NovelEnglishI was still sat in the library even after the bell had went. I didn't want to go to maths, I didn't want to be here.
My mood had went from I've got this and I can do this to getout of here in the space of a morning. He had no right to show up here like that and what makes it worse is having Mr Gregg agree to it. He had everyone in his corner.
Packing away my stuff a coffee was placed next to me. Rocco taking the seat across from me.
"No sugar this tI promise".
He's another one I couldn't deal with today.
"Look I'm not in the mood for your bullshit today so can we please not". I pushed out my chair getting to my feet. "Wow". He held his hands up. "I cto apologise about the other week. I shouldn't have said what I did". "No you shouldn't have. I have to get to class". I placed my bag over my shoulder ready to leave.
"I really am sorry Leah. I don't want to cause trouble with you or him".
"It's fine". I sighed slumping back into the chair. Sparagraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this on .net. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. "It's not even noon and I can't be bothered with the rest of today". Taking a sip of the coffee he boughtI rubbed at my eyes. "I leave here in less than a month and do you know what, what's the point in actually finishing".
"I thought you were determined to graduate?".
"What for?" I huffed. "I didn't apply to any university around here and it's to late now". I didn't mention Yale because I still hadn't heard back.
"Study from home". He shrugged. "You can do online courses and still walk away with a few degrees under your belt".

"Can I ask you something and promise you won't go off on one?".
I pursed my lips. "If it's what I think it is then no. It's not something I want to talk about and not being rude but it's none of your business, in fact it's no one's business but mine". "Fair enough". He nodded. "So we cool?".
"We're cool so long as you keep your opinions to yourself".
"I promise". He smirked.
Rolling my eyes I bit back my smile. Okay so maybe he wasn't all bad. He did apologise after all. "I better get to class". My phone vibrated, I didn't need to look to see who was calling. "See you around beautiful".
"Bye Rocco". I looked down at my screen. Sure enough it was Jake. Sighing I swiped my screen bringing my phone to my ear.
"Don't hang up". He begged.
"I'm still at school Jake".
"I know". He sighed. "Can we meet once you finish?".
"I can't I have detention".
"Then after?".
I still wasn't ready for the conversation that needed to happen. He really hurtand now I knew how much I was falling for him. If it was anyone else I'd have blown them off by now. But not him, not Jake. Didn't he feel the same? Was this one sided? "Leah?".
"I don't know Jake".
"Please baby, we need to talk".
"We do but I'm not ready yet". Maths wasn't happening. I found myself outside by my car. Getting inside I dumped my bag on the passenger seat.
"Please just letsee you".
"Not yet". I whispered.
"Babe". He groaned.
"I have to go". I ended the call my emotions getting the better of me. It wasn't going to go away. The feelings I had for him were stronger than ever and I hated it.
No matter how angry I was at what he did I couldn't bring myself to hate him and trustI wanted to hate him. Wiping my eyes I jumped when there was a tap on my window. Mr Gallagher.
Great! I rolled my window down slightly. He was the last person I needed on my case today.
"Shouldn't you be in class Miss Wilson?".
"Heading there now sir". That was a lie. As soon as he went back inside I was leaving. I had decided the minute I got in my car that I didn't want to be here.

I was excited to cback today and he ruined that. He thought he could just takeout of school he and I would leave willingly with him. "Are you okay Leah?".
"Fine sir".
"You sure?".
"Yeah".
"Okay well I still expect to see you in my class at the end of the day".
"I'll be there".
"Good. I have a few things I want to discuss with you".
"Okay".
I was sat outside Starbucks with a cappuccino and a chocolate brownie. He said I had to be there by the end of the day and I would be.
I had texted Alanna and told her I skipped. I also told her what happened with Jake. The only reply I got back was I told you so.
If it wasn't for the bond we wouldn't even be together. My life would be very different. I'd be graduating school and heading off to Vale m .e. without a care in the world. I'd have been starting a new chapter in my life, making new memories. But no. I was stuck in a rut with nothing to do after graduation. I still hadn't worked a shift at the gas station, wasn't even sure I still had a job. Could I even call it a job?
It felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders. I still couldn't wrap my head around why he would hurtlike that. If I was meant to be the one he was going to spend the rest of his life with then why risk it? X
