“Good Morning!” Naomi screamed at me as I came downstairs from her bedroom.

“Hi” I said sleepily.

Keith was sitting at the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal. When he saw me he smiled. I smiled back.

“So angel, I was thinking… about this whole Lucy thing, I mean” She said handing me a cup of coffee.

“Yeah?” I asked. “Any cream and sugar?” I asked.

“Yeah, it’s on the table” She replied. “But anyway, the whole school saw the fight, its on youtube and everything-”

I looked up from pouring the cream in my coffee. “It is?”

“Yeah. Eric called and told me this morning. He was checking to make sure you were here. He said he got worried when you weren’t picking up your phone”

“Whatever,” I mumbled.

Keith looked at me and I’m guessing he had heard me. He was close enough so I kind of figured.

“Wait… you’re still dating him?”

“She might as well be. She did live with him for 2 days”

“I didn’t live with him. I stayed there.”

“Right. You stayed there. In his living area, where HE lives.”

She said grinning.

I honestly wanted to smack that look right off her face. But it wasn’t her fault she didn’t know about what had happened between her brother and me just last night.

I felt bad though. Even though I made out with Keith just last night… My morning’s thoughts were focused on Kyle.




“Class get into your groups” Ms. Uraman said as soon as the bell rang for class to start on Monday morning.

Lucy was bold enough to come to school today, I couldn’t hold back my laugh as I saw the black eye I’d given her. Not to mention that ugly gash on her cheek.

“Wow… I guess even the 20 pounds of make up you like to slap on didn’t hide the hideous face” I laughed and she scowled.

That only made me laugh harder. “Its okay… But hey, Eric and me are completely over now. Maybe you should snag ‘em while he still feels a little sympathy for you”

I was enjoying this a bit too much and after my fourth round of laughter I decided it was enough. Eric had some nerve having an attitude by my remarks about him. I’d slap him right in the face if I knew I wouldn’t get detention.

“Oh baby… you look tense. I’m sure Lucy can rub you in all the right places and make you feel better,” I turned to Lucy. “Right?”

She had the audacity to have a tear streaming down her face. To bad for her, I didn’t care. I hated her with a passion and I would rather slit my throat than feel any pain for her.

Then more tears came from her eyes and she got up and walked out of class.

“Miss Prindle? Miss Prindle you need a pass to leave my classroom!” But she kept going.

“Are you happy now angel?”

You know those times when you try really hard not to care about something, but you end up caring anyway? Yeah… this was one of those times.

I got up without acknowledging Eric’s statement and followed Lucy.

“Miss Wade! Now where are YOU going?”

“Ms. Uraman, I’ll be right back” I said before walking out.

I didn’t see Lucy while I was walking the halls, but when I was about to walk pass the bathroom I heard her cries.

I went into the bathroom and she was standing in front of the mirror looking disgusted about her reflection.

“What do you want? Here to make me feel even worse about myself?” She said.

“Actually… I’m here to apologize.”

“Save it”

“Look, you and me can hate eachother; we can fight and scream at eachother too. But at the end of the day neither one of us is gonna change. We need to just face it, I’ve got a bad attitude… and you… well… lets just say we could never be friends” I said.

“I don’t think its gonna solve anything by threatening eachother either” I added.

“So? What are you saying?” She asked.

“Im saying, I may not like you, but I can learn to tolerate you… And maybe I can calm the smarts remarks down a little.”

She took in a breath. “And I can try to tolerate you too” She said turning to me.

I nodded my head. “So… Can we go back to class?”

She nodded and we went to class.

“Nice of you ladies to re join us”

We went back to our group where Paul and Eric were talking about the project.

“Wow… no broken bones?” Paul said trynna make a serious thing funny. It didn’t work and none of us laughed.

Eric looked at me and I knew there was one more thing I had to do before the class period was over.

“Eric… I meant what I said though… were over. Its clear to me that you have feelings for Lucy. Just like its clear that I want someone else too. As much as it might hurt, were only hurting ourselves by trynna make it last.”

He didn’t say anything.

“I’m sorry.” I said just as the bell rang ending first period.
