Scarlet walked out of the class in haste and the class hadn't even started yet. She bumped into someone making a piece of paper hall from her hand unto the floor. I hurried after her but she ignored me. Bending to pick the paper, I wondered what she was writing, but sadly the teacher came and I had to listen.
After school I declined hanging out with the boys or a ride home from anybody. I also avoided a confrontation from Rachel, even a toad knows she wouldn't let me go so easily. Plopping on my bed, I searched my bag for the paper. I was shocked, honestly, I didn't know Scarlet had a talent to draw Or if she could.
I raised a brow, I for one was confused. It seemed like a water drop surrounded by flames. I was also impressed.
Is it possible for someone to feel so much emotion in one piece of paper? What was the drawing trying to say? Scarlet was my friend. I must have hurt her unknowingly, maybe that's why she's ignoring me. I wanted our friendship to last, to go on, that's why I would find her and confront her. Its eating me on the inside anytime I see her passing by looking broken, I wanted to help, but she wouldn't let me.
The next day I spotted scar in the library. She didn't strike me as someone who reads at her free time. She was writing on a red journal. Oh, so that's were the secrets are eh? I made a decision, it wasn't very smart, nor did I know how I'd do it. But I needed to get my hands on that journal. Maybe a clue was in there. This was the 21st century, who wrote secrets on a book anymore? Sadly, it wouldn't hurt to try.
She couldn't possibly have been studying, why? Because I don't see any note books. Or text books. So journal it is. I just needed some crazy help.
"Guys please! " I begged
"Why should we help? " Alexis shrugged.
Honestly, I thought he'd be the first to crack up. But he was acting tougher. I looked at Jordan "Jordy, please? "
He bit his lip and begged Alexis with his eyes.
"Kenneth? "
Kenneth gave me a dead stare. They really weren't going to help without me giving them a reason to. With a frustrated sigh I spoke "I think the reason why Scarlet is avoiding me is in her red journal", when there was silence I continued "I need to know why, something tells me she was forced to ignore me, or not talk to me at all. And I want to know why"
"How are you so sure, I mean it could be something else in there" Alexis spoke.
"She's not so sure" Jordan answered
"I'm not, I just have to know okay? I have a feeling and I can't sleep knowing there's an answer some where. What if it's something useful? I don't know, but I want to know"
They nodded, "so, will you help? "
You are all wondering how I ended up here, let's rewind shall we?
After exiting the library early in the morning, I realized that I would need help in "borrowing" Scarlets journal. I was going nuts just thinking about it all. I gathered the boys around during break time and here we were, discussing on how to "borrow" her journal without her suspecting it was me. Now that I had them in, what could we do?
"Do you know where she lives? " Jordan questioned
Now that I thought about it, I really didn't. Jordan took my silence as a no.
"Oh shit. Its going to be harder than I thought " I mumbled
"No shit"
Kenneth released an irritated breath "why are we still here? I had other better things to do in the first place"
"Like wallowing in self pity? " Alexis shot. It seemed playful to me but Kenneth surely did not think so.
Kenneth gave him a hard glare "actually, I was thinking of excruciatingly painful ways to murder you"
Alexis chuckled "which are? Oh wait, let me guess, stabbing me with my own knife? " Alexis owns a knife?
"No, killing you with your own piano" he deadpanned
"How the hell would you do that!? " Jordan asked, annoyed with the two
Kenneth squinted his eyes "its not hard really, I'll break his piano into pieces with a hatchet then use the sharpest part of the broken piano to gut him "
"And you think I'll sit down and watch you kill me? " Alexis scoffed
"Exactly " Kenneth smirked
"Both of you, shut up" Jordan said
"Tell that you mister grumpy " Alexis bit back
"Oh shut up mister 'I hate guys!' " Kenneth growled
Alexis's eyes widened "oh no you didn't! You talk about me when you still can't get over Patty Mister 'I'm depressed' "
I'm pretty sure they forgot I was standing there. Even though I didn't know what anything of what they were saying meant. I knew that it was heated.
"Depressed?! You still can't get over your fear of men! "Kenneth's neck vein was protruding now.
Alexis nose flared "shut up! Shut up! Shut up! "
"Guys -" Jordan tried, but they ignored him
"Oh now I should shut up? You got the nerve bringing up her like that! " Kenneth fired, not caring Alexis face was read and he was shaking.
Alexis growled and landed a punch on Kenneth's face "maybe you're just sad that your parents never had time for you like my mine do! "
Kenneth grew madder and Alexis's choice of words "At least I'm not a wimp and can't stand up to guys when they talk shit! "
"I've changed and you know it! You talk about standing up? You can't stand up to your asshole of a father, you fool! "
I could only think about one thing. Shit just went down.
"You think that because your life is a mess you make others life a mess too" Alexis continued, clenching his fists "don't think I don't know about how you treat Hannah, Kenneth. You're just scared! Face it already! "
Kenneth was breathing hard, he ran his hands through his dark brown hair, his green eyes wide and crazed. He wasn't okay and I'm sure the boys knew it too.
"Okay Alex, " Jordan shot him a look "I think that's enough "
Alexis scoffed and stomped off. Yup, shit just went down.
