I wake up, music still playing in my ears. I look at the time and see that the bus is going to be here in ten minutes. I get up, checking if Casey is in our room, which he's not. So I get changed, pack my bag, put it on and my shoes then rush downstairs. But, as I reach the last step, I stand still, in shock. Casey is standing there, in his uniform and back pack on.
"You're going to school?" I question.
"Well I've got to look after my little sister don't I?" he smiles.
"Yeah, and not look after, look out" I correct, "I can fight my own battles"
"Trust me I know. Come on let's head to the bus" Casey instructs.
I nod and we start walking together.
"I'm sorry that I yelled at you boys yesterday-"
"Don't apologise Will, we haven't been the best brothers lately and we know it. But we are going to do better, I promise" Casey states.
I just nod and then the bus arrives. I go to Matt and Seth and Case goes to sit with his mates.
"Casey's here?" Seth questions.
"Yeah, I sort of lashed out of my brothers yesterday. But, it looks like it worked" I chuckle.
"I heard something went down on the beach yesterday with the River Boys and Rivers Hell?" Matt asks intrigued.
"We fought, Joey kissed me" I admit.
"He what?" Seth shouts.
"He kissed me, forced me down. It's fine" I sigh.
"It's not fine. He the biggest prick I know, along side his prick brothers" Matt scoffs.
"I'm certainly not going to argue with that" I chuckle.
We arrive at school and all go to our lockers. When we get there, I can't help but hear people whispering about me. About how I 'made out' with Joey so I can leave the River Boys. Others saying that I kissed him because I like him or that I'm a slut cause I'm fifteen and he's eighteen. All bull shit that I'm surprised people even believe. I see a couple of girls walk towards me, so I stand tall and glare.
"You know Will, for a girl with a guys name, you're pretty much the biggest whore in the school" Chelsea chuckles.
"No, I think you come first on that list Chelsea" I smirk.
"You stupid bitch-" she hisses and is about to shove me, but Casey comes and stands next to me.
He's very intimidating. Especially to Chelsea, the girl who was completely in love with him but he turned down.
"Beat it" he glares.
Chelsea huffs and walks away with her posse.
"See you later" Casey smiles, then walks away.
"Wow, he's really trying" Seth notes.
"Yeah, he is" I smile nodding.
"Chelsea's such a bitch, I wish she was ugly" Matt groans.
Seth and I laugh as we all make our way to class. My phone dings when I sit down, I grab it and see that it's a text message from Brax.
- Danny's here, don't give him anything and come straight home -
"Fuck" I sigh quietly.
"What's up?" Matt asks.
"Danny's here" I explain.
"She's such a slut, honestly I don't even know why or how she's a River Boy or whatever. She probably just has sex with all the guys" a girl whispers behind me.
"She's the biggest whore, she's nothing like her brothers. They're strong and hot. She's pathetic and ugly-"
Before she can say anything else, I turn around and slap her across the face.
"Ms Braxton, principals office, now" I hear the teacher say behind me.
"Whatever" I respond and grab my stuff then storm out the door.
I go to the principals office, sitting in the waiting room outside. A couple of minutes later, Danny walks in. I stand up and glare at him.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I hiss quietly.
"That's no way to speak to your father Willa. I'm here because you got in trouble, I'm here to talk to your principal, because you messed up, yet again" he scoffs and the principal invites him in.
I sit down and wait for them to finish. When they do, Danny walks out and tells me to follow him. As soon as we get out of sight from the principal, he grabs my ear and drags me down the hallway until we are outside.
"You never fail to disappoint me Willa! You're suspend two days!" he yells.
He scoffs and glares at me, I stand and say nothing, but just glare back at him.
"Give me some money, and I'll leave"
"No, I'm not giving you anything" I snark, remembering what Brax said.
"Well then, your coming with me" he says and grabs my arm.
"No, I'm not" I try to resist, but he pulls me to him and glares into my eyes.
"Yes, you are" he glares.
He pulls me to his car and throws me into the back seat. He then gets in and we drive off. I hate him. I don't want to do this again.
