Chapter 21 - Somthing's Off

Angelina's POV

Hello! It's been a couple of months since we beat Varsity and some things have changed! I'll fill you in.

So, there's been new couples. Julie started dating Scooter, which is honestly so adorable. Linda and Charlie also started dating, which is so cute. Linda is actually such a nice girl and Connie, Julie and I really did bond with her. Speaking of Connie, she's still with Guy and they are going strong.

Some things stayed the same. Goldberg still loves complaining and eating, so he's still the same. Averman is still the same. Charlie still can be extremely sassy but we do love a sass king.

Dean and Fulton have been helping Kenny come out of his shell and be more confident and I'm so proud of him. Dwayne is still a sweetheart. Russ still talks trash to anyone who isn't in our friend group. And Luis is still a fuck boy. All of the people that were staying in the dorms before chose one person to move in with.

As for Adam, he's the best boyfriend I could ever ask for. He's kind, caring, sometimes overprotective, and I love him so much. We always spend time together, going on fun little dates and stuff. I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend than him. He's my baby.

I heard a car horn go off. I went straight to my window. I opened it and popped my head out. Connie and Julie just got here.
"Hurry up Ange, we'll be late otherwise!" They shouts.

I quickly popped my head back in and closed the window. I sat on my bed and put on my shoes.

This is the outfit:

I grabbed my bag and walked out the door. I got to the bottom of the stairs and opened the door to leave the building. Connie's mum offers to drive us every day now. Julie moved in with Connie after she moved out the dorms.

I shut the door of the apartment building and that's when I caught their attention. They looked up and smiled.
"Hello there." I greeted, walking over to them.

"Well don't you look amazing." Julie pointed out.
"Um excuse you. Have you guys seen yourselves?" I answered before getting in the car.
"How are you guys today?" I asked as I buckled my seat belt.
"We're fine." The both said.
"Its Friday today isn't it? You know what that means." I said, starting a new conversation.

"Weekly team sleepover." We all said.
"Not at my house." Connie clarified.
"Not at mine either." I said. "It's Charlie's turn to be the host."
"Yeah it is. But before the sleepover we have training." Julie announced.
"Coach has been really pushing us." Connie huffed.
"Well we're on a winning streak. We need to keep it up if we want to be state champs." I commented.

Not long later we arrived at school. We were 15 minutes early. We always meet the boys at the huge quad in front  of the school.
"Thank you Mrs Moreau." I thanked and we got out the car. She drove off a moments later.
"Lets go meet the boys, ladies." Connie announced and we started walking promptly.

We got the quad and we saw all the boys sitting on some benches. We reached them.
"Hello fellow ducklings." I greeted and they all looked at us.
The first person I made eye contact with was my handsome boyfriend. He was wearing a navy polo shirt and black trousers.

He got up from the bench and I walked over to him, putting my hands on his shoulders. "Hello there."
His hands wrapped themselves around my waist.
"Hello darling." He kissed my lips and I kissed back. Seconds later, we pull away. "How are you feeling today my love?"

"I'm okay. The usual. You?" I asked, hugging him at the same time.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He said, but I could tell that something was off.
"If you do not mind Banksie, I will take your girlfriend now because we have Maths." I turned and saw Kenny.
Soon after, Adam kissed my forehead.
"See you in History babe."
"Bye Adam." I waved and started walking with Kenny to maths.

"Do you think there's something off with Adam today?" Kenny questioned.
"Yeah, I was literally going to ask you that. I thought I was the only one that realized. I'll talk to him some time today." I explained, and he nodded.

We then reached the classroom.
"Lesson one of torture ; maths." We said in unison before walking in.

I was walking in the hall, heading to History, when someone caught up with me.
"Hey Ange." It was Linda.
"Hey Linda, how are you?"
"I'm okay? Ready for History?"
"No, our History teacher honestly has some problems. He scares me. But I suppose what we're learning about right now isn't bad."

We continued to talk. We were getting close to History when someone crashed into me, nearly knocking me over. I looked up at the guy. Riley.
"Watch where you're going, asshat." I snarled.
"Who are you calling an asshat, you bit-." He began to say, attempting to step closer to me, before he was stopped.

Adam, and some of the other boys stepped in front of me, protecting me from him.
"Don't even think about it." Adam defended.
"Well if it isn't the losers of the school." Riley said, making us roll our eyes. "The little thing over there was in my way." He pointed at me. Adam grabbed Riley by the collar and slammed him against a locker.

"Oooooo, are you angry Banks?" Riley smirked, with intentions to obviously provoke Adam. I pushed past the other boys.
"Riley do you remember when I broke your nose? Or when I hit you in the balls with a hockey stick?" I asked, making his facial expressions change completely. His eyes widened.

"Go near her one more time, I will chop your tongue off with my skates." Adam hissed.
"Or even better, I'll chop your dick off with my skates." I growled and Adam let go of him. Riley ran away.
"I hate him so much." Charlie grumbled.
"Tell me about it." I turned to Charlie. "By the way, it's your turn to host the sleepover." 

~

Adam was about follow Fulton and go into History but I pulled him back.
I placed my hands on his cheeks. His jaw had tightened and his neck was tense. I rubbed my thumbs back and forth along his cheeks. He wasn't keeping eye contact.
"Hey, hey, Adam look at me." He obeyed. "I'm okay. Ignore what Riley said."
"I just don't like how he talks to you. I don't like it at all when he's near you. That's all."

"You have nothing to worry about. He won't go near me anymore I promise." I smiled at him and he nodded. I kissed his nose before going inside.
