Scarlett’s POV:“We don’t have to do this” he started, I waited for him to continue. He approached me, and opened his mouth to continue, but suddenly…“Smith, and Willis, both of you to my office right now!” the principle said, he seemed disappointed giving me one last glare, before leading us to his office.We were sitting inside the office, the principle was very pissed. “This is a high school, not a boxing ring, I should expel you, the three of you!” he said, looking at the three of us. Lucas’s face showed some bruises, Anthony really made some damage to his face.“But, since your friend here, admitted that it was his fault, I decided to give you one last chance” The principle added. Anthony and I both were surprised, glancing at Lucas who was looking down.“but that doesn’t mean your actions weren’t wrong, I will not tolerate with such behavior just like that, which is why, the three of you will have a punishment” he finished, I gasped, then only looked to my shaky hands, mom will
Scarlett’s POV:I was doing my work while Anthony continued to ask me weirdly all those surprising questions about my practice, or our classes.I kept my answers as short as possible, not having any idea why he was acting so weird, he never asked so many questions in such short time.“Some girl was asking for you…” Mom interrupted us, I narrowed my eyes at Anthony, he glanced at me for a second, “yeah…I don’t think I’ll go” Anthony shook his head, continued to clean the counter.When he realized we were both glaring at him, “she’s trying to get me to go on a date with her…and I gently rejected her offer” he explained, my eyes looked away from his, of course he’ll pass, he was already in a relationship.“Okay, then Scarlett can go instead” mom said, I was about to protest but mom already left. I shook my head, and he only smirked.I went outside the kitchen, and when I was about to step inside the restaurant my eyes glimpsed Lucas, who was already staring at me. I looked away, ignoring
Scarlett’s POV:“I missed this too…” he said, holding my hand, I cleared my throat, looking away nervously, it was so hot inside his car. He let go of my hand, then started the car, “thanks for coming, it’s good to have you back, Pixie” he said, I smiled at him.“How’s school going?” he asked, I blushed, feeling embarrassed to answer that. To be honest I wasn’t doing very well since he stopped studying with me.“Not so good” I said, still looking at the road, he shot me one of his serious looks. “that’s because you’re not studying, don’t forget it’s graduation year, and you need good grades if you want to go to art college” he said, I shook my head, “but it’s too hard, and with the spring competition at the doors…” I said, he nodded understanding.“okay, how about we study together, like we always do?” he offered, I shook my head, looking away from him, “what? Why?” he asked, I shrugged, “you don’t want to?” he asked, seemed annoyed, I shook my head once again, he stopped the car, and
Scarlett’s POV:Lucas was acting nice to me, he approached me, and helped me with the table that was on my way. He smirked, showing off his strong muscles in a funny way, I couldn’t but smile back at the way he was trying to make me laugh.But suddenly, I was shocked by Anthony who rushed in between us, and grabbed Lucas from his shirt. I gasped, staring at Anthony who was more than pissed, gritting his teeth from frustration. Lucas didn’t even make a move, instead he was glaring calmly at Anthony, daring him to make his next move.“Anthony…” I called out his name, he didn’t even bother to turn and look at me, “he’s not coming close to you…ever again” he threatened, still not looking at me.“Anthony…let go of him, we’ll be in a big trouble” I reminded him. Just then, he turned his head towards me, and gave me an annoying look, but eventually he let go of Lucas.“Fine…but he’s going to stay away from you” Anthony threatened, and started to walk away from Lucas, who only fixed his shir
Scarlett’s POV: I had no idea why, but I decided to give Lucas a chance. The guy seemed to really love me, and I deserved someone like that.But I told him to wait for a moment.I went upstairs to my room, and looked for my phone, when I found it, I dialed Anthony’s number. He deserved to hear this from me, that I was giving Lucas a second chance. He cared a lot about me, and I knew how much he was pissed and frustrated whenever Lucas was around me.I frowned when I noticed that he already called me. I waited as his phone rang, when he didn’t I didn’t give up, deciding to call him one more time. But when he didn’t pick up, I shook my head, and called Anna instead, she didn’t pick up as well.I sighed, then headed to the closet, and changed my clothes, suddenly my phone started to ring, it was Anna. I smiled then picked up.“Hey…you were busy?” I said, playfully, she giggled, “girl…you have no idea” Anna said, making me smile widely at her.“Listen, I got something to tell you” I star
Scarlett’s POV:I was tired, from walking that much, but it was my decision, and I was glad that Lucas respect it. I stepped inside my house, “Mom, I’m home” I said, but no one answered me, which means mom was still at work.I stepped inside the living room, but I froze, gasping from shock. The sight of him lying on the sofa like that made me heartbroken. I realized that there was an empty bottle of wine on his chest.What happened? I headed towards him, trying to wake him. And suddenly, Anthony pulled me closer to him, I was sitting right beside him, while he was still lying on the sofa. The smell of alcohol made me confirm that he was drunk.“Anthony?” I whispered, his face inches away from mine. “What happened?” I asked him, so irritated by his black eyes. “You are so fucking beautiful!” he whispered, his husky voice made me so turned on, and it wasn’t helping me to move on from him, it was making me so weak, and falling even harder for him.I was about to stand, but he grabbed me
Scarlett’s POV:I blinked twice, not believing Anthony was there, I thought he was still asleep. “Girls…is that Anthony?” I asked, they exchanged weird looks then gave me puzzled looks, “we had no idea he was coming…” Nat said.“Who told him we’re hanging out? Guys, seriously? You know I’ve been trying to avoid him lately, being around him wouldn’t help me get over him…” I started, Anna stopped the car, and I could see the boys coming to our spot.“Scar, you’re asking the impossible, both of you are our friends, can we just please hang out together, all of us like we used to? Our group is going to split in the next year, some will go to separate colleges, some probably will leave the country…” she said, with a sad face. I suddenly realized that all what she said was true.“Okay…but, it’s kind of weird, I mean…what if he remembers last night?” I asked, they smiled at me both of them, “I don’t think he will, he was drunk…” Anna said, I nodded at them, then the three of us stepped outside
Scarlett’s POV:I was shocked, not believing my eyes, and so did Anthony, and the rest of our friends. Anthony looked down, clenching his fist.Megan was laughing and faking the fact that she was having fun with the guy she was holding hands with, and it was really obvious that she was only doing it to annoy Anthony, and make him jealous.But wait, I thought Anthony said that he sent her back to London?Anthony walked away from our group, I followed him, glimpsing the smirk on Megan’s face grew even wider, she was a psycho!Anthony walked outside the arcade, seeming so pissed, “Anthony…” I called out his name. “I need to be alone right now” he demanded, not looking at me.I was about to leave him by himself, but I couldn’t, “No! I can’t let you alone” I said, he frowned looking at me. “I broke up with her last night…and there she is already seeing someone else, and you know what bothers me the most is that she’s here with that guy to hurt me” he said, I approached him.“Maybe she’s tr
Scarlett’s POV:I watched as Anthony made his way towards me, I backed away, still staring at his black eyes, not smiling back. “Scar…come on, didn’t you miss me?” he asked, “I think we should text Eric to come” I started, “what? Seriously?” he said, I gave him a serious look.“Yeah, since you’re afraid to stay alone with me!” I snapped, his eyes widened, “That was nothing!! Scar, you got it wrong…” he started, I shook my head making my way pass him.“Scarlett….Please, listen to me!” his voice was louder this time. “And why should I listen to you? I mean, you didn’t even bother to tell me you were going to London…do you know how much I was hurt? Do you know that I spend the whole night looking for you everywhere?” I said, feeling my eyes watering just remembering that night.“I was supposed to party my winning, but I found myself shattered…” I added, “Scarlett listen…” he said, closing his eyes, seeming sad, and hurt.“No…you listen...can you imagine how bad I felt when I had to find
Scarlett’s POV:I was still not convinced, how could Anna ask something like that? “He’s a really nice guy…” she was still convincing me. She glared at Nat, trying to get some help from her, “You got nothing to lose, you were trying to push everyone away lately” Nat stood, and approached me. “You’re all messed up, you really need to stop making excuses like studying, or…come on, you even started cooking!” Nat shook her head, as if that was the worst thing ever.“Steffen dies!” I snapped, she gasped, placing a hand on her heart, “And so Enzo…and guess who killed him, it was Steffen!!!” I said middle fingering her, her eyes widened, I could see Anna’s arms crossed over her chest.“IS THAT TRUE!!!” Nat yelled, staring at Anna, “NO!! She’s just messing with you!!” Anna said, pulling Nat in a tight hug, and gave me a deadly glare.“If I agree to go on that blond date…can you stop all the drama?” I said, I know already that that blond date won’t work, because I was sure and certain that I w
Scarlett’s POV:“What?” I asked, my mother was talking as if she had just won the lottery, “Mom…he didn’t call, it’s just another game…” I said, she shook her head, “No! Wait, why would you say that? This is your best friend, and he didn’t leave” she added, “He just left because Megan wanted a closure” she said, I opened my mouth to say something but didn’t even bother.I started to walk upstairs, but mom grabbed my hand, “He’s not a bad boy, you think I’d let my daughter love someone like that?” she said, I sighed, “What do you want me to say mom? I can never believe Anthony, he really screwed up this time!” I said, “Even if he was back, I don’t want to talk to him, like never…” I said, she gave me a surprised look.And with that, I went upstairs, but when I was about to enter my room, I stopped, turning around slowly, looking to his empty room that was opened. I sighed, shaking my head, then stepping inside my room.Then suddenly, my phone started ringing, I didn’t bother to see who
Scarlett’s POV:The shock left me breathless, “Are you okay?” Sophie asked me, “Are you sure?” I asked her, my knees trembling, “Positive, she told me this morning!” she said, seeming honest.My eyes widened, he left? Was that his plan from the beginning? To be everywhere around me, to create this whole new world of caring, loving and protecting, and then disappear? Just like that? And take everything with him to London, with Megan…I nodded, “Thank you for telling me” I said my voice cold, Sophie gave me a concerned look. It was the first time that I couldn’t react, or show I was in pain, maybe because I was getting used to it, I mean it wasn’t the first time. He had done this before!It was so hard to focus inside the class, it was literally the worst day of my life, never felt so needy, or weak before now. Staring at the void, spacing out, and not having any idea what was going on around me.*****************“I had no idea…I swear!” Eric said on lunch, I was still staring at the vo
Scarlett’s POV:I had a horrible pain in my stomach, I felt like I want to puke from the shock, I was completely shocked, shattered and confused…Was he pretending all the time? Our friendship was just a game? Why would he do that? Why would he offer to go somewhere and then he ask for backup, saying he doesn’t want to be left alone with me…I could feel my knees weakening, and I couldn’t find him anywhere… but I knew who to talk to, I knew who had the answer.“ERIC!!!” I yelled, walking towards him, feeling frustration, madness and almost ready to throw up my heart from pain.“What is it?” he asked, seeming worried, “what is this?” I asked him, showing him the messages. He narrowed his eyes reading, suddenly his eyes widened, “is that Jason’s phone?” he asked, changing the subject.“Answer the damn question…” I said, opened his mouth to explain, “It’s not what you think…” he started, I shook my head, “okay then…tell me what am I supposed to think?” I asked, “Listen, you really have to
Scarlett’s POV:He placed the necklace around my neck, his breaths tickling my neck, I couldn’t believe he was so close to me. My heartbeats accelerated wildly, as if my heart could never beat faster than that. But I realized I was wrong, my heart could beat faster than that, because Anthony’s words made me lose my mind…“You’re so fucking beautiful, Scar” he whispered, and I was so messed up, I closed my eyes, but suddenly, I opened them to notice he had already pulled back, his eyes still staring at me.“Thanks…” I looked away from him nervously, feeling myself blushing, “how do you feel?” he asked, like I’m about to lose my mind?“I honestly don’t know…I just know that I want to do this” I said, he smirked, “I know you’ll nail it there! I heard you playing, and it makes me feel so good Scar…” he finished, his eyes looking deep into my eyes.“Thanks for everything…” I said, opening the door, and step outside his car.*****************I was holding my violin, heading to the back sta
Scarlett’s POV:I froze, Anthony’s hands on my waist. Our eyes locked for what looked like ages, but suddenly…“Anthony!!” it was a familiar girl’s voice, Anthony and I both looked at the girl, who wasn’t alone, she was with Lucas.“Emilie?” we both said, a wide smile on her face, “yeah!” she said happily, walking towards us, I glanced at Anthony who cleared his throat, and let go of my waist nervously.“What are you doing here?” Anthony asked her, “Just hanging out with my brother, before tomorrow’s competition” she explained, “you’re one of the competitors?” I asked, she nodded, I looked at Lucas, why the hell didn’t he mention that before?“I swear I had no idea…” Lucas said when he saw the confused annoying look on my face, “Yeah, I didn’t think it was a big deal…” she said, I glanced at Anthony who was still glancing at me, but he looked away nervously when our eyes met.“It’s good you’re here…” Emilie said, looking at Anthony, who shrugged, “do you want to split up? And go have
Scarlett’s POV:Anthony’s face was inches away from mine, his hands cupping my cheeks, and his eyes were roaming my over my face, “and there’s something else that you should know…” he said, his face so serious, and I can tell how nervous he was.“I knew it!!! I knew you left me for her!” Megan’s voice interrupted us, Anthony’s eyes widened, and I couldn’t believe she got the nerve to come inside my house after she asked him to move out, and choose her over me.“What the hell are you doing inside my house?” I said, walking towards her, she raised an eyebrow, “I came to apologize, because I was leaving tomorrow, and because I thought I was wrong about you and Anthony since I confirmed that there was nothing going on between the two of you…oh well, I guess I was right!” Megan said, approaching me, “is it her weird hair? Or her ugly face?” she said, pointing to my face, looking at Anthony.“MEGAN!!” he yelled, walking closer to me, he stepped in between us. I was shocked, I had no idea wha
Scarlett’s POV:I couldn’t believe that the competition is tomorrow. I was all stressed out, the winner would have a chance to go to Oxford the college of art, and it was my big dream!But I was having a bad issue, I had a lot to do lately, that I forgot to pick the dress I was wearing for my performance. Not just that, I was really worried and not having any idea what to play.I put my violin on my desk, it was getting annoying, and it was getting late, but the same issue kept popping on my head, what should I play? I wanted something unique, something to guarantee me winning.And there was something else, Anthony was avoiding me lately, and I missed him so much. Eric said that he didn’t want to distract me from practicing, but I was so sad thinking he wouldn’t even call to ask if I was doing well, or if I wasn’t stressing. Didn’t he miss me like I missed him?I could feel a tear falling down my cheek, but I shook my head, I won’t think about him! not anymore, but I thought to myself
