CHAPTER 3

It had already been 2 whole weeks since attending my new school and I'd grown quite used to it; I wasn't getting lost as much (my visuospatial memory is quite good thankfully because I cannot afford to be more clumsy than I already am), I had gotten used to all of Ava's friends and in fact I'll go to the lengths of saying they were my friends, all of us as a family always tried to have dinner together which was nice for a change (we used to do it more often before but I guess everyone just got busy).

It's a Sunday night and I cannot sleep, now I'm definitely going to look like a zombie tomorrow. I eventually decide to listen to white noise and put my favourite which is of an ocean. It would literally put a monster to sleep.

2 mins with it on and I'm off to dreamland.

I hate that my school has a formal dress code. I can't dress normal with jeans and a top, but I can also not dress in a uniform. Hmmm what should I wear?

'Need help?' I turn around to see my mum standing in the doorway of my room.

I give a warm smile to her 'good morning beautiful' and turn back around to my wardrobe 'yes because at this rate I'm going to be late'.

It didn't take long for her to decide which was a white turtleneck and black trousers with a black belt. I decide to pair it with my straight hair open and a ring. I stand in front of the mirror admiring myself. 'Look at me' I say out loud whilst giving a slight twirl and giggling.

'DELILAH, COME DOWN, YOU HAVE TEN MINUTES FOR BREAKFAST OR WE'LL BE LATE AND I'LL LEAVE WITHOUT YOU'

Oh snap! How could I forget the time?

I run downstairs and finish my breakfast quickly, give a quick kiss to mum and dad, wear my ankle high heel boots and head out to the car.

'How come you're the one that got late today' Asher asks whilst putting his seatbelt on.

'Ummm… I couldn't find clothes to wear' Asher scoffs at my reason 'Hey! Its easy for guys to wear the first thing they find but for us girl, nuh uh, we just never find clothes for the right occasion'

'Delilah, its been 2 weeks since you've been going to this school, no one cares what you wear' Asher says whilst just looking ahead.

'Yeah yeah fine, I'll try to be quicker from tomorrow' Asher did have a point, but I wasn't going to tell him that. Insert my evil laugh.

*****

We reached school early, so I decided to just go wait in my registration class. There's someone already there, sitting in MY seat but I couldn't make out who it was since their back was to me 'Ummm… excuse me, that's my seat'.

The person tilts his head slightly in my direction giving a sideway glance 'well clearly not anymore' and turns his head back to the front.

I COULD sit somewhere else but I didn't know anyone in my class, so I preferred sitting at the front, away from the gossip queens and trash kings.

I walk up to the person and realise its Kane 'Oh, it's you… I-I-I'm sorry, but can you just move up'

'Look stop giving me a head-' He looks up and smirks 'Oh Miss Nerd, fine I will, only if you complete all of my maths homework that's due for today'

'Okay'

Okay? Really? Could you not give in so easily, oh that's right I was scared!

I completed the work quickly and passed it back 'here you go'.

'You made a mistake' MISTAKE?

I take the paper back and realise instead of 2 zeros, I only added 1 zero. Hold up how did he know anyway?

I scoff 'If you knew how to do it then why didn't you solve it yourself'.

His piercing eyes look over at me and he smirks 'I never said I didn't know how to do it; I just didn't WANT to do it'.

'Fair enough' I just look down and start twiddling with my thumbs.

It was awkward silence for 10 mins until the bell rings.

PHEW!

I released a sigh of breath I didn't even I was holding.

Kane got up and started walking out, huh? 'Where are you going?'

He looks back and with a smirk plastered on his face he says ���Aww miss me already… this isn't my class so see you in maths'

I don't respond and instead nod my head and turn back around. How could I not know he's not in my class? Silly me. The class starts flooding with students and the teacher walks in and pauses at her desk 'did Kane come?' she had a look of confusion and most probably talking to herself but I decide to respond 'yes he did'.

She gave a warm smile and started the registration.

I was walking to maths when Ava, Nikita, Emily and Grace join me.

'Hey Dels, do you have my pen that you borrowed in last lesson' Emily asked.

'Oh yeah I do just a second' I smile at her and start searching my bag.

Whilst I was busy searching, I hear Grace say 'its first lesson, how's he smooching already'.

'I know right he changes girls faster than Dels solves her maths' I hear Nikita say and they all laugh including me.

'I swear he was with Mia last week' I hear Emily say.

'Yup' I hear Ava say whilst stressing on the p.

I finally look up to see where but can't see who they're on about 'who? Where?'

'Look, Kane at 2 o'clock against the locker' Ava says, I look over and it was Kane and a blonde up against the locker with half his tongue in her mouth with his hand on her ass.

'He's such a player, He doesn't even talk to girls unless it's for passing on STIs' I hear Nikita say

We all pass him and continue walking.

AWKWARD!
