Just as I entered the canteen, I felt someone as they elbowed me in the back. I groaned as I peered around to find Darcy. I smiled at her, but she grimaced at me. Startled, I took a step back, as I watched her face grow angrier by the second, her eyes harboured fury, that is terrifyed me.
"What the fuck did you do to Charlie yesterday? He's in tears in the toilet because of you." I gulped, hoping she wouldn't sense my fear that was simmering inside of me. I shook my head repetitively. I had done nothing wrong, I left, that was all. "I thought you said you were in love with Charlie? Don't lie to me Autumn." She spat, through gritted teeth.
"I wasn't lying." I swallowed. I was petrifyed now, scared of the damage which I had supposedly made. Darcy had never shouted at me like this before, so whatever was happening, must be pretty damn serious.
"Well you obviously are. If you loved someone, you wouldn't make them cry, would you? You're pathetic Autumn." She snarled as she exited the canteen.
I felt everyone's eyes glaring at me, full of hatred and anger. I let go of my wooden tray, as it battered against the floor, making me jump. I looked down at the floor, and around the canteen. My vision had gone blurry, I couldn't focus on anything, all I could see was the mustard coloured tables and the lights shining down. Loud sounds entered my ears, chuckling from younger students, screaming and whistling, it was all too much. My legs had instantly turned to spaghetti, I could feel myself falling. I closed my eyes, ready for the impact that never came.
I had fallen into a pair of arms. I gradually opened my eyes to be introduced with Reece. I struggled, but I managed to pull myself up.
Reece gripped tightly on to my shoulders, staring right at me. I avoided his eye contact, I felt embarrassed about my random happening, I didn't want to talk about it, I didn't want to talk to him. I had caused damage, and I was curious how. I don't remember saying anything rude? Maybe that Rosie was obnoxious, but that was just the truth, and everyone knew it.
"W-what's happening?" I asked Reece, my whole body trembling.
Reece clasped my hand inside his, and he walked me out of the canteen. I lingered behind, but he still managed to pull me along. We walked through the long, school corridor, gaining wolf-whistles from a group of guys in the same year as us. Reece rolled his eyes and groaned, walking straight past them. Everyone knew about Reece and I, receiving the wrong information.
I still felt sorry for Reece, including him in this, he had to put up with this too.
"I'm sorry about that." I began.
"Autumn, don't be silly. It's fine." He insisted, pausing outside his locker. He leaned up against it, and so did I. He placed his hands in his pockets and looked directly at me. His mouth opened, as if he was about to say something, but stopped, closing it again.
"What's wrong with Charlie?" I asked. I knew that's what he was going to mention, so I saved him the effort. I was worried now. I didn't want to loose the boys as friends, all because something I supposedly said or did towards him.
"Oh. Apparently yesterday when you ran off, you said something to him about how rude Rosie was to you. Well he confronted Rosie. You can only guess what happened next." Reece spoke, raising his eyebrows at the end. "Thank you for splitting them up Autumn." Reece smiled.
"Was that sarcastic?" I asked, not fully understanding his tone.
"No not at all. She's a bitch, and I'm so thankful that Charlie has thrown her away. I don't know how you did it!" Reece smiled. "But then there's Charlie, he's in tears because of it."
