Thanks mum, I thought to myself as I was forced to walk home- in the rain. Yeah, I guess I could be really mad, but I was too distracted. Thankfully I had memorized the way to and from school, so I was able to walk home without problem.
Just as I was turning onto my street, a car drove by too close to the curb, causing a bucketful of water to splash over me.
Sorry bout that, Bells.
Bells ?
I scowled and flipped him off and he drove off, laughing evilly. I know I should be worried about him, and trust me, I am, but for some reason, I wasn’t. Sure, he scared me like no other, but something about him, it made me want to get to know him.
As I turned up the walkway into my house, I noticed his car parked on the street. Filled with annoyance, I stomped up to the car, ready to bitch off to him.
Connor- I started, only to freeze.
Connor smirked as he pulled away from the topless girl underneath him. I flushed, completely embarrassed, and quickly u-turned and made my quickly into the house.
I just interrupted Connor’s shag time.
AWKWARD. (A/N that show is the best. Nuff said. Haha)
I could feel his stare on my back as I struggled to find my keys. Once I found them at the bottom of my bag, I hurriedly rushed into the house, slamming the door shut behind me.
Oh ! Pumpkin ! I’m so- My mum rushed to me.
It’s fine. I cut her off, heading upstairs.
25 minutes later
I collapsed onto my bed after the most relaxing, hot, shower I’ve ever had. Leaning over the edge, I grabbed my bag and started working on the rest of my homework. Out of the blue, my phone started ringing loudly.
Unknown it read on my screen.
Hullo ?
Hey it’s Jess.
Oh, yeah Jess, erm, how’d you get my number ?
I took it from your phone during Spanish. She said casually. I smiled, only she would do that.
So, what’s up ?
Ugh…. She groaned, I heard about what happened, in the library.
My eyes widened and I buried my face in my pillow.
Mphm ?
Word travels. Jess explained
I hate him. I mumbled
It’s not true… is it ? She asked in a hushed tone.
What ? I asked hesitantly.
That you are going to have sex with him. People are saying that you were so desperate that you started stripping in the library. And also- actually never mind. Jess muttered.
Jess ! What were you going to say ? I asked, sitting upright, my heart pounding.
Well, Connor told a bunch of people that you were begging to get him to take your virginity-
I gasped, hate and anger filled me.
And so you blew him in the back of the library because you’re so desperate.
I didn’t respond, I couldn’t.
Bella ? Bella, it’s okay, no one really believes him. Jess tried to assure me.
Listen, I have to go. I muttered, hanging up before she could respond.
Connor Micheals, this means war.
The next day I woke up early just so I could pick out my outfit for the day. I smiled as I pulled out my pink blouse and leather skirt with my black leather stiletto boots and went all the way to the top of my thigh. See ? This is why I love being British. Honestly, us Brits can pull of ANYTHING.
I gave myself one more look over before heading downstairs.
Bye mum.
Bye- hold up, come back here. I groaned and u- turned, heading back to her with my head drooping.
Who’s the guy ?
There’s no guy. I snapped, angered by even the slightest mention of Connor.
Ah, I see, okay. Well, have fun then. My mum said with a knowing smile as she sipped her coffee.
I gave her a quite hug before grabbing the keys and leaving.
15 minutes later.
I took a deep breath as I parked my car. There were a couple kids by the entrance, but Connor or his friends were nowhere to be seen.
Showtime.
I stepped out of my car carefully, feeling the attention turn to me. I smirked confidently despite the nauseating butterflies at the bottom of my stomach. Ignoring the whispers, I headed inside, towards my locker.
