Zoe

Out of one relationship and into another. That's just how it had always worked for me. I never saw a point in living if I didn't share that life with someone. I needed to be with someone all the time or I'd end up thinking about my past and that isn't something that needs to happen.

The labels I'm given at the worst part of this system. Slut, whore, bitch. Any insult I've been given. It doesn't effect me any more, I just walk away. The girls aren't the ones giving me these names either, it's the boys that I've rejected. I might go from one relationship to another, but I would never cheat on someone.

It seems that from a young age, I've had a line up of boys chasing after me. Which might seem cool to a normal girl, but I hate the attention I get. Especially from the football team. They all seem to find it funny to see who can get in my pants first. I may have had quite a few boyfriends but I'm a virgin. I may wear Daisy Dukes and crop tops with heels but I am smart.

I don't know why I do this, but I feel the need to make people get to know me before judging and if they don't then are just pricks. I hate when people do it. It pisses me right off and I feel the need to punch them in the face.

The boy I'm currently with supports the decisions I've made with what I wear, my school life, my family life. I just need him to support the way I act, which is the one thing he hates me doing. I'm an angel but talk shit and I'm not afraid to throw a punch.

His name is Jack. He's sweet and smart and cute but he's blind to the things people say about us. He was my childhood neighbour and we grew quite close over one summer but then he moved. He recently moved moved back and now I'm with him. I don't exactly remember how but apparently it was in front of our families which makes me cringe at the thought. Was I drunk and that's why I don't remember? Probably. But when I woke up in his arms in my party dress, I knew we were together. He said he would never take advantage of me when I'm drunk so I think I am still a virgin and until I can remember if I have sex than I will remain a virgin.

I'm now sitting in the library reading a book about two soccer players in love but ones older and in college and the others in his last year of high school. It's quite romantic and cute but Jack judges me for reading these types of books.

I suddenly feel a presence next to me and I look over to the other side of the reading couch and he's reading the first book in the trilogy I'm also reading. I smile and look back to the book. After 5 minutes of quick glances we catch each other's eyes and I blush like mad. No boy has ever made me feel this way so what the hell is going on.

"Hi, I'm Zoe, nice book" I say and he chuckles.

"Hi, I'm Alfie, yeah it's good, is that the second one?" Omg his voice is amazing.

"Yeah, I like the second edition covers better than the first" I say trying to spark conversation.

"I like these ones too, my friends think I'm strange for reading these books but I like them better than twilight or those ones. These just feel more real" omg and he's smart.

"Yeah, my boyfriend doesn't like the books I read but I don't care" I say looking back at the book.

"Wait, is Jack your boyfriend?" He asks and I feel my heart drop.

"Yes" I say gulping.

"He's the one that bullies me for reading, just in general. He is such an ass"

"Yeah, he is" I agree hiding my arms, he doesn't need to see my bruises and cuts.

"Then, why are you with him?" He isn't trying to push me and unlike everyone else, he isn't forcing me to answer.
