New Love | Matthew Espinosa

Chapter 23,

Monday, a couple months later;

It's three weeks into the school term and I haven't dreaded anything in my life as much as I dread school. Ella and Taylor didn't last long, as Ella cheated on Taylor with Nate. Matt and I still aren't a couple yet, but our school prom is coming up and girls get to ask the boys to prom, so. I have everything planned out, just hope no one asks him before I get to ask him.

"I'll meet you in the car!" I yelled just as I closed the door; yelling to Nash and Hayes. 

As I was searching around for a song in my phone, I heard a car door open. I immediately turned my phone off and looked at the passenger, showing a very tired Nash. I giggled and turned my car on, feeling Hayes hop in. 

"Don't look out of the window what ever you do," Hayes whispered. "Why not?" I looked out of the window to see Ella and Matt; my smile soon dropping. 

"Why don't you listen?" Hayes asked. "I have no idea," I looked at my steering wheel and shook my head. "Can we go now?" Nash huffed as he wasn't in a good mood. 

I nodded and back out of the driveway, after I pressed play on my music. Hopefully Matt isn't the guy Ella was making out with, or else I wouldn't be very happy. I sighed and tapped my fingers along the wheel, humming along to the words. 

We arrived at school, pulling up to the usual carpark, hopping out and meeting up with Hayes' friends. I locked the car up, placing my keys into the front of my backpack. 

"My friends are over there, see you guys at lunch," Hayes pushed his friends forward and wiggled his eyebrows. "See yeah," I chucked my bag onto my back and slightly smiled. 

Nash and I soon walked into the hallway, down along the lockers of students, heading towards out own lockers. As we arrived, I opened up my locker and looked at the pictures of Sammy and I, making me feel slightly upset. He had to leave early due to family issues, making me feel slightly worried as he hasn't text or called. 

I grabbed my English books and locked my locker up, looking at Nash who was watching Sarah walk down the hallway. 

"I'll see you later," Nash tapped me and followed behind Sarah. "Bye," I mumbled to myself.

I walked off and sighed, kicking the locker next to me. I wrapped my arms around my text books, as I saw Jada and Cameron leaning up against the locker in the distance. I walked up two them and got into the middle, smiling up at the both of them. 

"Hello," I smiled. "Heyo," Cameron removed his arms from Jada and settled them around his arms. 

"How are you?" Jada straightened out her top. "Well, at the beginning of the day I was fantastic. But then something happened and it dropped my mood," I said; as the two of them slowly started walking off trying to pull me along. 

"What happened?" Jada asked. "Nothing," I mumbled.

As Jada sighed and looked up at Cameron, the bell rang. Jada walked over to Cameron and gave him a kiss, linking my arm with her's afterwards. We all said bye, as Jada and I started to head off towards English. 

We walked into the classroom and headed towards the back of the class, taking our seats that we claimed. The bell rang just as I placed my bag down, looking up to the see the teacher still wasn't here yet. I slouched down into my seat and bowed my head, not wanting anything to do with anyone. About a minute later, the door flung open.
