Trying To Save Hope

Chapter 2

Hopes POV

About 5 minutes later I pulled into the school parking lot and climbed out of my car. I walked to my locker and pulled my books out.

"Hey Hope!" My friend Leah greeted me. Let me tell you a little about Leah, first of all we've known each other for 3 years. She had been the new girl who everyone avoided like the plague, everyone except me who had been willing to walk her around school. Ever since then we've been friends.

The second thing you should know about Leah is that her real name is Azalea,but u better not call her that. If you do lets just say...I hope you can live with only one arm, and leg.

"Hey Leah." I answered turning to greet her. Her red hair was tied up in a pony tail, she wore black t-shirt and short.

"So whats up with you and Zach?" She asked, completely oblivious to what has been happening to me.

"We're doing great." I lied, I use to hate to lie but now they rolled of my tongue 24/7.

"Aww that's awesome." She said excitedly.

"Uh huh." I answered looking around, begging for something to change the subject with, and for once I got what I wanted.

"Hey guys what you talking about?" I turned to see my best friend Nick.

"Nick." I squealed and hugged him. I was really excited to see him, the longest we've gone without seeing each other was about 3 days, and we haven't seen each other in a week due to the fact he had been sick.

"I see your feeling better." I said happily.

"Yup, you have no idea how relieved I am!" He said giving me his adorable lopsided grin. I smiled back.

"So what did I miss?" He asked leaning up against the lockers.

"Well-" I started but was cut off.

"Hey babe." I cringed as I heard that disgusting voice greet me then snaked his gross arm around my waist.

"Hey Zach." I answered back dully.

"What's going on over here?" He asked eyeing Nick in disgust, he's always been jealous.

"Well Nick was asking what he missed since he was gone last week." I answered in fake cheerfulness. I quickly looked at my phone to check the time.

"Oh look at that Leah and I have to get to class." I said. I wriggled out of Zach's grasp and walked off with Leah on my heels, not saying a word.
