It was almost 12pm. class just finished and I was on my way heading to the cafeteria. Suddenly, someone closed my eyes and lifted me up by holding my waist and carried me into the doors of the cafeteria.
"Hey! Let me go!" I shouted. Everybody stared at me.
He laughed. I knew that laugh it's.... "Relax Dee. It's me."
BraD. As usual, he comes around, sneaks up behind my back and scares me to death. But I always end up laughing and forgiving him for doing that to me anyway.
"God BraD! Stop scaring me half to death!" I said as he put me down on my feet.
"Sorry." He said, with his puppy dog face. Sigh, couldn't resist it, as always.
I sighed and adjusted the strap of my bag and faced BraD, who was still looking at me with his puppy dog face. "It's alright." Then I smiled.
"Thanks." He grinned. As I turned around and headed my way to the table where me and my friends always sit at, BraD took my hand and kept a hold of it. My heart thumped.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Holding your hand." He said confidently.
"Um. Why?"
He shrugged and smiled. Then turned around and walked towards our table, looking proud. A blush crept over my cheeks. I looked at everyone around me, and they stared. Especially the girls.
"Ahem!" I jumped then turned around facing Zeela and River holding their trays of food.
"Uh. Hey guys?"
"Hey girls." BraD said.
"Hey." They both replied and grinned then made their way to the table.
I sat down next to Jacy and BraD sat in front of me. I covered my face with my hair.
"What's up Dee?" Jacy asked.
"Nothing." I replied immediately.
"Aren't you gonna eat something?"
"Right. Uh, nah. I don't feel hungry."
"But you always eat."
"Not today Jace." I opened my history book and took out my note pad and a pen.
"O-kay then."
"Hey Jace. You mind? I wanna sit next to Dee." BraD said. I suddenly looked up to him and faced him and turned around to look at everyone. What is this boy playing at?
Jacy turned to look at me and smiled, as if she knew why I've been acting weird lately. Which, of course she does. I mean, everyone does. Wait, is it that obvious? Oh great. "Sure." Jacy stood up and so did BraD.
"What are you playing at?" I said under my breath when BraD sat on Jacy's seat.
"Nothing. Can't a guy just sit next to a girl he likes?" Wait what, he likes me? Whoa.
I was speachless. BraD smiled. Why does he have to be so cute?
"You sure you don't wanna eat?" He asked.
"Mmmm not that hungry."
"How about, you and I get out of here and get to town and eat?" He asked.
My face lit up. "W-what? But there's like plenty of food here. Why would you wanna bring me to town just to eat?"
"Cause you don't wanna eat here."
"Well...." I looked around and everybody gave me the "Just say yes will you Dee!" look. "Okay."
"Let's go." BraD grabbed my hand and I didn't even had the chance to say goodbye to the others.
We walked out to the parking lot and on the way to a car. A Nissan 350z, so I'm guessing this is BraD's. "This is your car?" I asked.
He laughed. "Yeah." Then stepped inside and turned the engine on. The car roared.
I stood still, as if I did not know what to do. Get inside Dee. Get inside the freaking car!
"You coming or what?"
"Yeah."
"Well c'mon." I swallowed a huge gulp and opened the car's door and sat inside.
"So where are we going?"
"D'you like waffles?"
"I guess."
"Then let's get you waffles then." He smiled.
I laughed. "Alright then."

We decided to just eat at the town's skate park and sit on a bench. While eating waffles. Wow, a classic.
"So..." I said.
BraD turned around to face me. "So....?"
"About what you said at the caf just now,"
He stared into the skies, and tried to remember what he said and looked back at me. "Oh. What about it?"
"D'you mean it?"
"How about you?"
"I don't know."
"Well, yeah. I do like you."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
I smiled. "Okay."
"Dia?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I do something?"
"What is it?"
"This." Then he leaned in and grabbed my face and kissed me.
x.

I kept repeating of what BraD said yesterday when I was alone with him.

The boys and girls had lunch together at a restaurant just down town for a small celebration to welcome Dia back to St. Mary's.
"So Dee," Zeela whispered "Met BraD already, ey?" She wiggled her eyebrows.
Dia laughed, "Yeah I did. And, what's the thing? He's just someone I met." She smiled.
"I think he likes you!" Jacy interupted. And everyone looked at her. She blushed. Dia and Zeela laughed. "Chyeah right. I just got here. Okay? Besides, he doesn't even know me." Dia said, while looking through the menu.
"That's what you think. Phoenix told us he told BraD stuff about you. Wayheyhey!" Zeela said.
Dia's eyes went wide and dropped her mouth, "Even the the thing about me doing, you know what?"
Jacy and Zeela noded. "But! Don't go all panicky yet! BraD doesn't mind. He thinks it's cool that you went to rehab to get your act all cleaned up." Jacy said.
"Um. And you guys are sure about that?" Dia asked, then she glanced to her right side, where the boys were sitting and looked at BraD. She blushed.
"Positive. He said it himself in front of us. It's no big deal Dee." Zeela said when Dia turned around to face Jacy and Zeela.
"I hope not." Dia replied. "Alright, you guys ready to order?" She asked her friends.
"Yeap! I'm starving!" River said. "I'll have the fish and chips and a chocolate milkshake please." River told the waitress.
"I'll have the fetucinni carbonara and a glass of coke thanks." Zeela said.
"D'you guys have frozen pizza here?" Jacy asked the waitress. Then everyone looked at Jacy. "What? Okay fine. Can I just have a slice of Pepperoni pizza thanks."
"Um. I'll just have the," Dia's eyes trailed off when she glanced to the boy's table and saw BraD smiled and laughed. She smiled.
"Dia?" Zeela snapped her fingers. "Dia! Wake up from dream land woman!"
Dia shook her head, "Uh. Whah? Oh right. I'll just have a glass of Coke and some french fries. Thanks."
"French fries Dee? Can that make you full?" River asked.
"I don't think I'm gonna finish a plate of frenc fries anyway." Dia replied.
"What were you staring at?" Jacy eyed Dia.
"Nothing! Uh, I thought I saw something across the room that's all."
"Right~" Zeela said. Dia laughed.
"Whatever guys." Just then, the door opened, and walked in a couple. Dia found them familiar. It was Kris and Phoenix. Holding hands. And laughing. Dia turned back to River, who was not looking at them, but just staring at her shoes. Dia got up at greeted Kris and Phoenix and congratulated them and sat next to River and put her arms around River's shoulder.
"You okay Riv?"
"I will be." River said with an insincere smile. Dia hugged River and knows she'll feel better soon.
Just then, Daryen, River's new boyfriend entered the restaurant and surprised River. River jumped and hugged him. Just then, Kris sat next to Zeela and Jacy.
"I'm gonna go outside and get some fresh air yeah guys?" Dia said.
"Alright."
Dia walked outside and breathed in the hot summer air and felt safe.
"Tasted the smell of freedom already huh?" Someone said from the back.
Dia turned around and saw that it was BraD. Walking towards her, hands in his pocket.
"Well, it's been a whole 4 months." Dia replied with a smile and turned around.
BraD stood next to her. And eyed her with a smile. Dia turned around to face him.
Dia blushed. "What?"
"Nothing." BraD replied. "You just look beautiful to me that's all."
Dia's face turned more red. "Why, thanks." Then the both of them stared into the sun. Together.

x.
p/s. mushy right? hahaha i knw! ew. :p

Jacy and the others told the principal that Dia had a problem at home.

Oh crap. What the hell? They've been sneaking around my stuff?! This is not good. Crap. Crap. Crap. "Uh. What are you guys doing with my stuff?!"
"The real question is, what are you doing with these drugs?!" Jacy yelled at me and pointed down on the floor, where the drugs messed up the floor.
"Uh. Well, it's none of your business!" I said.
"It is, Dia! Your our dorm mate! Your doing drugs! Your, your. Oh whatever! But it is our business, alright!" Jacy shouted. She picked up my bag which was on the floor and gripped it tight and suddenly, a piece of paper fell on the floor. Zeela picked it up. Her eyes reading each and every word from the card. Suddenly her eyes, opened wide and her mouth opened in a perfect shape of an "O".
"Zeels, you okay? What the eff's that?" Kris asked Zeela. Gulp.
Zeela didn't say anything, but she handed the piece of paper to Kris. She had the same reaction as Zeela did.
"What the eff?" Jacy said. She walked up towards Kris and took the paper, and after a few seconds, she glared at me. Oh, crap.
"This is even worser, than taking drugs, Dia." She said through her teeth.
"Uh. I-"
"So your the one supplying drugs to the sophmores."
"Well, yeah but-"
"No. Buts. Adia."
silence.
"How long have you been supplying these drugs?" She asked.
"Um. Well, about uh. A month ago?"
Zeela, River, Jacy and Kris gave me an annoyed face. "I think you need help. I think I know why your doing this, Dee."
"What?"
"Your dad's been dealing with drugs too, right?"
silence.
"Well?" Jacy asked.
"Yeah." I finally said.
Jacy looked at the others, I couldn't make up what their saying. A few seconds later, the others nodded towards Jacy.
"You need to stop this Dee." Jacy said.
"Um."
"You could get caught, who knows what the school's gonna do to you. Throw you out, get you suspended, give you in to the police, or worse."
"Okay. Okay, I'll stop." I finally said.
"Just like that?" Zeela asked.
"Yeah. Just like that." I tried to smile.
"Hmkay." Jacy took my bag and took the small packets of drugs and threw it in the bin. My eyes opened wide.
"There. You can't stop when you have those, can't you?" Jacy smiled.
"Uh. Yeah. Right. Pff."
"Alright. Now all of that's settled, let's go to bed." Zeela said, while stretching her arms.
"Yeah. I'm bummed out. Good night guys." Kris said.
All of them headed their way back to their beds. "You guys go ahead first. I wanna drink." I said.
I quieltly went in to the kitchen, and flipped open my phone and checked if I still had John's number. And I did. I flipped it close, and headed off. Smiling.

hey, it's not that easy for a drug dealer to just, stop right? ;)
x.

When I arrived in my dorm room, my stuff was already unpacked and organized. What. The. Hell?
"Hello." A voice said behind me.
I turned around and faced a girl; skinny, tall, light-brown hair, blue and green eyes. she looked like a model. "Um, hello."
"Adia right?" She asked with a smile. My heart beated fast.
"Um yeah. And you are?"
"Zeela. Zeela Amelia Crawford." She smiled.
"Dia. Adia Waila Beckett. It's nice to meet you." I offered her my hand.
She took my hand and we shook hands. "It's nice to meet you too." She said with a big grin.
I blushed scarlett. "Um. Who unpacked my stuff? It's like, organized." I stared off into the room.
"Oh. I did" She paused. "Sorry if I did. I just wanted to meet you and all, instead of you unpacking your stuff. Which wastes alot of time. Sorry." She said, embarassed.
"Oh." I laughed. "It's okay. I was just gonna say thanks. You did it by yourself?"
"My sister, Jacy, helped me."
"Oh, I'd like to meet her."
"You will! She's in campus having lunch with my other friends. Wanna come with? I'm sure they'll love you!" She said exitedly.
"Well," I paused for awhile, I looked at how exited she looked, "Sure. I mean, why not? At least I'll have friends on my first day here." I smiled.
"Awesome! I'm sure they'll love you to bits! Just like me! Even though I just met you and all, but I know we're gonna work out really well." She grinned. I smiled back.
"C'mon, put your heavy bags down and come with me."
I put my hand bag down on the floor, took my cellphone and wallet with me and went out of the dorm.
On the way to campus, Zeela showed me where the classes are, and coincidentally, I have 5 classes with her. Which was great, since I can see a friendly and familiar face the whole time. She showed me where the principal's office was, the cafeteria(sp?) "We don't really eat inside there. We don't like it when people keep on looking at us when we eat, it's just....... weird. If you get what I mean." She told me.
"Oh. Howcome?" I asked.
"I'm not actually sure." She replied.
What I noticed was, on the way to campus, it's like people kept on staring at us, well, Zeela actually. And some of them even waved and said Hi to her. Then it hit me, like a blot of lightning. Is Zeela a popular girl here? I asked myself. Well, we'll just have to wait and see.
I arrived in campus and saw a bunch of girls and guys hanging out, laughing. Most of them looked like models and were stunningly beautiful. The guys, on the other hand, looked like professional football players, jocks and all those who were into sports.
"ZEELA!" A girl, brunette, skinny and tall. She looked alot like Zeela, so I'm guessing this was Jacy.
"JACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Zeela screamed back at her. Okay, so it was Jacy. Wiat, okay twins? Whoa.
They hugged. I just slowly walked towards them.
Jacy looked at me from bottom to top. I blushed and smiled. "Hey. Who's this?" Jacy asked Zeela.
"Oh. This is our new room mate. Adia, meet Jacy. My sister, the one I told you about in our dorm." She said.
"Hi. Adia sounds, kinda geeky to me. Just call me Dia. It's nice to meet you Jacy." I offered Jacy my hand.
The second thing I knew, we were shaking hands. "It's nice to meet you. Welcome to St. Mary's. I'm sure you'll love it here. Us people here, yeah, gotta admit, we're nice." She smiled.
"I'm sure I'll love it here. I have the feeling it's gonna be better than how my life was in New York."
"We'll make sure of that." Jacy said and Zeela smiled.
"C'mon let's introduce you to our friends." Jacy said.
"Sure. I'd love to."
Zeela laughed.
"Dia, meet Macy, popular girl in school and also our sister. She goes to Brookston High Boarding School no far from here. She's just visiting us here." She pointed me to a blonde headed girl. She looked like a doll. And a part of her face definately had Jacy and Zeela in it.
"Hello." I said.
She smiled. "Hi there."
Then, she introduced me to a two girls; another pair of twins? crazy. "This is Rivereira and Camille. Their sisters."
"Hello Dia!" both of them said.
"Hi Rivereira and Camille."
"Aw, shucks. Please, call me River." She smiled.
I laughed. "Hi River."
"Much better." She winked.
Then, she introduced me to the guys, I remember their names completely; Grant, Troyal, Phoenix (who was dating River), Duke. And a guy named BraD. But I didn't see him there since Jacy and Zeela said he was overseas, or something. And will be back in a few months or so. They've been nothing but nice to me, which was great.

That night, I was alone. Jacy and Zeela had some kind of function to attend to. And the others had some meeting or whatever. I was walking my way back to the dorm when I remebered something. The card. The card I took from my dad's wallet the night before I moved in St. Mary's.

Flashback: "John. 4 more. call me at 001898377 if you need anymore."

I took the card out. What does, 'If you need anymore' mean? I took out my cell, dialled the number.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. "Hello?"
Ow shit. "Um, hello?"
"Yes, hello. Who is this?"
My dad does drugs. My dad drinks. He's a drug dealer. He's an alcoholic. I know what this number is for. This guy, John, or who ever her is, is supplying drugs to my dad. I'm sure of it. "Um. John, is it?" I asked.
"Yes John. And you are?"
"Wait, I just wanna ask first, do you know a man named William Beckett?"
"Yes I do. Who is this?" He asked again.
"I'm Dia Beckett."
silence.
"You supply him drugs right? To Will?" I asked.
"Y-yes." He didn't sound confident when he said that. More like, scared or something.
"Well, I want $50,000 worth of drugs." I said confidently. My dad does drugs, so why can't I?
John, on the other line, let out a huge laugh. "And who's money are you gonna use to pay those drugs sweetie? Your dad's?" He laughed again.
"Ha ha. Funny huh?" I said sarcasticly. "Look son of a bitch. Listen carefuly and listen well. If I said I want the drugs, I'm getting alright? And I'll pay you back. Is that so hard? Unless, you want me to call the police and let them drag your ass and rot in jail for the rest of your life."
silence.
"Well?" I asked. Sounding desperate.
"Uh. Alright. I'll get them for you." He finally said.
"Good. Oh, and by the way, don't mention this to anyone. alright? Cause if you do, I'll make your sorry ass regret it for the rest of your fucking sorry ass life." I smiled to myself.
"Okay."
"I want them as soon as possible."
"I heard you moved down to Texas?"
"Yeah. So? What, you lazy? Get one of your boys to send them down for you, duh."
"No. No. I'll send 'em down to you myself."
"Good. I go to St. Mary's Boarding School in Calabasas."
"I'll call you when I get there as soon as possible." He repeated what I said.
"Good. Don't you forget."
"Y-yes, m-ma'am."
Then I hung up. I breathed in the cool air and headed my way back into the night.

will post another one soon, x.
