Drakes POV
"I really am sorry, but it’s in your best interest" Ivory whispered in my ear. I felt goose bumps make their way up my back and arms. Her breath was hot against my skin. Her voice was full of sadness and guilt, it was as clear as daylight. She passed by me, her arm brushed mine and I couldn’t help but to shiver for her cold touch. My lungs began to burn and I realised that I was holding in my breath. What does she mean ‘is your best interest’? That day in the park, I thought we would actually become good friends. I thought she liked me. I was wrong. She was probably one of the popular students, I was probably too low for her class, I thought angrily. Something inside me wouldn’t let me believe that though. I thought back to the day in the park. She had laughed and talked to me. Her eyes had sparkled and she had looked so beautiful. She had made me feel happier just with her smile. Now, today, she looked horrified seeing me. She looked so guilty and regret was clear on her face. Did she really regret meeting me that much?
The bell rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. I quickly took out my schedule to check what I had now. My first period class was Geography, next was Science. I quickly grabbed my stuff and went to that class. This morning before school had begun; I had been on a tour around the school, so I knew where most of the classes were. I walked into my Geography class and sat down at the only empty desk. I was seated in the middle row between a girl who had brown hair with matching brown eyes and a boy who had jet black hair and brown eyes. The guy had his back to me as he was talking to someone; on the other hand, the brown headed girl was giggling with her friend and sending me flirtatious looks. I shook my head smiling and looked at the front of the classroom as the teacher walked in. Why couldn’t Ivory be here instead of that brown headed. My eyes widened, did I actually just think that?
I was pulled back to reality and the teacher started speaking, “Class, today we have a new student joining us, come up to the front of the classroom....umm...”he looked down on the attendance “Drake, Drake Thiston” I finished for him. He looked back at me “Ah, yes Mr. Thinston, how about you stand up and tell us something about you?” he asked me. I shook my head “Nope, I’m good” I answered. The teacher rolled his eyes and turned back around to collect papers from his desk “fine, whatever you want” he mumbled.
Half way into class, the teacher, Mr. Cord, handed out a couple of sheets for us to complete. “On the board are questions that you need to complete from your text book” he called as he took a seat on his chair. Soon he got busy in his work and the class started whispering to each other. I started doing one of the worksheets, but ended up just thinking about how stupid I was and what Ivory had said to me. ‘I can’t be seen talking to you’ why not? I wanted to know.
Someone nudged my shoulder bringing me back to reality, I looked up to see the boy that was sitting next to me. He smiled my way and said “Hey, I’m Nick” I returned the smile, “I’m Drake” I shook his hand like people do while handling business.
He laughed “ya, I know, so, I saw you talking to that weirdo girl this morning, what’s up with that?”
I stared at him in confusion “the weirdo girl?” I asked.
He looked at me as if I had said the dumbest thing in the world “ahh...yeah, the one with the red hair, weren’t you talking to her this morning?” He asked
Realisation hit me, he was talking about Ivory! Wait, why’d he call her the ‘weirdo girl’? “How’s she weird?” I asked him, avoiding his question. I really didn’t want to explain to him how she had just played me, tricked me into thinking she was my friend.
He smirked “Oh, you don’t know?”
I shook my head “know what?”
He gave a little laugh “That’s why you were talking to her! Your lucky Nate didn’t see you though. That would have ended badly” He stated wincing when he said the last part
Anger burned inside me “Her boyfriend?”
Nick chuckled “As if! It’s her brother!” he said like it was obvious.
Realisation hit me “ohh...I see, so what’s wrong if I talk to her? Is he like really protective of her or what?”
He looked at me for a minute “You really are stupid” He muttered. He sighed “He’s the worst brother anyone could ask for; he hates her, and makes sure everyone else does too. He has always made sure she didn’t make any friends. Whenever someone talks to her, Him and his gang beat the fudge outa him!” he stated
Anger, shock, relief and happiness filled me. That’s why she didn’t want me to talk to her! When she said she didn’t want me to get her, she literally meant it! Ha! I thought she was embarrassed of me! Her brother, Nate, he was probably the stupidest guy on earth! Why wouldn’t he let anyone talk to her? Or maybe Nick over exaggerated. My thoughts were cut off when the bell rang.
