Summer Fun by Reyna Wells (ereader for textbooks TXT) 📖

hard. The minute he said that, he could tell that he shouldn’t have. “Oh...I see how it is.” “Brittany-” “I will just leave you two to talk then.” I walk away and he tries to go after her but couldn’t because of Ashley keeping him there. I went through the day alone till it came time for lunch. Once I sat down, the girls could tell something was up with her. “Brittany, what’s wrong?” I could tell they were trying to cheer me up but I wasn’t sure if they even could at this point since he didn’t try to say anything to since this morning. Here she thought, he liked her but she is now thinking other wise.

Me and my girls sat there in silent for a while til I saw two people that I wouldn’t think about seeing together, well, thinking that he would have said something by now but I guess not. “Brittany, just don’t look alright and talk to us. “We won’t let you get yourself down. You're our friend, try to ignore it.” “You are right guys, thanks.” Tries to smile for them but just couldn’t do a normal smile this time. The minute I turn to look at them, I get eye contact with Aric. I move my gaze away from his as fast as I could. I knew for sure that he saw I looked at him and was down in the dumps about something.

Ashley on purpose made them walk by where we were sitting. “Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to bump your table. It was in my way.” All three of us could just look at her and wanted to hit her outside the head. Aric looks over at me. “Hey Brittany!” I look away and turn toward my friends. He could sense that I wasn’t happy but he wasn’t sure what about. “Brittany? Did something happen that I should know about?” I look at my girls and they are shaking their heads, I could tell they didn’t want me to say anything to him, let him figure it out for himself. “Brittany?! What happened to make you act this cold towards me?” Brittany couldn’t take it and stood up, turned around and looked at him. “I don’t think I need to explain anything to someone that is flirting and ignoring me for the mean girl that tried to take you the first day you were here. If you can’t see what your doing to someone you said you liked then apparently we have didn’t types of way of showing you like someone. Let’s go girls.!” Me and my girls walked off with them standing there. Ashley didn’t care, she got what she wanted. Aric, he is another story.

 

What will happen when he figures out what he is doing? Will it be too late for him to fix things with Brittany or will she have already moved on?

 

 

Two weeks later...

I was sitting in my room, doing my homework. I wasn’t sure if I was hearing things are not but I swear I thought I heard something hitting my bedroom window. I was somewhat scared to look and see what it was but I needed to look, just in case it was a peeping tom. I creep to my window like a spider. I look at the window and saw that it was...ARIC!! I stood up and just crossed my arms, he grinned, I closed my curtains and went back to doing my homework.

Two hours later…

I was about to get in the bath when I heard my phone went off. I wasn’t sure if I should look but I looked anyway. I saw that Aric sent me a text and I peeked out the window and he was still there. I sat down on my bed and replied to his text.

 

On the text conversation went:

 

Aric: Hey! What’s up with you lately?

Brittany: What’s up with me! WOW!!

Aric: WHAT?!

Brittany: Just leave me alone and go have your fun with Ashley.

Aric: Dude, why are being like this? Especially because of Ashley?

Brittany: Seriously! You are really going to say that to me.

Aric: ….

Aric: Look, Brittany, if you’re going to be that way then I guess we can’t hang out anymore.

Brittany: OMG!! You did not just say that to me. IF you want to throw away me because of her...then I guess I should have never fallen in love with a jerk like you. I regret everything I did with you!!

Aric: Brittany, you don’t really mean that.

Aric: Brittany? Answer me!!

Aric: Brittany, I’m sorry. Honest. Bye!

 

All Brittany could was cry herself to sleep that night. She wasn’t as heartbroken as she was tonight,

Next day at school...

Brittany pulled up in her, parked where she always parked, Today, her girls were standing there waiting for her. They could sense that something had happened and that she needed her back up. She got out, got her stuff, and walked toward the school with her girls. They talked like nothing had ever happened. When they neared the front doors, there was Aric with Ashley. They walked right on past them, the one thing she never wanted to happen, happened. Aric grabbed her hand and pulled her to the side. She could see that Ashley wasn’t happy that he pulled her a side and that it wasn’t where she is. She tried to ignore Ashley and try to listen what Aric has to say before she went on about her business.

There conversation went something like this:

 

Aric: Brittany, we need to talk about last night.

Brittany: There is nothing to talk about. So, can I go now.

Aric: Come on, you know we need to talk about what happened.

Brittany: There is nothing to talk about. You made it very clear that you think of her more than me. You said what you wanted to say, I’m going now. Have a nice life.

Aric: Brittany, wait!!

 

Brittany walked away and met up with her friends. Told them what happened and they told her, “You did the right thing. He’s really being a jerk.” We were just doing our own thing. Talking about what we were going to do tonight, we need some girl time. What we didn’t know was that someone was watching Brittany from a far. They were scheming of what to do next.

Later that day...

Aric was walking out from cafeteria, he heard some people talking. He looked to see who it was, it was Ashley talking to some of her girls. He hide behind the wall so he could what they were saying.

 

The conversation between the girls:

 

Ashley: I can’t believe that I got him to ignore her. Isn’t funny how she looked so hurt and how he just doesn’t act like he cares.

Girl 1: Yes, it is.

Girl 2: Well, does that mean we can go ahead and do plan B now?

Ashley: Yes it does. Later today, during girls PE, we will carry out our plan. No one will ever remember who Brittany is.

(they laugh evilly)

Girl 3: Great plan! What are you going to do about...Aric if he asks?

Ashley: Leave that to me, I have wrapped around my finger. He will do anything I tell him to. Just you wait, Brittany will be history.

(they walk off as Aric comes out of hiding)

 

What have I done? I can’t believe I thought she was different then what Brittany told me. I was so stupid, I have to find a way to fix this before PE but when does she go. Crap! What am I going to do now? I have to warn her but I don’t know if she will want to listen to me now that I screwed things up. I have to try though, this has to show that I love her and that I was stupid for doing that to her. He ran around the whole school looking for Brittany. He can’t find her anywhere. He finally heard that she has headed to PE already. She would be in the gym soon. He ran to the girls locker room, he tried to listen if he heard voices but he could hear Brittany talking to her girls while they changed. He wasn’t too late, well not yet anyway. He had to find a way to get her to come outside so he could warn her. Once he heard that another told Brittany that coach needed to see her right away, she bolted out of the locker room. He saw her run towards where the coach’s offices were located. Before she could open the door, Aric pulled her around the corner. Held her against the wall and looked to see if there was a sign of Ashley around. He didn’t see her so he moved away. He looked at the face of a very angry Brittany. Now is my chance to warn her about what Ashley is going to do. I wonder if she will listen to me? It’s worth a shot.

 

The conversation between Aric and Brittany:

 

Brittany: What do you want?

Aric: I am trying to warn you about what Ashley might do to you.

Brittany: That’s funny. You care...that’s really funny. Last I remember, you were falling over Ashley and wouldn’t even listen to me. Why do you think that I would listen to you of all people? Explain that to me.

Aric: Look, I know I have messed up BIG TIME but you have to listen to me on this.

Brittany: (laughs)

Aric: This isn’t funny! You are in danger, You gotta believe me, why would I even lie about something like this?

Brittany: I don’t know what to believe anymore. You chose her over me, someone I thought you liked. Why would I believe you after ignoring my warning on her. I thought that first you met her, that you would stay away but you didn’t. If you want to mess around with her, fine, you do that. I won’t stop you. Why don’t you think about why you even came down here.

(Brittany started to walk around the corner and head into the building having the coach’s offices)

 

Aric couldn’t remember how long he was standing there, thinking about what she said, He remembered the reason why he was here but he lost sight of that after being around Ashley. He needed to make it right but didn’t know how now. Brittany wouldn’t listen to him, he messed up and now he doesn’t even know what to do. All of a sudden, he heard a scream. He knew that scream and run inside. It was dark, he couldn’t see a thing. Now he understood why she called her in here, it was going to be dark and no one would have thought about showing up to see if she was okay. He had to think of a way to save her but didn’t know how. Where were they? He heard another scream and knew that planning wasn’t going to happen, he had follow the scream the best he could. Lucky if he gets there in time to save her.

He ran through the building, trying to find where the scream came from. He was about to one it when he step on something. He looked down and saw; a bow, shoes, and someone else clothing. He started to panic, he started to run again. He run the direction the stuff was leading. He felt like he was running for a year at least. He finally saw a light, he run toward it and then heard the scream again. He knew that he found where they were. He was afraid to look inside, he didn’t want to see if he was too late. He bent down anyway and look inside from the keyhole. Ashley had tied Brittany to wall so she couldn’t get away. “Let’s have a little talk, shall we.” All Brittany could do was scowl at her like, are you seriously asking someone that, when you tied her up and made it to where she can’t even response. Yes, nice going. Let’s see what you want. “Seeing you can respond...I will do all the
