Hidden shadows

Chapter two

Bang

Bang

I fell off the bed, startled by the noise. "s**t" I hissed when I saw the time, I was late for school. "Hurry up and get dressed!" Alice ordered from the other side of the door. I quickly got dressed and rushed downstairs. Alice was already waiting for me at the front door. 

.............. 

I was walking through the school car park when I saw Jade almost get hit by a car but luckily I got to her in time and pulled her out of the way before she got hit. "Are you blind or something?. You almost got hit by a car!" I yelled at her.

 I felt like an asshole after I yelled when I saw tears running down her cheeks. "What's wrong" I asked softly. 

"It doesn't matter" she wiped her tears and walked away from me. I grabbed her arm and dragged her through the school building to the girls toilets. I gave her a some tssue to wipe the rest of her tears. "What wew you crying about?" I asked her for the second time. She showed me her phone. The screen show a picture of her boyfriend kissing another girl. 

"Why do you put up with this?" I know this isn't the first time he has cheated on her and I know this isn't the first time she has seen him do it. 

"I don't know" she sighed sadly. "I just love him, I don't want to lose him" Jade sobbed then she ran out of the toilets.

 Just as Jade had left a boy came into the toilets. It was Dylan. He looked around and blushed, waved at me and ran out. I laughed, his face was hysterical when he realised he was in the girls toilets. 

I picked up my bag and went to my next class which happened to be English which I happen to share with my lovely so called cousin, Tiffany. As soon as I got through the door, the teacher glared at me "You're late!". 

"No, you're just early" I shot back. The class laughed and he glared at them. "Grab a seat!" he dismissed me, waving his hand in the direction of an empty seat, the seat was next to Dylan and behind Tiffany.

 "Yay" I sat down and Dylan started flirting with me. I rolled my eyes and kicked his chair, making him fall of it and onto the floor. The whole class laughed. "That everyone is the class clown" a girl behind me announced laughing. 

Dylan got back up on the chair and ignored me throughout the lesson, whick I was thankful for. I don't want any more boy drama in my life. As I was packing up, the girl that was sitting behind me interduced herself to me. Her name was Sasha and she was the head chearleader. 

"What's that" I pointed to the poster she was holding. "Oh that is just my poster for school president" she shrugged her shoulders like running for school president was nothing. "That's cool, I was president in my last school". 

"Really?" she asked shocked "I didn't take you for someone who would be interested in something like that" she admitted. "I did at one point but not anymore" I admitted. 

"Can you vote for me?" she asked. "Sure, who else is running for it?" I asked wanting to know my other options before I decided to vote for her. "Dylan, Tiffany and Ryan" she cringed. 

"Okay, I'm definitely voting for you then, I don't want to imagine them 3 as school president. She laughed at that "Me neither" she admitted. "Hey what's your next lesson?" 

I looked down at my timetable "Sience with Mr crunch" I laughed "Might as well be Mr crock" We both laughed. "He is the grouchest teacher I've ever met. He gives detention slips faster than you can say the word s**t". She groaned "I have him as well". We walked to Sience together, occasionally bumping into a few of Sasha's friends. 

..... 

Me and Sasha had just sat down when someone came skateboarding through the door. He wobbled then fell off the skateboard, the skateboard ended up flying towards the teacher and knocked him of his chair while his wig went flying off his head. The class laughed. 

"DYLAN HERNANDEZ, DETENTION!" The teacher was furious and his face was a bright shade of red. "I always know it was a wig" Dylan laughed getting up and dusting his self off. Dylan then walked to his set, winking at Sasha when he walked passed us. 

We were ten minutes into the lesson when the door flew open. A guy with dark brown hair and green eyes came in. His eyes were pretty but not as pretty as Joe's "oh Joe" I sighed dreamily. It wasn't until Sasha gave a weird look that I realised I said it out loud. 

"TYLER BENSON, LATE AGAIN I SEE. YOU CAN JOIN YOUR FRIEND, HERNANDEZ IN DETENTION!" the teacher yelled. 

"What happened to your head?" This Tyler guy asked unaffected by the teacher's yelling. Mr crunch gasped and bent down to get his wig. He put his wig back on but it was on backwards. The class laughed. He huffed and sorted it out then glared at Tyler and then at Dylan. 

"Take a seat" the teacher ordered. Ty sat down next to Dylan. They started chatting immediately. 

Another ten minutes went by and the door opened once again. Joe strolled into the room, put a piece of red paper on the desk and then took a seat behind Dylan and Tyler. That was badass. 

Mason and Cameron then came through the door, they also handed the teacher a red piece of paper and took a seat behind me and Sasha. 

"ALL THREE OF YOU, DETENTION!" 

................. 

"He literally threw up all over Tiffany" I explained about what happened in class to Ruby and her boyfriend, Ben. Sasha was standing next to me, typing away on her phone. 

"I had front row seat. Her face was hysterical" Ryan laughed walking past us. We laughed when we saw him bump into Dylan's open locker. "Hey I heard this is were beautiful people meet" Ryan flirted. Dylan laughed "Keep dreaming, buddy". 

"Don't worry, you'll be in my dreams, naked" Ryan ran before Dylan could try to punch him. Joe suddenly was by my side "Hey Sasha, hey pretty eyes" I blushed and looked away from Joe. 

Sasha started talking to Joe about something. I don't know what about, I was too busy trying to get rid of the blush that seemed to be permanently tstuck to my face to be bothered to focus on their conversation. 

After they finished talking about whatever they were talking about, he left, probably to detention. Just as he left I realised Ruby and Ben were gone. Leaving me with just Sasha. 

I got an email from the head of the tutoring center. She needed to see me in room C51. I separated from Sasha and headed to the classroom, after asking Sasha for directions, that is. 

 .............. 

Joe's pov

I was starting to fall asleep with my head on the table when the door opened and there she was, the love of my life standing before my eyes. Her reddish-brown hair was so long and silky, I just wanted to run my hands through it. Her eyes reminded me of grass and her red covered lips were so kissable. 

She walked over to the teacher and they started talking. I overheard Miss Key saying that she has to tutor me. Dylan who was sitting next to me elbowed me. I glared at him. He was smirking and wiggling his eyebrows at me. I just rolled my eyes at him and went back to staring at her until she left. 

Cameron and Mason moved to the table in front of me. They started teasing me about Holly. I put my headphones on to drawn all my so called friends out. When the teacher left the room, Dylan grabbed my headphones and ran out of the classroom with them. 

I ran after him. When I got into the hallway Mason tripped me over and I landed on the floor. When I got up I saw Holly, Sasha and Ruby laughing at me. "Had a nice trip" I heard Holly's beautiful voice say. Her voice was just as beautiful as her. The boys laughter snapped me out of my trance. Cameron and Mason who were next to me were laughing the hardest. I got in front of the and bashed their heads together. 

They both immediately stopped laughing after that. I looked back to were Holly was to find that she was no longer there. 

........... 

Back in the classroom, the teacher was waiting for us. She gave us all another detention tomorrow lunchtime for leaving the classroom. 

There was absolutely nothing to do, so I went back taking a nap. I laid my head on down on the desk and covered my head with my arms. 

Smack! 

Smack! 

Smack! 

My eyes shot open immediately. I lifted my head up to see what it was. It was Ty throwing paper balls at me. When he noticed I was glaring at him, he gave me a sheepish smile and decided to throw them at Cameron instead. Cameron just gave him the finger and ignored him. 

I decided sleep was not an option and grabbed a book from the bookshelf and started reading it. Cameron and Mason gave me shocked looks while Dylan slipped into the seat beside me and put his warm hand on my forehead asking if I was ill. I smacked his hand away and told him to go away. 

When detention was over, we all rushed to the cafeteria. We only had ten minutes of lunch so food was first priority. I brought a burger and chips while Cameron and Mason got pizza and chips and Dylan and Ty got chicken and chips. 

We sat at our normal table while Ty went outside to eat, as he always does. He says that it is because cafeteria is soo crowded and noisy but I know it is so he can be with his crush. 

Cameron starts blushing when Cleo comes over you our table. "Were have you boys been?" she asked us but her eyes are only on Cameron. "Detention" Dylan grins. 

"That's not something to be grinning about, Dylan" Cloe frowns at him but I could see the slight twitch at the corner of her lips. 

......... 

Cloe's pov

I took a seat next to Cameron. Dylan started wiggling his eyebrows at me, I rolled my eyes at his behaviour and started to talk to Cameron and Mason about Holly and why she can't remember us. 

Sasha joined us "I over heard what your convo. Holly mentioned to me that she can't remember living here or most of her childhood" Every one gasped in shock and horror. "HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?" Joe shouted. The whole cafeteria looked at us. 

The bell rang and everyone stopped looking at us and left the cafeteria. Well that was awkward.
