Chapter 5 You can't Be serious

I returned to school on Wednesday I'd threw up all of yesterday he'd been texting me all day and I'd told him I had a hangover form hell and I wouldn't be in school so he never stopped texting me he said he would give me the work I missed out on when I returned. I couldn't tell him I was grounded he'd have a fit of hysterics before telling me to go against my mom and he'd be more pissed when I told him I could no longer see him. I was in so much shit right now.

His friends were stood in a group when i enters the hall way I hadn't told him I was returning to school truth is my mom made me she said one day off was enough to take off to recuperate from my hangover which she had no sympathy for and she told me I had to tell Cole that I was no longer going to hang with him or I'd be grounded for life.

He looked up at me shocked. I smiled briefly at him. He nodded smirking. 'Ariel.' Laura shouted running giving me a hug.

'Nice to see you to BFF.'

'I heard what happened. What were you thinking Ariel?'

'I guess I wasn't.' I admitted.

'You were lucky you didn't end up in hospital or worse.'

'I know.'

'I guess your mom wasn't too pleased.'

'Not really. She wants me to stay away from Cole.'

'I can't say I blame her. He's dangerous Ariel. Everyone's scared of him and so are you.'

'I know.' I sighed.

'You have to stay away from him for your own good Ariel.'

I knew she was right but I don't think he would see it like that. I needed to tell him I couldn't keep holding back hoping it would go away cause it wouldn't. I had made my mind up I didn't want to be like him I would never want to be like him ever.

We walked into the large building as the bell went. I hadn't seen Cole since I walked into school this morning. I needed to talk to him he wasn't going to be happy. But I needed to be straight with him.

'Hey Ariel.'

'Paige.'

'My brother is having a party Friday it's at the beech house he asked me to invite my friends would you like to come?'

'I'd love to, bit I'm grounded.'

She laughed hard I've never been grounded in all my life.'

'Just sneak out I'm sure you'll get used to it now you're friends with Cole.'

'That's what got me in this mess in the first place.'

'Tell your mom you're staying at mine all the others are.'

'Okay.'

'Sweet pack you bag and we'll drop it off at mine. We'll get changed there and head off to the party.'

'Okay.'

'Don't forget your bag tomorrow Ariel we'll all be going straight to mine aft school okay.'

'Okay.'

'I'll see you tomorrow.'

'Okay.'

She walked away and I continued down to the dinning hall, getting my lunch sitting down Cole slid in next to me his friends circled around us. 'I didn't think you'd be back yet we'll listless the Til tomorrow.'

'Mom threw me out. She said I was over the hangover and was ready to coem back to school.'

He nodded. 'We're hanging out at Jay's tonight I'd like you to come.'

'Sorry no can do.'

He scowled at me. Excuse me?! Did you Just decline my invitation?'

'I did.'

His friends looked up as if to say oh oh you just didn't do that. 'You can't be serious?!'

He squeezed my knee that hard I yelped. Everyone turning looking at us. He glared at them. 'What the fuck are you looking at? This is a private conversation fuck of and get back to your lunch.'

They all snapped their heads away to continue eating. His stare landing on me. 'May I ask you why?'

'You may. But yo may not like my answer.'

'Tell me Ariel there no time for fucking games.' He said angrily.

'I'm grounded.'

His friends balled over in laughter. He ignored them.

'And I can no longer hang out with you.'

Their laughter stopped.

'I beg your fucking pardon? Did you just say you were no longer aloud to hand out with us?'

I swallowed hard. 'My mom doesn't like you.' I said boldly which didn't sit to well with him.

'Well that's tough isn't it Ariel?'

I looked at him confused.

'I don't listen to people especially parents and those that get in the way.' He paused. 'Me and you all of us are hanging I don't care what your mom says or anyone else for that matter.'

'Bu..'

'No buts Ariel, We are doing this end of. I'll see you by the gates. He took his hand off my knee kissing my cheek. 'Later Ariel.'

With that they all got up and left. I was in so much shit I couldn't handle this.
