A FRIEND OF MINE

CHAPTER 6

BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME, TRY HARD TO LOVE ME, LOOK WITHIN YOU HEART THEN ASK, -HAVE YOU SEEN MY CHILDHOOD?

............................................

Have you ever felt like everyone know something and you're the only that don't?

Well that's what I am feeling the moment I walked into the school.

I smile awkwardly at group of girls who were watching something in their phone and got quiet when I pass by them.

I reach my locker and open it to get my books for my first class.

" Hey girly," Tina says approaching me.

I reply back without looking at her.

" Is it me or there is ' Idiot' written on my back?," I ask her.

" What are you talking about?," She asks.

" Then why is everyone giving weird look," I yell looking at two girls across from us who are continuously glancing at their phone and at me.

" Oh! that, wait a second," Tina says pulling her phone out of her pocket, pressing some buttons and then handing her phone to me.

She play a video and I watch myself and Chase from the other day in restaurant.

Someone have recorded it and posted with the caption ' Chase gets his ass kicked for cheating on his girlfriend'.

" People are crazy, I don't remember someone recording it," I says handing her phone back.

" Everyone loves gossip, well I need to go to library see you at the lunch," Tina says turning to leave.

I go back to my locker ," You're clearly enjoying this , right," Someone whisper in my ear from behind me.

I jump getting startled bumping my head on the locker.

The person laugh standing in front of me now, it's Chase no surprise there.

"Purple definitely suits you," I comment rubbing my throbbing head, his face is still in a bad state.

" You......," He stop mid sentence looking behind me.

I turn to look what he is looking at but arms wrap around my waist, I look at the arms then tilt my head back and meet blue eyes of my best friend.

" Back off, Millers she's mine," Liam says from behind me.

I roll my eyes at his words elbowing him lightly.

" Get a hint dude no one is interested to talk to you," Jordan says standing between me and Chase.

" I don't see how any of this is your problem," Chase says.

" How about you come to ' the place' and I tell you in details ," Jordan replies cracking his knuckles , I try to see Chase's face but Jordan ' s  broad shoulders are blocking my way.

' The place' is like place for boys of our school where they go to settle their problems. We have often asked about it but they always change the subject. The makeover Liam and his friends give to the person next day tell us that the matter is solved.

" This isn't over Hazel," Chase says pointing a finger at me and then turn to leave disappearing in the crowd of people.

" The jerk have some guts I must say, ok I need to get to class," Jordan says, but taking a turn to the janitor's , let's not talk about that now.

" Are you planning to stay like this forever?," I ask Liam who have his arms still wrapped around me.

" As if, you stink anyway," He replies moving away.
