Who said there be a rainbow when the rain stops. All I see is a dark gloomy sky.

Anna

Waking up early was a force of habit of you feel empty inside. Literally. I was to mad yesterday to even eat when they called me down for dinner.

I got up and got dressed not even bothering to wear any of my anime shirts. There was no way another one would be ruined so I went with a simple white t shirt that Nat so kindly abandoned in my closet dark blue ty jeans and some dark boots.

I made a quick pit stop to the kitchen to grab a little snack for a long walking to school. Dad usually let around this time for work and mom doesn't wake up less then an hour. But the queen bee was sitting at the kitchen table with her phone on her hands to busy to even notice I came in.

"Mind actually sitting in a chair Nathalie?"

"What ever. Hey make sure you leave the back door open tonight."

"Why?" I remarked. I opened the fridge to grab the carton of orange juice. Can't start a morning with out it.

She pushed her wavy hair back and stood up as she slung her bag over her shoulder. Her gaze still in the phone." Seth is throwing a party and because it's a school day or whatever mom's going out tonight with titi Tania y tio Javier something about taking care of grandma I don't know point is I'm not baby sitting you so do us a Favor and keep it unlocked once I come back."

Seth is throwing a party. No brainier. Those dumb jocks only think about sports and party.

I sighed and nodded in agreement. "Be a dear and bring some beer back while your at it."

Nat looked up and smirked. Her eyes scanning me up and down and nodded."My how rebellious has this one become."

"Hey dad had guts to erase my ultimate Naruto shows now I have to sit down and search which episode I last saw."

"You so fucking lame". She laughed, she grabs the keys from the counter jiggles it and starts walking out the front to her fiat.

After 20 minutes of silence and some terrible Nickelback music we made it to school. As usual our routine was to leave me at the back of school so we wouldn't be seen. It didn't surprise me that the first thing people did in the morning was call me names and threw paper balls at me.

A few states and whispers came here and their but it was less then what happened yesterday or so. I sprinted to the junior hall to find my locker. But a super size tanned jock was resting on it until I got closer as he noticed me and straightened himself off.

He coughed and rubbed the back of his neck. Weird I just got here and he's nervous. He shifted a few time preventing me to get access to my locker.

"Is there a reason why I'm not allowed to get into my locker?" I said as I crossed my arms at my chest.

He smirked a little as his gaze seemed to be focused somewhere else." I don't see the rush why you have to head to class early." He replied.

I raised a brow ready to begin my sarcasm until I saw it. I pushed him to the side with force and was able to see what he was trying to hide. The word "slut" big, black, and written formally in fancy cursive spread across my locker.

I tapped a little but ignored it as I opened my locker to grab my history book and slammed it close. Marching down the hall to the back of the school.

"Hey hey hey!" Shouted the voice behind me. I turned around to look at him threw anger eyes but even I could feel my eyes burning begging to fall tears." Don't let what people say get to you! If you show them your weak side they might win."

"Easy for you to say! I'm being called names for things I didn't even do, And that's not fair!" I scuffed as a knot formed in my throat.

"Remember what we said yesterday! For now on I'm sticking at your side no way in hell would some one bother me. As long as your with me not even a fly would bother you."

I tried to pout not trying to be glad he's sticking up for me but I wasn't going to be a damsel in distress.

Funny thing is I didn't remember half of what he said yesterday. But to hell with it. I puffed me cheeks and sprinted to my usual destination as he followed me behind like a lost dog. When I get there Tula and Greg were across from each other with there DS on their hands. I don't see the girls yet and I can bet Tula doesn't see me if she's not 20 seconds away from the screen.

I sat down on the bench and grabbed my sketchbook and started doodling.

"What are you drawing?" He said.

I ignored his question and kept drawing.

"Is it me?"

Again I ignored.

"If it's me get my good side!you know the side that the sun is shining cause either side of my face is good."

I giggle. Literally that stupid reply from him cracked me up. " Avery unless you have boobs this isn't you."

"Those were boobs I thought I was holding watermelons or something. You suck at drawing."

"Leave the criteria at your place Avery."

"I'm just saying she's to Barbie to look good criteria runs threw my veins like it or not you should probably get used to it." He smirked as he crossed his arms on his chest resting behind the wall.

"You forced your friendship upon me,drop the charm." I scuffed putting away the book and focussing on the boy across from me.

"Talk to me about yourself." He said.

"No." I replied.

"Why not?"

"Cause I don't know you."

"Everyone knows me!"

"Well I'm not everyone!"

"Names Avery Shawn. And you?"

"Really?"

"Nice to meet you "really"! how old are you?"

I see where this is going maybe a little sarcasm here and there would stop his nagging.

"61 . No younger then you I suppose."

He smirked shifting his body in a sitting position. "I'm 18 didn't know older woman like you still need to study in high school."

Oh har har har. Very funny Avery." Sad thing about you is that we both share a girl's name."

I crossed my arms on my chest focusing his reaction.

"I don't mind. Girl's think it's attractive."

"I bet one of them was your mom. I replied.

Avery grinned and pinched the bridge of his nose. "She gave it to me after all."

"Save it jock we both know she wanted a girl."

"Partly rude on your behalf Ramirez has anyone cleaned your mouth with soap before?"

"This conversation is pointless! I'm not cracking up to you rather if you like it or not."

His gaze focused on me as he tried to open his mouth to speak his phone ranged interrupting the conversation. He stood up still talking to who ever was on the other side and waves good bye as he marches off.

Is everyday going to be like this.

Lunch break rolled around the corner, my friends and I sat at our usual seats. The girls were involved in their little world talking about boy a few stares from the neighboring table came here and there but I was used to it already. but the one gaze that wont get off me is Averys gaze from three table down keagan wasn't among them so thank god. it pretty hard as it is to talk to him after what happened.

"Anna..ANNA!! What do you think??"

I jump and snap back to reality with look of confusion "W-what??"

"Girl were you even listening?!?!.. I said what do you think about Avery he seems to have his eyes on you." Sarah elbowed my shoulder as she focused her gaze on avery from across the room." so what you said about yesterday was it him right?"

I shifted now looking at my food.

"WHAT!?! What are you talking about??"

"I seen ya'll together by your locker so asi que dime. Spill the beans!"

"Well.. He's nice I guess I don't really care for him though".

Tula and the others began looking at me with mischievous looks I started to get stiff knowing something was about to happen.

"Better not do anything ok!?!"

"Not like I'm going to anyway! God you girls are such pervs!"

"The great Anna Ramirez jock crusher!" Screamed Jenny." Hey thirds times a charm!"

"Oh my god why did you say that!" I hid my face with the palm of my hand not even bothering to look at the girls straight in the face.

"So". Sarah finally spoke." Anything planned for tonight?" She raises her eyebrows at me the usual thing when she wants gossip.

"No! Just going to have a very intimate moment with my bed he and I have a very serious relationship going on."

"Boo! You should go to Seth's party he will be there."

I raised my head locking a stern face with Sarah. "I'm not going, party's and I don't mix. So drop your plan there's no way I'm going!"

I got up and left the table not able to take all the pressure from my friends and marched down the hall to my locker. The halls were surprisingly half empty so I didn't have to face a crowed of people or anything. Yesterday was such so terrible who ever spread that rumor had nothing better to do in his or hers life.

"Hey beautiful". Said a familiar voice.

Great to freaking fantastic! The last person who I wanted to talk to was now behind me speaking to me.

I ignored him and took out my book for the next class. N/A guys I never usually have a regular class schedule so my apologies XD.

Placed it in my bag and started marching down the hall.

"Listen I know your mad but frankly you can't keep ignoring me forever."

"Oh and why the hell not?!"

"Cause baby I'm Austin Ace! And I know the person who spread the rumor about you."

I stopped mid track my gaze still ahead. A knot in my throat started to form as butterflies rummbled my stomach. Hate and fear and pain formed everywhere, but I never let it show in my face.

"Who." I spoke with a slightly calm cracked voice. "Who was it."

I could feel him shifting behind me and my guess is he had a smile plastered on that damaged face.

"You think I'll tell you valuable information without something in return?"

See I knew this was going to happen. I should follow a wise word inside my head saying. If you want something done. Do it your God damn self. But that's the pot calling the kettle black.

"If it's anything within my reach then what do you want?" I turned around to face him properly. His face wasn't that "ruined" everyone said I'd frankly wish he was pictured worse but that makes me ask to much.

He stepped closer to me and I took a step back he leaned down closer to my ear and whispered. "You, of course." My mind in blank I focused my gaze on him."Sounds like a deal?" He said.

"I think we should shorten it. Maybe a date?"

"That's up to you beautiful you have until tonight to decide."

The bell ranged and soon the halls were filled with students Austin walked away and I still stood there in the middle of the hall who from everyone here said such a thing. And what was their motive?

Bread and wine I give you this! Thanks for reading up to here guys it means so much :p
