...

I sat here bored out my mind. Shouldn't have covered Robbie's shift, I'm sure Eris would have jumped up to the task -her crushing on him would be enough incentive - would rather be having the much welcome lie-in instead.

"Hello welcome to Play & Learn how may I help? " I said as a lady comes up to my counter "I'll like to return this petal scooter" as she hold ups the box.

" The customer service counter is over their, they deal with returns" I say whilst pointing to the right as she walks of.

I look over to the doors as another customer walks in, I watch as the customer -teenager like me and very very cute to, with his wavy dark blonde hair falling over his crystal blue eyes, checkered Armani shorts hung on his waist with a pale green fitted Lacoste polo showing a well kept body underneath and white Henley's pump and a cute smile showing of his dimples on both sides- browsing the infant selection looking lost.

"Oh his back again" my co-worker Milli says walking around me " His definitely crushing on me and is too shy to say, I'll go assist him" and she walks of to flirt with him, pulling down the cami she's wearing under the open green employee uniform and showing of more cleavage then what would be legal.

I glance at the wall clock behind me and see that I've still got 20 minutes till my shift ends as I'll be off at three. With nothing better to do I watch Milli flirt. Milli's a second year collage student who is enjoying beer, sex and drugs more then she should and has a thing for younger guy's blonde-y better watch out. Curling her platinum blonde hair between her fingers she ups her game to touching his arms and lingering her hand their. Impressive his got her flustered, maybe he did come here for her, as his been here twice before in this past week, hm nope doubt it as I give him a once over, expensive taste in clothing definitely rich, another customer comes asking for assistance causing Milli to end her flirting as the cute guy comes up to my the check-out.

"Hey, mind if I ask you something" he says while placing his items before me".

"She's single" I say referring to Milli and begin scanning his item's "and she'll fuck on the first date".

"What" I nod over to Milli.

"That's not what I was gonna ask" he said as he glances at my name tag "Kisa but nice to know" as he stops me scanning the item's.

Great his probably going to think I'm jealous of her and a bitch to boot, when infact I'm just stating what I know and have heard her say.

"I'm Theodore Reynolds, call me Teddy, seems you don't like her".

Just her morals I mumbled under my breath but he heard causing him to chuckle, Milli choose to look over at me with sneer on her face at that moment which he also happens to see. Me and Milli had dated the same guy at the same time, me dating and her hooking up, with neither of us aware at the time but when I did find out I convinced Milli of him playing us as we had become friends while I started working here and I dumped the prick but then he went and ended it with Milli, I think he got what he wanted but this also ended the friendship we had made.

I shrugged and gave her the finger, " that answers my question" as I preceded to scan.

"Actually my niece turned five this week, you think this is a suitable present for her" Teddy asks looking down to the night light I have in my hand.

"This is more for newborns, it has the age range on it" I reply as I point to the 0+ months sign " so are these" as I look at the other item's.

''I was gonna get her a new night light but this is what I found"

''Try the kids night section, they should have some there" with a nod he walks off as Milli trails of after him.

Teddy return with his item's and walk back over to me as Milli pulls him over to her counter "I'll check that out for you" she says.

"I'll head over to Kisa, she's holding a few other item's of mine" said Teddy with a smile to her.

"Fairy lights?" I ask approving his choice while I finish bagging "that'll be $52.50"

"yeah, they'll go well with her room" I hand him his change.

"See you around Kisa, Milli" whilst walking out.

"His mine, so don't even try" said Milli as she turns to me, I give her the finger again. " Don't know what Bay saw in you, not when he had me" I put on my headphones to drown her out.

xx

I head over to my bike -my brothers bmx- which is chained to the rack and unlock my bmx I turn around to see who called me when I spot, Teddy coming over with a pretty brunette following behind her heels clicking away.

"Play along please " he whispers as his arm circles around my waist. I give him a what-the-fuck look.

"Hey sugar, was going to go look for you"

"hm" I hum not knowing what's going on.

"who's she" the brunette asks Teddy while grimacin at my choice of clothing, I look over at her very short floral summer dress -nice dress and she's definitely rich- and then over to my white longline vest with a horse running on it and my black leggings, nothing wrong with what I'm wearing.

"I was going to ask if you need a ride home Kisa" said Teddy ignoring rich girl's question.

"Heading over to the skate park to give my brother back his b-mer" I said shaking my head no.

"I'll come to, I still ain't met him" whilst leading me over to his car and away from the brunette.

"Who the hell are you" she screech's walking in front of me.

"Kisa" I state as she hadn't caught my already, it seems Teddy's using me as his fake girlfriend of sorts to get away from her. I don't think she's buying it.

"Teddy really, picking up any random girl and making her act as your girlfriend, as if I'd believe that, she's not your type at all" yup she's not buying it.

"Marissa leave me alone" Teddy interrupts.

"No we need to talk, I bet her name isn't even Kisa and look at her she ain't even pretty" I scoff at her knowing perfectly well that I'm not ugly, not that I'm big headed but I'm aware of my above average looks and hour glass figure.

"Teddy" I say cutting of what ever he was about to say and it looked like it wouldn't have been nice "how bout we take a rain check today, I mean you do have to give the gift we went and brought to your niece, right".

"Nah, my brother-in-law ain't back yet from his business trip, so their holding a party sometime next week, I'll head over with you" he said with a smile causing his dimples to show, while I nodded to my bike " it'll fit in my boot" knowing now Marissa had to believe our fake relationship, with the niece comment I had put in. Teddy went round to the back of his Subaru Impreza with my bike and placed it in the boot.

"You little slut, who the hell do you think you are going after my boyfriend like that, I bet those breasts you flashed him are fake" Marissa screeched at me.

"I can't afford implants and I'm all natural though you look like your in need of it".

"Gold digging whore"

"I work for a living, you should try it, might do you good"

"You fucking bitch, stay away from my boyfriend "

"Marissa! enough, leave" Teddy states coming back and takes my shoulder bag from me.

'' You use to call me Riss and tell her to stay away, your my boyfr-"

"Ex, we're over cause you cheated on me twice, once I could forgive but twice" Teddy said upset, I just stood there watching not knowing what to do.

"I- I didn't mean to it just happened, we'd been arguing and I was upset and Xavier was there and" Marissa said choking up.

"Leave" Teddy turned around to open the passenger door but Marissa had stepped inbetween.

"Move" Teddy growled out, I decided to step in and do something, with a hard tug to his sleeve we moved a few paces back, out of ear-shot from her.

"Look" I began " Just talk to her, otherwise she'll keep hounding and it'll get to much".

"Stay out of it, you don't know anything" he snapped at me.

"Hey, for someone who just did you a favor or tried, that's a lousy attitude to show" causing him to sigh.

"Sorry" I nod in acceptance to his apology.

"I'll summarize what I've found, you two dated, she cheated on you not once but twice and this Xavier guy is either a friend or foe, to make it hit harder".

"Friend"

"Ouch, just hear out what she's got to say and then if you don't like it, tell her to bugger off".

"British? bugger off?"

"For the first 12 years, British phrase meaning get lost piss off, whichever"

"I already know what she wants to tell me" said Teddy as he head's back over to her with me right behind.

"Talk" Demands Teddy.

"In private" said Marissa while glancing at me to leave, as I'm about to leave Teddy grabs hold of my hand an tells her to leave.

"I was lonely and jealous of Tasha, she had all your time and I felt left out I didn't know she was your brothers new wife, I thought she was stealing you away from me, so I kissed Xavier when he was drunk to make you jealous he thought I was Emily, I'm sorry so so sorry, can't we give it another go."

"No" Teddy says with a scowl.

" I'm pregnant" I look over to see Teddys reaction, he seemed to be expecting it.

"It's not mine." he states with venom coating his word's. Even if he is angry, I wouldn't expect him to deny it out right, their could be a possibility its his, I feel disappointed in him for some odd reason.

"Have you taken a test" I ask, she nods not moving her gaze from him " I'm two weeks late.

"Go tell the father, why bring it to me" a scowl still marring his face.

"You are " Marissa states with conviction causing Teddy to growl.

"The last time we had sex was when we at the beach party well over a month ago as you told me your monthly cycle will start soon, with the cramps you were having." Teddy growled out thru clenched teeth.

"No, at Gordon's party we" Marissa squeak's in.

"Gordon's party, nothing happened, you were completely wasted, you stripped gave a lap dance and then passed out before we could fuck, and I'm not a low life to touch my passed out girlfriend at the time when she wasn't awake to enjoy it. So with conviction I can say, its not mine." said Teddy with so much vemon placed in his words.

"Bugger off" Marissa ran of crying. felt kind of sorry for the girl. "You okay" I ask.

"come on I'll drop you" he says once he had composed himself.

"It's fine you don't need to, she's gone now" I tell him.

"I said I would besides I've already placed your bike in the boot" as he holds open the door to his silver Subaru Impreza, I get in and so does he and reverses out the mall's parking lot.

xx

I thank Teddy as he takes out my bike, I got on and pedal of to the skate park looking for my brother, not seeing him I pull out my phone and ring him.

"yeah key, you er' yet"

"Yes actually I am, where be you Tape and speak proper English moron"

"beta than you's que'en lingo, at da tunnels "

"whatever I'll be right over, where be Hack"

"roun' er sum er' " Tape finishes as he hangs up, that slang of his gets annoying.

As I head over to him, I spot Tape coming down the ramp on his friend Crisp's board. I hand Crisp the bike and ask if he's seen Hack, he tells me to check out the field's and I head of in search of him.

Once satisfied Hack is where he should be I head over to the bench Teddy is on which has a view of the parks fields and a view of Hack playing American football.

"what'cha still doing here" I ask taking a seat beside him. He shrugs "thinking, brother?'' looking over at Hack.

"Yup" I say popping the p.

"You alright" I ask gazing at the jogger who passes by us.

"I loved her, still do I think" said Teddy placing his head in his hands and elbows on knees. "You got a boyfriend."

"Don't even think about it mister, I'm not gonna be used as means to get over some, got it buster, do one favour an they thing they can ask for more geez " I state as he lifts his head and places his chin on his interlaced fingers.

"Just asking, your a gorgeous girl, wasn't implying anything, was trying to get my mind of Marissa"

"Oh" now I feel bad.

"Buster! Buggar off, you still have your British accent" Teddy says with a smile braking lose.

"How come you moved over here" he asks.

"mum got married" though I wasn't pleased with the move as I've bearly made any friends, I have few a but they rarely include me for stuff outside of school. which makes them pretty shitty friends. Apart from Lola though she's been busy with new her boyfriend this summer brake. "you don't sound pleased " Teddy asks finding the frustration I seeped into the words.

"Don't like your new dad" he asks head tilted my way.

"Nah he be fine" I say " he be huh, loving your words " causing me to smile along with him.

"Then"

" I had to leave everything behind, family, friends, my whole life, do you know how hard it is to start over, lemme tell you it ain't easy and my accent didn't help."

"I like your accent, just you and your brother"

"Yeah, three of them, Tape, Hack and Chaos and you"

"Nice name's, actual?" Teddy asks with a twinkle in his eye.

"Tape 15 short for Tapen, Hack 13 names Tafe we call him Hack cos he can hack out cheats on ps2 an 3 and xbox without using the net, Chaos his the youngest at 8 name's Talent, his the opposite off chaos, his calm and collected, we usually ask him to come create chaos."

"I've got three sisters and one brother, four elder one younger, Mallory 24 daughter Peach, twins Penelope and Peter 21 and Vivian 15, nick names, Lory, Pea, Penny, P and Vivi, what school do you go."

"Dayva high, I'm working class."

"Redwood Academy, my parents own a business" he says whilst awaiting my input.

"You could just say your rich, its not like I can't tell, designer clothes, expensive watch, the car, you have to be blind not to notice" I said as he rubs the back of his neck. "Right wasn't trying to rub it in."

"No worries I know" as I watch Hack join a bunch of guy's about to play football/soccer " let's exchange numbers" I look up at him taking my eyes of Hack "why."

"I like you" I raise my eyebrows at this well my poor attempt of it but I'm sure he gets the gesture "liked talking to you, maybe we could hang "

"mate's " I ask, he smiles at my wording, " yup as mate's, I've been avoiding my friend's since breaks started so maybe we could do something if your free"

"alright, that be fine with me, my so called friends have been ignoring me since summer break started, so I've been asking for more shifts." I tell him as I take out my phone.

"I'll save you as teddy bear" what I like bears " then i'll save you as kiss" I just smile at him as I see Hack walking up to us.

"Hey Key we need more people for football, you want in? " Hack asks as he glances at me then Teddy. "Sure, Teddy- Hack " as I gesture to Teddy and then back to Hack.

" Hack- Teddy" I say finishing the introductions as they shake hands.

"Wanna join" Hack asks Teddy who nods.

ooo

The last three weeks of summer break just flew by with work and spending most day with Teddy hanging out just as he's still avoiding his friends. I guess when I gave him my number I hadn't thought much about, after the game of soccer with Hack, which Teddy was quite good at I did hear from him the following day, but we didn't do anything. I guess what hit our friendship of was when I got in some trouble and had no one to turn to and his number was a last resort as all my other so called friends weren't going to be much help.

"Mum me and Kisa are heading over to Mel's now, bye" Lola said dragging me out.

"Lo, I thought we were hanging out, as I ain't seen you much this summer" I said as Lola drove us.

"We are at Mel's, ain't seen her since school out either, so she's having a party to make it easier" said Lola getting out and walking in thru the front door, party's already started as I wall past a drunk couple making out heavily " look theirs Jimmy" as Lola runs of to lip lock him.

"Hey Mel, how you been" I say walking up to her '' could of made an effort, you knew I was having a party'' I shrug as she walks of, nothing wrong with my grey cami and white linen trousers, I had taken Chaos to the park earlier for a game of basketball then popped straight over to Lola's. I've been here for over and hour when Jimmy walks out to the backyard towards me where I had taken refuge, it was way to loud and humid inside, "Hey Kisa we should hook up sometime cos your gorgeous " he slurred with a arm over my shoulder "no thanks, your dating my friend, so stick to her'' I say taking a step back away from him as his arm falls of me, something about him have me an uneasy feeling. "you sure, I could change your mind " he said walking towards me as I walk back hitting my back against the wall, his muscular arms placed on either side trapping me in "this ain't funny" I say panic seeping into my voice, I push of one off his arms and make a run for it but for a drunk his quite fast as he slams me back against the wall pressing his lips onto me, I tug on his hair to pull his face off with my other arm pushing at his chest with as much force as possible. I bite down on his lips as he tries to seek entrance causing him to falter, I yank his head back and scream for help. Enraged Jimmy slams my head hard against the wall making me black out for a second, with him pressed up against me trailing kisses down my neck, I could hear my heart pounding in my ears my mind blank as to what I should do whilst his hands went under my shirt bringing me out my daze I knee'd him in the groin or tried to as I could barely move with him molding onto me, with a head butt to his face made him halt for a second "bitch'' he stated with a snap he'd ripped the strap of my cami, panic welled up into to me, my breathing laboured.

"What are you doing" Lola demanded coming out of nowhere pulling Jimmy of me, I slid down along the wall sitting on my heels causing me to sigh in relief, as I brought up my right hand shakily to hold my cami up and get my heartbeat to calm down, I couldn't hear much of what was being said as the blood pounded to my head whilst waiting for my vision to clear up.I think I'm in shock. Lola comes up pulling me on to my feet.

"I can't believe you tried to throw your self at Jimmy, you bitch " she said drunk whilst swaying on her feet.

"I-we- I didn't he forced himself on me, I said no but-" I stuttered out.

With a slap to my face "stay away from us you slut" Lola said stumbling of with Jimmy.

Once I'd reached the end of the street my legs gave out as I sat their at the edge of the pavement, trying to keep as much distance I could manage from Mel's place, I took out my mobile with shaky finger, it took me three tries to dial his number, my hands shook as I placed the phone on my ear as it continued to ring. Panic once again rose up in me as I continued dialing Tape, spotting Teddy's name right under Tapes I tried him as a last resort, not expecting him to answer, when he did after two rings.

"Finally decide to call, I thought I'd be the only one initiating the calls "

"Hello, Te-Teddy can you please come pi-pick me up" I said with a shaky breath causeing it to crack up, my throat felt dry as I could feel a sob coming.

"Kisa where are you, are you hurt'' he asked I told him the address and 15 minutes later he pull up. With one look at me he demand who did this, I ask him to take me home, which he does.

And since then we've been close I see him as my Procter of sorts as he glare's at any guy perving on me, and he's taken the role of a big brother literally, he's been staying over for the past two week's bunking with Chaos, they seemed to have hit it of quite well and only been home twice, once for a bag of clothes and then his mum called him over for dinner. I think his staying away so he doesn't get cornered by his friend's whom of which he's known since pre-school but Teddy says his not ready yet to hear the truth about Marissa cheating ways. I just don't think he's ready to forgive them.

"My flight just got called, you guys be good and listen to Kisa ok" mum said giving us all a hug, " Teddy at least pop in at home once in awhile to let your mum know you ain't disappeared," "of course Mrs Samuel's."

We watch mum board her flight, grand-dad's health deteriorated. "Bathroom" Chaos states, I walk of with him on search of one, Hack follows as Teddy and Tape head up to bring the car put to the front of the airport. I lean up opposite the door to the men's room as Chaos heads in as someone heads out.

"This is the men's room, if you can't tell by the sign" the brunette states waking past with his carry case rolling behind him, with a nod to the the sign "if your done oggling me, women's are over there " he continues with a scowl marring his face and a glare directed my way.

"I know that idiot, I is waiting for my brother you prick" I scowl back, his attitude annoyed me, he might be absolutely georgous,with his dark drown hair with streaks of light blue mixed in giving it an icy look, right eyebrow pierced an ears as well, nice toned athlete's body, baggy jeans hung low on his hips showing his Ralph Lauren boxers, with a fitted shirt hinting well kept abb's, pale green eyes, he is hott and he knows it, doesn't mean he can be an ass about it.

"It seems you need lessons on the English language and etiquette, I is, isn't the correct wording nor is name calling'' he state's with a smirk. Grr god he's rude.

"I'll speak however damn well I please you muppet and you should be the one to get lessons on tact and friendliness especially with the dirty's your giving me and I've seen better " I said causing him to raise his pierced eyebrow with his smirk still in play.

Chaos rushes out towards me "Key, theirs these two guy's in there at the back who dragged of the cleaning lady into one of the stools and she's screaming for help" he finishes in one go. Rude guy -as I have named him- runs in to check not before calling out to get help.

"Chaos go find security" he runs off as I go into to check, I see rude guy holding his own against the two thugs, I run over to the women and pull her away, watching him punch thug 1 as thug 2 slams into him, I get up to help grabbing the mop at the back an whack it at thug 2 as he takes on thug 1 this causes thug 2 to start on me, I duck out under his reach adrenaline pumping thru me as he manages to grab my hair pulling me towards him, rude guy sees this and give him a kick to the back of his leg from behind, making him let go as he buckles whilst the lady just sobs behind me, I give a hard kick between his legs making him fall over, ouch that gotta hurt. Whilst helping me with thug 2 rude guy got jumped by thug 1 who now had him in a choke hold, I jump on the back of thug 1 pull at his face making him release him as he takes an easy breath, thug 1 tries to shake me lose, no go buster, he pulls me of slinging me off as I slide along into one of the toilet stools hitting my shoulder really hard. Shit shit shit it bloody kills, I think I broke my shoulder. Next thing I know, security walks in restraining thug 2 as Chaos and Hack walk in behind and rude guy pinning down thug 1. Security handles the rest as we walk out, Hack asking if I'm alright, I tell him I hit my shoulder as Chaos is awe'd by rude guy taking the thugs down. I get pulled to side by rude guy telling Chaos & Hack to head on expecting him to thank me for helping.

"What the fuck were you thinking getting involved like that, you just caused more trouble, I was doing fine till you jumped in " he sneered out eyeing my shoulder "think your injured act is going to work on me, its probably just a bruise, girls like you cry over broken nails."

"You bastard I was trying to help, I was in the same situation a few weeks back with no one to help, so I know what's it like and my shoulder really fucking hurts" I said blinking away the tears that gathered in my eyes, walking of " and I've never had my nails done so go drown yourself in a toilet."

ooo

Teddy drives me and Hack to Redwood Academy as we dropped Chaos of beforehand, Tape getting his own ride. Last week all students from Dayva high received a letter stating other arrangements are being made as the schools furnace exploded doing quite a lot of damage to the school, making it in-useable, a few days later we received a letter saying well be attending Redwood me and Hack that is. Tape allocated to Norton Academy. Once Teddy had lead as to the office for our schedules we head to the school assembly whilst walking along side Teddy I see quite a few Redwood girls scowl my way.

''Teddy's popular, look at all the dirty's your getting" Hack whispers over to me as Teddy stops to chat.

"Where'd Hack go" Teddy ask turning to me" saw a classmate gonna bring him along, doubt he knows the way to the assembly hall " I say pointing over my slinged shoulder, its seems I had dislocated it, that would explain the pain I was in at the time, Teddy just nods and walks over to the notice board where a table is placed up against it and gets up on it, with clap of his hand he gets the attention of most the student hanging around the hall's " All Dayva high students I'm headed to the assembly hall, follow on behind me if you don't want to get lost! Hack give me back my iPhone " Teddy shouts out getting down from the tabels and making his way over, as almost everyone follows on behind him.

The assembly just stated the situation of our school and well be here for the reminder of the year, with a few odd announcements here there. I take a look around spotting people I know, I saw Lola and Mel, Teddy's ex Marissa, Craig and Karma from my home room, Lucinda my lab partner for science, Esmerelda -Hacks crush quite a few people I know and a few faces I've seen around in school, I glance around at Redwood students most of which are trust fund babies or families with businesses booming to be attending here, as its private and fees are quite taxing, wonder why they took as in, maybe it'll be good publicity. I text Teddy of how we got in.

+ asked dad, he knows the school board +

+why? +

+ wanted to ;) +

+ talk to them, and I want you made up by the end of today...or you won't be coming over for spaghetti tonight :x

xx

I walk over to Hack during lunch. " where's Teddy, how's the shoulder " he asks scanning the mass hall for him.

"Making up with his friends hopefully, fine " I reply " got someone to sit with " I continue, he nods to confirm " shared a few classes with them back at Dayva, this place is posh right, what bout you."

" I'm gonna take look around, you head of'' I said.

"You sure, saw Lola around" I shake my head no " hey I saw that guy from the airport, you know the one who knocked down that thug, he goes here." I walk of with a wave of my left hand. Just came to check Hack was fine at lunch, this place could overwhelm you. Three more lessons and schools out, morning classes have been hell with Lola and Mel telling everyone what a cheating slut I am, its seems Mel's already found her way with the popular sporty girls, and them spreading lies about me have spread like wildfire as a few girls of redwood had glared at me walking beside Teddy warned me of. I hate high school.

...

Second period barely started and already I want the day to end from a few bitchy comments aimed my from Mel and Lola. Teddy hadn't come over last night or this morning so me an Hack had to make out our own way causing us to be five minutes late. I'm guessing he made up the the guys, I should be happy but I feel lost for some reason.

At recess I ring Teddy to ask if his alright and made up yet, 'yes' he told me, 'got drunk celebrating and was too hangover this morning to come but will try and make by lunch if not then tomorrow,' as I head over to third as the bell should be ring soon Marissa comes up to me with a few girls, two which are cheerleader "Teddy's mine, we've been together for two year's, I won't let you have him."

" You should watch her" Mel walks up pointing to me with Lola behind "she went and slept with her friends boyfriend ." she continued with a sneer my way. I just walked of showing them the finger.

By lunch time I got quite a lot of sneer and dirty looks, its seems Teddy's not just popular but one of the famous five, and him and Marissa were the golden couple as they had a steady relationship for the past two years, from what I've gathered well more like spewed into my face since third period and all the way to lunch, I'm the bitch who seduced Teddy and tore them apart. As I go over to the lunch Que people pointedly stare and gossip not even trying to be subtle, I've never felt this self-conscious before, it's hitting my self-esteem hard. As I walk out with lunch, I get rammed from behind from Mel knocking out my sandwich and drink from my hand causing the students around me to laugh, I will not cry infront of them I repeat over and over in my head, Mel walks over to Marissa and her crew who begin spewing insults again. I bend down to pick up my food as see someone already has it in hand. I look over at the spiked raven haired guy with a nice muscular build and baggy black combats with dozen of pocket and thin white hoodie, I notice the whole hall has fell silent.

"Here" he says handing my food to me as I try blinking away my tears.

"Your s'pose to reach your hand forward and grab it" I turn around to the source of the voice behind me and see a strawberry blonde dressed in black skinny jeans with a lose striped sleeveless vest molded onto him showing of his slim figure and another face identical to his beside him with the same hair and black ripped skinny jeans with a guns and roses t-shirt on.

"How's your arm" I turn back around recognising rude guy's voice and their he is standing next to the raven haired guy with my lunch still in hand, it seems he dyed the rest of his hair icy blue, instead of the few high lights I saw before, still showing of his boxers with his jeans hung on his hips ck boxers this time with a leather jacket on too.

"Dislocated "he asks with no scowl this time taking in my tear-y eyed look as I glare up to him '' Piss-off ass-hole" I said with a glare and walked off as one girl dressed in a skimpy out screeched out to me "omg you can't say that to him you bitch " I just gave her my famous finger and continued on out.

The rest of the day get even worse from people tripping me to ramming, by the end of the day my shoulder was aching. Once home Hack told me not to go in tomorrow and Teddy came over once he had heard the gossip and boy was he livid, I hushed Hack from telling him about the tripping and shoving.

xx

Next day as I got out of Teddy's Subaru Impreza the student's gaze landed on me seeming to confirm I was the home-wrecker from what Marissa had spread around. I manged to convince Teddy I'm fine as he wanted to walk me to first, Hack had walked off spotting his group of friends, Teddy reluctantly left in search of Marissa to clear up this whole mess.

By second period I was shoved so hard landing my shoulder against the lockers and banging my head along too, I slid down and sat their in pain as my shoulder just throbbed painfully every movement caused pain to shoot out and waited for the black spots I kept seeing to clear, the halls had been cleared out as every student was in their second period, a few latee's walked by ignoring me. a few moments later someone else walks on by, not bothering to look up knowing they'll just ignore me and my head still dizzy, the said person walks up in front me and crouchs down, I blink a few times clearing my vision and notice it's rude guy - I snap at him " what" I hiss " come to call me pathetic" he looks over at my right shoulder at my slinged arm being clutched with my left.

" Does it hurt " he asks softening his features.

"No, I just like clutching it and remaining still like statue as a hobby " I spit out sarcastically, causing him to raise his pierced eyebrow at me.

"Come on I'll take you to the medical bay" he said reaching over to pull me up me by my left arm, I let out a string of curses making him halt.

"Go away" I whine angry tears gathering up "leave me alone, piss off " hoping he don't notice the tremor in my voice as my vision blurs. I feel so frustrated why won't you leave so I can cry in piece. He places one hand under my knees and the other around my back lifting me up in one go, causing me to cry out from pain as I'm jostled. He walks of to the medical bay, the nurse there tell him I should head to the hospital, giving me a pain killer in the mean time.

"what are you doing?, put me down I can walk fine, its my shoulder that kills you prick" I state whilst he walks out towards the parking lot squinting to get rid of the spots I keep seeing.

"Taking you to the hospital" he replies.

''Why? " I ask " put me down, you must be tired." the pain-killer seems to be taking effect or maybe I'm getting use to the pain.

"So I can miss the rest of my classes and your pretty light what do you weigh 6 stone." walking up to his grey Aston Martin.

" 7 and a half actually and you don't seem like the type who needs an excuse to bunk, your more of the do as you please fuck consequences " I said causing him to smirk, he stands me up whilst he searches for his keys, I begin swaying on my feet as soon as he release me he reaches over to steady me and unlocking his door too in one go.

" Your dizzy, did you hit your head as well when they pushed you" he asks helping me in to the car. "They've been doing it since yesterday, only got more aggressive as today you arrived with Teddy" he concludes as he drives of.

After three hours of waiting, we finally get called in. It seemed I had gone into shock my body felt cold and the whole of my right arm was numb, I had to have my shoulder reset as it had popped out, it was much more painful the second time around, the knock on my had left me dizzy but it should clear up leaving a killer headaches in its wake. At around half 1 Teddy walked, he had rang when I was in the waiting. Rude guy had been with me the entire time, for someone so mean it was a pretty nice thing to do, I think he could see I was overwhelmed so he stayed with me leanding some moral support, which I appreciated not that I'll tell him that.

ooo

I had taken the next two days of giving my shoulder a well needed rest but all so getting away from the jeers and headed to school on Friday, Teddy had taken the role of bodyguard walking me to and from my classes and glaring at anyone tried crossing our paths for some one so cute looking I'm surprised he managed the icy look so well, with Teddy sticking with me I barely had any problems except the few odd comment during lessons. When lunch rolled around I told Teddy he should go join his friend's but stuck to me which secretly pleased me cause I don't think I could handle lunch by myself.

During fourth I had gotten a text from Teddy saying he got suspended, 'me and Hack will find a ride home' I texted back. Though all throughout the lesson I fretted what he did, knowing I was the cause of this some.

Heading into fifth period performing arts, where all classes are combined for every year group, I spotted rude guy, with the blonde twins and the raven haired dude I head encountered at lunch on Tuesday sitting at the back seats which are situated around the room in a semi circle, I decided to take a seat far away from them as possible as they kept looking over every once in awhile apart from one of the twins who seemed to napping, eyes closed head back feet propped up on the chair in front which he'd turned around, the other twin had gone and went over to a group of girls an began making out with one of then -player-. News of Teddy suspension had spread and it seemed I was the cause some how when I wasn't even there .

"Your low, first my jimmy then Marissa's Teddy, who next Kayla's Stan. "Lola had said coming over to sit beside, Mel following behind.

"Hey Kayla she's after your Stan now, better watch her! " Mel shouted over to one of the cheerleader who hangs around with Marissa, causing a few of the guys to hollar and wolf whistle. Kayla stomped over to me with Marissa in tow '' Omg like stay away from my Stan like you hear or else I'll hit you with my green Prada heels like they'll do a lot of damage" for a leggy blonde her squeaky voice didn't match but she did put to justice the term dumb blonde. Marissa pushed her over and butt in.

" You got Teddy suspended and now you wanna sink your claws into her man, god your a slut, you better keep does legs closed or I'll break that other arm of yours" Marissa threatened as Kayla nodded, a few girls applauded her with an added ' you go girl', 'i'll help' and ' stay away from my boyfriend'.

"Dislocated, moron " I said.

" What ?'' Marissa asked.

"My shoulder it's dislocated not broken, ironing board " I stated adding in any insult I could get, as she'd spewed enough at me, I noticed player blonde-y choke back a laugh at our conversion.

" What are you on about bitch"

"You'll have to dislocate not break, those are two different things idiot, with two separate meanings, see dislocation means my shoulder popped out it socket not Breaking and break mean to snap or break, clear enough for you bum-licker "

''I know what dislocated and break me-"

"Good I'm glad my explanation helped your hollow little head, next time you threaten someone, get your wording correct otherwise it won't be effective" I tell her with a patronizing smile on my face. Me embarrassing Marissa as a few people laughed when I had cut her off seemed have made her snap as she grabbed a handful of my wavy waist length black hair and pulled me up onto my feet. Player blonde-y had come and stepped in grabbing Marissa hand and releasing my hair.

"Disappear Marissa " he'd said and then leaned in an whispered " Your the one who needs to keep your legs closed." as she had scurried of, as with the people around, players blonde-y had returned back to his original seat with rude guy gazing at me with a hard to read expression softening as my gaze connected with his.

The teacher had demanded attention and began explaining some play we would be creating and performing at the end of term incorporating other arts along side, such as music, art and drama, I had zoned out until player blonde-y had come over asking if I wanted to join their group, I shook my head no an walked of, not paying attention to his introduction.

I walked of in-search of a group to join, one of the jock's going by his lettermen jacket smacked my ass -creep- as I walked by high fiving his friends who pounded his back. I went over to a scrawny looking guy with glasses and helped him pack his messenger bag which someone had dumped on the floor.

" Hey you watch anime cool, so do I" I said seeing his anime magazine. He just nodded " I'm Kisa"

"Gavin" he mumbled and thanking me and walked over to whoever called him. Not finding a group I went over to Mr Cape who placed me into any random one, once brainstorming had finished we had rest of the time free, I went over to the stage looking around the previous sets laid out. Looking over at rude guy and his friends I realized their were quite popular especially with all the girls around or looking over at them and a few other guys chatting along with them. Mel and Lola were crowding around, as Marissa stayed away after that comment from player blonde-y with a pout at him and a sneer my way when she caught my eye, Lola was attempting to flirt with player blonde-y along side three other girls who had situated on the front steps leading to the stage, Raven dude was engaged in conversion with a few guys, sleeping blonde-y was laid out napping on some girls lap and Rude guy was beside him with a smirk on his face talking to African looking guy with braided hair over around to his nape, Mel and a few other girls were trying their luck with rude guy who had gotten a scowl on his face as they appeared - braided guy didn't seem to mind much more like he was quite pleased it- as he looked over at me again his scowl had disappeared, I turned around continuing my exploring heading to the dressing rooms.

"Heard you want a round with me?" asks some guy coming up to me " how bout we head over to the prop room, its roomy enough" feeling apprehensive I try walking away but another walks up blocking my path "Once your done Stan gimme a go" and tells Stan looking at me. Gavin walks in making an excuse ' the costume room's over there ' and pulls me out as I breath a sigh of release and try to get my heart rate to settle again as I hadn't realised it picked up.

"Be careful around them, their persistent" Gavin warns.

"Thank you, you shouldn't be around otherwise they'll start picking on you " I said making sure he don't get sucked in, he would be an easy Target for their bullying.

With a nod he walks of not before saying " I don't believe it you know, unless you say otherwise ." bring a smile to my face making the load on me feel slightly lighter. Watching Gavin disappear I see rude guy emerge talking on his phone. Locking eyes with me causes my smile to dim, ever since he took me to get my shoulder looked at I've been getting a fluttering in my stomach and since then he hasn't looked mean and menacing since the first time we met. I so have a crush on him -in not one of those people who deny their feeling, I think I may like him but I ain't going to go tell him, nope owning up to my feelings I can do but tell him 'pss as if- who wouldn't his absolutely gorgeous, definitely can see why most want him. I walk of to check out the costume room and make the flutter-y feeling settle. Once in I hadn't realized so called Stan had come in behind me until he stood behind with a hand on my shoulder.

" How bout a quickie like the ones you've given Teddy " he said causing a scream to let lose as he made me jump in fright and drop the costume I was holding. I turned around and backed up away from him in my haste knocking over the costume box.

"Woah woah woah, calm down I was only messing with you" Stan said holding up his hand in a surrender gesture. It seems the panicked and frightened look on my face must have made him retreat whilst he tried to pacify me.

"What the fuck is going on? " rude guy exclaimed walking over to me, probably coming to investigate as he was near by. With a fierce look he shoved Stan away and turned to me.

"You hurt? what happened?" he asked his features softening as a look of worry passed on his face. I just shook a no to the hurt question and got behind him as my left hand went to clutch his right arm he noticed it shook before it settled. Turning to Stan.

"What the fuck did you do " rude guy growled out venomous-ly.

"Nothing man, honest, was just messing with her, didn't expect her to freak like that" Stan said looking at me. Rude guy looks over doubt etched on his face as I nod to confirm his story.

"Sorry" Stan says whilst all but dashing out.

"Did he do anything. " he asked features serious.

"No, he -i erm I just freaked" I said getting tongue tied.

He nodded as his expression turned hard. " Every time I see you, you need saving, your a magnet for trouble "

"No I'm not, I don't " I state, he just raises his pierced eyebrow and drawls out "right " looking patronizing.

"What do you call this, your not even aware of the danger you put yourself in, do you." he finishes of saying with anger evident in his tone "or the people around you."

" I was trying to help'' I said knowing his referring to the men's room incident. " And I didn't ask you get involved, pretend you can't see me, it'll be easier to ignore me."

I walk out stating " I don't need saving you muppet."

xx

Walking up to the grey Aston Martin with Hack in tow, who let's out 'sweet ride ' where rude guy and raven dude are conserving but halt as we approving. With his pierced eyebrow raised conveying the silent 'what '.

"We be needing a ride to Teddy's " I state gesturing towards me and Hack whom of which is inspecting the Martin.

"Why pray-tell should I, I am not a chauffeur, its seems your speech still need fixing " he drawled out. Raven dude just watched on in interest.

'' Nah, Key talks like that all the time, likes being different besides you should have heard her speaking street, that was classic, its a habit now" Hack butted in, as I gave him a whack to the back of his head indicating shut up causing a smirk to appear on rude guys face.

"Look rude guy" I start.

"Rude guy?" raven dude ask as his lips twice in amusement.

"Yeah my nickname for him, you know cos I don't know his name, and he be rude since the first time I met him" I answer with a gesture towards rude guy.

"Do I have a nickname too?" raven dude asks. I nod " raven dude."

"Very original " rude guy says sarcastically with a scoff.

"Thanks" I reply in the some sarcastic tone.

"Look I bet your going to see Teddy as am, so let's go together and if you want we can drop Hack home on the way. " I said trying to lee-way in. I turn to raven dude " I'm Teddy's friend, he be Teddy's friend " as I point to rude guy " that means you is also a friend of Teddy's " raven dude nods in confirmation " and you be the friends he avoided cos you were chicken shit to tell him the truth, and one of you be hooking the ex" I concluded give the both a once over.

"Nope, not you guy's, he be menacing " I said as I nod at rude guy who is patiently listening with his pierced brow up. " Don't seem like the type " whilst looking at raven dude " must be the blonde-y twins, most likely player blonde-y as napping blonde-y seems lazy." I finish.

"Interesting conclusion" rude guy said walking around his Aston Martin to the drivers side," you coming." brow raised.

"Come on kid, i'll take you home " raven dude said turning to Hack.

ooo

Seven days was what Teddy got his suspension for, so his due back tomorrow as today being Sunday. Me and Rude guy who's name I found out to be Vale not that I asked you mind you, just heard Teddy calling him that had been having a civil relationship this past week with no Teddy around, not like we were hanging or anything just more comfortable to be around, the jeering and sneering wasn't that bad until Thursday as I had ask raven dude for a lift to Teddy's Wednesday after classes ended, who happens to be known as Orsino or Sino for short, Gossip spread of me now moving on to Sino. So I had Taken refugee in the libraries hidden corners out of view from most my peers, that was were I spotted Vale with a student intern getting heavy pretty quick, with a 'excuse me ' I had placed the books the librarian had given me and walkedof , feeling crushed, it seem my crush had turned into a full blown like as I decided to have cry-fest party for one once I was home, all day Friday I had avoided him and on Saturday I barely spoke two words to him trying my best to stay away in a form of getting over him as Teddy had decided all his friends should all get to know one another by inviting me over to hangout with them. Gavin had been nice enough to partner up with me in classes as we had the same schedule -had encountered some bullying whilst being see with me- but he was turning out to be a nice friend with the few similar interests we shared and had even come out to join me for lunch on Friday - whilst avoiding Vale, the library option was cut-.

I'm heading of to Pulse tonight - quite a popular club were all the teens hit- with Gavin as his pseudo date, his cousin is holding his 19th there and he was told to bring a date. From what Gavin said they don't expect him to have a date unless its hired out. We'll show them as I put on black short jean-shorts with black fish-net 3 quarters underneath, black backless halter top with my stomach piercing peaking out, purple pumps and my hair straightened pin straight, adding a smokey eyed look and a bit of blush I grab my mobile and some cash, and stuff them in my shorts and head of to Gavin's car, make him gob-smacked. Looking over I take in his appearance, he's quite cute with the geeky look, small slim build, curly honey brown hair coming short of his eyes black rimmed glasses, black levi jeans grey polo, looks quite cute nice style, suits him. Once entered we head for the VIP room, its seems the night was going well, I was enjoying it so far, had a couple of dances.

I sat at the bar with my lime coke looking around noticing quite a few Redwood-er here.

" Hey, we met before, your to gorgeous to forget " said braid guy from my arts class as the music quieted for a minute as a change of track insured. "I'm Gordon "

"I go Redwood now" I say as another girl begins her flirting with him.

"What are you doing here by yourself." Teddy shouts over the music and drags me up to another VIP lounge.

"Explain, what the hell are you doing here all by yourself and what are you wearing." Teddy shouts pissed of causing all the occupants to cease and watch.

"Out with friends, you don't like " I said simply, not sure what he's so angry about.

"You don't have any friends apart from me and no I don't like" I gasp trying not to show the hurt on my face but he still catches it. ''Look that's not what I meant, i- sorry" he started trying to amend the damage.

"Leave her Teddy she's a slut, everybody knows, found someone new already " some girl said sitting on the couches with a sneer my way.

"Shut the fuck up, I didn't ask your opinion, your only her for a quick fuck, which make the definition of slut more to you, shut up or piss of " Teddy barks out leaving everyone stunned and the poor girl in tears.

''That was harsh even for you, Marissa cheated and you've become cynical, get over her. And apologize to her that was plain rude" I stated with a nod to the crying girl as I walk out.

Having a few dances with random strangers, hoping I could erase or forget the the image I saw up in the VIP lounge of the student intern wrapped around Vale's arm. Sino cuts in as I have few dances I nod to Gavin who's gotten himself a pretty red had in little black dress as a dance partner, after a few dances Sino leads up to one of the smaller rooms where teddy is awaiting my arrival.

"I'm sorry" Teddy said pacing back and forth " I got worried once I saw you here by yourself, especially after the last party you went to" I stood their listening with a scowl marring my face " I'm sorry about the no friends comment, that was low even for me."

"Yes it was, just because all my previous mates turned out to be cunts doesn't mean I can't make other friends apart from you " I rant with a glare at him.

"And you know what, you've been a shitty friend, yeah I practically forced you to make up with them as their your childhood friends but it didn't mean you could forget about us, I've been coming over to see you, not you me and on some level I actually expected it too. '' I said trying to swallow back the lump in my throat.

''He hasn't been out with us all the time, only yesterday we all got together, let him finish speaking " Vale said leaning beside the open door frame.

"Did you hear me ask you, Piss off back to your girlfriend '' I spat anger-ly.

"Not my girlfriend " He replies calmly.

"Fuck buddy then, don't flaunt your disgusting relationship in my face " I growl heavily. As the twins walk in of whom I was introduced to yesterday " jealous " Xander asks me who I had named player blonde-y "seems like, from the way your behaving" Xavier finishes or napping blonde-y.

" Nope, an ex flame wanting a more " Vale replies.

"Whatever " I say walking out as Vale grabs a hold of good arm halting me. " His not finished " nodding over at Teddy.

''It's a dangerous place to come by yourself, especially a hot girl like you, and what your wearing practically screams take me, which I'm sure more then a dozen of guys are thinking about, who'd you come with, if you'd have told me I would have come with to keep an eye on you "

Teddy said reasoning with me. I nod "Gavin, go back to enjoying your night, I can take care of myself" I yank my arm out of Vale's hold " go back to your fuck buddy, asshole." and walk of in search of Gavin.

ooo

The following few days I spent avoiding Teddy at school time, after the spat we had and Vale also as I couldn't get him out my head. More rumours circulated about me now doing as many guys as I can as I was spotted in Pulse. The sobbing girl that Teddy chewed out has been somewhat civil towards me -as in no jeering, sneering or glaring, she even told some girls talking bout me sitting in front of me to 'shut up'. Gavin had become a permanent lunch buddy so had Hack it seemed my bad reputation had effected Hacks social life. Which I guess was what pushed me to snap in gym during track and field -as the gym teacher had said I don't need my hands to run- talking crap about me, fine i'll bear but when getting my baby brother involved it got personal.

Marissa had pushed me to far when she got my family involved, I had given a hefty slap to her face whilst we were in the changing room's, which she retaliated by grabbing my hair and clawing at my face as I fended her off, crying girl was the only one who got involved and pulled her of off me, whilst the others just stood by and watched. I thanked her, as she shrugged her shoulders and apologized for what she had said at Pulse, explaining how she hadn't realized what 'bitch she was being until Teddy snapped at her, rambling on about how guys always boast about their conquest and so far none have bringing out that the rumour are just that.

"Fuma '' I turn to face crying girl as she jog along the track "its my name" she concludes.

xx

Right now I'm in the arms of Vale struggling to break out and attack. My minds hazy one minute I'm running along side Fuma then I'm pounding Mel as Lola gets involved and then Fuma leanding a helping hand and as things seemed to have escalated as a few other girls jumping in to the fry making it escalate even more. I'm guessing the guys saw the commotion from where they were doing the hurdles and come and pull back as many as possible as this is where I am at the moment, struggling to get out an break Mel's face. Sino had a grabbed a hold of Fuma, who had given some cheerleader a busted lip,Teddy had a firm grip of Lola as she was itching to do some damage, the twins each holding two girls per hand and few other guys doing the same, Gordon had dragged Marissa away.

I had ceased my struggling and had relaxed into his hold when Mel started " what whore, look at you getting cosy in his arms, you'll go for anyone, I'm right you are doing your brother behind closed doors" her words flipped a switch on in me, as it was the cause of what started this mess of. I relaxed myself against Vale knowing that if I tried breaking his hold he'll only restrict me more and listened to Mel insult my family as Marissa joined the fry too, Teddy had had enough and joined in the shout fest ensuing and I just stood their in his hold. Once things calmed down, I was released from my prison of arms with, Vale keeping close by with a hold on my good arm encase I tried anything, he had his suspicions I would, I looked up locking his gaze as his handsome face looked stony and said " let me" I felt his grip loosen and new this was the only chance I had and pulled free.

Running at Mel who's back was turned I barred through using my good shoulder and rolled on top of her and began punching her repeatedly with both hands not caring about my aching shoulder as I released all the pent up anger inside " don't you ever talk about my brothers like that" I pounded through each word, I hadn't noticed she had stopped struggling and gone limp as Teddy pulled me of and said "enough" nor did I register the blood on my knuckles " stop it, this isn't you, " I hardly noticed Lola screaming as I turned of in search of Marissa who was one of the main causes of my suffering, once my gaze landed on her I repeated the same process as she struggled adrenaline keeping me going as I had used most my energy up on Mel, Xavier had looped an arm around my waist and pulled me of a struggling Marissa who was attacking back with almost as much gusto as me."She's pregnant, that's just cruel " Teddy had said thoroughly disappointment but I was to enraged to care.

As Xander dragged of Marissa. Xavier kept a tight hold of me as I sat down to catch my breath and waited for a chance to get Lola. I took a look around, Mel out cold Lola beside her crying, Marissa sobbing and screaming at the same time, Teddy attending to her, Sino attending to the injured, Vale just stood an watched me. I got to my feet as Xander reaffirms his grip on me and indicate I'm going away from the scene to Vale and releases me into his care.

"Not done yet" I said to Vale and turn and run at Lola, who sees me let's loose a scream running of with me on her heels, once close enough I tackle her doing extensive damage to my injured shoulder and try punching her as she gets a few hits making my nose bleed, I slam my head on to her as my arm is useless as she digs her nails into my neck. "Jimmy forced him on to me" I said useing my non injured arm to to grab a hold of her hair an pulled making her scream " I was scared, he slammed my head against the wall repeatedly like this" as I demonstrate " I blacked not seeing anything and couldn't move cause he had pinned me down'' with another slam of her head " his disgusted hands all over me " pulling her hair hard as I get pulled of by Vale " when you came I was so relieved but then you started your bitching and left " I finish as I attempt to reach her.

"Your done now " putting me over his shoulder and carrying me off easily as I don't even attempt to struggle. Once far enough away I tell him I'm going to vomit, as he pulls me to the side and I empty the contents of my stomach with blood mixing, probably from my split lip.

I stand up and step away from my mess on the floor and stagger back against the outside wall with my back touching it, I slowly slide down becoming aware of my aches and pains, once down legs out in front of me knees drawn up and watch Vale come back with a bottle of mineral water from the vending machine crouching in front of me in the same position we where in once before whilst handing me the water.

When I make no move to take it, he opens it and holds it's towards my mouth forcing a few sips down. He raised his hand and swept the hair in my face back. "your going into shook" he states taking in my shaking " you need to re-align your shoulder, I doubt your playing statue." he said gaze soft and worried. " I'll take you to the hospital."

"Why" I ask as reaches out to me halting "your injured."

" Why" I ask again letting out a hiss as I shift away from his reach.

"you need saving" he said ad he puts an arm under my leg.

"No I don't " he raises his pierced brow " so" I finish sliding away from him with clenched teeth as to not scream.

"Stop moving your just causing more pain" he said holding me against the wall gently.

"Why do you care" I whimpered out.

"I want to save you "

"Why? "

"Come on I'll take you hospital first, I'll answer your questions later " he said as I demanded answer, with one quick motion I was in his arm screaming thru clenched teeth as tears pooled down my cheeks -great why does he always see me when I'm vulnerable " I'll try to keep you as steady as possible " he said tenderly.

xx

I had my shoulder re-aligned, face patched up, knuckles wrapped and given pain-meds and told Vale to return me back to school, where I had been expelled for my action. An ambulance had been called for the injured girl's. Teddy had come over to check my injuries but hadn't said two words since I attacked Marissa but I didn't give him the satisfaction of knowing how deeply that hurt as I kept silent too. I had called Hack from his lesson and made our way home.

ooo

"Key" I hm'd at Chaos who announced " your friend's here " I nod without turning around to Teddy exclaiming my displeasure.

"Your suspension should be over by now" startled I turn around realizing its not Teddy who spoke. " Was expecting you back by Monday" finished Vale lingering in my bedroom door.

"Why? "

"Hadn't pegged you as the type to hide away."

"Why do you care if I go back or not" gesturing for him to take a seat.

"You know why" he said walking around my room.

"I don't need saving " I stated pulling him from the back of his shirt from were he was inspecting my my anime pictures pinned on the wall, knowing he was referring to the trouble comment he mentioned last time. "Tell me why god-damn-it " I growled with a scowl.

Leaning into me with his face so close I could feel his breaths on me his lips inches from mine as I eyed his lips "I'll show you why " he whispered as his lips captured mine. His arm circling my waist and on the small of my back, deeping the kiss he nibbled on my lower lip asking for entrance which I willingly obliged. My arms on his chest clutching his shirt as his tongue sweeped the roof of my mouth making me moan in pleasure. Eventually we separated for the much needed air our lungs had been restricted of, Vale tilted his head down placing his forehead on mine and said "I like you." those words halted all the thoughts going of in my head but brought up an all new dilemma, pushing him away and stepping back " you asshole, you already have a girlfriend but you come here kissing me, I'm not Marissa, I won't help you cheat." I said lips trembling, how is it whenever I'm around him I'm always so emotional.

"I don't have a girlfri- "

"Liar" I interrupted voice cracking. " I saw you with that student intern."

" I told you before, not my girlfriend or bed buddy, she's just one of the more persistent one's " he said softly hands on my shoulder and lifting my chin up. "I like you, do you like me? you kissed me back, so I know you feel something." he waited, eyes locked onto mine ''tell me" they urged out.

I nodded my head yes, as he waited knowing he wanted me to say it, taking a few deep breaths to settle my trembling voice " your mean " I said causing his brow to raise nodding for me to continue " your rude " I locked eyes with him " you walk around like you own the place which I guess you do, you don't care about the people around only your friends, I guess cos they probably want something from you, I helped you with those thugs but then you had a go at me when I thought you'd thank me but you didn't and you don't thank people, so why would I like you " I raged causing his face to harden and hide the hurt expression I saw.

I grabbed his arm halting him from leaving as I closed my door with me leaning on it " but " I started with my hands on his chest stopping him reaching the handle as his gaze sought mine " your nice too, I was really erm messed up and you took me to the hospital and stayed with me, that was sweet, you helped with that thug, you never once ridiculed me in the hall like the rest, you asked about my shoulder that was thoughtful and not once did you look at me with contempt or disappointment when I went ape-shit on them, I guess what I'm saying is you hide behind a tuff exterior, with your sexy smirk and fierce glare add in the piercings for a menacing look. " I finished feeling extremely shy lowering my gaze to his chest were my hands still were.

"You still ain't said what I want to hear " Vale said causing me to look up.

"I did ''

"In a round-about way, want to hear you say it." he said lips hovering on mine " maybe I should convince you " his lips touching mine."Well " he mumbled against me

"I '' I said with pulling away "like'' with a chaste kiss " you " another chaste kiss as a gorgeous full blown smile broke out on him and went to capturing my lips.

"Sexy smirk, huh?'' Vale said once we broke apart for air with a smirk pulling up, as I looked away feeling embarrassed and flustered " Be my girlfriend? I'm definitely gonna enjoy making you flustered " he said taking in my flushed face.

"Yes and I don't need saving ''

"I'll always be their to save you " he said embracing me. " You never answered my earlier question " I looked up looking confused as my brows drew together.

He placed a kiss in-between my eyebrows " Your suspensions over, why aren't you back?" he asked.

"I'm not suspended " he nodded as I continued " I got expelled."

"I'll sort it out " Vale stated his expression hard.

ooo

Couple of days later I got a call from Redwood stating their wording was incorrect and as it should have suspension not expulsion and I can return to school on Monday.

Vale had been hanging at mine the next few days, been cuddling up to a movie. He had met my family the first night, getting on well with them, Chaos had began hero worshipping him since he saw him in action a few months back. Tape wasn't bothered as long as I was happy but Hack wasn't pleased with my dating him.

Vale had arrived to drive me to school but Teddy had also showed up, well he has been giving Hack a lift, I was relieved when Teddy still arrived for Hack after my 'supposed mistaken suspension- even though we were on no talking terms I was glad Teddy was watching out for him. He was surprised to see Vale here and even more stunned when I told him we were dating -i had wanted to tell him together and in person- it was the first time I had spoken to him since the fight, he wanted to talk, so Vale had taken Hack as I rode with Teddy.

We had had a heated conversion and finally cleared the air getting our friendship back track, causing us to miss the first two lessons as I walked of to third period, I saw everyone watching me with war looks and still quite a few sneers -Vale would have walked me to lesson as he had mentioned before but he had giving us space to sort out our friendship.

I had taken a seat next to Gavin as he had indicated I could and Fuma come up and sat in front saying 'glad your back, the bitches have been gloating for weeks about getting you kicked out, least now this will get rid of their smug looks ' I thanked her for her help, which she said she had been itching to set a few of them straight. I asked Gavin how he was coping at lunch, he mentioned Fuma and Hack as his such buddies as one's related to me and the other outed for helping.

The bell went for lunch, as we still lingered in class. "Fuma" I said as she turned not before telling two girls to die for the nasty comment.

"Yes "she said sweeping her long bangs at the front from her boy cut hair -Fuma's quite pretty with her natural ginger hair green eyes and a petite body, she may look innocent but she has quite a tongue on her.

''We friends? and if we ain't can we be? " I asked.

"It's about time you asked, gimmi your number" she said as I stored my number in her phone whilst she did the same.

"I told you she would ask, she did the same with me '' Gavin put on with a told you so look to her.

'' Yeah, yeah, you were right all mighty and powerful lord Gavin, happy now " Fuma said sarcastically.

"I think you forget to bow " I added

"And become a part of my harem like Kisa here " Gavin said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"I'll think abou-" Fuma said as she got interrupted.

" Your back, what did you do sleep with the principal" Marissa come up and said.

"Wouldn't put it past her, your crazy you should be locked up" Mel said keeping her distance.

"Piss of slut central " said Fuma getting up and shoving them out the way as we followed.

"I'll tell Teddy " Marissa threatened smugly making me halt, lording over the fact me and Teddy weren't talking.

"We made moron, he told me your kiss was a mistake so don't be getting notion of you guys getting back together cos I won't let it happen, his to good for you " I said walking out.

Walking into the lunch hall, most looked over and began talking shit about me like I wasn't their making me uncomfortable, Gavin went in search of Hack.

"Shit, their being harsh and we can hear you pussy's " said Fuma shouting out at the end to the people near us.

"Who you looking for, Gav's already gone to find Hack "

"My boyfriend " I said scanning the hall for him.

"You and Teddy dating, his not here maybe Marissa cornered him " said Fuma as I heard a twinge of jealously when she said the dating word.

"Nope, Teddy's another brother to me, I'm with V" I said to her as someone tripped me causing the people around to laugh. Gavin had come back with Hack who helped me and snapped at the people around yelling ' shut the fuck you prats'- I pulled him along walking away, while Hack muttered obscenities and Gavin asked about his harem.

" Who's harem have you joined and who's Hack muttering on about?" Vale said coming up behind brow raised, as the hall fell silent all eyes on us, well Vale as he hardly interacts much with anyone.

"I've joined Gavin's harem, you gotta ask his permission if you want me. " I said pointing to Gavin. Casing quite a few people to gasp.

" Is that so" Vale said with smirk on his face and a pierced brow raised as he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me towards him " I'm taking this one, find yourself a new " he said to Gavin whilst resting his chin on my shoulder as the hall broke out into whispers.

"I is made a friend" I told Vale "Fuma - Fuma-Vale my boyfriend " I pointed whilst introducing them " though you probably know each other, that be Gavin my fellow anime lover and that be my brother Hack" I said finishing the introduction " he no like you'' I whispered out onto his ear. Vale walked me to his table as the twins and Sino where already seated " come on guys " I shouted for them to follow. Once everyone had been introduced we began eating, Vale had placed me on his lap as I had sat. All the hall had began talking about this new development, whilst they kept looking over which was seriously getting freaky and the amount of deadly looks I got wow if the expression -looks can kill- was literal I'd not be here right now. I tried holding in a shiver but another crawled up my spine causing Vale to pull me deeper into his arms ' cold' he'd asked as I had snuggled in ' why is they staring like that, it be freaky peaky ' I wondered aloud

"Is?'' Xander asked with a smile on his face.

"It be?" Xavier had followed up lifting his head from his arms.

"Freak peaky? really! " Fuma had finished of. Sino and Gavin looked on amused.

"You'll get use to, be glad it ain't slag she's talking, one Tape is bad enough " Hack informed.

"Vale doesn't do girlfriends " Xander answered.

"Nor has he ever initiated contact, he made the first move surprising everyone " Xavier finished were his brother left of.

"It would seem their expecting some kind of confrontation to happen between Teddy and Vale, that would explain the anticipated looks " Sino put in as Teddy walked up, with more talk to break out all around.

" I'm sorry, I never noticed what was happening with you as I was caught up in my own problem" Teddy said.

"It be fine T we already cleared everything up. Chill, oh Marissa egg face is gonna probably lie and crap but I'll tell you, I didn't touch her pregnant ass, I got witnesses " I said easing the guilt he felt and pointing to my so called witnesses.

'' I believe you, but it was cause me all the rumors started I'm going to set everything straight so the same mess doesn't happen again." Teddy said as he got up on to the table. All eyes turned to him with even more speculation circling as to what was going on.

" Alright people listen up " he shouted gaining everyone attention as silence fell.

"I don't know what you've heard but i'll be clearing all the rumours going round. Me and Marissa broke during summer brake and NO it was not because of Kisa, I met her after I returned early from my holiday." he said looking around at everyone. " We are just friends and have not dated or hooked up nor has she messed with the twins and Sino, the fact you guys spread viscous rumours and began physically assaulting her is disgusting and a new low especially since you didn't find out personally but listening to third party as if that's ever accurate. Kisa and Vale are dating now so if try and attack her or do anything to upset her you won't only be facing me but the rest us as well and quite frankly you know Vale's temperament'' Teddy finished getting down. whispers breaking lose.

"She's a whore she fucked Lola boyfriend and she's psycho you where there when she attacked" Mel shouted.

"You hear that Vale she'll just spread her legs when your not around, look at the company she keeps, Fuma so easy people don't even wan- " Marissa added getting interrupted by Fuma who had stood up" what fuck you say bitch." as Teddy pushed her down to her seat.

" Quite Marissa, before you make me say something you'll regret " Teddy stated, I had took a hold of Vale's hands as he had fisted them to calm him whilst I trailed my fingers over them.

"No I won't, that whore needs to die, she got in-between us, it's all her fault were not together " she whined out stomping her feet.

"Shut the fuck up "Teddy roared out, causing her to squeak in fright, the hall was deathly silent -it seems Teddy rarely curses and when he does people know his livid.'' Your the reason we broke, not Kisa, you, I fucking found you in bed with someone who's wasn't fucking me, you went and kissed fucking Xavier when his drunk, every fucking person here knows he can't hold his fucking liquor. You fucking caused a rift between us, their practically my brothers but you fucked everything up. And I fucking loved you was even considering taking you back but when I found out your fucking pregnant, I was still thinking fine well survive somehow, do you want to know what ruined everything. " said Teddy anger evident with each word as he took a breath looking over at Marissa sobbing away " When you told me you were pregnant, I already knew that word travels fast. But No it was when you tried to pass me as the father. When I ain't, you were going to pass me of as the father. I had my doubts but when Kisa here asked you how far along I know for fucking sure it wasn't me. So go tell the fucking father but make sure it's right otherwise you'll ruin two lives if your wrong, the kid and the father to be. If you ever fucking touch Kisa physically or literally I will ruin you." Teddy said with such a cold but calm voice his face so fierce it was eerie giving you shivers. Marissa run out her hysterical cries echoing all around as no-one moved or said anything afraid to bring on Teddy's ire. Everyone watched as his gaze landed on Mel who looked scared out her wits as she looked over at Lola for help. " Mel you better watch your words I've dug up enough dirt on you that you'll be the one fucking locked up. Kisa's not the one cheating why don't you tell Lola their what you are doing with her father behind closed doors, you do know his happily married though he has a slight fetish for filming, I've found out you like being the star in most, even heard you like to act scenes to his poker buddies that come round as little Lola's usually passed out drunk to realize. And little Lola the social climber or sheep who follow what others do, weren't you their watching when so called jimmy came on to her yet you decided to turn the other cheek, girls really are vicious much vicious then us guys who get painted in a bad light when they state their intent that its just sex nothing more, but you females sure do give a whole new meaning to vicious-ness, even Kisa has it in her especially when she pounded your ass, well deserved though. "

Teddy finished, leaving a stunned Mel and shocked Lola as they run out. I got out of Vales lap and gave Teddy a good hard smack which shook him out of his eerie calm, Vale got up but I held my hand in stop gesture halting him as Teddy looked at me features hard to read. I went over and wrapped my arms around him for a hug he stood their limp not moving until I slowly felt his arms wound round me he buried his head in my shoulder as I whispered "that was cruel " he nodded his head with a 'i know' as I continued " very mean" he squeezed me tighter.

Vale had put a hand on his shoulder once Teddy released me reluctantly and squeezed it indicating where here for you -in that silent guy code- we had taken our seats as the others consoled Teddy, the mass hall had broken their silence once Teddy had taken a seat.

"You feel lighter '' I asked Teddy halting whatever Xander had said "I did, once I went ape-shit on them." I finished.

"Surprisingly I think I do, I guess I needed to get it of my chest, it was chewing me up inside " Teddy replies a smile braking lose showing his adorable dimples.

Glad the days over, I sigh out sitting with Vale. Their new looks were weirding me out. A few had come up to me and apologised for their behavior.

" Hey, we're is we heading? it not be the way home" I asked "you better not be kidnapping moì "

" The thought has accrued " he said with a smirk my way " but I'll save that for some other time." turning to face me as he stopped at the traffic light. " It's about time we had our first official date, don't you?"

I nodded as he leaned over to kiss me, the car behind horned impatiently as the lights had changed. Vale scowled annoyed at being interrupted as he drove of to our first date.

...

A/N: Finally finished.

One extremely long one-shot.

Would have finished it a few days ago but have been glued to the news watching the London riots. Tottenham was bad but then they moved up around my area luckily didn't get much damage just few odd shops here and there.

Croydon got the worst damage and now Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester are ended up torn.

These guy's need to grow up, their just ruining people's livelihood and home's. Hope it stop's soon.

let me know what you guys think.
