Silence is Deadly {ON HOLD}

(4) Koala?

I woke up this morning and Matt was gone, throwing my hair into a pony tail I start to put make up on, I decide to just do mascara, eyeliner and tried to cover the faint bruise, the ice helped a lot. I walk over to my closet, damn I need to do some shopping soon, I pick out some combat boots, black jeans and a loose knitted sweater.

I walk into class ready for this shit to start. "Hola la profesora."

"Hola Emma." I gave her a polite smile. I see Matt and I sit next to him, I get to sit next to him in Spanish, thank god.

"Hola guapa, como estas." (Hello cutie how are you)

"soy estupenda nena." (Im great babe)

"dónde estabas esta mañana?" (where were you this morning?)

"Oh I left early, I'm a morning bird." We can say whatever we want in spanish, everyone in this class only knows like 5 words in spanish. Mrs. Bloom is so sweet, whenever I want to skip or whatever to get away from the asshats she lets me come to her room or she'll give me the teachers key and let me hang out in the teachers lounge.

"Hola clase, hoy necesitas aprender a bailar." (Hi class, today you need to learn to dance.) Dancing to the speaker, she plugs in her phone. "Get up, get up, get up!" She waves her hands up. "Find a dance partner!" Some music starts to play, Fly Away With Me by Tom Walker. Some kids got up and started rearranging the desks. I looked for Matt but my view was blocked by Luke.

"Can I have this dance?" I roll my eyes as he takes my hand. Remember how I said that no one in the school talks to me? That still applies because Luke is the one that made it like that. He always fucks with my head. We used to be best friends, but then he found out about my parents. "Hello Em?"

"Fuck off." I pull my hand out of his and shove him, he doesn't go far or anywhere because he's so big, ugh.

"Playing hard to get huh?" And a smirk forms on his lips.

"Nope I'm not playing a game with you, the only game you play is fucking with girls feelings, and I tapped out a long time ago Brooks." I huff as I cross my arms and tap my foot on the ground.

"Babe," he looks into my eyes and puts his hands on my waist, " I never intended to hurt you, I really care about you and a beautiful girl like you deserves everything good." He begins to lean in as his beautiful piercing blue eyes stare in mine.

"You know penguin?" Its what I used to call him, he starts to have a faint blush, "You're right," I lean in enough to have my lips hovering by his "I do, I deserve much more than a wanker like you." Quickly I knee him in the dick, as if he had any. "Buh bye love!" I wave good bye with an innocent look on my face.

"Damn Emma, nice aim." Matt laughed

"Hey can I do something to piss him off more?" He nods, I turn to make sure Luke is looking, I smile innocently yet again, turning back to look at Matt I place my hands on his cheeks and slowly start to lean in, looking into his eyes again for approval, with his eyes approving, he leans in and thats when our lips connected, his soft lips started to pull away but I wanted more, I part my lips, colliding them once again, my stomach turns, and my whole body heats up. Our tongues wrestle, his hands grip my waist as I slide my hands to his neck, pulling him in for more, I need more. I pull away, afraid of what my best freind is going to do. With Matt's eye's staring into mine I start to get insecure.

"Am I interrupting something?" Mrs. Bloom taps on our shoulders

"Um actually Miss, you-" I hit Matt in the chest before he continued

"No profesora Im so so sorry." I'm blushing like crazy and only a few people are starting, one being Luke, haha fucker!

"Oh darling Its fine!" She leans into us more and whispers "I ship it."

"Oh boy Mrs. Bloom actully-"

"Thank you! Shes quite lovely isnt she! Now can you teach me how to lift this lady off her feet with my dancing skills?" He slightly bows.

"What skills?" I scoff, the last time he danced he ended on the ground with us both laughing off our asses.

"Now now, everyone listen!" She waves her arms, again. The whole class now blandly looks at her, "Miss Emma and Mister Matt are going to start us off, then you guys will follow their lead." Great, the whole class will be watching us. "Now come on don't be shy you two," she smirks, that smart ass, I roll my eyes "Now, put your right hand on her waist, yes just like that, now you put your left on his shoulder and now grab each other's hand, yes but uh." She comes over and adjusts our positions, pushing us closer and arranging my right and his left arm. "Beautiful! Now dance like this." She guides us and we actually do an okay job. As we dance the dillholes start to join in, I was actually having fun, staring into Matt's eyes with his arms around me.

"Um, I'm sorry for uh, yeah." I look down at my feet as we continue to dance

"No don't be, it was," he pauses to think, " Nice." I look up into his eyes again, really? Nice? He's probably just being nice to me, I mean I'm his best freind right?

"That bad? Damn I should practice more." I burst into laughter as Matt chuckled.

"Well you can always practice with me." He winked

"In your dreams." I smile, enjoying this moment.

During lunch I always walk the hallways even though Mitch always kicks my ass when he sees me, oh my poor lovely ass. Walking past locker 666 I got an idea to put on Atalia. "666 party with the devil bitch!" Jumping up and down I can't contain my excitement. Turning around I see Luke with his phone out, recording.

"Delete that. Now." I slowly start walking towards him while turning off the music.

"Why should I Koala?" My stomach turns, I wanna run and hide and cry, just cry.

"What did you say?" I ask slowly.

"You called me penguin, I ... now you know how it feels." He looks sad, dropping his phone to his side. I follow the direction he's looking in. It the place where we had our first kiss. When we were in 8th grade. God I miss those days, they were so simple, I look back to Luke but he's already looking at me. I walk closer to him, looking into his blue eyes.

"I'm sorry I kneed you in the dick." He chuckled

"Dont be, it's the least I deserve." I'm confused, what does he mean? I shake it off and wrap my arms around his torso, his muscles are tense but then he relaxes and puts his arms around me. I rest my head on his chest, right over his heart, I hear it thumping.

"Can I get a second chance? I know I messed up really bad but I miss you, and I shouldn't have left you when I found out about them, I should've stayed, you needed me the most and, and I left." His voiced cracked, I lean back to see his face, it's full of so many emotions, but I cant make out the look in his eyes. He unwrap his arms from around me and places his hands on my cheeks, being slow and gentle like im a piece of glass.
"Okay, Ill give you a second chance, but it's going to take time." A smile slowly appears onto his lips, as well as mine.
"Thank you, I won't fuck up this time, I swear." He leans down and kisses my forehead. "Koala?"
"Yes luke?" Smiling that he used the nickname.
"Its penguin for you ma'am and," he starts to look uneasy " Im gonna talk to Mitch, and I don't know how he's going to act and all so please, tell me what happens if he talks to you okay? I'm going to keep you safe for now on, I promise, and I know 'Don't make promises you can't keep' but I can keep this one okay?" He engulfed me into yet another hug.
"Okay penguin I will." I smile into his chest, happy that im giving him a second chance.
