The Damage Was Done

CHAPTER 11

It was now Monday which meant school. I walked inside actually on time for once I walked to my locker, pulled out my notebook I had and headed to my first class, which was English. Have I mentioned that I hate school.

I walked into the class and sat at my spot at the back I opened my book and started drawing in it "ok everyone we are going to be starting a group project" Miss Owens says everyone started whispering looking at their friends, "but you guys aren't picking your partner's I will" everyone started to groan "and I've already picked and there's no swapping you'll be working with your partner for 3 weeks outside of class" she says and starts calling out names of people in the class "hazel and Layla, Louise and Axel, Trey and grace..." as she said my name I meantally cursed of course "ok everyone move to your partner's and discuss where and when you'll be doing the project" she finishes I saw one of the girls raise their hand "you didn't tell us what the project is" she said "oh right you'll be writing an essay on a character from the book you feel you're partner most relates" she says and goes back to her desk I hear the chair beside me being pulled out and I looked over to see Axel "so you want to come to my house after school to work on it" he says I look over at him a little shocked that he's actually doing work "sure" I say getting up from my seat walking out the door as the bell rings I start walking to the front of the school to the table under the tree not bothering to go to my next class.

Lunch finally came and I was sitting at the table with Cleo and Jacob "So, how was yours weekend?" Cleo asked "boring, I got drunk and watched movies though" I said "yeah that was fun" I heard a voice behind me say "fuck off" I say not looking behind me because I already know who it is, I see Cleo looking at me shocked "well that was rude" I heard another voice say I look now not recognising the voice "I don't care what do you want?" I said looking at Axel and his two friends Greyson and Ashton they are the schools 'bad boys' even though they are not really that bad besides from the occasional party and hook up they are just like everyone else at this school except that most guys are scared of them and most girls are all over them because of their looks "we want to eat our food" Ash says sitting down next to me Axel on the other side and grey walked around the other side of the table and sat next to Cleo, as I looked at her she signalled for me to check my phone

Cleo 🐁🤍
what's going on??

me
What do you mean nothing

Cleo 🐁🤍
Why are they sitting here? How do you know Axel??

"our mum's are friends and we're sitting here because we want to" I heard Axel say from beside "what the hell you know it's rude to read other people's texts" I say to him "you know you could just talk to everyone instead of talking to each other on your phone right?" He says I ignore him and I turn back to everyone at the table. I look at Cleo and she smirks at me why the hell is she smirking.

This lunch feels like it's going extremely slow. I feel like standing up and leaving but Cleo keeps giving me a look telling me not to, reading my mind "L" I heard someone say I know who it is because only one person calls me that "what do you want Ryder?" I say and the conversation stops looking at me and Ryder nosy motherfuckers, I stood up and walked over to him so we could talk "I want to talk about the other day but I haven't seen you since so-" I cut him of not wanting to talk about it "don't, it doesn't matter we all know how much of a disappointment I am you should just tell mum to send me away already because nothing's gonna change" I say keeping my expression blank and turning around walking back to the table I see them looking at me as I walk back "what was that about princess" Ash asks as I sit down "nothing" I replied and he nods and everyone goes back to their conversation"are you ok?" I heard Axel whisper to me "I'm fine why do you care" I replied "just do" he says back I feel a pair of eyes on me so I look up and see Cleo looking at me with a smirk on her face why the hell does she keep smirking?
