The New Girl (an O2L fanfiction)

Chapter 6

I walk back into the lunchroom. JC looks worried. I try to stay calm and approach him.

"Hey, are you sure you're ok?" JC has this panic look in his eye.

"Yeah, I'm just a little homesick." I lie. I don't want to risk JC knowing.

"Oh that's good. Well me and the guys were gonna go to the beach tonight. Connor and Kian are bringing Emily and Daphne so we all could hang out. Would you wanna come?"

"Um yeah! That actually sounds pretty fun. I have to ask my mom though. Wait, I don't have a ride. Maybe some other time."

"I can pick you up! It won't be a bother." He smirks.

"Ok.. What time?" My moms never gonna let me go.

"Well we wanted to get there before sunset, so how about 6?"

"Okay, I'll try to convince my mom." We both smile at Eachother.

After school, I go to my room and try to find something to wear over my bathing suit. I find my Nirvana muscle tank and my dark jean shorts. I texted my mom and she said it was fine, that's suprising.

I don't put any makeup on incase we go into the water. I put my side bangs into a braid and then put my hair into a messy bun. My bathing suit is a strapless white top with strings hanging off the front. The bottoms are floral print.

I put everything on and almost head out the door. Before I realize JC's picking me up. I kinda made up the excuse of not having a ride cause I was scared.

About 10 minutes later someone knocks on my door. I expect it's JC and open it. No. It's Ian.

"Miss me?" He says with a sly smirk on his face.

"What are you doing here. Leave right now before I call the cops." I reach for my phone but he grabs my bag.

"GIVE ME MY BAG RIGHT NOW!" I reach for it put he pushes me back.

I hear someone pull up in the driveway. I really hope it's JC.

"Where do you think you're going? Didn't you know I was coming to visit? How rude of you."

"Ian get away from me!" Tears start to trickle down my face.

"MCKENZIE!" JC screams.

He punches Ian in the face. He drops my purse, gets in his car and leaves.

"Mckenzie w-who was that? Did he hurt you? Are you okay?" JC looks like he's about to explode.

I run to JC and start crying on his shoulder.

"No I'm not alright. He followed me here. He won't leave me alone. He got my new num-" I start hysterically crying.

JC hugs me so tight I feel so safe in his arms.

"It's ok Mckenzie he won't hurt you as long as you're with me. Are you still up to going to the party? We don't have to."

"Yeah I'll be fine, let's go." I wipe my eyes and walk out of the house. I realize I'm holding JC's hand tight. I'm too scared to let go.

We get to the beach and it's actually pretty quiet, peaceful.

I spot Emily and Daphne. I go over and set my chair up. JC go says hi to his friends.

"Hey Mckenzie! What's up?" Emily says.

"Nothing much. I like your bathing suit."

"Thank you!! I just got it last week."

It was a black triangle top with ruffles and black bottoms.

Daphne went to play vollyball with Kian.

"Hey Mckenzie do you wanna go for a walk with me down the beach?" JC asks.

"Yeah sure." I told Emily id be back and she gave me a wink. What if JC does like me like that?

"So are you sure you're ok? Ugh I'm sorry I should of brought it up. Forget it."

"JC it's fine. And yes I'm ok, just a little startled."

"I bet, that dude looked like trouble."

"Can we talk about something else." I said trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, um.. What's you're favorite color?" He rubbed the back of his neck and laughed a little.

"Green." I chuckled.

"Really? Green? Why not red? Red is like so much better." We both laughed.

"Nah green's way better." He stopped walking and just smiled at me.

"Why'd you stop?"

"You're beautiful Mckenzie, you know that right?" He said quietly

"Beautiful? No I'm not. You're just saying that." I started to blush.

"No I'm not. You're so different, you don't cake your face with make up and throw yourself at all the guys. I like it. Mckenzie I like you. I really do." He kinda looked away and blushed.

"Y-you do? Guys never thought of me like that." My heart is beating fast. What do I say next? This has never happened to me before.

"Hey JC!!" This Brunette shouted over to him.

"Ugh hold on Mckenzie." He said annoyed.

"Who is that?" I questioned.

"My ex Nicole." He said as he walked over to her.

My heart sunk.
