Chapter 121
Wow this boy moved fast.
"She is a he". I laughed when his smile fell.
"Another dude". He huffed shoving the last of his twizzler in his mouth.
"Pretty sure his sister has started as well". I winked as the bell rang signalling it was time for our next class.
We both left the library and headed for chemistry. I hoped Mr Robinson gave us a task and let us get on with it. I couldn't be bothered with a full vocal lesson.
....
"You feeding me tomorrow when I come over?". He slung his arm around my shoulder as we walked to lunch.
"Always thinking about your gut but yes I'll order pizza. I'll get a table you get lunch". Dumping my bag on the chair next to me I took out my phone. I had a text from Jake. 'You alright? Can you skip?'
'What's going on?'
After texting him I waited anxiously for a reply. Why did he want me to skip?
"Got you a chicken wrap and some Cheetos". Dumping my lunch in front of me he pulled a bottle of coke from his bag. "You can have that".
"Thanks". My stomach was in knots. He wasn't replying fast enough. My phone vibrated and I almost broke a nail picking it up.
'Just checking in princess. Try and skip last period. I need to pick you up early'
Really?!
'Stop asking me to skip. I CANT!!!'
So much for taking me to the gas station after school. He probably forgot anyway.
"Boyfriend?". Ryan smirked.
"Shut up and eat your food". Now I knew nothing was wrong my stomach settled and I tucked into my wrap.
"So what's the new girl like?". He asked.
"I don't know I didn't speak to her". She was pretty, came off as a little nervous but that was normal starting a new school. "Well her brother then?".
"Cocky! You'll get on like a house on fire". I smirked opening my Cheetos.
"Rude". He frowned. "Is Jake picking you up after school?". My phone vibrated again.
'I've got business to take care of! Skip the last period. I'm not asking'
Now he was just being an a*s. I didn't bother replying.
"Apparently he is. I've to skip last period". At this rate I would end up suspended. I had never missed as many days of school. Yes my own fault but still he shouldn't be asking me to skip.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"What class is it?".
"Geometry".
"Oh Ms Graham. She's an old witch. I was 10 minutes late to her class one day and she made me stand outside for the full lesson".
"Could you drop me home instead of me having to skip. I could be doing without the detention".
"What's in it for me?". He smirked.
"How about I don't give you a sore face". I smiled sweetly at him.
"You'd really hit the money maker?". He laughed pointing to his face. "Of course I'll drop you off".
"Good answer". I winked. Now I just had to let Jake know he didn't need to pick me up.
'Ryan is going to drop me home so you don't have to'
As soon as I sent it he was replying straight away. The three little bubbles were moving on my screen.
'Fine! Get him to drop you at the gas station. Alanna will meet you'
That wasn't the reply I thought I would get. But it tells me he likes Ryan.
"What's lover boy saying?".
"Nothing". As the bell rang I groaned before stuffing the rest of my wrap in my mouth. Social studies wasn't bad I just couldn't be bothered. Me Ellis let you do whatever you wanted as long as the work was getting done. "I'll meet you out front at the end of the day. Bye shorty".
Another class I had to go through on my own. Holly and Jessica were in this class. Can you see why I couldn't be bothered?
Stopping by my locker I looked out some cash for the vending machine. I was going to need something chocolaty if I was getting through her high pitch squeal. The girl didn't shut up ever. Entering the class I took my seat. Holly smiled at me but it didn't reach her eyes. I hadn't forgotten the chat I overheard in the toilets at the nightclub. She was just as bad as Jessica. Taking out my books and my note pad I placed my phone on the table. Mr Ellis didn't mind it being there. Like I said you could do what you want as long as the work was done. "This party on Friday is going to be epic. I wonder if he'll show up". I could feel her staring but chose to ignore her. I wasn't rising to her little foolish games.
"Of course he will. Beach parties always end at his house. We'll still be parting at 6 in the morning". Holly giggled.
There was a beach party this Friday? How come I didn't know about this?
"Wait until you see what I'm wearing". Jessica added.
Zoning out I messed around on my phone for a little bit. Her high pitched voice was starting to give me a headache. Taking out the bar of chocolate I opened it sticking a piece in my mouth.
"I think I'll give him a message after school. We've been messaging back and forth for days".
I knew she was trying to get me to bite but it wasn't happening today. I knew I had nothing to worry about with Jake. He wasn't interested in her or anyone else. My phone vibrated diverting my attention. 'Change of plan. Leave school just now. I'm outside'
Was he being serious?
'I can't you know this'
'Don't make me come get you Leah. You know I will'
After sending him the middle finger emoji I packed my stuff away. He better have a damn good reason as to why I need to cut school short.
Leaving my seat I managed to sneak out without Mr Ellis noticing. That didn't surprise me. The old man just wanted an easy life.
