a bet worth waiting on 4

as the bell rang i began to fold the papers we were handed into the agenda the teacher had also given us.the whole forty minutes was just the teacher talking about how we should behave as upperclassmen and what was expected of us, i took that time to start doodling in my agenda, after my mother died id taken up an interest in graffati.

"that's pretty good" erik leaned over looking at my name graffited on the inside cover of my agenda in black sharpy marker.

"thank's, it kept me from boredom" i smiled up at him, he had to deffitantly be over six foot tall.

"where'd you learn how to do that?" he said sliding the agenda out of my hand's to examine it better.

"oh well i guess i just picked it up from watching my ex-boyfriend and his friends doing it" i winced thinking about alex.

"sounds like this guy wasnt a good influence on you"

"no and obvsiously i still wasnt good enough though, dumping me for my own cousin" ..umm did i just say that to a perfect stranger.

he handed me back my agenda and stood up to leave walking around the desk crossing in front of me as i looked down putting the paper in my agenda, he stopped right in front of me casting a shadow looming over me. he used his index finger and middle finger to lift my chin up to look at him.

"i can be a better influence" he said winking and walking out the door.i smiled to myself maybe this year wont be that bad after all.

"looks like you and erik manter were getting along pretty well" chris said from behind. the whole class i had forgetten he was back there.

"he was just welcoming me to this hell hole" i said getting up with my books in hand and turning to chris "see you later" i said walking out of the classroom only to be stoped by a strong arm snaking around my waist.i turnt to see erik leaning agianst the stone wall, was he waiting for me?

"need an escort to your next class?" he said smiling devilishly

"yeah that would be great" i said as he pushed himself off the wall.

"let me see your schedule" he said holding out a hand

i handed him my schedule as we walked slowly through the hallway.

"hmm we have lunch together as well as gym" he said handing back my schedule " your next class is this way" he said point down a hallway we were just about to pass

"thanks id prolly be on the other side of the school looking" i said

"want me to be here to take you to gym?" he asked causually

"i wouldnt want you to go out of your way jus-" interuptded

"well i dont want the school to eat you up on your very first day so i insist" he said flicking at my hair, that made me giggle, i tried to stiffle it but it came out as a chocking sound.

"alright" i said quitely hoping he didnt hear my stifled giggle/chocking sound.

"then ill see you in 40" he said with a wink as he raised and arm to the classroom we stoped in front of.

and as he said he was there after that class to take me to gym and he was there after everyone of my class's, this was a surprise i figured he'd go running for the hills.

after the last bell let out i made my way to the senior parking lot, i was happy, scratch that i was envolped in my own world.

my last period was wierdly enough lunch and to my pleasure erik invited me to sit with him and his friends, they were all guys and all seniors, ive never met any of them before seeing as though they were in my brothers grade. but when i think about there different from any of my brothers friends , they all dressed and talked like they were staight out of compton or should is say the ghetto. all my brothers friends were more prep/pretty boy/jock type, with there armani or abercrombie cloths. erik's friends wore cloths that had to come from epic or the flee market, and i must say these are my kind of boys. okay okay i know im babling let me get to why im so happy, well oddly enough our first day of school is on a friday hmm go firgure but erik, all his friends, and i were talking they brought up a party tonight i felt as you would say left out i wouldnt have been invited to this senior party no one wanted to bother with a Junior espeically a new one, but to my surprise erik turnt to me

"you doing anything tonite?"he said breaking away from the conversation looking down at me seated next to him.

"more than likely -no" i said with a bored tone.

"come to the party with me then" he said as the corners of his mouth turn up trying to hide a smile, was he asking me on a date?!

"i dont know id have to ask my brother's" tom would never let me go to a senior party obviosly he knew what went on.

"do you always have to ask your brother's permision?" he said with a hint in his voice, that's when i fully thought about it tom doesnt own me he may be my brother but that doesnt mean he can stop me from having fun.

i smiled brillantly "then im game" at that he didnt try to hide his smile anymore it was full and gourgous and for me.

"great, should i pick you up?"

"yeah, what time is the party?" i had to think of how i was gunna get out of the house tonite.

"it starts at sevensih, so ill pick you up around six fifty?sound good"

"perfect" and that was that i was going to a senior party tonight with a totally hot senior and i was not gunna let my brother know a thing, can my first day have gotten any better?

as i said i was making my way out to the senior parking lot to where my brother and chris were both leaning agianst tom's silver honda with about five or four girls surrouding them, as i approached the girls smiles wavered and chris turned to see me first.

"looks like you had a good first day tay" he said looking at me confused.

"and?" i said as i approached there side, one blonde girl in the front of the rest siddled up next to tom and wrapped an arm around his.

tom turnt and looked at me shaking the girl off and hugged me "yeah it does what got into you tay"

"what i cant have a good day!" i said crossing my arms glaring at tom.

"no its jus-"

"i dont think we've met, im cindy tom's girlfriend" the blonde said squezzing back up next to tom and reaching up to stroke his hair

"thats nice" i said in a bored tone and she stiffened at that comment.

"well exc-"

"cindy this is my sister taylor" tom said trying to supress laughter

she loosened up and smiled " oh im sorry , god tom never mentioned how pretty you are"

"i highly doubt he would" i said turning to tom " can we go"

"whats the rush, got a big date?" chris said from the other side of tom.

"no i have to take a dump" i said raising my hands shrugging.

chris laughed but tom went a deep red " tay your discussting get in the car" tom said passing me to get into the drivers seat.

no one said i was lady like.

when we got home it was 430 so i immendiatly jumped into the shower for an hour

it took me another hour to find and outfit it was 630 when i finally decided on a pair of jean shorts a pink tube top and a mesh black crop top

640 done with my makeup and onto schrunching my hair when a knock came on my door.

"come in" fuck i shouldnt have said come in but it was to late tom walked into my room.

"tay im going out for a lil-" he looked me over "where are you going dressed like that?"

"none of your business" i said trying to kept the shakyness out of my voice, oh god please dont ruin my plans

"you didnt ask me to go out tay your not going anywhere" he said in a stern voice as i heard a honk outside

"too late im out" i said grabing a sweater and pushing my way past him and down the hall

chris was at the front door "who's that?"

"no one move" i said and he obeyed

"taylor!" i heard tom yell as he came down the hallway " chris grab her" but i was to quick i was out the door and at erik's car before they even opened the door

"GO!" i said out of breath to erik

"wha-" but he stoped as he saw chris and tom running out of the house and he stepped on the eccelrator.

" i guess you dont always listen to your brother then huh" he said his eyes full of amusement

tonite better be worth it.
