It was September the 1st, our first day back in school. Paul and I had had sex a few times this summer but Paul had sex with many girls this summer. After shagging me he became a player or man slag as I call him. It seems I created a hot sex maniac, my bad. I slept with the odd boyfriend but they never lasted long my nan said I was a heart breaker and I would find the right guy very soon. The sad thing was that I had, Paul Lahote. Yes I loved the boy I hate, we flirted and everything but it was too interesting hating each other and he was too busy with all the slags. Shit had changed since we were thirteen, Lela and Rina were no longer my friends, Rina moved away and Lela became a slag and one of Kelly's (the worst slags) minions. I didn't need them though I was happy being away from them and I was friends with Kim Connweller I always had been friends with her but Rina and Lela I was closer to. She was the fourth quieter one in the group; she also had an obsession with Jared Thail, Paul's best friend. The first day back always meant gossip day. Everyone knew I had broken up with Todd captain of the baseball team. But not about Paul and I's sex on the beach and not the cocktail. This year was going to be interesting and I knew it would as my nan said it would. My first lesson was biology and I sat next to Paul.
"Hey baby how was your summer. Miss me much? Well apart from the times you saw me how about we have a back to school quickie in the closet? I know how much you want me."
"It was lovely except for when I saw this pigheaded boy. You know what babe I think I would rather stick needles in my eyes. Why don't you try some other girl one who isn't able to read you like a cheap paperback."
"If I remember right you weren't thinking that before. To good for me now is it? I could have any girl I want so your loss. You think your better than some of the girls in our year, you're not you shag around and at least they are open about being slags unlike you"
"Please I was drunk, by all mines shag anyone you want I don't care. Yeah that's not the only thing their open about. Because I don't want to shag you does not make me disbelieve that I am a slag. You should also be careful who you call a slag man slag, bye bye"
With that I walked off, see what I mean about being an arse. And I still have two years in school with him and then living on the same rez. The rest of my lessons were a blur and lunch came.
"Kim enough now. You need to either get over Jared or get under him."
"Oh yeah good one. Ella I'm not like you. I need confidence or new looks. Can you buy that?"
"I'm going to ignore that sweetie. You're beautiful Kimble. Remember that. If he doesn't notice you then it's his loss not yours."
"Geez Ella I'm sixteen stop calling me Kimble. I wish I could but I love him too much."
I didn't get to respond as Paul walked past and winked at me and said "offers still on babe you know what to do"
"Ariella please say you are not going to go have sex with Paul in the closet. AGAIN!"
"No I've decided no more hate sex I'm going to move on and have normal sex"
"Good he's a bad person Ella. I don't trust him. Wait normal sex? No, no sex with Paul or anyone else please Ella your better than that." With that we finished our lunches and went to gym. Paul and Jared were in the class. Kim was freaking out she hated gym she could run fast but everything else not so much. It was ridiculous what we had to wear. Green shorts and white tops our school colours. Luckily for Kim it was track time, meaning we all had to run around the field to find our times so they could put the fastest in track team. It ended up Jared, Paul, Kim then me I don't know who came fifth. I was the only one who went on the team I needed something to do. Next we had English and all four of us had that as well. I was sadly sat next to Paul behind Kim and Jared; yes they were next to each other. Result!
"Harlow I know you want me so you need to stop with the games. These games I don't do."
"Lahote I do not want to shag you. Not now not later."
"Harlow, Lahote! Stop talking this instance. How about on our first day back can you at least try and be behaved students it's a stretch I know." Ahh Mrs Bickton was the same cow she was before.
"Of course, it would be my pleasure to not talk to him"
"Whatever you want" then he mumbled "you old hag"
"Office now!"
Great first day back and I'm already in the office. We both got two weeks detention, starting today. A brilliant start to my year. This means I'm going to be late to work, I work in a small cafe called Em's its run by a girl called Emily Young soon to be Uley. Kim also works there, ill just get her to tell Em that I'll be an hour late.
"You know Harlow this is your fault, stop trying to play hard to get. I've already got you."
"Ahh that is where you're wrong. You were the one who said you old hag. No you had me"
"Quiet down children. Mr Lahote and Miss Harlow I cannot say I have missed your company most nights these past few weeks." Miss Shrewsbury was the woman who did detention and Paul and I were regulars.
Those two hours were mind numbing and now I had to work for four hours. Most teenagers go there as there is nowhere else to hang out when it rains most days. My shift was uneventful as usual.
