Shattered Like Glass

Chapter 1

       Walking out of my big blue house, I hear my mom yell out, "Have a great day honey, I'll be home late tonight."

      I wave over my shoulder. When is she ever home on time anyways?

       I jump into my Audi R8, which was a birthday present from my parents. I wouldn't say I'm a spoiled child, I wouldn't mind driving a used van, but they just love to spend money on me.

      I get everything I need from my locker. Just as I close it Keith is standing there. He pecks his lips onto mine.

"Hey Livy," I hear him say as I feel my stomach whirl. Yes, after three years of dating I still feel butterflies in my stomach when he calls me that.

"Hi Keith," I say with a huge smile on my face. "May I walk you to class?"
"Of course, what else are boyfriends for?" I giggle while turning to head to history. Keith catches up to me.

Just outside the door I turn to Keith who is already looking at me. "Can you come to church this week with us?"

"I would never miss it," he replies with happiness in his eyes. "Okay just got to make sure" I wink and walk into class.

Everyone's already sat down. I go to my usual spot. The back. When the teacher asks us to read out loud my heart pounds.

I've always hated being the center of attention. When it's my turn to read, I get it over with. But my voice was shaky the whole time. I feel like I'm being judged.

Finally my last class. Math. "Okay everyone we are going to be doing a project, which you have to pick a house and a car and all that stuff, then you will calculate the bills of all that," says Mrs. Red.

The kid in front of me raises his hand. "Will we have a partner?" Mrs. Red grabs a little bucket from her desk, "Yes, which you will pick out of this little bucket and whoever's name you get will be your partner."

Ugh seriously. Of course we can't choose partners, I look at Keith to the right of me with an annoying look. He just shrugs.

     Mrs. Red decides to let my row pick names first. First up Aria picks Jake. Then Emilia picks Samantha. And then I pick. Brandon. The schools cockiest boy, and I guess he's hot too.

I eye Keith, he seems to be hiding his emotions pretty well. Usually I can instantly tell what he's thinking.

I look over at Brandon, he gives me a smirk and a wink. What a player.

I think nothing of the next person who picks, until I hear Keith's name be called by the most popular girl in school, who can woo any guy. She smiles at me.

As I walk out of the room, I see a well built guy walking beside me. Thinking it was Keith I turn and spit out "I'm not mad or jealous," but I realize it's Brandon.

"Oh we're already in that type of relationship?" He gives me a wink that could win over any girl. My cheeks burn up. I'm tongue tied so I turn and walk away.

He catches up to me, "Speechless huh?"
I look around, why isn't Keith here.
"We're partners so you need to communicate,"

"So you're saying you're actually going to do work?" I spill out without thinking.

"Ouch that hurt," he clutches his chest.
Being me I ignore him and keep walking towards my locker.

As I open my locker I realize he's still behind me. But all I do is act like I don't notice.

"Wow you really are a talker," he says sarcastically. I roll my eyes and turn around. He's to close. I don't like it.

"Personal space, please." That just makes him get closer. Now he's only inches away.

"Do I make you nervous? I tend to make a lot of girls like you nervous," I push him back with one hand. Girls like me?

I turn back to my locker, "When's your study hall?" I ask, because he's not coming to my house to work. He leans on the lockers right beside mine.

"First period tomorrow."
"Then we start the project then." I shuffle books in my locker.
"I won't be there."
"Why?" I turn to him. "I always skip study hall, it's boring." I roll my eyes, should have known.

"Well I guess we will fail then."  I said before slamming my locker and walking off. "Why don't I pick you up and we can work on it somewhere else."

I stop. What? I can't. Then Keith would for sure flip. Which I still wonder where he is. "No way."

He steps in front of me, causing me to stop. "Not like that." Is he trying to intimidate me? Because it's working.

I look up to meet his eyes, he's being very serious. It's scares me.

"Somewhere I can actually focus," Brandon has a slight happiness in his eyes before they turn dark again.

"You're a stranger." This time he rolls his eyes. "I know you want to, but it's just your boyfriend holding you back."

"Fine. I'll go but I'm not riding in the same car as you." I don't know why I agreed, but he actually seems to be different.

"Oh come on sweetheart," he touches my cheek with his cold hands, "I won't kidnap you." He winks. He likes to wink.

"I'm not worried about that. I just don't want to be seen with you," I say in a cold hearted way.

    Right before pushing his hand away from me. I wish I could take it back, he's being decently nice to me.

"Fine." And he walks away.
Wow I'm actually a little proud of myself.

A heavy muscular arm slides onto my shoulders. "Hey Keith, where were you?"

"Kelsey caught me before I left class," Oh. Her. "What's she say?" I look at him with wide eyes.

"Just stuff about the project and yeah," he says and then we both become silent as we walk out of school.

"Hey Olivia! I really want to talk to you," Katie practically drags me away from Keith. But that's okay, because she's my best friend.

"About?" She looks a little worried, I'm kind of scared. "Not meaning to gossip, but I thought you should know that..."
