Love Can Hurt (ON HOLD)

Chapter Two

Hey ya'll. I'm already starting the second chapter; yay me! XD I'm thinking this is a good story that I've started so tell me what you think :D If I write anything that you may think is offending you, then I trully don't mean it to. When I write, it just flows and I write what pops into my head. So again, I apologise in advance :)

I glared at the boy who had situated himself between two blonde-headed bimbos - at least that's what they were to me. Rude and mean, to me.

"I don't know," was all I could say. And all I could think. I really didn't know what happened. First I'm looking at Mr Keys because of my tiny crush on him and then I was looking at an unknown - and hot - guy. Is this the part of my life when my hormones go over board and are wanting to drive me crazy? I thought with a sigh.

Georgia gave me a look that obviously said 'no, but I'll let you off this time until lunch'. I nodded my understanding and she beamed. "So?! Why were you talking to him? Do you even know who he is?" Hunter questioned, his blue eyes narrowing at the back of the guy's head. It's funny to say that all my three friends are popular as Hell, and they hang out with me - The School's nerdy bookworm who'd rather read than go out on Late Night and have a shopping spree with Saline and Georgia.

"I don't know, Hunter! I just bumped into him, case damn closed!" I hissed, immediately feeling sorry once his face fell. I sighed, "Look, I'm sorry. My mind is just all jumbled and I can't think straight." Especially with that dude in my head.

I tried smiling at him, but it probably came out as a grimace because he's very protective of me - as a brother and I love him. I never snap at him, ever. His blue eyes were sad, and he didn't have his usual big grin on his face when Georgia, Saline or me is around him. I hugged him tightly and he tensed, definitely not expecting that, I guess. He finally hugged me back and felt a light pressure on my forehead.

"You know, I'll always forgive you," he smiled, pulling me back from him and his warmth. Seriously, he's soo warm! All the time, through all the seasons. It's weird, but I love it.

"Thank you. And why are you always so warm? I've always thought of asking you, but never got the chance because it wasn't the right time, or I... I was just too shy," I blushed as I realised I had just said all of that really quick. So very shy, Rose.

Just when he was going to answer, Mr Keys spoke up. His voice boomed in the classroom. I shuddered at how commanding and kind his voice was. It was a mixture and very good too. "Class, I forgot to tell you at the start of this period... But today is your last day of making the Medieval Castles, so be quick and agile with this. I'm marking your great talents of painting, creativity, teamship and how good your castle looks. So hurry," Mr Keys announced and everyone - well, mostly everyone - shouted out a "WHAT?!" but my group kept quiet because we had finished. "You may come back at lunch to finish it, which is next. But you all have fifteen minutes left of this period to finish," Mr Keys said, looking back at his white Apple laptop. And that also got a big, huge "WHAT?!" again. I laughed quietly and Georgia did too, Hunter just looked smug with his arms folded.

And because I'm generous... Rose, Georgia and Hunter, you may leave early in five minutes for a ten minute early mark to lunch... I waited for those words, but they never came. Damn me and my weird imagination.

"Hey, Rose! Could you help me with the paint?" Dana Love's perky and obviously fake happy voice said in my ear. I looked over to her group. Michelle Bridges and Jess Crow were there with none fake smiles. They were nice when Dana wasn't around around. Michelle and Jess are Dana's little minions who do her every whim. Sometimes I feel sorry for them because Dana forces them to do things. "Please?" she pouted. I nearly scoffed, that's how stupid she seemed.

I didn't want to be humiliated by her so I wandered over, casting Georgia a look saying to be calm. Georgia absolutely loathes Dana; she thinks she's putred and doesn't deserve to be on Earth. Anyway, I wander over to her group and see they have an okay castle. It's black and has shiny blue material as water under it. There are patches of green modelling as grass and hills on a big piece of white cardboard. "It looks done, Dana," I said. Why did she want me over here when her castle is done?

"I know. But you're not," she snickered. And before I knew it, I had black paint in my already black hair. The paint ran through my hair and onto my shirt. "If you tell anyone I did this, there'll be more where that came from," Dana narrowed her eyes at me and then pranced off as if nothing happened. God dammit! Why can't I be left alone?! I sighed and gave Jess and Michelle weak smiles and walked away back to my friends who would comfort me and call her a bitch. Which she is.

I slumped down in my chair, black paint splatted on Georgia's school jacket and I mumbled a sorry to her. "It's okay, why do you have black paint in your - OH MY GOD, if this was Dana's doing I will smash my fist down her throat all the way down!" Georgia's calm and reserved mood soon turned into a mad and crazy girl. Great, nice one, Dana. Now you're going to be bashed and I'm going to cop worse from you... I thought to myself.

"No, Georgia, it's okay," I pulled her back down. "Calm down; we only have five minutes left and she told me if I told anyone she'd do more, please don't," I pleaded. I seriously didn't want to be more humiliated anymore... It sucks. Sure, I have great friends and family and they protect me. But Dana Love just ruins all hope of my life being happy.

Georgia finally calms down and sighs into her seat. "Fine, but if she crosses the line again, I won't hesitate and you can't stop me either," She growled the last sentence. That was definitely clear she wanted to get Dana what she deserved.

"Mhmm, and I'll let you," I laughed as Georgia clapped her hands, child-like. I searched for Hunter because usually he'd be saying "bitch, bitch, bitch..." over and over because he hates her almost as much as Georgia. When I found him, he was talking to Jess with a big grin on his face, wider than I've ever seen. He must like her, I nudged Georgia and nodded towards Hunt.

"Okay, okay. We'll get them together soon but first we need that paint out of your hair, it's already drying and we have to get you to detention quick sticks," Georgia used her motherly tone with me and sent me a happy smile. Obviously grateful, her brother had found someone. Maybe.

Then just as we got up to grab our bags under our desks, the bell rang loud and clear. And we were outta there! I didn't want paint in my hair so we ran to the girls' bathroom and Georgia immediately shoved my head under a tap. She turned it on and washed my hair quick and rough. I'd wince or call out because she'd yank at my hair. "Holy Jesus, Georgia! Calm down, it's not that much of a big deal," I winced again as she tugged on my hair purposely.

"Do you want another detention with Mrs Creed?" She hissed, continuing on washing my hair. Okay, fine! I had to give it to her. We had been in here for five minutes and most of the paint was down the drain. The only bad thing was my hair was drenched and I had to walk around with dripping wet hair to detention! "No..." I mumbled.

"There... Now go," Georgia smiled and ruffled my jet black hair. I nodded, smiling at her and walked away. Checking my phone for the time, I nearly screamed. We didn't waste ten minutes of cleaning my hair! It was twenty minutes! I pushed my feet forward and got into a sprint towards the Maths classes.

I was seriously nervous when I lightly tapped on Mrs Creed's door and heard her shouting. Was it towards me? Then it stopped and the door flew open. Mrs Creed was angry. Her shoulders were constantly moving up and down and her eyes had a fire dancing in them. I've only ever seen her like this once - not twice - and it's not good. She shouts at you if you even speak or get out of your chair. "Get in," she snapped and I immediately walked in, my eyes instantly connecting with the famililar evergreen eyes.

Why do I keep seeing him everywhere I go?!
