Chapter 5
I tried to wipe my tears away quickly. It hurt so bad to see Sal making out with another girl. I liked him so much and it hurt to see this. I don't understand why he would do this! I put the car in park and opened the door quickly and rushed out the car, I was still crying and I tryed to hurry up inside when I felt a hand grab my shoulder and gently turned me around. "Are you ok?" Sal had worry all over his eyes.
"No." I blubbered.
"Why, what's wrong?" Sal asked me and before I could answer the girl Sal was making out with came up behind him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Nothing, I have to go." I could feel even more tears welling up in my eyes. This was just too painful for me. I ran inside the school and didn't even turn around. I could feel his eyes burning in my back though. I couldn't breath right. My blood was boiling inside my fragile veins. As I ran into the school, I bumped into some kid. He was about my height, dark brown skater hair, and so cute. "I am so sorry." I apologized. I even forgot what I was crying about. When I looked at this kid, my heart skipped a beat. He was gorgeous.
"It's cool." He voice was so luring.
"How come I have never seen you before?" I asked still shocked.
"Well I am new here, I just transferred here from New York. Florida is pretty nice so far." He said.
"Oh that's cool, I'm Brittany by the way." I introduced myself.
"Vince." He held out his hand and I grabbed it, his grip was strong, but gentle.
"Cool, so where are you heading now?" I asked.
"Biology." He made a face.
I laughed. "So am I. Who's your teacher?"
"Polk." He said.
"Oh, we have the same class." I said excited.
"Awesome, well let's go to class now." He said with a big smile spreading across his perfect face.
"Ok." We were walking to class, when I bumped into Sal.
"Hey brittany." Sal said.
"Oh hi. What's up?" I completely forgot that he was kissing another girl before.
"Why were you crying earlier?" He asked with worry.
"Um I don' remember, but this is Vince by the way." I said gesturing my hand toward Vince.
"Nice to meet you." Sal took Vinces hand and shook it.
"Likewise." Vince's musical voice filled my ears.
"Well, Sal we have to go to class. I will talk to you later. Ok?" I said.
"Um, ok bye?" He kind of asked. Usually Sal walked me to my biology class, but not today because I was walking with Vince. When Vince and I walked into biology every girl in the room (and a even a few guys) turned their heads instantly. They were pretty much drooling all over the place. I walked in and took my seat and Vince sat right next to me. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. He was definitely a skater guy. He wore the converse, and his hair was a little bit long and it curled up at the bottom. He was so hot! He looked over at me and smiled. I smiled back instantly. The period went by pretty fast. All we did was listen to the teacher and he drained our brains out with his words. The bell rang and I headed out the door with Vince and I saw Sal waiting for me and I just walked past him and didn't even look at him. He came running up behind me really fast and grabbed me by my waist and spun me around.
"Brittany, why are you ignoring me?" He asked me.
"Who is that girl you were kissing earlier?" I asked completely ignoring his question.
"Oh." He looked embarrassed. "She is somebody I have been talking to for a while, we are kind of going out now." He said looking a slight bit humiliated.
"Oh that's cool, have fun." I said quickly and turned back around and continued walking with Vince. Sal didn't follow me this time because he knew I was upset. I now know why he said to my parents we were just friends. He has a girlfriend. Well she is lucky. "So, Vince, what are you doing after school today?" I asked.
"Um, nothing really, why do you ask?"
"Do you wanna go out and shoot some hoops after school? Maybe we could get to know each other and become good friends?" I was surprised that I was being so bold right now.
"Yea definitely." He said smiling.
"Ok, well I will see you after school then, just meet me at lunch before school ends."
"Ok I will."
I was at lunch waiting for Vince, when Sal came up behind me with his new girlfriend. She was kind of pretty. She had long blonde hair and she was a little chubby, but she had a pretty face. "This is Maddie." Sal introduced his girlfriend.
"Nice to meet you Maddie, I'm Brittany." I tried to say nicely.
"Nice to meet you too." She said.
"Well I got to go meet up with Vince." I said.
"Um ok, well I guess I will talk to you later." Sal said with hopeful eyes.
"Yea sure whatever, bye." I quickly spoke the words and then I ran over to where Vince was standing, I looked back at Maddie and Sal, but they were gone. Oh well.
"Hey." Vince smiled at me.
"Hey, are you ready?" I asked him.
"Yes ma'am." He replied.
"Ok let's go." I said. We walked out to my car and we got in. I drove for about 5 minutes and we pulled up to the park. There were basketball courts everywhere and tennis courts and about 5 fields there. It was pretty big. We got out of the car and walked over to the basketball courts. There were 3 guys playing hoops and we went over to the other side of the court and started shooting some baskets. "So why did you move to Florida?" I asked him.
"My parents got a divorce and my mom wanted to go to Florida because it is warmer down here and so I went with her because my dad is a jerk." He started saying. "My dad was always yelling at me and my mom for no reason and he was a heavy drinker, so my mom got sick of it and left him." He kept shooting baskets while talking.
"Oh, I'm sorry." I didn't know what else to say.
"Don't be, I'm glad we left him." He said.
"Oh."
"So tell me about yourself, like what do you like to do, you know, the basics" He said.
"Well, I was born in Tampa, Florida and then we moved here to Clearwater. I am the only child and I am pretty spoiled, well by my dad. Um my life is actually pretty boring." I was kind of sad because nothing interesting happened in my life.
"I'm sure it's not." Vince tried cheering me up.
"Well."
"What do you like to do?" He asked me.
"Let's see, I like cheerleading, soccer, writing poems and stories, umm meeting new people, and I don't know." I laughed. "What about yourself?"
"I like to go outside and run. I love to run." Vince said. "It takes my mind off of things, it's relaxing to me." He said.
"Yea, I like cheering, it takes my mind off of things."
"I also like hanging around new people, especially pretty girls." He smiled and looked at me and I blushed. Vince was pretty cool, and I totally forgot about Sal and his girlfriend until now. It still made me depressed to even think about Sal with another girl. It was heartbreaking, but Vince cheered me up. I know I just met him today, but he seems really cool and sweet and amazingly gorgeous. As Vince and I were shooting hoops and laughing and then Vince left to go to the bathroom.Then the three guys from across the court came up to me and then started to harass me.
"Hey sexy, how you doing?" One guy, with blonde hair and a big smile said to me. He was tall and built.
"Yea, you are looking mighty fine today." Another guy with black hair said to me.
"Um if you don't mind I am trying to play basketball." I said sternly.
"Oh well then I guess I-" He was cut off by another voice and it wasn't Vince's.
"You have two seconds to leave or I am going to rip your head off." It was Sal. He was standing right behind the blonde guy.
"What are you going to do?" The black haired guy asked sarcastically. Then Sal did something I never though he would do. I couldn't believe my eyes!
