Baby, I'm a Million.
The Kids Are Alright.
I glance over my shoulder and saw Sloane sitting behind me, she had her head in her hands like she was really upset. I had noticed that she was hanging out with that Claire girl a lot, I knew that Nancy and Ferris didn't like her. She was a bitch to me when I first moved here, but then again almost everyone except Nancy was.
"Good job you idiot," Cameron says to Ferris. "She's gonna blow up in a second and I'm not about to stick around and watch."
Cameron gathers his jacket and his books before leaving the restaurant as quickly as his long legs would take him.
"Maybe I should go to," I say then I start to gather my things too.
"No, don't worry about it Avery," Ferris says and continues to eat his burger as normal.
Nancy sits quietly, looking at the back of Sloane's head nervously until all the sudden Sloane and Claire stand up, they stand beside our table. Claire had her arms crossed and stood with this real prissy look on her face, Sloane glares own at all three of us.
"Why in the fuck am I not allowed to have other friends besides you? I hang out with Claire a little bit and you plan on breaking up with me, you're so fucking shallow!" Sloane yells at Ferris, causing many people to turn their heads and stare at us.
"It's not that you're hanging out with other people, it's that you're hanging out with her! When you hang out with her you act like a little rich bitch," Ferris yells back at her.
Nancy and I sit at the table quietly, we didn't look at Sloane or Ferris. We looked at our food, but every few seconds we looked at each other with this look that said, "We should've left while we had the chance."
Ferris and Sloane fought for a couple more minutes about Sloane becoming a snob, and how they just weren't the same as they were when they first started dating. To be honest their argument sounded more like two kids fighting over candy than two teenagers fighting about their relationship.
Suddenly Sloane looks at me with this look of pure hatred in her eyes, "This is all your fault! Ever since you started hanging out with us our group has fallen to shit! I wish you would go back where you came from!"
I felt tears threaten to come out, but I fought them. I couldn't let her know she got to me, "I'm sorry you feel that way about me, Sloane."
"It's not her fault that you've turned snobby, at this point I like her a lot more than you! If she would've moved here when we were freshmen I'd probably be with her instead of you!" Ferris says and drapes his arm around my shoulders. My face turn bright red, I put my face in my hands and shake my head. Nancy still stays quiet while Ferris tells Sloane it's officially over and she leaves.
"Avery, are you okay? You look like you're gonna throw up," Nancy says casually.
"I'm fine, I just want to go home." I pick up my things and flee the restaurant. I revert back to when I was on the track team at my old school and I run all the way home.
When I get home I set my things down in the kitchen and I get a glass of water, as usual nobody was home. I knew where everyone was: my dad was at work, my mom was out searching for a job as a way to escape my dad on the rare occasion he was home, and Kelly and Jackson were with Mom's new best friend. Ever since we moved here my parents had been fighting like crazy people, my mom tried to down play it to keep me calm but I knew it was bad. They hardly every fought before we moved, in fact our life was perfectly normal.
I was sitting at the kitchen table doing my homework when the question hit me like a ton of bricks,"Will my life ever be normal again?"
"Good job you idiot," Cameron says to Ferris. "She's gonna blow up in a second and I'm not about to stick around and watch."
Cameron gathers his jacket and his books before leaving the restaurant as quickly as his long legs would take him.
