PUNK'D

Loner

It's been two days and I haven't heard from or seen Luke.He's being so stubborn.I don't even know if I want him around me anymore,Luke has changed.Although I feel I was my fault for interfering I'm not backing down and letting him win.

What he was doing to Elliot was wrong.Stealing and vandalism is bad enough,but bullying someone is what I can't stand.

I pop some ice in a bag,letting out a sharp breath as my lips stings as it touches my lip.Its swollen,bruised and slightly scabbed.As the ice touches my lip I feel a sharp sting.After ten minutes of trying to reduce the swelling I put lip seal on,avoiding the bruise.

Luke's never been a violent person,I wish I had the guts to fight back but then then again I could have had more than a beaten lip to worry about.He frightened me last night,I've never seen his eyes so black.

Unfortunately Guss has gone back home to america so I can't even talk to him about the situation.I don't want to phone him and worry him either.

Tuesday morning neither Luke,Hayley or Dexter turn up to college.I keep my head down and try to focus on my work.I get a few funny looks and stares at my lip but nobody asks what happened.A few people talk about me but I don't care right now.

I look down at the floor as I enter English class,I feel Elliot's eyes on me.I slump in my seat and begin to right the date.

Half way into the lesson,I feel Elliot's eyes now and again focusing on my lip. Elliot soon breaks the silence.

"Hey Ronnie" He sighs

"Hi Elliot" I simply reply and continue to right my essay

Elliot taps his pen nervously before heavily breathing out.

"What happened to your lip?" He whispers,the one question I've been hoping nobody would ask

"I'll tell you after the lesson" I huff

"Okay" He sighs and concentrates on his writing.

My phone buzzes in my pocket.The teacher seams to be too busy reading his book.I reach into my pocket and slowly get my phone out and hold it under the test.Constantly flicking my eyes up to check on Mr Phillips.

Hayley- Hey Ronnie,hope you're okay.Sorry about the other night.xx

I roll my eyes and shove my phone back in my pocket.

I sigh in relief when the bell rings.I swiftly pick up my belongs and hand my essay into Mr Philips desk before rushing out of the room and speed walking down the corridor.

"Ronnie wait" I hear Elliot's voice echo down the hallway.

I huff and choose to ignore him as I dart past the floods of people coming towards me.Not bothering to look back and take the back entrance out the the college gates.

I look back to see Elliot's head popping up between the floods of people.

For god sake why doesn't he just give up.I don't want to explain myself to him and I shouldn't have to.

My hands touch my car door handle and I get it.Starting to ignition.Just at the time I go to pull my car out of college,a knock sounds at my passenger size of the window.I turn the ignition off and look down at my lap for a moment.I let out a sigh for a minute and decide to wind down the window.
