The Summer I Got Hot {L.H} ~ Book 1

Chapted sixteen

I avoided Luke like the plague. Every time I seen him I quietly stopped in my tracks and turned around. Looking at me; he'd laugh, and with a smug look in his face he would make some comment to Calum, Michael or Ashton and they would giggle like a bunch of preteens in the shopping mall.
He was making me feel uncomfortable and he knew it.

When I'd arrived home, it didn't get much better. The car bill had came through. And there was no way I could afford that. No one else was in the house and so I allowed myself a giant s scream of frustration before finding my composure and calmly walking to my room.
I dumped my things down on the bed and flopped onto the mattress. What a day.

The more I thought about it, the more used and disrespected I felt. How dare he and his friends place some kind of bet on me. I felt stupid and I almost felt abused; like he'd taken advantage of me. For one teeny tiny second I actually thought maybe he liked me. Maybe I could forgive him and we could move on and develop some sort of mutual respect for one another. But all he had done was use me. I had trusted him. I'd barely even kissed a boy properly before, and there I was having a full on make out sessions, letting him sleep in my bed, going against all my parents wishes and going out with him and his dumb friends, smoking joints and drinking alcohol, and then in the girls bathroom this morning; what the hell was that?

Loud knocking came from my front door and I jumped up to see who it was. Rushing out my room, I opened up the front door to find Jade standing on my front porch; car keys in hand and slapping on some chewing gum.

"Hey babe," she grinned, "how you feeling today?" She laughed and showed her pearly whites. The brilliant purple hair I'd met on Saturday was now a dark blue colour and most of her outfit was leather. Can't be good in this heat. Although Jade looks like the kind of person who doesn't have much flaws. 

I shuffled, almost feeling nervous. "Yeah, I'm good how are you?" I replied.

"I'm great, want to come hang out? I'm meeting some of the guys and you made an impression on Saturday. That was cool what you did for the guys." She flicked her hair behind her shoulder and leant against the door frame.

"I can't, I'm grounded." I told her.

"Come on, live a little. We won't be long." What the hell did I have to lose? Plus I wanted to show Luke up big time. I didn't even bother to grab my phone. I simply pulled the door shut behind me, and once I heard the click I followed her into the red car that now that I wasn't sitting nervously on someone's lap, I could notice all the crap that was in it. Empty packets and bottles swam around my feet, there was a old sheet on the back seat that I didn't even want to know what it was covered in and the dashboard was covered in leaflets and a load of shit that would irritate the hell out of me.

"So, how'd it go with Luke?"

Hey guys

Sorry this is so short, it's just a filler chapter until the next one where something big may happen!

Anyway, what do you all think will happen next? I'd love to hear your opinions.
