I heard an alarm going off, but I didn't care. I kept on sleeping.
“Kish, get up. School,” I heard someone say.
I got up. I rubbed my eyes.
Where was I? Then the night before flooded into my mind.
I groaned.
“What?” she asked.
“I'm just sore. I'm okay.”
“Oh. Well go get dressed!”
I got dressed in a Volcom shirt and skinnies. I put my pink and lime green converse on and put my hair in the usual way.
Aubrey was wearing a Panic! At The Disco shirt and skinnies, Blue converse and a matching blue hoodie.
“Ready?” she asked.
“I guess.”
So we walked to the bus stop.
But when we got there, we saw an unexpected surprise.
Josh was there waiting.
“Josh?” I asked.
“Yeah. Get in.”
So we got in.
He drove us to school and let us out.
“Err, thanks?” I asked.
“Yeah. Ha-ha.”
Aubrey and I walked into school.
Everybody stared at us. Probably because we had gotten out of that sweet ESCALADE!
Josh's Escalade.
I made a mental note to thank him.
After school was over, sure enough, Josh was there to pick us up.
People were surrounding his car like he was famous or something.
Jeff Dunham was talking to Josh. Jeff was one guy I hated associating with. Same with him with me.
“Yeah, it's an '09,” I heard Josh say.
“Wow, must've cost a fortune!” Jeff exclaimed.
'Too much you'll ever have.' I said to myself.
“It was one pretty penny!!” Josh told him.
“Okay Josh! Let's go home!” I said, not wanting to talk to Jeff.
So Josh said goodbye to his admirers and we went home.
“Why are you doing this?” I asked.
“Your house is the bus stop. I wont let him get a hold of you,” Josh said.
“A lil late for that,” I said.
“Well yeah!” Aubrey exclaimed.
“Well, lets just go back to your house, Aube.”
So that's what we did.
When we got back, we went outside.
We went onto the trampoline, and I just sat and they jumped. It would hurt too bad to jump. I ached all over.
Everybody asked what happened to me, and I just smiled and ignored them. Some people gave me dirty looks, some looked at me confused.
“I'm surprised no one asked about you today!” Josh said.
“They did. I never answered.”
“Oh. Why not?” he asked.
“I don't want anyone to know!” I yelled.
“I meant why didn't you like make up an answer. Calm down.”
“Oh. I don't know. Just didn't want to talk. Duh.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah. Well, I'm going to go eat. Be back soon,” I told them.
I walked inside and grabbed some food. I got pop-tarts and a pancake.
I walked outside with it.
“Dude! What's with that?” Josh asked looking at my food.
“I like breakfast!” I said stuffing my face.
“Pig..” he said to himself.
“Yeah.”
I continued eating and Josh continued to criticize me.
“Why not regular food?” he asked.
“Because I don't!” I yelled.
“But, pancakes and pop-tarts?!”
“Yes.” I said glaring.
I stuffed a big bite in my face.
“Wanna bite?” I asked, showing my whole mouth, and thrusting my pancake pop-tart sandwich towards him.
“Nah, homie I'll pass.”
I shrugged and ate the last bit.
I licked my fingers and he looked at me, all grossed out.
“Gotta prob?” I asked him.
“Nah.”
“Stop staring,” I said smiling.
"Why?"
“Because it's not polite. Right Aube?” I asked.
"Right!" she said smiling at Josh.
“Aw, so you're now all gangin up on me. Just cuz I'm black, right?” he asked.
“Dude! You're not even black!” Aubrey told him.
He looked at his skin.
“Dat's black homes.”
"Then you sure are a pasty black man!” Aubrey joked.
“Like a freaking reversed Oreo! Black on inside, white on out!”
I laughed at Josh.
“You dork.”
I hugged him.
“But you're my dork.”
He looked at me.
“Don't hug a gangster!” He said.
I looked up at him and frowned.
“Humph. Me no love you no more!” I told him.
I walked inside and waited for him to run after me.
He did.
“Ya know I didn't mean dat. Right?”
“Josh. I know. You're a dork. Remember? Ya dunno what your saying!” I said fluffing his hair like a little kid.
He reached up and fixed it.
“Hey! Don't touch the do!”
I glared at him.
“It's hair! Get over it!” I said stomping on his toe.
It hurt me more that him.
“Steel toed boots. Ha-ha.”
“Cowboy?”
“No!”
“Hmm..”
He walked back outside.
I burst into a fit of laughter.
“Dork.” I said to myself.
Just then my phone rang. I looked at it.
'Kyle Calling' it read.
“Hello Jello,” I said.
“Hey Kish. Where ya at?”
“Aube's with Josh. Why don't ya come on over?” I asked.
“Okay. Be there soon.”
We hung up and I waited outside.
I was texting when his car pulled up.
“Who ya texting?” he asked.
“My mom.”
“Why?”
“She wants to know where I'm at. I told her New Mexico.”
“Okay. What did she say?” he asked.
“Okay.”
“That's all?”
“Yeah. She isn't stupid. She knows I'm here. So does my dad. They both know I am here. At Aubrey's.”
“Come on. Let's go inside.”
Kyle...
“That's all?”
“Yeah. She isn't stupid. She knows I'm here. So does my dad. They both know I am here. At Aubrey's.”
“Come on. Let's go inside.”
I picked her up by the arm and walked her inside.
She was my best friend. I wasn't going to let her get hurt.
“Kyle?”
She looked at me.
“Yeah?”
“Thanks.”
She smiled.
“Thanks?” I asked.
“Thanks for always being there for me. Thanks for being my best friend when no body wanted to have anything to do with me. Thanks for everything Kyle.”
I was close to tears.
She hugged me.
“I love you Kyle.”
“I love you too Kish. Your my best friend.”
We stood there hugging and crying. That is until a car pulled into the drive way.
Her dad stepped out.
“Kish. RUN!” I yelled.
“Kyle! No! Not without you!!!”
“Kish, just go. I promise that after they leave I'll find you. Just go!”
She gave me one final look and ran inside.
Her dad walked over to me.
“Where's my daughter?!”
“I don't know.”
He looked at me disgusted.
He pushed me away and walked in.
I ran after him and screamed.
“KISH! HIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
He turned to me and slapped me.
Everything turned black.
I hoped Kish had enough time to find a good hiding place.
Or Aubrey or Josh came in.
