Chapter 4 - Garbage Hotdog

"Hey! I miss you"

Zia hugs me when she see me. I already came back to school. So yeah. I'm slightly fine.

I hug her back while she slightly taps my back. It makes me feel so comfortable.

"How are you?" Zia ask worriedly.

I smile "I'm fine"

"I was so worried about you I'm sorry I didn't came into your house, it's just something happened" Zia smiled worriedly.

I nod "No it's fine, I understand. I just want to be alone either "

It's Monday and it just feel unusual. It feels like I haven't go to school for a year. I hope this day will be fine. I hope I wouldn't see him. I really hope so.

"Come on English class will start soon" Zia says as she held my hand.

"Can I borrow your notes so that I can cope up?" I mutter softly

"Of course, I will help you Riley" We walk in the hallway as she wink at me which made me chuckle.

We sit in the class and Mr. Dickinson enters the room.

"How are you Ms. Thompson?"

I look around the classroom but Mr. Dickinson is the one who asked me., everyone is looking at me.

"U-hhm good sir" I stutter, faking a smile and he started the lesson.

I'm sleepy again sir...

"Here's the notes you need to cope up" Zia lends me the notes. I simply thanked her for her kindness. I feel a slight relief when it's only one notebook. Not as stressed as I think it could be.

But then I realized she's a lazy ass. She let me borrow her English notebook the one that's her favorite subject. You know she only gather notes in English, and she only study the other subjects in her books. Okay I need to borrow to anyone after school.

===

"I bought you an orange juice!" Zia gladly sits beside me while she's eating a sandwich and giving me the other one.

"Oh you really know me huh" I smirk as she rolled her eyes.

I am taking notes here in the cafeteria that's why she's the one who bought us snacks. Thanks to this beautiful girl beside me.

"Almost done" I write down my notes quickly as I finish, taking a deep breath, slurping my orange juice.

"Yo' girl are you brothers with flash?" She jokes teasingly while I slap her shoulders.

"It's a blessing bitch"

We laugh hard as my eyes landed on the corner. There's Malcolm with his friends. I didn't notice him since we came in the cafeteria. Oh god! Did he just got in here or did they got here before we got here?

I hope he didn't noticed.

My laugh slowly fades when I realized. My mood is good today, I hope he won't ruin it.

"Let's go watch netflix after school" Zia beams gracefully eating her one last bite of sandwich.

I nod "Good idea" putting my notebook in my bag.

"It would be fun!"

Okay, you watch and I'm taking notes there.

===

We're in my room, with snacks scuttered over my bed. We love eating pizza and popcorn while watching netflix. I mean who would not?

My mom's still at work and we have a lot of time to make a lot of noises. Spending girls' night is fun.

" What do you like to watch?" she said while chewing a mouthful of pizza.

"Horror" I laugh

"Are you kidding me?" Zia furrowed, deadly stared at me. This girl hates horror movies since 1st grade when her brother teased her and locked in the bathroom, begging him and cried. Poor little girl got stuck.

"I was joking - I laugh messing her hair. She scrunched her nose. We will watch Pinocchio "

"Seriously?"

"Yah, I know you always loved disney"

She smiled while I search to find it.

"I'm sleepy" we lay in bed our stomachs full, staring above the ceiling, cuddling my bunny bear with me while in the middle of the movie.

"Me too" she murmured and stared long above the ceiling before glancing at me.

" I wonder if I'll just spend my night with you" She smiled still looking above the ceiling.

" Really?! Oh my God this isn't just a movie night but a sleepover" I cheerfully speaks and kiss her cheeks all over her face.

"Stoooop! I can't breath you silly!" I let go of her smiling widely.

"Oh sorry"

"I'm also tired driving home, I'll just change my clothes tomorrow before we go to school "

"Just borrow mine" I wink at her

"No! We have different style Riley"

"I have nice clothes in the cabinet I still haven't worn. I know it's your style"

I check my cabinet but I forgot where I put those. Hmm where is it? I gasp and realize. I open the small wooden basket and there it is!

I show it to Zia and she gasps.

"Oh my God Riley why did you hid that nice clothes of yours? You'll be a total chick if you wear that!" I rolled my eyes "Shut up"

It's a maroon croptop and a mini white skirt. Oh I forgot to tell I got a dress in my hand, a floral blue dress which my mom bought for me but I didn't wear it since its not my style but my mom forced me to wear it but it didn't happen that's why she bought it for me thinking I would change my mind. Oh god mom! I wouldn't really change my mind. I don't think it would fit me and I don't think it looks good on me. It's just not my style mom.

"You have a dress?" Zia asks getting it from me while she gracefully look in the mirror.

"Yah mom bought it for me"

"It's nice and chick" I rolled my eyes

"It's yours"

"No Riley I have a lot, you should put these on in special occasions" She winks and I cringe

"Stop!" I hit her shoulders and si winced.

"What was that?" She throw the clothes in my bed, plans to get me. I quickly run away from her as much as I could.

"Come here you bitch" She gave me a death glare while running around my room.

"I'm tired" I catch my breath still running but she never stop.

God this girl is so hyper. Okay maybe I was got a little excited. I'll write my notes tomorrow.

===

We're both getting ready with Zia for school and fortunately she love my croptop and skirt. I insisted to put her on the dress but she resists. She said it would be better if I wear it. Silly bestfriend.

I swear it would look good on her. The clothes she's wearing right now suits her. This girl is so sexy and pretty as well. I'd also wish I look like her so many times.

Shhh stop it Riley.

I am just wearing baggy jeans and black shirt. We're almost done and mom called us. Yeah mom came home late last night because she had another obligation to look for since they are emergencies in the hospital.

"Coming" I answered rushing down the stairs, making an oatmeal for Zia and me while slicing the apple in half.

"Hey Loren" Zia waves at my mom and she smiled back. They're chatting while I'm making our breakfast.

"Bye mom" I waved at her when we finished our breakfast. Zia also waves at her smiling. They get along obviously huh. It's moms' rest day. Thankfully she could get some rest.

We fasten our seatbelt and drove off to school. Zia play the music loudly. Snap! my ears are going to be deaf or I'll die.

"Zia drive slow" I said nervously.

"What?" she shouts, can't hear because of the loud music.

I shouted back.

This isn't a good idea.

Finally we arrived at school. That's much through hell. I quickly run toward the school while she shouted at me in the parking lot.

"Why didn't you wait for me bitch?" Zia shuts the locker while I'm getting mine too.

"I hate you driving, my ears are going to deaf"

She laughs loudly poking me teasingly. She stop when she hear a manly voice behind her. We look behind her and her eyes widens.

"Looking good huh" Shawn commented while Rem's smirking. Zia instantly blush hitting my shoulder.

Shit.

Malcolm is here.

He looked at his phone, texting maybe. He look around nonchalantly as if he doesn't see us.

"How's your pee nerdy?" Rem mocked pointing at me.

Nerdy?

"Shut up dumbass!" Zia exclaims

Malcolm still nonchalant, looking at his phone the whole time.

"Whoa whoaa - calm down gorgeous" Rem smirks at Zia and she gave him a death glare.

"Let's go"

"Wait" Malcolm finally speak. Wow.

"Sorry about what ha---"

"Just leave my friend alone okay" Zia cut him, she's pissed off already.

"I don't want to talk to a garbage hotdog like you" I hissed as we walk with Zia to the corridor toward our room leaving them behind in parted lips. Zia put her arms around my shoulder proudly.

"That was lit Riley, you already know how to defend yourself huh" She teased and we're laughing so hard. Well, atleast I got a revenge.
