"What did you have this morning? An extra serve of b!tchflakes?" An unformillur voice says from behind my locker door. I slam it shut to see Emily standing there all innocent.
"Ugh." I scoff.
"No comeback? I guess Google must be running low." She laughs at her own joke.
Her eyes soon settle apon my necklace that Zoe bought me in London. "Nice necklace. Where'd you get it?" She picks it up and wraps her fingers around it.
"From my mum."
"Oh, your mum. Don't you mean, Zoella? And Alfie. The ones who took you on that amazing holiday to... London." My mouth hits the floor. She's still holding my pendant.
"H... How do you know?" But then I remember we're already out. I don't care who knows it. "Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that I was adopted by Zoella!" I yell the last part in her face. I don't care who hears me. So what if heads turn. I'm proud.
Her face goes red and before I know it, she rips the pendant from my neck and throws it into the crowd that had formed around us.
"Fetch." Is the last word I hear from her before she walked away.
I run into the crowd, forgetting about the necklace, and round the corner. I find a cleaning closet and close the door behind me. Not worrying about my surroundings, I collapse on the floor, crying. Until I hear a voice.
"Are you ok?" The voice asks. I look up to see Lucas sitting on a bucket holding a guitar. I can't believe I didn't notice him.
"Ah... Yeah." I lie. He puts the guitar down beside him, walks over and sits down beside me. He wraps his strong arms around me, wiping my tears away. I turn away, not wanting to cause anymore drama. I stand up. "Look, I'm fine."
"No your not." He pauses. "It was Emily, wasn't it." Tears spill from my eyes at the sound of her name. Memories of 10 minutes ago flood into my mind.
I get up, still crying, and walk over to the other side I the small closet.
"Look. I'm fine. I... I just lost something that was very important to me. I j... Just need some time alone." I sob.
"Ok... Pretend I'm not here." I roll my eyes as he picks up his guitar again and starts to play.
I decide to just text Riley. I haven't seen her lately and she hasn't said anything to me after what she posted on Instagram. I end up just saying "hey".
She texted back in a few minutes. Relieved, I open the text. But my expression changes soon after I read it. "Don't you get it? Obviously not. I've get new friends. Way better then you and your rejects."
I cry. I can't help it. Then, once again, I feel his strong arm pulling me close to him. His soft hand lifts my chin. I stare into his eyes, knowing exactly what he want to do. I glance for a moment but my eyes landed back on his lips. They come closer and closer. I can almost see the sparks between us. Our lips finally touch. But only for a moment.
Light streams into the dark room, blinding both of us. Three girl enter. Pulling us apart. I hear Emily's voice.
"How could you." Then a loud slap.
"H... How did you find us?" I hear Lucas stammer. My eyes have finally adjusted to the light and I can now see what's going on. Lucas is on the floor being held up by Emily pulling on his shirt collar. She lets go of him and pulls out her phone.
"A tracking device. As you all know my daddy rich..." She goes on mean while I hear someone whisper in my ear.
"I'm here." I hear Riley's voice in my ear. "She stole my phone and won't give it back unless I'm not your friend. Please play along. She'll kill me." She pled.
I nod in response.
"Told you, b!tch. I've got new friends."
"Ugh. These b!tchs. Your friends..." I scoff. Riley goes and stands along side Emma. Emily smirks and grabs Lucas again. She pins him on the wall and presses her lips hard against his. Lucas wraps his arms around her, picks her up and pushes her back down. Emily's now laying on the floor, tears filling her eyes. Lucas pulls me toward him picking me up and carrying me out the door leaving his guitar behind.
