Paper Hearts

Chap 15

"BEEP! BEEP!"The stupid alarm blared. I let out a sigh as I pulled the covers of myself.

My eyes closed trying to fall back to sleep, I placed my hand under my cheek my eyes still closed but i couldn't fall back to sleep.

The alarm stopped for a second then carried on. I opened my eyes and sat up with the covers wrapped around me I looked at the alarm clock. I smacked the snooze button ready to go back asleep.

Cole was laid next to me, the covers just around his waist his chiselled chest showing his hair still in a messy quiff.

I just looked at him and smiled, he looked ever so handsome just there sleeping.  I laid my head against my pillow turned to him.

"Staring are we?"Cole spoke. I let out a soft chuckle. "Maybe?"

He snaked his arms around me and pulled me closer to him he brought his lips to my forehead and kissed my forehead. "Morning Love."

"Morning."I mumbled as my hand ran through his hair.

"Has the alarm gone off yet?"Cole asked as he tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear.

I nodded. "Yeah stupid alarm woke me up."

"That's what it's supposed to do."Cole teased. "Wake people up early."

"Well why would we need to wake up early for?"

"School."Cole replied with a smile. "Place where we go and learn."

Oh shit..Totally forgot...

He let  go of me as I pulled away from him. I picked up his tshirt off the floor and put it on. I got out of the bed. "I'm having a shower."

"I'll join you in an minute."

-----

After couple of moments of lust in the shower then Cole helping me with my dressing then breakfast and taking my pills then we left the apartment.

He drove into the school car park. My palms turned into pools of sweat, Cole placed his hand on my knee and slowly rubbed it. "You'll be fine Ivy."

I just let out a sigh. I didn't want Cole to drop me off all the way into school even though we attend to same school but I didn't want people to know.

I didn't want people to gather around me and expect me to say everything about me and Cole. I didn't want to be known. Because then people dig and then don't stop until they find something gold.

Cole turned the engine off. "Want to walk in together?"

"No. I mean you'll probably want to be with your friends."I replied with a smile. "Not with me at the moment. Have fun."

I turned to the door ready to open the door, Cole pulled my arm and I turned to him. He looked at me and we kissed.

He pulled away. "We'll meet up for lunch? Fields?"

I nodded. "Sounds good."

He gave me a warm smile. I smiled at him then I turned my back to him and opened the door. I picked up my bag from the floor and hung it on my shoulder. "Bye." Then I walked away from his car.

I could feel the eyes on me. I quickly walked into school building. I went to my locker. I opened my locker door I pulled out my history book and my purple binder.

I closed my locker door to see a girl with long fake nails,A beehive for hair, a really short skirt and a tight crop top on. Her fake Michael Kors high heels tapped against the floor.

Two girls stood behind her. All of them was chewing gum.

"I don't know who you are."She spoke as she chewed on her gum. "But stay away from Cole. He's mine." She tapped her long fake nails against her locker door.

A girl which looked kind of the same as her but with really heavy make up walked by her. "Yeah he's hers."

I rolled my eyes at them and turned around. My back towards them. I started to walk away when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I turned over my shoulder to see that same girl behind me with her hand on her shoulder. "Phatnom stay away from Cole."She spoke again. "Otherwise other things will be burned."

I pulled her hand away and just walked away but a little quicker. My burns. The thing I've been hiding ever since I attended to this school now everyone knows.

-

My eyes brimmed with tears. I never thought it would be like this. I spent the last period with bunch of insults from people in class.

About my burns and me being with Cole.

I quickly made my way to the fields, a tear trickled down my face as I made my way to the tree where Cole was.

I quickly wiped it away. He gave me a wave as his back leaned against the tree.

He looked at me and he engulfed me into a hug. I held back my tears, his hand slowly rubbed my back. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."I mumbled. "Don't worry about it." I pulled away from the hug. He sat down as I sat down next to each other.

He pulled out two eggs sandwich "The best I could do."

I nodded and smiled at him. He handed me one I ate a bit of it.

"What's wrong?"

"Ever since I attended this school all I wanted was just a few friends and no one to know about my burns or anything about my past just no one to know me."

His hand rubbed my back. "What's wrong Ivy?"

"This isn't fair that people judge me because of my burns and who I'm with."

"Who has said something?"He asked in anger tone. "Tell me Ivy because you are an amazing human and you deserve the world."

I laid my head on his chest and sobbed on his chest.
