Part Four
“Hi.” The glitter on her eyes
sparkled. She had a light green sundress type thing on.
“Let’s go.” I locked the
door and we walked to a nearby ice cream parlor. I paid for our ice cream and we
ate it on a picnic table. I don’t really know what to say. I felt like an
idiot.
“So have you lived here your
whole life?” There’s a winner.
“No, I moved after in 6th
grade.”
“Where did you move from?”
“Michigan.” She took another
lick of her cone. “Wanna start walking home?” She looked at me.
“Sure.” We hopped off the
table and headed back to my place. The sun was just setting. It was the perfect
evening. We got on my front porch. “Would you like to come in?” I could tell
she was getting excited again. This was probably her dream come true.
“I’d love to.” I opened the
door and let us both in. I could tell Tay was home because his shoes and coat
were right by the front door. I glanced over at the T.V and could see his
reflection in it.
“Hey Tay, could you come in
here a minute?” Randi got all giddy. Tay peaked in and noticed I had a friend
over.
“Oh hi, sorry I was just
cleaning up. What’s your name?” Tay shook her hand. He’s so fake sometimes
it makes me sick.
“I’m Randi. Would you mind if
I got a picture?” She fumbled through her purse and pulled it out. I took it
and snapped a pic of them. No wonder people like him, he can act so perfect when
needed.
“It was nice meeting you
Randi.” He signed something for her and disappeared.
“It was great spending time
with you, but it’s getting late and I don’t want to get in trouble.” She
was looking at her watch.
“Yeah, maybe I could see you
again sometime?”
“Yeah, that would be great.”
She blushed.
“Would you like me to walk you
home?”
“No, I’m fine.” She
almost snapped at me. “I really need to leave.” She smiled and left.
“Would you like to explain
that?” Tay appeared again.
“Explain what?”
“Bringing strangers into our
house, that’s what.” He just wants to get into a fight.
“She’s my friend.” Even
though I’ve only known her for like three hours, that still counts.
“Oh bullshit. You’re just
trying to make me look bad in front of other people and you know what I’m not
going to stand for it.” I hate when he makes up crazy shit to blame on me.
“If you’re allowed to bring
your slutty-whore girlfriend in the house then I can bring who ever the hell I
want to in here! This is not just ‘your’ house, it’s ours.” He was
pissed because he never lets anyone say anything bad about his girlfriend. I
hated her so she deserves it. He walked right up to me and punched me in the
nose.
“That’s it, your hit.” I
tackled his ass to the ground and started punching him. I am stronger than him
so I can usually keep him down. He got out somehow thought and pushed me with
all his might. I went backwards and tripped over a wire. I fell right through
the bay window. Ike just was pulling up into the driveway and ran over.
“What happened!?!” Ike was
going to kill us. Tay came outside.
“We were fighting.” Tay said
with a straight face. We were both bleeding. This was the first time we ever got
into this physical of a fight. If mom found out she would kill us.
