Waiting

Waiting Ch. 14

"Nothing," She said swiftly. I let it go though, because I didn't care. I was too excited to go out with Mason that I really didn't care about Nikolas anymore or what he and Russell did.

Kristi looped her arm through mine, and we walked down the hall. She started telling me about the things I she was going to do with my hair. "Nothing too wild," I interjected.

"Yeah yeah," She responded. She went back to talking, telling me she was going to bring some of her tops over, because apparently I didn't have any.

"Hey Taylor, did you see this?" Someone called. I turned around, and saw a girl from my History class holding the school newspaper. "I'm trying to get everyone to read it, it's hilarious."

"I'm...I'm alright," I muttered.

"But it's about Nikolas," She told me, and I ripped the paper out of her hands. I looked over at Kristi, and she was smirking at me.

"I told you I would take care of it," She shrugged, "Good job Meghan." The girl named Meghan smiled brightly as I read the article. I scanned it over quickly. It talked about what Nikolas and Russell did to me. My mouth dropped open a little, and I couldn't help but smile.

Then the article talked about what I did to them. It made me smile brighter to see that I was recognized. They didn't put my name in exactly. "This is hilarious Kristi," I laughed.

"I wrote it up myself," She promoted.

"I like it too," Meghan chimed in.

"Thank you ladies," Kristi said, bowing a little.

Suddenly the loudspeaker turned on, and our principle announced, "Would Nikolas Lot and Russell Dubre come to the main office? Thank you, that is all."

Kristi and started giggling, but had to sustain a straight face as the two guys walked by. I glared at Nikolas, but felt the smirk on my face. They tried not to look at me though, which made me feel that much happier. "Good job Kris," I muttered, still smirking.

"Thank you," She repeated.

We started walking back down the hall, listening to Meghan telling people to read the article. "That jerk," A girl we passed said as she read the article, "And I liked him. I hope he gets suspended."

"Better yet expelled," Her friend said, "I would kill my boyfriend if he did that to me."

"Well it seems like this girl took care of both of them herself," The girl replied, "Good for her."

Kristi me with a supreme smile, and shrugged, "This turned out better than I thought." I couldn't help but agree with her, because I was happy. I felt free from Nikolas, and he got what was coming for him. I had a date with Mason, and the best best friend in the whole world. My life was pretty good at the moment.

The week flew by. Nikolas and Russell both got detention for a month, because there wasn't a real reason why they should be expelled. Our principle was also a woman, so I guess she took offense to that too.

Mason continued to talk to me the rest of the week, along with his really nice friends Adam and James. Before I knew it, I was walking down the hall with them, actually talking to them. I never really talked to Nikolas' friends because all they really talked about was football. These guys talked about and joked about almost everything.

Also, over the week my nose was fixed, and I didn't have to wear that stupid thing on my nose anymore. I was so happy, I smiled, and touched my nose all day.

Soon Saturday came and Kristi came over to help me get ready. Lexie sat on my bed, and watched with wide eyes as Kristi straightened every single piece of hair on my head. "OW, you hit my ear," I grumbled.

"If you stopped fidgeting, I wouldn't," She told me with a small laughed.

I sighed, and bit my lip as she pulled hard on my hair. The music was blasting Cobra Starship's new so 'Hot Mess.' Kristi sang out the words, and I had a feeling she had her ears closed as she sung because she burnt my head again.

"Ugh, Kristi," I groaned.

She ignored me, and said, "Lex, can you get Taylor's green shirt out of the closet? Along with her dark blue skinny jeans?"

Lexie nodded, and got off the bed. "Alright..." Kristi said, "I think I got every piece of hair. Now let's clip some hair back."

She continued to play with my hair as Lexie lay out my clothes. "Thanks Lex," I muttered.

I put on my dark skinny jeans, and my flannel green shirt that had beaded straps. I pushed my bright red hair out of the way; it fell on my shoulders, longer now that it was straightened. "You look great," Kristi told me, "Right Lexie?"

"Beautiful," She smiled, and then sat back on the bed.

I smiled at her, and then looked at Kristi. "Hey," I whispered, "I know this is a last minute thing, but..."

"You want me to stay with Lexie?" She interjected, "Sure. We'll have fun."

"Oh, I forgot," I laughed, "You're psychic."

"Shush," She hissed, "Lexie doesn't know!" We laughed, and then someone knocked on the door. I froze, and looked at my door.

"Here I go," I muttered, and then started downstairs.

Well?
