Hey guys, *waves* I wrote another story yeah believe it I'm way over my head with this writing multiple story stuff but I'm going to try and try hard. I don't know when or how I'm going to keep updating but... I'm pretty happy right now but my life isn't great either but I'm smiling regardless and I got a new laptop to keep up with my writings and I hope you enjoy this update.
The day was boring as it usually was, my life could not have been more dreadful and meaningless. I went and sat in school all day, went home and tried to do homework ha! If that was even possible, hang out with Rocky, Ty and Deuce all day, chase Flynn around the house, practice dancing and sleep and eat. Wow who knew life could get any better than this. Huh I never knew I could be this sarcastic but things happen when there is nothing to do.
I hate everything today the sight of people, people around me laughing, couples holding hands, kisses, hugs and downright couples making eyes at each other nothing could have made me feel hollow at the moment. It was the worst feeling in the world, I knew I had the friends, the family and the perfect best friend but that could never make up connection that I needed that only the person from the opposite gender could fulfill.
Definitely not Rocky can do it that would just be weird. But all these years I had only eyes for this one guy that never gave me the time of day and that was my best friend's brother Ty. He never looked at me like that; he had the most beautiful girl in school to do that to and or except for food. Oh that boy what he does to me, he didn't need me a sophomore what for? He was a senior and the most popular guy in school and he didn't need a little girl named Cecelia Marie Jones, in my dreams he did but reality always crushed those dreams like a nut. So I'm sitting here in English class staring blankly at the chalkboard and I heard an annoying buzzing making its way into my ears.
"Cece can you find anything wrong with this sentence?" My snobby teacher asked me with a smug smile. I took a quick glance at the board and tilted my head towards her with a boring gaze and responded quickly snappily.
"The first word needs to be capitalized, the punctuation is misplaced, the comma needs to be in front of the 'before', semi-colon after the 'besides' and capitalize California and period at the end."
Her eyes glared at me and she grumbled as she made the corrections with hasty hands and I chuckled at her embarrassment and childish play. "Very good" was her final despising filled response. Why she hated me I had no idea but I didn't care as long as her hatred for me had no role in my grades or her head would be on a blade. As the last bell of the day was rung I jumped fast and walked with long strides to my locker and I saw no sign of a brunette anywhere near my locker. I sighed and reached for my lock and unlocked it with thin fingers and opened it slowly. As I retrieved all my books and was ready to head away I heard someone behind me I shivered as I felt a presence that I was not familiar with and I swiveled almost in slow motion and looked at who it was. I was met with blue green eyes that I drowned in for almost I don't know how long. I squirmed as I realized our closeness was close but somewhat warming.
"Hi?" I squeaked. I felt nervous under his admiring gaze.
"Oh sorry. Hi Cece what's up?" The stranger mumbled embarrassed at his hesitation.
"Nothing much I was just heading out." I jutted my thumb toward the exit and laughed inaudibly.
"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to block you from what you were doing. But…" He stopped.
"Uh-huh." I pushed.
"But… I was wondering if you would like to go out with me Saturday night." He rubbed the back of his neck cutely.
"Ummm. I'm sorry but... what's your name?" I asked tilting my head curiously. He turned red.
"I'm Rob. I'm in you science class?" He muttered. Realization dawned on me. I wagged my finger at him and smiled.
"Oh you mean the one who slipped the day when we were mixing some..." I said
"Yeah yeah that's me… I just came here to ask you out but if you don't want to..."
"I didn't say no." It's not every day a girl like me gets asked out and this guy was cute there was no way I was saying no to this.
"So what do you say?"
"Cece says yes." I replied smiling brightly.
"Awesome so I'll see you tomorrow to go over the date?" He asked.
"Wouldn't miss it. Bye." I waved and started to walk away.
"Bye!" He said. I made way for the exit that I was longing to go through some tackled me to the floor. I groaned in pain because it definitely wasn't from pleasure. Someone squealed in my ear and I groaned again. They straddled my waist while I moaned in pain.
"Tell me, tell me, tell me!" I heard someone squeak. I rubbed my eyes tiredly.
"Tell you what!" I muffled.
"Tell me what Rob was asking you!" She replied.
"Rock get off me." I said. "You're weight is crushing my overly petite body." I quipped. She put more pressure on my hips and I moaned in pain. "Please I can't breathe you Amazon."
She quirked an eyebrow. "Take it back you hobbit." She laid her whole body weight on top of me.
"Fine I take it back!" I wheezed as she let up I coughed like there was no tomorrow.
"You're over exaggerating, now tell me." She questioned as she harshly backed me into the wall.
"Raquel you're going to have to stop doing this or others are going to get the wrong idea. If you wanted me then just say so." I grinned. She slapped my lightly. "Ow." I said blankly.
"Now tell me what happened." She asked slowly. My eye went into slits.
"Well a cute guy whose name is Rob came over and asked this chick," I thrust my thumbs pointing to me. "out."
Her eyes gleamed dangerously as she jumped in the air and did a fist pump.
"I knew it!" she cackled.
"Knew what?" I replied genuinely scared at her outburst.
"You know! Ask you out!" She stopped for a minute and wondered "I knew he liked you but I didn't know he had the gall to do it."
"Gall what? Wait why wouldn't you think he would do it what's so intimidating about me?"
"Gosh nothing it's just…" I waited. "You get a little scary when you get all defensive."
"I do not get all…." I pointed my finger at her face and I stopped. I cleared my throat. "…I do not get all defensive."
"Yeah clearly" She said sarcastically. "So when is it?"
"Umm... shoot I think Saturday? No we were going to go over it tomorrow."
"Excellent." She whispered. My eyes narrowed at her.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." She said.
"That wasn't nothing, Rock what's up with you?"
"Look CeCe it's nothing I'm just coming up with ways to make you smoking hot for your first date." She waggled her eyebrows.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up there brainy this is not my first date, if anything this is my third." I exclaimed coolly. "'Cause you know I got that game."
"Yeah whatever and if anything I get more dates than you." She quipped. I felt my face heat and I made no remark of the truth she spoke, believe it or not over the past year or two; Rocky has been on her game. She was smart, fair, compassionate, passionate, caring, gentle, strong-minded, willing, her skin was a flawless color of toffee without a fucking blemish in sight well not that I know of, her eyes were wide with emotion in the mix with golden brown, her hair brown and wavy, her legs were endless and let's face it she had a killer body with rocking boobs…
"Ce did you hear what I said?" She asked.
"Something about boobs?" I replied shaking my head. She scrunched up her eyebrows.
"What? No! What were you thinking about?" She questioned looking at my face
"Ugh nothing Rocky just don't mess this up for me, I need this date right now." I begged.
"I know you do that's why I want to make it perfect for you so you can have a boyfriend right now instead of pining over one." She wrapped her arm around my shoulders and walked me out of the school and on or way to our apartment building.
O~O~O
"Rocky have you done your Math homework yet?" I jumped on the couch next to her. She ignored my presence and replied.
"Why yes I am almost done with it…right…now." She spoke with glee as she dotted her last words.
"Nice hand work, it wonderful and if I can take it off your hands I will gladly take care of it." I made to snatch it but she was too fast damn her karate experience.
"Uh-uh Ce you know you can't just copy off of me. It's not going to help you and your situation." She gave me a glare. Which I returned with pleasure.
"Why does that always come up with you? I'm doing fine in all my classes and I'll have you know I have a B+ in Mr. Bad Breath's class."
"His name is Mr. Blake." She said defensively.
"Oh sorry and forgive me for making fun of him since with your teacher student crush on him and all." I said and took her algebra book.
"He's just awkward that's all."
"He sweats!" I remarked. "A lot!"
"It's his first year here and he's nervous I don't blame being in front of people like you and making him feel bad and staring at him with beady eyes." She flexed her fingers and wiggled them. "I love him awkwardness and all and besides he's pretty cute." She said snottily.
"He's old!" I laughed.
"He's 25!" She yelled.
"Whatever he still sweats when he's in front of the air conditioner." I said and she fumed. "Wait what does this say?" changing the subject and pointed at one of the answers. She grumbled and went into her kitchen. I continued to copy until I felt someone breathe on my neck and I jumped and everything went flying into the air.
"Whoa sorry I didn't think I would scare you that bad." I heard a deep voice and I closed my eyes with a deep breath.
"No, no you didn't scare me just a little frightened that's all." I got up and tugged on my shirt. He laughed and said.
"Still the bravest of the group well until now that I scared your pants off." She throatily chuckled.
"I was not scared! Watch I'm going to get you and I'm going to make your pants come right off." I said and I saw him holding back his laughter. I felt my eyes widen and my cheeks heat up. "No I meant I'm going to scare you real bad." I tried again but it was less intimidating.
"Chill it's fine people say the wrong thing when they mean the other way around. Relax." He sat on the couch as Rocky came in with two cokes in hand. She spotted Ty.
"Hey loser." She said.
"You mad?" He smirked.
"I aint' even mad bro." She laughed as they joked.
"Pass me one of those cans." He nodded his head.
"Psst think again. Get your lazy ass up and get one yourself." She snapped.
"Always the girl with the mouth of a sailor." He cracked as he didn't attempt to move to the kitchen. "You is mad."
She ignored him and asked. "So what do you have in mind to wear for the special occasion?"
"Umm."
"Ooooooo girl talk what's this about? Are you going to wear that red dress with black heels and the necklace that makes your eyes sparkle?" Tyler clapped his hands lightly with sarcastic giddiness.
"If you must know I'm planning a date with this guy who is am-azingly cute." I sang and for a second I looked at his eyes and I thought I saw flicker of change behind them. As soon as I recognized it as soon as it disappeared.
"Really?" He asked with what seemed like a fake smile but to others it looked believable.
"Yes really." I said. "I don't know I think the stripped black and white long sleeve blouse with the black high waist army double buttoned pleated skirt with just plain Converse." I turned to Rocky and said with excitement.
"Oh my God that sounds so cute!" She jumped out of her seat. "Wait what about that neck..." She was gushing but in mid-sentence was interrupted with a large deafening bang from the front door. At this I realized Ty was gone I fiddled with my fingers.
I lowered my gaze and I felt a squeeze on my shoulder and I looked into Rocky's sad understanding eyes. I felt my mouth turn up into a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes and I felt my heart clench but Rocky sat next to me and clutched my hand in hers. I felt her lips brush my ear and I heard her breathe.
"Let go."
"I'm trying." I whispered painfully.
Ok? Decent? I don't if it was good or bad so let me know what you think and just hit that magic button below that makes everyone smile.
~Never give up,
