Love Circle

Chapter 5

I couldn't believe the text I got last night from Liam! He wants me, me Amie May, to hangout with him and his friends!? I'm shocked. I don't even know what to say.

I get to school and for the first time ever I don't feel nervous. I walk to the center of the school and see Liam. His friends look confused.
"Hi." I smile, trying to not seem weird.
"Hey!" Liam smiles.
"So how are you 2 friends all of a sudden?" Sam asks.
"We're not friends really, we're more just acquaintances." I say.
"Right..." Luke looks at Max and Sam.
"Hey man, are you ready for tryouts at lunch today?" Max asked Liam.
"Yeah, I guess so." Liam smiles. Tryouts?
"You should definitely come, Amie! You could watch Liam tryout!" Max suggests.
"Uh...sure I guess?" I agree.
The bell rings for class. We all go to our classes. I sit next to Liam at the back.

"Right has everyone done their homework?" Mr Brown asks all of us. Everyone nods. Mr brown calls pairs up one by one. Eventually, it's mine and Liam's turn. We do our presentation, Mr brown seems very impressed.
"I must say, that was a very good job you two! A+ for the both of you!" Mr brown says.

Me and Liam sit down.
"Amie! That's the first A+ I've ever gotten!" Liam says clearly proud of himself.
"We'll done!" I smile and happy for him.

At lunch, I go to watch the football tryouts. I sat at the front row bleachers to see better. I see 2 popular girls, Emma and Phoebe. They keep looking over at me and giving me dirty looks. But it doesn't bother me. I watch Liam tryout. He was really good, his shoots were accurate, all of his passes were all in sync, he was really good at this. The tryouts was 2 hours long so they'd miss last 2 lessons, only cheerleaders and important parts of the school could stay for the 2 hours. I lied saying I was apart of the school council so I could stay, I thought Emma and Phoebe to rat me out , but they didn't. After the 2 hours, the tryouts were over. Liam was Captain again.

I walked up to Liam and his friends.
"Amie, I'm captain again!" Liam smiles.
"Yeah! Congrats!" I smile happy for him.
"Im going to the bathroom. I'll be right back." I say.

I go into a cubical and I hear 2 girls come in.

"Ugh, Amie is so annoying."
"I know!" It was Emma and Phoebe.
"I bet she's just using Liam for popularity." Phoebe says.
"I know right. Or for his money, since her dad left her and her mum have been broke. I don't blame her dad for leaving though." Emma says, laughing.
"She's such a whore!" Phoebe laughs. The 2 girls walk out. I'm trying to hold back tears, I walked out the cubical and I wash my hands.

I walk up to Liam.
"I better get going." I say.
"Why? Are you okay?" Liam asks me.
"Yea I'm fine I'm just going to go home." I walk out the school and walk home and go straight to my room. I begin to cry why would people say such horrible things I didn't do anything wrong...right?
