Scarlette's POV
"Hey!" my friend Amber yelled and ran towards me.
"Hey girl! What's up?" I asked and gave her a huge hug.
"Nothing much. What about you? Dad still here?" she asked and my mind automatically went to this morning when dad got a call from his work.
"No, well yes, I don't really know. He got a call this morning saying that he has to leave for work." I sighed. Carson squeezed my hand in comfort and I looked up before resting my head on his shoulder.
"Oh well I'm so sorry. I wish he didn't have to leave you all the time." Amber genuinely replied.
"I have to go over to the guys. Do you want to come with?" Carson asked causing me to look over at his friends then back at Amber.
"Nah I think I'm going to talk to Amber for a little while." I weakly smiled before Amber took my hand and quickly dragged me to the bathroom.
"What's up?" I ask setting my backpack on the counter and turning towards her.
"I'm sorry for bringing up your dad on the first day. I thought it would be something nice to talk about since he is home, well was home." Amber said opening her purse, pulling out a stick of light pink lipstick and quickly applying it.
"Nah it's cool. How would you have known?" I asked with a small but real smile.
"True, I just don't want to make you feel bad." she sighed.
"Seriously it's okay." I giggled.
"OMG SCARLETTE YOU WONT BELIEVE WHO JUST GOT HERE!" my friend Payton yelled running into the bathroom and standing in between Amber and I.
"It's okay. I totally wasn't standing right there." Amber scoffed and I let out a small laugh.
"Okay now who is here?" I asked and she jumped up and down like a crazy person.
"GRAYSON AND ETHAN ARE HERE! THEY ARE UGLY AS ALWAYS!" Payton said which caused her and Amber to laugh. Just so I wouldn't get questioned I laughed along with them.
"WE SHOULD GO SEE THEM! COME ON!" Amber squealed and the three of us ran out of the bathroom.
Grayson's POV
Ethan and I walked closer to the school and as soon as we got to the steps I stopped.
"Get out of the way freak!" a boy groaned pushing by to run up the steps with his friends.
"Gray come on." Ethan said walking back down a few steps and grabbing my arm.
"I- I can't go here again." I shivered at the thought of everything that happened last year.
"I'm right here. No one can hurt you." he sighed.
I walked up a few steps and walked through the two front doors. As soon as we walked in my nose was filled with the scent of high priced cologne and cheap perfume.
"Aww big brother has to hold your hand in the hallway?" the main jock, Carson, asked and all of his jock friends laughed along with him.
"No." I whispered yanking my hand away from Ethan's tight grip.
"Is little Grayson scared of us?" he asked looking back at his friends before turning around with a big smirk laid out across his face.
"No I'm not. Just leave us alone." I said trying to sound as confident as possible.
"Nah I'm good." Carson said and one of his friends, Toby, messed with my hair and slightly tugged on it.
"He said leave us alone!" Ethan barged in.
"Excuse me?" Carson asked in shock.
"Ethan stop." I whispered but he didn't listen. Carson grabbed him by the shirt and pushed him against the lockers. "STOP!" I yelled but again no one listened to me instead I got held back but Toby and Alex, another one of the jocks.
"Don't tell me what to do little kid!" Carson said bringing his hand to Ethan's face before it got stopped.
"Carson please stop." a heavy but soft British voice said. God Scarlette was beautiful but I couldn't say anything or else I would get beaten up by her guard dog like boyfriend, Carson.
Carson let go of Ethan's shirt and gave him an evil look, letting out a small sigh. "Don't talk to me like that again because she won't always be here to stop me." he smirked. Toby and Alex let me go and I moved over to the side so the guys could get by.
"Let's go." Carson barked to his friends and they all walked away.
"Sorry guys." Scarlette whispered before walking away with her friends.
"Come on let's just go to class." Ethan sighed moving his shirt around till he was comfortable.
"What about our stuff?" I asked referring to our backpacks and the unneeded supplies.
"We can put it up later." he said and we started walking to first period, Chemistry.
*Flashback*
Ethan and I were walking to our second period when I suddenly tripped.
"Watch where you're going kid." Carson barked with a huge smirk.
"Shut up asshole!" Ethan yelled and Carson pushed him against the lockers.
"Watch your tone or else!" Carson growled.
"Or. Else. What?" Ethan asked with a smile. Carson smashed his fist against Ethan's face. Ethan didn't want to just take it so he hit him back. They pushed and shoved each other before I stood up and yelled at them.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" I yelled and Carson laughed.
"Or else that!" Carson laughed wiping the blood off of his lip and grabbing Toby's hand to lift him up.
"Is that all you've got?" Ethan asked as I pulled him up off of the floor.
"Ethan please stop." I begged turning him around and speed walking down the hall before we were stopped by Carson speaking up again.
"You don't want to see what else I've got." Carson smirked and Ethan stuck up his middle finger before continuing to walk down the hallway with me.
*End of flashback*
Scarlette's POV
I felt bad that Carson was holding Ethan up to the lockers but I couldn't do anything about it. I didn't want to lose my reputation but I also didn't want to be hateful so I just tried to stay out of it as much as possible.
"You okay?" Carson asked giving my hand a light squeeze to get my attention.
"Hm? Yeah I'm fine." I smiled rubbing his hand with my thumb.
"Is it about your dad?" he asked in a whisper so the teacher wouldn't hear us talking.
"Yeah basically but I'll be okay." I said hoping he would believe me.
"Why don't I come over tonight and we can hang out and watch some movies and cuddle?" he smirked bringing my hand up to his lips and letting his hot breath linger over it before kissing it softly.
"I would love that." I smiled, once again rubbing his hand with my thumb. I needed someone with me tonight but I also wanted to be alone so I could have time to think about everything. I think having Carson over would help a little bit but I definitely couldn't talk to him about everything so I would only tell him something if he asked.
"Don't worry. Everything will be okay." Carson whispered and I laid my head on his shoulder letting out a sigh of hopeful relief.
