Chapter 4

June’s POV

I woke up to the sun shining in my eyes through the little gap in the curtains. I groaned as turned over to my side and grabbed my phone off charging. I look at the time, 6:23 am 'Not bad' I said t myself.

I got out of bed and stretched before grab a new pair of clothes and head to the bath room to do my usual routine.

After a few minutes, I left the bathroom and entered into my bedroom again to get all my things for school, including my phone.

Once I had gotten my belongings, I head downstairs and enter the kitchen. I looked around, seeing is anyone was up.

“Mum?” I said as i walked further into the kitchen to see no one, "Mum is probably still asleep", I said to myself, I grabbed a banana and headed out the door as I texted Selena to tell her I'm gonna walk it to school.

Selena : 'are you sure you want to walk it?'

June : 'yep'

Selena : 'is something wrong?'

I furrowed my eyebrows a little as I read that message. Why would she ask?

June : 'no. why do you ask?'

Selena : 'you normally hate walking to school ahaha'

June : 'no everything is alright! I just wanted to enjoy the weather since the sun isn't always out haha. that’s all!’

Selena : 'thats true lol. I have to go now my mum is telling me to get in the car. I'll see you in school'

June : 'Sure, see ya!!'

I sent the message and put my phone in my pocket, as I admired the surroundings around me. The birds tweeting, the heat of the sun hitting on to my face, the cloudless sky making the day look bright. I breathed in the fresh air and let out a small and content sigh.

'Nature never fails to impress me.’

I said in my head. I take my phone out of my pocket and open the weather app.

"Wow. It's gonna go to 20 degrees today!!" I exclaimed. It's very rare to get hot weather. Especially in the middle of September. I placed my phone back into my pocket and continue to admire my surroundings.

After a few minutes of walking, I reached school and go to my locker.

"June!!" I heard someone shout my name. I turned around and see Selena running up to me.

"Hey Selena!!" I replied with a smile. "What's up?"

"Nothing much." She replied "The weather is beautiful today!!" She exclaimed happily.

"Wow... I didn't know that." I told her sarcastically before chuckling.

"Oh shut up, June!" she laughed at me. The bell rang signalling the first lesson. We both walk to our History lesson together.

"I wonder where Blake and Cameron are." I said to Selena as I looked around intently for the two boys.

"Me too", she replied,” They probably might be coming late." She shrugged slightly.

"Mm probably." I said to her.

"Anyways let's get to History before Mr Jake get mad at us." She said before she dragged me too History class.

END OF SCHOOL

It's the end of school and the boys didn't even come. The weather was so beautiful!! How could they miss today?! I decided to walk back home to admire the weather. Selena left me to go to the car after I waved goodbye at her.

As I started to walk home, I decided to text Blake to see what was up.

June : 'hey blake!!'

I had to wait a few minutes till he saw my message and replied to it.

Blake : 'Oh hey, June'

June : 'how are you? you come didn't come to school today? the weather is so beautiful!!'

The little speech bubble popped up indicating he was typing. I waited a few minutes for him to write his message.

Blake : 'I know. It's just me and Cameron are ill at the moment. We didn't come to school because we didn't want to spread it to other people. That's why we didn't come.'

June : 'oh. well i hope you both get better soon!!'

Blake : 'thanks :)'

June : 'you’re welcome. '

READ 3:41 PM

He didn't reply after that. I decided to put some music on and enjoy the rest of the walk home.

One I reached home, I walked into the kitchen,

“Hey mum! I’m home!” I shouted to get her attention. As I walked further into the kitchen, I found a note on the fridge.

Hey honey,

Sorry I had to go meet your auntie. She's ill at the moment. I’ve left some fish pie in the fridge, feel free to have some. I will be back as soon as.

mum xx

I sighed sadly as I opened the fridge door and grab the fish pie. I walked over to the microwave, warming the pie up.

After it was warmed up, I sat myself down on the sofa and switched on the Netflix on the TV. I carried on watching Vampire Diaries. I got comfortable and began to watch the show to pass the time.

It was now 7 in the evening and it was dark outside. My mum still hadn’t come back from my aunties house. I heard a knock on the door, making me jump slightly. I paused the show and rushed to the door and opened it up.

"Hey mum you took a lo-", I looked at the person standing in front of me, “Oh.”, It wasnt my mum, “Hey Blake!"

"Hey June." he smiled at me.

'oh my god that smile makes my heart melt' I shake my head slightly to rid of those thoughts. I hardly even know him.

"Um... what brings you here? I thought you were ill." I asked, my eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Oh yeh. I'm... um feeling a lot better now and I just wanted to come and see you since I wasn't in school today." He replied to my question.

"Ok! Do you want to come in?" I gestured in the house, opening the door wider for him to enter.

"Yeh sure" he said as he stepped into the house. I closed the door behind me and I returned back on to the couch, sitting back in my spot.

"So how was school?" Blake looked at me as he asked.

"What kind of question is that?”, I looked at him confused as to why he’d even ask a question like that when he knew what the answer would be, “Obviously school is boring as fuck.” I chuckled. He laughed at my reply and nodded his head as an agreement.

"So how's Cameron?", I asked, “A certain someone was missing him today.”, I looked at him with a small smirk on my lips.

"He's good and who was missing him?" He asked sarcastically.

"Well, you’ll have to guess that." I said to him.

"Hmmm....” He thought for a few seconds, “was it you?" He looked at me with a little smirk on his pale face.

"Um no.”, I shake my head with a laugh, “What makes you think it was me.”

"You're the only girl I think about", he mumbled, enough or me to hear what he said.

"Huh." I asked, looking at him confused.

"I- I mean you’re the only girl I thought who-who would miss Cameron." he said. I looked at him confused but nodded anyways. I didn't understand what he said but I'm just gonna have to use my good acting skills to pretend I understood what he said.

"Oh.”, I laughed, “No, I wasn't missing him." I laughed at him. He chucked nervously whilst scratching the back of his neck.

"It was my friend Selena.” I answered my own question, “She was sulking all day today because Cameron didn't come to school." I chuckles, completely outing her.

"Oh.” He looked at me surprised, “Does she like Cameron or something?" Blake asked.

"I actually don't know.”, I confessed with a small shrug, “I've tried getting the truth out of her but she won't admit it." I laughed a little.

Suddenly the front door opens and closes. We both look at the living room door to see who had entered.

"Sorry honey I'm-" My mum walks in sorting

out her hair and stops talking to looks at Blake sat on the couch, "Oh who's this young gentleman here?" She asked, looking at me then back at Blake.

"Oh mum, this is Blake.” I introduced her to him, “Blake, my mum" I said, pointing to my mum who was stood in the door way.

"Hi June’s mum. I'm Blake." He stands up from the couch and smiles politely at her.

"Hi Blake.” He smiled at him before she looked at me, “June, you didn't tell me you were gonna invite a friend over." She looked back at Shawn then back at me.

"Oh, I'm sorry.” Blake apologied, “I just came to drop by and ask June for my homework. I wasn't in school today so I told her to get my homework for me and I would drop by later to pick it up." he lied.

"Oh, that's ok then." The air was filled with awkward silence. We all just stared at each other.

“Would you-“

“I-“

Both my mum and Blake spoke over each other before apologising to each other.

“What were you going to say?” Blake asked my mum.

“Oh. I was just wondering if you wanted to stay for late dinner?” She asked looking over at Blake.

"Oh um... thanks for the offer ma’am but I have to go.”, He politely declined, “My mum and dad are probably waiting for me." my mum nods agreeing, “I shall join you both some other time for sure.” He smiles.

"Um... I'll show you out." I offered as I waked to the front door. I opened the door and Blake went out and stood in front of it.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow in school?" I asked him as he stood in front of me. He gives me a small nod.

"Yep, probably if Cameron is feeling good." he said with a small shrug and smiled at me, "I have to go now. Bye." he waved at me before walking out the garden.

The moon shone on his pale face and dark brown curly hair. I watched his figure become smaller as I closed the door and rested against it.

"So," my mum says to me as she enters the hallway with a smirk on her face. I quick let straightened up and cleared my throat, "you didn't tell me about your boyfriend" I rolled my eyes at her assumption.

'when will people stop thinking he's my boyfriend?!'

"Mum, he's not my boyfriend!! He's just a friend that’s all. He only just started school yesterday.” I admitted, “And plus, I'm not gonna get a boyfriend. Not after what happened last time to me." I sighed not wanting to think about my first and last relationship.

"Well, just give this guy a chance. I think he likes you. Especially by the way he looks at you." She says smiling sympathetically at me.

"Mum, I'm not giving anyone a chance.”, I shake my head, “And I told you. I'm not getting a boyfriend! Not after what happened in the past."

"What if he's different?" My mum said, like she knew if he was different.

"Mum, all boys are the same! They just use girls for joy and end up breaking their hearts.” I admit, “I'm not going through that again. I highly doubt he'll be any different from any other guy to walk this world." I rolled my eyes and sighed, “I’m tired. I’m going to sleep now.” I walked up the stairs to my bedroom before my mum could say anything and to get away from this argument. I closed the door to my bedroom and sat on my bed thinking.

'I can't give him a chance to use me and break my heart. He's gonna be exactly like him. I'm not going through that again.'

I groaned as I got changed into some pyjamas and laid on my bed, looking up at the ceiling before letting my mind drift into my subconscious.
