Chapter 3
...Fading Slowly......
Two weeks later~
"You either stick this in your mouth... or I'll shove it up your ass."
I looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "If you weren't my brother, I would take you up on those offers." Steve made a disgusted face. "But I won't take that pill. I feel fine."
He shook his head. "I heard you last night. You had a nightmare."
I rolled my eyes. "I don't even remember it okay?" Which was the truth. I didn't remember dreams. I had them sure, but they all were blank. The only way I knew I had a nightmare was if someone told me.
I got loud.
"Please take it for me?" He tried doing the puppy dog eyes, my puppy dog eyes. It wasn't going to work. But I was going to do it anyway. "It's been two weeks since you started school and I'm worried about you."
I rolled my eyes again. School had nothing to do with it. It was going pretty well. Eric stopped bullying Sam, who became my friend as expected, and no one was causing me trouble. Aside from Steve right now. Liam ended up having first period with me which I found to be very funny.
He did not.
I still wasn't sure why he was so pissed off at me. In class he did everything to avoid me. Which was easy seeing as we were in opposite ends of the room. If he bumped into me or something he just walked by. Lunch was always a miss since I didn't dare go into the cafeteria. It smelled horrible in there. But I was the only one who noticed. Funny fact too. If I was over at his house he didn't even acknowledge anyone and just went straight to his room.
Erika made it her mission to go upstairs and bother her brother. Saying how she made one of his favorite snacks and how it was downstairs. Which he fell for a few times. There was never any snacks. She was a very very very bad cook. I swear I thought I was going to die there for a while.
Thankfully Ashley had agreed with me to start hanging out at my house. That way we weren't going to bother Liam. Who was increasingly getting angry. Mostly at Erika I guess. She ended up getting tackled by Ashley a few times for trying to go upstairs. Once even by her mother, but that was because she literally didn't stop poking her mom.
Ashley, on the other hand, was keeping her hands away from me and more on Erika. Which I was glad. I didn't want any more bruises. I bruised like a peach. Also I didn't want those type of bruises. They weren't a reward for doing something fun. It was funny seeing her try to make Erika calm down.
Schala occasionally hung out with us too. Slept over once too. Said her parents trusted her. But I called her on her bullshit so she said they just really didn't care. Her poetry was really dark. I got most of what she wrote about, since they were things I felt once. She was a lesbian, which made us bond. She really didn't like the gay guys at school, they were too fragile. Though she feel that I was more 'real' and full of shit like her.
Steve was a little scared of her too. She had the badass aura I always wanted. But never could achieve.
Eric was sure becoming a fast friend. He wasn't opening up about his sexuality yet but he was talking about himself more. He liked to draw, run, and do some slight reading. Mostly romantic things. He said he was horrible at those types of things but he never actually wanted to do them. The girls he dated weren't right for him. I didn't bring up the subject of guys since I wanted him to be the one to start it up.
Grandma was doing good. Well good for a person with her condition. She was doing alright. I got to speak to her once these past two weeks but only for ten minutes before she went under. She wasn't the same person she was before. She was just waiting to die. She wanted it to come already. Talking to her was great but she didn't have the same energy as before. She wasn't there anymore.
"Are you going to answer me or are you just going to gaze off into the distance?"
I shook my head. "Fine." I got the pill from his hand and swallowed it. I didn't need water.
"Did you even eat something?"
"Yeah left overs from yesterday." Tuna salad. Yum~. "There is some for you if you want some. Also have some for lunch."
"Okay." He started messing with his tie. "I just worry about you."
I patted his back. "I know. But its getting better isn't it?" Like hell if I knew. I thought I was but moments like these made me wonder. When people started worrying. I had episodes where I didn't remember certain things.
"Yes, you are. But your doctor told me to give you the pill if you have nightmares. Your brain can might decode it later and give you an attack."
I sighed. "So what will I take to school today?" My motorcycle arrived about a week ago. But Steve in no way was letting me drive it. It was a gift from him ironically.
"You took a pill today, so I'm driving you."
I put on my backpack and made my way to the truck. I reached into my pocket and took out my glasses case. I opened it up and took out my classes, small black square frames. My contacts ran out and I had to go get a new prescription next month. My glasses were half the size of Ashley's glasses. I wasn't sure why she like big glasses. She only actually needed to wear them was to read.
"So I'm going to pick you up today. Just do something thirty minutes before I come pick you up." Steve locked the door behind him. He was a very capable twenty-five year old man. Sometimes I had to stop and look at him to realize he wasn't dad dad. There was a nine year difference between us.
"You know I can ask Ashley for a ride right?" Well it depended on whether her dad let her barrow the car.
"Nah. I want to go take you out for ice cream. Tell them you have a date." He wink at me as he unlocked the car. "Ash and Erika can come alone if they want. We can make it a double."
"But I thought you didn't like me going out with older men." I got inside and put on my seat belt.
"No one over the age of eighteen that is not me." He adjusted his mirrors before starting the car. "That way I know no one is thinking of getting into your pants."
"But guys my age want to get in my pants." All night long hopefully. But the way things were now, I was lucky if he looked at me.
"Not if they want to live."
Steve dropped me off twenty minutes before the bell. I liked getting an hour earlier so I could hang out with Ash, she liked reading books before school. However I didn't come early since Steve offered me coffee. How could I resist?
"Noah, how did you sleep?" Ash asked as I waved to Steve.
"Eh. You?"
"Barely. The cat next door was in heat. Rather still in heat." She rolled her eyes. "Are we going out to your house today?" She put her book away. "Erika wants to go over her house." Probably wants to bug Liam again.
"No. Steve wants us to go out for ice cream. Wants to go on a double date with us."
"With us?"
I nodded. "Me and him. You and Erika."
"Oh like the old times."
But without....
"Noah!" Ash and I both turned around to see Erika running towards us. She stopped just before hitting both of us. A couple of times she actually mowed us down. "How are you today?" She said huffing.
"Good. Don't make plans today. Your going out with us today."
"But I like making plans.... but okay!" She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. "Can you do me a favor?"
"Whatever I can do for you." I was still getting used to her kissing me. It was a friendly thing of course.
"I'll tell you in a while." She gave me a weird smile. "So where are we going?"
I told her about Steve wanting to take us out. She was up for it. She didn't tell me what her favor was until just about a few seconds after the bell rang. She had kept the conversation on how the art of love letters was disappearing.
"Can you give this to Liam?" She pushed a brown paper bag into my hands. "Mom forgot to give him his lunch." Before I could say anything. She had run off. I looked to Ashley but she was gone too. She might have left when I was checking out a few books on the internet.
"Motherfucker..." I gripped the bag. That's why she waited for the last moment.
I walked over to first period and was debating whether of not to give it to him. There was a chance he was going to ignore it. But he wouldn't if I told him it was from his mom. And it was from his mom.
I opened the door and thankfully he was already there. A few people but not the ones who would think anything bad of me giving Liam something.
I walked over to him but he didn't notice. As soon as I stepped into the glass he had ignored my presence. "Good morning Liam." He didn't even acknowledge me. "Your sister told me to give you this. Said your mom forgot to give it to you." I placed it on the table. He didn't say anything so I left.
I think I heard a soft. "Thank you."
It was progress. I guess.
Nothing interesting happened until lunch. Schala, Ashley, and I were sharing lunches, talking about the horrors of banana's and the litter spiders they might hold. When Eric walked up. Holding a note.
"Do you like Liam?" I choked on a chip when he asked.
"What?" Schala handed me a napkin. As I coughed a big, the chip went down the wrong pipe.
"Did you give him a love letter?" Eric passed me the note.
Dear Liam,
I wanted to let you know that I still like you. I want nothing more than to be with you. Will you be my boyfriend?
XoXo
Noah. <3 <3
Was there a kiss mark on it?
I read it three times. "Where did you find this?" The girls took turns reading it.
"Inside Liam's lunch bag."
I closed my eyes and ripped the note when Ashley passed it to me. "Erika told me to give it to him."
He nodded. "That sounds like her. But why would she do that. Liam's not...." He paled up. "What is he...."
"Doesn't matter what he is but...." I bit my lip. "Did anyone else see this?"
"No. Liam had just finished his food before finding the letter." He whistled. "Good thing Amber didn't find it. They broke up again and she would have been pissed."
"They broke up?" Ashley asked him. They were getting to know each other.
"Last week. Something about him not paying attention to her or something." He looked off into the distance and shook his head. "Anyway I'll let you guys be. Just wanted to know about the note. " He left as I watched him go to the cafeteria.
"Some little cute red headed girl about to feel some pain?" Schala asked.
"Maybe the wet willy type of pain?" Ashley put in.
"Yes and hell yes."
For the next two periods I was worried about what Liam was thinking. The sneaky little demon set me up. She was going to get a big wet willy. But that was going to happen later. Sooner if she showed her face. She did pop up at weird moments. Once in the bathroom.
Theater had some interesting things coming into play.
"Everyone please listen." Mistress walked to the center of the stage. "We will be having tryouts for the main play." It was mandatory to participate but the leads had to be from tryouts. "If you would be interested please come talk to me.
I noticed Amber and a few students walk over to Mistress. There was no doubt in my mind Amber wanted to be the lead female. I really didn't like her but I also didn't really hate her. She was in between. She had her good qualities and her bad ones. The main problem was her anger. She needed things to go her way.
"Little Miss Perfect like always wants to participate." Schala rolled her eyes. I bet if the teacher wasn't here she would have called her MacBitch. Ashley and her started to get along. And it scared me.
"Well of course she does. She wants the spotlight on her. But I heard its Romeo and Juliet." Sam said as he started putting on his backpack. "By the way why don't you try out Noah? Your pretty good."
Eh. "I don't know. If I get the lead I would have to kiss a girl." I shivered. Plus music was more my thing. Playing the piano and messing with the drums was more my thing. I didn't want to join anything just wanted to have a creative outlet. AKA the reason why I was in Theater.
"There's nothing wrong with kissing girls." Schala smiled.
"For Noah and me there is." Sam smiled.
We got ready and talked about random things till the bell rung. Just as I was going to leave. Someone called me. "Noah could I speak to you for a second?" Mistress waved for me to come over.
"Yes Mistress?" I don't think I did anything bad. Or did I?
"Could you do me a favor and stand on the stage?" I looked at her for a second before getting on stage. Why? "Okay now can you do me another one and read some of these lines?" She raised up a script and pointed it at me.
I took the script. I had a bad feeling about this. But I couldn't refuse. "So I'm suppose to read Juliet's lines?"
"Just for right now. There's something I want to hear from a male's voice." Why me though?
I cursed mentally. " O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love. And I'll no longer be a Capulet. " Yada yada. "'Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man. O, be some other name. What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes. Without that title. Romeo, doff they name. And for that name, which is no part of thee. Take all myself." I paused as I thought over Romeo's lines.
"I take thee at thy word. Call me but love, and I;ll be new baptis'd. Henceforth I never will be Romeo." I looked up and saw Liam walking down the auditorium. What the hell was going on?
Mistress coughed and I looked down at the script before looking up. "What man art thou that, thus bescreened in night. So stumblest on my counsel?" I looked at him.
He walked forward. Eyes not leaving mine. "By a name. I know not how to tell thee who I am. My name, dear saint. Is hateful to myself. Because it is an enemy to thee." He was just below the the stage. "Had I it written, I would tear the word."
He looked at me, I looked at him. This was the part where we had to.... kiss. "Great job guys." Mistress started clapping. "There is some fine chemistry between the two of you." Old chemistry. Bad new one, well at least from his side.
I blushed and looked away. "Why did you need me to say the script?" I don't think she wanted me to actually say it for a reason then just to hear it from a guy's voice.
"I want you to be the male lead." She smiled up at me. She was hiding something. What though?
"But I read Juliet's lines."
"But you said them with such gusto. Such passion." I blushed. "Come by next Monday for the tryouts. You will be our Romeo!"
Fuck me.
"Thank you." I smiled at her. Thank you for sending me to hell.
She went off to the back of the stage, leaving us alone. Neither of us said anything. "That was a great performance guys." Erika said from the top of the stairs. She clapped as she walked down the stairs. Ashley was right behind her. "You guys didn't do the kiss though." She frowned.
I jumped off the stage and almost tripped. Liam tried to help me stand straight but I kept on walking. "You little shit! You better start explaining yourself!"
She gave me a smile. "What did I do Romeo?"
"Why did you write that note?"
She rolled her eyes. "Because you didn't!"
"You-"
"Wait." Liam walked over to us. "You didn't write the note?" He had a little angry look on face. A little disappointment too. Maybe I should have written the letter but..
I looked away from him. I shouldn't have looked. His eyes were pleading for something. "She wrote the note and made me give you the bag."
No one said anything. He bit his lip and nodded before walking away angry.
"Go-" I covered her mouth as he kept walking. I waited until he was gone. "What was that for?" She rubbed her mouth.
"Don't mess with him! He's obviously mad with me for some reason. I want to know why before anything happens."
Erika sighed. "But you guys are going to slow...."
"Stop whining it will happen when it happens." I sighed. "If it doesn't then oh well." Maybe I wasn't the best thing for Liam. Someone who was more clean then me.
"It will..." She whispered as we made our way up the stairs. "Even if I have to make it...."
"What?" I looked back as I bit my finger.
"Nothing nothing....." I stuck my wet finger in her ear. "EWWWWWWWWW."
"So you wrote a love letter? Nice!" I gave Steve a glare as I drank my lemonade. "How did it go?" He looked at me but I kept drinking.
"Well it was going good. Liam was probably going to talk to Noah about it but Noah had to open his big mouth." I gave her a glare too. I was giving everyone the silent treatment right now. She hurt my little guy... well big guy now. "I even asked his teacher to make Noah read Juliet's balcony scene."
Wait. "How the hell did you know he was going to be there and know the words Romeo uses."
"Persuasion and luck." She flipped a lock of red hair behind her shoulder. "But mostly me crying until Liam went to go talk to you. The reason he knew those lines was simple. I made him watch the movie every single day." She gave a confident smile. "Ever since I knew you were coming."
Holy shit. Poor Liam. That had to get annoying.
"For such a cute thing your very devious." Schala got a slice of pizza. "I like that." We picked her up when we saw her walking down the street past her house. Erika practically bounced when she agreed to join us.
"Why thank you." Erika smiled as she bit a fry.
I had to stop underestimating her. "You're evil." She may look cute but.
"Extremely cynical." Schala put in.
"Maniacal." Ashley added.
"And downright adorable" Steve rubbed her head.
"In." Me.
"My." Schala. She was suppose to say your.
"Dreams." Ashley.
We all started laughing.
"By the way why did we come get pizza? I thought we were going to get ice cream?" Ashley made a very good point. I was looking forward to ice cream but pizza made me forget all about it.
"Well Erika told me she was hungry." Steve raised up his glass. "Said they severed bomb ass lemonade too."
"Yeah its pretty good." I drank a bit and my head started feeling weird. Was I getting a brain freeze? I felt a sharp jolt pass through my head. I took off my glasses and rubbed the bridge of my nose. My head was starting to feel hot. Strange.
"Something wrong Noah?" I heard Ashley's voice ask in a weird vibrating way. Not good.
"Yeah, your looking a little pale there." I felt Steve's hand touch my forehead.
"I just need some water." I got up from the chair and wished I hadn't. I had my anxiety pills with me but I had to drink them with water. Walking felt fine which was good. Meant the attack was just beginning. The one I had in the morning was suppose to calm my nerves.
When I reached the counter I asked for a glass of water. I was waiting with my eyes close, it helped. Then the room was starting to collapse on me. Even if my eyes were closed I could still feel it. "Can I have a coke please?" I heard some guy ask right behind me. It had kinda an echo. Familiar voice.
"Here's your water." I reached out and got the cup. Not sure how I managed with my eyes closed. I tossed in my pill and took a large drink of water. "Hey are you okay? You're really sweaty." Was I sweaty? I didn't feel sweaty.
"I'm..." I back up and felt a someone there. "fine..." The room started to spin. Well it felt like it was spinning. I opened my eyes and yup spinning. I felt my legs give out. "Steve." I saw darkness swallow up the light.
"Noah?" I felt hands on my shoulders.
Who was calling me? Sounded. Familiar.... Then all black and silent. Sweet silence.
You know those dreams where you know your dreaming but you can't wake up? I was feeling like that. I was alone in some dark empty void. I could hear some beeps and people talking but it was all jumbled up in my head.
"Noah honey...."
I turned around and saw nothing but darkness.
"Noah honey. Where are you? Mommy has a treat for you." A soft voice, I haven't heard in years, rang out in my mind.
"Mommy?" I saw a kid me run out from me and into the darkness. Looking for someone. "Mommy where are you?" I felt a sharp pain across my body and heard more weird noises. "Steve where are you?" The kid me ran forward and kept looking frantically. What was in the darkness? I heard some voices again in the background but couldn't tell what they were saying.
"Oh sweetheart come to mommy!" I felt the sharp pain in my head again. "We can go with grandpa, Steve, daddy, and your baby sister too."
"Mommy your scaring me!" The kid me backed away and started crying.
I held my head as the pain got worse. "Stop it! Its not real!" I grabbed my head as the pressure increased. I was not.... not going to go through that again.... not... "Again."
I felt my body relax. My head was starting to feel numb. I could feel someone holding my hand.... both of them....
"Mom...."
I closed my eyes and let the darkness take me. I wasn't scared... He promised he was always here....
"Steve."
I smiled and felt nothing.
I heard the faint sounds of beeps, my mouth felt dry. I moved my hand but couldn't move it far. It was attached to something. I tried opening my eyes but they felt like they were permanently shut. I managed to open them and closed them right back up. The light was to fucking bright. I moved my other hand, it was free. I used my left hand to wipe the gunk out my eyes.
I opened my eyes again and let my eyes focus. I was in the hospital. I looked down and saw Steve sleeping on my legs. I poked him with my right hand. Hard to do with the clamp around my finger.
He moved away from my finger so I poked his eye. Hard. He opened his eyes and looked up. "Hello sleeping beauty." I winced. Man my voice sounded rough. Must have been the meds.
He smiled and leaned over to hug me. "You're okay..." He patted my head as he kissed my forehead. "Your safe okay? Everything is going to be alright I promise." He pulled back and had his eyes looking straight into mine. "I won't let anyone hurt you okay?"
I touched his hand on my right cheek. "I know you wont." I smiled, he smiled back, he was always there when I needed him the most. "What happened?"
"You had a really bad anxiety attack. It would have been worse if you hadn't taken the pill this morning. Or the one you took in the afternoon." He patted my face and gave another sloppy forehead kiss. "You had me scared Bunny."
I wiped the drool off my forehead. "How bad was it?"
"Really bad. Had to sedate you two times. You didn't stop shaking." He looked at his hands. "You wouldn't stop calling my name."
"Are you okay?" He looked about as bad as I felt.
"Could use some decent food and a nice bed but I'll live." He smiled at me. "Doctor said we could take you home as soon as you woke up."
"We?" He smiled and pointed off to the side. Mrs. Heart was sleeping on a chair.
"By the way..... Here." Steve reached over to the table and handed me six cards. "There get well cards. Gave them to me this morning."
I looked over them. One from Erika, Ashley, Schala, Eric, Sam, and.... Liam. Each one was a weird drawing of a bunny with the words get well at the bottom.
"How long have I been out of it?"
"Today is the third day you have been here. The weeks almost done." He moved a piece of hair from my face. "The first day you were on a drug cocktail. The second the drugs were wearing off. The third was waiting for you to wake up."
"What time is it?" I still felt tired.
"Eight-thirty in the morning." He got up. "I'll go get the doctor. Make sure your good to go." We heard some moving to the side and saw Mrs. Heart start waking up. "Well at least I can leave you with someone awake." He smiled as he walked off.
She gave a stretch then looked at me. "Oh honey!"
It took about two hours to have some final tests run on me and I was free to go. Steve had brought me some clothes so I was able to shower. I had to argue with him for twenty minutes so I could shower myself. The doctor gave me the okay to go back to school next week but wanted me to be home for the weekend. If I felt any attack's coming on that I should come back to the hospital.
I got lucky. Before we left I was able to talk to grandma. She was awake.
"How are you doing grandma?" I walked over and sat down next to her. Steve and Mrs. Heart were right next to the door.
She looked a little frailer than usually but still gave me a big smile. She reached up with her wrinkly hand to rub my face. I closed my eyes. She always rubbed my face. "Good. You had me worried there for a while."
What? "I thought you were suppose to be sleeping,"
Mrs. Heart walked over to me and place her hand right behind my back. "She woke up when you got here. She wanted to stay up until she knew you were doing better."
"She didn't wanna take no for an answer. Huh grandma?" Steve walked over and took her other hand.
"I couldn't sleep knowing my babies where in the hospital." She looked at me then to Steve and back to me. "One was sick and the other one was getting sick worrying over everything." She smiled wider. "Always taking care of each other."
I smiled. She was beautiful. "Would you like to see me perform in a play grandma?"
"I would love to if I could."
"We can find a way for you to see." We had technology. She always liked to see me perform. Though that was on the piano but this would mean on the center of a stage.
"Then yes I would love to." She gave a little yawn. "I heard you were okay, so I had the doctors give me my medicine."
Oh.... "Okay grandma.... Sleep tight...." I leaned over and kissed her forehead. Steve did the same as we watched her fall asleep ten minutes later.
Steve drove us home. They took me to bed after making me eat a mountain of eggs, couple sausages, and a few strips of bacon. Mrs. Heart forced Steve to get ready for work and made sure to get him to leave. She promised to keep an eye out for me. She left my door open when I fell asleep. She said she was going to tidy up the house.
I woke up three times that day. Two times in the first hour since I couldn't stay asleep. The last time was when Steve got home. Mrs. Heart had left to go home as soon as he got here. Steve brought up some soup she made for me.
Friday was me sleeping mostly all through the day. Ashley dropped by after school with some candy and two teddy bears. One from Sam the other was from her. The chocolate was from Eric and the sour gummy worms were from Schala. She only stayed for an hour before Mrs. Heart shooed her away. She wanted me to keep resting.
To make sure to keep that goal secure. She banned Erika from coming into the house. I heard her argue with her mom a few times but Mrs. Heart never wavered. She threatened to ground her for a week if she came over one more time.
Saturday was spent mostly all day watching movies with Ashley. She even let me use her breasts as pillows. Warmest, softest, pillows ever. Sunday was spent the same but with Steve. He was stuck to me like a mother hen. If I needed something he would be up on his feet in a flash.
That night Mrs. Heart brought Erika over so we could have dinner together. Liam couldn't make it, track meet practice, so he told Mrs. Heart to tell me he was glad I was getting better. I found out that night that I actually fainted on Liam. From what Erika and Ashley told me. He was worried. Super worried. He stayed at my side until they said I was stable.
What was more interesting was Monday morning. Ashley and Erika weren't waiting for me. I was a bit late since Steve took me to go get some coffee. But Liam was there. He was waiting in front of the school. As soon as he saw me he walked over.
"I...." He didn't look at me, off to the side. "It's good that you feel better...." He took out something from his pocket. "Here."
I reached out and grabbed the gift. I let my hand stay with his for a few seconds before I took them away to see what he gave me. "Thank you." It was a little blond bear.
He took a deep breath. "No problem." He walked away leaving me smiling like a goober. He was mad at me but still worried.
In first period he looked at me for a split second before finding something interesting on his desk. Halfway through class I noticed Liam turn to look a few times. Which I found rather interesting. Even when the bell rang Liam waited at the door for a few seconds before deciding to leave.
I pushed my thoughts to the back of my head and went to my next class. I didn't want to get my hopes up. Chances are he was just worried about me. Right now everyone was. Liam hadn't seen me had an attack before. Steve and Ashley have. Grandma more then anyone.
"So how have you been feeling?" Ashley touched my forehead as I sat next to her in Art. "Sorry I couldn't meet you this morning. Erika shoved me into an empty class room. Was busy trying to track her down."
"I'm fine." I noticed her fingers twitch after took her hand away. "Did you get her?"
"I'm waiting for the right moment.."
I smiled. "Make sure I can watch."
"Sure thing."
Art went by in a flash since it was free drawing. I drew a boat being swallowed up by an octopus. You know the tentacles around the boat with its mouth open and a guy holding a spear. The octopus was pretty hard to draw but I did made some bomb ass stick figure fisherman.
"You know that you look cuter with your glasses on?" Ashley said as we walked over to our tree.
I raised my eyebrow. "Why this all of a sudden?" I subconsciously moved my glasses a bit.
She shrugged. "I was thinking of getting contacts. Not sure if I should though." She looked over to the side and blushed.
"Well they are a risk you know. Germs and everything." I wanted to ask about the blush but she would deny it. "You look pretty just the way you are."
She didn't say anything till we got to the tree. "If you were straight would you date me?"
I smiled and kissed her nose. She frowned and made a disgusted face, then smiled. "Oh totally, so you would probably be pregnant right now." I waggled my eyebrows and she smacked me. "Oh baby don't you know how to turn me on."
"Oh stop it!"
"Are we suppose to turn you on now?" Schala said from atop the tree. She was wearing a black skirt, black spiky boots, and a white shirt. She had her hair layered, black and white layers. "Straight out of the hospital and already wanting to bone people." She jump down and gave me a fist bump.
"You know me." I smiled. "Nice hair."
"Thanks. Should let me do your hair one day. You would look hot with black hair." She looked me up and down. "You need more black."
"And you need more piercings." She only had a ring on her upper lip. We sat down on the grass. "By the way just so you know I might have attacks like those later on in the future. Don't know when they happen." Didn't want her to think it happened out of random. They happened but they slowed down, but increased on how bad they were.
Schala nodded and leaned on the tree. "No worries. My little cousin gets those too. Pretty funny watching your brother though."
"Oh that was nothing." Ashley tossed me a sandwich then one to Schala. Simple ham and cheese. Nothing special but she put something in it that made it taste more special. But if you looked at it closely you saw nothing but bread, ham, and cheese. "There was this one time two years ago where Steve freaked out over a spider bite. He literally made three nurses cry when they said Noah was fine."
"Can't be too careful with spiders now." I shivered I didn't like those things.
"But there harmless little sweet hearts." Schala smiled as I shivered again. She had a pet tarantula called Baby.
We were halfway threw with lunch when something unsuspecting happened.
"So this guy started poking this gigantic spider. Little did he know that it was still alive." Schala lifted her hand and spread out her fingers. "It started twitching but the guy didn't notice. The guy got a little closer to it to get a better view. It jump up and made the douche drop his expensive camera."
"BOO!" Erika jump out from the side of the tree right behind Ashley.
Schala and I hand a hand on our chest breathing hard since we jump back. Ashley on the other hand.....
"Oh... you...." Tackled Erika to the ground and started tickling the crap out of her. She actually made Erika wet herself a bit.
So Erika didn't lie when she told her teacher she had to use the bathroom. She wasn't expecting to actually pee. It wasn't noticeable so it was good. Erika was lucky she was at school or else. I didn't wanna think about it. Ashley only made it less violent for the fact we were at school. It could have been splash mountain.
The next two periods were nothing extraordinary. The librarian brought cookies from home though so I had a little desert. No one was taking out books so I didn't have to sort them out or anything. I just had to keep her company.
Theater was turning out to be my most interesting class though.....
"Last week I told you how Noah had agreed to be this years Romeo." I waved as the class looked at me, all except Amber. "Would the girls playing as Juliet please come up?"
Amber and a few girls came up to the stage. Sam and Schala gave me a thumbs up. Too bad Schala didn't sign up to be Juliet. I wouldn't mind kissing her.
"Amber would you please start at O, swear not by the moon?" Mistress sat down in front of the stage to get a better view.
Amber walked up and gave a sigh. "Yes Mistress." She took a deep breath. "O swear not by the moon inconstant moon." She said it perfectly but it was missing something. "That monthly changes in her circled orb. Lest that thy love prove likewise variable?"
I got closer to her. She had pretty hazel eyes. "What shall I swear by?"
She turned away from me. "Do not swear at all. Or if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self. Which is the god of my idolatry. And I'll believe thee ."
It was missing heart. "If my hearts dear love."
All in all I thought Amber was the best candidate. She didn't have to use the script like the other girls did. She had confidence but she had it a bit off putting. Her words believable but there was some doubt in there. Was she like this or was is just to me?
Mistress must have thought the same as me. Well the part that Amber was the best. She was made Juliet. I watched my classmates audition for roles. Each one had about one minute to do a scene. Schala and same were picked to be townspeople. Much to Schala's chagrin.
I stayed after to get my script.
"You better not bring me down." Amber said from behind me.
I turned around and raised my eyebrow.
"You may think your pretty good but that's because all the guys here suck." She crossed her arms. "Thankfully your not a loser like your friend or the play would have been ruined from the start."
I leaned back onto the stage. "She's not a loser."
"She's a freak just like the other girl you hang out with. I'm telling you right now that you better not fuck up. I don't do bad plays." She got a little close to my face.
Wow. Just wow. "I think they have tic-tacs you might like. All sorts of flavors." I wiggled my nose.
"Just don't fuck me up." She gave me a very serious look.
I raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Girl, your not my type." I walked past her and let her fume. She was a little bitchy but she had talent. I didn't want to rile up my 'Juliet', She had issues but who didn't?
I walked past the track field and stopped. Eric and Liam were running around the track field. Without a shirt. Oh baby, eye candy. I watched for a few seconds. They couldn't see me since there was a fence and a few trees blocking me.
I reached into my pocket and took out a coin. "Why play it safe when you can leave it to chance?" I flipped the coin and caught it in the air without taking my eyes off him. "Heads no. Tails yes." I looked at my hand. "So I guess tomorrow is my lucky day." I smiled as I walked away.
Maybe. Just maybe.
Tomorrow is an Eric chapter! Generally I will tell you when a chapter is devoted to someone. Usually so you can understand them a bit better. Some characters might not get a chapter to them. It will be Noah's POV but you will get to know more about the characters. Or character.
Anyways I hope you liked the chapter. This chapter will lead up to some very interesting things in the future. Very interesting. Or very sad depending if your like my friend. He cried but he's just a little bit emotional >~<.
Anyway review if you liked it! Sorry if it was bad spelling or grammar.
With love your bunny~
