My Life Would Suck Without You - COMPLETED

My Life Would Suck Without You - 35

This part is quite short but its a bit of a breakthrough for the story....

Sorry my PC broke (hence the lack of updates) but I have a new one... I have a night shift tonight so I will try and get a few chapters typed up

This story is getting quite close to the end so I've already started planning a few other stories, I may post a chapter from one of them to test reactions...

Please comment....

Being the topic of conversation at school seemed to be a regular occurance for me now

Sara Jeffree and her friends had to be the worst whisperers ever, I think people who weren't even in our art class could hear their so called private discussion

I felt a tap on my back and rolled my eyes, turning in my seat to see what they wanted

"So are you and Ricky like a couple now or what?" Sara asked me

I'd love to know what the hell it had to do with her...

"We're just friends" I shrugged

"I don't make out in closets with my friends topless" one of Saras friends giggled. I think her name was Jade.

So Vinnie Levern was a big blabbermouth and had spread the news about finding us in the closet, as with all high school gossip it had got distorted and people were saying that I'd been topless too

"You shouldn't believe everything you're told" I said pulling a face

Okay so it was half true seeing as Ricky had been topless but they didn't need to know that

"You were so jealous the other night when I went out with Ricky" Sara said

She wasn't even saying it in a bitchy way, in fact she looked like she felt sorry for me

"If you like him why don't you two get together?" the girl sat on the other side of Sara suggested as if nobody had considered it a possibility

"We're happy as friends"

I didn't even know if this was the truth anymore. All day Sunday I had been thinking about our seven perfect, amazing, fantastical, breathtaking minutes in heaven yet when Ricky had come round to see if I wanted to hang out I'd ran into my bathroom and shouted that I was in the bath and would ring him later.

I didn't.

I was scared about the fact that I was thinking maybe I did want to be more than friends; though the ever present nagging thought remained in my mind that if we did become a couple and it didn't work out. I was also scared to be alone with him because I knew now that I probably wouldn't be able to control myself.

We'd been silent on the way to school with Rhea chatting incessantly as usual to fill the silence.

"I think you just like having boys want you" Jade said, unlike Sara she did sound bitchy, "Eugene, Erik, Luke, Ricky, probably Justin.... you just like leading them on and having them want you"

I gritted my teeth, preparing to rant at her but was distracted by Mr Kay coming to look at their work

I narrowed my eyes at Jade, before turning back around

So thats what people thought, that I just liked leading boys along. 

If only they knew

At lunch we were at our usual outside spot. It had been cold and windy that morning but the sun had come out to play so like many others we were making the most of it
