Don't Come Back To Me

The News from Hell

Again, I did not write the lines from beauty and the beast.

~~~~~

"Come on, Alex! It's a really good thing!" Morgan, Maya, Hannah and Lily said trying to make me feel better.

"How is it a good thing? I can't act!" I exclaimed before slamming my locker shut

"Well, to start with, you get to stare at Nate in rehearsels!" exclaimed Hannah. Yesterday afternoon the rest of the cast list had gone up. I found out that Nate is playing the beast which means I have to kiss him. The girls all think it is amazing that I get to kiss Nate but honestly, I don't think I can. He looks so much like Darren. I think if I do kiss him I will either start crying or punch him in the face because that is how I feel about Darren.

Maya had got the part of Chip. She was being really supportive but I could tell she was annoyed that she didn't get Belle.

"He barely knows who I am! Anyway, We're going to be late for class. See you later guys!" I waved to Hannah and Lily. Maya, Morgan and I walked to history together.

When we were in history I was almost grateful for Mr Hattam's monotone voice to distract me from thinking about Nate, Darren and the play. Well, that was until he said 'You are going to do a project in pairs about how a thing of your choice has changed since 1950."

Immediatly everyone turned to their friends to work out who was going with who.

"Wait!" Mr hattam shouted. "Did I say you could pick your partner? I have a list here with who you will be working with." everyone groaned and turned to face him.

He began reading out a list of names."...Rachel and George. Alex and Kayden....." I had no idea who Kayden was so I got up and wondered around the classroom until I found him.

"Who's Kayden?" I asked Maya. She pointed to the corner where I could see a boy with black hair. I walked over to him and he glanced at me. I saw a familiar pair of intense green eyes. It was the guy from the shop!

"Hey!" I said whilst smiling.

"Mmgh" He grunted in return. Well he's nice. I sat down next to him and got out my notebook to write down ideas for our project.

"So, I was thinking that we could do something like how cartoons and animation has changed?" he just nodded.

"Okay..... or we could do how computers have changed?" Again, all I got in reply was a nod.

" I think how animation has changed would be quite a good one because things the technology has..."

"What about how music has changed?" he mumbled, interupting me.

"That's a great idea! We could focus on how the music in the charts has changed" I was just about to start talking about the layout of the project when a extremely loud noise came from my stomach. I realised I had forgotten to eat breakfast that morning. Luckily everyone else was talking to their partner so no one heard but Kayden defninitely did. He was chuckling to himself.

"Hey! Stop laughing! I didn't-" I began before i was interupted by another growl from my stomach. This time Kayden began laughing very loudly.

"Stop it! I didn't eat breakfast! It's not my fault!"

"I'm sorry! It's just your face!" He said before bursting out laughing again.

While he was laughing, I noticed how attractive he was. He was quite slim but still muscly. He was wearing black skinny jeans and a purple hoodie. He definitely wasn't my normal type but that doesn't mean I couldn't like him. I began to wonder if he had a mate. As soon as I thought the word mate I thought of Darren which immediatly made me annoyed. I was angry that he was always in my thoughts and he would be for the rest of my life. I guess that thinking about how good Kayden looked was a good sign of moving on but Darren would never leave my mind.
