First move

    "Time is over,pens down please"Mr.Wulper announced,i placed my pen down  then turned to Sahara who went on writing,her scarf was white today,that's new "Miss Hakim it would be nice if you put your pen down "Mr. Wulper's gaze fixed on our side,Sahara dramatically put her pen down,I turned to Sora who was relaxed on his seat"hope it's another A miss Hearthton" Mr.Wulper smiled then took Sahara's paper as if it was trash "What do you hope for me,sir,"Sahara smiled at him,he looked at her then walked away,Sahara is really good only that calculations are her problem,i don't know where the Egyptian blood lies,we were done with our test,i went to girls bathroom to change my pad,i heard people walking in laughing,"i missed you already"i knew that voice,i heard kisses,very disturbing kisses,i bended to from the bottom of the door,Charlotte was placed on the sink by lorry,they were making out,lorry removed Charlotte's lacy underwear and started kissing her thigh,"go lower" Charlotte begged"on my way"she went further,i tried to lift my head but the door opened, there were startled to see me on the floor "the fuck"lorry exclaimed,Charlotte sighed in disappointment,i stood and silently washed my hands making sure i don't i don't directly look at at them,Lorry walked out angrily,i turned and miss perfect was right behind me,"laugh at me just don't hold it back" she sassed "okay,hahaha,then what? ''I tried to walk away but she caught my hand,"don't even think about telling anyone because they won't believe you"she snapped "last time i checked dogs beg when it's necessary and bark when it's not,so which one is it?"i asked to be sure,she flipped her hair and turned to the mirror "no one will believe you anyway"i stood next to the door "that you are a lesbian?"i shrugged" don't you dare call me that" she warned "no one even cares here it was always you being judgey about everything,plus i would not waste my time spreading rumours about you being a lesbian"we heard the toilet flush and Judy,the school journalist got out,we all looked at her surprised "excuse me"she nervously smiled before exiting the bathroom "oops'' i walked out.

             "Mark is having a game this evening,let's support him"Hennessy said,i knew she used to have a fling with Mark but Mark says it's all over,I'm not sure "sure,You'll be there dc,right?"Sahara gave me the look "I'm not sure I have some place to go today"i told them "let me guess,FLUPE?"i laughed,i once took Sahara there,they sell all illegal edibles even for underage,you just need black eye card which you get from Fay,Nicole's best friend,she owns the place" what's flupe?"Hennessy asked "some place dc took me" Sahara boosted and Hennessy awarded her an eye roll,all this time lorry was silent "guys have you heard the rumour?"Casey,one of Charlotte's close friend joined us for lunch,we are always okay with her here "about Charlotte?,heard it" Hennessy said,then took a sip of her juice "what about her?,"Sahara asked as she ate her lunch,my eyes met lorry's,she then looked away,"that bitch is a lesbian after taunting Tatiana untill she had to leave Springfield "Hennessy spoke

"i thought she gets all your brothers dicks in her pit?"Casey turned to me "okay that's disgusting "i put down my fork "look who's talking"Hennessy didn't look at me as she spoke,"she is bisexual then"Sahara laughed "but that's jus a rumuor,right?"Mel,who had been silent all the time finally spoke,"i mean she is sexy and appealing so it will be easy for her to get a patner"she added,Mel was once miss perfect's bestie untill they started high school, she made a rumour about her and that'swgen the split"i heard from Judy that you know everything, just spit it out "Hennessy 's voice sounded fed up "Tell us DC"Casey begged,i saw Sora exiting the cafeteria "see you guys tomorrow "i quickly took my bag and walked out "atleast be there  during the game''Sahara shouted "i can't "i ran out

            He walked past the school hall and i followed him to the boys locker room then i lost him,i sighed and turned to leave he stood by the corner "Are you following me?''he smirked "i was wondering-maybe-if-you are free after school-we could-you know-perhaps hang out-or if you are busy,like i think you would be i could come  at your place and maybe-you know read and hang out"

"Is that an indirect invitation to my own bed?"

"No no--that's not it"

"Then you are asking me out?"

"I sound like a bitch right now "i whispered to myself,he laughed,people who passed gave us some wierd looks i get it a popular and a nerd ain't usual "i heard you are one"i didn't get it at first then it hit me "the f--oh God"i brushed my hair with my fingers "Are you really a nerd?"

"Are you even a dare crusher they say?"

"Yes,i am"

"Good then"

"Thank you,so you in?"

"Where?"

"God!"i breathed out heavily,the tension was too much for me "you must have let down your pride to come here,don't worry after the game we'll hang out "yes i forgot he is the team quarterback, he started walking to the boys' locker room  "but that will be almost dark"

"I heard the dark is your favourite time,if you really want to hang out with a nerd then you'll wait" he left "i hate you"that's a lie and I knew it,i turned  to leave but i met Lorry "never seen you nervous before"she smiled at me for the first time,i rolled my eyes "you are the one who is nervous Lorry,you think I'll tell Sahara"

"I know you won't but i don't know for how long "

"Why did you do that to Sahara you know she loves you,she always did" she sighed "i know that,you just don't understand " a laugh almost wanted to escape my lips how could these people think they are better than anyone else"what's the  better justification you could give right now ?"she was tense "look i needed the money okay,Charl's pays me for that,i pay my tuition fees and everything alone my sister has alot to handle and I'm not part of it,I'm not like you Claire Hearthton,your father is a billionaire and i don't even know mine"i was panicking anyone could see that "i know who your dad is  and---"

"Okay,stop don't use my father's name against me "

"I won't,I'm sorry i didn't mean to say that"

"How long have--"

"Since the first day you walked in " i walked away but she softly held my arm"hey,i love her too,i mean i love Sahara "i slipped my hand and walked away it was already too much drama for one day.

            The ground was noisy"boo!"i gasped Sahara startled me,i gave the 'grow up' look "you changed your mind and came for the game"she laughed,i rolled my eyes,Dion sat with Ginny,Charlotte's bestie, Charlotte is a cheerleader so i knew where  i could find her and yes there she was like nothing even happened,I'm surethe rumour  doesn't bother her" Mark was sad when he heard you weren't going to come but i guess this is big time"

"I came for my brother "

"Darren and Mark are on the same team"

"Whatever "

"I love you too" suddenly a short  guy with red hair wearing black shades and black tshirt sat next to me "want some?"he offered me some popcorn, i just shook,he smirked "your loss"both Sahara and i gave him a wierd look "and what are you exactly?"she asked "it's Timothy,buh people call me lil T"we looked away "you know lil T,like little  Timothy and that  lil--" Sahara took my hand and we went to the front benches most popular kids were there "this is why i hate sitting at the back"we both laughed,players walked in and people started cheering,Sora was wearing blue today "there he is!"Sahara pushed me as she screamed pointing at Mark "Mark!Mark!Mark!Mark!"she screamed  and Mark turned our way, he spotted me and smiled,i smiled back,"see he's happy you are here "Sahara slapped my back,Sora was also looking at me i smiled at him but he went on like he didn't see me,rude!the whistle was blown five minutes and the game began,the ball was thrown to Mark and he's teammates positioned in defence there was alot of banging and falling but one of the blues hit Mark hard that he fell and the were awarded"i don't understand rugby someone gets hurt and they don't award him points,this sucks"she drew out her straw and threw it away,it got Owen,the hottest senior in Springfield,Henessy quickly looked away and Owen spotted me,i quickly pointed at Hennessy and he laughed,"thank you so much"she snapped "you are welcome "i smiled the was a loud cheer and the blues won again "i have a feeling somebody is a bad omen"Sahara joked as she turned to me.

                By the end of the game the blues had won four points ahead,people cheered though it wasn't so much cheer since most popular lie in the red team,"you look happy and we lost"Hennesssy spoke as i picked up my bag "i wasn't the one playing so do me a favour and let me through "i wanted to leave early so I could meet Sora outside  school "where are you going?"Sahara gave me a confused look "home"i paced out before she could ask any more questions,i waited by the path he always used,it was dark i was scared untill i saw him,i leaned to look relaxed  "took you long enough" he was shocked with my presence "go home it's already late"he already looked bored seeing me "you don't like me,do you?"he gave me a nonchalant look "i don't have room for drama"he walked away i followed him "stop following me"but i didn't listen,he didn't use the subway today and it was getting darker and darker "stop following me,Claire"i don't get to hear my real name in people's lips so much "um--quick confession I'm scared of the dark ,so if you don't mind can you walk me to the subway"i laughed nervously,he looked at me as if i just stole something from him "I'm already home"

"No you are not we are on a dark alley"he walked few more sreps abd stopped at a paired terrain that looked worn out,he climbed the stairs and the door was opened before he could,there came out a familiar face, it was that man he was talking to at the subway "it's been long since you invited your girlfriends" girlfriends? there other girls who've been here,"come in" i gave him a blank look,he scoffed" I'll have to change before taking you to the subway so would you rather wait here or come inside" i got in,it wasn't much of a home,the lights were dim,it was too congested, i followed Sora to the end of the room,he didn't say a thing so we both got in,his room was,you know the most pleasant word could be boyish, i nean the clothes were scattered,rough working table,posters on the wall,wait the posters,one of the posters had his picture with two other guys 'street race rally' it was roughly written from the poster it was four months ago,February

"Let's go "he was already changed

"is this--"

"Yes now let's go"i sighed at his change of tone,i had put my phone on vibration but it seems to vibrate every minute,we walked out "what a useless lad"the man said on our way out "who--?''

"My uncle" i stopped,he did too "are you in a bad mood or am i a bother?"

"Both"his honesty was boring,i just nodded,we walked in silent "can i ask you for a favour?"

"Sure,anything "

"Can i kiss you?"we were almost at the subway so two options,answer him or just run away,i didn't answer him but he leaned to my neck,my breathing changed,our skins brushed and i could feel my hair stand at its end,i closed my eyes and nothing happened opening my eyes, i saw him trailing off,i exhaled i can't believe that got to me,he calls me a bother while I've been into him for the past months,what a bummer!though i kind of wish he kissed me but the fact of me being a bother to him really bothers me,i mean how can he  be so rude after all that trying to make a move Claire?" I heard Darren's voice, he had already changed to his casual, he hugged me "what  were you doing in those dark streets "still in his hug i switched on my phone and yes the location was on,i sighed and hugged him back "atleast someone cares"i whispered
