Amri Ackers
I
LOVE THE CHANCE to be the new girl. I realize that I have some pretty ridiculous self-esteem issues because I practically need the fresh start of starting a new school.
Seventh grade now and another new school? This is precisely the fresh start that I need. I will have a style I have perfected as my own, get every school notebook exactly as it needs to be, and I will be aware of all my favorite books and musical artists. Adults think that teens and preteens (what to rude that word is and means) are always changing and going through phases. They don't understand: we are evolving, growing into ourselves. We are young and are discovering the things that were always meant to define us, be part of us.
My Dad is in the military. Army. That means that we move somewhere else about every three years. And these past few moves have been very formative indeed. I feel the rush already of getting everything right. Fresh start.
I have just the outfit picked out. I have color coded folders and binders and notebooks based on the schedules.
I am totally prepared for this first day. So of course I can't sleep tonight!
Saying “before I knew it I saw the sun rise” is inaccurate. My mind raced through the night and I didn't sleep, but I knew how painstakingly long I was awake. And I got that ironic twinge of tiredness as I worked the coffee pot. There is always just enough to fill my travel mug after my father takes his coffee to work. My mother likes a little coffee in her creamer. I drink it black so I get plenty.
Teachers often don't know how to handle me having coffee in first period. When I find my way to my first class, my teacher is chugging back her own in the same metallic cup. Military teachers know they get new kids all the time, so I just smile. Introduce myself. Sit in a front row seat.
I sit in the front. I take notes. I am organized. I find teachers can always appreciate this. But students my age, not so much. I don't care. It is called school, not popularity contest.
But second period, and the coffee high doesn't mix well with the teacher I have now.
An unfortunate leathery bully of a teacher takes to me just fine. I answer every question correctly.
But I lay eyes on the smirking boy he mocks, and I'm racing in my mind all over again with no real thoughts. Just...something about him.
The teacher asks me to tutor him, and asks me to go sit in the back with him.
Thor-effing-A! That works for me.
I smile at him.
He smiles at not my eyes but the tight shirt across my breasts.
Oh damn...just something about him that should turn me off to him makes me...excited in a way I have never felt before.
I introduce myself to him quietly, and though the teacher called him Caleb, he tells me that he is Cale. The way he paused, and really looked into my eyes. It practically melted me into my seat and I hoped I didn't look silly when I smiled back.
Through class I almost tune everything out as the assignment of the day will be to memorize the names of the first ten presidents in order is something I don't need to pay attention to. I already know that. So I listen in case there is anything else I need to know...but I don't.
I can't help it.
I am
totally
staring at Cale.
I can tell that his family doesn't have any money because he has a battered ancient hoodie on with ratty jeans and crappy old boots, but I don't care.
My family is broke, too, and I care just enough to keep my uniform of regular looks together. I admit without shame that I have good boobs and I will be damnedest I'd I ain't gonna show them off. I wear boots every day - the knee high and heeled kind. Once I got my Mom to buy them, I knew I would never stop wearing them. I could give two shits that I am always looking out of place. I am damned smart so I am always out of place anywhere.
Cale, he is out of place but because he has this whole bad boy thing going on. Bad boys have never had any allure for me in general. But Cale’s highjacked my brain with that something about him.
I don't say anything to him. But when I ask him about my next class, he snatches my schedule. "Come with me," he says over the ringing bell. For the first time, I leave just as the bell rings instead of noting in my agenda what we discussed in class. No lecture wrap-up notes for me, Cale Logan has grabbed my hand, asked, no,
commanded
, I come with him. I discover we don't have the same class when he starts to walk away, but for all I know he isn't even going. He tells me where the cafeteria is, and that he'll meet me outside.
"To study?" I ask. Timid as a caught mouse, I think my voice actually speaks like I’m willing my brain. But I don't care.
I actually hold my breath till I hear his answer, "Yeah, turns out I have a good reason not to fail all my classes now."
He squeezes my hand, and I nearly faint.
He lets go and I stutter out his name.
"Yeah Sher?" And my mind is dizzy. Is that just a nickname, or is his gruff voice making a French reference rolling out my name?
"You didn't even have a pencil. You don't have a bag. Is it in your locker?"
He laughs, and it is a sound I feel needs treasuring. I just know he doesn't laugh often enough. When he walks away and I have pulled myself from my thoughts, I will notice the ugly looks people cast him. But I will treasure him. Cale Logan belongs in my heart, and I have been evolving and growing for him to be part of me.
I reach inside my tote - I carry a tote, not a backpack - and give him one of my dark green pencils because it looks rich like his eyes. And I give him my notebook. Forget my color coding. I wanna give whatever I got to Cale Logan.
He takes it and smiles. "Thanks. I'll take notes or something. See you at lunch."
He walks away and I catch my breath.
This fresh start is the best yet.
But with a sinking feeling, I know that I will have one in a few years after this. I am already crazy about Cale. I can't start over anymore.
But I am like that, mind racing and mourning the future.
Only because I know when I gotta hold onto something. Gotta hold onto Cale Logan.
Eight years later...
IN MY HEART I Knew what she wanted us to be, even then, even being so young, but it didn't matter.
Though I was as wrapped up in her as she was in me, I knew I had to let go because her dad was military, they left.
She was never coming back for me, no matter what she had said. Military kids, they move, and they never see anyone again.
But when I saw her that day, when I was out on my bike and paying just enough attention to cages coming in town to make sure no one destroyed me or my fucking ride, I knew her face when I saw it. Years later after seeing each other in person. That was my Sherry.
My Sherry I tried to never think of myself as havin'...but I want her.
Sure, when she'd looked me up on Facebook last year, I'd been fucking stunned.
And we talked. But I never thought she was really coming. And I hadn't heard from her in several weeks.
Shit, I realized that we'd never gone this long without talking since we'd reconnected on Facebook.
And she'd sent me letters before email was the big thing. Then we'd email.
Fuck. How'd I been too blind to see that Sherry was always coming back to me.
After my younger years and feeling like I shit, I felt like big shit on the road as a biker now, just like my MC Prez Dad.
But I practically turned to a liquid on my bike, pulling over in front the jewelry store office complex the MC owned when I saw her.
I shook my head.
I only saw her for a second. I hadn't seen what she'd looked like in a while. Unlike most people, she hadn't posted a million selfies on her Facebook.
Far as I could tell, fucking Sherry only used it to talk to me. And it had one old picture she'd put on there when she'd graduated high school. Thousands of miles from me.
Fucking Sherry.
Fucking. Sherry...
She hadn't said she was coming.
She hadn't said anything to me in almost a month.
Was I losing my fucking mind?
It had never been said that I, Logan Cale, was of sound and regular mind.
***
"Were you even gonna tell me you were back in town?"
Who would wanna tell anybody they were in this shithole. But...I knew Sherry. Fucking knew that there was something more that was going on.
Then, there it was, tearing into my heart and ripping my goddamn balls off with them because Sherry couldn't look at me that way.
Fear. Icy cold breath stopping fear in her eyes. I was chilled to my goddamn bones with the exception of the fuckin' inferno of rage building up in their marrow. Something. Was NOT. Right.
"Sherry, baby," I lowered my voice. Shifted my eyes, surveyed that no one was around or watching us, but still I kept my tone low and touched her arm while I asked, "What's wrong, Sher?"
Her big eyes tore through me. Something was wrong. Was very wrong. But she didn’t look ready to talk about anything.
Her eyes sparked with more fear, and I felt stabbed when she directed it at me. "H-how did you know I was here...you don't work with him, do you?
"Sherry, baby, who the fuck is him? Goddamnit, come with me, wear my helmet, we gotta talk you obviously aren't safe here."
Then I saw a fucking face I recognized.
It fucking recognized me, and I knew I was in trouble.
Within a minute, Sherry was on my bike with her arms clinging to me for dear life.
The sweet girl I hadn't seen in years, who I'd never really stopped talking to .
For the first time, I drove off with answering my MC prez's call.
Dad would just have to understand.
Didn't know if he'd believe I wasn't trying to get involved with the white hate motherfuckers undoubtedly related to whatever upset my woman--
Fuck.
Sherry had always cared about me but didn't grow up around the MC.
So why couldn't I shake the idea of her as my woman? As my real woman, as my old lady.
