Meant to be?

CHAPTER TWELVE: looks • regrets

Mackenzie

"She's dating Johnny Orlando!?"

"The bad boy?"

"Wow.... that says a lot"

All these whispers were spreading around the school and just my luck I could hear everyone. How do people even know...?

I mean it's not really bad. Just because I'm the princess of the school and he's the bad kid doesn't make a difference...

Right?

I push up on the notch of my locker and pull it open. I sigh and shove my books in slowly closing the door. I turn around and slam into someone. I wipe my cheek cause somehow a few tears slipped

"Hey don't cry." His soft gentle voice comforts me rubbing his thumb on my cheek. I sniffle and lift my head up "I'm not." I lie and tuck a piece of hair behind my ear but he gave me the look. The "really? Your lying" look.

"Did you hear everybody?" I quietly say looking around at everyone, some people were starring some didn't even care but I couldn't focus. I felt the whole world judging me.

"Yes but I don't care. Mackenzie I'm in love with you." He sternly says placing his hand in my cheek. I wrap my arms around his neck and he grips my waist pulling me into a hug.

"MACKENZIE FRANCIS ZIEGLER!!" I hear an angry voice call out. I pull away surprised and turn to see a blonde girl coming towards me.

She grabs my arm and pulls me forcefully away from Johnny and out the front doors.

"What are you doing with that boy!!!?" She yells very angry and my mom NEVER gets angry. I look down and my cheeks were heating up. Do I lie?

"What do you mean?" I ask innocently. She folds her arms and gives me a death stare. "Why are you around Johnny Orlando."

"That wasn't him. That was someone else" I lie trying to look confused. Her mouth opens like she was going to say something. She unfolds her arms "oh I'm sorry Kenz I'm just worried. He's dangerous and you know that. He's not aloud anywhere near you." She touches my cheek and waltzes away.

I let out a deep breath.

Fuck Mackenzie that was close

Why was she even here anyways? I watched her as walked out the front doors. Weird.... I walk back to the halls and see Johnny kissing some other girl. I know he's the player and all and he says that he loves me and those girls mean nothing to him but i can't say it doesn't hurt me.

He's never kissed me like that...

I walk right past him and to my locker. I slowly open it grabbing my bag when I hear laughing and squealing. I turn my head and see Ruby and Brynn. Brynn was laughing while Ruby was jumping up and down squealing.

Brynn was grabbing Ruby by the arm telling her to calm down. I slightly smile and brynns head flashes to me. She stops laughing and gives me weak smile. She slings her and around Ruby's shoulder and they walk off.

I sigh and drop my head down and face my locker. I wrap my backpack around my shoulder and slowly shut my locker. I wipe my cheek as a few tears somehow managed to slip out.

I walk towards to the doors when someone comes from behind me and places there hands in my shoulders stopping me. "Hey is everything okay?" Johnny asks looking at me.

"Yeah. Everything's great. I-I have to go." I weakly smile lying. He smiles and drops his arms at his side. I couldn't really stand Johnny right now. I love him but sometimes him being the player and always kissing girls is hard for me. I can't always be happy.

Everyone thinks I can. But I'm human not a fairy tale princess.

"Johnny!" Hayden's voice calls. Johnny turns his head to Hayden. He looks up and nods his head. "I gotta go. I'll text you later." He kisses my cheek and bolts off.

I weekly smile again and walk off. I turned my head and saw Johnny laughing with Jayden, Brynn and Ruby taking pictures on their phone. I turn my head around and wipe the single tear dripping down.

Maybe I'm not good enough. I'm not me anymore.
