Ch.7 "Tornados are good"

{Tuesday Morning}

Another long morning to get ready to impress people I don't care about, wonderful.

Today I decided to do beach curls with light make up. Hollister skinny jeans and a flowy tank top with combat boots.

Before I walked downstairs with all my stuff I made sure I grabbed Hayes' sweatshirt to give back to him, even though he told me to keep it, it just didn't feel right. Finally I walked downstairs ready to go, I seen my mother making smoothies

"Oooh! Can I have one?" I asked taking a seat at the bar.

"On the counter"

{School}

I walked in and recieved looks from just about everyone who attended Davidson Day which was quite intimidating might I say. I had 10 minutes to get to my first period which was on the other side of the school.

Aubrey was at her locker too, I shared a smile and opened my locker.

"I don't think I formally introduced myself. I'm Aubrey Collins. And you are?" She asked.

"I know who you are, and I'm Tess" I forced a smile and stuck my stuff in the locker.

I zipped open my backpack and grabbed Hayes' sweatshirt, I planned on giving it to him when I saw him in a few minutes.

"Where did you get that?" Aubrey questioned skeptical and furiated.

"Hayes let me borrow it, it was cold outside when he walked me home" I told reaching for my binder.

"I see. & When did you see him?" She kept asking questions left and right.

"Last night? we hung out at his place?" It came out more of a question than an answer.

"That lying piece of shit" She muttered under her breath.

"What?"

"Nothing. I don't want you seeing or talking to him again. I mean it. Stay away from him" She ordered.

"And if I don't?" I laughed.

"You'll see" She replied walking away deviously.

that went well

I walked into class and saw Hayes talking to his friends in the back.

"Hey, I brought you your jacket" I smiled taking a seat.

"Aw? why? I told you to keep it" He pouted.

"It didn't feel right. We're just friends. Plus Aubrey seemed really pissed that I had it" I explained.

"Wait. How does she know?" He asked scared.

"I had it in my arm and she saw it because she is my locker neighbor. But she also told me to never talk to you again or else" I put finger quotation marks around "or else" for dramatic effect.

"oh no" he mumbled.

"what now?"

"So I lied to her because we were supposed to hangout but I wanted to hangout w you instead so I lied and said I had to go out with my family.." He confessed.

"Well good going!" I teased.

"Is she gonna be mad at you?" I added.

"When isn't she mad at me?" Hayes asked, but he seemed serious.

"Well you're a great friend, I will never be mad at you" I smiled.

"lol dude your so FriendZoned" one of his friends teased.
