Rough [H.S]

Chapter 54

"What are you doing out of class?" He asks and swallows.

"What is that?"
Why would you pay 50$ for an orange envelope?

"It's nothing." He lies.

"Don't lie to me."

"I'm not, it's just my history project I asked Will to do it for me." I roll my eyes and get back to class. 

After a long class I leave and head to my locker. I don't see him. Did he leave? I spot his friends at the end of the hallway.

"We need to talk." I tell Jimmy.

"Anything for you babe" He winks.

"Don't do that to me."

"Do what, babe?" I cringe and leave.

"Wait" Jimmy shouts, grabbing my hand. "What is it you need?"

"I have questions" I tell him as I rip my hand out of his grip.

"Theres a price with everything that come out of Jimmy's mouth" He says with a laugh.

"You're disgusting."

"Okay I'm sorry Jessy what is it? Meet me and the cafe after school?" I disagree with him and tell him I need somewhere more private and so we agree to meet in his car.

At the end of the day I meet Jimmy at his car.

"Get in." I hesitate for a second but then jump in.

"Whats Harry hiding?" I ask

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean!"

"No I really don't" he confirms.

We talk for a little longer until I realize that I guess Jimmy really doesn't know about anything. He drives me home and lets me of a street before just so my mom doesn't get any crazy ideas.

The walk is short but cold. I guess a little more than a sweater would have been better. My mother was right this morning it is a little cold out here. I look up and see Louis getting out of his house. My mother had told me he would be attending my school for the rest of the year but I haven't seen him yet. Without realizing, I trip over a thick broken branch on the asphalt and fall to my knees scraping my whole palm.

"Shit" I say under my breathe.

"You alright there ma'am?" I look up to Louis watching me from his balcony. 

"Ya ya" I shout back. I walk up to my driveway and give an awkward 'I'm okay' smile to him.Why do I always embarrass myself.

"You're bleeding." He says.

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious." I reply while holding my right hand in my left. 

"Sorry" He laughs. Right now we're just somewhat fighting from our balconies which are quite close to each other. 

I silently laugh at myself for what has just happened in the last 2 minutes. 

"Let me help you" He says but doesn't move. "Well come on now." He adds, suggesting that my crippled body has to walk to his house. I walk down my steps, cross over the gras and climb up his. 

"Oh it's bad" He says grabbing my hands carefully. His hands are large and cold. I quickly pull back.

"It's nothing calm down." I roll my eyes. He lifts and eyebrow and looks in my eyes. "Are you always this rude?" He asks. 

"Sometimes" I say.
