History Class

17 - thorn bush

A/N: First I would like to say how sorry I am for how late I'm updating each chapter, there will be 2 more up this week that I'm working on and I'd also like to ask if anyone has suggestions or anything they want to see in this book later on! <3 Thank you.

"I don't understand why I'm fixing your face when you're the one who got in the fight," I say to Jake as I dab a towel at his cuts.

"I'm pretty sure you didn't give me a choice Mils."
I glare down at him.

"What were you even fighting about? Did someone take the last chocolate milk or something."

"Hmm if I recall he said 'What did you do to her, you definitely put her on some kind of drugs, Millie would never do this to me. I know you're behind it' something like that."

I slightly giggle at how ridiculous that sounded.
"You can go look in the mirror."

Jake gets up and walks over to the mirror next to the closet.
I slump down onto his bed.

"You know he's not gonna stop right?"
"Oh yes he will, trust me."

Jake turns and raises his eyebrow at me.
"Last night I kind of said some pretty harsh things...I should've thought about what I was saying before I did but I'm sure I made it pretty clear about my feelings to him."

"Is that so?" Jake leans against the closet.
I hum and look down at my hands.

"After what I said to him I would understand if he hated me."
"I think, he still likes you."
"No way," I grumble.

"Wanna bet?" I look up and Jake has a sly smirk on his face.
I pick up the pillow from next to me and throw it at him.

"Hey!" He laughs as he catches the pillow.

~~~

"You ready?" Oscar asks from behind me.
"Yup just packing some sunscreen."

I look around but Noah hasn't been seen all morning since the fight. What did I do.

"Hey so are you free tonight?" Oscar asks.
I look at him in confusion.
"No sorry I'm going to that party?"

"Oh good same, just making sure you were coming," he winks at me then starts walking down the beach.

I hear voices so I look behind me to see Noah and Sadie sitting under a tree, I never knew they were friends...

I brush it off and continue down to the beach.
I get closer to the beach and can hear music. I look to see half of my class is already there.

I lay my towel down and slip out of my dress to reveal my bikini.
To be honest I didn't really feel like swimming so I'm just going to lay on my towel instead.

It's quite nice being here, I never got to go on holidays much as a kid so I appreciate it more now.

I hear footsteps behind me and a very much wet Jade who just got out of the ocean jumps on top of me.
"Jade! You're soaking!"
She laughs in response.

"Millie don't tell me you weren't planning on swimming," Devin buts in.

"Maybe..."

Devin and Jade nod at another and I get the feeling they made a plan.
"What are you guys up to...?" I ask.

"Hm us? Ohh nothing"
They both get up and stand in-front of me.

"You're going to that party right? Cool. Wait do you like seafood or not I can't remember. Are you enjoying the beach?" They start shooting out questions as if they were stalling.

They both start looking back and fourth from me to something behind me.
I slowly turn my head to look but before I can I'm lifted up.
I spin my head to see the culprit Jake.

"Ready for a nice swim Mils?"
It finally clicks in my head.
"No no no no put me down!"
Jake starts to run towards the ocean.

Oh shit.
Before I know it I'm thrown into the warm water and completely submerged.
I swim to the top of the water and look around until I find my target.

"I'm going to kill you Jake."

"Only if you can catch me first," he smirks and starts swimming to shore.

Hell nah.
I quickly tail him but he swims much faster.

I have a plan.
I sink down into the water and then start to fake drown.
I know it's a bad idea but I'm full of them.

It takes a few seconds but then I feel arms wrap around me and pull me to shore.
I'm placed down onto the sand he moves the hair away from my face.
"Oh my god Mils are you ok?" I slowly open my eyes to see him kneeled beside me.
A slight smile appears on my face and he realises whats happening.

"Fucking hell Millie, I thought you were dying."
He stands up and I start laughing.
"Not funny," he responds and kicks some sand onto me.
I look over to where Jade and Devin were but instead Noah's there and he's staring straight at me.
I take a deep breath in and then stand up to meet Jake who's in-front of me.

"Let's go get ice-cream from the kitchen," I say pulling him away.

~~~

The sun starts to set and the party is starting soon. Oscar still hasn't told me what room I'm relocating to tonight so I guess I have to stay with Jake again.

"How will the teachers not find out?" I ask.
"Someones distracting them."

I look over at Jake's who's sitting on his bed waiting for me to be ready.
"Does it always take this long?" He asks.
I pick up my pillow and throw it at him.

"I'm literally ready."
Jake sends me a smile and we get on our way.

~~~
When I arrive at the party I get flashbacks from the last one, I definitely won't be drinking that much tonight.

"Millie you came!" Oscar shouts over the music.
"Yup."
He tries to grab me to lead me somewhere but Jake grabs my wrist.

"Sorry man she's needed elsewhere."
I look up at him and tilt my head.

He gives me a warning with his eyes.

Oscar lets go of me and I whisper in Jakes ear if we can go outside even though we just got inside.
He nods and we make our way into the garden.

"Do you want a drink?" I ask him.
"Yeah sure."
"Wait here."

I make my way through the people to the drinks table and pick up two coca cola's.

"Hey Millie did you want to play never have I ever? It starts in 10 minutes in the living room," Oscar asks while coming up behind me.

"Why not, I just have to go get my friend."
"Alright."

I make my way back into the garden to see Noah now there and yelling at Jake.
I speed up my walking and place the coca cola's on a table near by.

The closer I get the louder Noah becomes.

"You dipshit, she never used to be like this and you're always with her for fucks sake!" Noah yells.

I walk in-front of Noah placing my hands on his arms.
"Not here Noah, go somewhere else."

"No! He did something, I know he did and you guys are going to fucking tell me! Come on Jake let's settle this right now. Wanna punch me? Go ahead punch me!"

"Noah, leave please" I beg while slowly pushing him back.

"I said no!" He yells and pushes me off him.
I fall over onto the grass and cut my leg on a thorn bush.

"Lily, oh my god I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-"
Noah tries to come over to me but Jake stands infront of him.

"Get the fuck away from her."
