Walking through the gates of hell or as most people know it, school “Sup Zoë” David called
“Hey what up?” I called back
“Nothing but what’s this I hear about you buying a dress.....?”
“Huh, what are you on about?”
“Don’t play. Dumb” he said
“I don’t need to play it”
“Fair point” He grinned
“What happened to you being all quiet and nice David? But in answer to your question, yes I did buy one, just please don’t tell anyone”
“I was never nice and I have you as my master, sensei” he joked and did a bow and I bowed back, earning us some looks but damn I hate when he’s right “What do I get out of not telling anyone?”
“Come on David, please” I pleaded, he just smiled enjoying pulling the strings.
“Why did you get it?”
“I uh... I don’t know. I was thinking of... ah.... pulling a prank at the dance?” I hope he didn’t pick up that I was questioning what I had just said.
“Riiiight”
“Come on. Be nice” all David did was smile, evilly.
“The guys so have to hear about this” He said running off, I’m so screwed. I chased off after him getting shoved into the lockers. I walked over to the guys, seeing David sand the others smiling my way.
“So where’s Carmen?” I asked Xavier trying to avoid the hot topic of the day; me and that bloody dress.
“Sick” He replied “So what’s this bout a dress you brought?” They all began laughing
“Shut up, firstly I’m going to kill Josh for telling you guys and secondly what’s it to you?” I say as I lean back against the dull green lockers.
“Nothing” Elliott said “But it’s that you never buy things like that”
“I’m a girl I’m aloud to buy a dress and don’t you dare tell anyone or I will chop your balls off, got it?”
“Yeah, yeah whatever you couldn’t chop them off if you tried. You know we love ya; anyway you’d look fuckable in a dress” Elliott said giving me a noggie and we all began laughing once pout of the noggie hold I shot back “Yeah that only cause you guys don’t have any balls to chop off. I did not need to hear that thanks” I smirked, causing the group to laugh. My laughter soon faded as that’s when I saw the dude from the skate park walking down the hall. He saw me and walked up to me and smiled.
“Hey its Zoë isn’t it? You’re pretty good at skating, for a girl that is. I guess we’ll be seeing each other a lot now babe” he said winking, then walked off.
“Who’s the hot skater” asked David
“You know me, I’m Zoë” I joked
“Ha-ha I meant the hot dude not chick” he winked.
“I dunno never asked his name and he so isn’t hot” Looking over my shoulder to see skater dude and Ryan talking and then he laughed staring in my direction. Fuck I have to see Ryan after lunch, just my luck. I got snapped out of my thought when Xavier began talking “Looks like Zoë has a crush” he teased then he saw who skater dude was with,
“Fuck up”
He pushed me a bit to make me move along to head outside, to go to our normal spot where we hang when we want to chill and get away from the daily school gossip and all that kind of shit. We sat mucking about whist we waited for the bell to ring; when it did we slowly parted taking our sweet time getting to class.

The bell went for the 4th time that day, telling everyone to head off to their next class, mine being history where I’m stuck with none other than Ryan “Hey Zoë don’t look to excited about seeing me” he laughed smiling as I sat down next him, god I hate him “The only time you’ll see me excited about seeing you will be when I see you dead” I smiled back
“Oh feisty just the way I like ‘em” Ryan said moving so he was close enough for me to be able to smell his cologne.
“Ugh, fuck off” after I had said that Mr. Pitt walked in squinting at some pieces of paper.
“Everyone sit down and keep quiet” he yelled. Sitting next to me, Ryan began poking my side. I snapped my head around to face him, glaring.
“What do you want?”
“So I hear you bet Blake” he whispered
“What, Who?” I asked but before he replied I suddenly clicked and knew who he was on about “Oh skater dude, yeah whys I such a big deal?” I asked
“Cause of what I’ve heard he never loses”
“I guess there’s a first time for everything then aye?” What is it with him he’s acting weird he’s not much of a dick today “So want to come over after school to work on the project?” he asked
“Do I have a choice?”
“Nope. Be out the front after school” he said as I was rolled my eyes. Just then the bell went for lunch and as soon as I packed up I ran out, not wanting to spend any longer in the class as I had too. Great why did I agree to go to this? I took my phone out of my pocket to tell Josh so he wouldn’t pick me up.

Zoë - going to ryans for history project please tell mum and dad thanks J
Josh - will do please don’t kill him need him to take my place as captain when I leave
Z- you take the fun out of everything, but I guess I can try not to
J- cheers

Shoving the pone back in my pocket I walked down the busy, grey hall to meet up with the guys. “Hey guys what’s up?” I called
“You wanting to come over and play Xbox after school?” Elliott asked
“Can’t have the fucking history project” I grumbled.
“Oh yeah aren’t you stuck with Ryan?” he grinned
“Don’t remind me”
“Ha-ha guts for you” Elliot poked his tongue out and I went chasing after him; trying to catch up but sadly for me he is a fast runner.
