How to kill a Scotsman
Chapter Three
It didn't take long to get to the ice rink, it was just to the right of a massive shopping centre that me and Leah hung about at on weekend's. By this time Leah had taken her arm out of mine and was now holding hands with Jake. I was happy for her when she laced her fingers with Jakes, a new sudden confidence was radiating her. Leah was beautiful and it was a wonder how no boy seemed to go for her. Even if a guy were to ask her out she would flat out say no, she was always so determined to go out with Jake no matter what the cost. We had entered the Arena now, which was packed with people of all ages, the atmosphere buzzed with conversations and laughter and I smiled, tonight was going to memorable.
I looked up at Kevin as he took his hand from mine, my hand suddenly feeling cold without his warmth.
"Why did you..?" I trailed off with a pout. He looked down at me but said nothing as a group of cheerleaders walked up to us, Instantly I had my answer.
"Oh my god Kevin I thought your girlfriend would be a little more" Amiee paused as she looked me up and down, I pursed my lips and curled my hands into fist's.
"What's the word ? Skinny, pretty?" She said and plastered a sweet smile onto her face. I trembled with anger as she looked at me as if I were rubbish, It took me all I had not to punch her there and then. Amiee, Head cheerleader, oh how I despised her with a passion. Lacey, another one of Amiee's clones glanced at Jake and Leah, her gaze landed on their hands and a look of disgust crossed her face
"God Jake, why waste your time on her ? A cute, fit and popular guy like you could do so much better then that!" She sneered at Leah and I flinched, why did they have to ruin this one night for us ? Especially Leah who was finally on a date with the guy she's liked for years. All the other girls erupted into laughter and I advanced on them ready to slap there caked up faces. I could see that Jake was getting pissed off, he was tugging on Leah's hand trying to pull her away. I noticed Kevin hadn't said anything, a wave of hurt washed through me but I pushed it away, I had more urgent things to deal with now. I stared at Amiee my Face inch's from hers I was just about to say something when Leah pulled my back and took my place.
"You know what you little slags ? yeah maybe Jake could do much better then me, but do I care? Let me think" She paused and I smiled, Leah always knew how to stand up for herself. "No! And another thing, you dis my friend just because she hasn't got plastic boobs, fake noses or fat lips, She is far more prettier and well lets just say you might need Botox to hide them ugly faces under all that make up ! So piss of you cows!" She shouted at them, People had begun to crowd around them and I took a step forward, Kevin did the same still silent.
They hissed at Leah as she flashed an innocent smile there way. Amiee took a step forward and raised her hand and smacked Leah around the face, I winced when there flesh made contact, as did Jake. Leah was a tough girl though and she knows when to bring on the tears, she didn't . Instead she gave her a dirty look and stood her ground her gaze never wavering from Amiee's face.
"Come on girls lets go!" Amiee squealed to all her posse.
"Do what you have to do" She told them and sauntered off into the far corners of the arena. All of the girls followed Amiee's example and walked passed Leah, but this time they stamped on her toe. Many of the girls were wearing high heels and I sneered at them when they went past occasionally slapping or punching one of them as they went by. After the girls left Amiee's boyfriend came up to Leah and punched her in the face. I swore at him as her ran off, Jake managed to trip him up in the process, Amiee's boyfriend didn't go to our school, and he's lucky he didn't, because by the look on Jake's face, he had just bought himself a death wish. Leah didn't really seem to care that she got punched in the nose, I could tell all she cared about was how much this night was ruined for us.
Jake carried her to a bench that was close to where we were. Her foot was swollen and her nose was bleeding, I told the boys to go look for help as I sat down next to Leah and took a tissue out of my purse and pressed it to her nose.
"Thanks for sticking up for me Leah, but I could live with what they said to me" I smiled at her, putting her hair behind her ear.
"I was happy to help, I didn't want anything to ruin the night. But I have kinda have ruined it haven't I ?" she laughed humourlessly, she didn't cry at all, and for that I was proud of her. Even when that so of a bitch punched her in the face. Jake came back then and took a seat next to Leah.
"Leah are you okay?" He asked worriedly and took her hand, she nodded and gave him a small smile.
"I swear to god that Bastard's gonna pay Leah" I said Hatred filling my voice, how could they do that to her ? She had never done anything to them.
"Kevin and I went to my house and we told my dad what happened, He said if you want to stay the night your more than welcome. He rang and asked your parents and they said fine but you have to go get your things. Kevin and Rhianna can stay too he said. But Rhianna and Kevin will be in the spare bedroom because my room's not big enough for four people to stay in" Jake said in one breath.
"That would be nice" Leah and I both said at the same time. We smiled at each other as Jake grabbed Leah's hands and pulled her up. We made our way out of the Arena and as soon as we got outside Jake picked Leah up bridal style and carried her back to his house. I opened the door for them and ushered them into his living room. He gently laid Leah on the sofa and shouted for His dad.
His stepsister and her best friend came down and gave one glance at Leah then trotted into the kitchen, They were our age but they were annoying and childish. Clara and Jennifer , they were in the class below us.
His dad came running down from the third floor where his office was, to see her.
"Hi Max" Leah said to Jake's dad smiling. He looked at her incredulous
"How are you smiling you look like a wreck." He said, Leah giggled at that and I shook my head, Max was so over observant and was never afraid to speak his mind. Leah's IPhone started to ring I checked the screen which displayed her mother's picture.
"Hello ?" I said in my posh voice, trying my best to sound like Leah.
"Hello, it's your mum I've got your things, I'm outside Jake's house, do you wanna come out and get them ? I told you to come get them but I thought it was a little mean to make you walk home to walk back again so I bought your things down for you" She said, thinking I was Leah.
I went out about 5 seconds later, her mum gave me all the things she had for Leah and told her goodnight. She left and I went back inside, Leah's nose had stopped bleeding and her foot had bruised and gone purple.
Time passed and a sudden thought struck me, where was Kevin ?
"Jake where's Kevin?" I said voicing my thought's, Jake paused and thought for a second
"He said he was coming back at ten thirty" He said and I sighed, what could he be doing what was so important at this time of night ? Especially after his girlfriends best friend had just been beaten up, I checked the clock, 10 minutes to go.
