Scars

Chapter 28

Lucas's POV: So some weird stuff have been going on. Somehow people started talking about how Dani used to get beaten up by her stepfather. We don't know how they found out but now everyone stare and talk.
Someone have been putting love letters on Rik's locker and Jake got mad. She said she doesn't know who it is but he's still pissed.
Someone spread the word that Kade made out with some girl from another school and the girl said it was true. But he swears he didn't. He and Mack kinda fight, for like the first time ever.
Some weird arguments on the soccer team.
And now people are saying I'm using Chloe to get other girls.

I'm done with this crap. I got to school, skipped like two periods. I went to the cafeteria because it was lunch time. Everyone was staring at me and whispering. I went to Fred

Lucas: Who?

Fred: Who what?

Lucas: Don't fuck with me. Who spread it?

Fred: I don't know..

Lucas: Dude come on! Seriously? You really think I would use Chloe to get other girls? You think I need that?

Fred: Good point.. I'll catch y'all later - his friends left - I'm not 100% sure bro... but for what I've heard all the rumors started with that new kid in your class. The weird one that is in the team, that never talks.

Lucas: Adam?

Fred: Yeah

Lucas: Son of a bitch

Fred: He's sketch man.

Lucas: Yeah yeah, see you later.

Then I went to Brian. Another popular dude from the basketball team this time.

Lucas: Adam started it - he looked at me - Brain

Brain: It's all lies.

Lucas: No shit

Brain: Sorry dude - we shook hands

Lucas: It's fine. It was him?

Brain: Yeah

Then I went to the girls that always know everything, the captain of the cheerleaders and her BFF, Hannah and Alison.
They were the popular Barbie type of girls, that always know everything that is happening in the school, or better, in town.

Lucas: Ladies - Alison smiled and looked at me

Hannah: Girl power first ok? Even tho she could have a better style and a better attitude.

Lucas: You two have known me for a while. Am I the kind of guy that needs to use anyone to get with a girl?

Alison: No he's not - she said smirking

Hannah: Focus! - she snapped her fingers - How do I know you're telling the truth?

Lucas: If I wasn't, would I really waste my time to what? Clear my name? Come on

Hannah: It's not like you to do it.. true.. Ok. I believe you. You're forgiven

Lucas: Who spread it?

Hannah: The weird silent kid from the soccer team.

Lucas: Thank you

I went to the table on the very back of the room, where he always sit with Joe, Mason and Frank

Frank: What do-

Lucas: Shut the fuck up! - he was shocked - It was you wasn't it you little bitch? - Adam leaned back, smiled a bit and looked at me

Adam: Excuse me?

Lucas: Why?

Adam: Y'all are too easy to get to. And people in this town believe everything. You just gotta put the seed on the right spot. And then let the fire spread. - he was smiling and he was enjoying all of this - And there's nothing you can do about it.

Lucas: Is that so? - he nodded convinced - Watch me. - I got up on the table - Excuse me everyone.

Everyone went silent. Including the crew that was in separate tables

Lucas: The shit you have been talking around.. it's all rumors, created by this fucker here.

Teacher: Lucas!

Lucas: Who apparently can talk shit and write shit as well

Adam: Wasn't me.

Lucas: It ends today. Because each one of you wouldn't like it if it was you people were talking about! So don't talk about what you don't know.

Adam: You're lying

Lucas: Yeah? So you didn't tell shit to anyone?

Adam: No

Lucas: So you're right?

Adam: Yes

Lucas: And I'm lying?

Adam: Yes - he leaned back again, crossed his arms

Lucas: And the rumors are true?

Adam: Yes

Lucas: And you didn't spread the word?

Adam: No

Lucas: And you wrote love letters to Erika as well?

Adam: Yes - I just looked at him - No!

Lucas: Like I said.. rumors.

Teacher: Back to your business people! - everyone went back to their thing. But now they were staring Adam and the other dumbasses, not me.

I saw Kenzie going to Kade, they hugged. Some people came to me saying they were sorry. Some said sorry to Dani as well.
Then Jake came to me.

Jake: He was sending love letters to Erika?

Lucas: Yeah - Jake took a few steps towards Adam but I held him - Don't. Go find Erika

Jake: Fine

He went after Rik. They'll be fine. I got some food and met the crew, all in the same table now.

Tony: What a mess

Kenzie: Sorry for not believing you babe - Kade kissed her forehead

Dani: Thanks - I smiled and held her hand

Sunny: You're not mad at him right?

Chloe: I was never mad at him.

Ryan: You didn't believe it?

Chloe: It was very stupid. Lucas doesn't need to use anyone to get girls.

Lucas: Thanks - we laughed. Jake and Erika came back, together

Sunny: All good?

Erika: Yeah. Finally. Can't believe I missed you putting him back on his place

Tony: Never thought he was that kind of person

Kade: Yeah he's weird

Lucas: He's sketch. And he's very smart. I don't know what he's gonna do next

Ryan: What you mean next?

Lucas: I just humiliated him in front of the hole school. He won't let that slide just like that

Erika: But he started it

Lucas: Yeah. For him that doesn't mean shit

Chloe: Weird..

Jake: Very

We finished lunch and went to class. Adam wasn't there, he went to the principals office I think.
He's some sketch dude but he'll definitely want "revenge". I really thought it would be a chill year since Frank and the pups have been quiet. But now we got someone crazier and smarter, just for the wrong things.
