Verity's POV
I was sitting on the wall smoking as I took in the events of the past few weeks, in the space of a week ive lost most of my friends, my popularity and my boyfriend. It is all because of her, why did she have to come in and just fuck my life up. Im stuck working with her in music class, how am I meant to work with her when just seeing her makes me want to punch her in the face.
I mean I have magenta still but annie, sapphire and beth ditched me for her. Kind of pisses me off you know, my boyfriend ended it with me. Apparently he was sleeping with a cheerleader for months, as far as im concerned they are welcome to each other. I wont tell my dad though, he doesn't need more to worry about. He has enough to deal with, his new album comes out next week so hes promoting that.
I saw scarlet with a guy, he was very good looking must be her boyfriend. Magenta was getting food from the canteen so I was on my own, a feeling im getting used to now. I know most people would try and get their popularity and friends back but if they are like that then I don't want them. If they are just going to leave me for someone better then I don't need them.
"Hey" a voice said as I turned and looked, "what do you want?" I asked. "Can I sit?" sapphire questioned, I shrugged. "Look about this thing with scarlet" she started, "don't give me excuses please. You went off with her because shes so much more popular than me now. All three of you are the same" I said.
"That's not true the whole paint thing was a little mean" she told me. "Oh right so that's how it works is it? She can go round cutting lumps of my hair away but a little paint and youre done?" I said climbing off the wall. "Theres no proof she did it" sapphire replied, I laughed "you know what I don't even care you can believe whatever the hell you want I have my own shit to deal with" I snapped walking away from her.
Magenta walked over to me, "hey whats up?" she asked, "just stuff I want to forget" I replied. "I have an idea" she told me, "oh what?" I questioned. "I vote we bunk school and go get drunk" she said. I considered it for a few minutes, "Ok we can go across the school field theres a gap in the fence" I replied as we ran up the corridor and across the field.
"So where are we going to get drink from?" I asked, "my house dur my parents are at work we can sneak some out" she told me. "Yes lets do it!" I replied. She only lived 5 minutes from school, we picked out some bottles and headed towards the park. We settled on the grass, "cheers" I said tapping the bottle against magentas. "Bottoms up" she said smirking as I tilted the bottle, it burnt a little as I swallowed it. I coughed a little, "it only burns the first few mouthfuls" she told me as I smiled and took another swig of the bottle.
A few hours later...
My head was a little fuzzy by now, I looked down at the empty vodka bottle on the floor and the cigarette ends. "Whats the time?" I asked, "half past something" magenta answered. She was more drunk than me, I was only tipsy but it felt good to be breaking the rules. "Let me look" I said grabbing her arm, "half past 3 I suppose we better get home" I replied. "I cant be bothered" magenta said, I laughed and pulled her up.
She stumbled a little as I laughed, "I can walk you know" she protested as she took a few steps and almost fell over. "Let me help you" I said looping my arm around her waist, I walked her to her front door. "You know I loves chu right" she said, "yeah" I replied. She smiled and hugged me before she kissed my cheek. "Thanks for that" I said wiping my cheek, "that's ok" she answered as she walked inside.
She was completely smashed, her mom and dad are going to go nuts. Hell my dad is going to go nuts, I slowly made my way down the road to my house as some guy ran into me knocking me to the floor. "Hey watch it" I said, "oh my god im so sorry are you ok?" he asked. He has amazing green eyes, he held out his hand as I took it.
"Thanks" I said stumbling up, "are you sure youre ok?" he asked. "Yeah" I answered, "come on theres a café up the road i'll buy you a coffee" he said putting his arm round my waist. He sat me down and went to order, returning a few minutes later with strong coffee. "Thanks" I said blowing on it, "im really sorry I knocked you over" he apologised. I smiled "its cool it was my fault aswell" I replied.
"You looked a little spaced out" he answered, "yeah maybe I have a lot on my mind" I told him. "Yes but getting drunk isn't the answer" he replied his eyes sparkling, "maybe not but I wasn't drunk and besides I stopped thinking of stuff for a while" I mused tracing my finger over the rim of the mug. "What does a pretty girl like you have to worry about" he asked gently lifting my chin upwards.
I blushed and looked away, "you have no idea" I said. "Im sure its not as bad as all that" he prompted, "I don't even know your name" I said. "Dante and you are?" he asked, "Verity" I replied. "What a pretty name, matches the pretty girl" he said. I blushed as his fingers ran over my lips, I parted them a little as his hand went to my neck. He turned his face to the side as I did the same, our lips crashed into each other.
He pulled away as I licked my lips, "what was that for?" I asked. "Because youre gorgeous and I couldn't help but kiss you" he replied. "Well thanks but I need to get home, thank you for the coffee" I said standing. "Can I see you again?" he asked, I smiled and slipped my number into his jean pocket. "Call me" I said blowing him a kiss as he smiled and watched me leave.
