When the alarm went off the next morning a sigh passed Christian's lips as he reached over and turned the alarm off. He hadn't slept much last night. All he could think about was Ana. The way he spoke to her was unfair. He knew he shouldn't have said it but his jealousy got the better of him when he saw that message off Jose. He didn't want to think of Ana being with anyone let alone that Jose. When Ana wasn't in school, he had heard him say a few times to Kate how much he was missing Ana and he couldn't wait to tell her how he felt about her. Kate being Kate naturally told him not to waste his breath because Ana didn't see him like that but Jose clearly didn't get the message.
Getting out of bed he got ready for school, dressing simply in a pair of jeans and a hoodie. He needed to talk to Ana. To apologise. Grabbing his bag, he headed downstairs and took an apple from the fruit bowl, kissing his mother's cheek as he headed out. Elliot had already left to go to University and Mia had left early to get in some cheer-leading practice before school started. Something about a big game coming up.
Getting into his car, thankful his dad finally bought him a car. It was only a little run around but it was perfect for him. It got him to school and back though he hoped that when he turned eighteen that his parents would buy him a new car before he left for college. If he decided to go. Driving to school he wondered how Ana was getting to school before he shook the thought out of his head. Why was he saw obsessed with her? Concentrating on the road he pulled up into the parking lot and climbed out, moving his bag over his shoulder before heading inside to his locker. He had English Literature first again so he was hoping to see Ana in class so he could apologise. Opening his locker, he put his bag in before grabbing his text book and notebook along with a pen.

"Baby!" Leila squealed as she spotted Christian at his locker and quickly made her way over to him. She had tried a number of times to get hold of him last night but he didn't answer any of her messages or call her back. "You didn't answer any of my messages last night and ignored all my calls. What gives? Are you still mad about what happened with that loser Ana? Come on baby you knew she had it coming. I mean her step dad is on the run…It's crazy for her to be here! Surely you can see that?"

Anger instantly boiled as she started on Ana once more. Clenching his jaw tight he shook his head before taking a breath. It was now or never. "I just needed time to myself. Time to think. About us."

"About us?" Leila cooed sighing happily.

Christian rolled his eyes. "Yeah, look…this isn't working out for me. I want to break up."

Leila's face dropped as she looked to him absolutely horrified. "You what?!" She screamed looking to him, ignoring the stares that had suddenly come their way. "This isn't working out for you? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" She snapped at him. She tried not to cry but she could feel the tears pooling in her eyes.

Christian sighed. "I don't have any romantic feelings for you Leila. I know you have strong feelings for me but I'm sorry the feelings aren't mutual." He shrugged a little. "I don't want to lead you on thinking we have a future when in reality we don't."

Leila's bottom lip trembled. "I thought you loved me."

Christian raised an eyebrow. Was she actually serious right now? He has never said that he loved her. Shaking his head, he sighed. "Leila, I have never even said those words to you, not to mention that we haven't even been together long. Not really. Seven months if that. What we had was…nice, for a while. But it's not what I want. I'm not happy. We are two very different people. We both deserve someone who is going to make us happy and I'm sorry but you don't make happy."

"But this is so out of the blue! We were fine yesterday!" She looked to him and frowned. "Is there someone else? You were fine until Ana showed back up…is it her? Do you want to be with her is that it?" She asked glaring at him.

Christian sighed in frustration. "It has nothing to do with Ana, Leila. You're not the person who I thought you were." He told her as he looked to her. "You used to be nice and now you're just a bitch all the time. I've been thinking for a while about us breaking up but honestly? Yeah, yesterday seeing the way you spoke to Ana…you crossed the line big time. But its not just her. You speak to too many people like that and I don't like it. I don't like who you've become. You're not a nice person, you've turned into the stereotypical spoilt high school girl who believes everyone is beneath her and that is not someone who I want to be with." He shrugged a little. He had to be honest with her. Well she didn't need to know how he felt about Ana because right now even he didn't know how he felt about her.

"I'll stop. I'll be nice! Please don't do this." She begged looking to him.

"I'm sorry Leila I've made my mind up. I don't want to be with you." Closing his locker, he brushed past her and headed to his lesson as the bell went. Was he harsh? Probably but he couldn't beat around the bush with her. She needed to know her behaviour in general was unacceptable not just towards Ana.
Heading inside his English Literature class he glanced around, seeing Ana at the back of the class on her own he smiled a little to himself before he headed to the back. Sitting down next to her he saw her body stiffen slightly but she didn't look at him. Putting his stuff on the desk he then looked to her and sighed. "I'm sorry about last night."

At his apology, Ana didn't respond. Didn't look at him. When she got home last night she went straight to bed, but didn't sleep much. He made her so angry. He had no excuse for speaking to her the way he did.

As she ignored him, he sighed. "Ana please…" He whispered looking to her. "I'm really sorry. I was a prick. I had no right in speaking to you like that."

"But you did." Ana cut in looking to him and shook her head. "I've got enough shit going on, on top of the shit your girlfriend keeps giving me. I don't need it from you as well."

He sighed. "She's not my girlfriend anymore." He mumbled looking to her. "I just broke up with her."

"Well good for you. I'm sure your family will be thrilled." She commented as she looked back down to her work.

"Look I was a jealous idiot and I'm sorry…"

Ana frowned as she looked to him. "Jealous about what? That I have friends?"

"No of course not but Jose…" He sighed and played with his fingers slightly. "I know he really likes you…when you weren't here all I heard him say was how he couldn't wait for you to come back so he could tell you how he felt about you…I don't like the thought of you being with him…" He admitted with a sigh as he looked to his hands once more. He didn't know why he didn't like the thought of her with him or anyone else.

Listening to Christian, Ana frowned even more as she looked to him. "Well if it makes you feel better the feelings are not reciprocated. I do not see Jose in a romantic sense what so ever." She told him before shrugging. "Besides, who I date is none of your business. Up until yesterday you've never spoke a word to me. If it wasn't for the fact our dads work together and we came over for dinner last night then we wouldn't even be speaking now. You can't say you don't like the thought of being with Jose when you don't even know me. As far as your knowledge about me goes I'm sure it doesn't go further than you knowing my name."

Christian closed his eyes briefly. God this girl was infuriating. Why was she so stubborn?! Sighing he looked to her. "Can we meet up later after school?" He whispered as the teacher started the lesson.

"I can't." She whispered back keeping her eyes on her work as she wrote her notes.

"Please…" He begged looking to her.

Ana sighed as she looked to him. "I can't. My dad doesn't like me going out after school with Morton still out there. He wants me straight home. He gave Kate strict instructions this morning when she picked me up." She whispered back to him.

"How about you come over mine? I'll pick you up and drop you home? Or I'll come to yours if your dad were to prefer that." He suggested looking to her. He was begging, he couldn't believe it. "My dad's working late tonight so my mom usually lets us order take-out when he's working late. I'm sure she would love for you to join us again..."

"I'll have to double check with my dad."

Ripping a piece of paper out of his note book he jotted down his number before sliding the paper over to her. "Text me when you know."

Ana looked to the phone number in front of her before she sighed and took it, folding it up she slipped it into her pocket before turning her attention back to the class. She could feel the heat rising in her cheeks. What was it about him? Normally she never batted an eyelid when it came to Christian Grey but the last two days it was like she seeing a completely different person.
Ana spent the rest of the lesson concentrating on her work. She didn't want to think about Christian. Now and again she noticed Leila's army of barbies looking back at them. She put it down to Leila telling everyone that Christian had broke up with her and they were keeping an eye on him. She rolled her eyes at the thought. As the bell went for the next lesson, she closed her books up and gathered her things up.

Throughout the lesson Christian saw Leila's friend looking back to him. He was surprised Leila had told them, he expected her to fight a bit more for him but he was glad she didn't. He wanted to put Leila behind him. But Ana was right about one thing. His family will be thrilled that he has broken up with Leila.
Gathering up his things as the bell went, he looked down to Ana. "What class do you have next?" He asked curiously to her before rolling his eyes to himself. Geez lame Grey.

Ana frowned at his question as she got to her feet. "Chemistry." She simply replied. Why was he so interested in her and her schedule all of a sudden?

Christian nodded before he sighed. "Let me know if you want to come over when you've spoken to your dad. Honestly I don't mind picking up and dropping you back…"

Ana looked to him and nodded a little. "I will once I've spoken to him." She offered him a little smile. She had to give him points for trying. "I'll see you around." Brushing past him she headed out of her English Lit class and over to Chemistry, although it wasn't a subject she was looking forward to mainly due to the fact that Leila was in the class and sat behind her which normally resulted in Leila throwing stuff at her. Sighing to herself she stopped at her locker to grab her chemistry book and headed to her class. Luckily Kate was in this class with her so she would be her back up if Leila started.
Heading into the class she glanced around, seeing Leila sat at the back looking miserable as she was surrounded by her friends, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She always had this inkling that Christian wasn't into their relationship and now she could see it. Leila wanted him more than he wanted her, well he obviously didn't want her. Sitting down next to Kate she offered her a little smile. "Hey Kate."

"Hey Ana." Kate grinned with a smile to her before frowning. "I did give you all my notes to help you catch up with this class, right?" She asked worrying slightly. Kate and Ana had most classes together bare the odd few so when Ana was off when her mother was killed, Kate made sure that she wrote as much notes as she could for Ana along with anything the teachers gave so she wouldn't fall behind. Ana was a bright girl and would easily catch up but Kate struggled with Chemistry so she hoped her notes were enough.

Ana smiled and nodded. "Yes, thank you. I think the only class I've got to catch up with is History but we don't have that together and Mr Hughes said during one of my free periods this week if I go and see him, he'll give me everything I need and give me a rundown of what I've missed."

"Awe amazing. How's English Lit?"

Ana smiled to her. "Easy." She chuckled and smiled. "Mr Davies emailed me all the work when I emailed her to say I would be returning to school. He also offered to help me catch up in any of my free periods but you know how me and English Lit are."

Kate smiled. "It's so good to see you smile."

Ana smiled to her. "Dare I say it I'm starting to feel a little bit more normal." She shrugged a little. "Guess being back in routine was just what I needed."

"Well lucky we have a break after this lesson. I'm starving."

"You're always starving." Ana chuckled looking to her.

"I know. I hope the cafeteria has some decent snacks today. Yesterday was all rubbish." She wrinkled her nose before Kate smiled to her friend before turning her attention to the teacher as the lesson began. It felt good to have her friend back.

Ana looked ahead at the teacher as the lesson began. She could faintly hear Leila whispering to her friends behind them but she chose to ignore them. She did not want to be in anymore Leila drama.
When the bell eventually went Ana and Kate packed their things up before heading out of the class. "I'm going to just drop my books off to my locker. I'll meet you in the cafeteria?"

"Sure, do you want anything?" Kate asked looking to her.

"No thanks I have an apple in my locker. I'll be right back." She smiled to her before she headed down the corridor towards her locker. Opening her locker, she slid her books back onto the shelf, grabbing her apple before she looked at her timetable on the door of her locker.
Jumping as her locked was slammed shut she looked to the perpetrator, resisting the urge to roll her eyes as Leila stood in front of her, her army of barbies behind her as they all glared at Ana.

"You." Leila hissed as she glared at Ana. Her make up was smudged from where she had been crying.

"What about me?" Ana asked looking to her. She was not in the mood for Leila.

"It's all your fault Christian broke up with me!" She screeched. "We were perfectly fine until you showed your face back here again."

"How is it my fault?" Ana asked looking to her completely gone off. "Maybe he finally realised what a horrible person you are. To think once upon a time, we used to be friends and then you got a pair of tits overnight and suddenly you're better than everyone else? No one likes you Leila apart from your army of barbie followers but I doubt even they like you very much. Just follow you around to make themselves popular." She shook her head. "You've got no one to blame but yourself."

"I hate you!" She screamed before she launched herself at Ana. Grabbing a fistful of Ana's hair she punched her right in the nose before pushing her into the lockers as hard as she could.

"FIGHT!" One of the barbies shouted and soon there were hundreds of kids gathering around them to encourage the fight.

A loud groan passing her lips as Leila punched her in the nose, Ana clutched her nose, she could feel the blood pouring from her nose. "Are you crazy?!" Ana shouted before stumbling back as Leila pushed her. Anger fuelling her, Ana pushed Leila back before slapping her across the face as hard as she could.

"Oh, hell no! Get her girls!" Another barbie shouted as the girls came at Ana, each grabbing an arm while Leila glared at Ana before kicking her as hard as she could in the shin. She wasn't going to let Ana get away with this.

Walking down the corridor, Christian frowned seeing the group of people surrounding and cheering. There were so many people around he couldn't see what was going on. "Hey Adam what's going on?" He asked spotting one of the guys he knew.

Adam looked to him and laughed. "Dude your chick is going crazy on that Ana girl."

Christian's face dropped as he shot him a look. "What?"

"Leila. She was bitching to that Ana girl and Ana clearly said something she didn't like cause next thing we see is Leila punching Ana in the nose and going out at her like a crazy chick. Even her friends are beating on her."

"And no one thinks to stop it?" Christian asked appalled.

"Dude. Two words. Chick fight. No one ever wants to break up a chick fight. It's too rare and Leila's hot and so its Ana."

Shaking his head, Christian quickly pushed through the crowd of people, seeing Ana cowering on the floor trying to protect her body as the girls kicked at her he shook his head and went over, dragging Leila away from Ana before he pushed the others away from her. Normally he wouldn't dream of laying a finger on a girl but he was disgusted how all these people stood around and did absolutely nothing. What the hell is wrong with people? "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Christian boomed glaring at Leila and her friends.

"That bitch had it coming!" Leila spat looking to him. "If it wasn't for her, we would still be together!" She screamed as she glared at Ana on the floor.

"No, we wouldn't!" He shouted back to her. "I broke up with you because you're a fucking bitch! I told you breaking up had nothing to do with Ana!"

"But we were fine until she showed her stupid face again!"

"No, we weren't! You might have been happy but I wasn't. You're a nightmare! I've never met anyone so selfish. You might be a pretty girl Leila but inside you're ugly as fuck. Why would I want to be with someone who makes pretty much everyone in this school miserable?!" He shook his head. "I hope this was worth it Leila because I will be more than happy if I never have to see your face again. You're nothing but a bully and there is now way I'll be associating myself with someone like you." He snapped before he turned his attention to Ana as he bent down beside her, seeing her nose bleeding he rummaged through his pockets to see if he had a spare tissue.

"But Christian…" Leila whined looking to him and stomping her foot like a child.

"What's going on here?" Demanded a teacher as he came over.

As the crowds quickly disappeared, Christian looked to the teacher. "Ask Leila and her idiot friends. Clearly they think three girls against one is a fair fight."

"You lot. Principal's office now." He ordered pointing to Leila and her friends before he moved his hands into his pocket and pulled out some tissue and offered it to Christian. "Get her to the nurses office Grey. I'll speak to you two later."

Taking the tissue from the teacher Christian nodded. "Yes sir." He mumbled before he moved the tissue to Ana's nose. "Come on." He whispered down to her as he helped Ana to her feet and walked down the corridor towards the nurse's office, keeping his one arm around Ana's waist, holding her close to him as he bought another tissue from his pocket and held it gently to her nose to help soak up the blood. She didn't seem very steady on her feet and she seemed like she couldn't really concentrate. He couldn't believe how low Leila has sunk. Did she seriously think if she beat up Ana, he would take her back? Never would he go anywhere near Leila again or forgive her for what she did to Ana. Ana has had it tough enough as it is. She didn't need Leila adding more stress into her life.

"Oh my god Ana!" Came Kate's voice as she came barrelling towards them. Looking to her friend she looked to Christian before looking to Ana once more. "What the hell happened?"

"Leila." Ana simply croaked.

"What the fuck? Has she completely gone crazy?"

Christian sighed. "She thinks Ana's the reason I broke up with her."

Kate looked to him and raised an eyebrow. "You broke up with her? Why would she think Ana is the reason for that?"

"Because I kicked off at her about the way she spoke to Ana yesterday." He shook his head before shrugging.

Kate went to say something but frowned looking to Ana as she struggled to catch her breath. "Ana are you alright?"

"My chest hurts." She breathed out.

Kate sighed. "Let's get you to the nurses office."

Hearing Ana say her chest hurt, Christian instantly scooped her up in his arms.

"Put me down…" Ana groaned in pain as Christian picked her up. She kept the tissue to her nose, though it was soaked through right now.

"You're struggling to catch your breath so you shouldn't be walking." He simply told her as he carried her to the nurse's office, Kate in tow with him.

"Nurse Webster, Ana needs help! She can't breathe properly" Kate declared going in.

Ana couldn't help but roll her eyes. My beautiful dramatic friend.

Seeing the three come in, Nurse Webster got up from her seat and opened her examination room. "Put her on the bed please Christian."

Nodding Christian gently put Ana down on the bed, looking at her before he stepped away and stood next to Kate.

"Someone want to explain what happened?" She asked putting her gloves on and taking the tissue from Ana and giving her some gauze to help absorb the blood more along with some more tissue. "Keep your head forward a little Ana."

"Leila Williams the bitch beat her up because Christian dumped her!" Kate huffed with a shake of her head. "And her stupid friends joined in as well!"

"She punched me in the nose and then they kicked me….my chest hurts."

"Okay Ana, I'm just going to have a little feel of your ribs." She told her as she gently moved her hands around Ana's ribs. As Ana winced, she sighed. "Sorry sweetheart." Moving her hands away she grabbed her stethoscope. "Okay I'm just going to listen to your chest now." She told her as she moved the stethoscope to Ana's chest before sighing and looking to Ana. "I don't want you to panic but I'm going to call an ambulance."

Ana's eyes widened. "What?"

"I want you to have an x-ray to make sure nothing is broken and I want a doctor to listen to your chest because I'm not happy with how it sounds right now…not to mention I think your nose is broken."

"I'll go with you." Kate declared looking to her.

Ana sighed before wincing. "You can't Kate, you have class."

"I'll go." Christian piped up. "I have a free period next."

The nurse nodded before looking to Ana. "Is that alright with you?"

Ana looked to Christian for a few minutes before sighing and nodding. She wasn't thrilled about him coming with her but at the same time she didn't want to be alone. Christian was better than no one and she couldn't expect Kate to miss class because of her.
Watching as the nurse went over to the phone Ana relaxed on the bed, trying to ignore the throbbing pain her chest as she kept the tissue to her nose. Why the hell did Leila think she was behind Christian dumping her? It was crazy. There was certainly nothing going on between her and Christian Grey.
