The New Boy

Fight not Flight

3 Months Later...

Let me catch you up. It had been 3 months and 2 weeks since Connor and I went on our first date and I had to break the oh so important news to my friends. After a couple more dates with Connor, he finally asked me out and you can guess what I said. Yes! Of course. He treated me so well, he loved to show me off to all his friends at school and they seemed to like me. Leo and I are still good friends and we still talk often. Bella is still being all flirty with all the guys at our school, especially Christian. Everything seems perfect.

Well... I thought it was...

It was an average morning, Connor picked me up to drive me to school, I was going to meet Bella. He parked towards the front of the front doors of the school like usual. He kissed my cheek as he left to hang with his friends who sized me up and down. I would just blame it on boys having no control. I saw Bella at her locker and decide to jump scare her. I did just that and her scream echoed through the school halls.

"You bitch!" she said as she punched my shoulder. We both laughed. I didn't get to see Bella a whole lot anymore. It seemed like after two weeks of Connor and I dating, he wanted a lot of alone time with me and preferred that I hang out with HIS friends instead of mine. I'm glad it never changed Bellas perception on me though.

"So... You excited?" I furrowed my brows and glanced at her confused, "For Emily's party this weekend!? You're bringing Connor right?"

"Yeah, sorry I completely forgot." she shook her head and chuckled softly at my forgetfulness.

"Hey so are we going down to our spot tonight?" I smiled and nodded my head following by a simple verbal agreement. "Thank God, I feel like I've had no time to spend with you." She stated as she pouts her bottom lip out.

As she finishes her sentence I hear Connor calling out to me.

"I'll see you tonight!" I give her a sympathetic smile, she returned the expression. I ran up to Connor who lifted me off the ground with a hug.

"Hey so me and the boys where talking and we were wondering if you wanted to go for a walk down to Crystal Lake tonight after Sunset?" Crystal Lake is this very beautiful lake area where a lot of people go for picnics or dates during the day. It's sort of eary at night, like a foggy ghost town.

"Aw I'd love to but Bella and I already had plans for tonight." I say joyfully but apologetically. Connor rolls his eyes and his friends all look at each other with neutral faces. My playful attitude completely disappears and turns into concern as Connor looks at me slightly annoyed.

"Alright we need to talk." my heart begins racing. I nod my head, signalling him to continue. "I kinda don't want you hanging around Bella anymore." I was completely taken back by what he said.

"What? Why? She's like my sister." he chuckles whilst looking at his friends, who also chuckle.

"I think she's a bad influence. And borderline...kinda a slut." He remarks whilst sucking on his teeth. I had kinda concluded in my mind that Connor had a slight distaste towards Bella, but I never though he'd go as far as to call her a slut. "Anyways, I think it's important that you come to Crystal Lake tonight with me and the boys." He says while grabbing my arm tightly. I was almost shaking. I nodded my head in agreement to which he let go from his grip on my arm. He gave a sarcastic smile before walking off with his friends.

I stood in the middle of the Corridors, quietly shaking. People looked at me and murmured to each other. I became a public figure to the school now because of my relation to Connor. It's not tough to say that I hated the attention. This sort of treatment was made for people as glamorous and resilient as Bella.
