Skinny love // J.P.

Chapter 10

Leah's POV

deep breathes. deep breathes.

I mentally remind myself to keep breathing steadily as I sit in science class.

"today, you'll be presenting your projects. I will give you 10 minutes to meet up with your partner and discuss the presenting plan. Now go!" the teacher instructed and everyone scurried off.

I shrunk into my desk and put my hood up. Hoping to disappear from existence.

"Hey babe, miss me?" I hear a sickly familiar voice whisper to me. I tighten my hood more, before Eric rips it off my head.

"Don't hide your beautiful face..by the way. For a first timer. You were pretty great" he smirked and I bit my tongue.

"Why aren't you talking babe?"

"Shut the fuck up and leave me alone" I muster up and shrink back down into my seat.

"Don't act like that...we can go for round 2? Don't worry, this time I won't invite my friends" I gulped nervously and he chuckled.

"Ready to present?" He smirked.

"Okay class, back to your seats. Who would like to go first?" Eric immediately raised his hand eagerly and she called us to go up.

"You can talk first babe.." Eric whispered to me on the way up.

"Stop fucking calling me that"

"Sorry...babygirl"

"Okay, start when you're ready" the teacher happily told us and we nodded.

"O-our project w-was.." I gulped nervously as I felt Eric's sickening stare burn into the side of my face.

"Looks like miss popular is nervous.." I hear a faint voice whisper to their peer.

I stand up straight and clear my throat.

"Our project was about..."

I was at lunch and everyone at my table was blabbering on as usual. Usually though, I'm into the conversation; even talking the most. But today, I found myself out of the conversation and staring into space. My mind was off elsewhere, when I see 3 familiar figures approach our table.

Eric...Dylan...Luis.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Dylan asked casually as they got to our table.

"Why are you over here?" Joel asked back, ignoring Dylan's question completely.

"We just wanted to say, how good of a fuck Leah is" Eric smiled fakely and I bit my tongue.

"W-what?" Jackie asked confused.

"You're little innocent best friend over there, fucked all three of us on the same night" Luis informed my best friends. They all looked at me like I had three eyes and I sunk down into my chair.

"L-Leah is this true?" Kyla asked but I didn't answer.

"Oh yeah, she lets anyone who asks into her pants" Luis said
