Chapter 5: Wear This

Leah's P.O.V

As I'm fast walking down the hall McKenzie shouts "hey! I DO HAVE CLASS YOU WENCH!" and I chuckle and shout back

"IT TOOK YOU TOO LONG TO FIGURE IT OUT KENZIE" as I walking I walk into someone.

I look at the person to apologize and see Jeremy "sorry Jeremy"

He replies "thanks and sorry, we probably should watch where we are walking and we aren't meant to be shouting in the halls you know, aren't you also meant to be in class?" he raises one eyebrow

I smile nervously "you see I got a detention in Mr. Dike's class"

He asks "so what are you doing here, the detention room is the other way" he holds my shoulder and spins me to the other direction "around" he finishes

I spin again to face him "I know and I've met Mr. Phil, he said I can go"

‎He looks confused for a moment "uh okay you can go"

"Thanks" I say and pat his cheek before heading to my locker to switch some books and for drama I'll just ask Amelia for her notes.

* At her locker‎*

I put in my code then open before switching my books, I look in the mirror to see my lips are drying up so I just use my lip balm and smile at my reflection, satisfied with how I look.

I close my locker and go to stand at the English room door for like 5 minutes before I get tired and sit on the floor-unhygienic I know, I check my watch and see there is only 10 minutes before 2nd period ends so I slowly open the door and tip toe to the back where I see Steff texting someone, being the good person I am I write a note saying

'Who's got you so focused that you didn't notice me passing by your desk' and put it on her desk and sit on the chair behind her

I gesture to the boy next to her "tell her to look at her desk" he nods and does that. She reads the note and looks at the back‎ and whispers

"What are you doing here"

I shrug and whisper back "Well I got a detention, Mr. Phil said I could go and here I am also who are you texting"

She blushes "nobody really important but you know him"

'Who could that be' I think

"I know who it is" ( I really don't) "it's definitely Yehuda Tyree"

She stifles a laugh "Yehu- who's that even"

I reply "I don't know, it just came out"

Then the teacher in front says " I will be giving you a class acti-" the bell just rung effectively saving the students who dash out of the class.

"Hey Steff can you borrow me your hoodie" I ask

"For what?" she asks

"Just lemme use it, please" I say while using my puppy face which nobody can just not fall for- like the time when I was meant to be on cleaning duty for one week after puppy power happened, the principal changed it to detention for one day.

"Fine, just wait here" she said while packing her stuff up

I smile "I have class here Steff" she just rolls her eyes and goes to get it.

After a minute or so, she runs in with‎ the hoodie and shoves it in my face "here you go, I'm running late literally. Bye" then she runs off while I wear the hoodie and stay in the shadows, it's quite cloudy today so the class is darker than usual.

I pull out my phone to Xavier a message

L= Leah

X = Xavier

**Start of text**

L: Hey, I'm sitting at the very back of the class. Meet me there

X:Why are you sitting there? I thought you like sitting in the middle

L: I wanna do something, just hurry

X: Fine, fine, I'm coming

L: The class is quarter full, walk faster. Wait no, run as fast as you can.

X: But I might knock people down

L: Tell them sorry. HURRY UP!!!

X: I'm here don't bite me.

L: Then come to the back. I'm already there

X: I can't see you. Are you even there

L: Yes I am, I can see you. Just keep walking to the back

X: I still can't see you

X: Whatchu got on?

**End of text**

As soon as he sends it, he's standing in front of me so I drag him to the seat next to me while he let's out a small yelp

"What the hell? What's going on?" he asks

"Hey Xavi" I say when I take off the hoodie

"Huh, Leah you scared me. Why are you wearing the hoodie"

"It's for something now here, wear this" I pass him a black hoodie

"Where did you get this" he asks

"Steff brought this now wear it before the teacher comes in. And don't take it off until class is over" I say while hitting his arm

"Stop being so violent with me, I have a sensitive body okay?" he says with a smile and puts it on

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say" I respond

"I really do" he protests
