Chapter 13

♡ Lauren’s POV ♡ The students lingering in the hall turned their heads to us. Anticipation was clear on their faces as they waited for the confrontation. I stared in horror as an angry Magee smiled at them. His stiff body strode towards me and within five seconds of his shout he was in front of me. He grabbed my arm, grabbed me tight, and pulled me into an empty classroom. I got a fright when the door slammed shut. I was pushed against the door and his arm was raised over my head to prevent anyone from entering. "Why did you hang up on me, Lauren? ""He asked a little more gently this time. His head was bent over my neck. His breath tickled my sensitive skin, and I gasped. I did not groan when he gave a gentle kiss where his lips touched. What's wrong with him? "I'm sorry I ended it so unexpectedly.” Panting, I pushed his shoulder away. It was of no use, for he was ten times my age, and there was no comparison of strength between us. He looked up and let his enchanting blue eyes search my Finger ones. He studied me for a moment, then frowned. "You know I don't like it when you lie to me.” He grunted, leaning forward, a breath away from my lips. My lips involuntarily parted, and my tongue glided out to moisten my suddenly dry lips. His eyes followed the movement, and I saw them go black. "I swear I'm not.” I murmured. "Oh, really, if I kissed you now, would you tell me you didn't like it? Because I personally think you're lying.” His eyes were full of mischief. His lips tingled as he spoke. In my life, I never thought Magee and I would be in this situation. The way he talked and looked at me made me think he really wanted to kiss me. What happened? Just yesterday, he hated my insides. I thought he said I was ugly, so why is he kissing me now? He and his friends must be up to something. Before I could answer, a teacher knocked at the door and told us to go out. Magee took one look and said it wasn't over yet. Magee put his hand on the door and I moved aside to let him open it. With his hands in his pockets, he went out first, whistling. Flustered and embarrassed, I mumbled an apology to the teacher, who looked at me like I had done something terrible, and I hurried to class. We must have stayed in that classroom for a long time, for the bell rang as soon as I sat down. The classroom was already full of students. They stopped and looked at me. As they watched, I shifted uncomfortably in my seat and braced myself not to panic. Some glared at me, some whispered to their friends. I turned around and scanned the students. I felt uncomfortable when my eyes fell on Polly, who was sitting behind Tracy. They stared at me with ferocious expressions etched into their faces. I gulped hard, then turned quickly and slid off my seat. It really doesn't work, because they can still see me. I could feel their eyes burning a hole in my back. The teacher was a little late, and I panicked inside. I know Tracy and Polly can get away with it now. My heart was pounding and I was soaking wet just thinking about them. As they approached me, the sound of heels hitting the floor grew louder. I winced as I felt them looming behind me. The hair on my neck stood up as their eyes burned my back. That caught my attention. I know that's Polly and Tracy. I could smell their perfume a mile away. It was very strong. "Hey, guys, look what we got here.” "They jeered in overly cheerful voices. I winced, but still stared ahead, away from everyone's prying eyes. By now, everyone's attention was on us, and some of us were daring to pull out their phones, ready to film what was about to happen. Tracy walks in front of me and crouches down so our eyes are level. She smiled and I couldn't help but glance at the lipstick on her teeth. "Oh, Polly, cats are going to throw up.” Tracy said in a baby voice, pinching my cheek hard. "Oh, Tracy, don't touch her. Who knows what that girl has? "Polly's voice was full of disgust. I turned to stare at her, and I saw a sour face. She wrinkled her lips in disgust as she reached into her bag for something "Lauren, you look a little flustered. This will calm you down.” "She laughed. She took a water bottle out of her bag, opened it, and poured all the water over my head. I gasp, the cold liquid running down my body, gasping pungent as it begins to seep into my bra. My violent movements rubbed the chair against the floor. Without even looking at them, I grabbed my bag, shoved them past and dashed out the door, letting them laugh at me. I went to the only place I could think of, which was the bathroom, and I locked the door behind me so I had no one to disturb me. I slid down the wall, whimpered, and burst into tears. I reached into my bag, took out my phone and decided to call my mother. She was the only thing that could cheer me up. Mother answered the phone when it rang for the second time. 'Haven't heard from you for a while, little girl! ” She said happily. Her voice immediately made me laugh, not cry. "Hey, mom, I'm sorry, I've been busy with a lot of homework.” My voice was hoarse with crying. "What's wrong, Lauren? ""She said in panic. I rolled my eyes. She always flutters too fast. "Nothing, Mum, just a sore throat.” I lied, bit my lower lip and prayed she didn't know I was lying "Have you had enough water, miss? ""Her soft voice cried. Wow, she really bought it. "Yes, Mother, I promise.” It's not a lie. I'm staying hydrated. "Shouldn't you be in class? "She accused me. Oh, shit! I forgot that she knew my class and when I had it. I should still be taking classes right now. Before I could answer, someone started knocking at the door and I was very upset. "Lauren, open the fucking door! ” Magee whispered. My eyes widened when he appeared. What the hell is he doing here? What's even weirder is how did he know I was here? It must be Terry, because he is in the same class with me today. "Lauren, who's that? ""Asked mom, puzzled. "Mom, I have to go, I'll call you back.” Before she could get a word in, I hung up. I put the phone in my bag and looked at the door, which was shaking slightly from Magee's violent impact. My hands trembled as I stood up to open the door.
