Collide

Caught : Chapter 2

Next Day:

I walk through the halls with my bag glued to my side and with my head down. When I made it to my locker I took a deep breath, almost as if I hadn't breathed since I got on campus. "Hey, Daisy." Will says suddenly appearing in front of me. "Will, my name is Bella. For the last time." I sigh opening my locker. "So, how's life?" He asks folding his arms across his chest. "It was much better before you arrived. Lets put it that way." I smiled evilly. "You know what, Bambi? That really hurt." He said putting his hand on his heart. "Oh you have a heart? Oh my mistake, I thought you didn't." I said sarcastically, while grabbing my books.

"And why do you assume that?" He says leaning against the lockers. "Well, if I do remember correctly, you did call my boyfriend gay." I say shutting my locker. "Your ex boyfriend." He states, and I roll my eyes as I start to walk and he walks with me. "What's up with you two? Did you give him a gobby and now your attached?" I turned to him and stared at him, "Is that really all you think about?" I ask annoyed. He smirks and shrugs his shoulders; fuckboy. "Just because you've had sex with everyone, doesn't mean that we all live the same sex filled life as you do." I say as we come to homeroom. "Not everyone." He sighs, and I know what he means; but I remain silent.

"Can I make it up to you?" He asks as we sit down.

"For what?"

"For calling your ex gay."

"And how would you do that?"

"Whatever you want." He smiles, I gawk before pulling out my book.

"I could get you both together again?"

I turn to him with my eyes wide, "Dude, what the hell?"

He raises his hands in defense.

"No way." I add.

"Bell, I know you still like him."

"You don't know me." I remind him.

"Really?"

"Really." I confirm.

After that he stays silent until the bell goes for the end of homeroom. As I pick up my bag he walks directly behind me, I politely say goodbye to the teacher and I hear Will mimic my voice softly. As we enter the hall I am about to go along my way to English literature, Will grabs my hand. I turn to him, "What?" I groan, throwing my head backwards. He grins, "Look who it is." I turn to look around the crowded hallway and surely I see the emerald eyes staring back at me. Ben. The look of sadness falls over his face and I look at him for what seems like an eternity. I turn to Will and shake my head, "Will, don't do this." I say with plead in my voice. "I'm helping you." He whispers and pulls me into his strong built arms, his embrace curing around my waist as my head falls naturally into the crook of his neck. "What are you doing?" I ask nervously. "He needs to think he has competition." He says as his hair tickles my face. He slowly lets go and I don't dare look at Ben. "Laters, Baby." He says cupping my face and turns away walking into the crowded hallway until I can no longer see him.

"Isn't it strange how life can change within the flicker of the sweetest smile?" Was the question that Jamie Lawson asked through the singing in my earphones.

'Yes it is.' I answered in my head, as I jotted down answers to my science booklet. My hand vigorously wrote away quickly as songs changed every so often. Keely sat beside me and pulled out my earphone, "Bell! You didn't tell me Will hugged you!!!" He looked at me shocked. "Will?" I asked completely blanking out. "Will, Brunet beauty. Come on, Bell don't play dumb! I need to know everything!" She says intrigued. Oh, Will. "There isn't much to tell." I grumbled. "Um, Bella? Hello? Is that you?" She asks waving her hand in front of me. "He is just another fuckboy, Keely. Don't get too excited." I said, still annoyed about the remark he made about Ben. "What did he do?" Keely asked empathetically. I sighed, "He called Ben gay." Keely frowns, "What the hell? Ben is like the straightest person I know?" She says sweeping her fringe away from her face. I nodded and looked down at my paper, "Well there is always next time." Keely says with a smile. I'm really sick of people saying that. "What about we go to Gelato after school? I'll get you mango, my shout." She beams taking out her phone. "Yeah okay." I smile lightly back.
