My face pales as I reread the note. I had quickly come to my locker so I could get my script when this fell out.
You slut, twerking in front of random strangers. You're mine! ONLY MINE! If you even dare look at another guy, there will be serious consequences. Yours and only, C
Was he at the party? Or had he seen the video on Instagram? So many people had recorded it that wherever you looked on Instagram you would see me. I was taking this lightly, hoping it was someone playing a prank but from this note, it looks a little more serious.
On autopilot, my body makes its way to drama. I open the door to the stage room and take a deep breathe before I enter. I need to find out who C is before he does something wrong. I see Lucy and she waves at me to come over. As I am about to go across the room, someone pulls me back into their chest and on instinct, I jab my elbow into their side.
"Ow!" Vincent yells and he let's go of me.
I turn around quickly, "I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention!"
He straightens himself and pulls me close again. This time I don't jab him. "It's okay. But that was one hell of a jab."
"I took self-defence classes two years ago," I shrug. Before I could say something else he crashes his lips on mine. I don't know what happens but I melt into the kiss and all my worries disappear.
"Good morning- Woah!" I hear Mr Turner and I quickly push Vincent away. "I'm going to pretend I didn't see that." My face starts going red from the embarrassment and I see that the whole room had gone silent, watching Vincent and me.
Vincent's arm doesn't leave my waist and I give him a glare. He leans into my hear and whispers, "Now everyone knows your mine."
In any other situation, this possessiveness would turn me on but the words from the note run in my head instead and my face falls.
"Hey, you okay?" He asks when he notices my reaction. I nod and take the note out to show him I got another one. He takes the note into his hand to read it and I can feel him getting angry. "What the actual fuck? I swear if I lay my hands on him, I will kill him!" I could tell he wasn't joking.
"Guys, please some respect." Mr Turner calls out and I mutter an apology and pay attention for the rest of the time he talks.

For the rest of the lesson, we were allowed to practice our scenes which I was glad because we hadn't practised a lot.
"Amara, we need to talk about 'C'." Is the first thing Vincent says when we go off into a corner.
"I know and I want to, but can we practice for now and I promise we can talk about this over lunch." He nods and we get into the scene.
(Phoenix walks into the room and sees Louie kissing a random girl)
P: (shouting) What the hell is going on here!?
L: (pulls apart) Phoenix! It's not what it looks like!
P: I have eyes you twat.
L: (to the random girl) Amanda, leave.
(She gets up and leaves)
P: I can't believe you! I went against my BROTHER to date you and this is what you do?
L: I'm sorry baby, please let me explain.
P: (shouting) EXPLAIN WHAT? THAT YOU WERE KISSING A GIRL BY ACCIDENT?
L: Okay fine! I was only dating you because you were off-limits.
