Chapter 42
‘You sleep with your light on p>
Making a face I looked at my lamp. Was he watching my house?
‘You’re creepy. Goodnight Jake p>
I was up and ready a good hour before I needed to leave. I had ate my breakfast and took my first set of antibiotics for the day.
“I have something to ask you”. My gran said as she filled my cup up.
“Okay p>
“Would you be okay with George coming to dinner tonight? He’s dying to meet you”. Why did she look so nervous?
“Of course”. I smiled. “I do have a friend from school coming over. He’s tutoring me in chemistry so I don’t fail p>
“That’s okay honey ask him if he wants to stay for dinner. I’m making steak and potatoes with pepper sauce p>
“I will”. She seemed to be in a great mood, she was happy.
“Have a good day sweetheart and I’ll see you when you’re home”. Kissing my cheek she grabbed her keys. “You need me to drop you off p>
“No it’s fine Alanna is giving me a lift p>
“Okay honey I’ll see you later”. Hearing the door close I went about fixing my bag. Adding some snacks and some water I washed my cup and placed it on the draining board. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. Hearing the toot from her horn I grabbed my jacket and my bag and beaded outside.
She had the music blaring.
Little mix and Jason Derulo – secret love song.
“Kane has a new girlfriend”. Turning the volume down she pouted. “I’m sad p>
“I think that’s for the best”. Jake almost killed the poor boy. If he liked to live its best he stay clear of Alanna.
“I love him Leah and he’s done this to me. Why would he hurt me like that p>
“I thought you weren’t allowed to date him?”. I asked. Apparently there were rules that she had to follow.
“I’m not”. She sighed.
“Then maybe it’s best you let Kane do this. He’s maybe realised he likes to live. Let him move on Alanna it’s not fair p>
“You’re right but it’s hard. He meant the world to me and now well now I’m sad, single and lonely”. Pulling into the school parking lot she parked her car.
“Well we can be sad, single and lonely together”. I grinned taking off my seatbelt and getting out. “But not tonight because I have Ryan coming over to tutor me”. “Ryan’s coming to your house?”. She asked frowning. “Is that a good idea?”. And here we go again.
“Hey girls”. Lacey grinned. “How are we doing today?”. She always seemed so cheerful. I wasn’t a morning person.
“She’s sad because Kane had a new girlfriend p>
“Yo shorty”. Ryan yelled from across the lot gaining a lot of attention. “Come over here”. He grinned.
“Guys I’ll see you later p>
Grabbing a hold of my good hand she stopped me. “Hanging out with Ryan isn’t a good idea”. Alanna sighed. “It’ll get you into p>
“Alanna”. Lacey warned. “We’ll see you at lunch Leah. Have a good morning p>
That’s was weird.
“Hey you”. I smiled coming to a stop next to his car. “How are you?”. I didn’t care what Alanna said. Ryan was my friend and I wasn’t going to stop talking to him.
“I’m good shorty, how’s the hand?”. He wasn’t looking at me but over me. Following his gaze I smiled when I realised he was staring at the girl who sat in front of me in English. “Someone got a little crush?”. I laughed knocking him out of his trance.
“What no” he huffed.
“Then why’s your face red?”. Nudging him I laughed as he threw his arm around my shoulder. “She’s beautiful Leah”. He groaned. “But I can’t talk to her p>
Eh? Ryan was confident, good looking and a football player.
“Why?”. I asked.
“I get all nervous around her and every time I try to talk to her I mumble and stutter p>
“That’s cute”. I grinned.
“Shut up”. Walking into chemistry I noticed Alanna hadn’t arrived yet. Maybe she had decided to skip or maybe seeing Kane was too much for her.
“My gran wants to know if you’re staying for dinner tonight. She’s cooking steak and potatoes p>
“I’m there”. He grinned.
“And you’re still okay to come over tomorrow too?”. I was starting to panic because I really was failing and I couldn’t afford to not graduate.
“Sure thing but it’ll be later because I’ve got football practice p>
“Thanks again for helping me. I could talk to Abby for you if you want p>
“No I’m scared she doesn’t like me like that. Don’t want to make an arse of myself”. Getting his books out I did the same.
“I could put the feels out just to see if she’s available?”. I shrugged.
“Okay everyone settle down”. Mr Robinson yelled as he closed the door. “It’s not long until we do a practice run for the grade that most of you need to graduate”. His eyes landed on me. “I want you all to pa*s with flying colors so open your books and get studying. Take this serious guys the test is a hard one p>
I may as well quit just now.
“Could you maybe just put some feels out there then, maybe see what she likes?”. He asked.
“I’ve got English after lunch I’ll do my best. Now let me see your notes p>
