The Bad Boy And The English Redhead

Chapter Nineteen: Why Am I Stuck With You For This Project?

TBBATER- Chapter Nineteen- Why Am I Stuck With You For This Project?

"I heard she was attacked by Tyler Cole and had to go to hospital." One hushed whisper says as I walk by.

"I heard that she was dumped by Tyler, so she tried to kill herself with a drug overdose and-" The other says, but I interrupt.

"-And nothing. This isn't your damn business, so shut up and stay out of it." I snap, and turn around back to the direction I am meant to be going.

"Whoa, jeez! Calm down!" One of the people say, taking the p*ss out of me, and I glare at them, pulling back my fist whilst they laugh. I am in an incredibly bad mood, and it happens to all girls out there.

"You better shut up before I punch you so you're face is black and blue for a week." I growl, and they stop.

I storm away and head to the lunch room, my hair bouncing against my shoulders. My lunch is in my bag, so I pull it out as I plomp down beside Ari and Keeley. The crew are here, and today, the Bad Boys aren't here.

"Luce, you alright?" Ari asks, and I nod. Keeley raises an eyebrow worriedly, but then goes back to the conversation when I shake my head.

I'm not able to face him after our kiss, I'm not able to look at his handsome face, into his beautiful, captivating blue eyes, at his rosy coloured plump lips which many girls, not just myself, have missed before. That kiss, made my heart explode and I know what he's doing to me. The kisses I have had with Tyler never felt like that.

And I know what is wrong.

I really, really do know what is wrong with me. And it's not good. Not at all.

Every minute I think of that boy, my heart melts, and I want to be near him. Even though my brain doesn't want that. They say to follow your heart, but I know that if I do, I will be sitting on the basement sofa, clutching a tub of Ben And Jerry's, and watching The Notebook again and again until I fall asleep.

As much as I love that film, I don't particularly want to end up watching it with me crying over a broken heart.

And just as I think about the boy himself, he appears at the table with my brother, Parker, a blonde girl, a brunette and a bot with long black hair, reminding me of Joe's long emo styled hair.

"Hey, English Redhead! Meet Natalia, Julia and my cousin, Jimmy." Matt says, and I smile up at the girls. Jimmy takes my hand and leaves a kiss on it. Honestly, I am creeped out. I can see Matt glaring at him for some strange reason.

Natalia is the blonde and Julia is the brunette. I can tell they are best friends, practically sisters, by the way they're acting around eachother.

"Lucy Edwards, I've heard so much about you." Jimmy says.

"I would say the same for you, but then I'd be lying." I reply, and stuff my kissed hand in my pockets, before turning to my brother.

"Accroding to mum you're going to Matt's today." I say.

"Yeah, but no one's home this evening. Mum and Dad on business work, and Laya is taking Bethy, Har, and Meli out to the zoo, so you have to come with me." Lukas tells me, and I sigh in annoyance.

I'm trying to avoid a boy because he has kissed me and now I have to spend the evening at his house! I have been doomed from the beginning...
