I walk to school with Poppy the next day, "I can't believe Steph and Jason went off together like that!" She laughs.
"It was so cliché." I joke.
"Did Noah talk to you much?" She asks.
"Yeah, we chatted about the rumours going round and about football when Morgan wasn't talking about herself."
"Did Ellis say anything about me?" She raises her eyebrows.
"Not that I remember."
"Oh, okay." Her face drops a little. I wish I could have said that he didn't shut up about her, but then that wouldn't be that truth. "It doesn't matter, I spoke to him on the phone last night for ages."
"You did? That's great!"
"I'm going to his house after school today!" I punch her softly on the arm.
"Adda girl!"
"I'm super excited." She grins.
"Don't feel like you owe him anything. Just because you went there once doesn't mean that you need to go there again." I remind her.
"Alright mom, I think I'll be fine." She laughs.
"You know I'm just looking out for you."
"I know, Kimmi." She links my arm with me and plants a soft kiss on my cheek.
We arrive at school and the day is fairly average, or at least as average as it can be nowadays with all of the glances as people recognize me as 'that girl who slept with Noah McConnell'. The day comes to an end, I make one last trip to my locker before the weekend. As I shut the door I see Owen's face.
"Woah, what do you want?"
"I just wanted to say sorry for Saturday night." He doesn't look very sincere but I didn't expect to get an apology out of him at all so I decide to forgive and forget.
"Don't worry about it, no hard feelings, have a good one." I turn to walk away but suddenly feel his hand grip on my shoulder. I turn to face him. "Is there something else you want, Owen?"
"Well, since you're giving it away," he inches closer to me, "I figured I could get some of that action?" Did the words I'm hearing seriously just come out of his mouth? I stand there stunned for a few moments unsure what to do next. My head may not know how to react, apparently my body does. The next second my hand is flying through the air and I slap Owen across the face with a loud thwack.
His eyes widen as he cups his cheek with his hand. I don't see what happens next because I spin on my heels and make my way through the corridor faster than 123. This week, right now especially, has been so surreal it could easily just be a dream. Boy do I wanna wake up from it.
