Chapter 14: FriYAY

This was going to be weird. How do you like....ignore someone? I'm such a friendly person! I don't understand how I'm going to just act like he doesn't exist. He owes my little sister and I food, and I sure as hell am NOT letting him take her alone. Maybe he can just send us take out? Or maybe I can just cancel the whole thing! His pay back can be to tell his goons to leave my little brother alone!

I sit up from my bed. I don't want to go to school today. I know, it's the first week, but so much has happened!

"Sarah! Help! Clothes!" I yell. Sarah walks in with an apple in her mouth and an adorable outfit.

She wore a cotton candy pink romper with lace lining her mid thighs, cropped jean jacket and white Tom's.

"How yah feelin' today?" She asks, looking in my closet.

"Meh." I say. She rolls her eyes and disappears into my clothes. 1 min and 45 seconds later she comes out with a champagne pink velvet skater skirt and walks to my drawer and grabs a white tub topped body suit.

I stare at the outfit.

"What shoes, would I wear with this?" I ask confused. She rolls her eyes once again.

"You're hopeless." She says and walk toward my closet again. Scanning through, she pops out and walks to her room holding her finger up indicating that I should wait.

She then comes back in with white ankle boots. I sigh and grab them.

"Thank you." I say and get ready.

____________________________

When I was ready, I took a minute to observe myself. It looks like I'm going to a party or something, but hey! It is Friday, and I am me.

I wore my hair down with loose curls and I wore shimmery light pink ULTA lipgloss. I look stupid. Good, but stupid. I'm trying to avoid a boy, by looking extra. When she asked me how I was feeling today I should have told her I was trying to be discreet. I'm an idiot.

As I was halfway out my room, I couldn't do it. I could not walk out this room with a velvet skirt on. So I ran back to my closet and scanned, I found some black highwaisted distressed jeans and put them on. Feeling relieved I walked out feeling comfortable and sexy! Without being too extra.

  "What happened to the skirt?" Sarah asks.

  "I can't wear that to school, it looks like I'm going to break into dance!" I exclaim. Sarah rolls her eyes.

   "Whatever. The pants are cute though." She says. I smile and grab a strawberry yogurt,
granola bar, a bowl, and a spoon. I place the granola bar in the bowl and crush it with my spoon and then scoop the yogurt on it, mixing it together to make deliciousness.

  I sit at the table with the rest of my family, excluding my father and eat. Seth was there. Which had me thinking. When did he even get home?

   "Morning, Seth." I say with a little more attitude than I intended. He looks at me and gives me a 'does it really look like I want to talk to you' type face and I  just roll my eyes.

   "Seth, your sister said Good Morning, don't be rude." My mom says. Seth looks up from his toast and glares at me, for what reason? I have no clue. I should be mad at him not the other way around.

   "Morning." He barely whispers and I fake smile in his direction, just so my mom wouldn't push it further than it had to be.

   "Seth, you sure know how to hide, its like I never see you. Even at school." Sarah says with suggestion.

   Seth tenses.
"Yeah, I know. Its a bummer we don't share any classes." He says  slyly. My mom pouts a little showing empathy to his statement.

   "Maybe next year?" Mom suggests. They both nod, wearing fake smiles. As mom focuses back on her food Seth sends eye daggers Sarah's way and she just smirks.

  "Guys, its time to go." I say standing up. They reluctantly follow. We say our goodbyes and leave out the door. Gabbie, Michelle and Travis were on their way like always and we all walked to school. Gabbie and I having our own conversation, Sarah and Travis talking, Seth listening to music and Michelle texting.

   As we make it to the school, our conversations die down and we sigh as we enter. It was Friday. I made it through an entire week of school. More like FriYAY! Amazing.

   "See you guys later." I say and walk to my class, already having my textbook in my bag because we had homework.

   ""'"""'"''""""""'""""""""""""""""

"Good Morning, once you guys are settled in, please pass your homework to the front." The teacher states. I sigh and do as told, a little relieved Ethan wasn't here.

  The door opens, I thought it was just a late kid so I didn't look up until I heard the teacher.

"Mr. James, what a surprise. Take a seat." He says and my head snaps up. It was him. Wearing a white V-neck protected by an olive green bomber jacket and black ripped skinny jeans.

  He turns in his homework before sitting down and I automatically think.... what???

He does his homework? What kind of bad boy criminal comes back home from shooting dice and robbing pedestrians does their homework? This is why rumors don't add up.

   "Hey." I hear someone say and I pounce back into reality.

   It was Ethan.

"H....Hey." I say oddly. What in the world Sam???

   "You okay?" He asks. I nod, not wanting to speak and sound as fragile as I did before. He smiles and looks away. I put my head down and frown at myself. I lower my head as much as possible. Basically smothering my face in my none existing boobs.

   Suddenly, I get a boost of confidence. I don't know why, but something just didn't feel right about shutting him out. I liked talking to him. Even though we've never had a really deep conversation. That was going to change. Instead of cutting him off, I'm going to get to know him. I think he's misunderstood.

"What are you doing Saturday?"  I ask out of the blue. Ethan turns his head towards me and shrugs.

  "Why?" He asks.

"I want that food you owe me." I say with a smirk. He gives me a little slanted smile and I almost fainted.

Whaaat? It was cute okay?
