I Swear I'm Not Crazy

6| Go Park Near The Dump

NIA

I unlocked the front door revealing nobody.

Yay.

Do I have the house all to myself, did everyone get abducted by aliens? Either way, I still have the house to m-

"You're home."

I looked to my right and groaned, "And your here? What do you do all day instead of getting more botox and lip fillers?" I questioned.

"Your face is getting stiffer and stiffer by the day..." I mutter.

"I've been trying to be nice to you, I swear to God I will send you back to your mother's." She groaned.

"Really?!" I beamed. She rolled her eyes, "Hubby dearest, wanted me to take you shopping." She explained.

"If he thinks he can just buy his way into my heart," I paused. "He's right!" I exclaimed making my way to the door. "Are you coming or is your diaper booty slowing you down?"

I saw her lips twitch, she either wants to strangle me or she's breaking out. She took a deep breath and put a fake smile on.

"I'm coming."

"So how exactly did you possibly steal my dad away from my mom?" I questioned, "I mean he sure downgraded from a million to a five." I said with a mischievous smirk.

Her grip got tighter on the steering wheel, I was pushing all types of buttons. "Do you always squeeze your way into family's and squash them?"

She stopped the car in front of the mall, "Get out." She snapped.

"Excuse me?"

"Get out!!" She demanded sounding like a dying horse.

She threw Greg's black card at me, sweet. "You can call Matteo to come to pick you up, I'm done." She said with venom in her voice.

I opened the door with a smile on my face, I win.

"And no to answer your question, they come to me they SQUASH there own family's." She spat.

I closed the door and she drove off cutting off a car in the process.

I clenched my jaw, I'm going to murder her. I turned around and faced the crowded mall.

I remember now that I hate shopping.

But I know who does love it.

I took my phone out of my back pocket and quickly went into contacts. I was about to click on Shays number to FaceTime her.

I mentally slapped myself, I scrolled passed hers and clicked on my mom's number.

I waited for her to pick up and, Waited, then finally.

The number you're trying to reach is not available.

I sighed and opened messages,

I know we departed on the wrong foot, I'm sorry... I just didn't wanna leave you all alone in that environment. I miss you, like, a lot! If you have a chance please call me... or text me back.

I sighed and turn off my phone stuffing it in my back pocket.

I guess it's time to shop, alone.

Three hours later I had successfully gone into every store and bought pretty much everything for me and a little something for my mom.

I kind of felt just a tiny bit guilty because I spent so much of Greg's money on clothes and food.

Oh well, he had to expect me to go a little crazy. I mean I'm a teenage girl, of course, I'm going to but the first thing that has my attention and, since I can afford it.

I went loco.

I called Matteo to pick me up and was waiting in front of the mall.

I felt someone watching me, I turned around to see a man just staring at me, what the hell is up with him?

Hearing a car horn I looked and saw Greg sitting there with an annoyed expression on his face. When I got in the car I looked one more time he was still staring. I rolled down the window, "TAKE A PICTURE IT WILL LAST LONGER!" I shouted and rolled up the window.

Trying to ignore the weird guy I looked over at Greg. "Why did you make Veronica mad?" He questioned. "I don't know. Why did you cheat on mom and leave me for fourteen years?"

I cross my legs and put a smile on my face, "I win." I say in a high-pitched voice.

"Why did you get into a fight at school adding more stress onto your mother's life?" He questioned.

I glared at him, "I win." He scoffed.

"EWW!!"

"I take after you!" I say in disgust.

He started to laugh.

The ride back home (Ew I can't believe I just called it that.) It was full of us chatting and him wanting to know why I had gotten in a fight at my old school.

"So you're telling me that you broke a girls nose and managed to get expelled." He asked while trying to hold back a laugh.

Now that I look back at the memory it was pretty funny. "You should have seen her face. I beat that b- chick up." I replied coolly.

Even though he walked out on my mom and I, I can see he is really trying to make up for his mistakes and I think I'll try and play nice.

Except for that b***h ass hoe, he married I'll never like that b*tch that's for darn sure.

Yesterday went by too fast. Now I have to get up and go to hell again!

Blasting Chase Atlantic, I went to brush my teeth, do my hair and, take a shower.

About thirty minutes later I stood facing the mirror taking in my appearance. My hair was loose and wild. My uniform was still plain and boring.

I looked down at my new and approved white Nike shoes.

As I was sitting on the counter watching Matteo cook breakfast, I watched as his muscle flexed when he moved.

I sighed out of admiration. Greg came in dressed in a suit and tie. "I have a meeting I have to  hurry and get to, is my coffee ready?"

"Yes boss, can you pass him that cup over there Nia?"

"Sure."

I jump off the counter and grab the plastic to go cup and hand it to Greg.

"Don't drink it yet its, still piping hot." I say he grabs the cup and opens his arms for a hug, "No." I blatantly say.

He sighs, "It was worth a try."

"Bye!" he says and walks out the house, "Matteo where's my coffee?" I heard Veronica say behind me.

"It's right here." I said handing her her black coffee. "It's black just like those bags under your eyes, you can drink it now its room temperature." I say with a smile and start grabbing my book bag.

She rolls her eyes and starts to take a sip, "Ah!" She yells.

"My tongue!!" She screeches. "Bye, everyone. Don't miss me too much." I say.

"You don't need me to drive you?"

"No my friend is picking me up."

"Oh wow, you made friends?" Veronica scoffs.

I ignored her comment making my way out the house, holding a piece of bacon in my hand.

"Hello, Rosie!" I say as I get inside her car. "Hi, Nia."

"I like your shoes." She says. I start to dingle my feet, "Thanks."

She pulled up at our school and parked far from the entrance, "UM!" I say and turn around looking behind us at the empty spots near the entrance.

I turned around to face Rose, "Why you parking so far?" I questioned. "There are empty spots in the front."

"I know but, there reserved."

"What?"

I spotted exotic cars parked in the front of the school and coming in the front gate I also saw the two idiots, Stacey and, Patrica get out there cars.

"Oh my God, yeah... no!"

"There's one thing little Ni Ni, don't do is walk far for no apparent reason and, let some kids walk over her like a doormat." I say and sit on top of Roses lap she squealed, "W-What are you doing?!" She blurted out, "Saving us both from an pleasant walk and smell, near the dumpster, really?"

I put the car in reverse and drove to the first empty spot I saw. I opened her car door and jumped out, "There we go." I exclaimed.

She slowly got out the car, I looked around kids were starring and pointing.

I heard someone beep their horn, I looked to the front of the car to see Liam peaking his head out his window. "You're in my spot!" He groaned.

"Oh!" I say and start walking towards the school entrance.

He moves his car in front of I and Rose, "You're in my way." I say. "Well, you're in my spot." He replies.

I place my hand on my hips and he steps out his car, "If you may or may not have noticed, people like me park here."

He comes close to my face looking to the right he forcefully makes me look his way, "You park in the back near the dumpster." He says pointing near the dump.

I swat his hands off of me, "I thought I mentioned this earlier but, I'll tell you again." I paused, "I DON'T GIVE A f**k!" I yelled, loud enough so that everyone could hear me not caring. "Is your IQ that low that you don't know what that means?" I cooed, "Do you need me to spell it out for you?"

"Oof." I hear one of his friends say behind him.

Rose started to tug on my skirt, "Nia." She shyly whispered, "I'll just move the car... I'll go park in my regular spot." Rose whispered loud enough so that I could hear.

She started to walk and I grabbed onto her hand, "No!"

"I'm not giving this jerk what he wants."

"Oh I'm a jerk now, you're the one parking in my spot."

"Yeah well, who says it's your spot?!"

"Me!!" He yells out of annoyance. "Well, now I say it's my spot, MINE!"

"First come first serve!" I say and stick my tongue out.

I lock arms with Rose, "Bye, bye." I cooed, leaving all of his pushed buttons still pushed.

"Babe you just going to let her talk to you like that, that low life rodent deserves a lesson!" I heard Stacey say.

He ignored her and got back in his car and drove off to find another spot.

Near the dumpster.
