She Brought Light || Guy's POV

Chapter 55: "They Are Idiots"

Something doesn't feel right.

Ever since I drove into the school parking lot, I had this terrible feeling and it's annoying me because I know it's a warning, but a warning for what? Whenever I get this feeling, something happens yet I never know what is about to happen until after it happens.

And that annoys the shit out of me!

"I'm sure she's not that bad." River laughs, his arms wrapped around Andrea's waist from behind.

"Ask your girlfriend how she is." Matt scowls, and Andrea lets out a groan as she throws her head back against River's chest and shutting her eyes.

"She makes Serena look like a fucking saint." Andrea deadpans and River pulls a face.

Matt, River, Andrea, Jordan, Alyssa and I are all standing by Veronica's locker, waiting for her. Matt, Veronica and Mason are all still unhappy about having to attend their cousin's wedding. Matt and Veronica have been trying to think of a plan to ditch since we came to learn about it last night.

If I'm being honest, their reactions to the news scares me. I mean, even Ben didn't look like he wanted to go, he even tried talking his wife out of it.

I stand with my shoulder leaning against her locker, my arms crossed over my chest and my one ankle crossed over the other as I keep a look out for my Firefly. My friends stand in front of me, talking about our 'unfortunate plans' in two weeks while this unsettling feeling in my stomach grows more and more.

I'm starting to worry since Veronica still hasn't arrived yet and Matt said she and Cole left the house before he did and the elementary school is only ten minutes away and we've been standing here for the past fifteen minutes. She should have been here by now.

I thought about phoning her to check on her but Veronica hates it when people phone her while she's driving despite her phone being connected to her car radio via Bluetooth, meaning she wouldn't have to hold the phone to her ear to answer the phone.

What happened yesterday in the gym is already the hot topic of the school even though none of these people witnessed the incident. Well no one other than Tessa. I've overheard a few conversations regarding my girlfriend's "psychotic behavior" and how she "scared coach Evans enough to keep her on the team". It's funny how people can come up with these stupid rumors but it's even more funny to see people believing it.

Sure, it angers me that they would speak about my girlfriend the way they do and put her in such a bad light, but it baffles me how people could believe such stupid shit. Are their lives that boring that they'll believe the first lie someone tells them?

I mean people believed I proposed to Serena for fuck's sake! Like who in their right mind would ever put themselves through that kind of torture by proposing to her of all people? Do I look like I'm stupid?

"What's going on?" Matt asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. I look over at him only to find him and the rest of our friends scanning the now empty hallways. My brows scrunched together in confusion as I push myself off the locker.

There is little to no students left in the hallway even though the warning bell hasn't even rung yet. In fact, it wouldn't ring for another 7 minutes. Just as we're about to go look what the hell is going on, Owen comes running down the hallway full speed, his face a mixture of anger and worry.

"Blake," He pants, coming to a stop in front of us and we all straighten up. "You need to come with me! Veronica's in trouble!" He demands before turning around and running back the way he came, this time with us all following him.

A loud cry is heard and we all push faster towards the sound. My heart banging against my chest at her loud painful cry.

We round the corner just in time to see Veronica, who is on the ground on all fours, get slapped across the face by Serena. My anger boils when I notice the huge crowd that stands around but doesn't bother trying to help the girl on the floor.
