waist and spin me around. They set me down, and I looked over my shoulder and saw Tristan.
“ What are you doin’?” I muttered feeling dizzy.
“ Are you leaving because your mad at what we did?” he asked pouting his lip.
“ one… im not leaving because I am mad at what ya’ll did. I am leavin’ because I don’t wanna be stuck with the three stooges, and the idiot, but I am still mad at ya’ll,” I said turning on my heel and trying to walk out of the house again.
“ You know you love me!” Tristan called out when me and Zoe where walking down the driveway.
“ Oh I just love you so freakin’ much Tristan!” I yelled over my shoulder shaking my head. “ how we gonna get to yo house anyway?” I asked.
“ Jeremy is driving us,” she smiled.
“ really?”
“ Yep,” She said popping the p. just then Jeremy came running out of the house, and he jumped into his black hummer, and motioned us to follow.
“ You can sit in da front,” I smiled.
“ Why?”
“ Because I know your little secret,” I grinned. She opened the front door, and turned back to me giving me a questioning look. I walked up next to her, “ Ya’ll like Jeremy,” I whispered into her ear. I stepped back, and saw her face turn three shades of red in an instant. I laugh escaped my lips and Jeremy turned towards us.
“ What’s so funny?” He asked. I went to go open my mouth but Zoe jumped in the car.
“ Nothing come on let’s go!” She said looked everywhere but Jeremy. Jeremy raised an eyebrow but shrugged his shoulders. I let out another laugh, and got into the backseat.
“ AWAY WEH GOOO!” I yelled. Jeremy and Zoe both turned back to look at me like I was crazy and I just shrugged my shoulders smiling like a fool. Jeremy shook his head, and laughed, and started the car and we were off. I went into a trance in the back seat, and the next thing I knew Zoe was hoping out of the car. I looked up, and got out too, and turned towards Jeremy before closing the door.
“ Thanks for the ride idiot!” I grinned. He went to protest but I shut the door, and ran after Zoe who was already half way up the drive way. “ Well gee thanks for waiting for me,” I grumbled. She just looked at me and glared. “ WHAT?!” I asked throwing my hands up in the air.
“ I can’t believe you said that!” she wailed.
“ Said what?!”
“ That I liked him!”
“ Well you do,” I grumbled. Her face went red, and her eyes widened.
“ shut up,” She said turning away and walking up the stairs. I let out a laugh, and threw my arms around her shoulders.
“ My little girl is growin’ up and likin’ men already! What am I gonna do?” I laughed. She shook her head, and opened the door, and we walked in and I let go of her and looked around. I started to look around, and I smiled at her. “ this is a nice place,” I said looking at the pictures hanging on the wall.
“ Thanks,” she said sheepishly.
“ Zophilla are you home?” I heard a voice come from another room. Zoe motioned me to follow her, and I lingered behind her and we walked into the kitchen, and an old women sat at the table, and she looked up and smiled. “ Well hello, are you Zophilla’s friend?” She asked. I nodded my head and smiled.
“ I’m Mayella, its be nice to meetin’ you,” I smiled.
“ Oh my you have such a beautiful name! And a country girl it sounds like?”
“ Yes,” I smiled. She clapped her hands together and was beaming with happiness.
“ you always welcomed Mayella! My grand-daughter here is always talking about you! You must be a very good friend with her,” she smiled looking at Zoe. I nodded my head and smiled. “ Oh my graces! I didn’t even introduce myself! I am Zoë’s grand-mother Marry!” She said reaching her hand out to shake mine. I shook her hand and nodded my head and smiled.
“ Gramum, me and Mayella are just going to go up to my room and hang out,” Zoe smiled. Marry nodded her head, and I followed Zoe down the hall.
“ your grand-mother is a very sweet women,” I smiled. We walked into Zoe’s room and she nodded her head.
“ She and my friends at school where the only people in my life…..” Zoe smiled.
“ Was?”
“ yeah know I have you, and her, and some of my friends at school” she smiled. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her.
“ You got that right! And know you’re stuck with me!” I laughed hugging her tighter.
Chapter nine-
I sat in my room, and looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath.
“ I need to buy a phone…” I sighed. I sat up, and walked over to my closet, looked at my clothes. I walked out of my room, and ran upstairs, and ran through the house, and went out the back door, and stepped outside. Its freaking hot outside! I ran back through the house, and ran down the stairs as I was passing the front room I heard my name being called. I stopped and looked at Tristan.
“ Hey, what’s up?” he asked.
“ Will you go to the mall with me?” I asked.
“ You want me to go with you?”
“ I need to buy a phone.. I don’t have a ride, and I don’t know how to get there. Will you take me?” I asked shifting one foot from another.
“ yeah I’ll go with you,” he smiled.
“ Thanks,” I smiled walking back into my room. I ran over to my closet, and threw a pair of dark jean shorts on, and t-shirt. I looked in the mirror and laughed at what my shirt said. “ I might be short, but I know how to make you my size,” I laughed, and then there was a picture of a short person kicking a tall person in the shin. I smiled, because I was really short, and Tristan was really tall. I smirked and put a brush through my hair, and walked out of my room. “ Tristan have you seen my converse?” I asked looked down the hall.
“ Their over here in the kitchen,” he called out.
“ The kitchen?” I mumbled walking into the kitchen and saw them by the fridge. “ in the kitchen.. by the fridge,” I grumbled slipping them on. “ Im still mad at you for dropping me and Zoe in the pool,” I glared at him. He started to laugh.
“ But it was so funny!”
“ no it wasn’t!” I growled.
“ Hm..” he laughed turning away and started walking up the stairs. I stood their glaring at him, and sighed and followed him up the stairs. “ Wow you wearing shorts” he laughed.
“ it’s freaking hot outside. Do you want me to go back inside and put a pair of skinny jeans on?” I asked stopping at his car. He shook his head and got in. I rolled my eyes, and got in and he started to drive.
“ So you have to buy a phone right?” he asked.
“ yeah I broke mine,” I sighed.
“ Didn’t you break your i-pod too?” He asked.
“ That was entirely your fault buddy,” I said looking at him.
“ how?”
“ Yo duh one that pushed meh,” I said shaking my head.
“ I said I was sorry about that,” he said looking at me. I nodded my head and looked out the window. I felt his hand touch mine, and I looked down and saw him holding my hand, and I looked up and he was looking at me intently. “ I truly am sorry though,” he whispered. I nodded my head and he smiled. We pulled up to the mall, and we walked in side by side. “ There is a phone store over there,” he said. I nodded my head, and we walked over to the phone store, and after much debating we finally found one. I ended up getting i-phone, and it seemed way too complex for me. we walked out of the store, and Tristan bumped my hip with his.
“ What?” I laughed.
“ nothing,” he grinned. I raised an eyebrow at him.
“ Why are you acting so weird?” I laughed. Then he grabbed my hand, and pulled me forward and I saw a small picture booth. “ no way,” I laughed shaking my head.
“ Come on…” he pouted. “ pwease Mayella?” he started to get down on one knee and everyone started to look at us and I felt my face go three shades of red, and I pulled him up.
“ Okay come on,” I whispered. he broke out into a full blown grin, and we stepped into the photo booth and I had no room! Tristan sat down and I sat down after him and half my body was on top of him. “ Alright let’s do this,” I laughed. Tristan put a dollar in and then a light came on. He pulled me back, and we both smiled and it went off.
“ Funny face,” Tristan laughed. I turned towards Tristan and stuck my tongue out at him, and he grabbed my tongue and the picture took and I broke out into laughter. Two more left. I was laughing hard, and another picture took. Then I got closer to him and looked at the camera and I felt his lips touch my cheek and the last picture took. I felt my face was flushed, and I looked at him, and smiled, and he let out a laugh, and we climbed out of the photo booth. The pictures printed and there was two strips for both of us. I was looking at them, and there was one of me laughing and Tristan was looking down at me smiling, and then the one of him kissing my cheek. I felt a smile creeping onto my face, and I looked up and saw Tristan smiling down at me. I smiled at him, and we started to walk back to the car but then I heard my name being called. I turned around and saw Ryder walking towards me with a group of his friends.
“ You hang out with Ryder?” Tristan whispered into my ear. I looked up at him, and he was staring intently at Ryder.
“ Kind of, why?” I asked.
“ I don’t like him Mayella…” he was cut off when Ryder stood in front of us.
“ hey Tristan,” Ryder smiled but the smile didn’t seem to be real. “ hey May,” he said.
“ Hi Ryder,” I smiled. I felt Tristan tense up next to me. I looked at him, and his jaw was tightened. “ What’s up?” I asked Ryder.
“ nothing much, hey you think I can get your number since you got a phone?” he asked. I realized I was holding my phone and I looked down at it and nodded.
“ Sure I smiled,” I handed him my phone, and he typed in his phone number, and I heard another phone go off, and he reached in his pocket, and opened up his phone, and handed me mine back.
“ Their know I have your number and you have
