Side note- Anything written like this, is me, the author. It's me like commenting on the situation or something. Anywayyyy enjoy!
Jonah looked at the guy standing in front of him. He could have been 12 or he could have been 20, he couldn't tell. Poor Zach.
J: She just left...who's askin'?
Z: Oh...I'm an old friend of Alannah's...We have a lot of history. I'd like to see her. Would you happen to know where she is?
J: I don't know. *Jonah grimaced as he said that as he wished he did know* She probably went home or something.
Z: Thanks dude!
Jonah watched the boy walk away and sighed, hoping he wouldn't take Alannah from him. Zach walked away thinking the exact same thing.
Sarah sat looking out the window thinking about what had happened. Emma was driving furiously, upset for her friend. Tatum silently sobbed in the backseat wiping her tears with a tissue. Sarah sighed and looked at Emma, she mouthed, "what do we do now?" and Emma shrugged. Sarah could tell the night was ruined and Emma was going to be angry for a whileeeee. Sarah sat up in her seat and said, "I'm actually really tired Emma. Do you think you could drop me home?" Sarah didn't want to face the music until another day. Everything was very complicated and her brain was fried. Emma pulled in at Sarah's house and Sarah got out. No one said anything for a while. Before shutting the door Sarah said, "Love you guys. I'll text you tomorrow." Sarah slowly walked up the drive, her phone vibrating in her pocket. She decided to ignore it, even if it was Daniel. She didn't want to talk.
Alannah drove through the roads for hours on end. She had to come up with a plan to win back the trust of her best friends. Especially Tatum. This was their last year in school and they all had different plans for college. Sarah was going to study in America to become a high school teacher but also to be closer to Daniel.;) Emma was going to study medicine in Galway and Tatum was going to get her modelling career up and running in London. Alannah had no idea what she wanted to do. All she knew was that she needed her friends. She couldn't function without their support. Alannah finally decided to head home and go to bed. It was for the best. When Alannah got home there was a car outside her house that she didn't recognise. Suddenly, a dark figure emerged from the shadows.
Unknown: Hey Alannah.
A: Who is that?!
Unknown: It's me...Jonah.
A: Jonah you shouldn't be here! Go home...or back to the party...just please leave. If someone sees you here-
J: It's okay...no ones here. *As Jonah said this he leaned in towards Alannah for another kiss but she avoided him. lol.
A: Jonah! What are you doing?!
J: Picking up where we left off...
A: It was a one-time thing. It was also a mistake.
J: It didn't seem like a mistake to me.
A: My friend Tatum really likes you...I shouldn't have kissed you.
J: I don't know a Tatum...Only an amazing girl standing in front of me that deserves to be kissed. * He leaned in again but was dismissed once again by Alannah. Hehe.
Aingeal: Alannah is that you? What's going on out there?
Alannah: I'll be right in mum! Jonah you have to leave. NOW!
J: Okay, okay I'll leave but this isn't the last you'll see of me my dear. *Jonah leaned in and gently kissed Alannah on the neck.
Shivers were sent down Alannah's spine but she knew this was wrong. She didn't say anything to Jonah while walking into her house. She sighed as she closed the door behind her and bent down to pet her dog Polo. Her mum began to quiz her on the party and why she wasn't staying in Emma's but all Alannah did was mumble a goodnight and trotted up the stairs with Polo at her feet. As Alannah threw herself on the bed and stared at the ceiling she really wondered whether or not she could fix this. Just then, her phone beeped. It was a message from Emma and when she saw, Alannah's eyes lit up.
Emma: Seeing as you're a b*itch and kissed Jonah, Tatum and I dropped off your bag with your charger, money and clothes in it to Dylan's house. The party is still on. Good luck getting your stuff back.
Alannah: Please Emma! Tell Tatum how sorry I am and I am already trying my best to make things up to her I promise!
When Emma read the message and didn't reply, Alannah switched off her phone, rolled over and shut her eyes, forcing herself to sleep.
MONDAY MORNING-SCHOOL
Monday morning had come and was dreaded by a lot of people. Alannah had already tried to pull a sickie but Aingeal could always tell when Alannah was telling the truth. We stan. Alannah reluctantly got up and put her uniform on. As she was leaving the house to catch the bus, she switched on her phone for the first time since Friday night.
0 messages from Sarah.
0 messages from Emma.
0 messages from Tatum.
34 messages from Jonah.
5 messages from Jace.
1 message from Dylan.
1 message from Unknown.
First Alannah read Dylan's text.
Dylan: I have your bag. I probs won't give it back.
Alannah rolled her eyes thinking about replying but decided against it before she hit send. Instead, Alannah opened the message from the unknown texter.
Unknown: Hey babe. Long time no see. I miss your smile.
Alannah didn't know who it was or cared really at this moment in time so she opened the message, left it and put her phone in her bag.
Alannah caught the 44 bus every morning. The good thing was Tatum and Sarah got the bus too. The bad thing was that that the chances of them speaking to her were slim to none. She got on the bus, swiped her leap card and found a seat at the back of the bus. She put in her earphones and started listening to WAKE UP by Travis Scott. When the bus driver pulled in to Sarah and Tatum's stop, Alannah looked out the window. Instead of seeing Sarah and Tatum getting on the bus, she saw them getting into Sarah's car and driving to school. "Sarah never drove to school," Alannah thought. "Damn they really must hate me..."
When Alannah arrived at school, she walked in with her head down until she reached her locker. There, she hoped to catch Tatum and apologise as Tatum had the locker below Alannah. When Alannah reached her locker, someone was rummaging through the locker below hers but it wasn't Tatum. She tapped a girl named Julie on the shoulder and said, " Hey! That's Tatum's locker. What are you doing?" "Tatum swapped with me and told me you're a b*tch so I don't really want to talk to you," Julie replied leaving Alannah in shock. Alannah held back her tears and walked, alone, to class.
As Alannah sat in her seat waiting for her friends to join her in English she prayed they would give her a small chance to redeem herself but as the three of them walked in and sat in different seats, Alannah began to lose hope. As Ms MacNathuna walked in and began to drone on about Gnomeo and Juliett( why? I personally don't know)someone ran into the class room late. Everyone looked toward the boy except Alannah who stared at her watch wondering how much longer she had to sit through this class. The boy said to the class, "Hey teacher, sorry I'm late!" "Zachary Dean Herron, not a great start for your first day at this school!" replied Ms MacNathuna trying to sound like she cared. As Alannah heard the name, she couldn't believe her ears! She turned around and there, standing there, in Alannah's class, was Zach. She turned away and her eyes met with Dylan's. She shamefully looked down at her book and sunk into her seat.
"Why did he have to come TODAY!!!" thought Alannnah."This couldn't get any worse."
Oh Alannah, it sure can...
