JUSTIN'S POV:
I could see her shadow in the window, watching the garage where I was now staying after Allie and Vaughan had set it up for me as a bedroom. She thought I couldn't see her…
"You're leaving early, aren't you?" her voice questioned from behind as I made my way down the driveway a little while later. She must have seen me leaving…
"Got a couple of things to do before school." I informed her. I couldn't help but stare. Who knew a pair of pyjamas could look so… desirable? I shook my head to rid myself of those thoughts and carried on down the driveway, turning back "See you there?"
"See you there." she mirrored, nodding her head in agreement. Turning, I reached the bottom of the driveway and looked back, seeing the door shut behind her
TIFFANY'S POV:
"Tiff, could you go and tell Justin to get a move on please?" Vaughan asked a little while later
"Oh, he's already left." I informed him "He had some stuff to do before school apparently."
"How long ago was this?" he questioned
"Half-an-hour ago I think, maybe a little longer. I was bringing in the milk." I replied
"Okay, thanks. Are you guys gonna be okay getting to school?" he asked
"Do you think something's wrong?" Mum questioned. The thought had crossed my mind if I was being honest. He had been acting a little strangely…
"Justin's never left early for school once." he admitted "So I need to go and find out what's going on."
JUSTIN'S POV:
"Nice of you to show up…" I stated as Darren made his way to the still locked school gates
"Are you sure this is the right place for us to meet?" he questioned as he looked around to see if anyone else was around
"Not scared of being caught, are you?" I inquired "And besides, we're not doing anything wrong, are we? We're just two people stood outside of school gates waiting to go in."
"Whatever…" he sighed "So what does the winner get?"
"How about the key to where the exam answers are kept?" I suggested, raising an eyebrow at him
"Are you serious?" he inquired
"100%. Dad keeps them on a bunch in his briefcase." I informed him "So whoever wins the bet, gets the key. Yes or no?"
"You're on." he replied
"Good." I stated
TIFFANY'S POV:
I made my way to the lunch table Floyd and Leo had acquired and took a seat… "Have you two heard?"
"About this Gabriella Wark person?" Floyd asked "Yeah. Apparently she caused a lot of trouble last year, so Vaughan's got his work cut out."
"She didn't just cause a lot of trouble…" Rhiannon informed us "She was the definition of trouble. Made Miss. Mulgrew and Mr. Lowsley's lives a living hell!"
"Really?" I questioned
"Yeah, really." she replied "Kacey had to give up her dreams of being a professional boxer because of her."
"What happened?" I inquired
"A climbing wall was set up outside, and Gabriella challenged Kacey. Just because Kacey was beating her, Gabriella managed to get above her and kick her down, breaking her arm in the process. She's disgusting, I don't know why she's allowed back, actually." she informed us
JUSTIN'S POV:
"Have you heard about this Gabriella girl?" I asked Tiffany as I waited by her locker for her
"Yeah, and she sounds horrid." she admitted "She broke a girl's arm!"
"She sounds pretty cool to me…" I informed her, chuckling lightly
"Are you serious?" she questioned "You think she's cool because she broke someone's arm?"
"She's a troublemaker, just like me. I think we'll get along." I admitted
"But deep down you're not a troublemaker and you know it." she replied "Let the good guy I've seen shine through, show people you're different to the jerk persona that they've seen so far."
"What if I don't want to?" I inquired
"Then we can't be friends…" she informed me, shaking her head as she shut her locker door and walked away
Running my hands over my face, I kicked the lockers and watched her as she made her way out of the school building. As I was about to follow her I heard Dad's voice call my name…
"I think we need a word, don't you?" he asked as I turned to face him
