Chapter 16

•Talk That Talk•

Winter

Walking from my German class to my PE one, I was alone.

The hallway was almost empty with just a few students lingering here and there. My mind wandered back to the day where the end of our all friendship was initiated. The friendship of our own group with the rest of the girls including Irelynn.

Flashback

At Irelynn's house

"Come on guys, it's beautiful outside let's go out!" Bethany suggested. We all instantly agreed and put on our shoes.
The father of Irelynn came and told us to not stay out too late. Her father was very strict, one time he found out that she had a boyfriend and he flipped. He came to our school, threatened the boy and took away her phone. She was thirteen..

When we were all finished, we went out. Just walking around the streets when Irelynn started squealing, showing Tiffany, Leonora, Aaliyah and Bethany something on her phone. They started screeching with her except Aaliyah she just frowned deep.

As the girls kept freaking out, Liyah made her way to me, Rena and Lee.

"What was that about?" Rena asked slightly tilting her head while looking at the girls walking a few feet in front of us.

"Uhh she-he-I Irelynn got a message fr-from-" She looked guiltily at Lee as she stammered out the words. Oh no.

Lee furrowed her eyebrows in question, she looked at Winter for a second and Winter guessed that Lee got what thought had crossed her mind. Making her face emotionless she asked,
"From who Aaliyah?"

"I'm so sorry Lee she-I-" Aaliyah saw the emotion on Lee's face disappear in a blink and was not able to answer her question. Lee got her assumption confirmed when the petite Italian girl apologized with a look of sorrow displayed on her face.

Winter's best friend sighed and gave Aaliyah a hug. "It's not your fault, don't be sorry. It was her, she knows I still like Alexander even if we broke up a few days ago,"

The other girls who were standing farther away in the front told them to hurry up. When they came to a halt, Lee gave Irelynn a dirty look but averted her gaze after.

"Come on, he's waiting!" Tiffany gushed trying to hide a smirk, that was obviously directed at Lee. Winter glared at the girl harshly.

"Do I look good?" Irelynn asked while arrogantly flipping her hair behind her before she laughed. "Of course I do!"

She was a tactless person. A spoiled little brat, that day Winter and Lee went with them to see if they did meet up with Alexander. To no surprise they did. Lee and her best friend instantaneous went back to Irelynn's, got their stuff and went to Lee's house.

End

When I heard about it I was through with her, hasn't she ever heard of the girl code? Never flirt or come together with the ex of a friend, especially not a close friend when it's not approved! It's just a basic rule and every girl knows that. But even after that she hasn't learned her lesson.

Sometimes I would like to tell her father how she really behaves when she isn't home. But I still have more than enough honor to not snitch.

I was in front of the girls locker room when I stopped thinking about the past events.

Pushing the door open I was hit with a wave of perfume and deodorant, damn way too much of it.The girls send dirty glares my way nothing I wasn't used to, ignoring them I made my way to my gym locker only to be shoulder bumped by every girl passing me.

However every contact got a more harsh response of my shoulder. Who the eff do they think they are?

I was annoyed already I didn't need them to make it worse because then there is no stopping me. Quickly changing into my gym clothes, I glanced at the now empty room. Knowing I'll be even more late if I don't hurry I jogged towards the door which lead into the gym while tying my hair into a ponytail.

I slammed the door half open, to see everyone staring at me. What? I opened the door completely and suddenly I was covered in some goo.

Screaming of shock everybody began to laugh, but when I saw Irelynn smirking with a malicious glint in it, I knew it was her. Even the teacher had to laugh, fucking A. The moment I turned to walk back into the locker room the door to the boys changing room opened as I slipped and fell to the floor with a thud.

A growl made the laughing crowd quite down and as I tried to get up, I only slipped again. When all of a sudden two hands steadied my waist and set me straight on the floor on my two feet, I couldn't help but yelp out of surprise.

After I could stand without falling again, I wanted to see who saved me but kinda already knew who it was.
And guess what! I was right.

I glanced at Irelynn and Lindsay to find them already glaring to me. That caused me to wonder why as I did not do anything but I came to the conclusion that it's because Hayes prevented me from slipping again and is still holding onto my waist.

Wait!

Quickly I looked down to see his hands still resting there. Sucking in a breath I gazed up at him. He was looking at me again before lightly pushing me towards the locker room. As we took another step Mr.Buckler decided to finally say something, just not the right thing.

"Hayes! You aren't allowed in the girls locker room!"

Hayes tensed as his grip on my waist became stronger, I looked back to see Hayes sending the teacher an ice cold stare with a raised brow daring him to command another thing. Mr.Buckler visibly shuddered and shrunk back into a corner.

"Come on"his rich deep voice came from behind me as I let him lead me into the changing room. I panicked a little as I didn't know what was going to happen. What am I thinking of course nothing will happen! Not that I want it to!

We were now standing in the middle of the room with Hayes eyeing me
"Go take a shower." Wow okay.

"I can't I-I don't have new undergarments here and I'm not going to wear the same because that is just disgusting" I scrunched up my nose in disgust, wearing the same again underwear without washing it? Ew.

"Get in your normal clothes, I'm going to drive you home."

That brought a weird feeling to my belly.
"No, it's alright I'll drive by myself thank you but you have to get to class."

"No, change, I'll wait for you outside."
"Hay-" I tried to protest.
"No discussion I'm going to drive you home, the end."

I sighed and watched his back as he walked out. Shaking my head I changed and tried to clean up a little with a towel at a fast pace not wanting to make him mad or annoyed with or at me.

We were in the quiet hallway on our way to the parking lot as out of nowhere somebody screamed. In a matter of seconds Hayes had his hand on my waist, pressing me tightly into his side, tensing he turned.

"Babe where are you going with that mutt?!" Irelynn

I sighed, the calm before the storm.
"Who you calling a mutt!"

The bitch raised her ugly eyebrow and smirked while Hayes just tightened his grip on my waist. Irelynn seemed to notice as her eyes wandered down to his hand and her face formed a scowl.

"You boyfriend stealing bitch! Hayes come here baby!"

Hayes's face was like stone, no emotions nothing he just cocked a brow. He seemed to do that very often.

"WINTER LET HIM GO!" she screeched.

She definitely is dumb, first off I am not holding onto Hayes so that I could let him go and secondly he isn't her boyfriend like what the frick is you talking about girl.

The bad boy tugged on my waist as we started our way to the car again completely ignoring Irelynn's whining.
