass" Caitlyn whispers to her, low enough for everyone else not to hear, but high enough for only us three to hear. She stares at her for a couple more seconds then walks away towards me.
"Want something?!" Caitlyn yells out to the group of kids, who quickly scattered out of the hallway. She then grabs my hand and drags me to our next period. Leaving the football player still on the ground, struggling to get up, and Alex frozen in place.
XxXxX
"You sure you don't want me to go over there?" Caitlyn asks concerned as I dropped my materials onto the table.
"Nah the guy is probably not gonna show up anyways. Don't worry about it" I whisper into the phone hearing the librarian hush me. I roll my eyes at her and proceed to sit down.
"Look I have to go. I'll call you when I want you to pick me up. Bye babe" I said in the same volume, hearing her sigh.
"Fine, just be careful. Love ya" She said into the phone followed by a small beep signaling the call ended. I look at my phone's home screen to check the time. If this guy doesn't show up in ten minutes, I'm so leaving.
I start reading the chapter in the textbook, wanting to get started on my homework. I hear the clacking of heels against the hard floor, then it disappears once reaching carpet. I keep my head down but glance upwards to catch a female standing in place, tapping her feet. They were moving to the right and left, she was probably looking for someone. Her bare legs left my view as she walked away, going who knows where. I continued to read on but the librarian's voice caused me to stop.
"Ah yes, your tutor is waiting for you right over there" She says and I knew that was my cue. I stuck my pencil in between the book, bookmarking what I was reading, then shut it closed. I stood up ready to greet the student. My eyes caught her legs again and I immediately darted away, gradually moving my view higher up her body. Before reaching her face, a mutter made me quickly glance up.
"Oh. Hell. No." She dragged out as we came eye to eye. The same words screaming in my head.
"Fuck" I let out as Alex Russo crossed her arms in front of her. I swear god hates me.
Yess, Mitchie is Alex's tutor(; How do you guys think the next chapter will go?
Don't forget to review!(: The more you guys leave your thoughts the faster I'll update c(;
Chapter 7 clue... "let the games begin"
Obviously Caitlyn will be a very conflicting character. It'll be a love and hate thing going on with her. Overall you guys just have to understand she's just very protective of her best friend, as shown in this chapter. But eventually you guys will see the real her(;
