Imprinted on My Heart
Chapter 3
Maeve’s POV
I did some homework before noticing it was 6 o’clock and about time to start making breakfast so I went to my father and asked what he would like earning another slap and a grumbled comment about being a freak before I headed downstairs to make what he wanted.
When everyone was up and fed I ate myself in the kitchen away from them. Soon my father left and Cashlin started up a phone conversation with one of her many lovers while Amber went up to her room to apply her many layers of make up and adorn herself with slutty clothes.
I myself only wear eyeliner and mascara most of the time but today I slicked on some lip gloss as well. I wore (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=3637225) a folk dress with black gladiator heels and a matching bag as well as a scarf and some bangles and a ring. My hair was down in its usual waves but the top layer was up in a ponytail with my fringe hanging in my face.
I waited by the door with my keys as I heard Amber finishing with my highly sensitive ears and a moment later she breezed down the stairs in a micro school skirt, one of the tightest shirts I have ever seen in my life which made her boobs look even odder than they were, she obviously forgot to stuff the left one enough today; knee high navy socks with 4 inch peep toe black heels and her navy blazer hanging off her arm with her black tote bag. She rolled her eyes at me and said
“Come along bitch, I don’t want to be late because of you” I closed my eyes and prayed for patience before following her out the door.
I pulled up into a parking space and turned off the engine as Amber got out and walked off towards her new friends shouting
“don’t wait for me after school, I’m going to Jamie’s” then she was gone. I sighed and leant my head back onto the headrest and rubbed circles into my throbbing temples. I had been subjected to Britney the whole way here at decibels equal to a jet engine; my sensitive ears made it seem that way anyway.
After a moments rest I got out of the car and locked it before walking into the courtyard and over to the bench that Alex and co occupied; it currently sat Jo, Bryce and Alex. I smiled at the mere sight of Alex and my pace quickened until I sat myself down on the bench next to him and smiled at the group
“hey there” Brice grinned and said hey while glancing at Alex while Jo smiled and replied
“hey Mae, you’re looking very stylish today” I smiled
“well thank you Jo, you are looking very artsy today!” Jo giggled and said
“why thank you, it took me ages to perfect this just got out of the studio look (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=1923632 with paint splatters)” I laughed and Alex leant down to whisper in my ear
“that’s because she has just gotten out, Brice had to drag her” I giggled even more and Alex grinned at me while Jo rolled her eyes and started talking to Brice again.
Alex turned so he was facing me so I decided to do the same and leant my elbow on the table before leaning on my hand and staring up at him. He grinned and asked
“so how was your night?” I couldn’t tell him the truth but I couldn’t lie either so I just replied
“it was the normal, what about yours?” he shrugged and said
“Nothing eventful happened except Gabe came over and fell out of my window” I gasped and asked
“oh my god is he alright?!” Alex chuckled and said
“yeah he’s fine, there’s a rather large bush under my window and he fell into it before rolling off onto one of our dogs, that’s how he got injured, the dog bit him on the arm for landing on him, nothing bad though but he seems to be fine as all those girls are cooing over him” I looked at him confused and he motioned behind me where I saw Gabe sat a bench surrounded by girls, Amber being one of them, telling them a story of a massive wolf and a fight between them. I cocked a brow at the wolf part before laughing and shaking my head
“he can make any situation into a way to pick up girls can’t he?” Alex nodded and I decided to change subject
“Alex do you know of any jobs going in town?” he looked at me quizzically and asked
“why?” I smiled
“’cause I need a job to earn money so I can buy things like petrol, so do you know any?” he shook his head
“not off the top of my head but I can take you into town after school and show you around, maybe ask some people” I grinned and hugged him which surprised him slightly before backing off and grinning at him again
“thanks, what time do you finish?” he regained himself and said
“umm 2:00” I sighed
“oh I finish at 1:00” he thought a moment before saying
“well you could always come and watch me running, it’s track so you can sit in the stands and watch me” I smiled
“that would be cool, I’ll see you at 1:00 on the field then?” he grinned and replied
“sure” the bell rang then and we got up and went our separate ways to classes.
I sat in Art & Design next to Mia who was drawing an adaption of the dress I was wearing while Jo had a clump of clay in her hand and was sculpting it into a cow, don’t ask me why. I was looking through the list of projects we could do and trying to decide what mine would be for this term.
I finally decided on the different mediums project as you can use different things like photography, painting, textiles ect in order to complete the project.
“What are you doing for your term project Mia?” I asked her and she looked up from her creation to smile at me and say
“well I was thinking textiles, I wanna do a range of clothes that embody different emotions so that would go with the emotion project as well so I get 2 for 1!” I laughed and nodded
“that’s a good idea, need a model?” she giggled and said
“of course, I always need models and now Jo doesn’t have to do it alone!” Jo glared playfully and said
“yeah I’ve been her model for years, it’s someone else’s turn now to be tortured by pins”
“hey it’s not my fault every time I try to fit you, you end up trying to get away to snog Brice!” just before Jo could retort I asked
“so what are you doing Jo?” she looked at me and smiled
“I’m doing surreal dreamscape, I just need to find a surreal place to base it” I thought a moment and the park immediately came to mind
“what about the park?” she looked at her paper in thought before grinning
“yeah that’s a good idea, I could do it all fuzzy like in black and white with brightly coloured children in business suits” I laughed and said
“that sounds cool”
“what are you doing?” Mia asked me and I smiled
“well I wanna do the different mediums, I was thinking of a portrait but the face split into parts like 1 part photo, another paint, textiles etc, you get it?” they both nodded
“yeah it sounds awesome, who’s gonna be your model?” I smirked
“well I think I’ll let you off the hook Jo and Mia can be my model” Jo laughed and Mia pouted before clapping
“yay I get to model, how do you want me to pose?” I laughed and replied
“not yet, we have to research first!”
We then got on with our work and talked occasionally and laughed.
The class finished and I waved Jo and Mia later while I went to the vending machine and put in my money before pressing A7 for a Twirl, I was in need of a chocolate fix. As I bent to retrieve it someone came up behind me and when I stood up they spun me around and pressed my back into the machine. Looking at the person who invaded my bubble I saw Melinda Roberts glaring at me with hate filled eyes, she finally spat out
“Who do you think you are?!” I raised a brow and said
“excuse me? What do you want?”
“you think you can breeze in here and get into their group like that while I’ve been trying to for years” I rolled my eyes, I was not up for this right now
“listen Melinda, I don’t care if you have tried to be their friend and they didn’t like you, it’s obviously a character flaw you have that I don’t but either way don’t blame me for it” she went to slap me but I grabbed her arm and twisted it until she was face first into the vending machine, I leant close to her ear and whispered
“I don’t care about your petty jealousy problems, get over it and stay the hell away from me” I then released her and walked off eating my Twirl like nothing happened.
Photography went past quickly again and I was soon walking out to the track field to watch Alex run.
I settled myself onto a bench and rubbed my arms as there was a little chill in the air and all I had was this thin dress on. I didn’t have to wait long for the guys to come out and Alex was the first, he looked towards the bleachers where I sat and waved before running over to me. He sat on the bench next to me and grinned
“well hi there” I smiled and said
“yes hello again Alex” I shivered again and he frowned. Then he took off his fleece and pulled it down over my head saying
“keep it warm for me while I train, don’t want a cold jumper, or you for that matter” I laughed and replied
“thanks, I was berating myself for forgetting a coat today” he grinned and was about to reply but the coach shouted
“get down here Van Helsing and stop flirting, there’s time for that after practice!” Alex rolled his eyes while I laughed before he bounded off over to the rest of the team as they warmed up.
As they started little races I couldn’t help but admire him, he moved with grace along the track but he had a power coming off of him that drove him faster than the others, like a coiled spring, even like a wolf chasing down its prey which is the finishing line, it did funny things to my tummy.
An hour later practice finished and Alex said bye to his team mates before coming over and grabbing my hand before leading me to the parking lot
“I leant my car to Nick as his broke down so would you mind giving me a lift home after we’ve gone to town?” I shook my head and smiled at him
“sure, no problem I mean you are helping me” he grinned and playfully said
“well darn straight, I better get a coffee out of it too!” I laughed and said
“well that all depends on if I get a job” he laughed and then looked at my car and whistled
“well I’ll be damned, this is a nice car, expensive too, your dad get you this?” I shook my head
“Nope I got it all by myself with money I earnt” he nodded with a grin
“that’s cool, mine was a birthday present from my granddad” I smiled and asked as I opened the doors
“you guys close?” he shrugged
“as close as you can get to someone who can’t remember you that much” I frowned
“Alzheimer’s?”
“yeah, got to him eventually and now he writes about his life while he can still remember it” I smiled softly at him as I started the engine
“that’s good, it will help slow down the degeneration if he can keep remembering” Alex looked at me and asked
“how do you know so much?” I grinned and said
“I volunteered at a nursing home once, some of the loveliest were the Alzheimer’s patients well until their mood swings got bad then it wasn’t so good but I still loved them all the same” Alex grinned and shook his head
“your brilliant, you know that?” I laughed and pulled out
“well I do now! Put your belt on and turn the radio on, just no Britney please!” he laughed and did as I said and AC/DC came through the speakers and I sped out of the school lot.
I did some homework before noticing it was 6 o’clock and about time to start making breakfast so I went to my father and asked what he would like earning another slap and a grumbled comment about being a freak before I headed downstairs to make what he wanted.
