Tossed

Chapter 4

Claire's POV

*Next day*

I dont want to go to school.

I can't show my face.

I have two classes with Luke and two with Calum.

Maybe he was just saying that to scare me. I cant really be a target.

My mom throws my sheets off me and i nearly scream.

"I can't go to school mom. I don't feel good at all" i say and fake a cough. I don't think the cough was very convincing.

"Lets go. Breakfast is on the table" she informs me.

I groan and roll out of bed.

I get dressed in my pink lace bra and throw on a floral crop top over it.

I put on white jeans and a belt.

I put my hair up in a bun and put eyeliner on only my top eyelid.

I put on a light pink blush and put all my books in my fringed purse.

I eat my breakfast and head to school.

When i am parked in the parking lot i put on my sun glasses.

Maybe no one will be able to notice me..

I reach the cafe's entrance and run across the cafe.

I need to get out of here.

I walk to my locker and put my book away. I grab my text book for first hour and throw it in my purse.

I close my locker and start choking on my spit when i see Luke leaning on the locker next to mine.

"Hiding?" he asks and grins.

I sigh. "Look can we just act like nothing happened yesterday? I only punched you because you were being an annoying pri-"

"Im over that" he interrupts.

I sigh in relief. "Good"

"But" he holds up a long finger to indicate that he isnt finished speaking. Damnit.

"I heard you rejected my best friends proposal to be his friend" he says and crosses his arms across his chest. "Hurting a friend is unforgivable ya'know"

I narrow my eyes at him. "People like you and him are not the type of people that someone like me should get involved with"

"Someone like you?" he asks and cocks his eyebrow.

"Yes. Unpopular. Invisible. And i don't trust players" i say and wave my hands in the air. Shouldn't that be obvious. "And also i like keeping my life private and if i am with you assholes then my life won't be so private now would it?"

He nods in agreement.

I turn and walk away.

He runs up in front of me and walks backwards and stays facing me.

"But when a special guy like Calum has a proposal like that do you think you can just reject it? And to be honest he isn't a player like me" he looks at the ground. He doesn't seem very proud of being a player but who's choice was that?

I sigh and ignore him. I walk around him.

This dick is getting on my last nerve.

He runs up beside me.

"I can't be seen with you" i say avoiding eye contact.

"ahh so someones playing hard to get" he says and grins.

I just want to rip out his lip piercing.

"People will be talking. Is it to hard to ask for a quiet senior year?" I sigh.

"You aren't getting rid of me that easily sweetie" he says and winks at me. He finally walks away and i flip his back off.

Calum's POV

i pull into my drive way and take the keys out of the ignition.

I sigh and rest my head back on the head rest.

I close my eyes.

She can't be seen with me? It hurts to know that the first girl that you actually approve of or find decent doesnt want to see you or be near you.

We spoke for hours in her backyard about such private things when we only knew eachother for a few hours.

She has a great sense of humour. She's so beautiful. She's the only girl i've really spoke to about such private things. Something about her made me feel so comfortable. This might sound so childish because i literally just met her a couple days ago.

I dont care though.

She's someone i'd like to get to know.

i sigh and open my car door.

I walk through the front door and plop onto the couch.

I unlock my phone and text Luke to see if he can come over.

Only minutes later he is already sitting on the recliner in my living room.

"How did i get so involved with a girl i just met?" i asked. It was supposed to be a question to myself but Luke heard me.

"Are you thinkin about that suckerpunch?" he asks and chuckles.

I laugh. "Mate i still can't believe she kicked your ass"

"Shut the fuck up. She did no such thing" he said and throws a pillow at me. "That girl sure is somethin else though"

I look at him and see him looking at the floor. I furrow my eyebrows. "Did you talk to her mate?"

"Yeah.. i was thinking i should try and get in her pants-"

I bolt up from the couch. "Not this one" i say firmly. She's to harmless to have her innocence taken from a guy that would just be playing with her. All she really wanted was to live her last year in high school quite and private. I feel guilty from invading that.

"Bro you didnt even let me finish talking" he says. "Anyway what i was saying was that i was thinking in trying to get in her pants but she isn't a girl i would want to toy with. She's not easy like the other whores in our school. I can see why you like her so much"

I narrow my eyes at him. 'Like her so much'? what?

I chuckle. "You can't think i already like her "so much"?" i ask.

He looks up at me from the recliner. "So you dont like her?"

"Ha of course not!" i was lying. I didn't want to sound like such a kid.

"Good" he says and looks at the floor again and smiles.

"You aren't thinking of toying with her are you?" i say. My blood instantly boils when it takes him a minute to answer.

"No no of course not. I just maybe want to get to know her. She isnt like other girls where they throw themselves at me. I'd like to actually try for a girl for once" he smiles again. It's rare seeing him smile. Him nor i has had a girlfriend before. Its quite extradinary for the two of us.

I'm a little disappointed in hearing this. I'm a bit jealous. She deserves a good guy that she can trust. Im not trying to talk shit on my friend but i'm speaking truthfully.

I was here for her first. I made the move on her first. I sound selfish but he always gets the ladies and he won't let me have this one? Not that he knows i sorta like her.

I take my seat on the couch. Why out of all girls would he chose mine?

I am such an asshole.
