Cruel love games (au ) On Hold

chapter 4

"okay so we really should start working now." liam came over and sat next to me on the small couch in his room. maybe if you would put your nerd shirt back on so i can stop starring at your body. i couldn't concentrate on anything but the fact that liam was a undercover HOTTIE! "well uhm, we could start with what you think the effects of bullying are?" this is so dumb, how am i supposed to right my opinion on bullying? i dont really like it a guess but it gives me a power over someone. 

"okay, well the effects on me is that everyone thinks I'm a loser. they have since freshman year. only niall and harry came to my 16th birthday." liam jotted down notes and spoke "well i think the effects of bullying are teaching the ones getting picked on to grow a tougher skin" he glared at me "how could you say that Tessa! you dont know anything about bullying! physical or verbal!" i shook my head, oh liam you are so wrong there.. we sat in silence as liams words seemed to trap anything else we had to say into our throats. we continued writing small thoughts about bullying and finally he spoke up, "listen I'm sorry. i shouldn't have said anything, are you still gonna stay for dinner?" he looked at me ad i gave him a small smile "i wouldn't miss it." not even for the company, even though civil company would be nice. but i didn't want to miss the hot food that i would get to eat.   

it was silent so i decided to ask liam questions, might as well get to know him right. "you have tattoos?" i asked and he looked up, surprised and he put down his work. uhm yeah, i mean i turned 18 six months ago so i got them as soon as i could." we were both 18, surprise. i nodded "can i see them? i have a fascination with them." no actually i just really want to see if you look just as good with the shirt off as you do with it on. he shrugged and stood up, pulling off the shirt and i stared. crosses, intricate tribal tattoos, small little bird, and then on that i decided was my favorite. a small quote on his arm that said "everything i wanted but nothing ill ever need" i smiled up at him, "thanks for showing me liam. me nodded and pulled his shirt back on.

"do you have any tattoos Tess?" i asked her when i sat back down. " i do actually, she took off her jacket to reveal a cross with small birds on her shoulder. then i saw the next one, but i don't think i was supposed to see it. curly cursive writing on her wrist that said fighter, but i kept it to myself that i saw it because i also saw the small marks that littered around it. i smiled at her as she pulled the sweater back on and we started once again working on our essays. i couldn't help but wonder why she chose me for her partner. she hated me i thought, maybe she will change her mind since i took her driving and showed her my tattoos only harry and niall know about. "don't tell my parents about the tattoos please,they will flip." i decided to be safe and not sorry about my parents finding out " no worries" she said and continued working. we didn't speak again till my mom called us down for dinner. 

i only could hope my mom and dad would be civil to Tess, they don't take well to non rich families, which is why they liked Danielle so much. "thank you so much for letting me stay for dinner." Tessa's voice broke through my thoughts and it was so much nicer when she wasn't making fun of you. "of course, I've been taught to be a good hostess, which means inviting people to dine with us" my mom gave her a fake smile and Tessa just looked down at the food in front of her. an assortment of chicken, salad, fruits and other things were spread onto our plates and table, and as i watched Tess i could tell he wanted to be shoving it in her face, she was starving, but she paced herself. "so Tess, any plans on where you are going to college?' my father finally spoke, and tesa looked frightened "no actually. I'm not going to college." i thought my parents faces were gonna turned purple because i was pretty sure they just started chocking at her answer.

"not going?' my dad finally spit out, "Nope, i don't have the money, or a scholarship." tessa looked down seeming ashamed to admit she didn't have the money to go to college. "well that's a misfortune" my mom huffed, "you will never get a good job" and i just  wanted this dinner to be over. "well actually, there is many places looking for like daycare teachers, and you dont need any type of college education. and i love kids. my father and mother stopped talking and we all finished dinner in silence. as we walked back up to me room to get ready to take her home i gave Tessa an apology for my parents which she brushed off assuring it was fine, but i could tell by her eyes that it wasn't really. i drove the mustang to take her home which made her smile, "drop me off right her" she finally spoke up and i stopped in front of a nice house and i realized that she didn't have it all that bad. "thanks, see you tomorrow. " i smiled and waved goodbye, as she went around the other side of the house, i was curious but didn't go seek out why she went around. with that i turned around and drove home.
