Can you keep up?

Chapter 16

Two updates two days in a row! I was on a roll with ideas so I thought I'd write another chapter for you :) Enjoy!

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas as to what they would like to see happen in the story please feel free to tell me! I've got a few solid plans but I'm open to other ideas as well!

Charlie's POV

Okay, what the heck just happened? 

Lauren just literally walked out of study hall. And what on earth was that tweet? I am genuinely so beyond confused right now! I mean what is she talking about "have fun with her"??? Da fuq? 

We were getting on so well yesterday, I don't understand what's happened. Admittedly I did kinda push my luck in sociology and I knew she would catch on but I was annoyed with her. I still am but I'm also mainly confused. Does she like me? Why would she say that? Who is 'HER'!?

"Woah why did Cimorelli just up and walk out? What was her last tweet?" Jenna asked surprised as I just stared open mouthed at the door she had just stormed out of. Jenna snatched my laptop from me and glared at the screen.

"Yo what the fuck is this chick on? Why she chatting shit?" She laughed and I turned to face her. 

"I really don't know what this means," I breathed out quickly, the sound of my heartbeat racing in my ears. 

"Relax, it's just a tweet!" Jenna squinted her eyes at me, studying my expression. "Oh no, nuh uh, don't get ahead of yourself girl. I'm sorry but Lauren Cimorelli doesn't like you, she's straight anyway and she just plays people," she shook her head.

"What? What do you mean she plays people? How do you know?" I raised an eyebrow at my best friend who just leaned back in her seat and crossed her arms.

"I just do."

I was about to question her further when I saw Lauren through the window walking fast with Dani alongside her. I jumped out of my seat accidentally knocking my chair over in the process and headed to the door, not having a clue what I wanted to say to her. "Hey! Where are you going?!" I heard Jenna yell after me but I ignored her and jogged around the corner and out into the courtyard in the direction of the parking lot. Just as I wrenched open the double doors I saw Lauren's car turning onto the road and I groaned in frustration, kicking a nearby trash can so hard it toppled over spilling its contents onto the floor. 

"Miss Hershall!" 

Shit. 

I turned around to see the deputy head, probably the worst person who could've caught me, glaring at me and tapping her foot with her arms folded across her chest. 

"Uh, y-yes Mrs Brody?" I stammered knowing full well I was in trouble.

"What do you think you're doing out of class and damaging school property?" She demanded.

"I'm sorry, I was just looking for someone," I shuffled my feet guiltily, I couldn't think of an excuse. 

"Well since you feel that you can waste my time, I'll be wasting yours. Detention tomorrow after school." I groaned loudly and rolled my eyes in annoyance. 

"But Miss! I have training!" I half shouted in an exasperated tone which only made her angrier.

"You should have thought about that before you ditched class then shouldn't you?" She pointed at the doors, "get back to class, Charlotte." 

"But-"

"GO!" She shrieked and I glared at her beetroot red face and stormed back inside in a temper, slamming the doors shut behind me.
