Look After You {Sequel To Lost In Stereo}

Chapter Fourteen-Gay

"The sad truth is the truth is sad." -Lemony Snicket

Somehow two weeks passed the way lightning strikes. Quick and ending with a bang. The last night of my suspension Eleanor had decided to stop dwelling on what I said. Meaning the awkwardness that had filled the room whenever she was there now vanished. And I liked that.

All through the two weeks i kept thinking about why Eidee would bail my mother out of jail... I knew dad wasn't going to ask her. He told me he might but I knew he wouldn't. So I knew I'd end up asking her at school today.

The minute I had my phone I was texting like hell. Corey was worried about exams. Zach wanted to kiss me. Cam stole my number from Zach's phone. Jessie was going nuts about the Emblem3 concert. Xavier just send emoji clapping hands and Tay-whore was threatening to bash me. And all I did was screen shot it, and send it to three of my contacts.

Send image to: 👉Corey👈, Zachy❤️, Cam🐧.

Oh the joy... Sweet sweet joy. I kept my phone in my hand as I got out of dad's car, saying a quick bye before slamming the door shut.

New text from: Cam🐧
Can I bash her instead?😉

New text to: Cam🐧
I wouldn't mind😉

"Hey bitch."

"Hello whore." I replied as Jessie came to my side grinning ear to ear.

"And you said you wouldn't be allowed to come to Emblem3..." Jessie mused with a snigger. "Liar."

"Well, as Tay Whore said, the pretty ones always lie." I replied in the same tart yet amused tone.

"Do I wear Chloe boots to the concert?" Jessie asked. "Or is that just a bit too weird..."

"It's a bit too weird..." I muttered.

"Hey sluts."

I turned around narrowing my eyes as Xavier smirked at us.

"Since when did he join the bitch slut whore thing?" I asked turning to Jessie who shrugged.

"Since you, got suspended." Xavier replied matter of factually. "Jess needed someone to call some rude name."

"Of course she did. So what'd i miss?"

"Everything."

"What's the mean?"

"It means Exams start today."

"Fuck... What exams do we have?"

"Music, and for that you pretty much need to perform one vocal or instrumental piece for a pass. Then there's history. You need to know a bunch of shit about Egypt. Then PE, Quaver's gonna fail you anyway. Then there's art which there is no exam for. And maths you'll be fine if you have a calculator."

"Oh god-"

"Tellie what are you doing this weekend?" Jessie cut in. "Please tell me your free."

"I'm free..." I muttered. "Why?"

"My dad has a new girlfriend, and he wants me to spend Saturday with her and she told me I could bring a friend shopping so your my friend."

"Take Xavier." I replied instantly. "He'd be more pleasant then me."

"My dad hates Xavier." Jessie shot back. "He thinks something sexual's gonna happen."

"I don't know why..." Xavier said. "Nothing's ever gonna happen."

"Well maybe when we're older..." Jessie muttered.

"No." Xavier replied bluntly. Hurt washed all over Jessie face as Xavier looked from her to me his eyes lingering with confusion.
