Ailin's POV
7:50 am
"Mum im heading off to school" i said kissing her on the cheek .
" Okay stay safe" she said typing on her laptop.
I walked out the door with my phone , my driveway was empty , lya is meant to be here by now. I tried calling her but it just went straight to voicemail.
"Mum could you drive me to school" i asked poking my head through the door.
"Sure, just give me ten minutes let me round up what im doing and ill get dressed and drop you off" she said .
I closed the door and sat at my door step. Seriously why did lya have to leave me in such a situation. I tried calling her one more time but still got the same result , a voicemail.
I can't wait for ten minutes for mum , school starts in 9 minutes. I would walk but that will just make me 30 minutes late.
A car horn broke me out of my trance.
"You planning on skipping school or what" Vaughn shouted as a result of the loud music blasting from his car. At least I've got a ride.
I got my bag and walked over to his car and got in.
"Woke up late or something" he asked.
"Or something, lya literally bailed on me , again" i sighed.
"Don't you have a car of yours" he said not diverting his attention from the road.
"Mum cant afford a new car" i shrugged.
"Then ill make it my responsibility to take you to school every morning"
"You don't have - oh who am i kidding" i said chuckling.
"Im gonna get down here " i said making him to stop abruptly.
"Why, dont want to be seen with me" he said grinning.
"Its not that, dont want your girlfriend to claw my eyes out"
"I dont gave a girlfriend" he said with a confused look.
"Yeah that's what you think" i said getting out from the car . I grabbed my bag and began my walk to school. I wouldn't have passed through this stress if lya just showed up, i groaned.
When i got nearer to the gates of the school i sighed , a few more steps and I'll be there. I groaned knowing i still have some energy to waste , call me lazy i don't care, i just dont enjoy stressing myself out .
I finally got to the gates of hell which is my supposed high school.
"You know you would have just accepted the ride rather than be 4 minutes late" he said twisting his keys in between his fingers.
"Yeah and risk your girlfriend clawing my eyes out, no thanks" i snorted.
"Very lady like" he said scrunching his nose up.
I rolled my eyes and walked in through the school doors, who says ladies dont snort. I felt an arm drape around my shoulder .
"Thought we don't speak in school anymore" i groaned trying my best to pry his hands off my shoulders.
"I changed my mind" he said more like a question than an answer.
"And i want to witness eyes clawing, that will be fun right" he said before i could reply to his previous statement.
"Could you let go of my shoulders, ill rather not die from your body weight" i said ignoring his previous statement. Honestly if i was him ill love to witness such but being in the situation, im not really interested not that she has the gut to the do it thou.
"We weigh the same thing " he whined.
"I think you weigh more than a building" i said . He rolled his eyes playfully at what i said and walked in silence beside me till i got to my locker.
I got out my books for the day and shoved it into my bag and locked it up.
We began heading for our next period when i was stopped by a loud ear piercing shrill.
"Von" she said in a high pitched voice. To be honest she sounded like a dying rat that got its throat ripped out.
"Its Vaughn" he scoffed
She ran up to him and hugged him real tight, not sure if he is able to exhale properly.
"I missed you, where were you all weekend , i waited and never saw you" she said ignoring his correction ,trying her best to sound pitiable. Guess another failed attempt of hers.
"Did we have plans" he said trying to push her off him nicely.
"Yes you promised to take me to the mall" she said pouting.
"You sure she is not your girlfriend" i asked raising my eyebrows.
She turned to me noticing my presence.
"Didn't i warn you to stay away from him " she said glaring at me.
"You say that like he's your property." I said with a bored expression.
"I would slap you but ill get slut all over me " she said scowling.
" Girl come get me , even if you dont touch me its obvious to everyone you already got it on you" i said maintaining my bored expression.
Vaughn threw his head back laughing, to say everyone was shocked is an understatement. People probably see him as a stone like person, someone who has never laughed in front of people.
"Baby are you laughing at me" she whined.
"Never call me that" he said scrunching up his nose and walked past her.
"What have you done to him he always acknowledged me " she said anger seeping through her tone.
"I doubt he knew you existed, you should know he speaks to people that come up to him " i said turning to move towards my next class .
I heard her huff and stomp away. The hallway was quiet, i turned around and saw everyone staring at me , great the attention i never needed.
