Afraid

Chapter 12

Natasha's Pov

When I arrived at school the next morning I went straight to my locker to get out my books for first and second period which was History and maths.

I started to walk to my history classroom but just as I was about to turn the corner I bumped my arm and my books fell to the ground and my papers went everywhere. Seriously?

I bent down and started to pick them up until I heard faint voices coming from the hall. Florence's voice. I stopped picking up my papers and eavesdropped.

"Yeah of course," I heard Florence say.

"Good," someone said to her.

"Oh my god," the other voice said and continued "Did you hear about Aiden and Leah?"

"Obviously, I started the rumour," I heard Florence say with lots of confidence. I covered my mouth in shock.

"Oh. So it's not true?" The voice asked her.

"Pfft please she's still a fricken virgin," Florence laughed and I didn't hear them talking anymore, so I quickly picked up my papers and books and quickly walked off in search for Leah.

Leah's POV:

I walked into school really tired. I couldn't seem to keep my eyes open. I had barely got any sleep last night because all I could think about was Aiden and the rumour and Tyde totally rejecting me. What was up with that?

"Leah!" I heard someone yell which broke me from my thoughts.
I turned around and saw Natasha.

"Hi," I said sleepily.

"I have to tell you something," She said eagerly.

"Right now?" I yawned.

"Yes now," she said and pulled me into a hall where no one was.

"Florence is the one who started the rumour, not Aiden."

"What? How do you know?"

"I was walking to class and heard Florence telling someone that she started the rumour so I went to find you to tell you," she puffed.

I swear I felt my face turn 20 different shades of red from anger.

"Oh my god," I mumbled and stormed off in search for that two faced bitch I used to call my friend.

"No Leah!" Natasha called after me but I didn't turn around, I was too angry for that.

I picked up my walking pace. I was eager to find her and tell her off. Like who the hell does she think she is?

I turned the corner and saw her at her locker getting books out. I walked up to her.

"I know you started the rumour about me and Aiden!" I yelled at her, not caring about the people around us.
I quickly glanced back behind me and saw people crowding around us to watch, including Aiden.

She slammed her locker door closed and rolled her eyes "What rumour?"

"Don't play dumb with me, you know exactly what I'm talking about!" I yelled again. I felt Aiden's hand grab my arm but I shook it off.

"I have no idea," she smirked. She knew exactly what I meant.

"You made the rumour that Aiden and I slept together!"

"I may have," She smiled and if I thought I was angry before, well I was ten times more angry now.

"You bitch!" I yelled.

"Well atleast I'm not a slut for sleeping with someone," she smirked even more.

"You know that's not true," I emphasised the 'know' with anger.

"And besides I'm not the one doing it with a college student," I harshly said, referring to her and Tyde. I heard some "oohhh's" from the crowd. She looked at me in disbelief that I told everyone but quickly recovered.

"At least I'm not a virgin," She said and everyone gasped, while my face was full with anger. I reached out and slapped her. Wow that was something I was not expecting myself to do.

Florence looked at me in shock. She tried to hit me but got pulled back by people in the crowd. I tried to reach for her but felt arms wrap around my stomach and pull me back.

The strong arms around my waist pulled me away from her and into a hall where no one was.

"Stop," I hit the persons hands and they released me. Aiden.

"Calm down," He said and I calmed a bit but not much.

"I'm sorry," I tried to calm myself more.

"For?" Aiden asked.

"For accusing you for making that rumour when it was all fricken Florence's fault."

"It's okay. Don't worry about it," he said and I walked up to him and threw my arms around his waist and pulled him into a tight hug.
