CHAPTER 15
Desperate Apologies and Meet Cutes
"Umm... hi."
I frowned and closed my locker before turning towards the source of the sound. Cole stood there awkwardly with his hands stuffed in his pocket.
My eyes widened as I took in his swollen lips, puffed up nose and the prominent red bruise to the side of his right eye, "Blake did quite a number on you, didn't he?"
"In my defense, I was drunk and he was sober." He reasoned.
"Fair enough." I shrugged, "Why are you here?"
"I wanted to talk to you." He said.
"Talk to me?" I asked letting out a mocking laugh, "You can barely say a word with that limp mouth of yours."
"I think I can speak very well." He said, ironically mispronouncing half the sentence.
"You can't." I said, "But why did you want to talk to me?"
"Did you hear the rumors?" He asked hesitantly.
Oh yes, there are new rumors going on around school. Apparently, I had been cheating on my "boyfriend", Blake for months with Cole and we were finally caught in the act last night, which lead to the great fight between the two boys.
"Of course." I replied, "And poor, innocent Terra had no part in it all. I'm the cheating whore who came in between you two."
"I'm sorry about that. I didn't know that people would make a big deal out of it." He said, "If it makes you feel any better, I did correct a few people who were talking about it this morning. And I heard that Blake was doing the same too."
"No, Cole. It does not make me feel better." I said, making him sigh.
"I'm sorry again. Not only for the rumors but also for last night's behavior."
"Apology not accepted. You can leave now." I said shooing him with my hands.
"Please, Addy. I said I'm sorry."
"And I don't care."
"Add–"
"Cole" I cut him off, "I have classes to get to. So, if you'll excuse me, I have to leave now." I said and started walking towards my class.
A deep frown formed on my face as he started matching my steps along my side.
"Leave me alone, Cole."
"I will. After you accept my apology." He said.
"If I accept it, will you leave?" I asked to which he nodded.
"Okay, fine. You're forgiven." I said.
He grinned and said "thank you" before walking towards his class. With an eye-roll, I entered the empty class. I sat on my seat at the back of the class before taking out my textbook and going through it.
"Lynne!"
I jumped from my seat as I heard Blake's voice ring right into my left ear.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" I asked as I placed a hand on my heart, trying to calm myself down. "You're not in this class."
"You didn't answer my calls." He said as he took the seat beside me.
His face didn't look as bad as Cole's. All he had was a cut on his lower lip and a dark shade of red right below his cheekbone.
