"May I have this dance?" -The Hoodie Girl
*
I try to calm myself that today would be fine. It was a Tuesday, and today my mom was not going anywhere as far as I'm concerned.
I head downstairs, satisfied with my cute outfit. I'm wearing a burgundy sweater with some denim jeans - my hair is in pigtails and my burgundy faux knitted hat. I put some dark lipstick, it's dark matching my outfit a dark purple colour. My eyeshadow light purple and some eyeliner and mascara. My cheeks with some highlighter, nothing much.
I smile as I enter the kitchen, my mother was out with Fredrick and she looks like she has a hangover. My mother would literally do anything to get a guys attention. I never want our relationship to break.
"hey mom," I chirp. She smiles sweetly and hugs me. "Hey how's the tournament?" she asks, I shrug my shoulders. "We won." I smile, everyone one and I felt at lost as I didn't even play the rest of the game, my eyes were mostly burning holes at Chase who was smirking as he was watching.
I never told my mom he's here. She knows about him and how he and my father became wasted and no their after us. She knows Everlynn died, only her and the police but it was accidental. I never meant for any of it to happen and I still regret it, hoping I died instead of Everlynn.
"Mom, can I talk with you, after school, it's going to be a long conversation," I say, nonchalantly. I notice her take some aspirin and soothe her headache, she gasps and looks at me with a pointed look, "Yeah of course."
I nod and head out. "K, I'm going now bye."
"And Audie?" My mom asks. "Fred's daughters will come around today. They want to see you again, they miss you."
Those two, I never row sick of them, they're so fun to hang around with.
"Mhmm yeah ok," I say, then close the door behind me.
I guess I could take my mind fo Chase and other things.
I hop on my bike and ride, then a moving truck catches my eyes and I see someone move in next door.
An old woman and a young girl, she looks very sad, and when she notices me she glares. "The fuck you looking at?" She barks. I avert my eyes away but catch a glimpse of her grandma whacking her with a broomstick. "Language... young lady."
"Why'd I care." She shrieks and storms inside the dull house.
New neighbours and not a good impression, if I must say.

"Omg!" Megan shrieks as she gawks at Tyler who seems to be approaching our way. "Hey ladies." He says, but he mostly looks at me.
I blush and hide my face with my hair. "So... I was thinking, there's a party tomorrow night, it's quite odd, as there are no parties on Wednesdays, but..." He breathes.
"My parents are out of town and I just wanted to invite you girls as your obvious friends of mine, right?" His gaze is mostly fixated on me.
I feel like drowning in a bucket of leeches. I can't take any more flirts or crushes, nope not wanting to go into a new relationship; as I ruined my old one, making my EX- boyfriend psycho, and desperately wanting to, so he can avenge his late sister, yep, definitely not.
Tyler seems so fixated on only me, so I hate to break his gaze but move along buddy. "Tyler hey, can you like move your blocking my sun," I say, this isn't because he got me a detention. Nope, its because I just can't date guys anymore. I made it my life-long goal to not get married or date guys even once. I'm so not interested.
"Ermm yeah sure." He chuckles and walks off.
Megan whacks me. "Ouch!" I yelp, in sudden surprise. "What was that for?!"
"Good riddance, you just disinvited us to the coolest bad boys party, who totally had it for you." Megan states.
Tara nods along, Sasha your wondering is sitting with the populars today, yep, I'm so confused this isn't like our Sasha but we don't intervene.
Tara whacks me this time. "Ouch!" I groan. "What are you two doing to me, man."
"Go to the table and reinvite us now," Tara says, she's bluffing, I am in no way going there. I shake my head and go on my phone which Megan takes off of me.
"Yes, do it now," Megan says.
"Yes do it, please or your phone will suffer." She smirks wickedly pointing at her soup and my phone. bad combination. BAD!
"Ok, fine." I give in. Leave it to your friends who bribe you for anything.
I get up and head to the table. A few glances face me, and they snort as I approach. Avery smirks. "What do you want?"
"I need to talk with Tyler," I say, calmly.
Avery sits on Adrian's lap, her silky red hair flowing with evilness, he doesn't even glance at me, he ignores me, caressing Avery's arms. Why the sudden blackout, why is he doing this to me. I did trust you, but now you're shutting yourself out to me. Ok, fine that's the way it'll be then.
"Of course, anything for you, sweetheart." I blush and I hide it quickly. I'm a natural at this. Ugh! - don't give in, you can't date boys, you made a vow remember.
Yep, I definitely can't.
Tyler stands there, his hands in pockets, grinning like he won the jackpot. "What do you want to discuss, babe?" I cringe from his cheesy nicknames and roll my eyes.
I avert my eyes to my friends who hold my phone in their hands, giving the We'll--dip---this---in-here--if--you-don't--hurry---up!
I roll my eyes. Tyler looks confused. "Whats up? You want to be invited again or go on a date."
"On a date?" I ask, bewildered by him blurting that out, or did he really mean it.
I notice Adrian clench his jaws as I say the word "Date". Sasha and Luke are too busy on cloud 9, to even notice what's going on here.
"No - I want to go out he dates now... Please." I say, my eyes shining at him. "Jee ok, yep see you there then."
"Cool." I turn around and smile at my friends. "Iwe got reinvited," I say, excitedly. Megan and Tara jump up in excitement then the next thing shocks me, that I feel all my body shake with nothing but anger. "You dropped my phone in there Megan!" I shout everyone's attention is on us.
"Sorry, I must've slipped." She says, apologetically. But I scream and chase after her, throwing bottles of sauces at her. "You cow!" I scream, everyone gapes, looking at me horrified.
Avery stands up and records it all. I stop and glare at her. "What do you think you're doing?"
Adrian's eyes finally meet mine, it has no emotion or remorse, he doesn't care?
"Sorry but it looks like everyone needs to see what kind of person you really are, who you really are and how the world must see your real colours." She says, announcing it to the world.
"Really what people really need to see is how much of a witch you really are!" I counter back and walk off, wrapping my phone which is now covered in soup in a napkin and walking off.
Sasha looks baffled and so do the others like Adrian. He confuses me the most, why does he have split feelings, one point happy the next my enemy. I do trust him, but I can't afford for him to get hurt, I can't afford anyone to.
Mega and Tara call out to me. "Wait - we didn't mean it."
I shake my head and run off
Then bump into somebody. They push me off them before I can hardly stand. "The fuck you doing, bitch!" The girl from earlier snarls.
She looks gothic, her hair brown with purple and green highlights. Her eyeshadow all over her face making her looks scary and horrific. Her lips are dark and punctured. And her dress is like all black with rips and shards of crystals hanging around her neck.
"I'm sorry," I mutter.
"I'm sorry, what the fuck did you just say?" She says, her lips in a thin line, which shivers with disgust. "Forget it, I don't care, just get outta my way. I have to beat someone up."
I do so and move back to the water fountains and am in shock after what's happened.
I then regain consciousness as my friends find me. I push them away from me. "We're sorry." They say. "We don't mean it."
I ignore as I follow the mysterious girl, she heads to the cafeteria and to the popular table.
She freezes in front of someone, and before I know it pours hot coffee on someone. I hurry to who it is, I shiver in fear. This girl just started world war III. Not with the witch! but with Devil-Face!
He can't even register what happened. "What the fuck was that for! You stupid bitch!" He grimaces, Avery aids him giving him blankets.
He pushes her away and stands in front of the girl.
He then freezes. "Y- your here?"
"Yeah, after what you did to us, I'm here mom and dad died and you left like that, you left all of us, your sisters, your brothers you left us. Your such a bully, never caring about other's feelings and using us. When we needed you the most. Now.. I live with Grandma who suffers from Dementia. SO Gee-- thanks, Adrian you stupid, piece of shit!" She breathes, looking like a dragon, roaring her words at his face. He doesn't flinch.
"I'm so- so sorry." He says everyone records it. And I shiver in disgust, how can they record a heart-breaking moment like that.
I decided to stand on a table and breath in and out. "How can you do that?" I being, the girl glares at me when she notices me, Adrian looks at me weakly. And everyone else looks confused. "Record a heart-breaking moment, you should all be ashamed of yourselves, what kind of cowards are you, people who record something which deserves tears and blood. I can't even think of how despicable you all are."
I get off the table when I hear my name being called with disappointment. Principal Rollins stands at the cafeteria doorway with other teachers. "Miss Claire my office now! And you who are you?" He asks.
"Nobody," Adrian's mysterious enemy says, laced with coldness.
"Do you go to this school?" He asks, with dominance. She shakes her head. "Well yeah, if I am erenow, I guess I do." I facepalm myself, how dumb is she?
"She doesn't and she never will." Adrian finally speaks up, clearing his voice. He seems calm and understandable, he goes back to his table.
"Of course I will, I'm your older sister, I can do whatever the fuck I want." She says, storming down the hallways.
"Miss Claire now!" He shrieks. "Everyone else back to your needs."
Everyone does so, I follow him down the twisted hallways, finding myself suffering. I hope they all got my message. I did a right thing, right?
The principal looks disappointed oot much. It was my last warning so now I'm basically dead.
That girl and Adrian are siblings. What did Adrian do to be labelled? 'Bully.'
Adrian is so nice and assuring, calm... but his dark side is way too confusing and tangled in a never-ending spiral.
At least he isn't like that 4th-grade bully Jayden Parker or Chase Jones who is bound to kill me.
Adrian is the most self-assuring guy, I could meet. And that is why I trust as a friend. That's all, I'm not looking for that word or any of it.
Why is my life miserable?
