RAIN

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Princess, happy birthday to you."

I'm smiling and bowing as my dad approaches with a plate loaded with waffles and a candle on top. The waffles smell divine and the rich maple syrup drizzled on it makes it better.

"Make a wish Princess."

I close my eyes and wish that things will be better at school. I open them again and blow out the candle.

"You're so grown up Princess, your mother would be so proud."

I sigh and give him a hug. "I miss her too." I say.

"Enough of this drabness, you turn 17 today. You should be very excited."

"I'm literally the last person in my class to turn 17, trust me, it's not that great."

"Whatever. It's great because I say it is."

I take a seat at the table with my birthday breakfast while dad fiddles with his phone. He's trying to hide the worried look on his face but I see it.

"Everything okay?" I ask.

He looks up and smiles. "Yeah, everything is perfect."

His phone starts ringing and h

  • I Kissed My Bully   CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

    XAVIER I've not been to school in a week and I have not spoken to my friends since the incident. It's too silent but I'm not going to reach out. We're all wrong, if this is the end of the friendship then I'm okay with it. Every morning I wake up and remember that Rain skipped town and her dad won't tell me where she is, my anger increases. I can find her if I really want to but what's the point? She hates me. Things between us will never be okay. I should accept that.I go downstairs and to the dinning room to see what's for breakfast. My father is already there and he's reading on his iPad.One big surprise in all this is that my father has left me alone. He came back on the third day and even though he knew I haven't been to school, he didn't ask me anything about it, didn't even mention it."Good morning." I greet.He nods and keeps reading his paper. I load my plate with food and sit down to eat. He calmly puts his iPad on the table and turns to me."Took you a week, I had my mo

    RAINFor the next two nights, I do nothing but cry. I had to watch my father's face drop in sadness as I told him about the car. He wasn't even sad about the car he spent months saving to buy, he was more worried about me and it made it worse. Those assholes took the joy of my birthday from me and they weren't even sorry. I hate all of them but I hate Xavier more for insisting to stay out of it, even at that point. I knew he didn't love me but we were cool. Sometimes we talked about the most random things and I expected him to at least tell them they were out of line. There's a knock on the door and I quickly wipe my tears. I really should stop crying about Xavier and his friends. The door is pushed open and my grandmother walks in. She looks uneasy. When I showed up with my dad, they were shocked and if had been up to her, they would have sent me away but my grandfather stepped in and they agreed to keep me till I finish from highschool."Your father called, he couldn't reach you.

    XAVIER I walk out of the principals office and head straight for the coaches office. Today is practice, we just didn't go. Those two didn't go because they were too tired from being vandals and I didn't go because since Rain told me to leave her life, I've found it impossible to find interest in anything.Coaches sees me approaching and frowns. "Is this the time you're coming for practice?" "I'm not here for practice coach, I want Derrick off the team.""What? Why? He's really good.""You don't want to say no to me right now, coach."He wants to say one more thing but he shuts his mouth and nods."Text him right now and tell him he's off the team. No reason, no explanation, just off the team."I walk away without waiting for a reply. That's the thing with adults who sell their conscience for money. They'll do anything to keep the money coming. Coach and the principal both know that even though my father wants to know everything I'm doing, he'll cut them down if he feels that they d

    XAVIER "So this is the reason you asked me to drop everything and come here?"Derrick laughs while Camden watches me quietly. He hears the fury in my voice while Derrick is oblivious "Yeah, Lacey texted and said she was coming. I had a feeling she'd come to my house first."I take deep breaths, trying to stop myself from bashing his head on the pavement. How dare he hurt her and have the guts to make jokes about it. It was never supposed to go this far. "Why didn't you tell me you were planning this?"He shrugs. "You've been uninterested in everything. I didn't want to tell you about it so you could 'hmm' and walk away without talking to me."I want to say a lot of things. I want to do a lot of things but I control myself. Rain is nothing to me. I shouldn't ruin years of friendship because of her."Call off the police." I finally say."What? Don't you see the damage to made to my car?"I look at the car and some of my anger ebbs away. She did good, she got some hits in before I too

    RAINEva is standing in front of me waving her hands but I can't hear her. Buck and Chad are at the car and there accessing it. This doesn't feel real. It's like an out of body experience. Eva starts shaking me and I come back to reality."No!" I scream and fall to the ground.I think back to all the night shifts and double shifts and jumping from one job to another just to be able to afford this car and those evil people ruined it in one afternoon. I wipe my tears and stand up. Eva is still talking but I can't hear her. She holds me and I break away from her grip. I turn and walk away. I walk to where they usually park and their spots are empty. They left. If they think this will be end silently like with my clothes then they're mistaking. I walk into the administrative building and go straight to the principals office. Eva is yelling for me to calm down and think things through but I don't hear her.I walk past the secretary and push the door open. The principal is startled at my e
