Live a Little

Chapter 4

~back at home 5:30pm~

I opened the front door and was greeted by Jack and Liam's glares. I continued walking to my room.

"MASON GET BACK HERE AND SIT YOUR ASS DOWN" Liam yelled

I walked through to the living room and sat on the armchair whilst the rest stood around me even Milo, gang up on me why don't you 6 against 1 seems perfectly fair I thought to myself.

"Do you care to explain to me why you got a detention, swore, skipped third period and ended up in the nurses office with a random boy" I widened my eyes in absolute shock how did he know all of that?

"I received a call at lunch telling me you where in detention along with the reason why and then I got another call at the end of school from the nurse asking how you where doing and if the admins office had made Sure to mark you present for third period since you where with her" he spat and crossed his arms.

"She then proceeded to tell me that the boy you was with was very lovely and helped take care of you!"
this time he yelled,

God that nurse grassing me in to my brother what a biatch

"EXPLAIN" he shouted all my brother where glaring at me, this was news to them I gulped down hard almost causing myself to choke.

"Well um I was tired in English so I went to lay my head down but used more force than necessary and I thwacked my head on the table and cussed because it hurt like actual hell, then I went to the nurse because it was throbbing when I run into a guy at full speed and went flying so helped me and I was all wobbly and lightheaded so he helped me there and then stayed with me and then helped me back to class to make sure I was ok .... quite nice of him actually."

They all glared at me.

"Who was the boy" I looked at them blankly but
stayed silent

"WHO WAS IT" Anthony pressed getting closer to me, they would freak when they found out.

"itwasvincent" I said really quietly and quickly under my breath, they all moved closer,

"What was that?" Jack said sternly

"It was Vincent" I said sheepishly, Anthony got really angry and I could see that the twins did too

"So at lunch when I introduced you and he defended you...YOU ALREADY KNEW EACH OTHER"
I nodded

"You acted like you never met... oh my God He was talking to me about a hot girl he ran into, that was YOU!" He spat at me running his hands though his hair.

"Yeah but he never said my name to you" obviously you idiot!

"No, because you walked in before he could, no wonder it took him so long to spot you when we mentioned you, because you told him you where called Mae" he growled

"Look I'm sorry okay but I'm tired and want to go to bed please" They all looked and as if it was planned they all shook their heads 'NO'.... well I'm done for good!

"What about before you spent all afternoon with him then you hugged him before we left LIKE WHAT THE HELL MAE" he was definitely angry

"He's a Friend" I defended

"Friend my ass, he's not a good influence" he scolded

"How would you know, you've known him a day" I tossed back sheepishly

"SO HAVE YOU!" He screeched

"Exactly so we can't judge him if we don't know him, I spent most of today with him as you know and I consider him a friend" I said calmly

"I heard stories about him from his old school across town, he wasn't good, even today in class he messed around and kept getting into trouble"
yep sounds like him,

"Okay fine but can I go to bed now, the nurse did tell me to get as much sleep as possible" I remarked, bored of the conversation.

"Mas-" Anthony spoke but he was cut of by Jack

"Go to bed kid we can talk about it tomorrow, sounds like you have had a rough day" I went and hugged him.

"Why do you smell so strongly of peppermint Mae" he questioned

"perfume" I shot back and darted up the stairs faster than Usain Bolt himself, enough had been shared tonight and that is a story I didn't feel like explaining.

I went upstairs took a shower got changed into some short-shorts and one of Anthony's hoodies, I sat infront of the mirror brushing my hair and humming to myself,

I started to think about the nickname he gave me 'snow' I stared at myself in the mirror for ages looking at myself when I heard a knock on my door

"Come in"

My younger brother Milo walked in and sat on my bed

"Hey Mi what's up?" I asked generally

"I wanted to make sure you where okay, they where pretty harsh on you down there" I sighed and went and sat next to him

"I'm ok I suppose, they can just be really unfair sometimes and if really riles me up you know, anyway how was debate club?" He nodded

"debate was good our team won, the topics this week are all on the environment" I smiled

"good I'm glad you enjoyed it" I was so proud of him, I was the only one who knew he was on the debate team because he felt like the others would tease him, which they would.

"Well night Mae" he said getting up to leave

"Wait I have a question" the curiosity was killing me, he nodded for me to proceed,

"if someone nicknamed me 'snow', where do you think they got it from?" He stood an thought for a second

"Snow White...Duhhh your like twins, or at least that's what I would think" and with that he walked out.

It made so much more sense of course Snow White, my dark hair, brown eyes, red lips, pale skin. What a pretty nick name.

I pulled back my covers and got in bed and instantly fell asleep, I can't wait for tomorrow, hanging out with new friends. That was the first night I dreamt about Vincent Reed.
