The Boy Next Door

Chapter 4: Jack the Twat

In a way I was upset that the new person at school was a girl, especially since I've got so many lessons with her. Don't get me wrong Theodora is amazing she gets on so well with me, Poppy, Seb and the others, she is a breath of fresh air from the usual people around here. But, I don't know maybe its just, a new guy around would be better since he would not really know me, he would not know what everyone else knows, what would put him off, like what put all the other dickheads off.

He'd just know me.

Not about me.

____________•¥•____________

"Honestly! She is such a Bitch!" Theodora exclaimed to me and Poppy, about the teacher she had in the previous lesson, whenever she was annoyed her accent came across a lot stronger than how she usually spoke. Even though all three of us only had a few lessons together we made sure to meet up at morning break and lunch to discuss, well.... anything. Only twice a week we are all in the same lesson, and that was English.

But Jack was also in that lesson to.

The whispers, comments and sly jokes had all started to die down when I walked around school, after everything that had happened with Jack, but whenever we were in the same lesson someone would always earn either a 'death stare' from me and a punch or a "SHUT UP!" from Jack, because they were feeling a little bit to adventurous and cocky.

Ever since it happened everything changed, but through all that one thing stayed the same, that was Poppy. She was always there treating me like she did before it had happened, making me laugh, giving me hugs, helping me with homework, she was truly the bestest friend EVER! Tanya was different though, she changed just like everyone else, she made friends with the king twat himself, giving me funny looks, talking about me when I wasn't there, giving me harsh names like 'straightjacket Salena'.

In the end I had, had enough.

I burst like Mt Vesuvius x10.

In the canteen I could see her, sitting there, flirting, laughing, with Jack, looking at me to make sure I was watching, I tried to tell myself that it doesn't matter he's history, but I had to get it out of me.

So I did.

"Jack!" I called, signalling him to come over "JACK!" I yelled this time, infuriated because he was blatantly ignoring me. "FOR FUCKS SAKE JACK! GET YOUR COWARDLY ASS OVER HERE NOW!" This time he listened, as well as the hole canteen. Oops.

____________•¥•____________

A quiet and shy "Sorry" along with thump had bought me back to the present.

"Woah, what?" I asked aloud, confused as to what happened.

"Oh you were off in your own little world, ignoring me! May I add! So I turned to talk to Theo, and next thing you just bumped straight into me almost knocking us over in some sort of human domino chain. So I'm guessing you walked into someone, while you were in that 'little world' of yours" Poppy stated, making quotation marks with her fingers, clearly annoyed that I blanked her.

"Oh sorry Pops" I said apologetically giving her a hug.

I was the one assigned to show Theodora around so she sat next to me in every lesson we had together, which was fine but sometimes I needed a change. Normally I sit at the back by myself in English, because when I am by myself the comments and giggles decrease but, today I wasn't.

"Oooooo Salena... Jack has just walked in!" Brittany said in a mocking tone, clearly trying to infuriate me. At this point I earned a confused look of Theo.

"Oh my god really! Brittany!?" I exclaimed sarcastically, "but do you know what... I don't fucking care" I said flatly, which caused her to roll her eyes and turn back around, just as Mr Jones walked through the door.
