Faking It

Chapter 11: Problems

Chapter 11

Problems

I wake up the next morning to someone shaking me. I swat them away with my hand and pull the covers closer to my body.

Someone hits me in the head and whispers, "Hope, get up."

I groan, "Wha- what do you want? Go away."

Someone sighs, and I feel the covers ripped off me exposing me to the cold air. I squint at the figure standing in front of me and see Faith standing there with her makeup on and fully dressed.

She rolls her eyes, "Everyone else may have graduated, but we have not. It is Monday, and we need to go to school."

I gasp and jump out of bed running to the closet.

She walks over to me and laughs, "Go get your makeup on, and I will deal with your clothes."

"Thank you, Faith!" I yell running to the bathroom.

I see Zayn move in bed and he squints towards the light of the bathroom, "What the hell are you doing?"

I shuffle through the drawers looking for my makeup, "I have school."

He rolls back over, "Well, be quiet."

I quickly wash my face and finish my makeup. I go back into the bed room and Faith holds out my clothes. I slip on my black skinny jeans and pull my navy blue tight t-shirt over my head. Faith tosses me my favorite black hoodie and I put it on as I run down the stairs. She goes to the kitchen and comes out with a protein bar. I slip my shoes on and follow Faith out to our car. When we get to a red light she pulls out her phone and hands it to me, "Explain."

I look at the screen and the picture of Zayn and I kissing is on it, "Well..." I basically give her a run down of the date and we quickly arrive at school. We step out and walk through the parking lot. I quickly stop by my locker and meet Faith at my next class. We sit in the back corner and the teacher was running late so she turns to me, "So, what was it like?"

I look up from my notebook that I had just pulled out, "What was what like?"

She rolls her eyes dramatically, "The kiss!"

I shush her quickly, "Will you shut up?!"

Faith glares at me, "Tell me and I will."

I shrug casually, "It wasn't like anything, really. It was just a kiss."

Her face falls and her shoulders slump, "That's it?"

I shrug, "That's it."

She turns back around as more students file in. I lick my lips and pull out my phone. I scroll through twitter and eventually get bored. Faith spins around, "What did he taste like?"

My brow furrows and I say slowly, "Did you just ask me how he tasted?"

She nods, "Yes."

I skake my head, "You are so weird."

Faith continues to stare at me while she waits for an answer. I sigh, "Coffee and cigarettes."

She smiles and opens her mouth before I interupt, "Say nothing."

She laughs and then leans closer to me, "Also, everyone is staring at you." I look up and see Taylor on the other side of the room whispering in a group as she contiuously glances over at me.

I slide down in my chair and groan,"I didn't even think about how this all would effect me."

I hear the click of heels walk over to me, but I continue to finish the homework I forgot to do over the weekend. I see her standing infront of me, but I continue to write.
