My tik toker (Jordan Powell)

Chapter 2

TW: Violence and mentions of rape!
--------------------------------------

I shake my head at Isabella as she giggles uncontrollably into her phone.  Probably vinnie. Mrs. Jones glares at her in silent warning to shut up. Of course isa just flips her off.

"Class please pay attention. Ms. Isabella if you will please hang up so I can get on with my lesson." I raise an eyebrow at her.

"Fuck off I'm almost done." She snaps. I cough down a laugh and the teacher rolls her eyes.

"As I was saying... Today we have a new but not so new student. I want you to give a very warm welcome to Jordan Powell!"

Suddenly everybody in the room is whispering and snickering when a beautiful boy walks in. Not just any beautiful boy- oh no. The beautiful boy from earlier.

I sigh in annoyance before putting my headphones in my ear. Isabella glances at me with an accusing look and I notice she's no longer on the phone. Fuck she knows. I know she knows.

"If that's all please sit by Nevaeh in the back." I cross my arms and bring my hand to my mouth, biting my nails as an instinct. "Nevaeh please raise your hand."

I stare at her with a blank face and she frowns. I'm not raising my hand. I swear I see Jordan slightly smirk.

"Miss Hacker raise your hand please." Nothing. Nada. Nobody moves a muscle. "Jordan please join Nevaeh in the back with headphones in her ears."

He nods before making his way over to me. For fucks sake. I don't bother looking at him when I take my feet off his desk, dropping them beside me.

"Hey. I'm Jordan." He whispers as he sits down. I ignore him while focusing on the board. Maybe if I don't move he'll think I'm dead and go away.

I was wrong.

He reaches up and takes a headphone out my ear, making my head snap towards him. "I'm Jordan."

"I don't care." His lips curl upwards and I refrain from rolling my eyes. "Can I get my headphone back?"

"What're you listening to?" He asks in a quiet voice. My jaw slightly clenches before I pull out my phone. I unclock it and show him the screen. He chuckles when he realizes that I was indeed never listening to anything because my headphones aren't plugged in. "So you were just ignoring me? And the teacher?"

"Hm. He's smart." I mumble. "Can you please give me my headphone back?"

"Right sorry." I take my property out of his hand with a sharp glare. "Down girl."

"Yeah whatever."

I feel someone's stare on the side of my head and instantly try to find the source. My eyes land on the boy I wish would fall of the face of the earth. Fucking Matthew.

"Hey there stranger." He whispers. Upon hearing his voice, my eyes soften unintentionally.

"Hi." I whisper back against my better judgement. He smiles at me with those pearly white teeth and it makes me miss him even more.

"I miss you baby." My words get caught in the back of my throat when he uses that nickname. Baby. I like it when he calls me baby. "Why aren't you coming back home?"

"I-"

"Hey!" Our heads turn towards Isabella who has a small frown on her face. "Matthew we talked about this. Leave her the fuck alone or we'll all sit down and talk. And I mean all."

By all she's talking about Vinnie. When Matthew cheated on me, vin found him and beat his face to the pavement. In his words, "He'd do it again bop bop."
