New Girl - (6)

'Well I don't know much but when he was young he was such a sweet boy, he would always come visit me and always helped me with grocery. But as time passed he changed but the most change that happen in him was two years ago. One day he just stop talking to me, or even smiling. I would hear him being mean to other kids and sometimes he would talk bad things about me too...' Sally said making a sad face.

'I talked to his mother but she didn't know what's wrong with him either, after that we never really talked about him' She said.

'Oh...thanks grandma' I said giving her a smile even though this didn't tell me anything about him.

'It feels nice when you call me grandma' She said giving me a hug.

I barely call her grandma mostly I would say Sally but today I was so upset that I didn't realize that I was saying grandma.

'Sweetheart someone is here to see you...' My mom yelled from downstairs. I put my books away and go downstairs to see who it was.

'Hey...' George says giving me a smile. I smile back, I was actually surprise to see him.

'What are you doing here...' I ask wondering.

'I was bored so I came here' He says as we go to my room.

'How was the detention?' George ask in a teasing voice.

'Bad, I hate that Elvis kid' I said rolling my eyes.

'What he did to you?' George ask as he lay down on my bed.

'He's just weird' I said to him as I sit down.

'He wasn't always like this...' George said looking up.

'Everyone keep on saying this! But what made him change?' I ask angry.

'Well I used to be his good friend, I don't exactly know what happen between us but one day he just came to the school and told me to never talk to him again. I didn't understand what was going on and I tried to ask him what was wrong but he started to get angry and told me to never show my face' George said in a sad voice.

'So...no one knows what happen that made him act like the way he does now?' I ask curious to know more.

Mostly I thought people were born this way, I didn't know that they can actually turn into someone they were not in the past.

'I don't think anyone does' George said as he turn to face me 'maybe Mary knows but she never said anything about all this...'

'Who is Mary?' I ask wondering.

'She was his girlfriend at that time, she was 14 and he was 15 and they both claim to be in love. Believe me if you saw those two you would have said this yourself. They never left each other for one bit but again no one knows what really happen but there were rumours that Mary was pregnant and Elvis didn't want the child.' George said playing with my fingers 'but I think this is just a rumour, if she was pregnant than he would have never left her alone'

'Wow! I think I should meet her, she seem interesting' I said giving him a smile.

'Yeah...you can but why are you so interested?' He ask with a curious voice.

'I just want to know why he acts like this, he always think of himself as being this perfect guy! I hate that' I said making a face. George let out a laugh.

'Dinner is ready!!' Mom yells from downstairs, we both go down and have dinner after dinner George didn't wanted to go home and I didn't wanted him to so we go back upstairs.

'So tell me why you don't have a girlfriend' I said as we lay down beside each other.

'I told you, girls are trouble' He said giving me a smile.

'Yeah right...not all girls' I said smiling back.

'Maybe...but first I am going to find Kelly a boyfriend' He said.

'I can help you with that...she told me she likes a guy name Danny' I said excited.

'I know that but I can't go up to him and tell him to date my sister' He said.

'How about I help you, I can hook them up for sure but you will have to show me who he is'

'Okay...' He said as he get up to leave.

We said bye to each other as he left to go to his house.

Nope, it is all so lame...isn't choosing university suppose to be the best thing in your life well for me it became the worse. I mean common with all the tension I had on my head, tension about Elvis, tension about my grades, tension about everything and on top of that my parents! How can they expect me to go to a program which they won't even talk about.

After saying bye to George I went to bed and woke up in morning just so I could hear a big lecture about going into University.

'Did you decide what you want to become?' My mom ask at the breakfast table.

'No..actually I was thinking to become a pharmacist or maybe go into business, maybe law' I said to her.

'NO! You are not going into law, they have to fight too many people!' She said in a loud voice, which kind of scare me. I mean common what does she have against lawyers.

'Okay...than I will apply in two program, science and buisness' I said.

'Science is good but business?? which university are you thinking to apply?'

'I didn't decide yet but in total I will apply to 6 universities'

'When your dad comes you will have to talk to him about this' She said giving me a look. I don't say anything, during this conversation I kind of lost my appetite. I hate it when my mom acted this way, thinking she can control anything.

'Wait I will drop you to school' Mom said as she got her purse and went outside. I roll my eyes and follow her.

When we get to school I get out of the car and make my way in, to my surprise Cassy, Kristy and Kelly was standing near the main entrance.

'Hey guys...' I said giving them a smile. They don't smile back but they do look at me in a weird way.

'What did you say to Elvis?' Kristy ask looking at me with anger.

'Um...I didn't say anything' I tell her the truth because I had no idea what she was talking about.

'Than why did he cancel the date!' She said in a angry voice.

'Kristy, I don't know what your talking about...I was with George last night so I didn't even talk to Elvis or saw him after the detention' I tell her.

She ignores me and make her way inside, great now everyone is going to hate me I think to myself. Cassy gives me a smile and tell me that she will talk to me later as she and Kelly make their way in as well.

I felt so angry that Elvis cancelled the date on her and I was getting blame for it. I mean, what did I say to him?

I make my way to class, Mr Hauken was standing there getting ready to teach us. I made my way towards my desk and took a seat. I wasn't in any mood to talk, first my mom and now Kristy. Life can't get any worse, I think to myself.

When lunch came I decided to talk to Kristy, I mean common what harm can that make. She was sitting their alone so I made my way toward her.

'What are you doing here?' She said in a sad voice, I could tell she was hurt.

'Listen, I am so sorry about what happen! But you have to believe me, I did not do anything' I said in a convincing voice.

'I'm sorry for getting mad at you in the morning, I was just pissed that he did that to me and I was pissed that you were right about him. I mean I know how he is and I have seen him kissing girls but I thought maybe he actually like me...' She said with teary eyes.

I take a seat beside her as I try to comfort her.

'Listen to me, he is just a jerk! You don't need him' I said, as I give her a smile.

'No...is because I'm ugly, if only I could lose more weight than maybe guys would actually start liking me'

'Kristy, you are not ugly! And remember this, you do not need to lose any weight! you are really skinny and thats enough' I said holding her hand 'Did you talk to someone about your bulimic problem?'

'No...I don't know who to go to' She said. Even I didn't know who she should to go but I guess she have to get start somewhere and the best way for her to get started is to see a counselor.

'You are going to go see a counselor...I am going to make a appointment for you' I said as I make her get up on her feet.

'Where are we going?' She ask.

'To make a appointment'

'But...why now??' She said confuse.

'Because the faster we go the better' I tell her as we make our way thru the crowd.

There was no one in the office except for people working so we went directly to the lady sitting on the desk.

'May I help you?' She ask with a smile on her face.

'She wants to make a appointment with her counselor' I tell the lady with blue eyes.

'If you want you can go in right now...' The lady says looking at Kristy. Kristy looks at me and than back at the lady.

'Yes! She will love to go right now'

'Go and tell her everything! I can't come in but please just tell her everything and she will try helping you I am sure about this' I said to her as I give her a hug and wait for her to go in.

Once she went in the office and the door was closed behind her I made my way outside, and to my surprise Elvis was standing there, having a cigarette. Yuck, I hate people who smoke. Another reason to hate him I say to myself.

'Smoking is not good for you' I said to him, he look up and go back to smoking.

'Why did you cancel the date with Kristy! You know how upset she is' I ask him, but still I get no answer.

'So you going to play a game to ignore me now?' I ask but no answer. I get pissed and start going back.

'Didn't you want that' He says which makes me stop. I turn around to face him.

'What you mean? I didn't want you to break her heart and make her cry!!' I said.

'You told me that I shouldn't go out with Kristy because I am going to end up hurting her'
'Yes but why would you cancel on her, ahh'

'Well I don't see any other way to not go on a date, at least I called her up and told her that I won't make it' He says, still smoking.

'First stop smoking and second why would you listen to me!' I said pissed.

'First I didn't do this for you, I did this because I thought of her as being a nice person and I know why I wanted to go out with her and second this is my cigarette! From my money, why you care if I smoke or not!' He says as he continue smoking.

'Fine keep smoking, when your lungs turn black than you'll be sorry' I said as I turn around to make my way toward cafeteria.

'Sarah, we were looking for you' Cassy said.

'Hey, what's up?' I ask

'Was that your mom who drop you off in the morning?' She ask.

'Yeah, why?'

'She looks like your sister! Wow' She said with a surprise face. I roll my eyes as the bell ring for next period class which was English and this mean that I will be seeing Elvis again.
