Love Circle

Chapter 9

I wake up, I haven't spoken to Liam at all. I go downstairs, to my surprise my mum isn't here. She normally leaves at 9am to head off to work. I decide to go upstairs and check my phone. Its 10:30 am! School started 3 hours ago, i have a text message from my mum.

—

Mum:
Mum: I'm sorry i didn't wake you up, you seemed you needed the rest. When you get up just head to school.

After reading the message I immediately get dressed and leave the house.

I arrive at school, as I walk through the door, everyones eyes turn on me.
"Amie, you're late." Mr Brown says.
"Sorry sir, overslept." I say. Mr brown sighs, "I'll let you off just this once." I go to my seat and sit down.

I roll my eyes at Liam.
"Good morning to you too, sleeping beauty." Liam smirks. I just scoff at his awful attempt to start a conversation. "Wow, even with an extra 3 hours of sleep, you're still miserable." Liam jokes.
"So you're not going to say sorry, I guess." I say ignoring his stupid comment.
"Say sorry about what, exactly?" Is he seriously acting like he doesn't know.
"You literally got mad at me, all because I was helping Nate." I look at him. He doesn't reply. Of course he's going to ignore the subject.

"Right, as everybody knows. The school trip is in the October half term. Which is a month from now." Mr Brown reminds everyone.

I begin to hangout with Nate more and more. He's really nice. I told him everything what happened since year 7. He wanted to make sure him being friends with Sam wouldn't be awkward. I told him no because he can be friend with whoever he wants.

A week before the school trip, I was talking to Nate.
"Have you seriously not found someone to share a room with?" Nate said.
"Nope." I reply.
"So what, you're gonna have you're own room?" Nate looks at me.
"Thats the plan." I smile.
"You really need to find some more friends! I've been here for a month and I've made 2 friends already!" Nate says.
"I have made A friend! Thats a huge improvement for me." I joke. Nate laughs.
"What about Lilah?" Nate asks. "Does she have a partner?"
"Yeah, Amber Samuel." I reply.
"Hmm, Jazzy?" He looks at me.
"I'm pretty sure she's sharing a room with Alice, her cousin." I reply.
The bell rings, me and Nate get off the bench thats in the Center.
"Amie, I just want you to be happy. Please, on the trip...try and socialize?" Nate asks.
"Fine..." I say, rolling my eyes. Nate smiles.
"Come on we're going to be late for class!" Nate says dragging me.

"Alright everyone, the trip is in a week! I have got who you are sharing rooms with." Mr Brown announces. "People that have either picked someone, but that person hasn't picked them, they won't be sharing a room." Mr Brown explains. "Anyone that was hoping to have there own room, will not." He looks at me, I guess I'm sharing a room after all.

Mr brown hands out what room we will be in and who we are sharing with.

Me and Liam get ours.
"You've got to be joking!" I say looking at the paper.
"Guess you're sharing a room with me, princess." Liam chuckles.
"I swear to god, if you call me a disney princess or princess, I will personally murder you in your sleep." I glare at him.
"Don't worry, you won't." Liam chuckles.
"What makes you think that?" I ask, looking at him.
"You'll pull a sleeping beauty again." Liam chuckles once more, before leaning back on his chair. I really am starting to hate this guy again. I don't think I can actually spend 4 days with him, never mind sharing the same room.
