Love Complications Book 1

Chapter 36

Piper P.O.V

I stare at the board during English, my elbow on the desk and my chin planted in my hand. I just stared at Mr. Fitz the whole period.

Last night's events were still running through my mind, Zack was sitting beside me but we hadn't talked at all. Not last night. Not this morning. Not even in class. I wasn't even sure if he knew I was mad at him. He was also being weird with me like he was annoyed at me.

As I watched Mr Fitz, I wondered if his life was as complicated as mines. Since he's been back, he's become more attractive. I wonder if he was married? No ring on the finger. Maybe he has a girlfriend? I wonder what she's like. I wonder if she deserves him. If he didn't have a girlfriend I definitely had competition with all these other girls staring at him.

"Piper!!"

I quickly snap out my thoughts and look at Mr. Fitz as he glares at me, I sit up quickly.

"Did you hear what I said?" He asks, looking annoyed.

" Sorry sir, I missed that." I reply, blushing.

I could hear Zack snigger to himself.

"I asked you for a quote from The Great Gatsby? or are you too busy with your thoughts that you can't appreciate my end of class pop quiz anymore?"

"Sorry." I mumble.

"Do you know one or not?" He taps his foot as he looks at me.

I pause.

"Does anybo.." He was about to ask the rest of class if they knew a quote but my brain decided to take control and spit out a quote.

"He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete."

I sit back and look down. What the hell is wrong with me? Why did I just do that? I can feel the classes eyes burning on me including Mr. Fitz but I don't speak.

After a few seconds of awkward silence.

"Eh well done Piper, let's move on then." He replies and I roll my eyes as the bell goes.

Saved by the bell.

I grab my stuff and pack it into my bag and head to my locker.

                      **************

I walk home music blaring in my ears. As I open the front door I see my mother standing there smirking in the hallway.

"You okay mother?" I say as I drop my bag and look over to Zack whose standing there shaking his head, clearly annoyed.

"It's here." She waves two envelopes in our faces.

I try to snatch them but she pulls them away.

"What is she doing?" I look at Zack, forgetting that we were currently annoyed at each other.

"It's the Harvard letters she won't give them to me."

I spin round to my mum.

"Mum hand them over."  I say angrily.

She dances with them around the hall.

"She's been doing that for about thirty minutes."
