Thanks for the reviews! I hope you enjoy this chapter.
"What bit you in the ass?" Austin turned to face the teacher.
I decided to ignore him for the rest of the class. I was working on the new assignment that the teacher gave out when I felt tapping on my left shoulder. I turned my head and looked at Trish. "Who's that?" Trish asks. "Is he your boyfriend?" She raised her eyebrows up and down and sent me a wink. She looked over my shoulder to see a better view of Austin. "He's cute."
I slap her arm, "Disgusting." I turn my head to see Austin looking down at his desk. What a weird ass. "I'd never date that." I roll my eyes.
"If you don't then I will." She licks her lips. I notice Austin shift in his seat. I bet he's listening to every work we're saying.
"Gross. He's not your type. I don't think he's anyone's type. He's a nasty ass player."
"Oh, I'd let him play with me any day."
I gringe, "Ew!" I place my hands on her shoulders and look her square in the eyes. "I'm serious! Don't go after that. There are a lot of people in this school you could go for."
"Fine. He's all yours."
"No he's-"
"Shhh!" I hear someone behind me say. I send them a glare and their angry face disappears. I can feel the empowerment growing. It makes me feel good.
The bell rings and I head out into the hall. I feel a body jump next to me and I turn my head to the right. "What do you want?"
He doesn't say anything. I head to my locker and I turn around he's gone. I open my locker and put my books in my locker. I look at my schedule and I have a spare. I didn't know I had a spare. My schedule is online so they could have changed it. I shake it off as I place my phone in my pocket and close my locker door. I nearly scream to the top of my lungs because Austin was leaning against the locker next to mine. "What the hell?"
"Sorry sweetheart. Did I scare you?"
I cringe at the sight of him. "Don't you have class?"
"I have a spare." That's weird. So do I. I start to walk away when Austin stands in front of me. "So, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with your friend last class."
"What are you talking about?"
He starts slowly walking towards me as I start getting closer and closer to the locker doors. "You know what I'm talking about."
"A-ac-actually I- I don't." My hands hit the cold metal doors and I turn my head to see that Austin got me cornered.
"Ally Dawson...shame on you." I send him a confused look. His face goes to my left ear and shivers were sent through my spine. "How long have you liked me?" Oh, my God. I push him away from me and send daggers at him.
"I don't like you." I say disgustedly.
"From what I overheard…"
"You're an asshole. You're a womanizer, a player, a dick! You don't deserve a person like my best friend. You don't deserve any self respecting girl out there! You don't deserve anyone. So if you would please leave me the hell alone. I don't like you! I don't want you in my life! You may live right next to me but I don't ever want to see you if I don't have to. You don't even deserve a good-bye." I start to walk away. I can't even be here right now. I need to go home.
Friday
Trish's POV
I enter the school and head to my locker to get my books earlier. I go over to Ally's locker and sigh at the fact that she isn't there...again. She hasn't been to school since Monday. I have no idea what happened to her. She hasn't talked to me since. I see Austin walk by in a dark hoodie. I move his hoodie off his head and slam him against a locker. "What the hell did you do?" I didn't even care that the entire school was watching us right now.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You did something to Ally that upset her didn't you. Did you make fun of her? Bully her? Hit her? You did something!"
"No I didn't. I said a simple thing and she blew out on me. She's the one who made fun of me. Bullied me! Hit me! She's the person who did something. She judged me for who I am! If you're going to accuse someone of doing something you're talking to the wrong person here."
I let go of him and let out a bit of steam. I get into my car and drive over to Ally's. Her parents shouldn't be home right now anyways. I open her house door without knocking and go into her room. I open the door and see Ally laying in her bed. "Ally!" I scream. I see her jump in the spot and fall off her bed.
"Ah!" She lifts her head. "What the hell was that for?"
"I did not transfer across the country to be with my best friend for her to not go to school. Where I see her most of the time."
"I'm sorry." She says as she goes under the bed covers again.
"Oh, hell no!" I whip the covers off the bed and send them flying across the room.
"Trish!"
"Get you lazy ass out of bed and get ready!"
"Where are we going?" She sits up excitedly.
"To school you idiot!" She leans back on her pillow and turns to face the other way. "I didn't want it to go this way but you leave me no choice." I grab her leg and drag her off the bed and slide her into her walk-in closet.
Eventually I was able to get her dressed and she did her make-up willingly.
"I'm not going to school. We can do something else but school is not an option for me right now."
"Could it be because you bullied a kid who goes by the name Austin?"
"How'd you know that?"
"He told me. I had to get it out of him because you wouldn't receive any of my texts or calls all week!"
"I'm sorry. I just can't look at him anymore."
"Why is that?"
"Because." I raise my eyebrow for Ally to finish.
"That's not a valid answer."
"I feel bad for what I did. I can't look at him. It pains me to see him. I know it will. I'm not like that. I'm not supposed to care about who I put down. It's supposed to help with what happened to me-" I notice Ally start to cry. I sit next to her and give her a hug.
"It's going to get better."
She takes a deep breath. "I need to stop dwelling in the past."
"I notice it get's better but you need to find another way to cope with it without hurting other people's feelings. Especially Austin's."
"I can't look at him."
"Well, you're going to have to if you want to fix this. He's really hurt by what you said."
"What time is it?"
"3:45."
"He's home!" She jumps to her feet.
Ally's POV
I knock on Austin's door and he opens and nearly slams it in my face when I put my foot in the door to keep it from closing. "What do you want?" He shot a dirty look.
"I wanted to apologize for what I said to you on Monday. It was selfish and gross what I did. I'm very low. No one ever deserves what I said to you."
"I accept your apology."
I smile in relief. He could have just slammed the door in my face again but instead he forgave me. "Thank you so much. For now on I'm going to try to cut down on my name calling."
"Thanks. But can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Can you not cut down just a little. I still need someone to argue with."
