“Nothing going on huh?” she questioned with her hands on her hips and a deepened frown that I was picturing sticking there permanently; I just rolled my eyes at her ”Don’t! I know something’s gone on! Why else would you ditch me! SPILL!"
“Claire… Your paranoid, really nothings gone on, believe me I would have said but at lunch I was getting frustrated with the huge ass line that was formed and stormed out of the canteen and accidently slammed the door in his face, making him fall on the floor and almost use every curse word known to man” she didn’t budge so I just sighed and continued “I apologised to him of course, he said it was no sweat and I also mentioned that the canteen was totally full and so we decided to go to the chippy and have a chat,that’s all!” she loosened up and took a deep breath before sighing and letting it out.
“So why the hell did he just lie for you back there?” she questioned raising a brow
“Oh I don’t know… maybe it has something to do with you going total psycho on me!” and with that we both burst out laughing at how silly we were both being, of course she was worried we’ve known each other since we were kids and were practically attached at the hip until a few months back.
“Well… after you ran off with my money, I had nothing to go buy food with… so I was lucky when Matt came over and started talking to me… I explained you ditched me for some reason along with my money” she raised a brow “and he offered to buy me food along with a decent conversation” she was practically cheeping at that point, it was wonderful to see her this happy “ I even got his phone number!” at that I automatically reached over and hugged her.
“Well, well, well… isn’t this just cosy” I didn’t even need to see the face to know it was Jessica “You two lovebirds kiss and make up” Claire’s eyes were glaring and furious, I put on a plastic smile and spun around
“oh hey Jessica! How are you,so nice to see you” I peered behind her “ And Isabella, Gretchen have you two decided to get your plastic faces permanently attached to her ass yet?” I blinked a few times to add the whole ‘innocent dumb blonde factor’ to the insult, but as usual it backfired
“Look here” she stepped towards me “Why don’t you go crying to your mother, oh wait you can’t can you? She’s all dead and mashed up,bet you enjoyed watching her get crushed to pieces and I bet you enjoyed her kissing that truck, bet you wanted her to die too so why don’t you do us all a favour and go jump in the same grave as her!” I swallowed hard, Jessica has never been this horrible before… never been this heartless.
“Back off Bitch!” Claire jumped in “I don’t get what kind of sick kick you get out of acting like this… but there was no need for that! Quit being so heartless!” Ignoring Claire, she looked directly at me.
“You have most of the school fooled, that your this innocent victim and hell you may have the geek patrol chasing your ass, but Leo is mine!” she snarled and almost spat the last part
“Since when do you claim anyone” I whimpered.
“Since he’s way outta your league! Now go back to playing dungeons and dragons freak!” and with that I spun around and walked to class, her words revolving around in my head… Maybe Leo was out of my league? maybe he did judge me earlier? As I approached Maths I noticed Leo was leaning against the door on his side smiling as he saw me get closer, but once he saw the tears falling from my eyes his expression was quick to change.
“ What’s up?” he asked but I just shook my head “Tell me” he pleaded.
“I had a run in with the Queen-B and her gang of bimbos”
“Queen- B?”
“Jessica Ellington and her bimbos Gretchen and Isabella. Well she made some pretty awful comments about me and my mother”
“What? What gives her the right to talk like that” he spat through his teeth
“I don’t know,she hates me” I looked down but he was quick to lift my chin up again
“Why?” his eyes searching me for the answer
“I don’t know” As I turned my head I saw Mr Howell fast approaching the door “Howell’s coming” I whispered to him and he stood back out of the way of the door as it was opened, leaving me to dart for my seat at the back. I yanked my books and pen out of my bag, and slouched on the desk praying Leo would at least leave me alone this lesson; instead he sat directly in front of me, but what a surprise that the bitch would sit right next to him! I just hope he didn’t fall into the web of lies that she spun and fooled everyone so easily with.
“Hey Leo!” She screeched
“Hi” he grunted back
“Sooo...how are you finding Blackpool?” she leaned in closer to him, but he remained unresponsive to her movements
“its ok I guess” he shrugged
“Awww, sweet”she bit her lip seductively and twirled her blonde her flirtatiously.
“Look, I’d appreciate it if you just let me do my work” ‘YES!’ I silently cheered
“Don’t be a spoilt sport, live a little” she giggle for a bit then then placed a hand on his shoulder which he quickly removed
“ In case you didn’t get it. I’m busy”
“No one turns me down honey” she glared
“Looks like I just did” at that point she leaned in and whispered in his ear, they both giggled before Howell turned to give one of his famous ‘Don’t you dare’ looks, they stopped but as soon as he turned around they giggled again, my heart dropped and I felt sick, she was right Leo wouldn’t see anything in me… the sooner these last two lessons ended the better, I was not going to hang out with him later, I was not going to socialise with him and I was damn well sure I wasn’t going to dream about him!
