The Outside Doesn't Count (Ongoing)

Chapter 16

Picture of Avrora Florestine played by Danielle Campbell---

Monday morning...school... Yay. I barely managed to get out if bed before falling right back down into it. I was so exhausted and I didn't even do anything yesterday!

Sunday went by pretty good, well, except for my annoying neighbor. He was blasting his speakers in his room distracting me from reading and finishing my home work. If I didn't know better I would've just went over there and strangled him, but that only happens in my sweet, sweet dreams. I went to the park to do my home work instead.

I did my usual routine in the morning and rode my skateboard to school. I arrived at the front of school and started to walk in. I don't know if I'm wrong, but I feel as if people are staring at me. I usually walk with my head down (which my brother says is dangerous,but I'm still living so..)so I wouldn't notice if someone was watching me,but I do have killer instinct. I decided to look up for a quick second and I was right. People were looking at me.

I put my hood on and started to speed walk to class. What did I do now? I walked into class and removed my hood. Everyone was having a conversation with each other until I walked in and everyone started to look at me. I walked to my seat and then it seemed like everyone was whispering now and looking at me. Seriously....what did I do?

I sat down and took out the breakfasts burrito me and my brother made this morning and started to eat. Then all of a sudden, Adeline came in front of me. I stopped and looked at her. She was avoiding eye contact with me and was fiddling with her fingers.

"Umm...Avrora?", said a shy voice.

" Yes?",I said waiting for her to answer me. She did not answer me, but she took out her phone and showed me a picture on Instagram. A picture of me and Chess at the park. A picture of me on the slide in my running clothes checking him out and him shirtless.

I stood up and said(more of a yell), "Where the hell did you get this!?" She flinched at my sudden remark. I saw that she was scared and calmed down a little.

"Where did you get this?", I asked in a more calm tone.

"Someone posted this and people at school started to share it among themselves, soon the whole school got it..e-even me."

I then felt bad for screaming at her. She was just trying to tell me what was going on. I then gave her back her phone before I crushed it in my hand while clenching my fist.

"So are you guys dating?", I heard a high pitch,annoying voice ask that I hope I would never hear again...Veronica. She clearly looked annoyed, which made me happy. I still don't like her for what she did to my hoodie.

" Yes, you got a problem?",I said bitterly. I knew that would get under her skin because she clearly liked him. I could tell she was unhappy(You know that happy feeling when your enemy is pissed because of you, yeah that's how I feel) I smirked at her expression, "Now, don't frown too much, you don't want wrinkles now do you?", I said sarcastically.

She looked like she was about to say something but then stopped. She looked like she was staring at something behind me, or someone. I turned around to see Chess (I guess it was something)

He had an evil looking grin on his face. Oh shit!, did he hear what I just said? As I inwardly face palmed myself and closed my eyes I felt strong arms wrapped around me.

"I didn't know you were ready to tell people babe?",he said in a soft tone but loud enough for the class to go quiet and stare at us. Babe!?!! Who does he think he is talking to? I started to struggle to get out of his strong hold and tell him off when he whispered something in my ears.

"This us your fault, just play along. I don't want attention because they found out that you lied about this." I then realized what had happened. I told everyone we were dating and if I deny right now it would bring more unwanted attention to me..and Chess.

I sighed and played along."Well, I didn't have a choice darling because a picture of us got out."I said with clenched teeth as I showed him the picture.

He took my phone from my hand and looked at it. "So you were checking me out?", he said in a low voice that only I could hear. Why do these things always happen to me? He handed back my phone and just sat down after like nothing happened. Then Veronica stormed off, well not without flipping her hair and mumbling profanities.

I just rolled my eyes and sat down. People were staring but I didn't care. The whole day went by like this. Whenever I walk somewhere people start whispering, heck, even the teachers. Word spreads fast. Do people not have nothing better to do than gossip, I mean hello, books?

At the end of the day right before the last class ended Chess mouthed the words we need to talk . I sighed and excepted my fate, I am going to die. Oh well, at least I got Veronica pissed.

I love getting under my enemy's skin. I felt evil writing this chapter (what am I saying, I am evil) I don't know but I think Danielle is really pretty so I just imagine her as Avrora. Ilysm😇
