Chapter Two

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my door. I groaned loudly and dragged my ass out of the bed. I opened my door and met my mother smiling at me. I frowned a bit , "What are you doing here?" I asked. She raised her eyebrows " Uhm I kinda live here" she said. I face palmed myself and regretted it cause it hurt. "That's not what I meant mom" I said "I know. I have a day off" she beamed, her beautiful blue eyes sparkling as she smiled.

I'm the exact replica of my mom. We had the same long chocolate curls, slender body and full pink lips but instead of blue eyes I had grey eyes with specks of green and gold. Thanks dad.

I'm like the younger version of my mother.

"Really?"I asked cause she was hardly given a day off since she was a gynaecologist. "Yes so better come home early. We're having family dinner" she said. I smiled "Okay"I said and she left. I brushed my teeth and quickly took a shower and got dressed in some black ripped jeans, a white t-shirt and a sleeveless jean jacket with my white air max. I pulled my hair in a ponytail. Then I grabbed my phone and black leather backpack.

I rushed downstairs to the kitchen and grabbed a granola bar. "Bye mom" I yelled "Bye honey"she called from her room.

I collected my car keys and left the house.

Reece's car was still in his driveway. Great so I have time to get into the school building before he happens. I drove out of the driveway and down the road. I got to school in twenty minutes. And took some deep breaths before climbing out of the car and speed walking to the school building. I managed to get to my locker without being tripped or hit but they were whispering as usual.

My moment was short-lived when my locker was slammed shut missing my head. I jumped back with a yelp, people started laughed. What's so funny?... idiots. I was surrounded by three bloody souls. His nice cologne filled my nose. He leaned against my locker with a smirk on his pretty face.

" Missed me?" He asked in his smooth English accent. I scoffed a little but said nothing. He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. I became lost for a second m, his green eyes mesmerized me, his hair was styled to fall over his left eye in a boyish way, his perfect pink lips were slightly- Wham!  He slammed me into my locker , I groaned and fell to the floor from the impact. I felt the tears well up in my eyes.

They laughed. I just sat there staring at the floor. He crouched down and held my chin. "Aww are you gonna cry" Jason asked from were he stood beside Severn who was smirking at me.

I bit the inside of my cheeks and removed my face from his grasp.

"She is gonna cry" Severn said.

"She'd better not cry cause we need those tears for later" Reece said  wrapping his fingers around my neck and applying pressure. I tried to remove his hand from my neck. "S-stop" I choked out ," sorry what?" He pretended not to hear ,"I said stop p-please" I begged. People were laughing and calling me names. Sick ingrates...they are witnessing attempt to murder and they're laughing.

He smirked and let go of me , I started coughing uncontrollably. I couldn't breathe, it felt like I was was drowning. My head was spinning, the tears started flowing on their own. Their laughter increased, I felt somebody calling me and shaking me but I couldn't make out the person.

The person suddenly got up and pushed Reece away... Amaya. " S-stop" I tried to say but I couldn't . "You're a bastard a bloody coward" she was saying. I forced myself to get off the floor and leaned against the locker. I reached out and pulled Amaya back. She turned to look at me I shook my head at her.

She clenched her fists and turned back to face Reece." He's not worth it Amaya" I said, after some seconds she picked my bag up and put her arm around me. " You're right, let's go" she said I nodded. I locked eyes with Reece he had a blank look on his face. I looked away and followed Amaya down the hallway.

"Thank you" I said to her, she smiled a bit "what are best friends for?".

***

"Hey Amaya" one of Amaya's other friend nicole said as she passed by our table. " Hi don't forget our biology project tommorow" Amaya said, the girl nodded and gave me wierd look.

I rolled my eyes at the girl and continued eating my burger.

"Hey! watcha eating?" Someone yelled from the populars table, " it's a hamburger" another person said. " Geez , you're not only a bitch but also a carnibal" Jason said , " cause you're eating your fellow pig" some dumb idiots laughed at his lame joke.

" Okay that's just lame" Amaya said out loud. I looked at her ,"what?" She asked me. I shook my head with a small smile. "Watch your mouth Clayton" he said in annoyance, Amaya turned around to face their table " watch your dignity Ashford your garage is open" she said the whole cafeteria 'oohed' , he zipped his jeans up and smirked.

The next thing he said made me cringe, " I bet you saw my Lamborghini parked in there" he winked at her, she smiled " no all I saw was a small scooter with two flat tyres" she said sweetly. The whole cafeteria burst into fits of laughter. I just stared at her in shock, Jason was red in the face and about to come over to our table but the bell rang. Amaya got up to leave, she signalled for me to stand up, I did  but stopped when I saw Jason glaring at me. I raised an eyebrow at him and walked away.
