Dia's POV

Tic-tac, tic-tac, tic-tac...

The clock is counting off the last minute of this class. The patience in me is quickly running out of time.

Tic-tac, tic-tac...

Lucas is waiting me right in front of the classroom. He has had P.E. but the couch had probably let them earlier. Just one more minute so I can see him.

Tic-tac, tic...

The school bell rings loudly, signalizing the end of this boredom.

I quickly take my notebook and my pencil and run out of the classroom before anybody else.

"Luke?" my eyes search for his blue eyes through the crowd of people in the hallway.

"You know, I really like how in the chat you call me Lucas, in face you call me Luke and in bed you call me daddy." deep raspy voice whispers in my ear as cool mint breath hits the skin of my neck.

Suddenly his long arms wrap around my waist, pulling me into his chest. It feels like something has been injected in me and warm wave of mixed emotions runs all over my body. Suddenly his cool palm is placed on my bare thigh and it's slowly moving even higher under my short skirt. I squeeze my eyes, taking a deep breath as a quiet moan leaves my mouth. Finally his long fingers reach to my panties and tangle with the thin fabric, carefully moving it...

"Really, guys?" a voice startles us both and I quickly pull away from his grip. Another blonde head is standing in front of us "Can't you hold your legs closed, little tart?"

"Ross, cut the bullshit." Luke makes a step in front of me "What's your problem with her?"

A loud laugh echoes through the whole hallway and a few teenagers turns towards us to see what's happening.

"You are thinking with your dick." Ross makes a step closer to Lucas, his index finger pointing down at his packet "You see girl with big ass and boobs and you immediately fall in love with her. But she doesn't even have that big tits, look at her." everyone's gazes are glued on me "And about her ass, well, she's just fat."

"What?!" okay, but this guy just overdid "Who are you to judge me?!" I yell shoving out Luke and standing right in front of Ross "You don't like me? That's okay, not everyone has a good taste. But why are you trying so hard to hurt me? What's your problem, man?! What do you want from me?!" silence fills the building as I take a deep breath "Are you fucking deaf?!" I shout again, finally letting all the anger in me to leave my body.

His big hazel eyes are staring deadly right into mines when all of a sudden he just turn around, shoving a few teens, and disappears in the crowd.

"What's his fucking problem?" I'm still thinking about what happened in the hallway while we're sitting on a table in the school cafeteria.

"Oh, it's.." Luke glances at me "It's because of his past." he takes another bite from his burger and chews on it slowly "I can't remember exactly what happened, Ross has never wanted to talk about it with me. But there was that girl, the typical beauty, long brown hair, bright green eyes, pure white skin, perfect body, you kinda remind me of her. Anyways. She broke him."

"What do you mean? How?"

"Well, Ross found out that literally 90% of the boys at school have screwed her. And when he tried to talk with her, she started to blame him and insult him." a short pause and Luke continues again "Fucking hell, they were together for two years and through the whole time she was cheating on him."

"And what's my fault?"

"I-I don't want to insult you, Dia. It's just.."

"What?"

"Your behavior."

"What about my behavior?"

"You're acting like a whore. I mean, the way you have tried to kiss him even though you didn't know him, then when he rejected you, you came to me.."

"Really, Lucas?" I stand from the table, not removing my eyes from him "Then why are you hooking up with me?"

"Dia, c'mon, sit down."

"What if I don't want to? I'm a whore, aren't I?"

With these words I quickly make my way towards Winifred's table and take a seat.

"What happened?" she's chewing on her fries, her gaze glued on her phone.

"Nothing." I roll eyes. I really don't want to talk about it.

"So are you flirting with Luke?" with her questions my eyes wide.

"Does it matter?"

Winnie carefully locked her phone and put it on the table "Actually yes, it matters. You knew I like him but although you're flirting with him."

"Oh, is this your problem? Go get him. I don't care. He's a dickhead anyways."

My friend shakes lightly her head "What happened?"

"They think I'm whore."

"Who are they?"

"Ross and Luke."

"You aren't."

"But what if I am?"

"That's the think about what if-s, they don't matter. They don't change anything. All they do is make it unable for you to heal." silence takes the space between us but not for long "I think every once in a while we need to step back and look at situations and realize that we know ourselves better than anyone else. We live with ourselves everyday. We are the ones who have our thoughts. We are the ones who know our intentions. Stop letting people to tell you who you are, Diamond. Where is that strong girl who doesn't give a shit about people's opinion?"

"It's amazing how people change after every heartbreak, after every betrayal by a person they trusted."

"This is so clichè." Winifred chuckles, stretching her arms across the table and petting playfully my head.

My eyes widen "What?"

"The whole situation." she smirks and then stands up, leaving her food on the table.

I quickly follow her "What do you mean?"

"If they think you're a whore, act like a whore."

"Silver said the same thing."

Winnie rolls her eyes and then move her gaze on something behind me "You like Ross, right?" I nod my head precariously, I already know what kind of idea has popped in her head "Make him jealous by flirting with his best friend."

Her eyes are still staring at the space behind me. What the hell, Winnie?! What's so interesting?! I turn around only to see Lucas and Ross staring at us. Well, I'm not surprised. I follow with gaze how Luke takes his phone out of his pocket and suddenly the tone of me receiving a message is heard.

Lucas: Babygirl, are you still mad at me?

Winifred glances at me "That's so cute."

"I don't know." I shrug "It's weird to call someone who's not your real father daddy."

"Well, not everyone has a father, Dia." she lets out a quiet laughter but it's fake, I know it's painful for her to talk about this.

"I'm sorry."

Winnie nods and I finally return my attention to Luke's message.

Me: no daddy (:

My gaze search for the two blondes in the crowded cafeteria. They are still sitting on that table when suddenly Ross gets up angrily and leave.

Lucas: I'll be waiting for you after school. My mom's at work.

Me: ok

Lucas: ok, what?

Me: ok daddy (;
