Slap, Zoey.Stark N [novel24 .txt] 📗

Slap is like my nickname. The only weird thing about it is that I am a girl. I don’t rule the school or anything I am just the type a girl no one messes with I have a certain group of friends I hang out with and I am not going to change them. I am going to tell you how I got my nickname is back in the 5th grade. I was sitting in my seat and back then boys played this stupid called slap strap. I was one of Chase Tyis victims. They would you know pop girl bra straps well the ones who actually wore bras and I was like the main one back then (I had to it wasn’t my fault). He pop my frigging bra strap so hard I had a frigging bruise there but before I get into that. I turned around and slapped him so hard it wasn’t funny. He had a hand print on his face for about three hours and the next day had a bruise. It was what it was. He gave me a bruise I gave him one back. But that was how I got my name though. It was ridiculous but I mean it was 5th grade. So, well me and Chase has a love and hate relationship we don’t talk to each other and we don’t mess with each other no more unless of course when we have an encounter with each other at community or picnic with the family (his and my family are really close). Chase and I have known each other since like forever but we aren’t like best friends or anything. Well let’s get on with the story though. Oh yeah forgot one thing welcome to my life as Slap.

Sleeping in class is a real bad move. Watching Zleeps asleep in class, I was about to wake him up until Chase walked in okay so me and Chase we aren’t like friends were more like acquaintance’s we aren’t mean to each other or anything we just talk to each other when we encounter each other and nothing more than that.

“Hey Slap.” Chase said. Yeah, that is my nickname got it in 5th grade; but I am not going to get into that right now.

“Hey.” I said back to him. He sat down and I just went back to help my friend Zleeps.

“Zleeps get up.” I said hitting his head with my hand. Zleeps finally gets up right before the teacher walks in. He mouths thank you. I laugh a little. Zleeps is a whole big video gamer and hacker, so he is up half the night, so I am so use to him falling asleep in class. I and Zleeps have been friends since 7th grade, like me and Keela (a.k.a. Babble), Jason (a.k.a. Jace), Wendy (a.k.a. Girl), and then finally the top boy in our group Tennyson (a.k.a. King). Babble she got her name in 8th grade she is the non-stop talking friend everyone has, Jace got his name because he is the most mace guy in the school and his name is Jason, and well King got his name because well he is like the king of the school. We’re not popular were just that group of friends that no one messes with. Each of us has went out with only one person in the group. Like me and Zleeps we went out for a while but we broke up. Now King wants a shot with me but Zleeps won’t let him near me. King has dated almost any girl that refuse to like him. Well, that isn’t a lot of girls but I and King do flirt a good bit. King got in late as usual but this time he had got in right after the teacher and the teacher let it slide. When he went by I said “and safe”. He laughed when he sat down. Okay, so only 5 minutes into class and I got three texts to me. One from King, one from Chase which is unusual, and the last one from Zleeps.
To:Slap
From:King
Do you think we could hang out after school today?
I sent back "That wouldn't make Zleeps happy." Then i went to the one that Chase sent me.
To:Cecialla
From:Chase
Hey, we need to talk after school. It's important.
I sent back "Yeah. Okay." Then i went to the one Zleeps sent me.
To:Slap
From:Zleeps
Hey what's this teacher talking about?
I laughed at before i sent back "I don't know I am not paying attention." Then I went to the message King just sent back.
To:Slap
From:King
Who cares. You shouldn't let him control you.
I sent back "I'm not but he is my best friend still and I don't want to hurt him." Then i went to the one that Chase sent me back.
To:Cecialla
From:Chase
Ok see you then thanks.
Okay so before i sent anything back to him i wondered why he was actually using my real name in his phone. I sent back "Okay. No Problem. Bye." Then I went to the message Zleeps sent back.
To:Slap
From:Zleeps
Hahaha. Yeah that's true.
I sent back "Hey, the bell is fixing to ring soon so bye." and then went to the one King sent back to me.
To:Slap
From:King
I understand. Hey maybe another time then like tomorrow maybe.
I sent back "Maybe. Got to go bye." And that was the end of the messages I was so ready for school to be over already. After class I really just wanted to disappear so I went to the band room I have a passion for music. I go sit behind a piano and start playing something I had learned a long time ago. Then someone walks in and ruins it by playing a flute I couldn't see who because well the piano is in another room. I pick up the song and put a up beat to it. It made everything seem really cool though. With the flute and the piano playing and all of a sudden I made a song up for the beat and all. The song :
There's a life out there for me
Somewhere I belong
I don't where at but I do know
Ima get there someday
I will have the courage to tell everything
The real me is not me
Then the flute just stopped and someone had left out really fast. I got up, looked out the seperate room into the band room and no one was there. Whoever came in there was really good at playing flute. After that person left all i wanted to know who it was. I would have to ask Mrs. Purfew she probably recongnize a talented flute player (hopefully). Most likely the person would be in a band class but who knows. I put the music up and run to get to my next class. I got there right on time, my class is Science or whatever. You wouldn't believe who is my lad partner though well he's not Zleeps or King and I didn't pick him so yeah. My partner ended up being Chase. Chase isn’t someone I would really pick as a lab partner but hey it is what it is. Which when I got there Chase was acting weird towards me the whole class which was kind of making me mad. Class went by fast though so I had said nothing once so ever to him.
School ended so I went and met up with Chase at this park usually no one goes to. It has this very small playground that's kind of an older generation one, not like the new ones around mine or Chase's neighborhood. There's a swin set with only two big kid swings and one toddler/baby swing on it. When I got there I was wondering why did I come here? My answer was I guess my curiosity. When I approached Chase he didn’t say anything he just all of a sudden kissed me. What scared me though was that I was kissing him right back for some reason I got butterflies in my stomach. What I came to assumption that I might have been in love with Chase for years and didn’t know it. When we stopped kissing I had to sit down on a bench or something. This was all too much.
“Cecialla?” Chase asked questioningly.
“I’m sorry I am just in complete shock at this. I liked it and I wanted to continue but at the same time it just all seemed unreal. Chase, when did you start feeling this way?” I asked.
“The day after you slapped me in 5th grade I just never told you.” He said.
“Why didn’t you ever tell me?” I asked.
“I was scared and I wanted to know how you felt before this happened.” He showed me a paper my father and mother signed.
“What is it?” I asked.
“You parents signed this when your mom was six months pregnant with you. It says that were like in arranged marriage or something. But I wanted to know before this happened if you didn’t love someone else because if you do I won’t let you marry me. I promise you that because I don’t want my wife or whatever to resent me all our lives.” He said. I could see he was being honest and trust me I think he was being really sweet about the whole thing.
“How long do we have before then?” I asked.
“To the end of the year, which I know is five months and then I got us until spring to get to know each other but that is as far my mother will go for.” He said.
“So, are you up for the challenge Cha Cha?” I asked he laughed at the fact I called him his old nickname.
“Yeah I am. And I don’t think you want anyone to know either?” He asked.
“Not right now.” I said.
“Understandable.” He said.
“Can we kiss again?” I asked.
“Ummmmm………okay.” He said laughing and kissing me. I pulled away.
“Has anyone told you, you were a good kisser.” I said more as a statement then a question.
“Nope.” He said. And then we started kissing again. We talked a little more but I had to go home.
“Wait can we this our first date?” He asked.
“Why?” I asked.
“Well first dates are always a huge fail. So can we?” He asked.
“Yeah, it was a good first date though. When we going to have our second?” I asked.
“How about this Saturday?” He asked.
“I can’t this Saturday I am going skating with my friends.” I said.
“I could sneak and see you right?” He said.
