"just do it"he stated.
"Thanks for driving me".
I lazily walked inside and went straight to my room.
I felt goosebumps on me.
That feeling...
Was he trying to kiss me or...tempt me?
The next day.
People were still talking about me and that infamous picture of Carter and i that I got spread around.
I was still bothered by it but also realized that there was nothing I could do than pray for it for it to be over soon.
Three students walked to me,one with round cut asked."Emma right?".
"Yes"
"I'm Caleb " he introduced himself."That's Remy and that's jasper"he introduced his friends behind him to me.
"We heard about you and Carter Davis"Caleb reminded me.
God...
"It's not w-".
Caleb cut me off."We think it's cool what you've done".
"Huh?"
Then Remy said."The cheer squad has been gate keeping Carter since forever".
"Especially Violet Hayes".
Well not surprised.
"Although he's obviously not interested in her"said Remy.
But what about that kiss..
I'm not so sure about that.
"You're pretty brave to go after him".
Brave indeed...
"I-"
"And we love brave people".Caleb terminated."you obviously don't care what others think of you, that's admirable."
....I was smiling now like a turtle duck.
"Besides we now have even more in common."Remy suggested smiling at me.
"We do?"
"You have beef with the cheer squad just like we do."stated jasper.
"They are terrible people,I'm glad you realized that."
I was dignified."Yep,they are".
"So,wanna hang out we us?"Remy stated beaming.
"..um...sure,when-"
"Now". Caleb consummated.
Now.... weird but it's school hours,I was flabbergasted."Now?but we have.... school."
"We skip the next lesson."
"So skip with us."
Really...
SKIP??
Me and skipping class,never happened before.
Just the thought of it make it uncomfortable to the bone.
It's not like I loved school but I've always taken it seriously,never skipped a lesson, always showed up on time, always did my homework.
Having zero social life definitely helped keep that pattern alive.
I felt depraved...
"So what do you say?"
"Sure let's hang."The reason I said,I just wanna act valiant because I saw Carter,I think he was listening to our conversation.
"Hey nerd."I heard that familiar cold deep voice.
I froze in my steps.
"Are you done stalking me?..or are you leaving to write about me in your little diary?"He said nonchalantly.
Everyone burst out laughing.
He was the nerd.
I didn't give him a second look I just followed them.
*****
We all went at the Schools rooftop,they were smoking perceiving the smoke through my nostrils makes my belly hurts so bad.
"Are you sure you don't want a cigarette?"
"I'm sure,are you sure the teacher won't find us here?"I asked worriedly.
"Chill, nobody's coming here."
Remy said while smoking and chilling on the schools rooftop which was strictly prohibited for students to enter.
My discomfort grew by the minute.
"So what's the deal with you and Davis?"
"Carter?"
He just nodded."There's no deal whatsoever."
"Please.."Remy rolled her eyes."I've never seen Carter socialize with like anyone besides Alex."
"True,he's not much of a talker."
"Nor does he acknowledge anyone's existence"
"Except yours."
I just rolled my eyes,they were completely saying nonsense I don't believe a thing."So bullying counts as socializing now?"I asked with a smirk.
"Carter has scared off other but not like he does with you."
"you were with him in his bedroom flirting"
"We didn't-"I was cut off by Remy."Carter allowed you to sit close to him."
I was getting pissed right now,what were they talking about?..
"What do you mean 'Allowed"
"Don't you think others have tried to sit next to him in class?"
"He scared everybody away and he needs the space."
"Not with you there apparently."
I didn't really know what to say,I felt dumbfounded.
Where there sayings true..?
"And then he's been eyeing you non stop since you came here."
"Bullsh*t"I exclaimed.
"Do you honestly think a single picture could make everyone jealous of you?"jasper asked."Everybody noticed Carter's stares."
"Especially that b*tch, Violet"
"It's not really"I defended."He doesn't see me in any special way."
They had to imagine things,I thought to myself.
There's no way Carter was staring at me.
The only reason he could be paying attention to me it's because he's trying to find any opportunity to make my life miserable again.
But I couldn't explain that to them,I'd have to reveal my past then and that I couldn't do.
I couldn't let anyone know what an outcast I was,how I was Carter's favorite victim.
And how I never managed to fight back.
"Anyway... we're gonna break into the school today."jasper said in unison.
"WHAT?"I said with horror.
"Mr.Michaels took my phone during English and is confiscating it for a week."Remy protest."A whole week!!"
"We'll break into the teacher's office and take it back." Caleb said with exasperation.
What the hell are they protesting..?
"B-Breaking into the teacher's office."I said with horror in my face.
"Luckily for is they always forget to lock it."
"But it's....the teacher's office?"I said with melancholy.
"So? they took Remy's phone."Caleb said with a smirk.
"My dad just bought the phone for me."Remy was somber."He'll flip when he finds out a teacher took it from me already."
I was ⁶ and heartbroken by her words,I felt pity on her.
"Her dad is super strict."Jasper said with a mournful face.
They all look.... sad.
"Breaking into the school is still insane..."I said.
"Emma,we wouldn't do this if it wasn't important."Remy contested."My dad will kill me when he finds out,I mean it."
I felt so sad for her,she really needs my help.
"So, you're coming with us."Caleb terminated pointing to me.
"Me?"
"We could use another helpful hand."
....?!
"C'mon, let's do this together,Emma."Jasper concluded.
"We'll really appreciate your help."said Caleb.
"You'd help me out a lot."Stated Remy with a sad look.
****
Upstairs in my bedroom I was thinking how stupid I was,I can't believe I said yes...
"You idiot!!"I cursed.
My conscience wouldn't allow me to turn them down.if her dad was really that strict about it,how could I not help.
She would be in so much trouble...
Yes I didn't know her that well,but I still wanted to help her somehow.
If I was in a similar situation I'd want someone to help me as well.
