I've decided to keep going with this story. I guess reading over my previous work and editing the past two chapters made me feel like I could not abandon Leonora. Although, if any of you do read this, go reread the past two chapters and REVIEW. Oh, these chapters will be short. I apologize in advance.
Burning Down the House by The Used
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool babies, strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
When the alarm went off, I jumped out of bed in a trance like state, quickly making my way to my bathroom. I turned on the shower, pushing the dial all the way to hot. I pulled out a towel from under the sink and quickly stripped out of my night clothing.
When the bathroom was almost full of steam, I stepped into the shower and immediately started to wash my face with soap. I quickly washed my hair before washing my body. I turned off the shower and rubbed my eyes, who know fifteen minutes less of sleep could be so harmful!
I dried myself and wrapped the towel on my head before walking out of my bathroom and quickly changing into my school uniforms. Being too tired to do anything with my hair, I quickly braided my hair and had it sit over my shoulder. I walked into my closet looking for my flats, before realizing I had left everything at Gregory's house.
"Shit." I cursed under my breath, "My phone! Amelia! I hope she didn't text me!" I whined before walking down stairs. I heard nothing from the kitchen. I assumed both my parents were out later then midnight and weren't getting up until later.
I lazily moved about the kitchen before pulling out a pan and making an egg. I dropped a piece of toast into the toaster before sliding the egg onto the toasted bread. A quiet knocking at my door pulled me from my trance. I walked to the door and opened it to see Gregory standing there my shoes in one hand and my phone in the other.
"Thank you!" I yawned as I took my shoes from him and dropped them on the floor before stepping in to them. Gregory handed me my phone, "Your backpack is in the car. Amelia called you." He told me before grabbing my hand and walking back to the car.
"I'll just talk to her in class…" I yawned again. Gregory opened the passenger door for me and I crawled in and put on my seat belt. I rested my head against the door as Gregory got into the car and started to drive off to school.
Amelia pounced on Gregory and I before we even stepped out of the car. "You did not answer your phone!" She yelled at me. I smiled, "I left it at Gregory's last night by accident!" I told her and grabbed my bag from the backseat, "But what happened? I want details!" I continued.
Gregory and I looked at each other and nodded as he walked off to his group of friends. "I said yes." Amelia declared before turning a light shade of pink. Amelia and I walked to my locker as a blonde haired girl walked up to us. "Oh hey Canada." I said calmly.
I wasn't exactly friends with Canada, but I knew Amelia was. "Canada! What's up!" Amelia said cheerfully. "Oh, nothing much. I came here to tell Leonora something." I looked up at her strangely, "Oh?" I questioned.
"You heard of that new girl, right?" Canada asked. "Yeah, I heard she was coming today. Why?" I looked at her puzzled. "She's all over your boyfriend." She stated calmly.
I glared at her, "Excuse me?" I hissed. She backed away, "She's in the courtyard, and her name is like Ivy or something. She walked up to him and was like rubbing her arms up and down his and touching his legs." Canada's voice cracked, "You aren't mad at me, right?"
I looked up at her before slamming my locker shut, "No. Not you. What did Gregory do?" I hissed. "He tried to stop her but she was practically trying to climb into his la—oh shit." Her eyes looked past me and I turned to see an uncomfortable Gregory stiffly walking with the new girl—Iona. "Oh you got to be fucking kidding me." I growled, "Not HER."
"You know her?" Amelia and Canada asked at the same time looking confused. "She stopped at Gregory's house before the party and had Gregory jump her car. She like attacked Gregory with her body." I hissed as Gregory shot me a nervous glance.
"You are kidding…right?" Amelia said glaring at Iona, who was completely obvious to the six pair of eyes staring at her. "No!" I nearly yelled, "She was rude and she was flirting with Gregory!" I watched as Gregory got closer, "And I swear to God, if he does not come over here I will kill him." I threatened.
What shocked me the most was how Gregory kept walking, nervously avoiding my glares. I heard both Amelia and Canada gasp and mumble something, but I was too angry to hear what they said. "Can one of you two give me a ride home today?" I asked through my teeth.
"I will…" Canada said softly, "I have nothing to do after school." I nodded at her, but kept my eyes glued to the back of Gregory's head, "Thank you." I stormed off to my first period.
I avoided looking at Gregory during passing time and sat with Amelia and Canada at lunch. Gregory continued to text me through out the school day but I ignored him. "Have you spoken to him?" Amelia asked me. I stabbed my uneaten lunch, "Nope." I hissed.
"Are you going to talk to him?" Canada pressed as she picked at her food. "Later. If he—" There was a loud, obnoxious laugh that passed our table. It was Iona…and Gregory. Gregory looked miserable and nervous as he avoided my glare. Iona, on the other hand, looked at me and smiled, waving.
"Hey Leanna!" Iona hollered, not stopping to continue to talk. I was fuming, "She did NOT just call me Leanna." I hissed, breaking the fork that was originally stabbing my lunch. "She did." Amelia gasped, "Relax Leo!"
"I'm leaving." I hissed. I grabbed my tray before storming towards Iona and Gregory. I through my shoulder into Gregory's back as I tossed my lunch, tray included, into the trashcan. I heard him hiss in pain. "What's her deal?" Iona's annoying voice perky up, "That is rude. Are you still with her?"
I didn't listen for Gregory's answer. I pushed my way out of the cafeteria before storming out of the school completely. I stormed down the stairs, "LEONORA!" I heard Gregory shout. I didn't stop walking, "Stop it!"
I let out an angry sigh and slow down slightly for him to catch up. "I'm sorry!" He cried as he finally caught up to me. "Really? Why are you sorry?" I glared, not bothering to make eye contact with him.
"I shouldn't have done that. I felt bad that she didn't know anyone here. I honestly did not think you would be this upset about it." Gregory moved to try and hug me but I backed away. "Look at me…love, please" He begged.
"You didn't even talk to me when you where with her. I would have been better if you did not just walk right by me as if I wasn't your girlfriend anymore!" I howled as I glared at him.
"Please, stop crying!" Gregory begged, "Its my fault, I'm sorry." I touched my face; I hadn't realized I was crying. I furiously wiped away the tears, "Fix it then!" I yelled before walking away to walk home.
I didn't need to look back to know that Gregory was staring at me walking away. I didn't need to look back to know he wasn't about to chase me at the moment. I did know that if he didn't try to fix this, I would break up with him.
I want reviews…seriously because I NEED to hear if you guys like it. Thank you!
