Not You Again

6

AMARA

Reign slept over again and the same thing kind of happened. We woke up cuddling each other which was cute. But now we have Ethics and she hasn't really spoken to me. I also didn't realise that she purposely sits in the back on Bio. The teacher doesn't call a register in that sometimes so I didn't hear her name.

Another weird thing is that I've had some boys looking at me incredibly. Like they whisper then stare at me. Some laugh too but I haven't got a clue.

Marissa wants to find out, so she decided to sit with a group of girls today in class.

Placing my hand on top of Reigns, she looks at me. "Is everything okay?"

She nods, "Yeah sorry. I've just been umm spacing out."

Then I notice her knuckles against my skin. They are slightly bruised, as I brush them with my thumb she hisses.

"What happened?"

She retracts, "Nothing. Let's just get this class over with okay?"

"Okay."

About two hours later, we leave the class. Reign immediately goes to the car park and leaves. Her car is a beauty, it's a classic car I think. Some kind of Aston Martin.

Marissa then runs towards me, "Why do you look out of breath?"

She takes a deep breath with her ginger hair falling forward, "Dan told people that you guys had sex on your date. And that he thinks you were too much so you've ended it."

"What?!"

"But then, someone punched him or something. He hasn't said anything since...he looks rough."

Hmmm.

We walk back to the dorm room just to be faced with Dan. He's stood there with guilt ridden on his face. Marissa rolls her eyes and walks inside leaving me to talk to Dan.

I can see the bruise around his eye and his lip.

"I'd like to apologise. I'll never speak about you like that again."

"Why did you do it in the first place?"

He shrugs, "The boys wanted to know...it was stupid. I enjoyed the date and I regret being so rude at the end. Can you give me another chance?"

I shake my head, "I'm sorry but you showed your true colours. I can't get past that."

He nods, "I understand. Well have a good day."

When he leaves, he bumps into Reign. I watch as the two stare at each other and then Dan practically runs off.

"Did you do that to him?"

She shrugs, "And if I did?"

I approach her, "I appreciate you looking out for me but don't do it so violently."

"Fine. Next time I'll let him tell the whole school you're a frigid bitch. Or a full on slut."

It hits a nerve hearing the first insult, "Whatever."

I walk off hearing her call my name, but ignoring it. Once I get into my room, I lay on my bed. I don't usually care about name calling but she didn't have to say it so harshly.

A few knocks on the door then Marissa opens it. Reign is stood there and whispers something to her. Marissa nods and leaves with a small smile.

As soon as the door closes, Reign walks towards me and sits beside me.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so rude...he just pissed me off. He was so smug about it and I lashed out."

"You could have gotten kicked out!"
