Wow! Haven't updated in a while... just getting back into the story, here's an update!

-

The bell for the end of home room sounded causing everyone to jump out of their seats and step into the crowded corridors. Flinging my bag over my shoulder I got to the door when Mr Walker called me back in.

“I’ll catch up with you” I smiled to Erin as she walked off to Science. Mr Walker got out of his seat as I made my way towards him, instead of stopping in front of me he carried on walking to the door and closed it.

“About the weekend…” He began as I turned towards him.

“Don’t worry I haven’t told anyone and I don’t plan to either” Great he’s just got me in here to cover his own back and embarrass me. Oh why did I have to get so drunk?

“I haven’t kept you behind to make sure my back is covered, I’m not bothered about that… I’m more worried about your safety… I want to know who was chasing you”

“I uh- I… haven’t you got a class now?” I turned to leave but he grabbed my wrist. I looked between him and my wrist questiongly and he let go.

“Sorry” He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly “And to answer your question, no, I haven’t got a lesson I’m meant to be coaching the football team… so are you going to tell me who it was?”

“I can’t tell you who it was because I have no idea who it was” I sighed.

“What about your ex-boyfriend?”

“I don’t think… I don’t know” I hadn’t really thought too deep into who it had been the other night chasing me. It hadn’t even crossed my mind that it could have been Mark. I wouldn’t put it past him.

“I really need to get to lesson”

“Yeah, course” Mr Walker walked to his desk wrote something down “Who have you got now?”

“Mr Trevino”

“This should keep him off of your back” He smiled giving me a note.

“Thanks” I smiled before going to science.

I was ten minutes late. Great… knocking on Mr Trevino’s door before walking in I was thankful to see that everybody was already working on their class projects. Mr Trevino looked at me disapprovingly as I walked towards him.

“Leila why are you ten minutes late to my lesson?”

“Here” I said handing him the note. I hadn’t even read what Mr Walker had written; my mind was just occupied with the fact that it could have been Mark the other night. He’s not that insane though… is he? Well he did try too… and if it wasn’t for Mr Walker he would have.

“That’s fine Leila” Mr Trevino smiled.  Turning I searched the room for Jordan he was sat in the same place as always and was busy working on our project. Behind him were Erin and George. Erin had her head poked up and looking towards me like a curious meerkat. As I sat down Jordan looked up at me, and like Mr Trevino had done just a minute ago, he gave me a disapproving look.

“Leila I hope you’re not going to leave this project all down to me” Urgh. Jordan could be the nicest boy on earth sometimes but he could also be the snottiest.

“Of course I’m not Jordan”

“I hope not” He added not looking up from the page he was writing on.

“Lei… Lei… Leila… Leeeeila” I heard Erin whispering behind me.

“Yes Erin” I turned round with an amused look on my face. She looked at me expectantly.
