comment and I visibly sank down in my chair to dip out of his line of sight.
“ Well if I told you that I’m sure my girlfriend would probably kill me. If you think that’s impressive; you should see my back!” The boys all started whistling and cheering while I blushed even more and covered my eyes with my hand.
Why would he do this? I couldn’t believe Jamie just said that out in front of the whole class! I didn’t even remember doing anything to his back. I desperately wanted my seat to open up in to a hole and swallow me down, deep in to the Earth’s core.
“ Mr Matthews has a girlfriend?” whispered Lily.
“ I’ve no idea! I didn’t think so. He’s never mentioned anyone.” I really had no idea if he had a girlfriend and I felt dumb for not asking him.
“ What a snake! As if he has a girlfriend and goes around flirting with other girls.” If he did have one, it wasn’t just flirting he was guilty of and I felt awful.
When the bell rang I felt too humiliated to stick around; I didn ’t bother to pack my bag, I just grabbed my things and ran to wait outside for Lily. Lily had mentioned that her parents were working late and mine usually did anyway so I tagged along with her to study for a while.
Jamie kept messaging me and I had to switch my phone to completely silent as Lily kept asking who was trying to contact me , I lied saying it was my parents. I was still angry at him for embarrassing me in class; I knew no one knew he was on about me, but it still left me uneasy. I quickly checked through the messages he’d left for me.
From Jamie: Hey where did you go? I was talking to someone about their revision and I turned around and you had gone! - J X
From Jamie: Are you ok Baby? I miss you x
From Jamie: Look, I get it, you’re mad at me. Can you just tell me you are ok and got home safely? I’m worried about you especially after everything with Lucas. Please just tell me you are ok x
From Jamie: Olivia , I still have your parents’ numbers. DO NOT make me use them to check up on you.
I sighed and replied to him , I didn’t want him to worry and I certainly didn’t need my Mum or Dad asking why my teacher was checking up on me like that.
To Jamie: I ’m fine, I left with Lily. I’m at her house studying.
From Jamie: Glad you are ok. I didn ’t mean to upset you Liv x Call me when you get home x
I left shortly after sev en; I was so tired and needed to get home to bed. I set off walking with an odd feeling at the back of my mind that I was being watched. I glanced around but couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary, just a couple of kids playing and a guy dressed in a sharp suit, studying his phone, looking like he was on his way home from the office. My feet stumbled slightly as he looked up at me and I took in his handsome face. I shook myself mentally. Not enough sleep and Lucas with his stupid vendetta weighing on my mind was playing tricks on me, making me feel crazy. I decided to call Jamie like he asked me to, feeling a little more secure to have contact with someone as I walked.
“ Hey, baby” he answered.
“ Hey, you ok?”
“ Not really, I’ve been worrying about you since you disappeared! I thought Luke maybe…”
“ No I’m ok. What you said to David pissed me off and I’m so tired that I couldn’t shake it. I’m just on my way home now and going straight to bed.”
“ No more late nights for you then!”
“ I don’t mind late nights, it’s the early morning and long day that follows that I can’t handle! So sorry, no goodnight kisses for you tonight” I giggled. “I’m home now” I yawned. “One sec… Stay there.” I walked in the living room to see mum and dad cuddling on the sofa watching a film.
“ Hey guys, I’m home.” I said to my parents. “I ate at Lily’s so I’m off to bed now.” Mum lifted her hand from my dad’s stomach to wave to me and Dad looked around to face me, he looked shocked to see me.
“ Are you ok Liv? You
