From now on my life seemed to be nearly perfect. Every morning I woke up in Blake's arms, he gave me a kiss on my forehead and there was almost nothing left of my inhibitions I had used to have in front of guys.
The only really annoying thing in my life was this stupid school which I hated more every day. I hated the system. The subjects. The missing sense. The building. The waste of time. The enforcement which didn't allow me to stay at home where I would be happy with Blake. The homework. The teachers. But what I hated more than everything were the other students.
Even though I was back here for a week already they still stared at me. Like constantly. It's so annoying, you couldn't imagine. I still could feel their faces when I turned around or when I lowered my look on my papers to continue drawing senseless lines. Which surprisingly always builded a figure at the end. Seriously, I never intended to draw something specific but when I was done there was suddenly a figure.
What was disturbing was that these were always different and partly really random things. One time I looked at Blake's face but with a teddy bear body underneath his head. When this happened I quickly crumpled the piece of paper and let it disappear in my rucksack. Then I turned around to find these two annoying girls who still asked me everyday about New Hope Club. They didn't notice me. Thank god.
It had become like a ritual. Every day after the last lesson - I could have bet every day again - they stood next to my table in their chic heels and skirts with a blouse and a cardigan over it with their names on it as if they couldn't remember their name without looking at their jacked. I was already used to their bitchy face expressions. I didn't care about it anymore.
A little and tiny bit I even felt sorry for them. I knew how awesome the boys were and I was sure I would have given everything to see them one day if I had been a fan. Okay, actually I was a fan but you know what I mean.
But the girls simply tried it way too hard. I knew exactly the consequences if I told them about New Hope Club. These fangirls are this kind of fangirls who would never get what privacy meant. Especially for famous boys like the boys.
Suddenly they would be my 'best friends forever' and would meet me every day at home. I was convinced. I was sure that I didn't even want to know what they would do if they found out about Blake and me.
"Hey Selena" They stepped closer with their squeaky voices. How I hated them. "Did you read what Blake tweeted yesterday?"
Here we go again. I had to force my eyes to not roll that obviously.
"Hey ..." I said stretching the y while I had to look at their stitched names on their cardigans once again. Personally I was glad that they wore these jackets because I couldn't remember their names even if I had wanted to. Maybe it was also a strategy of them: they wanted me to remember them if I actually was a friend of New Hope Club. Well, mission failed.
"Brianna, Ashlee." I said. I ignored their question.
"I was like Oh.My.Gosh." Ashlee answered instead. She always exaggerated to support her feelings.
"Oh my god, yes, just the same here. Recently he posts such romantic things! I wonder what the reason is!" Brianna agreed with Ashlee and put a finger on her lips while thinking.
I had to surpress a grin.
Ashlee breathed in sharply. "Do you think-"
"- of course I do!" Brianna said.
Then I had to swallow. Did they know something? I hoped that my face didn't lose its color. Blake hadn't tattled something accidentally, had he? I trusted him... especially since we just had talked about it yesterday. I was glad about my unknown person and he had agreed with me.
"Oh my god, this is so insane!" Ashlee almost freaked out, putting both of her hands on her head. That was the point where I was afraid that somebody saw us. It was very embarrassing to stand next to them.
But a much heavier thought of mine was that Blake could have tattled something he shouldn't. It would be too easily. One wrong word on Twitter. One wrong angle of the camera. I swallowed again.
"Excuse me." I said and almost ran out of the room, leaving the girls alone. I didn't care if they stared at me. They did it the whole day anyway.
I ran out of the school, around two corners after which Reece waited for me in Adam's car. He waited there to avoid curious gazes und to stay undercover. For both, his own and my safety.
I quickly opened the door of the car and let my self fall next to Reece.
"Hello" he greeted me with a smile.
"Hey." I said.
"Everything alright?" He asked because he noticed my fast breath after my sprint from school.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just bring me home as quickly as you can. How about you?" I asked back, trying to catch my breath.
"I'm fine. Is there a special reason for your impatience?" He asked as he started the engine.
"Nope." I lied because it was something I should talk to Blake at first.
He did what I had asked him for and drove as fast as he could.
Right when the car stopped at home I jumped out of the car and asked Reece where Blake was.
"In his room." He yelled because I already arrived at the door.
I had already closed it behind me but opened it again to yell a "Thanks for driving by the way!" and closed it again before he could response.
"Hi" I yelled towards the living room because I knew that Adam was there as well and ran upstairs to Blake's room.
I knocked on his door and opened it before he replied. Blake sat on his bed with his laptop on his lap and when he looked up and saw me a bright smile grew on his lips. "Hey my angel. I've waited for you."
