Chapter Four
It was only lunch time and I was already sick of school and no wanting to be here. All I've heard from the thirsty bitches is ‘’Fit Mr Lupus’’ this and ‘’sexy Mr Lupus’’ that. We get it. He’s attractive. Don’t girls talk about any thing else?!
I walked over to where my friends were sat and joined them. The weather was so lovely and warm now, pretty much the whole school was out having heir lunches in the gardens and on the field. I looked around, Just minding my own business when some thing my friends were talking about caught my attention.
‘..All night long’. Raven boasted though I wasn’t sure what exactly she was even talking about.. Until the others chimed in. Surprise, surprise, they were talking about their ‘’summer romance’’ again.
‘Look, girls, let’s talk about some thing else’. I suggested. They all looked at me. ‘What are you guys doing after school?’ They all shrugged. ‘Oh, wow, you’re all so exciting’. We all shared a laugh but they soon went back to their previous conversation and I just tuned out.
I looked around the gardens again, Just randomly people watching until my eyes wandered over to where the teachers were sitting. They had their own ‘’special’’ place where they could sit and not be bothered… and there he was sat with them.
It's weird. Knowing this guy was a guy I dated... Slept with, Now he’s here, at my school, as a teacher. You really couldn’t make this s**t up. I felt like I was trapped inside a fiction book or some thing, only my ‘’Summer Romance’’ turned into a ‘’horror’’ then some how turned into a ‘’werewolf’’ fiction and now... What, a ‘’teacher student forbidden romance’’. Please!
Like he could sense my gaze, he looked up but just as quickily as he did, I looked away.
‘I haven’t seen a new teacher’. It was Sophie that snapped me out of my random thoughts. Oh for god sake, what was worse than talking about romances.. Talking about MIke. But, as predicted, that's where their conversation went.
‘He’s over there, look’. Anna pointed, making it incredibly obvious. I just rolled my eyes and shook my head, annoyed.
‘Oh wow, yeah, he is tasty.’
‘I know right, I’m totally gonna bang him’. I looked up at Raven and squinted my eyes, she noticed. ‘What’s up Bellie?’
‘My name is ELLIE!’. I screamed at her, shocking her and our other friends. I heard the conversations around us silence and when I glanced around, People were staring. ‘Sorry, PMS’. I lied and shook my head.
‘O..k..’. I looked down and stayed quiet while the girls continued their conversation. They carried on chatting about Mike until the first bell rang, signalling for the lower years to head to afternoon registration.
‘So, Ellie, did you lose your V-card yet?’ Lauren joked. I just looked at her.
‘What?’
‘Did you have s*x over the summer holidays?’ As soon as my brain processed her question, all the bad memories came flooding back. Brent. The alley… the pain, the fear. My breathing deepened and became shakey and I could feel the familiar feeling of an episode starting to bubble to the surface. My friends could sense some thing was wrong and tried to comfort me, but my mind was to far gone and I just stood up and ran away, completely ignoring them calling my name.
It's over. He can’t get me. He can’t get me. He can’t get me.
I tried to keep repeating and telling myself. I knew he was dead, I knew he couldn’t get me, but It's like my body wouldn’t calm down.
How long was I going to have to suffer through these stupid ‘’episodes’’?...
