Chapter 4: GET OVER IT!!!!
Shortly after or more like two seconds after Zack left angel came busting through the door huffing as if she had ran all the way from school but I knew she just came from her bedroom that's close to mine. "who-were-you-talk-ing-too!!" she said taking in a deep breath after every word.
"what are you talking about-" I was cut off by angel after she caught her breath.
"don't try to deniey it your room is so close to mine and I heard your voice and someone ealses!" she snapped.
"like who's?" I questioned her but I knew what the answer to that might be.
She stared at me for as second then she stud up straight took a deep breath. "Zack's!" she hissed.
At that point I was surprised and didn't know what to do so I stared at her with my eyes wide before I started laughing. theres no way she would know that Zack was actually here! she looked at me with a confused look on her face.
"WHAT'S SO FUNNY!" she yelled but not loud enough for anyone to wake up. Well at leased not in this house.
"why would Zack come to my room? Are you serious you thought you heard him? You probably heard my radio! I just turned it off." I giggled as I pointed to my radio next to me.
"no I heard him I know that voice anywhere!" she said as her face started to turn red with anger.
"angel!" I stopped laughing knowing that she dosent like to be laughed at. "think about it why would Zack like me let alone come into my room?" said softly to her trying to make my voice as convincing as possible 'cause I'm a really bad lier but it wasn't hard because I belived what I said probably more than she did.
I watched as the red heat disappeared from her face then she started laughing an I stared in surprise because I had no Idea why she was laughing. "your right. What was I thinking?" she laughed even harder as she looked up an slapped her for head with the palm of her hand. "what would Zack ever see in you." she walked away with a mocking smile and slammed my door shut as she walked out back into her room.
I felt the anger bottling up and I turned my anger into sadness instead because I don't want to feel hate. I lowered my head. angels right what would he ever see in me he just wants her to get jelouse 'cause he dosent like her. I felt a wet drop on my pants an I realized I was crying.
When I woke the next morning to the sound of an imaginary alarm clock that I must have made up in my head 'cause I didn't turn on my alarm clock but the imaginary alarm in my head woke me at 5:00 am exactly. My face felt dry an tight as I realized I cried myself to sleep I wondered why I got up so early!
I off my confusion. Got out of bed, washed my face with a cold wet washcloth, an got my clothes on and when down stairs to eat breakfast just as aunt rosa was calling for angel to wake up.
"well do you want to tell her or do you want me to?" matt said to aunt rosa as I sat down at the kitchen table. I watched aunt rosa sigh before replying.
"well angel?" I stared at her in confusion. "I have agreed to let your friend Zack come over for dinner tonight."
Before I could even be surprised or shocked at her for being nice to me angel walked in right when her mom said his name. "ZACK!!" angels face was covered in ever emotion you could think of before she looked angry. "why is Zack coming over for dinner." she gave me an accusing glare as if I was to blame.
"angel, your cousin made a friend at school an I'm going to be nice like I always am and let him come over." aunt rosa smiled a smiled that didn't seem to reach her eyes before saying she was gonna be late for work kissing matt on the cheek grabbing her keys and walking out the door.
After angels mom left she took the opportunity to yell at me. "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING WHY WOULD YOU INVITE ZACK OVER." she closed her eyes and thought about it for a minute before speaking again this time a lot calmer. "never mind I'm sure he'll reject you anyway." she flicked her wrist and walked over to her seat an a look on her face telling everyone that she was so sure of herself.
I felt my anger starting to boil. I know her and everyone eles is right about me and Zack being together but I was getting tired and annoyed hearing it and getting put down about it. I balled my fist and tried to calm down a little before speaking to her knowing I might end up hitting her then Zack wouldn't be able to come over. I took in a deep breath and held it before I breathed it out. Once I knew I was calmer and not going to hit her I spoke.
"acutally angel I already asked Zack and he is coming so get over it." I snapped at her and she backed up a little in her seat a crossed from me.
She stared at me for a minute. " Zack turned down all my offers to visit my home and besides its like six in the morning how did you talk to Zack about it already?" she glared at me aquisingly.
I stared in surprise not knowing what to tell her. what am I going to do theres no way she can know that she was right about Zack being in my room last night. I thought fast. and phillip and matt are watching I don't need to get into trouble an Zack wont be able to come over for dinner. I felt around in my pocket as I thought fast for an excuse, as I slowly pulled out a piece of paper from my pocket my expression changed into a smirk.
"I have his number." I waved the piece of paper in her face. It was the piece of paper Zack had givin to me last night that I swore he was messing with me and it was the wrong number. I smiled at the expression on angels face as her jaw dropped and her face turned red with anger as I knew she was jelouse.
"THAT'S NOT FOR YOU AND YOU KNOW IT!! GIVE ME THE NOTE!!" angel screamed. "ZACK DOSENT SEE ANYTHING IN YOU!!" she yelled trying more to convince herself more than me as she reached over the table and tried to snatch my note. "HE LIKES ME AND YOU KNOW IT!!"
I moved my hand further away from her as she reached. "no way, this isn't yours angel I'm sure if it was for you he would have givin it to you and not me." I told her as she tried reaching for the note again and I moved. Her faced turned even more red.
"NO HE MADE A MISTAKE!! EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES JUST LIKE YOUR PARENTS DID WHEN THE MADE YOU, YOU FREACK!!" she screamed at me. After that I just didn't feel like taking it anymore I felt the heat rush to my face and my fist balled as my hands started to shake. I know Zack is to good for me. I know he doesn't see anything in me. And I know he's probably messing with me and leading me on just to make angel jealous because he has no interested in her. And most of all I know I don't have a chance with him…BUT I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!
"ANGEL THAT'S IT I'VE HAD ENOUGH YOU'RE A SELFISH BITCH AND THAT'S ALL YOU'VE EVER BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE IF YOU DON'T STOP BEING SO SELF SENTERED YOU CANT GET OVER THE FACT THAT SOMEONE LIKES ME AND NOT YOU!!" I started to huff then continued. "SO JUST…GET OVER IT!!!!" I yelled at her huffing and I knew by the look on her face she had nothing left to say. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out so she pressed her lips together.
"whatever!" she flicked wrist her grabbed her backpack and stormed out the door slamming it on her way out.
I was so mad I couldn't say anything we all just stud there in silence and didn't move for several minutes. Matt walked over to the me and sat beside me. "angel?" I didn't speak. I couldn't I felt like if I opened my mouth I'll explode on the wrong person and hurt someone. "that was awsome, angel you finally yelled at her I'm so prod of you!! She finally got what she disserves after causing everyone pain."
I still couldn't speak I didn't want to hurt anyone so I sat there and cooled down a bit before I spoke. "I just couldn't take it anymore she dose it to so many people. I feel angry at her and I'm not use to that I don't like feeling hate but she makes people hate her. I don't want to hate her." I bent my head down and tried to turn my hate for her on myself.
"angel theres nothing wrong with telling as it is. You were right she's selfish and needed to know that if she didn't already. Ether way you were right and theres no reason for you to be upset about your actions." matt tried to convince me but I don't think I wanted to believe it. I wanted hate to be gone I-I wanted to be loved not hated like I know feel. I don't want to be hated and other people don't want to be hated and I know that I just couldn't get off the fact that it was wrong for me to hate her. That I should love her not hate her.
"I just don't want to hate her." I looked at the note and tucked it into my pocket.
"angel you don't hate her. I know you don't just because you say hateful words dosent mean you hate her it just means your really close. Or she's not as close to you as you are of her." I was speechless at matt's words so speechless I just blinded.
Matt gave me time to cool down a little more before giving me some money before I walked out the front door.
I stepped out the door and as I was shutting it I seen him. Sitting on the front porch waiting. I stud there and blinked in confusion.
"what are you doing here." thinking about how long he might have been here, if he waited to long in this fall-almost-winter cold, or if he seen angels rampage. I guessed not because knowing her she would have stayed out here and talked to him. He had to come after she left and got a distance away.
"I figured that since you didn't ride a bus that you would want someone to walk you to and from school." he smiled and I couldn't help but smile back.
He held his arms out in a hug. I hugged him and he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me firmly for a long while that left me in a daze when he released me from his strong but gentle embrace.
"thanks." I bowed my head and didn't know what else to say. "are you still coming over for dinner?" I looked up at him.
"do you still want me to come over for dinner?" he asked in amusement.
"oh yes what girl wouldn't want Zack Hemming the hottest guy at school to come over to their house for dinner." I smirked and laughed a bit.
"well I guess your right who wouldn't want the hottest guy at school to go to their house and embarrassed their cousin!" he smirked as he cupped his hands behind his head.
My face turned from jokingly sarcastic to serious and surprise and almost alarm. "your not going to do anything to angel are you?"
"maybe?" he smiled at me. But I wasn't buying it I was completely serious I don't want angel freaking on me.
"Zack?!!" I glared at him accusingly.
"I'm just kidding." he laughed. "I'm not gonna do anything-just me being there is enough for angel." he said under his breath but not quiet enough to were I didn't hear him.
"well I guess your right. It'll be a trip for angel if your actually there for me and not her." I laughed an he laughed along with me for a bit.
"so how was your morning?" he asked with one of his famous crocked smile.
"well honestly?" I grimaced.
He nodded.
"irritating! didn't you see angel storm out of the house she left not that long after I walked out the door!" I huffed in one breath.
"no I didn't I know the way angel takes to school so I took a different way so she wouldn't bother me about seeing you or tell me you never wanted to see me again or something."
I blinked then smirked. "you are well trained my warrior!" I giggled at my self and laughed lightly at him.
"oh you haven't seen a warrior yet!" he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to him. I blinked for a minute not sure what he was doing until saw how close is face was to mine and I surprised myself when I quickly pushed him firmly away. I shock my head.
"I'm sorry. I-I-I just can't please don't be mad at me?" I bowed my head in shame. I hate rejection and I just rejected someone no I just rejected ZACK what am I thinking he can kiss any girl he wants he probably hates me now.
"that's okay!" he shrugged. "nothing you do would ever make me mad at you and I'm not gonna force you to do something your not ready for." he smiled his crocked smile and I looked in his eyes I could see the truth in them the promise. I don't understand if he's leading me on to make angel jelouse but if he he's doing an awsome job I'll give him that much is for sure!
He pulled me close to him again and for a second I thought he was going to try to kiss me again. But he didn't. he pulled me close to him and when he leaned in on me again I was almost going to let him but he kissed my neck instead. I felt the warmth of his lips on my neck and giggled at the tingly feeling I got from it. He smiled and laughed at me slightly before pulling away and releasing me. He held his hand out to me. "you… ready to walk?"
"walk were." I blinked at him. I forgot were I was and were I was going the only thing I could think of was me and HIM!
"to school silly." he smiled and laughed at me again.
"oh!" haha that's right I'm going to school! Duh stupid! I mentally shock myself. I shock my head before grabbing his hand and telling him I was ready to go. He held my hand like he always did gently but firmly as we walked through the park.
"you know everyone is going to envy you, you know?" he smiled.
I blinked. "why?"
"because your walking into school with the guy everyone has been dieing to get with since I moved here." he looked down at me when I stopped.
"your right the hot tie and the freak everyone would be pissed." I shock my head, smiling. "no everyone is going to be dumb founded I mean come on the lion and the ugly duckling!" I giggled a little at my slight joke but I was being completely serious.
He started to laugh and it stared to irritate me that he found me putting my self down funny. "oh so me putting myself down is amusing to you is it?" I released my self from his grasp, turned around and crossed my arms over my chest.
"no--no--" he said in between laughter. "it's the naïve ness of it." he still laughed.
I didn't find it funny. Not in the leased. "now I'm naïve huh?"
"yes." he laughed.
I turned around and stud there in front of him as he laughed with my mouth wide in disbelief. hes a mayjor jerk!! I knew it was to good to be true no guy in this century is as nice to girls as he's been to everyone!! "you're a jerk!" I said aloud and he immediately stopped laughing and looked at me seriously.
"wait no I'm not-" he didn't get to finish before I walked right passed him and stomped my way over the wet dewy yellow cement that created a pathway to my destination- with was school- I wanted to get away I wanted to think. All this time I thought he was to nice and now- well now he's a complete jerk!
He ran up to me and grabbed my wrist but not firm enough to were I couldn't rip free which I did then turned to look at him with my angry glare. He got down on his knees and tried grabbing for my wrist again but I quickly pulled it out of his reach. So he winced as if I were about to hit him or he almost got hit but moved his face out of the way just in time.
"angel please?" he stayed on his knees and begged as if for his life. "please for give me I didn't mean to hurt you!" I turned my head to the side and looked at him in surprise. is he serious? I wondered. what is this guy doing he's on his knees in front of me and begging me for forgiveness if someone seen him they would think he was an idiot! Its like I took his life away and he's begging for it back. "do you forgive me?" he looked like a puppy to me.
"if I do will it get you off the ground like that?" I said forgetting my earlier anger.
He nodded and held his hand out for help getting up. I grabbed his hand and helped him up. He firmly grabbed my wrist and wouldn't let go. "ha I'm so not letting you go this time my pretty." he laughed as I tried to pull free but his impersonation of the evil witch made me smile.
"Zack let go." I said firmly.
"angel listen please?" he begged. I looked at him for a minute wondering if I should or shouldn't. but of course I decided to give him a chance considering that as far as I know he hasn't lied to me yet.
"I'm listening." I narrowed my eyes to him.
"I didn't generally mean that you were naïve I was laughing at the fact that your so naïve…" I tried to pull away not wanting to hear anymore but he wouldn't let me. "no no wait let me finish… that your naïve about thinking of your self as the ugly duckling when you like the hottest girl at school." I stared at him with my mouth open in disbelief.
"what?" I said. "that is such a lie you know I'm not the hottest girl in school. For gods sake I'm the freak remember? If anything I'm the most ugly!!"
"you are not."
"am so."
"are not!"
"yes I am and you know it!"
"no your not and that's not what I know!"
"oh yeah then what do you know?"
" I know that if you weren't pretty that the other girls wouldn't feel threatened by you like angel dose and that I like you because of you and your not ugly and even if you were I'd like you ether way." he huffed reclaiming his breath.
"oh is that so?" I said
"yes it is and you know it. Angel you cant honestly look at your self everyday and say your not pretty."
"oh don't get me started I hate looking at myself everyday I cant stand this face."
"well I can and it would be a blessing to see your face everyday."
I didn't know what to say this is the most anyone has ever said to me well other than the complete opposite of what he's saying.
"angel you are pretty. And don't let anyone tell you other wise."
"well…." I sat down on the bench to my right. "that's why I'm saying this."
He sat next to me. "what do you mean?" he asked with sincerer concern.
"people use to tell me all the time that I was ugly a good for nothing and I was a mistake." I looked away I didn't want him to see my sorrowful face.
"angel did people actually convince you that you are ugly and worthless? And a mistake?"
I felt the sting in my nose that told me I was about to cry and tried to hold my tears but I didn't speak I nodded.
"angel." he grabbed my face in his hand and forced me to look at him. "no one can tell you who you are what you are or anything like that you are you and you decide and if you decided that you are then the truth will disappoint you 'cause your not and you never will be. I know you know that angel don't believe that please for me?" I wanted to cry. I wanted to weep in his arms and know that I was safe. But I knew I couldn't.
I looked him straight in the eye. "Zack I don't know what to believe any more I really don't." I felt light tears slid down my face. As he cupped my cheeks in his hands and leaned in toward me I closed my eyes not wanting him to do what I thought he was going to. And he didn't he kissed me on my cheek and wiped my tears way as his lips moved to my ears.
"you can trust me!" he whispered into my ear and at that moment I knew I knew I could trust him I knew I could and I did. He wrapped his arms around me and I hugged him back in a lighter embrace then what he was giving me he wasn't hugging me hard he was holding me just hard enough to were I felt safe and comfortable in his arms as he whispered. "and even if you were a mistake you were the best one anyone has ever made."
And I smiled.
"hey umm Zack?" I said shyly as we almost reached the entrance to our school and stopped. "I think it would be best if we went our separate ways here!" I smiled up at him.
His face turned from a confused one to an amused smile-or like his famous smirk-at my decision.
"oh so are you that worried about what the other girls will do to you?" his smile turned into a frown when he seen that mine did. "what?" he asked concerned. "angel there not really gonna do anything to you-!"
I cut him off. "no that's not it."
"then what is it?" he asked.
"well we have a reputation remember I'm the freak and you're the hottest guy at school."
Zack looked at me for a minute confused at why I would say that. "so?"
"well…"
"angel if your that concerned about walking in with me we wont." he frowned down at me and I thought maybe I hurt his feelings.
"no no its not that its well… we're not going out or anything and we're walking into school like we are." he nodded letting me continue. "I'm just not the kind of person to show off something I don't even have." I looked at the ground feeling ashamed that wasn't entirely true well the way I felt about it was but the truth is I've been showing Zack off and I don't even know if the guy likes me or not.
"well…" he scratched his neck with his free hand. "… we could be." I was surprised. did he just ask me out? What this is everything I've ever wanted since I moved here and I haven't wanted much. Well… that's not true Zack is a lot!! it was true I've wanted this since I moved here and since I met zack like yesterday…and that's what made me think.
"Zack" he sucked in a big breath readying the rejection he felt was coming on. "I just want you to know that I'm not rejecting you" he let out his breath. "but I'm also not accepting…I'm sorry but the fact that we just met yesterday is whats bugging me it doesn't feel right that I don't know you and you don't know me." he nodded and opened his mouth to say something when I cut him off by putting my hand up so I could continue. "I just want you to get to know me first so you can decide if you really like me or not is that okay?" I looked at him with pleading eyes.
"of course. But I have not doubt to be honest." I blinked. "I do like you and I do want to be with you. But like I said I'm not the kind of guy to force someone especially you to do something your not ready for." he smiled at me and I smiled back at him.
I let his hand go. "thanks we better get to class or in the building for that matter and besides our lockers are on opposite side of the school." I giggled.
"okay I'll see you in second hour." he smiled his crocked smile that I've grown so use to.
"kay." I waved as we walked into the main entrance and went the opposite way of each other.
