After school, Chloe went home because they decided she should do her thing before they went for the ice cream, and she got things in place for her siblings and then she went upstairs to her room to shower and change into something nice. As she started to dry her body, she heard her phone beep and then she looked around her to know where she dropped it. It was lying on the bed, so she walked to it and picked it up. There was a text from Hailey. Hailey: You better don’t keep me waiting, I'm almost at your house.Chloe smiled at the text and then she shook her head. Hailey sure was interested in the ice cream Zach promised. She knew she had a crush on him, and hoped that it wasn’t something serious, because she couldn't become some "you don’t have to cry anymore” kind of friend. She sighed as she typed her response. Chloe: I just got out of the shower. Shouldn't you come upstairs to come to help me out, or do you prefer I look like a spider? She sent it and dropped her phone on the
When Chloe noticed it, she furrowed her brows in a frown again. "Huh, what's wrong?” she asked as she saw that her mood had made a three-sixty degree change from all smiles to getting a sad look on her face. “Huh, it's nothing,” Hailey said and Chloe shook her head with a grunt. “Oh, please don't patronize me. That's not nothing. I mean, one moment you were smiling so happily and the next you're looking as if someone peed in your cereal. It's absolutely obvious that something is up.” Chloe said. Hailey sighed, and then she looked at Chloe. "Well, I guess I only said it's nothing because I do not want to admit it. I've been kind of sad lately, depressed even. My parents are always fighting, even at night when they think I'm asleep, and they'll pretend like everything is fine the next day, only to start again when I turn my back.” She said. Well, that was definitely not something Chloe was expecting. She looked at Hailey like she was seeing a new person, someone she was only meeting
He looked so compelling in the white shirt, a pair of blue ripped jeans, and black sneakers, and all Chloe could do was stare and look at him with her jaw practically on the floor. Chloe had seen him dressed all gorgeous like this before, but it was the first time she was seeing him outside of school in a different atmosphere than the one at school. When he had come to her house to warn her off Ally, it had not been in the same circumstances. His physical appearance was obviously showing his love for his exercise, and Chloe just couldn't get enough. It was amazing how one person could have a great body and a gorgeous face like this with the character embedded with flaws. He was a jerk that love to think that Chloe’s world revolved around her, even though that wasn't the case. The way he was arrogant, she might as well think that he owned her, the earth, and everybody in it. Although, he deserved to be cocky with a face, body, and physique like his. As soon as she and Hailey had en
When Zach visited Mrs. Bello, he concluded that using her class as an extra way to learn credit wasn't something for him. But the option he was left with wasn't going to be easy either. He had thought about it over and over until he concluded that it was better to find someone who could tutor him instead of joining the book club as the principal had graciously proposed. Although, he knew that she was only saying that to help him, but it didn't mean she wouldn't do as he wanted at the end of it all. His father, after all, pumped in money to the school every semester, like he was offering money to charity. Principal Carly Wayne sure knew how to do things in a subtle way, which was why she had asked him to go see Mrs. Bello, even though she knew he might not be able to do what was asked. There had been a certain way he had been avoiding this until now, but he was a senior and was graduating soon, so he needed all the extra grades he could get. Finally, after thinking about it like he
It took everything in her to not punch him in the face. He had just insulted her and he was showing no clue that he knew he had, which indicated her even more. He had asked if she would be interested to tutor her, and she had asked him why she would, but she didn't expect him to insult her like that, telling her to name her price. “Who the hell does he think he was?” she thought as she sat there, looking at him. Soon, a sound of a spoon clattering to the table penetrated her thought and she jumped out of it. She definitely couldn't stay here any longer, listening to him talk like that, it was so annoying. "I knew you were an ass, I just didn't realize it was this bad.” She said, standing up, and then she started to walk out. Before she could completely get out of the space between the table and the chair they were occupying, Hailey's hand shot out suddenly to grab her wrist. "Where are you going?” she asked and Chloe scoffed. Why the heck was she asking her that when she had been r
After the day Chloe went with Hailey and Zach to get ice cream, she had made sure to absolutely avoid Zach but Hailey had not come to school the rest of a couple of days, and neither was she able to see her on the weekend. She was her best friend here, in fact, if she was being sincere, her only friend, without counting the two girls Hailey had introduced her to that day who had acted like she was lice on their hair and avoided eye contact, then avoided her after that. Must be the rumor going around school about her and what she allegedly did to Zach, but that was by the way, it wasn't what she wanted to talk about or think about. So here was a new day in a new week, and she was hoping to see Hailey. She was a bad friend, because she didn't know Hailey’s house, and would have even tried getting her address from someone, but that someone was someone she was avoiding. She had called her though, texted even, but there had been no reply whatsoever. Sighing, she took her book from her
“That was the longest class of my life,” Hailey said as soon as they walked out of class and Chloe lifted one of her brows in question. All periods were the same and there was no class with double periods or anything, so how was the class they had just came out of the longest? She knew something was up with Hailey, and it must have to do with something at home. She was going to wait until she was ready to talk, but she would have to ask her what was wrong. She grabbed her wrist and started to pull her toward the bathroom that was down the hall.“Where are you taking me though?” Hailey asked. “I'm taking you to the bathroom, Hailey. We have to talk.” Chloe said, pulling her into an empty shed. She put a finger to her mouth and shush her, then she locked the door and turned to face her. "What's going on, really?” she asked. Hailey frowned, looking at her with confusion, but she knew that was just a pretense. Chloe could see the thoughts turning around in her brain, thinking of what
At the cafeteria, Zach and his friends walked to Chloe and Hailey's table and sat with them. That was a first. Chloe sure wasn’t expecting that, but she would have to deal with it, only she wasn’t ready for any more drama. She was angry at Zach, and she would have that conversation with him later. Somehow, the principal had called her to her office at the end of the second period to ask her if she would be willing to tutor Zach in exchange for not registering her in the book club program like the geometry teacher wanted. She had been shoved in a corner, because the moment she started to shake her head, Principal Carly Wayne had mentioned how she remembered she needed to see her father because of how she had insulted the math teacher in front of the other students. Chloe knew at that moment that tutoring Zach was a do or let your father in on your disrespectful manner affair, so she had quickly nodded her head and promised to do just that. Who was he and why did he think that using
