Stay Strong

[3]

Here's the 3rd part. I decided to use Bella Thorne, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato as the other girls. Thanks for the suggestions @Forever1D53 and @AnneJanssen :)

I huff and turn around, ready for another rude comment from one of the girls. Paris is standing in front of me with the rest of the girls behind her. I take a moment to look at what she's wearing and mentally gag. Her mini skirt barely covers her 'tanned' legs. I mean, you could carve them and use them for outside your house on Halloween!

She's wearing bright pink heels that make her tower over me, another reason why she feels intimidating, because she looks down at me. If she didn't wear heels we wouldn't have such a height difference. Her legs compared to the rest of her body that is visible is about three shades maybe. Her arms are the same colour as her legs, but her hands and face, slightly different.

The way she wears makeup is shocking. When you look at her from the side, you can see where her foundation stops. I honestly can't understand how boys can still be attracted to her when her face looks like that.

Even though Cassidy is Ross' girlfriend, (at the moment), Caitlin is the main girl like Ross is the main guy. She will talk the most and the rest will either make small comments or just snigger behind her, then follow them when she clicks her magic fingers.

I wish I could have the confidence to say these comments to her, but till I find the courage, I'll tell them to myself.

I hug the books in my hands and face the floor because I'm too afraid to talk.

"Aww, has the cat got your tongue?" she pouts through a smirk while the girls giggle. I open my mouth to attempt to reply, but nothing but a quiet noise comes out.

"What was that? Were you going to say something?" she asks, bending down and leaning close to my already red face. I stare at the ground in silence.

"Thought so" she grins. Clicking her fingers twice, they all walk away, Paris' blonde curly locks whipping me in the face. Once I'm sure they're gone, I stand up straight and push my glasses up from the tip of my nose.

The school bell rings and I hurry to get my books and dash to class. It's upstairs and this class starts as soon as the bell sounds. The teacher is very strict.

I stumble up the flight of stares and stand in the doorway. I lightly knock on the open door and bite my lip, afraid of what the teachers reaction is going to be.

"Laura, late" he snaps and gives me a stern look. I walk swiftly to my seat at the back of the class, hearing whispers from behind. "Look at those twigs go" Caitlin mocks. I trip over a familiar pair of bright pink heels and drop my bag. Ross' desk breaks my fall.

"Careful where you step four eyes. I think you need a new pair of glasses" Luke chuckles. "Have a nice trip?" Chloe sniggers. I look up to see Ross holding back a laugh, but also looking like he feels sorry for me. He bends down to retrieve the books that fell out and puts them back in. He holds my rucksack in front of my face, gesturing for me to take it. I slip it back on my shoulder and sit down next to him.

If I wasn't dreaming, Ross Lynch actually helped me with something. The guy who taunts and teases me the most out of his friends decides that he suddenly feels sorry for me. If that is the case, he can think again.

-Ross' POV-

Laura trips over Paris' heel and stumbles into my desk. At first I find it funny, but when I see everyone laughing at her and her face turning a bright shade of pink, my heart sinks. It reminds me of something that happened to me before I moved schools. Oh yeah, I didn't tell you that I've been to three primary schools and this is my second high school.

*flashback*

"Ross be careful! You don't want to fall and crack your glasses!" Billy, the biggest bully in school, teased, causing his friends to chuckle behind me. I fell into this girls desk and heard silly comments as I felt my cheeks warm up. I shamefully took my seat and the embarrassment lived on for the rest of the day. You wouldn't believe how many jokes formed from that one, small moment in class. It might sound like something silly that has happened to everyone at one point in their life, but for me it was humiliating.

*end of flashback*

She took her seat shamefully and something I have never felt towards Laura before I now feel. Guilt. I actually feel guilty and I didn't make a comment this time. But that memory that returned made me realise how I felt, and how Laura feels right now.

When she fell onto my desk her glasses slipped down revealing her eyes. I looked up and her brown orbs shone as her face turned red. I never noticed how nice her eyes were and how cute she looks when she blushes. Wait, cute? No, no, I can't think Laura is cute. It may sound shallow and self centred, but if I start to like Laura, even as a friend, my reputation will be ruined. I'll go back to being  dorky and lame, but most of all unpopular. That can't happen to me! I will never forgive myself.

I glance at Laura who's already taking notes from the board and sigh. I do feel sorry for her. Maybe I should back off a bit and let the others tease her rather than me. I'll just snigger in the background while the others take charge. At least she doesn't cut like I used to. If she does, I don't think I could ever make one mean comment again.

I thought this chapter was quite boring sorry! They'll get better, I was tired tonight x

Thanks for reading! Vote, comment and enjoy! :) x
