I wasn’t even listening to what Bella had been saying.

Two days now, i haven’t been myself, two days since Alan raped me mercilessly in the kitchen with no one to hear my cries.

“So what do you think, Tasha?”. Bella asked.

“The other one”. I told her.

“I know right”. She continued chattering.

I sighed, at least he’s gone for now. Early this morning, Mum drove him to college along with his belongings and I hope he will never come back.

“Hey girls”. Harley said walking over to meet us in the study hall.

“Harley!!”. Bella called smiling.

Harley faced her chair to meet us as she sat on it.

“So what are you girls doing this friday?”. Harley asked.

“You know this friday is the after games party right”.

“Yeah, I know that”. Harley replied. “Are you both going?”.

“I am but Tasha isn’t, boring am I tight?”.

I poked Bella. “I’m your best friend, you are not allowed to call me boring”.

“Oh please”. She said with an eye roll. “I wonder how we became best friends”.

“Why are you not coming for the party?”. Bella probed me.

“I’m not into parties”.

“Come on, Tasha. Its just one party”. Bella pleaded.

I gr0×ned. “Like I said before, i’m not going”.

“Hey Coz”. Reece walked over. “Nat”.

I frowned. “Its Natasha to you”.

“I love calling you Nat”. His eyes twinkled.

“And I love it when you are not around”. I retorted.

“I’ll fulfill your wish then”. He tugged Harley. “Come on, Harley, we need to talk”.

“I’ll be right back, girls”. Harley stood up and followed Reece.

“He’s totally into you”. Bella said immediately.

“I thought we were done with this topic”. I said tiredly.

“Why can’t you see it, Tasha?”.

“Because I don’t want to”. I replied frustratingly. “I don’t have the time for boy problems okay?”.

She rolled her eyes. “You are so boring”.

“What am I hearing about boy problems?”.

“Hey Jeremy”.

He sat on the table. “Spill”.

“Bella here”. I pointed at her. “She keeps disturbing me with the fake fact that Reece likes me”.

“Umm, hello. Its the truth”. Bella replied.

“Even if Reece likes Natasha, she doesn’t like him”. Jeremy stated.

“You don’t know that”. Bella faced me. “So, Tasha, do you like__”.

“No, I don’t”. I said interrupting her. “I do not like Reece”. I said.

Bella huffed angrily. “You just don’t know it yet”.

“Natasha said she doesn’t like him and thats final”. Jeremy said.

“Jeremy is right”. I agreed.

I looked at Jeremy and noticed a wave of relief in his eyes. Weird.

“So back to the party topic”. Bella started.

I gr0×ned. “Can you please stop talking about that?”.

“Nope”. She said popping the ‘p’.

Jeremy stood up. “I guess I should leave you two with your girly stuff”.

I held his palm. “Jeremy, please stay”.

“Fine”. He sat down. “But only because you asked me to”.

I smiled. “At least I need someone who doesn’t fill my eardrums with party talks”.

“Why did you call me here?”. Harley inquired as we walked into the class.

“We need to talk”. I told her.

“I’m listening”.

“We still need to figure out who placed the bet on Nat, remember?”.

She sighed. “I told you yesterday, it was Alan”.

“But are you sure? She is his sister”.

“Alan does things without caring who he hurts”.

“But his sister? Isn’t that a little too extreme?”.

She scoffed. “We are talking about the same guy who tried to murder me”.

“That was all your fault”.

She gawped. “My fault?”.

“I clearly warned you about him but you were just so deceived by his charming talks”.

“Excuse me for not listening to you, Mum”. She said sarcastically.

“Sorry okay?”.

“Look there’s a different matter we need to focus on”.

I raised an eyebrow. “And that is?”.

“The party, dammit”. She snapped at me.

“What party?”.

“The after games party”.

“Is there something I need to be worried about?”. I asked curious.

“I’m sure most guys would be there to try to get Natasha”.

“If thats what you are worried about then fine I’ll come for the party to protect her”.

“What are you now? Some kind of superman”. She teased me.

I gr0×ned. “Harley”.

“Sorry”. She apologized. “Protect Natasha, got it”.

“But you know i still haven’t figured out that Alan stuff”.

“Okay fine, you go do that while I’ll inquire more about the party from Matt”. She explained.

“And try to squeeze more information this time around”.

“Please please, Tasha”. Bella pleaded as she clasped her hands in front of her.

“For the 10th time, nope”. I replied.

She gave me the puppy dog eyes. “Tasha, come on”.

“Help me out here, Jeremy”.

“Bella ..”. Jeremy started.

“Tasha, please. Its just one party”.

Jeremy looked at me. “I tried my best”.

I sighed and closed my books. “Isabella, i don’t like parties”.

Parties are full of stupid loud music, lots of alcohol, demoralized teenagers and people passing out everywhere. Staining placed with their stinking vomit.

“Why?”. She whined. “I’ll keep disturbing you until you give in”.

Jeremy shrugged smiling a little. “I guess you have to go, Love”.

I sighed. “Okay fine, I’ll come”.

“Yes”. Bella jubilated around on her seat.

“She said yes because of me”. Jeremy bragged grinning.

I laughed. “Keep telling yourself that”.

“Girls, I’m back”. Harley said walking towards us. “Jeremy scoot”.

“I’ll leave you guys”. Jeremy pecked me on my cheek. “Bye”.

He held his backpack and walked to his teammates in the study hall.

“So ..”. Harley sat down. “What did I miss?”.

“Tasha said yes, so we are going to the party”.

Harley squealed excitedly. “For real?”.

“Yep”. Bella answered.

“We should definitely go shopping for party clothes together”. Harley said facing us.

“I love shopping”. Bella chirps happily.

I shook my head. “No way”.

“Yes way”. Bella responded.

I grunted. “I already said yes to the party, what more do you want?”.

“Shopping!!”. They both say together.

I hate shopping, walking through aisles looking for the perfect clothes stresses me out a lot.

Harley faced me. “Why don’t you like shopping?”.

“Natasha is boring at fashion”. Bella told her. “All she ever wears is her hoodie, long sleeved shirts, always covering up her skin”.

I shrug, my mood turned dim as Bella reminded me of the reason I always wear long sleeved shirts.

I tugged at my shirt covering my arms, two nights ago when Alan did that to me. I had resisted a lot and he beat me up like the psychopath he is.

I have a lot of bruises on my arm and back, i’m grateful that my shirts can cover that but it can’t cover the pain within.

“Girls”.

I looked up to see Andrew Pitts.

Harley crossed her arms. “What do you want, Andrew?”.

“I’m not here for you Harley”. He smirks. “I came to see Natasha”.

“Me?”. I asked in disbelief.

“Yes you”. He looks at me. “Can we talk?”.

Harley crossed her arms. “What do you want, Andrew?”.

“I’m not here for you Harley”. He smirks. “I came to see Natasha”.

“Me?”. I asked in disbelief.

“Yes you”. He looks at me. “Can we talk?”.

“Natasha isn’t going anywhere with you”. Harley continued.

Andrew gr0×ned. “Harley, can you please not interfere?”.

“Harley is right”. Bella butted in. “If you have anything to say to Tasha, say it here”.

“Wow, Natasha, you sure do have faithful sidekicks”. Andrew said sarcastically.

I crossed my arms. “Why are you here, Andrew?”.

“Nothing, you should worry your pretty head about”.

“If you nothing to say then scoot away”. Harley snapped at her.

He smirked. “See you at the party friday night. Natasha”. He said and walked away.

“I have a weird feeling about this”. I said nervously.

“Yeah”. Bella agreed. “That Andrew is a creep”.

“Just forget him, nothing is gonna happen”. Harley assured me.

“I don’t know”. I sighed. “Maybe going to this party friday night was a bad idea after all”.

“Hey!!”. Bella protested. “Don’t say that”.

“Just clear all negative thoughts”. Harley tells me.

I nod still unsure.

“So back to the shopping issue”. Bella continued.

I gr0×ned. “I thought we were way past that”.

“We need to go shopping, you don’t expect us to go naked to the party”. Bella joked.

“Yeah whatever”. I said with an eye roll.

“So when are we going shopping?”.

“Probably tomorrow just before the games on friday”. Bella explained.

“Fine with me”.

The bell rang immediately signaling lunch break.

“Finally”. I said and stood up.

I packed my books and placed them in my backpack pulling the zipper close before walking out of the study hall along with Bella and Harley.

“You guys should go along, I wanna do something first”. I told them.

“See you at cafeteria”. Bella replied as she linked arms with Harley walking away.

I went to the restroom and stepped in closing the door behind me. I dropped my backpack on one of the stands.

I began checking each of the cubicles but they were all empty. Thank goodness.

I went back to the large mirror and took off my long sleeved grey shirt, red and green traces of the beating was still visible.

I checked my arms and wrists too, they were still looking bruised. I went to my backpack and zipped it open looking for my makeup kit.

I just hope this is the last time I’m using this.

I took out the concealer from the kit, this is what I usually use to hide my bruised wrists each time I get beaten up.

I applied a little of it on my wrists making sure it toned the bruises then I dropped it back in the kit.

I looked at my tummy in the mirror, no need using concealer, my shirt covers it enough.

I took my shirt and wore it back quickly before anyone comes in and sees the bruises. I shoved the makeup kit back in my backpack and zipped my backpack close.

I packed my hair into a ponytail and splashed some water on my face trying to lighten up a little bit.

After I was dome with everything, i took my backpack slinging it over my shoulder and walked to the door unlocking it.

I breathed in deeply before I turned the knob and walked out of the restroom.

I look around as I walked through the school hallway, i hope no one saw me. I notice students all around me are chatting happily. Lucky them.

Everyone is looking tan and some of them are unrecognizable with their hair in different colors. Some lost weight while others gained weight.

Its fascinating how a single summer can change a person this much. Although its just the third day since we resumed, i know everyone will go back to normal sooner or later.

I began heading to the cafeteria when I feel a hand grab me and pull me along to a nearby classroom. I quickly hit and pushed the person away.

He gr0×ned falling onto the floor.

“Reece”. I called surprised.

“Did you have to hit me that hærd?”.

“Its not my fault”. I defended myself. “You were the one who sneaked up on me”.

“I was trying to surprise you”. He sat up still on the floor.

“Sorry I ruined the horrible surprise”. I said sarcastically.

“Well help me up”. He stretched his hands towards me.

“Just get up”.

“I can’t”. He pouted. “You broke me”.

I sighed frustratingly and took his hands to pull him up but he dragged me down on him instead.

“Reece!!”. I yelled.

“You know I like this position we are in but it would be much better in bed”. He teased me.

I tried to get up feebly but I fell back on him. What the f×¢k!!

I was on him and his face was so close, like inches away. I felt my heart beating rapidly like I was nervous, wait, why am I this way?

I stared at his eyes, his golden brown eyes which was heavily fringed with thick dark lashes. My eyes trailed back to his l-ips, his natural pink l-ips. How would it taste?

Snap out of it, Natasha. Boys are no good.

I held on to his chest trying to stand up, it was obvious that his chest was perfectly built.

Damn!! Why does he have to look more handsome right now?

“Are you done drooling?”. He snapped me out of my thoughts.

“No .. I mean, .. I wasn’t”. I stuttered nervously.

He raised his eyebrow and he looked cute while doing that.

I cleared my throat standing up quickly, he got up too in an swift motion.

“If you can get up yourself then why all that drama of me helping you up on your feet”. I said angrily.

“At least I got the opportunity to see you drooling over me”. He teased me.

“I wasn’t drooling”. I argued faintly.

“Yeah right”. He winked at me. “You were giving me those creepy stares wondering on how you could k×ss me”.

“We are not talking about this right now”.

“Is Nat angry at me?”. He said in a baby voice.

I sighed. “Why did you drag me in here, Reece?”.

“I want to show you something cool”.

“Pranking is not cool”. I told him off.

He paused. “Wait, how did you__”.

“You are right, Reece, how did I know?”. I pretended to think. “Oh wait, you are Reece Carter, Madison High one and only prank king”. I said interrupting him.

“Thank you for the introduction”. He said with a mock bow.

I rolled my eyes. “Just get on with why I’m here”.

“I need to show you__”.

I cut him off. “Something cool, i get it, lets go on with it”.

He smiled and held my hand suddenly pulling me along with him through the school hallways.

“Umm, Reece, the stares”. I whispered.

“Ignore it, they are a bunch of meddlers”.

“Okay but can you tell me where you are taking me to?”. I asked curious.

He didn’t reply, he just pulled me into a narrow hallway that I’ve never seen before.

“Wow, where does this lead to?”.

We finally came out of the hallway and landed in a place full of cars.

“Where is this?”.

“Teachers parking lot”. He said with a grin.

“Reece?”. I looked at him. “What do you plan on doing?”.

He removed his backpack and zipped it open bringing out two cans of spray paint.

“No, no, no way”. I objected.

“Come on”. He pleaded. “Its my biggest prank yet and I want you to do it with me”.

“I might get expelled”. I said in a frantic whisper.

“Have I been expelled?”. He asked sarcastically.

“But this is teachers car, how about we just do it on our classmates car?”.

“This is gonna be epic”. He told me.

“But__”.

“Nat, come on. Just break all boundaries and forget the consequences”.

“The problem is, there are consequences”.

He stared at me. “Nat, come on, you will love this”.

Gosh!! Him looking at me that way with his golden brown eyes makes me go weak.

“Okay fine”. I gave in.

He threw a can at me and I caught it.

“What kind of spray is in here?”. I asked him.

He smirked. “Permanent kind”.

I gasped. “What?!!”.

He ran towards the cars with the can in his hand and began spraying each and every one of them.

Come on, remember Natasha, break the boundaries. Beside I haven’t done anything fun in like forever.

I went to where Reeve was and followed him in spraying the cars.

“Woo ooh”. I shouted while spraying the cars.

“Thats the spirit”. Reece yelled.

I smiled as I joined him in spraying faster.

“This is so damn awesome, i get now why you like pranks”. I told him.

He laughed and i must admit, it made him look cute.

After like some minutes, he stopped me.

“We gotta run”. He whispered.

We threw the spray cans away and took our backpack running out through the narrow hallways before going into the normal school hallways.

“That was f×¢king awesome”. I squealed excitedly.

“Shhh, keep it quiet”. He shushed me.

I chuckled quietly along with him as we walked info the cafeteria.

We went to sit over with Bello who was sitting with Harley and Jeremy.

“You took long enough”. Bella said.

“Sorry, i had something important to do”. I lied.

“Were you both together?”. Jeremy asked looking at us.

Harley faced me. “Let me guess, that dumbs of a cousin made you do something”.

“Well ..”. I started.

“Attention”. I heard the speakers in the cafeteria say. Probably the principal or a random teacher.

“Coz, relax, we didn’t do anything bad”. Reece said relaxing on his seat.

“Natasha Williams and Reece Carter please report to the principal’s office”. I heard the speaker say.
