Avery Filleigh
I woke up to the sound of rain, which is so annoying cause I have to be in school by 8:00am. I stood up from my bed, walked to the bathroom, but before I got to my light switch, something hit my leg, making me yelp" oww" while holding the affected part of my leg and jumping till I fell flat on my back.
I looked up to see a light coming from my bedroom door.. Trying to see who it was, which of course was starting to give me the creeps. I realised it was my very kind and pleasant brother.
"Good morning monkey" Adrian said smiling like an innocent kid which made him look cute- okay no!.
"Aren't you going to school today? You look like a monkey who couldn't get a banana from a baby" he said while laughing at his insult.
I finally got up from the floor and was ready to attack my dear brother back for what he said, but then I'm a sweet and loving sister so I won't do anything.
I just said "that's dumb" but the idiot was still laughing.
Going downstairs, I saw my mother and my brother eating breakfast. My smile dropped
He isn't suppose to be here.
Thinking that, I was about to leave when my mum called me back.
"Sweetie? Won't you join us for breakfast?"my mum said trying to convince me to stay.
"No actually mum, I'm okay. I will get some lunch in school" I said putting on a fake smile.
"Ave why don't you want to eat breakfast with us?" Who does he think he is?
" First of all Mr Bradley, the name's Avery and I already told my mum that I won't be eating " I said about to turn
"What do you mean by that? Don't you have respect for your dad?" My mum scolded
"Dad? Who's my dad? I don't think you know what you're saying, this man here seated with you, left you for a girl young enough to be my sister 3 years and now he's here all of a sudden. I mean, mom, what were you thinking letting this man into this house, having breakfast with you.....you know what, I don't even care." I sighed in frustration.
"I have school and I don't want anything ruining my morning.....so bye" I said, infuriated by just the thought and started walking straight to the door, before anyone could stop me.
As i got outside, the cold water brought me back to reality.
"Fuck!" I exclaimed. Not caring if they heard me or not.
"How do I get to school?" I mumbled to myself. I saw a black Mercedes approaching my house. It must be a billionaire coming to kidnap me.
The car stopped and wait this car looks familiar..........
The car opened itself and I immediately jumped into my defence position.
Yeah I went for taekwando classes
"Hurry up and get in dummy!" Oh it's you
I got in and put on my seat belt.
"Didn't think you'd come back after summer break" I said once I was settled.
"I wasn't. I just thought you might want to see my beautiful face one last time" Derek, my best friend since kindergarten, said.
After last summer, most of Hilberge high had travelled outside the country. Most of them following their dreams. And obviously Derek was part of that group, so I didn't really expect him to resume with the rest of us.
"Ughhhh you're not listening again. I thought you'd leave that behind" he groaned. Well I didn't
"What were you saying ?" I turned my attention to him. He ignored me
"Oh c'mon" I grabbed his hand, slightly pulling it away from the steering wheel.
"Do you want to get us all killed?" He widened his eyes and faced me.
"Then tell me" I said
"Oh well since you keep begging me, then I have no choice-"
"Don't bother" I turned to look at my window. He laughed at my reaction.
"I met this girl. I think her name's Fiona or...Felicity"
I scoffed "you don't even remember her name? How sweet" I chuckled
"That's not the point. The point is I think she's the one" he turned and gave me a serious look. I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You think she's the one?" I laughed harder.
"Hey stop laughing. Its not funny." He pouted.
"Of course it is. You say this every year after summer camp. Do you still expect me to keep on agreeing with you that she's the one? That's hilarious" I continued laughing .
"Okay fine. At least i didn't send her a letter to confess my love" he gave me a weird look, which made me stop and face him.
"Um..and what do you mean by that?" I said
"I'm just saying....we both know about that letter you wrote to Xavier and how he never replied or possibly never even read it" he stopped the car and luckily we were already at school. I scoffed and got out of the car.
"By any chance, if you end up single and lonely, just know that I always love you sweetheart" he yelled, making people stare at me. I turned and gave him both my precious little middle fingers. He smiled in return.
Asshole
He always had a way of getting to me and I didn't like it.
Suddenly, I started hearing voices from the schools hallway.
Heading to the schools hallway, I saw a crowd and in the middle were two guys fighting. "Well that looks nice" I walked towards them to stop the fight.
" Hey what's going on here? Why are you two causing a scene huh?" I yelled.
The crowd turned their attention to me. Okay?
If looks could kill, I probably would be six feet under already.
"And who do you think you are?" One of the guys said while walking towards me, me being me, I also walked towards him.
"I'm Avery, a bad ass bitch, who would put you in your place if you don't stay out of my way" when I said this, he steps out of my way and I squeeze myself through the crowd to where the fight was.
The fight didn't look serious, but it was serious enough to cause a broken nose and a black eye.
What the hell are they fight over again?. And like they heard my question, I heard one of them say
"Do not fucking touch her" I think that was Xavier. It was over a girl? Dumb boys.
Okay it's time to be the hero. I moved closer to them, just when Xavier was about to send a punch to the other guy, which I'm not sure of his name yet, is it John?. I was able to grab his wrist and push off each other.
"Stay out of this!" Xavier shouted at me. Ohhh.
"You don't tell me what to do!" I walked towards the other guy, who seem to have received most of the punches.
"Oh poor little guy beaten to a pulp all because of a girl. Tell me, who's this girl? I might return the favour to her" I said feeling his swollen face. He swats my hands off. Rude
"Don't even think of touching her" he says a bit out of breath and wince due to the pain he must be feeling.
"Okay" I shrugged
"Who the hell are you anyways" Xavier said from behind"to stop me from beating the hell out of this punk?" He was about to hit him again.
"Name's Avery and I'm a student of this school" I answered him while stopping him from hitting the other guy.
" What does that have to do with the interference?" He asked again
"Oh but you asked for who I was, which is Avery and I gave it to you, I didn't know that wasn't what you were expecting" I try to act innocent, I really don't have a reason for stopping the fight, just felt the need.
"Yeah we get that your name is Avery, but what does it have to do with your interference?" He inquiried furiously
"Exactly, I was just about to return all the punches I received from him" the other guy who I still don't know his name says out of nowhere.
"Are fucking kidding me right now? Jace shut the Fuck up, you idiot "
"Oh so that's his name, but why? His face is too cute for that name" I pretend cry " Anyways, I would love to stay a little longer, but this baby girl.." I pointed my index finger of both hands to myself "....has to go" then I turn to leave.
"Hey!. Avery!. Hey!. Dumbass!" I'd like to believe that last part was for Jace
********************
"Miss Filleigh, you've not been submitting your chemistry homework for a while now. Do you want me to give you a Detention slip?" Mrs Cambry said fixing her glasses.
"I don't care if you give me Detention or anything " I said looking through my bag for my phone.
"Okay Detention for two weeks. Okay class is dismissed " she said stacking her books.
Well Detention for two weeks....isn't that nice huh?. Avery this week is just getting better and better every minute. Now I have Maths class
"ughh this is so frustrating " I said hitting my head on my desk. But then I have lunch afterwards. I sighed in relief .
"Avery! Avery!" The noise was getting closer until I felt a set of hands grab my shoulders and shake me.
"Ughh what now?" I look up to see someone who looked like Miranda, but you know what? Miranda was transferred to another school, in another city. So why is her clone here?.
"Wake up Avery " she kept shaking me. How does she know my name? I decided to open back my eyes to see the psycho shaking me.
"What the...." I went to sleep for real this time.
"Avery?" The next thing I felt was a cold liquid on my body.
"Ahhhhh! What the actual fuck " I said still closing my eyes
"Just open your eyes" the person sounded frustrated so I did as she said .
"Oh my goodness! I'm suddenly seeing things now"
"Oh God. Its me. Miranda, your bestfriend". I stared at the female being in front of me.
"Are you serious?" I reached for her face and touched it. Wow she's real .
"What are you doing here? When did you get back? And why didn't you call me? I asked so many questions as I was already jumping.
"Okay relax. Let's firstly go for maths class" she dragged me.
"You also have maths?" I squealed
"Yeah. I heard Derrick is back too "
"Yeah he got back on Thursday " i said walking into maths class. "Are you and Xavier a thing now and don't think about saying no"she directed her finger towards me.
"Well sorry to burst your bubble but we are never gonna be . Okay?" I sat at my desk while she was in front of me.
"What? Why? What did I miss when I was gon- "
"Okay class. Open your text books to page 196" I looked up and gave Miranda a smile. For the past five years, she still talks about Xavier. I and Xavier are never going to be . Never. Never. Nev-
"Miss Filleigh,are you listening? Miss Elnora asked looking disgusted at me. I didn't even know she already started her class.
"Yes I was"
"Okay then if you were listening, why don't you give us the answer for number forty ?" She said with a smirk. Wow does this woman know how pretty she is with a smirk? She should definitely go for modelling or something. Maybe I should tell her after the class.
I guess I was lost in thoughts again, cause I heard her ask for her answers a bit impatient now. I started hearing giggles from the back.
I already knew who they were because Xavier was in my class. Yeah, you heard right, the fool is right behind me and I'm pretty sure he had said something stupid enough to make them laugh.
"We don't have much time here mis-"
"The answer is 12.9" I said already bored
"Well... that's, wow that's the correct answer" she said seeming amazed. Hearing gasps from behind, I turned and saw Xavier looking shocked by my sudden change, I smirked back in return and turned my attention back to class. Not like I'd end up listening again
*********************
It was finally lunch period. I quickly ran to the line so I wouldn't have to wait thirty minutes to get the school's lunch, but guess what, the line was already too long.
"Avery!" Oh my goodness! can she like stop calling my name out loud ?
"Can you stop making a scene out of my name?!" I exclaimed, turning around to see no one behind me but all eyes were on me like I was some crazy person. I then saw the idiot waving towards her table. I started walking, but unfortunately, some hand decided to grab me by the wrist.
"Are you kidding me right now?" I said a little to myself. I turned and I was met with the devil himself.
"Can you let go of my hand since I'm already waiting" I said, looking straight into the grey eyes I once love- nope
"I'm afraid you might run again " Well I could actually do that. I continued looking at him waiting for him to say something else.
"Seems like we've met before " he tilted his head
"Nope I don't know you, but how is jace?" I said avoiding his gaze.
"He's alright and yes we've definitely met before. Remember freshman year, when-"
"Nope I don't remember anything " I walked away. But you know what, the shouted.
"Yes you do " why would he shout that?
"If you keep stalking me like this, I'm gonna call the cops on you " I also shouted back at him.
"No problem darling " I didn't bother to answer him.
"Wow you really hate him now, don't you?" Miranda said with her mouth full.
"Where's Derrick though?" She asked as I checked my phone. "He'd be here in a minute " I said and closed my phone.
"Well there he is " she looked towards the door of the cafeteria. Because of that idiot, I didn't even get lunch. Ughhhh.
"Meet Stephanie. She is my girlfriend" he said as he kissed her cheeks.
"What?" Miranda and i said in unison.
"Is anything wrong?" He asked looking confused about our reactions.
"Nothin-"
"Yes there is something wrong. No offence Stephanie, let's just get something straight. Derrick just came back on too long ago and he already has a girlfriend "
"No wait, Avery, this is the girl I met in califonia" he said
"But you said her name was Fiona or Felicity "
"What? No I said her name was Stephanie"
"No you didn't, but whatever you say "
"Hey my name is Miranda. And as you've heard, she is Avery " I waved at her as Miranda introduced me.
"Nice to meet you guys. I'm actually knew here too and Derrick showed me around" I smiled at her. What a sweet child. She looked really small and frail.
"I hope you last long " I mumbled to myself.
"What?!" The three of them yelled. Hehe.
"I wasn't talking about you guys " I smiled sheepishly .
"Gosh Avery. Anyways, are you going for the party this Friday?" Derrick asked looking around.
"I didn't know there was a party this Friday. How did you know?"
"I've got connections baby. Don't worry" Why wouldn't I worry. When it comes to Derrick and parties, I was always worried.
"And whose party is this?" I hope its not Xavier
"It's Xavier's" great.
"Not happening " the bell rang as I started packing my things.
"Why not?" Miranda asked
"Oh look lunch is over, see you later " I dashed out of the cafeteria.
