Don't Forget to Remember Me

Chapter 15

  Ayye, it's Corey here! Um, I have no idea how this author thing works, but Ninja Belle (So we don't get Belle and Belle confused... oh wait...) wouldn't upload so I decided to write a chapter in MY point of view! Consider it an autobiography? Um... So yeah, I guess I'll get on with it.

My (Corey) POV

  "...And I was all, OMG, like, seriously? I mean, I can't believe Kyle dumped me for that ugly little junior! That's totally gonna bring down his reputation, but he totally deserves it. He's never gonna get anyone half as good as me." I'm surprised the chick that just said that, Linsey, didn't turn purple. She had some lungs from being a cheerleader I guess, cause somehow she finished all of that in one breath.  

  "And she has fake boobs, she uses those squishy inserts," Chelsea stated matter-of-factly. Everyone turned to stare at her. "What? My locker's beside hers." I tittered to myself. I highly doubt that, she was probably making out with her at some party, drunk. Chelsea turned to me, smiling. She probably thought that I'd laughed about the junior girl having fake... um, breasts.

   "You believe me, right babe?" I tried not to flinch as she called me babe. After the day that Belle had 'introduced' me to her, she considered me her boyfriend. From across the table, Sophie looked at me, and I got shivers down my spine. Not the good kind, the kind you'd think a mouse would get looking at an owl. I shot her a smile and a wink, then went back to my daydreams.

  I watched from my table as Belle flicked whatever it was at some random kid. In mere seconds, the cafeteria was a madhouse. I grabbed my tray and emptied the contents by grabbing a fistful of beans and randomly launching them towards a group of kids, then used the plastic puke-colored tray as a shield. Good thing too, for a piece of bread with mustard on it came flying smack into it. Laughing, I went and tackled Brad smearing the barbecue sauce on my hands into his blonde hair. Lunch had never been better. But when I really thought about it, 2 years ago, it had.

  The shrill sound of a whistle pierced the loud yelling in the lunchroom. A teacher started yelling, and a kid snitched, pointing at Belle and Adam. I was gonna have a little chat with him later... As they switched knowing looks, I felt a pang of jealousy. I couldn't help but think, that should be me... Is it too late to fix what I'd broken?

  I got up and walked to the principal's office, trying to think of something to say to get Belle and Adam out of trouble. 

  I pushed the door open, and was greeted by a "Corey, what are you doing?" Nice to see you too dear aunt...

  "Sorry Aunt Linda, but I couldn't take it anymore. It's not their fault, I flicked a bean at Belle and she tried to hit me back, but um she missed and started a food fight?" Hmm, that didn't sound too bad. Except for when I accidentally made it sound like a question at the end, I was too nervous! If things went my way, I'd only have detention or something. If not... then I'd have my parents to face.

  I tuned back into the principal's speech when I heard my name. "...you're grounded for one month," I groaned internally, then listened to the rest of my punishment. "And you have to stay and clean the cafeteria today. Belle, Adam, you two are dismissed."

  Belle glanced at me before she left, and I thought to myself, maybe this CAN be fixed...

  "Corey, I can't believe you! Your parents send you here so I can clean you up, but no! You have to defy everything I say, and misbehave just to get more popular, huh?"

  "Sorry Linda." She glared at me, then cocked your head to the side.

  "You didn't start it, did you?" My eyes widened, and I opened my mouth.

  "Yes I did. Why else would I fess up to it? She gave me a small smile.

  "That's the girl that was always over at your house a few years ago, right?" This time I couldn't make any words come out.

  "Don't worry, the punishment I gave out is final. I won't change it, except for letting you off the hook. Try not to get into any trouble now."

  "Thank you so much Lin-Lin!" I hadn't called my Aunt that in a while, and I could tell from her expression that it'd brightened her day. Somehow, it brightened mine too.

  "Good luck Corey." With that, she gave me a small nod, and I knew I was dismissed. I couldn't help but wonder, what did she wish me good luck for? Staying out of trouble, or Belle?

A/N: So there's what I'm thinkin, how do you like it? I'll tell Ninja Belle to get off her lazy butt and start typing something goodish. She's on spring break, so she'll HAVE to type at least one chapter this week. Leave her a comment and votes, maybe she'll do it sooner! Oh, and I have to do the song thing, right? Um, how about 'You're Gonna Go Far, Kid' by The Offspring? Okay, I guess that's all. Remember, comment and vote people, comment and vote.
