CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

Zara

I arrive at school at the usual time, but I don't leave my car like I usually do. I sit and stare at the message on my phone. The fact she blocked me too, what the hell is going on?

But Noa wouldn't call me by my name, she doesn't do that. It's always "Blondie" and things, it's never actually "Zara".

I wipe the tears from my eyes and slip my phone into my pocket and leave the car, my eyes go straight over to the table to find a certain brunette but she's not there. I then walk over to them, Karen looks at me first.

"Woah, have you been crying?" Juliette asks, quickly pulling me aside and I look at her, "What's wrong?"

I give her my phone, she unlocks it and read the message, her smile fades and she looks at me.

"What the fuck." She cursed and I hum and get my phone back, "Where is she?"

"I don't know and I'd really like to find out because I'm about to lose my mind here and I need to find her." I quickly answer and she took my hands and takes a deep breath, I do the same.

Her eyes move over to someone, I follow her eyes and see Caden's car pulling up into the car park.

"Juliette, no," I say and she takes my hand and drags me towards the vehicle. The boy steps out after a while, my heart sank as I wait for her to get out too, but she didn't.

"Where's your sister?" I ask and he looks at me.

"Oh, hey. Why?" He questions and I roll my eyes, "Jeez, alright! She's busy, she's not coming to school for a while, that's all."

"Is she at your house?" I ask but he walks away and I sigh. He really annoys me.

I turn back around and head over to Karen who looks at me, she didn't even have to ask me, she just gave me her phone once it was on Noa's contact.

Hey, Carter. Please answer me and I'm not trying to look desperate or anything but I have no idea where you are and it's worrying me like you could be kidnapped or something. Please text back so I don't sound so crazy.
Seen

I close my eyes and take in a sharp breath before returning the phone.

"I'm calling her, fuck this." She groans and then the sound of her voicemail.

Hey, I'm so sorry I can't answer your phone, I'm probably busy. I'll get back to you when possible, please record your message if you don't mind, thank you!

"Noa Carter, where on earth are you? You're supposed to be at school and your brother is here which means you should be too. And you have left your own girlfriend on seen like what the fuck, that's not like yo-"

She called again. Voicemail.

"Back to what I was saying, reply to your phone and don't block Zara like who on earth are you?! You were going on all about her the other day like you're obsessed but now you block her. Are you okay?"

And still, there is no answer but the voicemails have been sent. I look over at Juliette who is staring at Karen and I roll my eyes and head into the building.

"Wait up," I call out and the brunette boy looks over at me and stops walking, I quickly reach him and he raises a brow.

"Noa isn't here, I've told you this already so what do you want?" He asks and I shrug, "Me?"

I shake my head.

"Then what?"

"How can I get you to tell me where she is?" I question and he smirks, I quickly shake my head and take a step back knowing what came to his mind, "Anything else?"

"Date me?" He offers and I shake my head once again, "One hook up?"

"No." I answer and he pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs, "Where is she?"

"I can't say, she doesn't want you Zara, it's all an act." He answers and I raise a brow, he brings out his phone and shows his conversation with his sister from... yesterday.

She spent the night with me on Saturday and that's the day I received the message, I didn't see her at all or hear from her yesterday but here, he has.

So what's going on between you two?

She thinks I want to date her again but do you really think I would go out with someone like her? She trusts and falls in love with people too easily.

So it's all a joke? You going on dates, the make-outs, the stares. All of that is just an act to you?

Yes, you can have her if you want, I only want to play with her again, she's so easy to mess with.

Aren't you going to sleep with her?

Hell no, I have Karen for that, Zara can go fuck you again or you can do her like the party.

The tears burn my eyes and threaten to fall as I stare at the messages. I don't fall in love too easily, only with her, she knows she has me wrapped around her finger. She knows this, she knows I haven't dated one person like really dated them since I left her. She knows being with her again has made me the happiest person. And now she says it's all an act?

"I'm sorry, Zara. It is what it is and you can't change that. Maybe she deserved losing you all over again, she was never good enough for you, I am." He smiles and I throw his phone on the floor and watch it shatter and then I look at him.

"What did you just say?" My hands clench at my side and then he repeats his words.

"She was never good enough for you, I am." He repeats and I punch him in with enough strength to then his face to the side and make him groan, "At least she didn't have to get me drunk to call us a couple."

"Fuck you."
