Mason was gone because my parents were now home and they told me to come down to have a 'talk', this is gonna be a real something.

"Why didn't you come home yesterday?" My foster mom asked.

"Well did you call, text even? No I don't think so. I'm safe ok?"

"No it is not ok young lady you have to come home or how about you at least leave a message? Would it kill you to do that!?" Sophie barked back.

"Why are you like this now? First you don't care about nothing me or Blair do now you're trying to act like caring 'parents' just drop the act."

"We do care Julie really, we're just really busy at work and it's hard to balance both." My foster dad jumped in, he was the only person to call me Julie and quite honestly he's not bad. My foster mom on the other hand is extremely...opinionated?

"Look, I'm sorry. I have sorted things out at school, now if you keep me here any longer, I will actually be late so I have to go." I said and grabbed my bag. Blair was waiting outside in my car and was on her phone.

"What'd they want?" She questioned as she started to get us onto the road.

"Sophie was actually pretending like she gave 2 whole fucks about me. That's all really." Sophie is the name of our absolutely amazing foster mom.

"Omg please say you didn't say anything dumb? We can't afford to move to a different family, they could easily kick us out you know? Just tolerate with them until we're 18 ok?"

"Ugh fine, but I'm defo not gonna like this."

"Nowwww, words spreading around school already but people think you and Mason fucked. Don't worry, I covered for your naughty ass. I told people you'd 'never go for a low life and I know who you like it's most defo not Mason'. You're so welcome best friend."

"Ok that's good I gu-...um Blair, you do know that Mason could get a hold of this information you told people right? Just a thought for you to focus on."

"Oh please I'm not dumb." I gave her one massive side eye at that comment which led to her rolling her eyes. "Of course he could find out. When he does who actually cares it's not like you actually like him anyway." She laughed in my face but when she heard me not laughing with her, she screamed. "Oh my absolute goodness! Liana Ash!!! You like HIM?"

"Girl keep your voice down would you? I don't have a crush on him or nothing, I just see him as a tolerable person."

"Oh yeah sweetie you like him. It's ok to admit it but to be honest you most definitely should've told me before I abolished any idea of you two being together. Gosh liana I could've made your guys debut."

"No thank you! I don't want people you know, involved with my love life also me and him are not even together yet so really there is no reason at all to be getting excited."

"Butttt there is potential, for example me and Kai." She said as we pulled up to the school. "I liked him, worked my magic and ka boom the bitch was all mine before midnight." We walked out of the car and made our way into the school and I just couldn't wait to deal with all of those rumours. I hope you, reader, understand that I was joking and being sarcastic. As we walked into the fricking car park, the looks started to pile up. I could hear most of the whispers, people really take something small and just lead with it.

"There goes miss sexual gray." One person said.

"I wonder if there gonna hit it in the English room next." Another said.

"Why her? He is much more gorgeous." This time I didn't have to guess which voice that one was. Alara. One of my sisters best friends who recently hooked up with Mason. I looked at her and gave the most disgusting and meanest face I could make. Why not. Sometimes things like this aren't super bad, sometimes it's just the perfect chance to make that one person absolutely miserable and jealous of you and that feeling, I must admit is a powerful and beautiful one.

"Lianaaaa?" I heard a voice saying behind me and Blair. Mason, how perfect. A big idea popped into my mind as I walked over to him.

Firstly, I gave one big, big hug then I whispered to him my plan.

"Alara your little side chick is watching and she said something real bitchy so just pretend like I'm kissing your neck ok?"

"Whatever you say, angel." He whispered back. My lips then pressed against his neck and I subtly pretended to be kiss it all over. Not making out but just leaving mini mini kisses on it, because quite frankly this will not be the way I lose my first kiss with him.
