Dreams and Reality- Aqua's Version by Tammy (best novels for teenagers .txt) 📖

signal that she was definitely calm now. I think she was feeling guilty for hurting her friend because she looked down.
“I’m sorry Rye. I told you that you didn’t want to be my friend.” She mumbled. That second I knew that she cared about him, and that I had to leave him alone because this was her first friend for a long time and possibly her first boyfriend to. His eyes were still wide as she looked up, and he looked down. Then he looked at her and relaxed.
“Just because your hurt doesn’t mean I’m going to stop being you friend. You can’t get rid of me that easy. Especially since it was so much to get you to speak.” He whispered. He lifted her face, and smiled. Ewe, that is going to get annoying, you don’t see Jake being all mushy gushy, and they aren’t even dating. I think I’m jealous, wait jealous of her? No way, it’s just her annoying friend getting to me.
“Smile and try to be happy for me or at least for yourself.” He asked, and she nodded then walked away. He started to go after her, but I knew better, she needed her space so I stopped him and told him to give her a minute. I knew he would so I left to talk to Jake, Sapphire stayed behind like the little jerk she is. That is so like her, why can’t she leave my sister alone I mean what happened to her happened so long ago why can’t she drop it?
“Hey Jake! So what’s your sched?” I asked curious, the girls were talking to their boyfriends in the group, or flirting with their crushes, I didn’t really care.
“Uumm, football, why what’s yours?” He asked, but he kept looking at the guys like he wanted to talk to them more or something. What the hell?! This is going to get annoying, why can’t he be romantic like Rye? He wasn’t even dating my sister, and he already treated her like a girl in a chick flick.
“Cheerleading, so I guess I get to cheer you on. What position are you trying for?” I asked, happy that I could cheer for him, but also still kind of annoyed but I just flashed my sweetest smile and looked up at his blue-grey eyes.
“Sounds cool, and first-liner.” He now seemed happy that I was cheering him on, or he was happy to see my face light up. Finally some romance, now I see why I like him. I wish I knew what first-liner was, I still didn’t understand football, all I know is that you had to have the most points to win.
Then the bell rang, and he walked me to the field carrying my stuff for me and smiling at me.
“Good luck, I hope you make it, and maybe even captain of your section.” I told him, truly hoping he would. That would be so cool, I mean I could be captain of the cheerleading squad, and he could be captain of the first-liners.
“Um, there is no captain of the football team, or the sections, but thanks and I hope you make captain of the cheerleading team.” He corrected me with a smile. Well how was I supposed to know, and how did they function without anyone in charge besides the coach? Now I feel bad, because he didn’t even have to ask about cheerleading to know what I was going for. I must have been frowning while thinking, because he leaned down, he was three or four inches taller, and then kissed my cheek.
“It’s okay that you didn’t know a lot of people don’t.” He smiled, and then jogged to his locker room to change. I didn’t realize we were even to the field, so I walked to the locker room to change into uniform with the other girls.
“So, I see Jake still looovvvees you,” my friends teased.
“Yeah well, that doesn’t mean I’m going to be any weaker trying out for captain.” I said simply, even though I knew none of them would dare try out for captain while I was. “Brooke and Sapphire, I want you two to try out for co-captain.”
Then we all walked down to the field and tried out for our places, then just practiced some cheers, and flips. Jake scored a goal, and then smiled at me; we would know what positions we made at the end of the day. How sweet, he did that for me. So I did the most difficult flip and cheer I had for him, and smiled. Then class was over, he didn’t have the next few classes with me, because I was advanced in everything and he wasn’t, but he still walked me to every class. During class, me and my friends passed notes and whispered when teachers weren’t paying attention, although most of them didn’t really care. Then it was lunch time, my second time of the day, next to the end of it. Jake walked me to lunch of course.
“Will you sit with us at lunch today Jake?” I asked hoping he would say yes, I grinned and looked up at him.
“Actually, I promised I would hang with the guys.” He told me, already looking at his table. He must have saw that I was disappointed because he said, “How about I do tomorrow, and today I get you your usual salad instead?” I nodded and smiled, even though I was still disappointed, I was good at faking happiness, it was my specialty. He brought me my lunch and I went to sit by my sister, I wanted to talk to her, so I sat across from her.
“Hey.” I said smiling, because her friend was there which made me happy to see her happy.
“Hi.” They said at the same time. “Bye.” Elle said, and then left for a different table. What is wrong with her! I didn’t even do anything today. I didn’t even have any classes with her yet so I couldn’t peeve her off.
“Sorry, but I’ve got to go after her.” Rye said apologetically. Oh my god, are you kidding me she totally just blew me off, and he is going to comfort her? That is not going to happen. I’m not sure why this bothered me but something about my sister getting his attention bugged me.
“You’re not even dating. I could be a better friend.” I told him, and saw my sister freeze, sit her tray down and walk over to where me and my friends were sitting.
“You had better take that back right now.” She growled at me.
“No. It’s not like you’d do anything about it.” I said plainly. She wouldn’t either. Besides, she brought this on herself by being a jerk.
“Sounds like you’ve been hanging out with your pet snobs to long. Their attitude is starting to rub off on you.” She spat at me.
“I would rather have an attitude then mope around all day, and ignore every decent person. Besides I only said the truth. I could be a better friend to him. I wouldn’t make him leave his friends to talk to me, and I certainly wouldn’t go around making him feel bad for me.” I said starting to get angry with her little stupid comments.
“If you say one more thing you are going to see what anger can do to a person.” She hissed fiercely, but still quietly.
That was the end of my freaking line I started to sneer at her. “Really, okay. Here’s the honesty you say you want so dearly, you’re a cruel person that tries to make everyone feel bad for you. You are a heartbreaker, and you’re probably playing Rye for all he’s worth.” I was standing, and throwing my words at her now. Then she punched me in the stomach. At that moment I hated her, and I knew it was in my eyes because it was in hers, and her angry tears were going down her face, but a few hurt ones were going down mine. Then her friend pulled her back. I heard him mumble something to her, but I didn’t care she needed to learn her place soon, before I got really mad. He hugged her, as if she needed one in my opinion she didn’t need his comfort. No teachers said anything; they probably thought it was me getting the attention. Then she broke away from Rye.
“Your pathetic, a no good liar, and I hate you.” She said it with no emotion. Whatever, she was the one taking advantage of her new friend, not me. She didn’t have to start this battle, she knows she only gets hurt starting them, but that’s fine with me she can just go die in a hole for all I care.
“You don’t mean that. She’s you sister and you’ll always love her. She’s just jealous for some reason. Just try to understand she didn’t mean what she said either.” He told her as they sat down at the table in front of ours. On second thought, she can bring her little friend with her to. I do hate her, who does he think he is trying to say I don’t mean that I hate her. Ugh why doesn’t he get that they shouldn’t be friends. And jealous? Of her? I DON’T THINK SO!
“You are not taking her side. She’s just a liar that pretends to be someone else, and when I say I hate her I mean it! You don’t know how she is, you only know a little bit about what she pretends to be! So don’t tell me to apologize because she’s the one that should.” How dare she, she always tries to do this. Oh look at me I’m all sad and alone, well in case she hasn’t noticed it’s her fault that she’s alone, if she was normal she would at least fake happiness to make friends.
“Elle look maybe your right about some things, but you punched her. I thought you could be the bigger person and that’s how you got through this, but you’re making me doubt you. You hit you sister, it makes me wonder what you would have done if it’d been someone else.” I heard him tell her.
“Look, I don’t know how many times I’ll have to tell you this; you don’t want to be my friend. You shouldn’t be my friend; I don’t want you to be. You will only get hurt if you hang around me.” She rushed her words, trying not to cry; I must have broken her. Good.
“Fine. Be that way but you’re making a mistake.” He said, disappointed. Ew, that is disgusting, defending her actions that she had no reason for, that she caused. You didn’t see me having Jake say, oh it’s okay because I like you, what a stupid reason.
Then he picked up his tray, and walked over to my table, and slammed his tray down. “I told you I was the better friend.” I told him, with a smile, triumphant.
“Alright I’ve had enough out of you two! Grow up or don’t talk to me anymore.” He shouted, then walked straight to the trash and dumped his tray. On his way back I shouted at him, frustrated.
“You’re making a big deal out of nothing! It’s not like your dating.” The rest of the day my friends and I talked about how awesome I was during the fight, and how my sister was a loser for thinking she could beat me. In drama, I noticed that Rye was ignoring Elle. Serves her right, I mean she was being a jerk for nothing, and then blew him off. I wish he would realize that I wouldn’t do that, and he should leave her for me. Finally, it was the
