That Australian Boy

2

Bella's POV

I sit in my gym class on the floor and the coach rambles about the year. "Ok so everyone will be assigned a partner..." He says while flipping through papers. Everyone groans in unison over the partner. "Will we have boy boy and girl girl or boy boy and girl boy?" The preppy cheerleader says. Everyone looks at the blonde girl in confusion. "Boy girl" Coach says.

"Alright! As we do this you will stand say your name age and grade and uh..." He runs out of words and the girl who bullies me smirks and says. "ABOUT OUR BIRTH FAMILIES" she yells as she smirks at me and that punk boy who was on the bus looks over at her laughing at me. I look down and the coach starts in alphabetical order.

"Okay Haynes!" He yells and I stand up. "Im Bella uh im 16 and im in 11th" I say trying to avoid my story. "And your family?" The girl smiles. "Bells its fine don't talk if you don't want to" My friend Dylan says. "No I will" I stand taller. "When I was 2 my parents were arrested for drugs and child abuse so I was shuffled around from foster home to foster home but when I was 8 I moved here with my moms as my foster parents and now were wrapping up the adoption stuff......Oh and I have a couple other siblings who were adopted as well" I say all at once. Mariah (the girl who bullies me) starts laughing but nobody else is except her friends.

Before paring up class ends and I go to my other classes. Finally I go to my locker to pack my stuff."Im luke" A deep Australian voice says as he leans against the locker beside mine. "Thats great you know your name" I snap still annoyed with his comment earlier. "Wow you can be a bitch huh?" He asks. "Its a gift" I roll my eyes thinking why the fuck cant he leave me alone? "Wanna go out tonight?" He asks.

I remember he heard my story fuck im not dating him cause of a sob story!

"Listen im not dating you cause of my stupid foster life" I get even more pissed off when I see her right behind him. ''Leave me alone" I mumble and walk off outside to the bus and he gets on also. He sits next to me sense each seat is full.

"Listen to me" He says ripping my ear bud out. "What the hell?!" I snap. "Is that blink?" He asks. "Ya so?" I question. "I love blink 182!" He smiles. "Whats your favorite song?" He asks. "Stockholm Syndrome" I reply. "Cool" He says.

He stands up and hands me a piece of paper with his number on it. "Text me babe" He winks and walks off. "Im not his babe" I mutter.

I get off the bus being the first one in the house as the rest follow. "Mom left a note!" Jake yells as everyone rushes to get food or to the tv. "What and you cant read it?'' I ask him. He shuts the fridge and takes the note away from me. "BELLA IS A BITCH" He yells. "I read it!!!" He says. "Smartass" I say hitting his arm. I take the note and read it.

*Hey kiddos! Can one of you pick up the little ones off the bus. Me and mom are busy I don't know when will be home money is on counter for pizza* I raise my eyebrow and hand the note for Jal to read. "Not like moms handwriting" I say as I take a couple pieces of goldfish into my hand from blakes bowl. "Hey!" He says. I ignore him walking over to my sister Jal. "Your right......" She says. "If they aren't back by tomorrow nobody goes to school and we call 911" She says and I nod. "Ill go tell the others" Blake says walking into the kitchen.
