"You keep robbing my heart like a bank and I only got myself to blame."

Friday

I tapped my pencil repeatedly against my math book as I tried to drown out the sound of some kid arguing with the teacher about how we don't even need to know half the things we learn.

My eyes slowly shut as I began to drown out the loud racket around me; instead letting my mind drift off to a happier place.

Ethan.

Since I snuck out to see him Monday night, the two of us had seen each other almost every day.

Since he was still suspended for another week, i offered to come round for a few hours after school each day so that he didn't fall behind.

Spending time with Ethan had honestly become the highlight of my day, and I found myself craving to see the beautiful smile on his face when I wasn't with him.

It felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders, just knowing that he was finally beginning to open up to me.

As for the kiss; there hasn't been any since that special night. Not yet anyway.

My thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of my phone vibrating against the wood of my desk; earning me a few stares from kids around me.

"Fuck off." I mumbled to the ignorant classmates, who now wanted to pretend like they actually cared about the lesson, as my hand reached for my phone swiftly.

I'm sorry for not being a good friend at the party the other day Ambee. Would coffee and cake after school make up for it?

Tension between Anna and i had been fairly high these past couple of days, and the two of us had barely spoke since the fight.

From: Me:
All forgiven:) but I can't today, tutoring Ethan again.

Jesus Christ Amber this is the 4th day in a row you're ditching me for him.
I'm starting to think I'm second place now😅

From: Me
Don't be stupid.
I'm helping him stay up to date with school work.
Besides, I kind of owe him after the fight.

From: Best bitch💗
Still.
Feels like he's first priority.

I rolled my eyes, switching my phone back off as I attempted to listen to whatever the teacher had to say for the last five minutes of class.

After school

A light smile formed onto my lips as my eyes locked with Ethan, who was waiting for me by his motorcycle.

I sent him a quick wave before making my way down the school stairs, and towards the parking lot.

"So now he's picking you up from school?" My head quickly turned to where the voice was coming from, to see Anna walking swiftly behind me.

My pace slowed ever so slightly, giving her a chance to catch up. "Is that a problem?" My eyebrow raised expectantly at her.

Anna's lips formed into an almost sarcastic looking smile as she shook her head. "Nah, I think it's cute. Getting your suspended boyfriend to come pick you up from school. Romantic."

"He's not my boyfriend." I scoffed whilst crossing my arms over my chest. The sarcasm that laced her voice was starting to piss me off.

I could see Ethan watching us closely from the corner of my eye, and he looked kind of pissed.

"Good because that kids' bad news." She stated simply as her eyes drifted over to Ethan, who just glared at her in return.

Her focus lingered on him for a while, most likely staring at his bruised up face.

"Oh my god, you sound like my fucking mom." I chuckled at how delusional my best friend was being. "You didn't think he was bad news when you were calling him hot the other week."

"That was before he completely beat the shit out of Caleb." Anna tried to defend her case, as she raised her arms up.

"He beat the shit out of him cause Caleb was talking smack." I defended Ethan, who I knew could hear our conversation now due to our voices raising.

Anna's tongue pressed against the inside of her cheek as she took a deep breath in through her nose.

"Ethan almost killed him, Amber."

My mouth opened to reply, but Ethan's voice was quick to interrupt.

"Come on Amber, it's too cold to be standing around." Both mine and Anna's eyes drifted towards Ethan, who looked bored and pissed off.

"Coming." I nodded as I headed towards Ethan, not even bothering to give Anna a second glance.

Ethan's lips curved up into a smirk, causing his cheeks to dip into small dimples.

"Who got her panties in a twist today, holy fuck." He shook his head as i sighed deeply.

I took a deep breath in through my mouth, shrugging. "Beats me." I spoke simply as I found myself already over the conversation.

"Forget about her." He said simply as he passed me a helmet to put on. "She's just jealous you get to ride this sick ass motorcycle."

My eyes gazed up at Ethan, who was already staring at me with a smile, instantly calming the anger that was boiling up inside me from the things Anna had said.

If she wanted to be all butthurt now that Ethan was finally letting me in, let her.

I was still going to be there for him no matter what. She didn't even realise half the shit that he was going through, and she probably never would.

She didn't see him breakdown the other night; she only saw the Ethan that he wanted her to see.

No part of me cared what anyone thought about what I was doing. I am determined to be there for him, and that's all that truly matters right now.

This is just a short little chapter but I still tried to include some drama for you lol.

Do you think Amber is starting to replace Anna with Ethan, or do you think she's just being dramatic?
