Turning pages ~ Charlie Jones (stereo kicks)

Chapter 3

"Charlie Jones and Annabelle Smith."

Cole's head span around to face his best-friend. Not only was she not working with him, but she was working with the most popular student in the entire school; Charlie Jones. Annabelle's face had the same expression as Cole's, shocked. A chorus of whispers ran through the class. Of course, a few girls sent glares in Annabelle's direction but she didn't notice. She was just sat there motionless in her chair.

Charlie however was intrigued by the quiet girl in front of him, but he did receive a cold glare off the blonde boy next to her. He furrowed his eyebrows together at this boy's reaction but chose to ignore it. He caught a snip-it of Casey's whisper and sent a scowl in his direction. It was something about Annabelle being good in bed. "Casey, have you seen how innocent she is?" Reece reasoned. Casey looked up and over to Annabelle's seat.

"That's what makes her look so good." Casey muttered. Reece just rolled his eyes and slumped back in his seat. Now, the three of them were waiting for the bell to ring. Charlie was floating off into space, not paying attention to anything his friends were saying. His gaze kept falling on the shy girl he was now working with for a project. He hoped she would talk to him, not just for the project, but he wanted to get to know her. Something about her pulled him in.

Suddenly the bell rang for end of class. All students stood up, the sound of chairs scraping against the floor filled the classroom. Charlie pushed those thoughts out of his mind and sauntered out of the room, Casey and Reece along side him. Charlie caught site of Annabelle with Cole as they came out of the classroom, they seemed in deep conversation. His gaze traveled to Cole's twin, who was chasing the pair down the hall.

Charlie watched as the pair stopped in front of Anna's locker, both of them with a bored expression on their faces. "Oi, Jones!" Casey exclaimed, punching his shoulder. Charlie broke away from the trance and shot a glare to Casey; Who just ignored it. "What d'you have next?" Casey asked.

"History," Charlie stated bluntly. Reece looked up.

"I have Science," Reece added. Casey rolled his eyes before they trailed over to a girl walking past. He shot her a wink and made a 'Call-me' motion with his hands. That sent the girl, and the people she was with, into a giggle frenzy. Casey smirked.

"Dude, that's just wrong. She's a Junior!" Reece exclaimed, giving Casey a dig in the shoulder. Casey groaned and rubbed his shoulder.

"I didn't know, she was pretty hot though." Casey defended.

"She's two years younger than you, man, that's not right." Charlie said, backing Reece up. Reece nodded.

"You pedophile." Reece said. Charlie laughed and Casey just stood there sulking.

"Looks like Charlie's slut is causing a bit of trouble with Miss Innocent and her boyfriend." Casey said, his gaze rolling to behind Charlie. Charlie span around to see Kerene Roberts blocking the pair's path.

"This can't be good." He stated. Reece and Casey nodded in agreement.

Annabelle's P.O.V

"Cole! Anna! Wait!" Dylan shouted from behind us. Cole and I shot each other a look and stopped just short of my locker. We both turned around to see Dylan stood in front of us. "Is our Maths homework due in today?" Dylan asked the two of us. I rolled my eyes and moved forwards a bit to my locker. My hand rested on the lock.

"Dylan, the maths homework was due in yesterday. We don't even have maths today." I told him, opening up my locker and taking my history book out. I heard Dylan let out a frustrated sigh and I looked at Cole, who was watching his twin travel down the corridor, catching up to his friends.
