My Fragile Heart - Selena & Samara (reading comprehension books txt) 📗

about to kiss. Brittany cleared her voice. "Hey Zoey. Michael told me all about what happened yesterday. What is it? You can't stand surprise parties."
"Whatever Brittany." I said
"Michael also told me that he overheard Brian saying that he overheard you talking to yourself. Now you going crazy." She turned to her girls and start snickering.
"Look Brittany. You don't know me."
" I know about your dead father" Brittany took out Michael's video camera, turned it on, and put on the video. I was screaming and calling out my Dad on the video. Tears welled up in my eyes and I took the video camera away from her.
"Where did you get this!"
"Who do you think. Michael gave it to me." I growled. Brittany smiled. "Is Ms. Zoey mad? It looks like you want to hit me, but you won't.

Before I could say anything, the new girl spoke up. "Hey Brittany. That's not nice. You can't be talking about people's dead relatives."
"Hey, umm... What's your name again?" Brittany said
"Lily."
"Um Lily. Sweetheart, be quite and mind your own business."
"No. You need to apologize to Zoey." I stared in shock. Nobody in Brittany's group have ever talked back to her, ever. Brittany looked at her other girls and they start laughing. Brittany calmed herself down.
"Look umm... Lily. Are you with Miss weirdo or are you with me?" Lily got up and came to my side
"I'm with her." She is crazy. Now Brittany looks serious now. Lily turned to me. "Let's go." We start walking away, but I stopped and turned back to Brittany.

"Oh, Brittany?" I said. Brittany gave me a snobby look.
"What." she said
"You have something on your shirt."

Brittany looked down at her blouse. Once she did that, I poured my whole lunch tray over Brittany's head. Lettuce, tomatoes, and dressing was all over Brittany's head. Brittany start freaking out. She screamed. It look like she was about to have a panic attack. Everybody in the cafeteria start laughing. I turned back around. Me and Lily went outside to my favorite spot under the oak tree. We were both laughing.

"Is Brittany always like this?"" Lily said
"Yeah. We're been rivals ever since the fourth grade. Now she's my idiotic brother's girlfriend." I said
"You have a brother?"
"Well, not biological. I'm adopted. His father and mother adopted me after my father was killed." I had to stop because it was starting to get to me, talking about my father.
"If you don't want to talk about it. It's okay. Let;s change the subject."
"So you're Adrian's sister."
"Unfortunately, yes. Even though we are twins, we are totally different. Adrian is such a moron. Like yesterday, he kicked me out of his car and made me walk all the way home.'
"You guys don't look like twins."
"I know. A lot of people say that."
"I see what you talking about, though. Like today, we have the same Drama class and he actually volunteered the both of us to cite one of the scenes as Romeo and Juliet. He just love messing with me."
"He actually participated in Drama class. Yesterday, when he found out he was taking Drama, he had a fit. He hate the class."
"Then he was just doing it to get on my nerves. Then, after class was Mr. Anderson asked us to be Romeo and Juliet in the school play he is doing."
"I think you should do it." I looked at Lily like she was crazy. "Do it and say that for you and Adrian. I know by doing this, you can get him back.'
I had to think about this before I answered"Okay, I'll do it. I can't wait to see his expression." The bell ring, telling us lunch is over. Lily and I got up.
"Hey, Zoey. I enjoy spending time with you. Since I'm new, can we be friends."
I was shocked. "Uh, sure." We gave each other our cell phone number.
"I'll see you later. We'll be best friends." She start jumping up and down. Then she start hugging me. She is so strong.
"Do you and Adrian work out a lot? Both of you guys are strong."
"No. It's just something natural."

After that, we headed back to class.

Adrian

I came into the classroom a few seconds before the bell rang for 4th lunch. Zoey was already in her seat, still upset. Mr. Anderson picked out more volunteers to do a scene from 'Romeo and Juliet'. I barely listened to him. A few times, I would look at Zoey. Zoey finally look at me and frowned.

"Stop staring at me." she whispered
"You still mad at me." I whispered back
"What you think? Of course I'm still mad. I almost embarrassed myself. I hope you happy."
"You the one who stepped on my foot in the parking lot. Just because you mad I took your parking spot."
"Oh come on. You still mad about that. Stop being a baby and grow up. How old are you? 16"
"No. I'm 17. Maybe you need to ask me first before you answer your own question."
"I do not answer my own question."
"Oh really. Yesterday, you ask me what my name is. Then you going to call me Anthony. That is no where close to my real name."
"It was one mistake. Get over it. Now may you shut up. I'm trying to pay attention." She looked away from me and start paying attention to the classmates performance.
"Why are you so cranky all of the time? You sound like a crazy old woman." Zoey gasped and glared at me.
"I do not! Take that back!" Zoey said loudly. Every body turned their attention to Me and Zoey. I pointed to Zoey. Zoey blushed.

"Mr. Anderson, do you mind if I leave?" Zoey asked. I stared at Mr. Anderson.
"Since the bell is about to ring, you can leave." Mr. Anderson said

Zoey stood up and gathered he stuff. Without looking at me, she left out and slammed the door shut. We all flinched when we heard Zoey scream and kicked lockers. I smiled. I can't believe I got her that upset, but I also felt a little bad for doing it.

Mr. Anderson cleared his voice to get everybody's attention. "Okay class. I want to thank you for your participation For homework, I want you to read Act 1 and 2 of the play. We going to discuss them next class."

The bell rang for dismissal. I got up, gathered my stuff, and left the classroom before Mr. Anderson could call me over. Zoey was no where in sight. As I was thinking this, Zoey was walking past me to Mr. Anderson's classroom. As we were passing each other, Zoey looked at me and gave me a smile. What is she p to? I need to get my mind clear and worry about something that is important, my hunger. I haven't had any blood in a week. I didn't even have enough to drink, yesterday. The sound of beating hearts is driving me crazy. If I don't get any blood in me soon, I will go crazy.

I get to my next class, which is Chemistry, and go to sit next to my lab partner, Trish. Trish smiled at me when I went over to my seat.

"Hey Adrian." she said while chewing her gum. She's been flirting with me since yesterday. That's when a plan struct me.
'Hey Trish." I gave her one of my charming smiles. Just as the bell rang, Mr. Proctor got up from his desk and start giving a boring lesson. I already heard this so many times I was in high school taking this class. I looked over to Trish and saw her staring at me. I wrote her a note and passed it to her. Now we are passing notes.:

'Hey Trish. Do you want to meet me after class?'
'Of course!'
'Let's meet in the stairwell.' Trish looked up and smiled at me. She shook her head yes. I have her now. As soon the bell rang, Trish got up quickly and literally ran out of the classroom. She's probably going to tell her friends and will beat me to the stairwell. I get out into the hallway and the students are swarming in the hallways, getting ready to leave. By the time I got to the stairwell, almost all the students were out of the building, something that I wanted. When I opened the door, Trish was already there. She turned around and smiled at me. She start playing with her hair. I walked up to her, touched her cheek and smiled. I can hear Trish heart speeding up. I can tell she put some make up on while she was waiting for me. I backed Trish up to the wall and looked into her eyes as I compelled her.

"Don't move." I said. She stay still. I bent my head an my fangs touched her skin. I grazed my fangs to her neck and sniffed her scent. My throat start burning. I bit into her neck and I can feel Trish's warm blood sliding down my throat. The more I drank, the burning in my throat start going away. Trish moaned as I keep drinking. All of a sudden, I heard the door to the stairwell open. I open my eyes and spotted Zoey. After she gasped, she ran out. Shoot! I let go of Trish, bit my tongue, and let a drop of blood land on her wound. I could see the wound starting to heal. I whispered in Trish's ear, telling her that we made out,s so she can think that. Trish smiled before passing out. I sat Trish on the steps, wipe the blood from my mouth, and ran out.

Zoey

I ran out the school. I felt so embarrassed. I can hear Adrian calling my name. I just kept running until I got to my motorcycle. I got on my motorcycle and started it. I put on my helmet, and about to drive away, but Adrian stopped me.

"Move or I will run you over." I said
"Zoey, why are
