I further slump on my desk and let out a heavy sigh.

My mind is fuzzy and unfocused.

I vaguely listen to Mrs Turner, the history teacher as she explains the origin of some  dusty old pots lying on her desk.

I think of taking out my phone to text Charlie but that's too tempting because I'm seated on the second row so I'll easily be seen and sent to a three hour detention.

I definitely don't want that.

As I'm bust thinking of ways to distract myself from the oh so boring history class, the classroom door swings open.

The class goes quiet. Awfully quiet.

I look up only to see a smiling Aiden and Oren ?! walk in. Behind them is Amanda, Aiden's girlfriend.

They're late.

Very late.

I check my wrist watch and there's only ten minutes remaining for class to end.

Why bother to show up anyway ?

I wait for Mrs Turner to scold them instead she starts blushing at Aiden when he displays his signature smile.

Ugh !

I roll my eyes at the stupid gesture and hold Oren's gaze in the process. His deep blue eyes hold my ocean ones.

It has been three days since our fight at the lockers. We haven't talked or bumped into each other, and for that I'm glad.

I just don't think I'll be able to hold my sanity if I'm left alone with him-even for a second.

Mrs Turner waves for them to sit down and I roll my eyes again.

Fifteen minites later Charlie and I are seated at our usual table in the library. She's busy finishing her literature essay that is due tomorrow at eight while I'm busy studying for my maths test that is in two weeks time.

I let out a heavy sigh and look up at Charlie whose's busy looking at something behind me.

I turn to see Gale approaching us.

He's in his usual blue jeans and a pull neck. He has his reading glasses on and a load of books in his hands.

I like his dorky look.

When he reaches our table he smiles at Charlie who turns a faint pink then gives me the usual 'hi'.

He sits awkwardly next to me then removes his math text book and our tutoring session begins.

"You like Gale."

I tease Charlie as we walk towards the parking lot.

"No I don't !" She denies and it's kind of funny and cute because she's blushing.

"Come one... he clearly likes you too." I state and she rolls her eyes.

When we reach the parking lot Will is already waiting for me.

Someone's early...

I hug Charlie goodbye then turn to will.

"The last time you came to pick me up this early... my dad wanted to see me. What about today ? What's up ?"

He shrugs then opens the Audi's door for me.

"Get in Ms.Quin... Ms.Jenna awaits you." Will says in a polite manner and I can't help but think...

That's not good.

When I enter the living room, it's all fancied up. Jenna's expensive china are all over the place. There are caterers dressed in white chef jackets and black dress pants arranging fancy food on our dinning table.

The room smells heavily of dandelions and a little bit of lavender.

I see Jenna walk down the staircase in a tight white dress paired with nude colored stilettos. She's smiling at herself as she scans the decor. Her smile turns into a frown when her eyes land on me.

She walks towards me and only stops when she's towering over me.

"Listen here YOU !" She spits out in disgust. " I have a couple of friends from high society coming over for dinner and I don't want you and your annoying little ass around ! Stay in your room and do not...
I repeat... do not come out !"

She waits for a nod or an 'okay' but all I give her is a smile.

She shrugs and heads for the garden.

I turn my head and look down at my tiny ass and pout. " You're not annoying."

I then laugh out loud.

I walk to kitchen minutes later and my eyes land on the huge bowl of guacamole lying on the marble kitchen counter.

I smile mischievously and pick it up. I then enter the pantry and come out with spicy potato crisp. I lay them on the counter and open the fridge.

I pick out two bottles of lemon and blackberry flavoured colas and stuff them in my bag. I then proceed on carrying the bag of potato crisp and guacamole to my room.

I balance the items I'm holding in one hand as I open my bedroom door with the other. Once inside I bump the door with my hip and it closes.

I walk towards my bed but stop half way when the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. My insides twist and turn with a mixture of cold dread.

Without a single thought I gently turn to see a calm looking Oren standing a few feet from me.

Totally creepy.

He is in a pair of black jeans and a black leather jacket that lays open to reveal a black t-shirt that tightly clings on his torso. His black army boots are similar to the ones I wore at Cole's party.

His deep blue eyes are twinkling violently and I can see the storm brewing behind them.

What the hell did I do now ?

I open my mouth to say something but he beats me to it.

"When were you planning on telling me that you're permanently moving to Italy ?!" He asks, his tone harsh and raw.
