Waiting for Superman by Makayla Hanks (read aloud txt) 📕

I take a quick shower and text Alec.

When we get to his room, we both get in his bed. Him on the left (closer to the door) me to the right by the wall. He rolls over and faces the door.

"Goodnight Brier. I love you."

"Goodnight. I love you too."

Chapter 6: Drama

We get to school and everyone is staring at me. I am not in the mood to deal with people. Some chick was staring at me when I walked past her I gave her a dirty look and said

"What?!"

She just looked away.

I saw the girl from yesterday that told dumb bitch 1 and 2 that they have DSL’s. I walked up to her

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, shoot."-Chick

"Why is everyone staring at me?"

"Do you want the truth sugar coated or blunt?"-Chick

"Blunt."

"People think you and Connor had sex."-Chick

"Why do they think that?! That never happened!"

"Probably the usual. Some jealous preppy bitch started a rumor."-Chick

"I need to go talk to Connor. Thanks for telling me. What’s your name?"

"No problem and Blair. And yours is Brier right?"-Blair

"Yeah. Nice to meet you! You don’t believe the rumor do you?"

"Nah. I don’t get mixed into anything unless I know for sure. I believe you didn’t do anything. Alec wouldn’t let him and you don’t seem the type."- Blair

"Thanks. There isn’t very many girls here that I like but you’re pretty cool."

"Thank you. And to be honest I don’t either, but you seem cool too."-Blair says smiling

"Well I have to go talk to Connor and maybe beat the crap out of him. So if you’ll excuse me."- I smile

Blair laughs and says "Well I wouldn’t want to delay that so Bye!"

"Bye!"

Looks like I made a friend. And she’s a girl! This is so exciting. I’ve never had a girl friend, all of my "friends" are guys cause I’m with Alec most of the time. Anyway I need to get back to business. Connor. I swear if he told people that we had sex, I’m gonna kill him, unless Alec found out, then he is probably already dead. I walk into the cafeteria looking for Connor. I see him at the far table with his friends. I have to walk past the preppy bitch table. The new head preppy bitch, Taylor Manning, is looking at me giving me a dirty look. I stop and look at her with the nastiest look I can conjure.

"Do you have a problem?"-I say giving her a lot of attitude

"No it’s just that I’m looking at the new school slut is all"-Giving me equal attitude

I laugh "You know what bitch? You got a lot of nerve. You say I’m the school slut when you’ve fuck the whole soccer team and most of the football team."

She gasp and narrows her eyes "That includes your dickhead brother." She smirks at me

Hold the fuck up! She did not just bring Alec into this!

I glare at her and say

"First of all Alec would never touch you, he says you have disease. Second keep my brother’s name out of your nasty bitch mouth!"

She gasp again and slaps me. I’m kinda shock that she hit me. I laugh.

"You even hit like a bitch!"

Then I tackle her to the ground and I start punching her in the face. I get like five or six hits in before someone pulls me off. I kick her in the side as they pull me off. She gets up, her noise is bleeding and her face is red. She runs to the bathroom crying. That is the second preppy bitch I’ve beat up at this school. The first one told me that I was a freak because I didn’t talk to anyone. I told her she was a slut and a two timing hoe. She hit me, I beat the shit out of her.

I turn around to see who pulled me off. It was Connor.

"Did you go and tell everyone that we had sex? Because if you I’m gonna kick your ass next!"

He just looks at me, with wide eyes, for a second. "No Brier! I would never do. We didn’t even have sex! I told you that I wouldn’t try!"

"Well everyone thinks that you and I-"

Alec stomps in glaring and heading straight for Connor. Oh no. Everyone moves out of his way.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU?! You’re about to die! Move Brier!"-Alec

He’s about half way to us when he looks down at me and stops in his tracks.

"What happened to you?!"

"She just beat the shit out of Taylor!"-Brandon one of his friends say

"Why?!"

"First she called me a slut, then she called you a dickhead. I called her a nasty bitch and I said that she needs to keep your name out of her mouth. She slapped me, I fucked her."-I say really fast

He sits there and tries to hide his smile. Then he looks at Connor who is behind me, and he gets pissed off again. He starts to walk towards us, with his fist clenched.

"I told you to keep your hands to yourself! I let her go to your house and you go an-"

"We didn’t do anything! Taylor started the rumor! I can’t believe you actually think that I did it. You know me better than anyone!"-I say I’m still a little pissed about Taylor

He stops. He is right in front of us. He eyes Connor, then looks down at me.

"You didn’t do anything? You swear?"

"Pinky swear!"-I hold out my pinky. This is our thing, if we aren’t lying we have to pinky swear. If we pinky swear and we’re lying then the other never talks to us again. Alec looks around to see that everyone is looking at us.

"Really Brier? Right in front of everyone?!"-He whispers

"Yes! Right in front of everyone! Pinky swear! Now!"-Okay I’m not mad, I’m pissed!

Alec’s face turns red, he gives me a I-hate-you-right-now look and he pinky swears. Someone behind him laughs. He flips his head around to see who it is, but the go silent, which was probably smart. We pinky swear and I say

"Now apologize to Connor."

"No! Even if you didn’t he needs to know that he can’t! I was just protecting you! I do not need to apologize!"

Connor pipes up "It’s okay, you don’t need to apologize, I understand. But you need to know I would never do anything Brier doesn’t want me to. She told me not to try anything and I said I wouldn’t. I told you I wouldn’t so I didn’t. Taylor obviously fucked up and probably regrets starting the rumor"- He starts smiling when he says that. He holds his hand out to Alec. Alec looks at me then at him and takes his hand. I hear some people gasp. I laugh. Then the principle, Mr. Gardner walks in. Oh shit.

He took me, Connor, Alec, Taylor, and Brandon into his office. He talks to all of us individually. He found out that Taylor hit me first so I didn’t get suspended, thank God for that, just ISS (In school suspension) for the rest of the week. Taylor’s dad wanted to press charges but Mr. Gardner said that because Taylor hit me first that he couldn’t. Taylor was suspended. Her dad made her apologize to me. I could barely held back my smile. By the time we got finished it was the middle of fifth hour, which is calculus for Alec and me. He made sure he got the class with me so that I could help him. When we walked in Chance, Alec’s best friend, made a cop siren sound. Everyone laughed, we did to. I winked at Chance, and he blushed! I have always liked him the most of Alec’s friends. Alec saw me wink and he hit me in the shoulder. I faked like it hurt a lot and he freaked out. I looked at him and laughed. He rolled his eyes but I knew he was holding a smile back.

Seventh hour finally came I have that class with Connor. I was in my usual seat when I felt a pencil go down my back. I turn around and say

"No! You are not gonna do that all hour again!"- I laugh

Connor just smiles and laughs.

"So are you coming over again?"

"Well yeah, we haven’t finished the project yet."

"Is Alec gonna let you?"-Connor

"Yeah I talked to him about it. He said if I still wanted to I could."

"And you still want to?"-Connor said with anxious eyes

"Just said yes I do, we haven’t finished the project."

"What about when we finish? Would you still want to come over?"- He looks really anxious

I was kinda shocked that he asked me that but before I realized it I said

"Yes." I blush

He visibly relaxes and smiles really big, I smile back and turn around quickly.

Chapter 7: Back to the Moore Mansion

We are back at Connors house and we are painting when all of the sudden we hear a door slam and people start screaming. I guess that’s his parents. I look at him but he focus on his painting. The voices get louder. Connor huffs and walks over to his radio and turns in on really loud, to drown out the sound. I continue to work when all of the sudden a woman runs into the room. She starts to yell at Connor until she sees me. She stops completely and just stares at me. After a second Connor says

"Mom this is Brier, she is my partner for poetry. We have a project that we have to do at home so we came here. Brier this is my mom, Amy."

I smile at her sweetly. I want her to like me. I stand up to shake her hand. She rubs down her skirt and clears her throat. At first I thought she wasn’t going to take my hand. But then she smiles and says

"Hi Brier it’s nice to meet you!" Then she takes my hand and shakes it

"I’m
