A Popularity Project Gone Wrong

Chapter Twelve

I couldn't stop the tears were bursting out of my eyes and no matter how much I wiped my tears and my glasses, they seem to be unstoppable like a waterfall. I didn't even care that I didn't have a ride home, I didn't mind walking home anyway. The pretty sun was shining down on us and I frowned, I wish I was happy like the sun. 

While I was walking, my phone began to ring. I sighed, who could that be? I wasn't in the mood of talking. I opened my brown bag and fished out my cell which kept ringing like crazy. Checking the ID, I noticed it was Jeremy. Why was calling me for?! He hurt me and I didn't want to talk him again,ever. So I pressed the "ignore" button and switched off my phone. After throwing it back into my bag, I continued to walk as my shoes hit the ground softly. 

Walking with nothing to do I fished out my headphones and plugged up my phone. I turned on "Pandora" and smiled happily, music always calmed even when I was sad. 

And I hurt myself for hurting you-

Oops, I don't want to listen to this one!

Putting my defenses up because I don't wanna fall in love if I ever did that I think I would have a heart attack-

No, this song wasn't the best to listen to when you lost one of your friends.

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend-

Ugh, you gotta be kidding, I thought furiously as I took out my headphones threw them in my bag as tears were welting in my eyes. I cannot help this pain, Jeremy betraying me hurt me so badly that I felt that my heart was almost empty. He was such a great friend, a boy who only understood me. 

Sighing, I pulled out my phone and stared at Jer's contact. Should I call him, should I give him a chance to explain? Maybe I should, I thought. I walked to a bench and plopped down pressing my finger on the "call' button. 

As I put my phone against my ear, someone pulled my arm which caused me to scream and dropped my phone. I turned to see Keith who was grinning at me evilly. "No! Let go off me!" I yelled at him in horror. 

"Ser-Serena?! You alright?!" Jeremy called from my phone as I kept screaming as he tightened his grasp around me.

"Jer! Help-Keith!!!" I screamed. 

Keith grabbed my phone and turned it off which caused me to angrily to kick him. "Get off of me!" I repeated. 

"So it's true? You do wear glasses huh? Aww, what a pretty nerd you are!" Keith cooed in my arm as he tightened his grasp around my arm.

"I-I-I-

"Don't worry Serena, your little Jer would never betray you" Keith hissed jealously, "Cassidy blackmailed him so there's no need for tears."

"W-what?!" I hollered. Oh no! I shouldn't have yelled at Jeremy then, it was all a mistake! He was being blackmailed and I didn't even give him a chance to explain. Stupid, stupid, me!

"Yes, now you're coming with me!" Keith whispered in my ear as he tossed me over his shoulder. 

"W-what?! No, put me down!" I screamed as I hit his back repeatedly, "Put me down!"

"Never, you're mine Serena!" Keith whispered happily my ear as he threw me his car and locked all the doors. 

"Get me out here!" I screamed banging on the windows.

"Hah, no one can here you in here so you better stop that" He warned.

"Keith, what's wrong with you?! You cannot play with every girl in the school!" I screamed at him, "I hate you!"
