second, though it would be awesome. “Okay, obviously
you can’t go now. But once we graduate, you can do whatever you
want. Take a break and enjoy yourself, clear your head.” My waffles
pop up and it startles me making me jump out of my seat. I’ve
always been easily scared. Brooke laughs at me this time and I
can’t help but laugh. A tear starts rollin’ down my cheek and I
wipe it away before more follow its leader. Damn tears are gonna
ruin my makeup.
     
    On the way to school, I keep thinking about
Lucas, and whether Sarah has managed to sweet talk herself into
Lucas’s heart. I can’t wait to see him. He’s been busy lately with
family affairs and we haven’t talked much. I miss my best friend. I
just hope my feelings don’t complicate things. I would hate that.
We arrive to school and I get out of the car. I scan the area for
signs of her. She’s no where in sight. I’m usually her ride to
school but since I took off; my mom knows I wouldn’t be in favor of
taking her to school this morning “Hey baby, where ya been?” Brady
grabs my waist. I love his strong muscular arms. I feel safe. I
turn around to face him. “Hey, sorry I had family issues. I stayed
the night with Brooke.” He looks at me concern on his face. “What
happened?”
    After I tell him about the argument at
dinner he gives me a “I’m not surprised” look. I purposely left out
the part about Sarah’s plans to seduce to Lucas. He’d have a very
different expression on his face then, considering that Lucas and
Brady don’t like each other. He wraps me in his arms and I lean my
head into his chest, inhaling his awesome masculine cologne scent.
As long as I’m like this, I can forget about Lucas, at least for a
little while. I feel like crying in his arms. How can life all of a
sudden get so complicated and confusing?
    “ Listen, Sarah is at an
age where she is exploring and testing boundaries. Rebelling. We
all went through that stage.” Brady has a point. We did crazy stuff
at her age. But it doesn’t mean it’s right and that I should just
let it happen. I look up at him; his dark eyes show, maybe love and
wisdom. Why can’t I love him? I thought I did. But it seems I am
torn, confused about a path, which that seems safe and familiar, as
well as, mysterious and unknown. He smiles and leans down to give
me a kiss. It’s a sweet kiss, as opposed to his urgent and hungry
kiss in my car yesterday. It’s nice. I break away and take his
hand, as we walk towards the building. Brooke right by my
side.
    Then…..I see her. She’s on the side of the
building in a group huddle with a few of her friends. And they
are…..what the Hell? I walk toward them, mind racing at fast
pace.
    “ Abby, what are you
doing?” Brady calls to me. “Just let her go Brady.” I hear Brooke
tell him. I turn to look at them and they see what I see. Brady
nods as if to say “I get it now”. I hear Sarah laughing as her
friend says something I can’t quite make out. “Oh shit. Put it up.”
Haley, her best friends grunts. They see me approach and Sarah puts
on a fake sinister smile.
    “ Well hello dear Abby.
Have a fun slumber party with Brookie pooh?” She says
sarcastically, which makes me want to smack that look off her
face.
    “ Cut the crap Sarah! What
the fuck is this? You doing drugs now? It’s not bad enough you’re
getting in trouble at school, you want to add to the pile of shit
mom has to deal with?” At this point I’m enraged. How dare she find
more excuses to make my mother worry. She cares about no one but
herself. She gives me a “Go to Hell” look and I get in her face.
“What the hell is going on with you?” I look at Haley, frustrated.
“Do your parents know you’re doing drugs?” She looks down at the
ground and starts fidgeting, nervously. “Look boss, we weren’t
doing any harm, just experimenting a little. No big deal. So just
turn around and march on over to your friend and Assface, they’re
waiting for
