Lessons in Love

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 

I groaned as I shut my locker and trudged to art. Slumping in my seat, Drew whistled lowly, "Well hello to you too Miss Sunshine." 

"Not in the mood," I muttered. 

"Aww, come on Faith what's wrong?" He asked, resting his chin on the heel of his hand. 

"It's Monday," I crinkled my nose, "And there's school." 

Drew laughed, "Alright, perk up buttercup. We have an art test today!" 

"What!?" I exclaimed, bolting up in my seat. 

He chuckled, "Joking!" 

I glared at him, "Not funny." 

"I thought it was comedy gold!" 

The bell rang and I pulled out my sketchbook, as did Drew. Our teacher walked in, smiling, "Hello, class! Today we're going to have a free day!" 

Everyone cheered and put their stuff away, but I shot a questioning look to Drew, "What's a free day?" 

"It's when the teachers are so tired of us," Drew answers, "That they move all lessons back and we have social day! See; today isn't so bad after all!" 

"Yeah I guess, but if they're not teaching us anything why do we have to show up?" I question. 

"For the people that need resources for homework, projects, etcetera," Drew responded. I nodded and slipped my notepad back in my bag. 

I turned to Drew, "So can you go into other classes?" 

He frowned, "I wish. But you have to go to your scheduled classes and remain there because if not then everyone would just skip." 

"I'd be one of the people who skip," I mumbled, stifling a yawn. 

Drew scoffed, "Sure you would." 

As the bell rang, signaling the next class, I rejoiced and grabbed my bag walking with Drew to second period where Liam greeted me. Smiling, I leaned in and pecked him on the lips. He smiled, "And how are you?" 

"I'm great," I whispered back and he smiled, showing off his perfectly white teeth. 

Sitting down, we waited for the teacher to take attendance before getting in our group and talking. I placed myself on Liam's lap and he rested his chin on my head. Jill and Josh sat in the same way. Alyssa, Cat and Drew sat arguing and Danny was sending text after text; probably to Jason, no doubt. Justin sat next to Drew looking focused. 

"No! You've got it all wrong, batman is way better than all of the Avengers combined!" Drew exclaimed. 

I scoffed, "You wish! Like hello, the avengers have a hulk!" 

"Thank you!" Alyssa groaned, "Finally someone gets it!" 

"Not to mention Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth are sex gods," Cat smirks. 

Jill chimed in, "Hell yes!" 

Laughing, I nodded, "They're like the hottest being on Earth!" 

Liam placed his hands on my hips and pulled me back into him, causing me to chuckled, "Jealous?" 

"Very," He growled. 

Turning around, I saw his eyes darkening and rolled my eyes, "Are you seriously jealous of celebrities?" 

He rolled his eyes, "You're talking about how hot guys are right in front of me. Why wouldn't I get angry?" 

"Maybe because I'm with you and they're celebrities! Every girl talks about this stuff!" I hiss. 

"Yeah, well maybe I don't want you to talk about that," He narrowed his eyes and I narrowed mine back at him. 

Our friends quieted down and Danny actually looked away from her phone, Justin breaking out of his intense trance. 

"Well too bad you don't own me," I told him, sliding off his lap and back into my seat across from him and in between Alyssa and Cat. Folding my arms, I glared at him, crossing on leg over the other. I turned to Alyssa, "So how have you been?" 

"Uh, I've been good," She mumbled. 

Great, now it was awkward because everyone saw Liam and I fight. 

I could feel him burning holes through my head but I refused to look at him. I looked at Jill, who was frowning slightly. 

Wasn't that a bit unnecessary? She asked through the mind link. 

Mentally rolling my eyes, I shouted back, Not at all. He was the one who overreacted! 

I think you both overreacted, She stated and I saw her physically roll her eyes. 

Maybe I did overreact, but he did it first. I wasn't giving up my resolve that easily. I'm sick of all girls being called weak. I'd be strong and I'd make Liam cave before me. 

"Oh, come on!" Alyssa shouted, exasperated as we traveled down the hall, trailing behind the boys for I didn't want to look at Liam yet, "Just kiss and make up already! That had to have been the most stupid argument I've ever seen!" 

Rolling my eyes, I sighed, "You don't get it! It's not even about Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr. It's about the fact that Liam thinks he can control me, when he can't." 

"He's your mate," She pointed out, "and an alpha at that. Really, he does have a reason for why he's so protective like that." 

"Yeah but he won't give me any freedom! And I'm pretty sure he stands outside the bathroom door while I'm peeing. I need privacy!" I exclaim. 

Alyssa sighs, "You two are quite the drama queens." 

"I am not a drama queen!" I snap. She raised an eyebrow at me and I run a hand down my face, "Okay, so I've been a little edgy lately. Sue me!" 

"Why are we suing Faith?" Jill questions, joining the two of us. 

"Because she's a drama queen," Alyssa answers. 

Jill laughs, "Hell yeah she is." 

"Hey, ladies," Drew smiled, joining the three of us. 

I smiled at him, "At least there's one civilized boy here in this school." 

Ahead of us, I saw Liam tense and smirked. Serves him right. 

"You're torturing him, you know that right?" Drew asks me. 

"I know," I say smugly. The three of them shook their heads at me. We continued to walk when suddenly I ran into something hard. Backing up, I folded my arms over my chest and narrowed my eyes, "What?"

Without saying anything, he grabbed me and pulled me into an empty classroom. Pinning me against the wall, he leaned his head forward so he was talking in my ear, "I don't appreciate you ignoring me." 

"I don't appreciate you acting like you own me," I stated flatly. 

"I'm," he kissed my neck, "so," he kissed my jaw, "sorry," he whispered, his lips a centimeter away from mine. Slowly he leaned in until our lips were touching and he began to move his mouth on mine. 

Knowing I wouldn't last long, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. He pulled away and intertwined my hand in his, pulling me out of the room and down the hall. Walking into the cafeteria, our friends smiled when they saw our intertwined hands.
