Hand In Hand

Chapter 2 (PICTURE OF MATT)

He hissed at me. I didn't even try talking to other guys, he just saw me talking to this really nice kid from my Science class and took it a wrong way just because the night before I had tried to end things with us in public, so he wouldn't hurt me.

I didn't even know where we were but I know that it's totally abandoned because no one could hear me as I screamed as loud as I could.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"ALLY!!! Ally it's okay!! WAKE UP!!"

Cody screamed as my eyes opened and he was sitting on my bed gripping my arms like he was shaking me.

"W- What time is it? What are you doing?"
I asked noticing it was still dark out.

"You were screaming bloody murder and shaking! And it woke me up. What were you dreaming about?"

He asked as I shook my head.

"Nothing.. Just a nightmare. Go back to sleep bud okay?"

I said as I could see him shake his head in the dark.

After he left I didn't sleep. It was 5:30 and I was getting up at 6 anyway.

I ran cold water on my face and then showered, blow dried my hair, curled it and did my make up. I didn't look how I usually did. I just looked too tired and pale with bags under my eyes.

No amount of make up could cover the sleep in my eyes.

Thank god today was Friday. Mom gave me and Cody a ride to school.

When I got to my locker Matt was waiting for me. I didn't look at him and opened my locker, he was still standing next to me.

"Jesus you look like shit."

He said smiling as I rolled my eyes.

"Gee thanks."

I said sarcastically grabbing my books and slamming my locker still not looking at him.

He grabbed my wrist tightly which startled me because usually when he did that he was about to hurt me, so I flenched backwards dropping my books all over the floor. He didn't even bother helping me pick them up so I bent down and grabbed them. After I stood up he turned my face with his hand making me look him in the eyes. I hate his eyes. They are a piercing dark blue that glare at you so harshly it makes me sick. But this time when he was looking at me it wasn't out of anger. He looked fake, he looked like he was trying to be sympathetic but failed. I could see how fake it was the second I looked into his eyes.

"Listen babe I'm real sorry about last night. You know I didn't mean those words. Let's just pretend that didn't happen. K?"
He said as I nodded. Those words, "I didn't mean it" and "lets just pretend that didn't happen" are his favorite words.

"So are we good?"

He asked smiling.

"Yeah."

I said quietly.

"Good."

He said with another smile walking off.

I headed to first period study hall. I went to the back of the room to sit in my usual spot when I was shocked. Some one was sitting there. It was a boy that I didn't recognize. There's no way he goes to our school. Because I knew every single student in this High School. And I for sure would have recognized some one that hot.

"Uhm excuse me, that's sort of my spot. I uh-I sit there every day."

I said with an innocent smile.

"Oh really? I'm sorry... I'll move. I'm new here. My names Chris. Chris Green."

He said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you Chris. My names Alison but please don't call me that. Call me Ally."

I said as he started to stand up but I put my hand on his shoulder to stop him.

"Don't bother it's fine. I'll sit here."

I said sitting in the other seat next to him.

"So where did you move from?"

I asked.

"Kansas. My Dad got a job here so we moved."

He said shrugging.

"Do you like it here so far?"

I asked.

"Well it's only first period so I don't know."

He said with a laugh.

"But so far I'm liking it."

He said looking at me smiling. He had beautiful green eyes that gave me butterflies as he talked. Oh god I better stop talking to him or Matt would kill me!

"Well consider me your first friend."

I said pulling out my notebook and drawing some flowers, houses, my dad and just random things all over the paper until the bell rang.
