Captured

chapter 46

• Renae's POV •

I hear my alarm go off and grab my phone from the nightstand. 5:30, ugh. I go onto twitter and go through my time line favoriting and re-tweeting others tweets. I get out of bed and walk out of my room and into the kitchen. "Well good morning" my mom says drinking her coffee. "Morning" I say blandly as I grab a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch from the pantry. I pour it into a bowl and fill it up with some milk. I grab a spoon from the drawer and set myself down on the table and begin to eat my cereal. "Are you going to take me to school today?" I ask my mom. "What time do you start school today?" she asks. "7:15" I say taking another spoonful of my cereal. "Yeah, I'll be able to take you to school" She says and walks out of the kitchen. I finish my cereal and put the bowl and spoon in the sink. I walk back upstairs and head into the shower.

I put on my black high waisted skinny jeans, mint loose cropped sweater and my white converse. I begin to put my make up on when my phone vibrates. Jerusha. I was actually beginning to become closer with her, never thought I would to be honest.

" If I wore a black skater skirt with a loose white crop top what shoes would look good??"

" try black or white shoes! haha"

" Okay thanks :)"

I finish my makeup and hair and check the time, 7:00. I grab my bag and walk out of my room closing the door behind me. I walk to my moms room and knock on the door as I open it. "I'm ready" I say. "Okay, I'll meet you in the garage!" she shouts from her bathroom. I walk down the stairs and to the garage. I open the garage and get into my moms Denali and wait.

She gets into the car and turns it on. "Everyone in?" my mom asks looking back as she backs out of the driveway. "Yeah!" Ethan says. It's been awhile since I've carpooled with them. "Where do you want me to drop you off?" she asks as she gets closer to the school. "The front" I say.

My mom pulls into the U driveway as I unbuckle my belt. "Well have a good day at school! Let me know who gives you a ride home" she says and drives away. I began walking to the front entrance when I hear someone call my name. I turn around and see Alyssa. "Oh hey, Alyssa" I say smiling slightly. "You don't have a car?" she asks curiously. "I did, but I crashed it" I say disappointingly. "oh I'm sorry" she says."Well I can't do anything about it" I say shrugging my shoulders. "Hey do you know where room 305 is?" Alyssa asks as we walk into the school. "Yeah that's English! third floor, I'll take you if you want" I say and chuckle. "Yeah, please!" she says laughing.

Only twenty more minutes until lunch and I couldn't wait any longer. Ms.Caty's class was always the longest. I watched her write something on the board about the beginning of the alphabet. I feel someone tap my shoulder and turn myself around. "Do you have tutoring today?" Jerusha asks in a whisper. "Yeah, still have a lot to make up" I say in an annoyed tone. "Oh" she says disappointingly. "Why?" I ask with furrowed eyebrows. "Because I was going to invite you to come to my house later" she says smiling. "Oh..well tutoring ends at 4:30" I say. "Oh well then come to my house after!" she says a little too loud. "Girls! Warning one!" Ms.Caty tells us. We ignore her and continue talking. "Okay, do you think you can pick me up after tutoring because I don't have a car" I ask. "Yeah, no problem!" she says. The bell rings and everyone gets up.

Jerusha and I both walk down the stairs. "So whats up with you and Zayn?" Jerusha asks curiously. "What do you mean?" I ask smiling back at a freshman girl. "Are you guys talking, or are you guys just sex buddies?" she asks smirking. I laugh and shake my head. "I don't know!" I say. "Would you want him to be your boyfriend?" she asks as we enter the cafeteria. "I wouldn't mind" I say blushing. "Aha! I knew you had a thing for Zayn!" Jerusha says pointing at me and chuckling. We walk past the tables and out the back doors onto the grass area. I see Harry coming up to us. "Hey beautiful" he tells Jerusha and plants a soft kiss on her lips. "Hi Harry" I wave showing my existence. "Oh hey Renae!" Harry says with a smile. "Hey Renae, lets go get lunch in the cafeteria!"Jerusha says weirdly as she pulls me back to the cafeteria. "Why? You never get lunch here" I say chuckling. Harrys eyes go wide as he looks behind me. I start to turn around but he puts his am around me and pulls Jerusha along with him as he exits the front of the cafeteria. "What are you doing?!" I ask confused. "Nothing!" Harry says chuckling. "You're not a good liar" I tell him. I watch him gulp and lick his lips. He looks over at Jerusha with worry in his eyes. "How about we go read some books in the library!" Jerusha says faking a smile. "Are you serious, guys I know you too well. Neither of you would want to even set foot in the library, one because Jerusha you dont like quiet places and two, Harry you hate reading! Just tell me whats going on!" I say frusterated. They look at eachother again and then look back at me. "Okay, I'm just going to go now because I'm hungry! So I'll catch up with you guys later!" I say and walk back into the cafeteria.

I pass the tables and exit the back of the cafeteria. I stop in my tracks to see Zayn and Alyssa making out with their hands all up on each other. I feel a knot in my throat but I didn't want to cry. I turn to see Harry, Niall, Jerusha and Ginnet staring at me with pity.I run past them trying to get out of sight before someone sees me crying. I walk into the nearest bathroom and lock myself in a stall. I felt like a complete idiot.

I walk out of the front door of the school and take my phone out. I text Jerusha and sit on a bench and scroll through tumblr as I wait. I look up as I hear footsteps coming my way. Zayn. "What are you doing here?" I ask feeling uneasy. "I wanted to apologize" he says looking down. I chuckle and roll my eyes. "God, you can't even apologize without looking away" I say with an annoyed tone. He sits next to me and looks into my eyes. "I said I was sorry" he says not looking away. I look away and stare into the distance. "I didn't kiss her!" Zayn says motioning his arms towards me. "Oh bullshit Zayn!" I say getting up walking to Jerusha's car. "Renae!" Zayn yells and grabs my wrist pulling me towards him. "Leave me alone!" I yell trying to escape from his grip. He pulls me closer, our bodies touching. "Let. go. of. me." I say staring into his eyes. He leans in and brushes his lips against mine as I push him away and get into Jerusha's car.

"Are you okay?" Jerusha asks as she drives away from the school. "I don't know" I say and look out the passenger window. "Do you still want to come over?" she asks. "Sure, why not" I say faking a smile.

Jerusha pulls into her driveway. "Who else is here?" I ask as we both get out of the car. "Harry, Niall and Louis" she says. I nod my head and swallow the knot in my throat. Jerusha and I both walk in. I feel all eyes on me as I stand there. "Do you want to leave your stuff in my room?" Jerusha asks. "Sure" I say and follow her upstairs and into her bedroom.

I set my things down and sit on Jerusha's bed as I stare into spaces "Hey, are you okay?" Jerusha asks sitting next to me, rubbing my back. "I'm fine" I say and get up taking a deep breath. "come on, I won't let anything happen" she says sighing. I follow her down the stairs and see Alyssa sitting next to Niall. I roll my eyes and ignore her as I walk into the kitchen getting a cup of water. I see Jerusha tense up as I turn around and see Alyssa standing in front of me staring at me. "excuse me" I say trying to move out of the way but she blocks me. I roll my eyes and stand there walking around the island but she moves quickly and stands in front of me with a grin plastered on her face. "did Zayn go running up to you crying for you to accept his apology?" she says frowning sarcastically. "leave me alone" I whisper quickly as I look down feeling anger rage through me.

"Alyssa just leave her alone" Harry says walking up to her pulling her away. "No, leave her, I'd like to see this" Louis says smirking. I feel a knot in my throat and push Alyssa hard as Harry catches her and I exit the house running down the sidewalk as fast as I could wanting get away from everyone.

I was still walking, close but far from my house. I feel the hum of a truck pull up next to me. A relief fills me as I think it's Liam but it fades away fast as I see the familiar face.
