Chase, My Step Brother

Chapter Ten - Confusing Day -

The weekend seemed to pass pretty quickly and although I enjoyed spending the weekend with Jules and the boys I was secretly scared of going back to school after what happened at the party. Julie still didn't talk about Brad but I didn't blame her. My father spent the entire drive talking about his weekend and taking Lloyd to the lake. It was cute.

"Have a good day" he beamed as I gave a false smile dreading of getting out of the car. I took a deep breath slinging my bag over my shoulder as I entered the gates as like always I seemed invisible. No stares or whispers maybe it was all forgotten. But just my luck there he was standing tall and muscular right next to my locker. The sight of him made me stop in my tracks, god he was a smirk jerk standing there glaring around until his eyes fell on me.

"There you are" he spoke bitterly as I attempted to flee away from him as I knew I was who he was after. But of course like any jocks they travel in packs. Two of his friends blocking my way giving small smirks as I turned back to Brad who was approaching.

"What do you want?" I mumbled as I felt students stare and stop to see the commotion.

"Not so tough without your prestige Sterling boys are you" a loud chuckle erupting from him as I began to slightly worry. He was the jerk not me! And why would he snoop to pick on a girl.

"You made an enemy and you know what I do to my enemies Olive?"

"Its Olivia" I corrected him again but he didn't look to impressed.

"What's going on?" a voice belted as all eyes fell to Carter who stood there with his arm slid over Amber, guess they are back together once again. It was an unpleasant sight for me seeing him with her.

"Just sorting out the Sterling slut" his words hit me sharply, I flinched at the words as well they were hurtful and completely not true. If anything he was the slut and he was the one who cheated on Julie, which made me wonder where she was.

"Don't be rude" Carter spoke directly at Brad which made me wonder if he had actually just said that.

"So she's the one who slapped you?" amusement in Ambers voice as she glanced at me studying me, I felt like I was put on a pedestal and watched vigorously.

"Good job you probably deserved it" Amber scoffed as Brads anger grew wilder and his glare burning a hole through an unphased Amber who clung tightly to Carter as I tore my eyes away. The bell rang as to me it was a saviour as the students still loitered around us awaiting Brads next move.

"She's a girl, leave her alone" Carter simply spoke as I noticed the tension build between him and Brad, and I was just as surprised.

"Why are you defending her? She hangs with those Sterling boys" Brad snapped towards Carter. Carters eyes flicking to mine as he too studied me briefly.

"Like I said Brad leave the girl alone" with that Brad went to say something but stopped noticing Carters face turning stern.

"Fine" he snapped turning hot on his heel and storming through the students.

"Let's go babe" Amber chimed with laughter as the crowd slowly started to fade away as they left for class. I hadn't noticed I was glued in the same spot almost in shock on what had happened. Not only was Brad just as angry at me as he was Friday but Carter and Amber where back together. I was never an emotional person but I couldn't help but fight back tears as I was literally so angry with Brad and the embarrassing situation that had just unfolded. Once everyone cleared away with there wide eyes set on me and whispers being exchanged I raced to my locker putting my bag away and grabbing my book as I slammed it shut in frustration.

A yelp escaping me as I jammed my finger in the locker pulling it out swiftly as the sharp pain engulfed me and that was the last straw as I felt a tear escape my eye. Damn it! Another falling as I rushed to the bathroom.
