Welcome To The Competition [Degrassi FF]

Fourteen:

I made sure to act completely normal at dinner. Dad was pleased with what I bought for dessert. Not going to lie, it was probably the best chocolate cake I have ever had. As for how I slept, it was the worst night ever. I could not fall asleep and found myself crying throughout the night.

I forgot about bothering to try to fall asleep and around 5am took a shower. I found myself leaning against the wall letting the water flow over me. When I finally got out, a half hour later I didn't bother on doing anything to my hair. Not even drying it. I pulled on black skinny jeans, a Young Veins band t-shirt, black converses and a purple sweatshirt.

For makeup I just put on black eyeliner. I looked at the clock and thought now was a good time to head to school. I put on my hood then grabbed my back and keys. While walking out of the house I put my iPhone into my pocket.

I parked as far back in the parking lot as I could so I wasn't park near most students. When walking to the front door of the school I kept my hood on and my head down. I ignored everyone that I passed and rushed to my locker.

Eli and Clare were at his locker and my stomach churned. I power walked to my locker and opened it ignoring them as best as I could. I felt like I was going to be sick.

I was just about to shut my locker when someone pushed me into my lockers. I smacked them hard losing my breath.

"Hey back off," I heard Eli say and push myself away from my lockers and turn around to see a girl with dark curly hair.

"Shut up Eli this girl has messed with the wrong group of people," she snapped and it actually made me laugh. "You're lucky Fitz won't really hurt you but I might."

"Look Fitz and his friends jumped me. I didn't mess with anyone," I say defending myself.

"You punched him in the face and now he is suspended because of your stupid lesbian friend Adam," she rolled her eyes when she said the last part. She then looked at Eli. "And I thought you and Adam were cool. I guess I was wrong."

"He kissed me and I was defending myself. Leave Adam alone. What is wrong with being a lesbian?" I hiss and she started to laugh.

"Why are you defending that freak? Are you secretly a lesbian?" she cackled.

"I'm not secretly anything. You shouldn't just hate someone for being a lesbian," I rolled my eyes.

"So you are a lesbian," she spat.

I stare at her blankly then looked at Eli. He looked at me and I licked my lips to get his attention. I was trying to mentally tell him to kiss me. After a few seconds he smiled and stepped closer to me then actually kissed me.

I relaxed a bit and put my arms around him so it looked like I was into it. I did not have to act like I was into because I was. I wanted to kiss him. His lips were just as perfect to touch as to look at.

I pulled away and Eli had his eyes closed. I turned to look at the girl and she had a disgusting look on her face. "I'm not a lesbian," I say and look around her to see Fiona walk by. "Look hot stuff I have to go," I smile and walk around her and to Fiona. I looped my arm with hers and she just kept walking with a smile on her face.

"I would have stopped to say hi but I didn't want to bother you and Eli," she giggled.

"I'm not dating him or friends. I was just proving to that girl I'm not a lesbian," I mumble and Fiona looks at me confused.

"I thought you liked Eli?" she asked me.

"I do, a lot but I can't be friends with him, Clare or Adam. I just want to lay low and not really make friends. I think you are going to be my only friend," I tell her and she stops walking and looks at me.

"Is something wrong?" Fiona asked. Worry filled her voice. I looked away from her and shook my head. I ignored the question and just kept walking. She caught up with me easily and looped her arm back with mine. "Okay well if you are going to be around me actually try to look good for school," she jokes making me laugh along with her.
