Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 71

Lucy's POV

I sat in class on a table with Isla, her boyfriend Jack and one of his friends Oliver. Jack wanted to set me and Oliver up but when I explained to him that I'm in a long distance relationship Isla added a bit too loudly: 

"He's going in court today too!"

Luckily nobody said anything. Although I hope no one makes any rumours.

I felt my cheeks blush madly after she said that. Her boyfriend just gave me a look which was hard to describe. It was kind of a "oh really" look but with a hint of judgement. 

There's something about Jack which I dislike. I'm not quite sure what it is, I either dislike him for no reason or I dislike him for a reason which I'll soon find out. It was strange too because he was quite a gentleman and was actually really kind considering that popular boys with gorgeous girlfriends are usually cocky and vain. 

"So, Lucy." Oliver began. "How was America?"

I opened my mouth to ask him how he knew I lived in America but then stopped. Rumours are flying around about me every minute, it's like almost everyone in this school know my entire life story.

"Cool." I shrugged, trying my best to stop smiling whilst staring at my hands. I then looked up at Oliver who, for some reason, was smiling too. "The people there were really nice."

"Yeah, Americans are pretty friendly." Oliver replied. He had black, messy hair and dark brown eyes. He reminded me a little bit of 2014 Munro Chambers, not really my type. However, like Jack he was mature and friendly. 

I nodded, feeling my cheeks blush when Geo's smile appeared on my mind. Then, out of the blue Geo's face full of panic appeared. I thought of him being claimed guilty and felt a little sick.

"Oliver's making you blush huh?" Isla whispered, hopefully not loud enough for him to hear. 

"No. I'm just thinking about my boyfriend."

"It's not like he'll find out about you and Oliver." Isla giggled. I stared at her in shock. "What? Sometimes you've got to take risks."

I rolled my eyes and then looked back at my work. I don't even like Oliver anyway. I doubt he likes me too, he's too good looking to fall for someone like me. 

"One day Lucy, one day."

I wanted to tell her that I'm leaving to go to America in two weeks anyway so it's defiantly not going to happen. But I realised that I can't risk it, if my mum ever somehow finds out she'd make sure I'd never even leave the house. 

"She's too in love with Geo to even try." Jack said. I jumped, worried if Oliver heard. Luckily he was turned around whilst talking to someone else so he probably wasn't listening. 

I smiled. "True." 

I then felt my phone buzz and stared at it in panic. I had a text from Geo.

It's Geo's mum. Call me when you can x

It seemed too casual for her to be worried. I asked the teacher to go to the toilet and ran.

"H-hello?" I stammered, not expecting Geo's mum to answer so quickly.

"L-Lucy it's J-J-Jennishka." Geo's sister cried.

I felt my heart drop. Please please please make him not be claimed guilty. Please make her be crying of happiness.

"He's in jail r-right now." She sobbed. "My mum c-couldn't p-phone because she was t-t-too sad."
