Trouble

Chapter 7
Marilynn
“Hey I have to go, I’m getting another call but please call me tomorrow.” I say into the phone.
“Okay bye take care, and don’t get into too much trouble.”
“Yes I know, I know, bye and good luck with everything.” I responded then hung up not giving the person a chance to reply.
Who the hell is calling me on blocked?
I decide to answer it just for the hell of it. Besides Lori tends to call on blocked sometimes or it might be Nathan.
“Um hello?” I spoke into the phone.
“Mary?”
“She’s speaking, who’s this?” curiosity evident in my voice
“It’s um-
Harry.” All my guesses are rejected once the butt head responds with that raspy voice of this.
“How the fuck did you even get my number?” What the hell is this creep doing even calling me? I should punch him no kill him!
“Confidential school records.”
“Are you fucking serious? They’re confidential for a damn reason.”
“Hey-hey, calm down, I just had to find a way to contact you.”
“Okay so ask me for my number, you creep.”
“Like you’d actually give it to me” Good point.
“Well you obviously called for a reason, so what do you want?”
“Well instead of hating each other, why can’t we just be friends?”
“Ha you’re funny.” He can’t be serious.
“No, Mary I’m serious. What do we get from being enemies when we can be friends. I mean think about it, being friends will get us more wins combined, rather than fails.” Another good point…
“Wow that actually doesn’t sound stupid.”
“Thank you…”
“I don’t know, I mean I already have enough actually more than enough.”
“C’mon think about the benefits of being my friend, I can pull you out of school, tweak your grades make them higher, get you out of detentions and get people to stop calling Alden your dad.”
“Okay I agree.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Great.” He said
“Under one condition.” I smirked
“Which is it?”
“You see, ever since Mason left I haven’t been preforming…”
“Okay?”
“Which means I haven’t been earing money.”
“And….”
“And I basically need a partner.”
“So what you want me to find you a partner?” Is he really this stupid or like does he do this on purpose?
“No, you dumbass I want you to be my partner.”
“Oh.”
“So what do you say?”
“Deal.”
“Alright well I have to go now my friend, you wasted enough of my time.”
“Kay bye.”
The phone call ended.
Why does he want to be my friend? I mean he’s made it pretty clear that he hates me, so what are his intentions? Harry has struck me as shady already so he cannot be trusted.
I decide to take a shower and then do my homework because I feel gross and I’m falling behind in school.
Once I feel the warm water hit my body, I instantly feel much more relaxed. There’s been too much stress right now, maybe that will change, maybe. Being friends with Harry could have its advantages, especially since he’s nineteen, making him legal to buy alcohol and enter clubs. Since he’s my “friend”, I can start doing gigs again and finally earn enough money so I can move out and not have to deal with Alden or my mom.
As I wash my body I can’t help but think about how I use to go the river with my parents and Lori, how we use to swing on rope and jump into river or when we’d have a barbeque and have relay races. Those were the days. I tried convincing my mum several times for us three to go back but she always had an excuse not go or she would tell me no without any reason to why she couldn’t take Lori and I. I did go one time with Lori but it just wasn’t the same, I ended crying that night because I knew my family would never be the same. My mum loves Deloris Hope more than I Marilynn Hope, she always has, she always will, and it’s like her job to make me feel left out.
I finish washing my hair when I think of a nice idea. I’ll just tell Harry to drop me off at the river. I don’t need Lori or my mum to go. I can go by myself; it’s been like that since my papa past anyways. I’m always alone; I don’t care if I have plenty of friends. I am all alone. Why did Mason have to leave me? Everything was perfect here, he was my best friend, and my brother, the only person I could count on and he left for what-money, a record deal?
I should have gone with him, but at the same time that’s not the life I want, to always be on the road, dress nice, fake kindness, have everyone judge you- um no thanks. Damn I need to stop debating with my self.
I get out of shower and change into my pajamas. I leave the restroom and start my homework

Done. Wow its midnight. Soon my phone rings yet again...
Unknown
It says unknown along with a non-familiar number. Whatever I’ll answer. I’m guessing its Harry or Lori.
“Hello?”
“Hey Mary, I know its late but I need a favor.” My guess was right.
“What do you want Harry?”
“My friend is coming in a couple weeks to visit me for a few days and I don’t what to get her.
Her? He’s friends with a her?
“That’s not my problem-
‘Please Mary c’mon we’re friends, remember?” fuck. I wish I were completely heartless.
“We literally just became friends, it’s only been a few hours.”
“Please, I’ll return the favor, I swear.”
“Fine, but you’re buying me candy.” I demanded.
“Yeah totally.”
“Alright where are we going and when?” I asked.
“Tomorrow after school at the Shopping center.”
