"Oh fine, I'll stop. Oh gods, look who it
is." Jenna said. As I looked up I saw who it was. Tammy, aka the most
popular girl in the school. And oh god she's coming over here. She's been after
Brad for months now. Crap! If she sees me with him she can really hurt me. Not
literally, since she’s afraid of breaking a nail, but she could destroy my
semi-social life.
"Um,
I'm going to go get a soda from the vending machine. Anyone want
anything?" I said standing up.
"Um,
yeah and I'll come with you." Brad said getting up too.
"No,"
I said to quickly. I turned around and walked away. I could tell that Brad was
following me. I also knew that I needed to get out of the cafeteria. So I
practically ran out of there. When I stopped I realized that I was right next
to my locker. I opened it up and got out some chips. I sunk to the floor and
started to scarf it all down. I was starving because I had not eaten lunch yet
we were all planning on getting our lunches after Jenna's story. Suddenly I
heard a lot of footsteps coming from the way I had come. Suddenly Brad, Mike,
and Tucker came around the corner half running.
"Oh
there you are," Tucker said jogging up to me. "What the hell was that
about?" He said offering me a hand up.
"Um,
it's a long story." I said taking his hand and pulling myself up with his
help.
"We
got time. Now tell us what this is all about." Said Brad, stepping up and
taking my hand.
"Fine.
Okay, you know Tammy?" They all nodded "Well she's, like, totally
into you Brad, and she doesn't like when I'm around you." I said.
"Okay. Well, it wasn't that long of a story."
"Um,
what does that have to do with you totally leaving us all?" Mikey said
starting to backup.
"I
told you she doesn't like me with Brad, and why are you backing up?" I
said looking at him closely.
"Well,
I kind of left my girlfriend waiting there so I'm going back, plus I'm
starving." He said and turned around and started to walk away.
"Come
on let’s get back," Tucker said jogging to catch up with Mikey.
"Okay,
but if I get killed, I'm blaming you." I said and starting to walk with
them. Brad had come up behind me and put his arm casually over my
shoulder." I'm serious," I said with a totally straight face. We all
burst out laughing. I rounded and I stopped laughing, because there at the end
of the hall, was Tammy and all of her little preppy friends. "Ah,
shit." I said out loud so the boys could hear me. Oh god, she bribed the
football team to help. I'm a dead woman. All of my friends looked up and fell
silent.
"Gold,
do you remember what I told you to do last week?" Tammy said glaring at
Brad’s arm that was slung over my shoulder.
"How
many people did you have to have the football team kill so you could become
queen? Oh, wait, you’re not queen, sorry," I said walking forward and
slipping out of Brad's arm.
"Shut
up. I told you to stay away from him and you didn't heed my warning." She
said walking forward as well. She walked up until we were about a foot apart.
"Guys, why don't you hold on to these fine gentlemen?" Tammy said and
the football team walked forward and grabbed Tucker, Mikey, and Brad by the
wrists and stood behind them. Then Tammy's hand shot out aiming for my face,
but at the same time my hand shot out and caught her fist.
"Wow,
I underestimated you. You really can fight. I can honestly say, I thought you
were bluffing. Of course, the bluff didn’t really scare me because you were
wearing all pink. But, apparently, you’re willing to get a little down in the
dirt.”
“Shut up!” Tammy snapped trying to
get her fist free.
“Look, let’s get something
straight. I hate you and you hate me, and if you hit me I will hit you back and
I honestly don’t want to get into a fight. Got it?" I said looking her in
the eye. She nodded. "Good," I said turning away. I walked up to
Tucker and grabbed his hands from behind him and tore them from the other guys
hands, then walked up to Mikey and did the same thing. When I walked toward
Brad he was already taking his hands out of the other guy’s hands. I walked up
to him until I was about an inch away from Brad and glared up at the other
dude. "I think we're done here," I said taking Brad's arm and
bringing him over to Tucker and Mikey. “Let’s go back to the cafeteria." I
said starting to walk away. They just followed with baffled expressions in their
faces.
When
we got back to the cafeteria Jenna ran up to us. "Where were you?"
She said looking at me, then Mikey, then Tucker, and Brad.
"Um,
I forgot something in my locker and I suddenly remembered it so I went to go
get it and the guys thought I was in trouble so they went after me.” I answered
as we settled down at our table again.
