When I get home from school, Evangeline comes right to my house. Glad to be away from Zane.
Zane had ditched first, second, and third hour, but decided to show up for the rest of the day.
For the three hours he was there, he made fun of us in front if the whole class. So now we are the laughing stock of the eleventh grade.
Thanks a lot Zane!
"Ugh! This year is gonna be awful!" Evangeline says as she's sits down on the couch in my room.
"100% awful." I agree.
"What was so awful about it?" Kohl asks us coming in my room.
"Oh only that Zane is in all our classes and all he did was make fun of us for 3 hours." Evangeline says.
"Why only 3 hours?" Kohl asks us.
I lie down on my bed before answering. "Cause he wasn't there the first 3."
"What? I dropped y'all off though!" Kohl says.
"Yeah but he left with Logan before first hour." Evangeline says.
"You wanna tell your parents?" Kohl asks her.
"What's the point." She says.
Kohl looks confused.
"They won't believe her." I tell him.
"Exactly." Evangeline says.
"Why wouldn't they believe you?" Kohl asks.
"They think Zane is the perfect gentlemen." Evangeline says sighing.
"Really? Why?" Kohl says.
Kohl is the only other person who knows how bad Zane really is. Kohl believes us. I mean, Kohl's never been the victim of one of Zane's pranks, but he believes us.
"Cause he acts like one." I say with a laugh.
"So what did he say about you guys?" Kohl asks us.
"Just that we had no friends and we left our old school because everyone hate us." Evangeline says.
"And that we're bitches, takes advantage of people, that we hate everyone, arrogant, disgusting, and a bunch of other stuff I really don't wanna say." I tell him.
"Why the hell would he say that? You girls are the exact opposite of what he described." Kohl says standing up.
"Kohl, Zane can be pretty messed up with us." I tell him.
"But he can be really nice and sweet with you, Cordeliah." Evangeline points out.
I laugh. "Yeah right!"
"He did tell you he would show you who to stay away from." Evangeline tells me.
"He told you that?" Kohl says surprised.
I shrug. "Yeah but, I mean, he could tell me to stay away from all the good people, leaving me with the bad people to hang out with. As like, you know, a prank?" I say.
"But he looked you dead in the eye and told you to stay away from that Stacy girl, right?" Evangeline says while reaching over to poke me.
"Well yeah but-" I start
"Why is Zane nice to you, Cory, but not V?" Kohl asks us.
We shrug.
"I heard my name!" Zane says coming into my room.
Evangeline groans.
"What are you doing here?" I question him.
"Were you talking about how sexy I am, Cordeliah?" He asks me.
I throw a pillow at him.
He catches it easily. He looks at the pillow, then at me.
"Hmm... you gave me part of your bed. you must really want me." Zane says smirking.
A year ago I would've blushed at his comment, but I've become immune to his sexual taunting.
"V, make him leave!" I whine lying back on my bed.
"Hey, he listens to you better than me!" She protests putting her hands up in mock surrender.
"Zane could you leave please?" I ask him.
"No." he says.
"Zane!" I say again.
He sits on the couch next to Kohl.
"What up man?" Zane asks Kohl.
"Nothin'. You?" Kohl says.
Evangeline stands up from her spot on the couch next to Kohl and sits by me on my bed.
"Hey you wanna go mudding?" she asks me excitedly.
"Umm... yeah!" I say just as excited.
We stand up and go to my door.
"Where you girls going?" Kohl asks us.
"Mudding!" We say at the same time smiling.
"Oh can I come? I haven't gone in so long and no one wants to go with me." Zane says to us quickly.
"Take one of your girlfriends." Evangeline says to him
"I would but they won't get within ten feet of mud." Zane says.
"Sucks for you! You should've picked better girls!" I tell him.
"There aren't any girls who would go near mud at school though!" He says again.
"Guys I got to go, I think mom might be home." Kohl says.
I look at him with a questioning look. Mom won't be home for another hour, and he knows that.
Kohl catches my eye and shakes his head clearly saying don't ask.
I smile at him and turn back to Zane and Evangeline.
"Hello! We go to your school, and we're about to get covered in mud!" Evangeline tells him.
Zane isn't exactly country per se, he didn't grow up in the country. The only thing that he does, that's even semi-country, is mudding. And he loves that.
"Your the only girls that do though!" Zane says.
"Too bad you can't date one of us!" Evangeline says sassily.
Zane smirks. "Actually I could."
"Eww! You can't date your sister!" Evangeline tells him.
"Cordeliah isn't my sister." Zane says smoothly.
My head snaps up at this, I stare at Zane.
"You want to date, Cory?" Evangeline asks him surprised.
Everyone calls me Cory, but Zane. He's set on calling me Cordeliah. He says its to pretty of a name to shorten.
Zane blushes and looks away from me. "I never said that." He says simply.
"Okay..." Evangeline say slowly.
I look at Zane.
He's still not looking at me.
"Come on let's go." I tell Evangeline.
"Alright!" She says taking a step out the door.
"You coming Zane?" I ask him.
He looks up and his eyes meet mine.
"What? He can't come! Cory..." She whines.
"Just because he's been mean to us, doesn't mean we have to be mean to him, V." I remind her. "That ain't us."
She thinks about it for a minute.
"Your right. Come on Zane." She says to Zane.
She walks out the door and I follow her.
"Cordeliah wait." Zane says.
I reluctantly turn around. He knows how much I like mudding.
"What Zane?" I ask
"I just wanted to say thanks for being so nice to me." He says.
"Your welcome!" I tell him then turn around again.
"Cordeliah! I'm not done!"
"What?" I groan.
"I wanted to give you a hug for being nice to me." He says scratching the back of his neck.
"Umm sure." I move closer to him but I stop moving as he starts talking again.
"And... I wanted to ask if you like water." he says.
"What?" I ask confused.
That's when I notice the little remote in his hand. I look up as I hear the door to the attic open in the ceiling.
"Zane!" I yell as a bucket of icy water dumps on my head and all over my room.
I let out an aggravated sound.
Zane starts howling with laughter.
"Zane! Why the hell did you do that?" I say my voice full of hatred.
"Language Cordeliah." He warns
I flip him off. "I'm done." I tell him turning to leave.
"I'm coming!" He says still laughing.
"No! No! I was trying to be damn nice and you dump a damn bucket of water on me! Your an asshole, Zane!" I yell.
He looks amused by my yelling.
"I'm done! You can go home!" I tell him leaving.
When I finally make it outside Evangeline is already on her quad ready to go.
"What took you so long? And why are you all wet?" she asks me.
"Zane." I say since that one damn word answers both of the questions.
"What did he do this time?" She asks me.
I take my quad out of the garage and bring it next to Evangeline. I climb on my amazing camo quad and look at her.
"Well first it was I want to thank you for being nice to me. Then it was I want to give you a hug for being nice to me. Next thing I knew a bucket of water is dumped on my head!" I say frustrated.
She starts her quad and I do the same.
"We have got to get him back for all of this. Four years of pranks and teasing." She tells me.
"We really do." I agree.
"And we're gonna do it country style." she says before taking off into the mud.
I laugh and follow her on my quad.
She is so right. We are gonna get back at him, but country style.
Something he doesn't know how to do.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So what do you think country style is? I really have no clue, it just sounded good so I put it in there.
If anything offends you, I swear I don't mean to. I'm a country girl myself and this is just how I view things. That is how things are at my school. I'm like the only one who goes mudding... it's kinda sad....
