MNL-Chapter 17

Chapter 17

            Monday is the day I hate the most. We had to go back to school. I hate school with a passion because Michelle always makes it horrible for me. I didn’t tell anyone that Alex and I are dating. I didn’t really talk to any of my friends yesterday. I was also glad that Alex was back at home. He told me last night that he was still going to save money. He didn’t tell me the reason why, but I guess that was a good thing.

            I was excited to see Alex. That was the only good thing about school lately. As long as I don’t run into that loser Jonathan I will be fine. I’m happy that he hasn’t been coming near me lately. I’m still shocked that he kissed me the other day too. I don’t like him and he doesn’t like me. His words don’t faze me anymore. He knows that and I know he was just trying to get under my skin. Michelle was coming back to school today also. I know she likes Alex, but he doesn’t like her. Alex refuses to talk to her or hang out with her. I understand that.

            He doesn’t like her because she picks on me. Michelle is an evil person to begin with. I walked to school through the park today. I didn’t want a ride since it was a really nice day for autumn. I was thinking a few things over. I really don’t understand why Michelle and Jonathan entered my mind. They are going to stay a couple. Honestly, they deserve each other.

            “Hey Aubrey, how are you this morning,” I heard a voice say from behind me. It was Theresa. I gave her a big smile.

            “I’m doing alright. How are you doing,” I asked her with a smile. I was in a good mood this morning. I just didn’t let any of my emotions show on my face. Alex isn’t around right now. That makes me sad right now.

            “I’m doing well. Thank you for asking,” she responded.

            “You’re welcome. I really hate Mondays. There is going to be so much crap from the two love birds for the next five days. I don’t really care about them anymore honestly. I won’t let them press my buttons anymore. I will have a change in attitude,” I said with fire burning in my eyes. Theresa started laughing and I did too.

            I thought for a couple of minutes and I realized that I’ve been in a good mood since this morning.

            Mason walked into my room this morning. He was smiling pretty wide. I could tell he was in a great mood. It’s been a while since he’s been in this great of mood. “Aubrey isn’t it such a wonderful morning!”

            “Yes, it’s a great morning. What’s going on with you today, bud? You seem to be excited about something.”

            “No reason,” he in a sing song voice. He made me laugh because I haven’t heard him do that in a while. He does that when he’s in a good mood. That was a good sign. Maybe he’s going back to normal. I really hope Mace does.

            He sat next to me on my bed. Mace gave me a huge hug and kiss on the cheek. I was not used to him giving me kisses. I gave him a hug back and ruffled his hair. He glared at me a little bit. He was getting tired of me messing up his hair. Oh well.

            “See you later, sis. I have to get to school early today. I have something really important to take care of,” he left and I was happy that he was happy.

            Alex met with Theresa and I over near the school entrance. He kissed me on the cheek and I blushed a little bit. I still wasn’t used to the idea of dating him yet. I was happy he’s been there for me. Theresa looked back and forth between us. She gave us a suspicious look.

            “Hey honey, how’s your morning going,” Alex asked.

            “Not too bad,” I said with a smile on my face.

            “That’s good. I’m just happy that I’m living back home now. My dad went to stay with a friend he made when we first moved here. I’m excited Mom’s getting a divorce. He doesn’t deserve her love. He never showed her respect,” Alex said.

            “Are you guys dating,” Theresa responded.

            “Yes, we are,” Alex responded.

            “Oh my goodness, I couldn’t wait for you two to get together! You have to be the cutest couple I have ever seen! I’m so glad you two are together,” Theresa said happily. I gave her a huge hug and was glad that she happy for us. I wonder how my other friends are going to react. I wonder how Jonathan was going to react. I was going to find out pretty soon.

            “Thank you. I like being with Alex. I never really expect him to like me. I was his first friend in this school. I could tell him everything without him judging me. He’s the best boyfriend I will probably ever have. Jonathan was just alright when we were dating. Alex is better than him,” I responded and kissed Alex forcefully. I could tell he was a bit shocked. He kissed me back and Theresa just smiled at us.

            “I like being with you also, Bre.”

            “Wait, why weren’t you living in your own home,” Theresa asked in a confused tone. No one, but I knew what was going on. The mood soured a little bit. Alex was definitely not in the mood to discuss his home life. I understood that. He didn’t know Theresa that well.

            “That’s nothing for you to be concerned about. Aubrey can tell you what happened, but only if she wants to,” Alex responded coldly. I gave him a look. He just stayed quiet, but stood there anyway.

            “It’s a long story. I don’t really want to explain it right now, but I can tell you another time,” I responded as nicely as possible. That was to make up for Alex’s coldness towards Theresa. Plus I wasn’t really in the mood to explain what happened yesterday either. I looked at the ground. It was starting to get a little uncomfortable. It wasn’t Theresa’s fault. Alex’s cold demeanor was making it rather uncomfortable.

            “I’m sorry for asking. I was just worried about you yesterday. I just wanted to understand what was going on,” Theresa asked sadly. I didn’t want her to feel sad. I felt bad that Alex was being so cold right now.

            “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you sad. I just don’t want to talk about it right now,” Alex said apologetically. He stalked off after that.

            “I’ll tell you now. I just didn’t want to say it in front of him. His father had kicked him out. He told Alex’s mother that he was dead. He’s probably still grouchy because of that,” I responded. I sighed a little bit.

            “Oh, that’s horrible! I want to kill his father,” she exclaimed. I chuckled a little bit because I honestly want to do the same thing.

            “I do too,” I responded with a small smile. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one.
