Ezra

I was walking down the hall ready to go home and to go take a nap but all of that flew out of the window when I heard someone call my name.

"Ezra!" I sighed and turned around and saw Valencia walking towards me her menacing green eyes boring into mine.

I suddenly became nervous under her intense gaze and began fiddling with my fingers.

What could she possibly want now?!

"Hi." I greeted her politely since we're both in public eye.

"Hey." She kissed my cheek and I blush as she grabbed my hand and walked me towards her car. I can literally feel all the eyes on me and I just want to bury myself in a whole and die.

"What are you doing?" I ask her confused as she climbed into the driver's seat.

"What do you mean?" She asked me coldly and I rolled my eyes at her mood switch.

"Why am I in your car." I motioned and she rolled her eyes.

"We have to know each other better for when someone asks us questions." She said simply and I sigh.

"Fine." I grumbled and put my seatbelt on.

"Where are we going?" I asked her as she drive out of the school parking lot.

"The coffee shop." I nod and look outside the car window the whole time. The silence in the car was very awkward and I began to feel uncomfortable so I reached out to put on some music when she slapped my hand away.

"What the fuck!" I glared at her while rubbing my hand where she slapped me.

That hurts like a bitch.

"Don't touch my stuff." She said coldly as she glared back at me.

"What's wrong with listening to some music?! The silence is killing me." I said frustratedly and she rolled her eyes.

"Fucking deal with it!" She snapped and I shut my mouth immediately.

This bitch can be scary when she wants to.

I bit down on my tongue from snapping back at her. Luckily we arrived at the coffee shop and I couldn't be more grateful for that, the tension in the car was killing me.

Once we were in our booth I let out a tired sigh and waved a waiter over.

After the waiter took our orders we sat in silence and I rolled my eyes at Valencia as she scrolled through her phone.

"Okay can we just get this over with!" I finally snap and I see her grip on her phone tightening as she frustratedly puts her phone away.

"So obviously people is going to ask how this happened between us so we have to think of something." I said and she nods thoughtfully.

"How about our parents are friends since high school and ever since we hangout together every weekend we developed feelings for each other." She said as she stared at me.

I suddenly became sad that she mention my parents. My mom is dead and not here anymore and my father is an abusive asshole.

"Ezra!" I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Valencia say my name a little bit too loudly.

"What!" I snapped and glared at her, she gave me a weird look and then shook her head.

"So we're going to go with that story." She asked as she sipped her coffee and I nodded stiffly.

"Sure."

Suddenly a pain shoot through my abdomen and I wince which caught Valencia's attention.

"What's wrong?" She asked as she looked me.

"Nothing." I said through gritted teeth and she frowned.

"Ezra, I can see you are in pain, what's wrong." She asked me in a tone that means to not fuck around.

"Nothing serious, just stomach aches." I shrugged and she let out a sigh.

"Come with me." She suddenly stood up from her seat and I frowned but followed her to the bathroom.

"Valencia what are trying to do?" I asked her confused as she stood in front of the sink.

"Lift up your shirt." She commanded and my eyes widen.

"No, why would I do that." She looked at me with her menacing green eyes and I began to feel nervous so I stared at the tiled bathroom floor.

"Ezra, I'm not going to ask you again, lift up your shirt." She said sternly and I let out a groan.

"Fine." I snapped and lifted up my shirt. Her eyes flickered away from mine to my stomach and I watched as her eyes widen.

"Oh my fuck! Did I do that?" She asked me with concern and I became very confused when she asked me that.

"What? Valencia no don't be ridiculous." I said and flinched away from her touch as she touched my bruised skin.

"I didn't think my car did so much damage." She whispered while looking at my bruises.

Oh...

She thinks this is her fault because she ran me over but the fact that she doesn't know that it was actually my father.

"Valencia it's okay, it wasn't you." She frowned and she looked up at me. I can see guilt behind her green orbs.

"Then how the hell did you get this bruises from?" She asked me sternly and I swallowed the lump in my throat.

Shit think of something Ezra!!!

"I got into a bar fight." I shrugged and make myself look like it's the truth.

She stared deeply at me and I almost looked away but I didn't and she suddenly hummed.

"I hope for your sake it's the truth." She said coldly and I cleared my throat.

"Of course it is." I laughed it off and pulled my shirt back down.

"Let's go we have a lot to talk about." She stormed out of the bathroom and I release a breath.

That was fucking close!
