Chapter 24

♡ Lauren’s POV ♡ After the guy stopped being his dramatic self, I went back to studying. Five minutes later, the bell rang for the next class. I started packing my things and savoring the moment. I really hope those guys go first. When everyone left, I started walking to class, too. As soon as I came into school, there were students Shouting around two guys. What the hell is going on? To get a better look at them, I pushed past many students and got myself in front of everyone. I was shocked to see Magee and the guy I hit with the ball have one of the worst fights I've ever seen. The guy's face was covered in blood and Magee's nose looked broken. Weren't they practicing football on the pitch a few minutes ago? What happened to them to end up beating each other up? I gasped in horror when that guy punched Magee in his handsome face. He retaliated by knocking him down with one of his own blows. Magee gets on top of him and punches the guy until he passes out. Why didn't someone stop him! Why don't I know the guy's name? I mean, he's been bullying me. As if my prayers had been answered, Magee's best friend Terry came over and pulled Magee away from the guy. He whispered something to him that made Magee look up and look straight at me. His face stared blankly at me. I winced as blood poured from his nose. But the other guy was at his worst, and you barely recognized him. Magee really looks like a crazy person now. Furious, he pushed everyone aside and headed for the locker room. Terry followed him, mumbling something incoherent. Terry is the only person I can say is friends with Magee. Yeah, he had other friends, but Terry was like peas and carrots. Terry and I never had a problem, and although he never participated in the bullying, he never stopped it. He was a 6 '1 "muscular man with shaggy blond hair and baby blue eyes. He's one of the hottest boys in the school. But for me, no one can beat Magee when it comes to looks. Terry is what you might call a bad boy who has done everything from smoking on campus to vandalizing buildings. He got away with it because his parents are millionaires, but not as rich as Magee. You may wonder why Magee's parents allowed Terry to be such a bad influence on him, but it's because their parents are best friends. He may have been a bad boy, but from the years I knew Terry, he always stood by Magee, no matter what. They support each other. I must be crazy because I'm the only one standing in the hallway staring at where Magee and that guy fought. I pulled my bag closer to me and headed toward the classroom. I opened the door and everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me. The teacher who was disturbed by my entry into the classroom glared at me and pursed her lips in disgust. 'I'm sorry, miss, I've been kept --' I told her. "Miss Finger, if you're late for class again, stay out! ” "She said angrily, her glasses about to fall off her face. "Yes, ma 'am.” Your class is boring anyway. Sitting in the back seat, I looked at the person sitting next to me. Is Vicky. She looked at me with a sneer on her face. Her eyes suddenly turned mischievous. She cleared her throat with a smile and raised her hand. "Lady, Lauren just farted! ” "She exclaimed. Everyone looked at me and smiled. I felt embarrassed and tried to speak with my mouth. 'No, I didn't! ” I cried in shame. "Yes, you did! You can even smell it! ” She shouted back, making everyone laugh even harder. "What! No, I didn't.” I stammered in embarrassment. I didn't fart, but WHEN everyone pointed it out as if it were true, I felt humiliated, not to mention ridiculed stares. "Keep telling yourself that.” She snorted. "Shut up, both of you! ” Said Miss Wendy, preventing me from answering Vicky. "Lauren, the next time you want to fart, please go outside.” She looked angry and said. . . That teacher really doesn't like me. "But Miss --" I tried to be reasonable. "I don't want to hear it. Shut up and pay attention! ” "Cried Miss Wendy. I felt flustered and stared blankly at the blackboard. I could still feel the eyes staring at me, and sank deeper into my seat. Vicky smiled at me with hatred and mockery in her eyes. What's wrong with this bitch? Can she be more immature? I was in seventh heaven when the bell rang. I quickly packed up my things and rushed out of the classroom. This is my last class, so I don't have to worry about meeting Polly or her gang for the rest of the day. Too bad I had to see Vicky. I was only a few steps away from my dorm when my phone started ringing. I took the phone out of my bag and answered it. "Lauren, why didn't you call me back? ""My mother shouted. "I'm sorry, Mom, I forgot.” I sighed. "You always forget.” "She whispered. "Oh, mom, don't say that, you know I'm busy, but I still have time for you.” I told her and opened the door and entered the room. I took off my shoes and walked to my bed. "It doesn't seem like it lately," she whispered. "Mom, please, I've been through a lot these last few days. Can we not talk about this today? "I jumped into bed and said I was comfortable enough to fall asleep. "What have you been through, is that boy still bullying you? ""She asked anxiously. "Actually, we want to be friends.” I told her. "I don't trust that kid, Lauren, and IF his parents weren't so rich and could get away with everything, I would have done something about it. I don't like to see you depressed.” She grunted angrily. "It's all right, mom, he looks like he's changing his ways.” As the words dropped out of my mouth, I realized I didn't actually know if I had made the right choice. "Be careful, Lauren.” "She warned. "I will, Mom, I promise.” I rolled my eyes in her protectiveness. "Anyway, how are Simon and Bella? "She asked. I smiled when I mentioned my friend's name.” Oh, those idiots are good, I met naked Simon again.” "Oh dear. . . That fellow is something else.” "She laughed. Now everyone is used to Simon. "He is, isn't he? I said with a smile. "Honey, where are you? ""Said a man's voice over the phone. I raised my eyebrows in confusion.” Mom, who's that? " "Honey, I'll call you back," she said quickly before hanging up, before I could get in touch. I looked at the phone in shock, not knowing what to do. Seconds later, I get a text from Magee asking to meet him at his penthouse. Oh, I forgot.
