More Than Friends // Sequel of Friends with Benefits.

Chapter Six: Pay back is a Bitch

I woke up the next morning not really feeling like going to school but I missed yesterday so I had to go today. I got dressed into a skater skirt and Greenday tank. I put on converse and went out into the kitchen.

"Morning." my dad said.

"Morning" I responded.

"I got an alarming call last night." He said. I stopped in my tracks.

"Oh um who was it from?" I asked nervously hoping he wasn't talking about the school.

"It was actually your principle. And he said something about you not being in school yesterday. And this shook me as odd because I specifically remember sending her off to school with her trusty friend Tate." he gave me a glare. "Is there anything you need to tell me Charlotte?" He asked.

"Okay listen. I did skip but come on you know I'm a good student and I do what I'm told so I just wanted a break." I said.

"Charlotte that doesn't give you a right cut school. You're lucky I don't tell you mum. But she is under a lot of pressure right so I won't burden her with that." He said.

"Dad I said I was sorry. It won't happen again." I said.

"I know it won't happen again. I also don't want Tate to be a bad influence I think you too should take a break from seeing each other outside of school." he said.

"You can't do that! Tate's my friend besides there has been a lot more shit in my life an Tate has been the only one there for me." I snapped.

"I've made up my mind Charlotte." he said firmly.

"Why are you doing this?!"

"I'm doing this for you. I know you don't think so but I know what's best for you." he said still managing to have a somewhat tone. With that my mum walked in. I didn't pay attention to her though.

"How could you possibly know what's best for me. You were gone half my life growing up you don't know shit." I snapped. Before he could say anything else I grabbed my bag and walked out the door and slammed it shut. Luckily Tate was just pulling up and I didn't have to stick around much longer.

"You okay?" He asked me.

"No I'm not. Let's just go to school." I said firmly. He didn't say anything else and started to drive again. We arrived at the school and I didn't even wait for Tate. I got out of the car and walked to the school. I got to my locker and by then Tate had caught up to me.

"Charlie what happened?" Tate asked.

"Nothing I just had an argument with my dad. I mean he had the nerve to tell me that I couldn't hang out with you anymore because I skipped one day of school. Then he went on telling me how he was doing this for my own good." I explained.

"Charlie I didn't mean to get you in trouble. It's my fault." Tate went on saying.

"No it's not. Don't worry about it Tate this will blow over. But for now I don't want to even think about my dad" I said.

"Okay" he said.

It was around lunch now and by then I had settled down and I was calm and was ready to just eat.

"Why don't we go outside. It's nice out" Tate suggested. I nodded and followed him with my lunch. We sat under a tree and ate our lunch. With that Madison and her both friends came past us.

"Oh look at the them trying to act like they're something." She laughed with her friends.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Tate snapped and stood up.

"I mean come on she honestly thinks she can ever be more than friend with you Tate. Look at you and then at her." She continued to laugh. Tate was gonna say something else but I stood up.

"Actually me and Tate are more than friends." They both looked at me shock.

"You don't actually think I'd believe you" she said.

"Fine then I'll prove it" I said. With that I grabbed Tate and pressed my lips to his. And this time I kissed him. At first he was shocked but then he kissed me back. I pulled away and Madison stood there shocked.

"Ugh" she said as she rolled her eyes and walked away. I sat back down and so did Tate. He still looked shocked.

"I needed to put that bitch in her place. Thanks for playing along Tate" I said.

"Yeah that was a good joke." He said almost feeling uncomfortable.

Tate's POV:

Before I could say anything Charlie had already pressed her lips to mine. I was shocked but I decided to kiss her back. When she pulled away I felt like a lost puppy. Madison just gave us dirty look and walked away. I sat back next to her still in shock.

"I needed to put that bitch in her place. Thanks for playing along Tate.'' She said. I was kinda hurt when she said it was all an act but I couldn't tell her that.

"Yeah that was a good joke." trying to hide that I was disappointed.

Charlotte's POV:

After school I went straight unit my room not checkin to see if any of my parents were home. I sat in my bed and played on um phone when I heard a knock at my door.

"Go away dad" I said.

"It's mum" I soft tone said. I let out sigh and opened the door.

"Can I come in?" She asked.

"Yeah sure" I said.

"So I hear you and your dad are not getting along right now." she said.

"Did you come I here to just tell me that you agree with him?" I said.

"No I came in here to tell you that I know you're still trying to find out what is going on in your life. But still give your dad a break." She said.

"I know but come you honestly expect me not to hang out with Tate? He's my best friend. and I like to point out that we only went to a big oak tree when we skipped." I said.

"I don't expect you to stop hanging out with Tate. I expect you to explain to your father that no matter what he says he will never separate you two. He's not really to bright when it comes to girls. And if this baby is a girl he's so screwed" she said. I couldn't help hit laugh a little bit.

"Thanks mum." I said giving her a hug.

"Why don't we all just go inside and talk for a sec."

"Okay...and by the way for someone who's pregnant you're lest moody than dad is" I said.

"I'll always be less noddy than your dad" she said. I followed her put to living room and my dad was sitting at the kitchen table.

"Luke come in her please." she called for him.

"I'm doing something right now." he said.

"Lucas Robert Hemmings get your lazy ass up and in here" she yelled.

"I swear you treat me like I'm a child" my dads said.
