After morning form, James and I start our journey to maths, it being the subject I was good at makes people think I enjoy it, just because I'm good at it doesn't mean I like it! I slowly make my way into the classroom sitting at my seat at the back of the class, James sat on one side of me and Tom, one of Charlie Wilson's friends, sat on the other side. Charlie and his friends are said to be one of the meanest people going, but Tom was actually nice well to me, he didn't like James. I pull my books out waiting for the teacher to start talking, just as Tom takes his seat beside me.
"Morning Miya still stuck with him" he smiles, but points over to James who sat beside me. "You know if you want me to get rid of him, I will," he says, I just laugh shaking my head as James spoke up.
"You and what army?" he mumbles, trying to stick up for himself, I don't know how this whole hatred thing started, but it's still going strong!
"You don't wanna know" Tom smirks, I shake my head sitting up so they couldn't see each other, hoping that would stop the arguments maybe just for even 10 minutes.
"Miss Turner, may I see you after class?" The teacher asks, I just nod a little confused I haven't done anything wrong.
"Oh Miya, what have you done?" Tom asks, I just give him a look shaking my head once again. "Did you cheat on a test? Or key his car?" he asks, I laugh once again shaking my head at him.
"How did you go from cheating on a test, to keying his car?" I ask, he just shrugs his shoulders also laughing "do I look like a girl who would do anything like that?" I ask, James went to speak but Tom holds his finger up stopping him.
"I don't know, you know when some person does a really bad thing, people always say they never thought they'd do anything like that" he points out, I just sigh shaking my head looking back at the front of the class.
"Don't worry Miya, it's probably nothing" James reassures me, but Tom just shuts him down immediately.
"If it was nothing why would he wanna talk to her? Think before you speak James" Tom tells him, I laugh at the two before getting back to my work.
The lesson drags on, the whole time Tom and James were going back and forth about random stuff. I wave goodbye to James and eventually Tom, once everyone left Mr Jones finally looks up from his desk.
"I'm just gonna get right to it cause I have another class, you are one of my best students which would make you perfect to be a tutor, would you be interested in torturing another one of my pupils? He's in your year" he asks, okay that was a lot of information all at one time.
That's gonna mean more work! I mean I'm good at maths but that doesn't mean I want more work to deal with! But then again this could bring my grade higher, which would benefit me more in the long run and it probably won't be for long, maybe a few hour sessions.
"Okay" I smile, he thanks me telling me I had to come to his room tomorrow at lunch, I wave goodbye and make my way to English, another subject I love, note the sarcasm.
I finally reach my English class, which annoyingly was on the opposite side of the school, whoever made my timetable hates me! Once I walk in the whole class turns to look at me, giving me attention that I didn't want or need. I was about to tell the teacher why I was late, but she spoke before I could.
"Tom already told me about Mr Jones, just take your seat" she smiles, my eyes soon dart to Tom who sends me a wink, but then slowly drift to the person beside him, Charlie Wilson.
He held my gaze for a second also sending me a wink, I look down making my way over to my chair, which was unfortunately directly in front of his. Once I sit down everyone else gets back to what they were doing, but I felt eyes burning holes in my back.
"So Miya, what did Mr Jones want?" Tom's voice asks, I turn around sending him a weird look, I make sure my eyes remained on him and not Charlie.
"It was nothing" is all I say, before I could turn back around again Tom speaks up, I mean I like how he's nice to me but not when he's near his terrifying friend.
"Don't tell me I'm gonna have to tell you what I told James if it was nothing he wouldn't want to talk to you" he smiles, I just roll my eyes which look at Charlie for a second, whose eyes were staring at me so intently.
"Just about some tutoring thing, it's not that exciting" I finally tell him, he just shakes his head as Charlie starts to speak.
"It kept me entertained," he says, my eyes move to his where I send him a little smile and finally get to turn around.
Where the burning holes in my back wouldn't go out, I even heard him ask Tom what our deal was. I for one don't like where this is going.
It's been about a month since I spoke with dad, we haven't heard a thing from either parent, but honestly, we don't need them. Charlie, me and the guys all moved into the house with Marley as the house was much too big for him to live in alone, that and there was so many of us squeezing into Charlie's place. Speaking of Charlie, after everything with my family he saw that life was too short and reached out to his. They haven't met in person yet but they talk over the phone a lot, it's made him happy which is all that matters. Today was Marley's big football game, the guys and I were just finding our seats to watch him. Charlie and the guys have started to try and get on with Marley, I mean they kind of have to as they live in his house. Don't get me wrong they do have their moments, but at the end of the day, we all sit down, eat pizza and watch tv. Loud cheers snap me out of thoughts wher
For the whole lesson after that James didn't utter word, Tom on the other hand wouldn't shut up. He was going on about how proud he was of me and how he knew I'd do that one day, I didn't know where that came from in me but I'm kinda glad I did it. Once the lesson was over Tom and I head to English, a lesson Charlie was in and I actually couldn't wait to see him. Tom and I make our way down the hall, my arm linked with his as he went on and on about what happened, by the end I was laughing at him. As we walk into the class Charlie was already there, Tom had to stop off to chat this girl up and wouldn't let me leave, he didn't get her number if you were wondering. Charlie sends me a smile as we walk over to our seats, Lily sends me a smile where I look at Charlie and shrug. I take my seat beside her directly in front of Charlie, Lily immediately smiles as sit down. "I was hoping you'd sit next to me" she smiles,
The next morning went by so quickly, I was kind of nervous to walk into school being completely different. I didn't have anything I normally would, I wasn't in my normal uniform and I didn't have my bag with all my supplies, I didn't even have a pen! As we make our way into the school gates I feel eyes on me, everyone stops and looks at us but mostly me. Charlie looks over at me smiling placing a kiss on my head, I look up at him smiling as he gives my hand he's holding a little squeeze. On our journey further into school, I caught sight of two people, James and Lily were stood there shocked staring at me. I take a look at Charlie who was giving dirty looks to some guy, I make us stop moving to talk to him. "I'll just be a minute" I smile, placing a kiss on his lips before running over to my two friends "Lil-" I start to speak, but I'm wrapped in a tight hug before I could finish my sentence.
I stand frozen at the door not daring to turn, I could tell who it was by their voice. Charlie remained behind me with his hand on my back, the door was wide open at this point where my neighbours smile at me, but I couldn't return the smile. "Dad?" I hear Marley ask then he begins to cry along with my mother but I shake my head. "I can't do this" is all I say walking out the house, I hear my dad start calling my name but I don't turn my head even for a second. Charlie unlocks the car where I immediately climb in, out the corner of my eye I see someone running out of the house but I shake my head turning to look at Charlie. He sends me a soft smile turning the car on, before the person could reach my door we were driving away.
We soon arrive at my house, I look at Charlie who parks the car up outside. I still didn't know if this was a good idea, it would make me feel better to have him there but Marley will lose his mind. Before I could speak Charlie shakes his head getting out, he knew what I was gonna say before I even said it! I sigh joining him outside the car, where my family home was stood right in front of me. I just had fear take over my body staring at it, I've never been this scared to walk in this house, actually, I've never been scared to walk in the house. Charlie takes my hand leading me down the path, with every step we took the more nervous I got. When we finally reach the door I just stare at Charlie, I didn't know if I should knock before we walk in. Charlie gestures for me to take the handle answering my question, I nod taking a breath before taking ahold of the handle opening the door. The smell of home fills my no
It's been a few days since Charlie told me what happened, I haven't seen Morgan at all as he's locked himself in his room. Charlie said he had a plan to get us out of here, he told me it was foolproof which I guess means it's good. But if this works I get to go back home to Marley and my mum, where I can ask my mum for the truth and will have to explain to Marley everything that's happened, I'm not looking forward to that. I was taking a midday nap, I mean there was nothing else to do when the door opens causing me to jump. Charlie walks into the room holding a bottle in his hands, he makes his way over to me stroking my hair. "You know I love you right, more than anything," he says, I just nod while he opens the lid of the bottle "then just know this is gonna keep you safe," he says, before he forces whatever liquid was in the bottle from m
