When We're Alone

Chapter 5

*Hayden*

"Something urgent huh?" A voice hisses from behind me.

I don't move, it's Lucas. He sounds angry, he must know. Bracing myself I turn around to face him. He looked so tall compare to me, much taller than Leroy, much broader than Leroy and much handsome than Leroy. Ok, the last bit was a lie.

"What?" I say nervously, hoping Leroy didn't tell him I was with him on Friday night.

He shrugs walking in front of me. "Being with Leroy is urgent?" Lucas scoffs.

I shrug, gulping. I didn't know what to say, yes? No? Maybe? "I'm sorry, he needed me. I couldn't exactly leave him in the house alone, he had already sat down." I say, shrugging again in my defence.

"And his royal ass couldn't get up and leave?" Lucas raises his eye brow, patronising me.

"I said I'm sorry, can we drop it?" I say, rolling my eyes, mad at Leroy for telling Lucas although he said he wouldn't.

"Whatever, sit with me in history?" Lucas asks, with a half-smile.

"Sure." I mummer. Since when was he in my history class? He gives me a nod and walks off, there was only three minutes till sixth period, seeing as I couldn't talk to Leroy in history even though he's in my class, I decide to walk over to his locker.

Feeling a little anxious, and nervous walking up to him because of the fact I was in love with him, and because his best friend's Elmo and Troy was with him, along with some of the other guys.

"You said you wouldn't tell, and you just go ahead and tell? What the hell is wrong with you, I always knew your airhead had a brain that's size of a pea." I say in an aggravated tone, giving him a glare.

"What? You think I give a shit about you? I only hung out with you, so you don't go on your stupid date with that Lucas kid, and try to climb your way through the popularity ladder." Leroy says whilst chuckling.

I don't say anything; I don't even look at him because every word of his hit me like a knife in my heart. Did he really just say that? After opening up to me, and talking to me nicely and spending time with me, he just changes and hates me? Continuously blinking to get rid of the tears that had gathered up in my eyes, I swallow the feeling. Did he really hate me that much because my mom was his 'new' mom?

"What no smart answer, mamacita?" Leroy let's out a little laugh, some of the others laugh with him, but his two best friends give him a little nudge, I'm sure they could see how my face changed, and I'm sure Leroy didn't care.

"No you're too stupid to insult." I say, before walking away and out of the building at the sound of the bell, and walking into the history block because sixth lesson had just started.

Lucas was already sitting, so I go and sit next him on the desk beside him. "Hey." I say with a small smile.

He smiles at me in response. After a few seconds, Isaac walks in as well, with Eden behind him. They both walk past me, acknowledging me by ruffling my hair, and me ducking away.

"Hurry up and sit down please." Mr Ross says to the people coming inside, Leroy happens to be one of them. I had so much rage for him right now, but I couldn't help but notice how hot he looked with his black jeans hanging loosely at his waste, with his grey sweatshirt.

Leroy sits in front of me, although he usually sits at the back of the class with Elmo and Troy, but this time Leroy sat apart from them. Elmo was a little shorter than Leroy, just a few inches taller than me. You can imagine how cute he was, but not the type of cute you'd date when he had a best friend like Leroy.
