Amethyst POV
My mom had held me while I cried, ranting to her about my problems and these intense feelings that I for this boy that I’d only known for a few days. I told her about the date and how it was a dream come true and about Jessica who didn’t seem like she was kidding around when she basically told me she would kill me if I didn’t leave Morpheus alone.
I knew that my best option was to just tell Morpheus and have him deal with it, but it seemed that Jessica knew where my mind was going. Later that night she texted my phone warning me that if I dared tell Morpheus anything about our little talk, she wouldn’t only hurt me but Alexis and Roman as well. Those two goofballs were some of the most important people in the world to me and I didn’t want to take that chance.
I lay awake with my covers still up to my neck, staring up at my ceiling that I’d painted the night sky on. It was dark blue and littered with little stars and the full moon, it calmed me when I was feeling down, like right now. I glanced over at my alarm clock seeing that I still had a few minutes until I had to get up. Eventually Kiwi by Harry Styles blared through my room and I groaned, slamming my hand on the stupid noisy contraption.
I kicked off my covers, dragging myself out of bed and shuffling to the bathroom. I really didn’t want to go to school today. I stripped and stepped into the shower, the warm water relaxed my tense muscles and I sighed in content.
"Amethyst get off your ass!!" My mom screamed from the kitchen and I chuckled. I almost never got up when my alarm sounded I’d usually just lay there until mom busted in my room and yanked me.
"I'm already up!" I shouted back playfully.
My mom always knew how to put a smile on my face.
I finished my shower and did the necessities before slipping on my underwear and my pre chosen outfit. s****s and a sweatshirt with my black and white vans and a choker as an accessory. I made sure my bag was packed before slipping on my glances.
I grabbed my brush and ecostyler and hitched my bag on my shoulder before going downstairs and sitting at the island. My mom put a bowl of frosted flakes in front of me and a carton of strawberry milk, making me smile.
"You're such a child" I poured my milk in my cereal, taking the spoon she was handing me and shrugging nonchalantly.
Mom got behind me, opening the tub of ecostyler and lathering a good bit in my hair before getting the brush and gently brushing all my hair back and into her fist. She secured the hair with a hair tie that she had on her wrist before making the ponytail into a neat bun at the base of my neck.
Even though I was sixteen years old going on seventeen soon I still acted like I was five most of the time. Especially with me best friends and my mom of course. Ever since I could remember it’s been a tradition for my mom to comb my hair for me every Monday morning and the habit just never died.
"Love you baby" she kissed my temple and I smiled again.
"Now get out of my house and to school education is the root to success" she took my cereal away from me making me frown. I got up anyway, grabbing my bag sticking out my tongue at her making her roll her eyes. She shooed me away and I blew her a kiss.
"Love you Ma" I shouted before I closing the door behind me and I heard a go to school in return.
I put my earphones in humming along to the sweet sounds of Billie Eilish. I didn’t live too far away from school so I usually walked to and from school on a daily basis. Morpheus had gotten me into the bad habit of being picked up and dropped but I texted him this morning not to bother. I couldn’t face him.
The eerie feeling that someone was watching me kept creeping up my spine but when I glance back no one would be there. There wasn’t anyone walking on the street except me so I brushed it off. Stepping into the school gate the first thing I saw was Morpheus leaning against his car talking with his friends. Jessica was glued to his arm and my heart clenched. I quickly looked away, speeding past the group and into the school making a bee line for the cafeteria.
Alexis, Roman, Chad and Rosemary were my best friends. We’ve all known each other since we were kids and our bond has never broken although I’m a lot closer to Roman and Alexis all four of them have been there for me through thick and thin and I’ve done the same. We never keep secrets from each other.
"Did you get laid?" Was the first thing Alexis asked me the second I sat at the table and I shot her a look, shaking my head no.
"No I did not get laid, we kissed like twice and that’s it”
"Finally you did something naughty. I'm so proud of you" Roman nodded in approval and I rolled my eyes. They all started congratulating me, cause they’re dumb and because I’ve always been the virgin friend, which I had no problem with, but these four were always sharing their ‘experiences’ with me and it was weird.
"You guys are so retarded it’s not even funny” I punched Roman’s shoulder and they stopped laughing for maybe a second before they were at it again.
"It's just your face you look like a frigin tomato" Rosemary breathed out in-between laughs. I just sat there pouting, folding my arms across my chest, leaning my head on Roman’s shoulder when he calmed down.
"How come you didn't get a ride to school with him today?" Alexis asked and I tensed.
“I told him not to bother" I shrugged and they all shot me a look.
“Why?” Alexis raised an eyebrow at me.
"It's just that Jesse she threatened me, she threatened you guys! Everyone knows that she’s like the queen of the school, she has a lot of power and I’m not taking that chance. They’re perfect for each other anyways. I’ll just stay away from him” I huffed. Jessica with her stupid slim perfect figure and stupid perfect brown eyes and stupid overly powerful school social status.
"Amethyst Jones you have a sexy ass guy head over heels for you in less than a week! You kissed him for Pete’s sake, gave him your first kiss! You’re going to let some skank tell you s**t? I think the f**k not, come with me!" She grabbed my hand yanking me from my seat on the other side of the table, with a firm grip and then out the cafeteria.
Roman, Chad and Rosemary looked at each other before practically jumping over the table to follow us, grabbing their bags to. Alexis had gone into full on crazy girl mode, pulling me through the halls cussing out anyone who got in her way. I turned to the three, begging them to help me but they shook their heads in denial.
“The Devil has been released” Roman mouthed to me.
It's when we got to the front of the school and I could see Morpheus through the small window of the doors that I stared pulling back at her, digging my heels into the floor so that we couldn’t go any further.
"I'm doing this for you; you need d**k in your life that Morpheus Mitchell d**k!" She screamed and I shook my head at her.
"I'm think the f**k not with that bullshit Alexis" I screamed back at her but she kept pulling and so did I.
"Well don't just stand there help me!" both me and Alexis turned to the three and they sighed. I shot Roman a look, shaking my head at him telepathically telling him that he better not but he betrayed me. Roman scooped me up, throwing me over his shoulders like a sack of f*****g potatoes and Alexis smiled in content.
"Onwards" I pounded on his back but he barely flinched. Everyone in the halls was watching us like we were mad and I shot them nervous smiles.
We made in outside, stopping in front of Morpheus' crew I knew because I could feel their stares on the back of my thighs.
"Don't try anything" Chad pointed an accusing finger at me and I snapped trying to bite it, but he pulled away just in time.
Roman put me down and I avoided eye contact with anyone folding my arms across my chest. It was dead silent; nobody was talking so I took small steps away from the scene before I full on tried to run away. Well tried.
Chad blocked my path so I tried to go another way but Rosemary stood in my path and just tsked at me.
So I did the only thing I could think of. I pushed Michael I think is his name in front of me, running behind the car but Alexis and Roman were already on both sides. I would try to go left but Alexis would move and right was Roman.
"Just talk to him Ame it's not that hard" Alexis taunted me and I scoffed.
"That's easy for you to say" her heart didn’t beat uncontrollably every time he was around.
"He's not going to bite you and that b***h can't do anything she won't regret" Chad purposely shouted, blatantly eyeing Jessica up and down along with Roman, Rosemary and Chad.
"I will say it again! You need d**k in your life! That Morpheus Mitchell d**k!" Alexis screamed at me, flaring her arms in the air like a mad woman and I screamed my reply right back at her.
"And again I will say! I think the f**k not! I have survived without d**k in my life for seventeen years and I think I can go some more"
"Just talk to him” she nudged towards Morpheus.
"Or what you'll s***k me?” I questioned jokingly, laughing, but no one else laughed they all just stared at me, causing my laugh to die down.
"Or she'll let Morpheus s***k you” Chad suggested from the front of the car and I looked at him like he was a mad man.
"Alright now let's not bring out anyone's inner Christian Grey. Let's just get off the topic of s******g" I spoke nervously. How did this conversation even get to this? Why the f**k?
"But s******g is an appropriate punishment" Roman wiggled his eyebrows, pretending to s***k the air.
"If anyone wants to s***k me they'll have to catch me first. How about that?!"
"Is that a challenge?" Morpheus’ voice sounded through the air for the first time during this entire thing, his blue eyes narrowed at me, a smirk on his pink lips.
"I guess it is Mr Mitchell" I challenged, placing my hand on my hips while rolling my bottom lip in-between the fingers of my right hand.
"s**t just got real!" Rosemary hollered as Alexis and Roman cleared out from the sides of the car.
Morpheus' crew stepped to the side-lines with amused expressions. Jessica’s face was beet red, her fists clenched and I saw tears brim in her eyes.
Morpheus would go left I would go right and vice versa.
"You know I'm going to catch you right Jewel, there's no denying" he cockily said and I stuck my tongue out at him.
"I bet that tongue of yours could do nice things after I s***k you"
"You wish Mr Popular"
We made rounds around the car with him sending me dirty jokes and me sending him remarks. Eventually he cheated and climbed right over the car. I didn’t get a chance to run before he grabbed me by the waist and pulling me flush against his chest. His dark blue eyes bored into my own before he leaned down close to my ear
"Caught you" he whispered in a raspy voice s******g me playfully making me laugh.
"I guess you did" I tiptoed pecking his lips and he smiled.
He released me and I smiled going over to Alexis and the guys who all looked very content with themselves.
"My mission here is complete" Alexis bowed flipping her hair over her shoulder and linking arms with me.
"You’re my babygirl t Jewel" Morpheus shouted after me and I turned to him blowing him a kiss and he caught it placing it on his heart.
"Of course Morph" his smile made my heart melt.
I caught eyes with Jesse who looked like she would steam soon.
'He's mine' I mouthed at her with a wink.
