Hurt Again ( on hold)

Ariyah Undecover | Chapter 5

Leaving  my house about 20 min before school ends, I head towards the woods again walking along the dirt path. I'm snapped out of my deep thought when I hear footsteps behind me. I turn around quickly, fists in the air but there's no one in sight. I shrug and start walking a bit faster than before, having 10 min until school ends. I finally reach my school and survey the area. I don't see any teachers so I sneak around from the front entrance onto the field by the tree I said I would meet Cole at.
I sit at the bottom of the tree and wait out the last 5 min.

Cole POV

Walking past the girls toilets I hear crying and I turn to see who it is. I walk into the bathroom, cautiously not wanting a girl to tell the teacher ' a boy was in the girls toilets'. I  see Chelsea on the floor with her two best friends Lacey and Tasha.
"What happened ?" I say picking Chelsea up and she holds her head.
It was that bitch Ariyah! She did this to me!"
" why would she do something like this?" I say thinking there must be an understandable reason for this.
" she- she came into the toiletss a-and said that I should stay away from you, and s-she pushed me against the counter" she cries and I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion. This is unbelievable, she can't go around abusing people. I knew she was dangerous or messed up from her past but not this. But something tells me Chelsea isn't telling the whole truth. Me knowing her she probably started everything but Ariyah shouldn't have lost control like that.
"Well, I'm going to the nurse I'll see you later babe" she kissed my cheek then storms past me and I decide to just leave her.

The end of the day came and I walk out of the school compound and go to the tree where Ariyah was sitting with her head hung low listening to music.
She looks up at me and smiles a bit.
" you ready? You have no idea the day I've had-"
" what the fuck did you do to Chelsea!" I say quickly.
She looks taken aback but she makes sure to hide behind a confused annoyed look.
" why do you care anyway? She was getting too brave" she says and I shake my head.
" why do you think everyone is beneath you! Stop putting up an act and be who you really are! You went too far" I argue back sick of her behaviour. Wow I sound like her father.

" maybe you need to hear what really happened ! Why do you suspect that I'm in the wrong, maybe you should check your boney girlfriend!" she shouts.
" why would she lie?" I say
" because she hates me! She came to me warning me to not go near you and I told her how it was" she says playing with the ends of her hair.
" oh yeah, what's that" u challenged her.
" that I didn't want her white boy and that she could keep him for all I care" she spits and step back a bit, hurt by her words. She really doesn't me. I'm chasing her around like a lost puppy and she says that shit.
" you know what I don't need this shit" I say and start to walk away.
" hello smart ass your my tutor" I stop and turn around and curse under my breath.
" come with me" I say and I start walking towards the parking lot. I walk up to my baby and grab one of the helmets and put it on.
" what is this?" I hear her say behind me.
" what do you think it is smart ass" I say and she kisses her teeth.
" if u die, I'm blaming it on you" she says and I laugh but then stop, remembering that were arguing.
She puts her helmet on and gets on behind me and loosly puts her hands around my waist.
" your gunna have to hold on tighter than that" I say
"Never" she says keeping as much distance between us as possible.
She will learn the hard way then.
I kick start my motorbike and drive towards the exit. She yells out of surprise and holds onto my waist for her life.
" told ya" I say as she rests her head on my back.
" omg omg omg" she says as we turn a corner.
" stop putting me off" I say but she's really not, I'm very much enjoying that she's holding me. My heart speeds up just a bit at the contact between us.

**********
Turning into our road, I park my bike in my garage. I turned my engine off and got off. I held out my hand for her to take and she does, the takes off her helmet, running a hand through her hair. God that was hot.
" what?" She says.
" uh n-nothing" i stutter and I curse under my breath for being so stupid. I walk ahead of her and go through my front door.
" I love your house" she says in awe.
" thanks, we've put a lot of our lid things from our house in Bexley, it reminds us of our old house- life" I say honestly. I would be lying if I said that I don't miss my friends.
" it must of been hard for you to leave everything behind" she says as we walk up the stairs.
" it was, I left everyone behind but I'm lucky to have some friends here"
" what's that supposed to mean?" She questions as she sits on my bed, looking offended. Her face is puffed out and her arms are crossed.
" your cute" I say and she blushes. This is priceless.
" I am not cute, I'm the baddest girl in school, I'm offended" I shake my head at her stubbornness.
" your not, you just pretend to be." I say  sitting next to her.
" I see a girl who's not filled with anger" i whisper moving her face so it's facing me.
" but who's confused and gentle and beautiful inside out" I say truthfully.
