Through half of our classes, he doesn't even look at me once which should hurt his neck cause I'm at his side but he's not even looked anywhere else asides from his front view and down view. With each class that ends, and the small breaks in between, everyone is talking about Caramel, Kai and I. This is the most cliche thing I've seen in Aeria high since a teacher dated a student! And that itself has never happened! Do you think they'd fight? The nerd and the cute boy? Besides, why her? Didn't the cute ones twin like kiss her, during gym class? Who the fuck is this dumb bitch that has people around her doing stupid things? But I ignore them because I know Kai isn't angry at me anymore. He gets the part that I hurt his feelings but he also knows, or at least thinks I'm doing it for a reason, or they are doing it for a reason. I doubt he think it's a good reason but he's worried about me, and is hurt that I'd do something with them and not him. And that makes me more sad. As s
Who the fuck is she??Okay, guys, I just had this mind-blowing idea! What if, dun dun dun! Stradella and Channing were fighting in the locker room because they both like her?Carl is cute and all but he's soooooo-I repeat, WHO THE FUCK IS SHE??!!On a scale of one to a thousand, my woman intolerance number would be a minus zero because how the fuck is this any of their businesses?!You see something pretty, you like it, you fucking appreciate. That's the fucking problem with women. They don't appreciate. They think everything is a fucking competition.It's one reason I see them all as idiots."Twelve thousand likes, Mel!" I say, shoving my phone into his face "That's more than what even I have gotten!"It's his account, which for the first time since we opened it, is actively gaining something but he doesn't even bother to look at the screen "C-Cool"I pout, taking my phone away from him before turning to Cream and shoving it to his face "What do you think?"He doesn't answer.Fine.
I giggle, turning back to them "I'm gonna paint her! The look of horror on her face! She thought I was going to hurt her"My baby brother looks at me. Finally, except the gloomy look isn't gone. It's just replaced with worry "You weren't, were you?""Oh no, Mel" I shake my head "Not publicly"He keeps staring.I laugh "I jest baby, I jest, but let's talk about the newest shit on ground. My dear Kitten""I swear to God, if you talk about her one more time-""Would you rather I talk about shits like how many calories I lost? No shit, Sherlock. Plus, I know you like hearing me talk even though you pretend that you don't, except now, I'm talking about something you give a fuck about!""That hasn't been proven yet""Baby, denial suits you but I don't fuck with that" I turn back to Caramel "Holy shit! I got it!"He blinks "What?""I'd take Vanilla shopping! Obviously, the reason why they're saying shits about her are this horrible dreary clothes they make us wear. When I get her in some rea
The drive is silent, her scent that reminds me of the boys and me wafting all through the car. Her eyes don't turn to me and maybe, just maybe, I wanted her to smile at me so I say "I got asked if I'd like to join an advanced placement class. Advanced Calculus, that is" "That's wonderful, Vanilla" She says, sparing me a smile "What did you say?" I smile too "I said yes" "Immediately?" I look at her now "Was that a bad idea?" "No, of course not, dear." She says, looking back to the road "It's a good thing that you agreed since it helps you get in colleges easier but I thought you might like to consider it before actually agreeing. Advanced classes aren't just advanced for anything. Not that I don't think you can't handle it, I'm wondering how you'd be able to squeeze time for Coach Ace" I facepalm "Oh, Jesus. I forgot about that" "Well, don't. He'd he very happy to see you on Friday" "He told you that?" She nods "Yes" I sink more into the leather seat. "Why?" She looks at
EJ runs to me now, his body shoving so deeply into my stomach that I cough out first before he squeezes me like I'm some teddy and looks up at me making me say "Jesus, EJ, princesses have to be treated more carefully" "Oops, sorry" He does not look sorry at all and his grip hasn't lessened "I'm so happy to see you! Because I've been really really good!" "Have you?" I ask, watching him nod as he takes his hands off my body and salutes "Yes, Ma'am!" "Hmmm" I walk around him, using my hands on my chin and stroking an imaginary beard before I grab him from behind and say "Then why are you laughing?" He laughs "How are you doing that?" I begin to tichkr him, louder laughs leaving his body as I say "Ah ha! People laugh when they lie" He's twisting and turning as he says in between his screams "It's because you're tickling me!" I grab him and pull him into my body, rubbing my hands over him as he laughs out loud "See, you're still laughing!" "Cause you're tickling me!" We're both l
We leave the building and walk to the lot lot before he suddenly grabs my arm and pulls me back. I whip my head around to face him as he says "You're one of them, aren't you?" He's squeezing too tight and it hurts "What the fuck are you talking about?" "One of the patients staying at her house" He says, with disgust in her voice "Troubling her with your stupid problems and existence" "What—" "You have no idea who she is, do you? Her worth. You all make use of her kindness and give her nothing in return but suffering. You useless pieces of—" "Take your hands off the Lady, Damon" I turn, surprised to see Alex now next to us. I also notice that I've never heard him sound so— Cold. Damon stares at him, recognition in his eyes before he shoves me into Alex and storms back into the building. I move away from him as I hold my arm, Alex staring at me "Are you okay, Lady Vanilla?" His voice is back to it's usual tone as I nod "Yeah, but don't tell Doc" He blinks at me. "I don't
That night, after the whole crazy episode with Chocolate, because he is losing a screw in his head, I'm sure of it, I asked Doc if I could sleep in her room.I'm sure I'd never seen her look so surprised before but my excuse was since Coco was acting creepier than normal, he could want to sneak into my room again and it'd be a risk if I didn't hide somewhere, at least.She had chuckled and allowed me to stay.Then to make matters more surprising, my mouth moved and asked her if the boys could stay with me.She hadn't looked too surprised about this one and said with her usual calmness "I'm afraid not, dear""Oh" I was so embarrassed after that reply.Why did I even ask that in the first place? What, in the world, prompted that very embarrassing question?I was even trying to find a new way of hiding under a sheet and disappearing forever when she added "But one of them could stay over"Okay, I didn't feel too embarrassed that time. "One person?"She nodded, her eyes moving to the brui
"Since you are as clueless as my darling brother, I must, as usual, come to your rescue" He says "With the current rumors going around, the whole world is wondering what sort of food you eat, what kind of clothes you wear and if you actually know the right angles in taking your pictures""Tell them it's none of their business""That's the wrong thing to say because Instagram is all about making it their business" He says "Do you want this cookies or not?"I don't say anything."Good girl" He faces the chart again "As I was saying, we four are the most followed people in Aeria. At least, in the teenage sector. I have about a million followers because I post regularly and there's nothing I don't look good in, Strawberry has the same amount, give or take, because girls like bad boys or boys who can crush the wind out of their throats, Cream has about a thousand less because they all think he's a snob but would still fuck it and Caramel— Ah well, Caramel currently has more than all of us
