As Ava pulled into her Aunt’s drive
she saw Jay’s orange Civic. “Oh god no, like this day hasn’t
sucked enough!” Ava muttered to herself.
She jumped from her car and ran in the house.
Maggie and Jay were sitting at the kitchen
table. They both looked up at her surprised by her sudden entrance. “Hey sweetie,” Maggie said with a smile.
“Hey, where’s Seth,” Ava asked nervously.
“He’s
in his room laying down Ava. Don’t worry everything is fine,” Maggie answered.
“So
when do I get to meet this Seth dude?” Jay asked.
“Jay what the hell are you doing here?” Ava asked ignoring his question.
“I
heard about Alex’s little performance today,” he said as an explanation
while looking at his hands.
“It wasn’t a big deal but that
still doesn’t tell me why you’re here,” Ava snapped at him. He was the reason she already had an enemy, so he didn’t feel sorry for him
and his little sad look.
“I’m sorry she hit you okay!” He snapped back. This girl was really
trying his patience. Not that it took much.
“She didn’t hit me Jay, she just
pushed me. It was nothing.”
“Who hit you?” Her aunt broke in worried.
“No one hit me she just pushed me. I didn’t fall down or anything she just shoved me,” Ava said. She was beginning to get tired of answering the
same question and was starting to get attitude.
“Jay you’re the reason I got pushed
in the first place, you need to go.”
“I said I’m sorry,” he said
trying not to get mad.
“I know you did it’s fine you
just need to go.” Ava said. She
turned and started up the stairs to see Seth.
She could hear Maggie telling Jay to go.
Good, she thought, now she won’t let him in anymore. So now I don’t have to worry about seeing
him.
Jay got behind the wheel of his can and slammed
the door. Why do I even try? He said to himself. Nice girls just don’t get me. I should have learned my lesson with
Emma. I thought she was different
but she’s just like the rest of them. Well maybe Alex will want to see
me tonight.
Ava heard his car racing down the driveway. “Why do I always get mixed up with the wrong guys?
“Any guy could turn into the wrong guy
Ava. No matter how perfect he seems in the beginning,” Maggie said with
a sad look in her eyes.
