====================================== 

I got a book out of my locker, knowing I had at least six minutes to my next lesson, maths. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I was a little late to maths... 

I walked very slowly to my class after the bell had gone. My headphones were blasting out an old Biblical song. It always seemed weird to me that the guy in my media class was the same guy singing the song. I listened to the lyrics wondering if he wrote them, Braces never did tell me. 

I stopped seeing Grey up ahead, looking for something. I rummaged for my iPod to change the song before he got close enough to recognise. I moved out of the way for a pupil to walk past me, I found myself a Fall Out Boy song then carried on down the corridor. Raine ran around the corner heading towards Grey. Raine had a mischievous smile on plastered on her face. She ran in her clogs bumping straight into Grey. I couldn't hear their conversation though I tried my best to lip read. I'm sure Raine apologised, Grey waved it off smiling, Raine was in front of Grey so I doubted the two had spotted me yet. Raine laughed dropping her bag on the floor, she bent down to grab it, and he helped. 

My mouth was open. It was obviously blatant Raine was flirting with Grey. 

She touched his shoulder before waltzing off, swinging her ass side to side. I thought I saw a Grey's mouth drop open a little. Raine walked past oblivious that I was there. I quickly walked past Grey. He said hi to me but I put in my other headphone.  

I didn't really know why I was so angry, I hated to even admit it, but I was. How could such a slag like Raine cause Grey's mouth to drop open like that? Okay, so I was jealous. But, I had Raine's 'friend' or boyfriend or whatever, in my bed most days and I just found out that I was carrying his baby. But I was jealous that Raine was flirting with Grey.  

Did that make any sense? No, I didn't think so either.

Watching everyone get into their cars while Eli and Raine snogged each other's brains out. I caught a glimpse of Raine opening her eyes to watch Grey get into a blacked out car, while she was still attached to Eli.  

Argh! That was it! 

I walked over to the two - not caring how Eli would take it - and shouted at the two to hurry up and drive me home. Eli stropped off when Bindi starting laughing at him. I gave Raine a look between disgusted and satisfied. She spun on her clogs and headed towards her car. 

"Leave Grey alone slag." I shouted before I had even time to react to what I had said. She turned back quickly stunned, she didn't say anything and instead turned her back to me walking away. 

"Eden! You fucking called me to drive you home, so hurry the fuck up!" Eli shouted at me. 

Storming to the car, I climbed into the seat glaring at him. "Why? You always take your sweet time with me." 

Eli looked taken aback, Bindi sniggered in the backseat. "Eden, like that made any sense?" 

Eli and I stared at one another. I grumbled my apologies.

Changing the subject extremely quicky, Eli talked about a party we were going to that night.

"HEY! Look who it is, Eden Lodge! Eden, say hellooo to my little friends." His eyes shone brighter but they looked different somehow. Grey swung an arm around me pulling me into a hug. 

"Grey... you have your wig on remember?" I whispered into his ear.

After not really wanting to go to this party I know had decided that I bloody well needed one. Bindi had persuaded me and since I was still a little jealous and homesick of Kristin back home I thought some drink would help put my mind at ease. I dressed in a halter-neck deep red dress that hugged my curves and showed off my chest.
