I "Don't" Need You

PLAY SONG NOW—

YASMINES P.O.V—

I felt a shadow over me and I heard someone breathing over my shoulder. I slowly turned around and got startled by Ethan staring at me dead in the eyes. His jaw was clenched and he made a tight fist.

"What?" I gave him a creeped out look and Ethan rolled his eyes and reached into his pocket for something.

"This What you were looking for?" He held up my locket that I lost. My eyes widened as I watched him hold it up.

"How did you get that?-"
"Don't fucking act dumb with my Yasmine! I know your little secret!" Hearing Ethan yell at me like that, I slightly flinched and my back fell against the locker.

"Ethan you don't understand-"
"What don't I fucking understand?! That you secretly go behind bushes and get High?" He chuckled but I could tell he was still angry.

Without saying anything I shut my locker and snatched the locket out of his hand. I started walking to class and I felt a grip on my wrist, pulling me back.
I was face to face with Ethan and I felt his hot breath on my face.

"Whose that on the necklace?"
"I don't need to explain myself to you!" I snapped at him. He didn't flinch at all and it was as if he had no fear whatsoever.

"I'm pretty sure you do if you don't want me to tell the school that you have a drunk abusive father." When I heard him say that I got scared because Ethan seemed like the type of person to do something like that.
"It's a picture of my mom, It was her locket and I put the picture in there after she died."

"How did she die?" When Ethan heard the way he said that, he felt guilty and put his head down.
I didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that." He apologised and I nodded.
"She committed suicide." I pursed my lips.

"Yasmine why were smoking late at night?"
"I could ask you the same thing." I said bluntly and Ethans eyes widened.

"I don't know what you're-"
"Yeah you do. I saw you early in the morning behind the same exact bushes where you found me, you were wearing a black hoodie. Remember now?" I folded my arms and when I said that Ethan seemed afraid. Almost as if he was hiding more than anyone else knew.

"Exactly so I don't have to explain myself to you or anyone else!"
I started walking to class again and Ethan stood in my way.

"Don't you dare tell anyone Yas-"
"Tell What Ethan?! What are you hiding?"

He let go of me and stood out of my way.
"Nothing just forget about it." He walked off and left me standing in the hallways alone.

Ethan and I ended up showing to class late and the lesson was already half over.
When we went into the class room all eyes were on us and I heard whispering.

Ethan went straight to his desk without saying anything and I followed him to my desk as well.
If he's not going to say anything to the teacher than neither am I.

"Do you two want to explain why you're 30 minutes late?!" Miss Hosey yelled at us and neither of us said anything.
"Miss I don't think they can discuss rated R things in front of the class." Nick laughed and so did everyone else. My face went red from embarrassment and I sunk into my chair.

"Shut up Nick!" Ethan spat at him.
"Woah chill Eth I'm only messing around."

"Well fucking stop!"

"BOYS! Don't you dare use bad language in this class! If you want to argue, take it to the principals office!" Miss Hosey stooped them.

"Well tell him stop being a little bitch-"
"I'll show you a little fucking bitch!" Ethan stood up from his chair, making it fall backwards.

"Ethan stop!" Grayson grabbed his arm.

My eyes widened and I didn't know what to do. Ethan noticed that I was scared and he sat back down at his seat, putting his head in his hands.

I turned around and Allison gave me a worried look. She was staring at me as if she'd just seen a ghost.
I'd never seen this side of him before, not even in the 4th grade when some kid pushed Ethan into the schools water fountain.

ETHANS P.O.V—

When I saw the look on her face, she looked at me the way I looked at Andrew whenever he went crazy on Gray and I. I was always the one who was scared, not the other way round.

Why the fuck was I getting angry at Yasmine for secretly smoking and drinking even though I do it myself?

"Okay your projects are supposed to be 4 pages so I expect them to be finished in the next 2 weeks." Miss Hosey wrote on the white board when the project was due in.
Oh shit I forgot about the project! Maybe Yasmine will forget about our argument?

"On page 42-"
"Miss Hosey I'd like to change my project partner please." Yasmine put her hand up and took a glance over to me.
Maybe she won't forget about the argument....

"I'm sorry Yasmine but if you want to change your partner then that would mean everyone else will want to as well and it's just not fair-"

"Yeah Yasmine this isn't divorce that you can just sign a paper and get out of his life forever, there's no escaping that freak." Nick interrupted and laughed at Ethan.

Ethan turned to him and his nostrils flared.
Ima fucking kill this Dick!

"Nick this is the last time you're interrupting my class! You can explain to your mother why you're late after school in detention!"
"But-"
"TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE!" Miss Hosey pointed to the door and everyone stayed silent. I'd never seen Miss Hosey this mad that her freckles almost fell off.

Nick got up from his desk and started walking to the principals office.
As he walked past me I extended my left leg, making him trip and fall face flat on the floor.

He couldn't really say anything because Nick was already in enough trouble as it was. When he walked out of the class a smirk appeared on my face and I looked over to Yasmine and a small smile formed on hers.
That's the smile that's been missing all along.

"Like I said, nobody can switch partners even if they're dying, I still won't listen." Miss Hosey folded her arms and everyone else groaned.
"That can be arranged." I heard Yasmine mumble under her breath.
Yeah no it won't.

Everyone else were discussing their projects again and Yasmine just sat there in complete silence, fiddling with her fingers.

"So for the project-"
"I don't want to do it anymore, I'd rather get an F." She interrupted me.

"What you mean Yasmine Cortez, the girl who always gets High grades wants to get an F?" I said sarcastically in a shocked way.
She didn't respond and I took a deep breath.

"Well my parents are out of town and we can't do the project at mine-"
"No you're lying again, if they're out of town then why did you tell Grayson the other day that someone came back home and started arguing with you again?"
Got me there.

I didn't know what else to say and I finally gave in.
"Fine you wanna know why I don't want to take you to my house, I'll tell you....."
