Chapter 10

Curled up in the chair across form Donna who slumped on the couch and Jackie on the floor leaning over the coffee table. We sat in Donna’s living room doing homework. Fez and Eric came in and climbed over the couch to sit. “Is it Friday yet?” Fez whined,”I have an english essay due tomorrow.”

“It’s only Tuesday, Fez” Donna told him.

“Can we take a break? All of this studying is bad for my complexion.” Jackie shoved her books across the table.

“The police came to my door last night. What did you guys do?” I asked looking up from my science notes. They all break out snickering before Eric explained to me why.

“We painted a pot leaf on the water tower last night. I’m sorry we didn't invite you-”

“I’m not any more.” I spoke over Eric, “What did I miss?”

Jackie sighed dramatically “My beloved Micheal fell off the water tower.” I snorted. She snapped her glossy gaze over at me. Biting my lip to hold back anymore.

“Painting the pot leaf on the tower was not only Hyde’s plan, but his dream as well. ” Fez started of telling their half of the story about last night,” Micheal was trying to fix the leaf by climbing on the rail of the tower, he slipped and fell. After we took Kelso to the hospital, Hyde left to fix the leaf himself. we haven’t seen him after that.”

Eric put his arm around Donna. Fez sat back and Jackie rolled her eyes. I checked out my blood red converse. “The police were chasing him” I said softly.

“Good. After what happen to my sweetheart, I hope they caught him.” Jackie crossed her arms.
Giving her a nasty stare, I carried on “Hyde climbed through my bedroom and I covered for him until they were gone.”

“Really? You risked your freedom for him! What is wrong with you?” She snapped at me. Donna turned to Jackie and hissed “Jackie, Chill.”

Sanding up, I fixed my acid washed shorts and my ripped Queen tank. “He may have been a dick to me, but he is my friend and I always look out for my friends. Plus me and Hyde hung out last night. It was odd…because we didn’t go at each others throats. In the end we made out at the water tower.”

Everyone in the room stared at me speechless. Jackie shifted around, Fez went back to writing his essay, Donna started to chew on her hair, and Eric face palmed. Thunk! “Really Johnson, You couldn’t keep your mouth shut for twelve hours and have to be such a girl and gossip to your pals.” Steven spoken in a pissed tone. He stood in the doorway, with his bag on the ground. His comment slapped me in the face. The magic of last night gradually drained out of me. Things between us could never me simple. At lest our lives are back on track, he can go back to being a prick and I’ll just sit here with a target on my back.

“I’m Sorry, next time I’ll just make sure my window is locked.” I plucked my books up from the ground and shoved them into my bag. Eric sat up, “If it helps, Hyde had a goofy smile all day at school. It was kinda obvious you made out with someone.”

Hyde kicked his book bag across the room. “I was smiling because I didn’t get caught last night. The kiss meant nothing.”

And like that he drove a knife in my heart.

“Well, just remember I didn't rat you out, but next time I will.” I said before I stormed out. I was half way across the yard when Hyde ran out. “Toni, wait.” He called out to me. I kept walking, ignoring his cry for my attention. I thought thing would at least change. I didn’t expect him to make me his girl, but at least show some kindness. The kiss was nice and if it never happened again then fine.

“Antonia!” Steven grabbed my wrist stopping me in the middle of the street. I turned to face him.

“What?”

“Your science note, you said I can borrow them.”

“wha…fine, just don’t get shit on them. I need to be able to read them.”

I took them out my notepad and shoved it at him. Then walked away. He followed me once again. Stepping up to the door I put the key in to the lock. Hyde’s hand stopped me. His body pressed up against me. “Toni” his voice seductively whispered in my ear. Gently he kissed my cheek. The world seemed to stop. I could him feel holding me from behind. He was just an asshole to me not long ago.I opened my mouth to speak my mind, unfortunately my voice failed me. Fighting the urge to kiss him, I shook him off. “I’m not your fuck buddy” I snapped, “And you can’t just say the kiss meant nothing to you then come over here and try to hump me on my parents doorstep. If we are going to start something then I need to know what is going on and I need some respected.”

“You mean like boyfriend/girlfriend? Because I’m not looking for a relationship.” he told me.

“I don’t care, but if you’re going to try to fuck me or make out with me then you need to at least be nice to me and not be such an asshole.” I faced him. Hyde blankly gawked at me. At firstI thought he would say something, after two minutes I gave up waiting. “Whatever” I went inside. Before I closed the door Hyde stopped me. “Friends with benefits, just don’t tell the guys.”

“I wont.” I replied. Steven nodded then left.

I sat in the back of study hall. Scanning the room of teenagers goofing off and throwing paper airplanes. Jackie sat in the seat next to me. She shuffled through her things and pulled out my notebook with doodles on the cover. Tossing it on my desk a note flew out. I picked it up and hid it in my bra.

“What was that?” She looked over her shoulder.

“What?”

“The note”

“You mean paper airplane”

“You mean childish.” She shook her head and went back to reading a seventeen magazine. I took the note out and read it. In Hyde’s writing:

‘You can be my dirty little secret’

My cheeks flashed cherry red. My heart even skipped a beat. No strings, no problems and no one will ever know.
