Love Is Deadly

Chapter Two

"Where's Sam"? I ask Cassidy as we both walk through the halls going to lunch. She shrugs her shoulders as I continue to look for my other best friend. Sam and I have been best friends since elementary school. I met him when we were in 3rd grade and we've been best friends ever since. He's the goofball of the group and can always make us laugh. On the other hand Cassidy is the party girl of our group. She always wants to party and doesn't study that much.

"I heard there's a new kid that just came in from London and apparently he's super hot". Cassidy says, raising her eyebrows.

"Eh he's whatever. I have him in my English class and he's made my life a living hell since he walked through the door". I groan, taking a seat and she laughs.

"He can't be that bad. You just have high standards".

"I don't have high standards, he's just not my type". I shrug and she shakes her head.

As Cassidy and I start eating our lunch Sam approaches us taking a seat next to Cassidy and I.

"What is up ladies". Sam says hugging both Cass and I.

"Hey Sam". I say and smile.

"What are you guys up to?''

"Talking about the insanely hot kid that just came here today from London". Cassidy giggles like a little kid who had just done something and gotten away with it.

"Yeah, I heard some girls talking about him today. What do you think about him Ava? Have you seen him"? Sam asks and I roll my eyes.

"yes, and I've met him and I've learned that he is an asshole just like every other boy here".

"Woah, who's got you so mad"? Sam laughs lightly and I glare at him causing him to stop.

" In my first period he told the teacher I was using my phone and so she took it and now I have detention". I mumble taking a bite of my French fry.

"I bet he didn't mean to, besides who do you have for that class anyway"? Sam asks.

"Mrs. Boughen".

"Ew she's a b***h". Sam says and Cassidy and I nod our heads in agreement.

"Anyways what happened after that? Did he apologize"? Sam asks and I shake my head.

"No that was it after that. After that he stopped talking to me until the teacher handed our papers for the project we're doing and he happens to be my partner".

"Stop complaining Ava. He's probably not that bad". After Sam says that I stay quiet the rest of the lunch period.

The bell rings about 20 minutes later and it's now time for my 6th and I have two classes left then I have detention and after that I can go home.

As I walk into my 6th period I notice a certain brown haired figure sitting in my seat.

"Uh Excuse me I believe you're in my seat". I say lightly and he looks up from his phone, making direct eye contact with me and then back down at his phone as if he didn't hear me.

"Um I don't know if you're being rude or your wee little British brain didn't hear me, but I said you're sitting in my seat". I say louder and he chuckles lightly.

"I heard you love, I'm not going to move though. The teacher told me I could sit wherever I wanted". He shrugs.

"Stop calling me love". I mumble taking a seat behind him.

The teacher then walks in and starts to talk.

"Alright Class today we're going to be learning about the industrial revolution".

The teacher then continues to ramble on and my mind wanders off into space and it soon lands on Noah. I notice that besides his somewhat long hair beanie isn't the only detailed thing about him that I noticed.

His eye color was green mixed with blue so it looked like a nice sea green color, he has dimples and to be honest he looks good with them. His Jawline is sharp, so sharp that if you were to run your finger along it, it would give you a paper cut. His overall appearance wasn't so bad but he was rude and too cocky for my liking. I'm into the nice boys. The ones who take you on dates and the ones you can tell them anything and they wouldn't judge. Noah seems like the complete opposite.

Out of nowhere a deep British voice interrupts my thoughts.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer". He jokes, a small smirk appearing on his face.

I swear if he smirks one more time I will punch him in his mouth.

"I doubt that you will love. My mouth is too pretty to be punched". He cockily replies, winking at me.

Time goes by and the bell finally rings and I'm one period away from my horrible day ending, besides detention.

On my way out the door I feel a tap on the shoulder and I turn around already knowing who it could be.

"What"! I snap and Noah's eyes widen.

"Why so harsh love. I'm just trying to make conversation.

"Sorry, but I'm trying to go to class". I push past him and walk quickly through the halls, only to be caught up by him moments later.

"I'm just trying to make friends".

"You already lost that privilege when you were being an asshole this morning". I say standing outside my last period which was dance.

"C'mon I didn't mean to get you in trouble". Noah shrugs. His face, not looking as if he was really sorry.

"Why don't you go to your class. You're going to be late".

"I'm already in my class". He smiles.

"Ah you must be Noah right"? My teacher says approaching Noah and shaking his hand.

The teacher then unlocks the door and we all walk in the wrestling room and set down our bags and take a seat. Luckily Cassidy is in this class so I can have at least a little peace in here now that Noah is in it.

"You should let him come sit with us. He seems lonely". Cassidy points towards Noah and I ignore her continuing to scroll through my socials.

"He has a phone. He's not completely lonely". I mutter and Cassidy sighs.

"Hey Noah! Come sit with us"! She shouts across the room and I put my head in the palms of my hands and shake my head.

He smiles and walks over to us taking a seat in between Cassidy and I. I ignore him while Cassidy decides to start a conversation with him.

"So, where are you from"? Cassidy asks and he doesn't seem to hear her because he was listening to music the whole time.

"What was that love"?

"See he's sweet". Cassidy whispers across from me and I ignore it.

"I'm from England. Doncaster to be exact". He smiles and Cassidy smiles wide, blushing.

They continue to talk while the teacher takes roll and soon we stand up to start a new dance routine.

"Ava, he's so sweet. He's a momma's boy. It's adorable". She giggles.

"Cassidy. You have a boyfriend first of all so stop flirting with him, and second of all I don't care if he's a momma's boy. I still don't like him". I huff angrily and she throws her hands up in defense.

Once we learn the routine we have 10 minutes of class and I take the time out to read over the assignment from this morning a little more.

The bell rings and I grab my stuff heading over to Mrs. Boughen's class for detention. On my way I feel his presence again and I mentally groan as he looks at me smiling.

"Must you be everywhere I go"? I asked clearly annoyed of him already.

'I don't love. Maybe". He shrugs.

"Well if you excuse me, I have to go to detention thanks to you". I mumble and he follows me in the classroom.

"I know. I'm joining you". He sits down next to me.

"Don't you have anything better to do"?

"Yes I do but unfortunately I got in trouble in my second period and now I'm stuck in detention with a stuck up prune". He refers to Mrs. Boughen.

"Oh". is all I say and he continues talking.

"Luckily, I'm also stuck in detention with a super cute girl who's also annoying". He smirks and I roll my eyes.

"If you were trying to be cute you failed at the part where you called me annoying". I say and he chuckles.

"It's your lucky day guys. My son just threw up in his class and I have to go pick him up so Detention is canceled and here is your phone Ava. Now next time please don't have it out". Mrs. Boughen says in a serious angry like tone and hands my phone to me, then walks out.

"Well, there goes that". Noah says and I nod grabbing my stuff.

"I'll see you around"? Noah asks and I shrug.

"Maybe". I say before walking out the classroom, proceeding to walk to my car.
