Ashley and I slowly headed for my locker after chemistry lesson to dump my books.
"I'm telling you Chloe, you're battling the wrong opponents. They can tear you apart."
"You've told me that only like, I don't know, a million times." She was beginning to tire me out. I needed to leave anyway. "It's been three days they've not done anything, chill."
"They're strategizing Chloe! You have to back out. Go and apologize cry if you have to!"
"No! for the millionth time Ashley freaking Hayes! Now, I need to go." I grabbed my helmet and confirmed my wallet was in my pocket.
"Where do you always go during lunch?"
"It's none of your business." I walked out of the hallways and headed for my bike. As I rushed to my bike, checking the time, I saw that I still had some time. As I neared closer and closer to my bike I couldn't believe what they had done to my baby, her tires were slashed, glue was smeared all over the seat and it was sprayed in pink the word FREAK in bold. What. The. f**k. I was going to kill those fuckers. But now I had more important things to do.
I took out my phone, punched in a number then placed it angrily in my ear.
"Hello, hi, Donald, could you please come pick me up at school?"
"Of course hon, where to?"
"I have to go to Joe's this fuckers-"
"Language!" he reprimanded.
"They," I said in between gritted teeth, "Have messed up with my ba-I mean ride and I need to get to Joe's before my lunch period is over. Please?"
"Give me 5." He said and disconnected. Donald was my driver, thanks to my aunt, but he was more of a father to me. I looked around and noticed the popular crew looking at me with smug looks on their faces. I flashed them the finger, just as Donald drove in. I could just imagine the disapproving look he was giving me through the tinted windows. I quickly went round and got into the passengers seat.
"Step on it, Donald." Are those the 'rude kids'?"
"Yep." I said popping the p. my mood had risen considerably, maybe it was because of the fact Donald was there or the fact that I was going to Joe.
"You want me to take the bike to the mechanics when you're in school?"
"Please," this guy knew me well.
"If Miranda saw you on that death machine she'd die!"
"If she saw me dressed like this she'd have a heart attack." I stated pointedly. We both laughed, as he pulled over at Joe's school.
"Are you eating inside today or are you taking him out?"
I glanced at my watch, and then said, "In, my time is almost up and Mr. Decaprio can get cranky."
"Cranky him and already cranked up you," Donald said as he shook his head, "Not somewhere I'd want to be." I laughed then got out.
"Please wait for me?" I said pulling out my best puppy dog eyes.
"Okay, hurry up."
"I will."
Keith's pov
I scanned the cafeteria looking for Chloe although I knew it was useless, she's never eaten at the cafeteria since she came to this school. I spotted Ashley getting into the cafeteria line to grab her food. I remember, she was one of my favourite girls. Still is, but that was a touchy one...and clingy.
"Yo, bro,I bet ya 100bucks you won't be able to break this girl in the next two weeks," josh said.
"Double it." Jasper said as he stuffed his mouth with meatballs.
"I'd top that but I don't want you to lose too much money, no wait, I changed my mind, triple it, I mean jasper's by the way." Nicole said scooting farther away from me. "And by the way, this," she said gesturing between the two of them, "is getting tiring. When are you getting your girlfriend, I'm tired of dressing up like this I feel like a slut-"
"You know that's what everyone calls you right?" Trent said his mouth filled with food.
"Yes," she sighed exasperated, "It's all because of this bozo who's scared of attachments and is using me as his cover up."
"Have you guys slept together," Trent asked.
"We were more like friends with benefits figured that wouldn't work out so here we are. Down to role playing."
"So all your pda was-i mean- is fake?" Jasper stuttered unbelieveingly.
"Wait... so you guys are telling me that if I crack her by the end of two weeks I'll be," I contemplated for a while then said, "900 bucks richer?"
"Great work Einstein." I thought about it for a while then said,
"Challenge accepted."
Chloe's pov
I rushed into the hallways around 10 minutes late for Spanish. I quickly rushed to my locker grabbed my Spanish book and rushed for my class.
"Lo siento, llego tarde senor." Sorry I'm late
"Acaba de tomar su asiento, Chloe." Just take a seat, Chloe
I silently took my seat and let out a breath I didn't realize I'd been holding.
The lesson continued uneventfully as I doodled random things on my note pad.
The bell rang everyone, including me, rushed out of the room. I had gym next. I had nothing against gym, I was fit and all but I was just lazy to do all those runs or dodge ball or whatever crap he'd planned on.
I lazily headed for my locker to drop my books, and met Ashley halfway.
"So, how was lunch?"
"Great actually. I think I can now start eating at the cafeteria." I absently opened the locker and was instantly greeted by some thick green gooey stinky substance, thank God I had gym next I could just take a shower and stay in my gym clothes. I felt frozen to the roots. This thing was cold, gooey, sticky, smelly and unpleasant. Well played Parker, well played.
"I like your new look." Parker said emerging with his crew.
"It compliments your face ," he added smugly. The whole hallway was filled with laughter which I presumed they couldn't contain any longer.
I took a deep breath in then smiled at him I wiped some of whatever that stuff was off my face and pushed my sticky hair out of my face.
"Truce?" I muttered calmly.
"Nope."
I took a deep breath in then forced tears to my eyes, "Can we please call it a truce?" I said making my voice as small as it could be.
"No."
"Oh, come the f**k on!"
"Knew you were faking it!"
I sighed tired then walked towards the gym showers. Not before I heard one of his friends telling him, "You got yourself steel this round, player!"
