If that's the case then I'm ready to die [Ch.21]

~Mandie POV~


I smiled at the calander like the dope I was. I ran my finger along the days, wishing they were just minutes in a day. I jumped, startled, by the sudden sound of the bedroom door closing.

"What are you doing?" he asked eyeing my curiously.

I a deep blush consumed my pale akin, and I shrugged running a hand through my blonde hair.

"Counting down the days 'til graduation? or the wedding?" Anthony asked sitting on the bed and patting the area besides him.

I bit my lip as I sat. "Both."

He smiled, "I am too, but not as obliviously."

I crossed my arms. "I didn't know anyone else was home."

"Mandie, calm down, I'm just messin' with you."

"I know, how was practice?" I said smiling.

"The usual." he glanced at my outfit. "Phil, Caleb, you, and I are going out to dinner so get ready."

I wple u[ to my alarm and slammed my fist against it until it stopped beeping.

I stretched before shaking Anthony to get up and get ready.

He showered while I made breakfast for four, then they ate while I showered.

After everyone was done and ready to get to homeroom, we piled into the car and drove to school, all annoyed and half asleep.

"Mandie!" I turned to see Jenna, Miss-I-wanna-be-popular. "And Anthony, how can someone so amazingly attractive."

"Jenna." Ant said taking my hand and leading me to my seat in homeroom, besides his.

Ever since I was pregnant she'd stolen my popularity.

No matter what, everyday she found a way to rub it in my face.

Even after knowing all the pain Ant and I went through!

She believes that she should be with him; though he wasn't popular until I made him so, last year.

Anyway, my only true friends are the guys in School Boy Humor, not that I care. Of none of them are in my class, I sit there mute.

Though, many guys try to get my attention - but not for the sake of friends.

"... anyway, you should seriously leave her. Don't you want someone who is popular? And not a nusiance or a laughing stock to even the lamest people?" Jenna was whispering to him, I was doing my best to block it out.

He eyed her, and motioned for her to come closer. Her head tilted towards Anthony's lips, ear closest. "Back off!" he screamed leaning even closer to her ear.

She covered her ringing ear and shrieked. "Forget you!"

"That'd be good for her wouldn't it?" I said to Ant who was trying to keep a smile from spreading across his face.

"Class, settle down." the teacher said walking in.

Physical Education was my worst nightmare, none of my guys only Jenna's.

I leaned against the bleachers, on the far end vacant of mockers.

My name was called and I made my way to the team I was assigned to for this week.

Three nameless guys and one other girl, today we were playing Jenna's team, all popular people.

I grunted as she checked the ball to me, I had the ball first. As I went to shoot, one of her male team mates blocked me by grabbing my chest.

I let the ball drop, one of my team mates got it, and I shoved the guy full force that had touched me.

He fell, not expecting me to react, laughing lightly. "Ah, don't get all fisty."

I kicked him and waved as the coach blew her whistle at me. "I know where the Pricipal's office is, thank you. "

"Jay, you go with her." she yelled as I stormed out of the gym.

Jay raced after me and smiled when he caught up. " Sorry, Jen told me to, she swore she'd tell on me for-"

"For what?" I insisted, maybe if he kept talking I wouldn't beat him.

"Nothing our mom should know, she'd kill me if she did."

"You're Jenna's little brother, poor thing you are." I snorted and walked into the breezey office.

"Mandie, Mandie, Mandie. Never did I expect to see you here for misbehavior." He said motioning for us to sit.

"It's allmy fault, sir. I violated her, she simply reacted." Jay said.

"Why'd you do that, now?"

He shrugged. "Can you really blame me?" he wavedhis hand at me. "I envy Anthony."

I let out a laugh, "As if."

Mr. Hahn smiled. "Don't do it again, I'm letting you off with a weeks detention." My eyes grew wide. "Sorry Mandie, but you
ll have to attend them too, you could have hurt Jay. Now get back to the gym, and change before you're late for last period."
