Padlocks of her Past

Chapter 5

Even peters as Christian

"So are you girls going to explain yourselves... or?" Tyler paced back and fourth starting at us.

"Or what ty? Are you going to lock us up and throw away the key." Cas snapped back not helping the situation. "Guys calm down, there's no need for this." I threw my hands in the air.

"Tyler just needs to stop acting crazy all the time." Cas huffed flicking her hair. "When are you both going to realise that I'm only doing this for your best interests." Tyler gritted through his teeth, attempting to remain composed. Ah sibling drama, gotta love it right?

"Tyler you need to chill, we just made a few guy friends, well I don't actually know if we are friends. Are we friends?" I turned to Cassie asking her for reassurance. She thought about it for a second and then nodded. "You don't need to worry about us, your sister is in good hands." I stood up touching Ty lightly on the shoulder.

"I just want you girls to be careful. I don't know if you know this already but sometimes guys can be dicks." Cassie laughed playfully as if this was new news to her.

"We know Ty, but you gotta back up a little. I do plan on getting married and having kids one day, and I kinda need a boyfriend to do that." Cassie stood up and placed her hand on Tyler's shoulder.

"Alright. Fine. I'll try to calm down a little." He smiled wrapping his arms around Cas. "So are we all good now." I interjected. "Were all good." They both replied. Tyler pulled me into a tight hug. "Please be careful." He whispered in my ear. "Always." I whispered back.

"Hurry up! Breakfast ends in 15 and then lessons start." Gwen screamed in the hallway. Of course Gwen and I were waiting on Brie and Cas once again.

I literally ran. Nah scrap that, sprinted to the line once we reached the cafeteria. The smell of pancakes fresh fruit and bacon filled my nose. My stomach started to rumble as I grabbed a plate. In the distance I saw Tyler sitting with a few of his friends. I waved and he waved back, the guy to his left winked at me causing Ty to punch his arm.

Being the polite person I am I smiled at a group of girls who were in front of me and to my surprise they all smiled back. "Making new friends are we?" A deep voice said from behind me. "No, just being polite. Something your mother must have not taught you." Yes I can be cranky in the morning. Sue me.

Marco growled from behind me muttering something under his breath. I tried to turn around to apologise but he barged past me knocking my fresh tea on my hand. I screamed in response and everyone in the cafeteria looked around to see what was going on.

I saw Tyler immediately stand up at the sound of my voice. Corbyn rushed over to me from the back of the queue picking up the cup. "Are you okay." He smiled grabbing a few napkins. "Yeah I'm fine." I grabbed my plate and went to find where the others were seated. Marco and Luka were stood up opposite each other Luke's face almost turning red, but he must have noticed my presence because he sat back down.

The silence at the table was deafening. We all awkwardly sat around eating our breakfast. All eyes were on Marco, waiting to see what he would do or say next. He finished his breakfast threw his tray away and walked straight out without a word to anyone.

"Thank god I can breathe again." Kai joked. "He didn't even have the audacity to apologise." Cas spat. "Jerk." Brie mumbled under her breath. "I'll go talk to him." Luka got up and put his hand on my shoulder and then left chasing after Marco.

"Whatever you said, sure pissed him off." Gwen whispered.

My first class of today was potions, lucky for me I had Kai the class clown to keep me company. After taking the wrong turning at least 6 times we finally found our class. Kai entered first but then slowed down as he walked through the door. "Oo this just got interesting." Kai turned around smiling as wide as the joker. "What?" I questioned confused.
