“No. I don’t.” I slammed my locker shut and walked down the hall.

“Every time I turn around, you’re looking at her.” She stomped her foot. “Do you prefer that white trash bitch over me?”

A small crowd gathered around us.

“Well, Henry?” Her hand went to her hips and people moved in closer.

“No.” I huffed out a hard breath in frustration. “I don’t even like her!” Looking over Victoria’s head, I saw Miranda standing there shaking her head before she turned and ran down the hall.

It took another fifteen minutes to calm Victoria down. What I should’ve done was tell her I wanted to break-up.

She finally left with her friends and I ran down to the gym and out the doors to see if Miranda was waiting for me under the bleachers.

Making sure no one else was around, I slipped under them and looked around for Miranda. When I didn’t see her anywhere, I went back inside the school, got my backpack and ran to my car. If she wouldn’t meet me here, I’d go to her.

There was an old farm not far from the school. I turned on the dirt road that led there and pulled into the driveway. I watched as three huge dogs trotted into the barn.

Opening my door, I slid out of the car and jumped when someone yelled at me.

“Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!”

I fell back against the car and slumped to the ground, staring at a goat. “What the fuck?”

“What’re you doing?” Her voice came from the other side of my car.

Jumping up, I looked at her and could tell she’d been crying. “You weren’t under the bleachers.”

“That’s because I’m not your friend.” She sneered at me and walked towards the barn.

“I didn’t say that!”

“You don’t even like me. Ring a bell?” She spun and looked at me as she walked backwards. “Oh! and let’s not forget white trash bitch.”

I stood there like a moron, watching her walk away and felt something ram against my thigh.

“Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!”

“Damn, are you noisy!” I looked down at the goat, who backed up and lunged for me again. I stepped out of the way in time for his thick head to hit my car and dent my door. “Jesus!”

He backed up again, and I ran towards the barn. “Mirrrrraaaaaaaaaanda!”

“Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!”

I heard his hoofs pounding the ground behind me. “Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.”

The dogs barked and a smaller goat came running towards me from the front.

“Maaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Fuck!” I jumped over the small gate in front of a stall and heard laughter. “This isn’t funny, Miranda.”

“I disagree.” Her head hung down from the loft. “This is hilarious!”

The goats wandered off with the dogs, and I hopped back over the gate. Along the wall, I saw a ladder that went up to the loft and I went over and climbed up.

Miranda

I sat back against a block of hay and watched Henry climb into the loft.
