Roses and Flame

The Truth... - Chapter 35

- Monday Morning - 

I woke up and got ready, so did Sarah. I changed my band aid that was on my arm.  Then, we went down stairs and ate pancakes, and bacon. We thanked my mum and then walked to the bus stop. 

Several minutes later, we arrived at Oakwood High school. Ashton, and Jake were waiting for us, so the four of us could walk in together. We're a big group of friends. 

"Hey guys!" Jake said. Jake and I are now really good friends. We decided that being friends was better than being nothing. I'm glad he's my friend, he's a great friend. "Hey!" I said. "What happened to your arm?" Ashton asked. I might as well explain it to them because they're my friends. But I don't think I should tell anyone else. "About that, I need to tell you guys something..." I began to say but was distracted by Blake walking past us and narrowing his eyes at me. He passed us but I could tell he was staring at me, it felt like he was shooting daggers into the back of my head. 

"Follow me," I said to them as I led them to the back of the school. I told them everything that happened. They couldn't believe it. "Wow," Jake said. "I can't believe that jerk!" Ashton said. And I couldn't agree with him more. Blake is definitely one of the worst people I know. Well, him and Josh. I mean, Josh is the one who cut me anyways! 

We kept talking about how we will try our best to stick together so nothing else bad happens. Then, we walked to the back doors of the school, but right as I was about to open the door, Blake ran to the doors and locked them from the inside of the school. He gave us an evil grin and waved and then walked away. Ugh, could he get any more annoying?! I don't think that's even possible. 

We had to walk all the way back to the front of the school. We were going to be late for class. I can't get anymore detention, or my mum would get angry. 

We started running. We finally got back to the front of the school. We walked to our lockers and grabbed our textbooks. 

"Sarah and I got to get to class, but we'll see you guys at lunch!" I said. "Okay, see you later, bye guys!" Jake said. "Bye!" Sarah and I said. Ashton and Sarah kissed and then Jake and Ashton went left down the hall and Sarah and I went right. We finally got to Mrs. Harrison's room. 

Luckily, the tardy bell had just rung so weren't in trouble. So, I can get that thought out of my head. 

Precalculus finally ended, and now I have to go to gym class. Nothing too interesting. I went to the girls locker room to change. When I finished, I went into the gym. "Alright, so today we're going to be playing dodgeball!" Coach Abigail said. Oh no! I hate dodgeball. 

"The teams will be, Harper, Jenna, Ashton, Blake, Max,  Amy, and Josh. Versus Sophie, Jake, Olivia, Sarah, Daniel, Zach, and Grace." No! No! No! Josh and Blake being on the same team during dodgeball can't be a good thing! I don't like this at all! Maybe I could just fake being sick, or fake an injury so I could sit out—

Then the whistle blows. 

Crap! What am I going to do?! 

I picked up a ball and threw it at Josh hoping I would get him out, but nope. It just made him mad. He picked up a ball and chucked it in my direction. But right before it hit me, Jake caught it in his hand. That was a close call. "Thanks, Jake!" I said looking into his gray eyes. "No problem," he said while smiling at me. I smiled back. His smile is so cute—No, Grace. Bad, Grace! Don't fall for him again! Your the one who picked Blake, so don't fall for the other guy! Nope, you can't do it! 

But I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts when a ball got throw at Jake. Josh chuckled. Then I looked around and noticed that only two people were left on the other team, can you guess who they were? They were the most annoying, and Idiotic boys I know,  Blake and Josh.
