"Kev, for the millionth time! We kissed once, there's nothing going on between us and I have absolutely no right to be upset about this!" "But you are upset about it" he wiggled his eyebrows at me. I threw my head into my hands. "Of course I am! Urgh!" I have never been more frustrated without having a proper reason to be frustrated. "It's just not fair! It's like Jessica Dawson has been scientifically programmed to ruin my life!" "I know, Chlo. I don't know what changed! I thought he was into you!"

I heard my phone buzz, and picked it up to view the incoming text message.
From: Sweetpea Hey, Blondie. How come I didn't see you around today? So much for picking up where we left off.
"Urgh!" I yelled again. I cannot deal with this guy. "What?" asked Kev, and I read the text out for his opinion. "That fucking prick" was his response. "I'm not even going to reply. He doesn't deserve the time of day" "Like hell!" said Kev, snatching the phone from my hands and typing out a reply.
To: Sweetpea Because you were far too busy with a blonde slut on your lap, asshole.
"Nice, Kev" I said when I read over the message. "Now it looks like I care!" "Because you do!" he laughed and I couldn't stay mad at him for long.
From: Sweetpea Didn't know you were THAT into me, princess.
I couldn't hold back the smirk that lifted the corners of my lips. Maybe I can forgive and forget.
To: Sweetpea I think from our few minutes in the classroom you know exactly how into you I am, Sweets
From: Sweetpea I can remember how you purred in my ear like a little kitten, baby.
I've got him exactly where I want him.
Sweetpea's POV: "Gimme another, Toni" I sat at the bar, chugging drink after drink after drink. "SP, you do know I'm going to have to cut you off pretty soon, don't you?" she said, displaying an emotion that wasn't frequently seen on her usually stern face. Concern.

"I'm gonna go see Chloe" I stood up, finishing off my beer. "No way" Toni said, putting her very cold hand on my arm. "You can't do that, Pea. She'll be so pissed off at you! How do you expect to act like you care about her after what you did" "Im not gonna act like I care, because she clearly doesn't care about me either. But Toni, without being a pig, I really wanna sleep with the girl and that's not gonna happen if I sit here moping" I said, actually kind of clearly for the amount I'd had to drink. "She's an idiot if she goes anywhere near you" Toni wiggled her eyebrows at me. "Well, Topaz. I need to build some bridges before things get any worse" I said, grabbing my jacket off of the back of the barstool as I left.
To: Blondie🤷🏼♀️ Where are you
Chloe's POV:
I became frustrated with the algebra problem I was currently forcing myself to finish, and I slammed my book onto my bed beside me, running my hands through my hair in frustration. I picked up my phone, turning it back on (because turning it off to study math clearly wasn't working) and read the waiting text, before typing out my reply.
To: Sweetpea At my house, and you should be at yours. Where are you?
From: Sweetpea On my way to your house.
I could hear the alarm bells ringing.
To: Sweetpea Are you insane? You cannot come here. Ed would kill you, not to mention what my parents would do if they saw you here.
I barely had to wait a second for his reply.
From: Sweetpea Then come see me.
I couldn't hold back the grin. Oh, what the hell. You're only young once. I pulled on my coat and shoes, deciding to stick with my pyjama bottoms.
"Going to Ronnie's! Be home in an hour!" I yelled to whichever family member was listening, not bothering to wait for a reply before I was out of the door and in my car. I got to the end of the street and there he was, leaning against a streetlamp with his signature leather jacket pulled tight around him to keep out the cold night air. He didn't see me and I took the opportunity to beep my horn.
"So not funny" he grumbled when he climbed into the car, but he was still amused, the corners of his mouth peeked into a cheeky grin as I tried to hold in my laughter. I put the car into gear and continued on down the road. "I can't believe you've been studying all night, you total nerd" he said, before doing some giggling of his own.
"Much more productive than sitting in the Wyrm all night, which by the smell of your breath" I sniffed for added drama "is exactly where you've been, Mr." "Well, Princess" he whispered in my ear. "I can't lie to you" I felt his warm grip on the inside of my thigh.
"Don't call me that" I muttered under my breath. "Does it get to you, baby" he slid his hand further and further up my thigh, and I suddenly felt the cat get unbearably hot. I turned onto one of the side roads and I felt him remove his hand as we pulled over by the side of Sweetwater river.
"You can't just DO that!" I said in frustration as I turned to face him. "You can't do that" "Do what?" He looked genuinely clueless and it infuriated me to the point where I didn't know whether to hit him or kiss him. "You can't just pretend you want me after today! After the way you were with that bitch! I don't even want to touch you knowing she has first." I couldn't mask the the jealousy anymore but at this point I didn't need to. We both knew that's what it was. He looked at me, muttering something indecipherable under his breath.

In a second his calm demeanour broke.
"And you think I like knowing all those jocks have had their hands on you!" He said. He regretted the words as soon as he said them. "You're such a fucking ass, Sweetpea" I said, my anger getting stronger and stronger. "I have only ever slept with one guy, damnit! And it was fucking months ago. It's a bit shit knowing I have to take care of myself and you're out there fucking the one person in this world I hate more than you right now"
"Aw, baby. Are you jealous?" He smirked at me and I snapped. I raised my hand to slap him but he caught it mid air before I made contact with his face. "Bad move, Blondie" he dragged my arm down and looked me dead in the eye. "That was a very bad move."
His irises were dark and I felt my heart race with fear. Shit.
A/N: Took a while but here we are! Next chap out at some point this weekend! Love💕 - Charlie x
