Chapter 3: 'She's a Slut' 'Who Cares'

Shelby

"We can't keep this to ourselves Megan, for fuck sake!" I screamed at her, my hands covered in mud and my head pounding from hurting so much.

"We aren't going to tell anyone! Do you know what my parents would do?!"

You have no idea what they'd do to me if they find out, and to you too!" She screamed back at her, her blue eyes full of both anger and worry.

Megan's parents were the richest and most respected  people within the whole town. Her father was an Anaesthesiologist and her mother, was part of the council. You'd think with all the money that they had, and considering the way Megan acted that they would probably let off a bit of stem, but being the most respectable family within the community had gotten to their head. They had no idea what type of shit Megan was into, especially this. I dreaded going over to Megan's when they were there, so I understood her worry, I couldn't even imagine what they would do to her if they found out.

"Meg, we have to tell someone this isn't right" I tried to reason with her.

"Shelby shut the fuck up! You may not have been there that night but you sure as hell had no problem with being involved before than" she said silencing me.

"Now you're gonna help me find this guy, and then we're never gonna speak about this again, ok?"

"Ok?!" She shouted

"Shelby!"

"Shelby!, are you ok?" Danny said shaking my arm and bring me out of my trance.

"Yeh I'm fine" I replied still looking into nothingness.

Receiving a note which basically accused me and others of being involved in Megan's disappearance wasn't what I had in mind when I came in today. I don't know whether I was more confused or worried. Confused as to how anyone could know about Megan's secrets  and worried that anyone will find out what happened that night.

"Haz, which one of your girlfriends or boyfriends did you piss off for them do this?" Kyle said, attempting to lighten the mood.

We had all came into the little chemistry room no one ever used it, and we knew we wouldn't be disturbed. I let my eyes linger on Harry for a few moments, trying to gage his reaction from emerging. Trying to see if anything had made him not his uneasy go self. But he looked normal, if anything he looked bored, constantly running his hands through his chestnut hair and huffing and puffing, it confused me how I managed to find his presence so soothing even if it was just like that.

"Oh yeh because someone I fucked is gonna go through the trouble of doing all this and involving fucking Lennon Tonya and this girl who I never speak too in order to get back at me" Harry said sarcastically, pointing too Issy.

"No offence" he added when his eyes caught sight of  Lennons who rather than smiling was actually looking sad.

"My name is Issy fuckface" Issy pointed out with a glare at Harry.

"Whatever" Harry said dismissively. To which I stifled a laugh at.

"Well who would do such a horrible thing? Do you think maybe we should tell anyone, I mean surely we should tell the police?, or maybe Brad?" Brad Cumbers was Megan's 'perfect' boyfriend. Trust me when I say there was nothing perfect about the prick. They were not what everyone thought they were. Lennon looked at Danny, I'm assuming for comfort and for someone to back up her idea.

"I don't know Len, it's probably just someone playing some type of joke" Danny said, rubbing his hand up and down her arm, and pulling her closer to him, causing Lennon to blush.

Oh, now I get it. Little church girl has a crush on her popular friend, how sad.

"There's no probably about it, it's just some sado who's trying to fuck with us, don't shit your pants" Harry said.

"Haz is right, probably just someone just trying to have a laugh" Kyle said throwing his arm round Harry.

"Of course someone like you would think this was a big joke" Issy said scoffing, to which Kyle just shrugged.

"I can't believe you guys are taking this so lightly, there is literally some psycho writing us death letters" she continued.

"Oh, Stop being so dramatic, they aren't death letters" I rolled my eyes at her.

"Yeh I think you're going a little bit to far there issy" Danny said.

"Of course she is, I mean for we all we know, you're the one who wrote them" I interpreted before I could give her a chance to speak.

"What?!" She screamed, her green eyes widening with anger.

"Oh come on, it makes sense. You have no friends so you lured us here so you could have some people  to hang out with" I said leaning back in my chair.

"Say that again" Issy said, coming closer to me to which I just laughed.

"Issy, Shelby is only joking, she knows you would never do such a thing" Lennon said softly, standing up to stop Issy from coming forward.

"No I'm not joking, this is probably the most interaction she's going to get all week"

"Come on girls, let's not fight. At least not with your shirts on" Kyle said standing up and looking us all up and down.

"Kyle, the fuck? Wrong timing" Danny said.

"I mean there's 3 girls and 3 boys, so I'm just saying" he said shrugging his shoulders.

"Oh and by the way" Issy started, ignoring Kyle.

"Even if I was the saddest person on earth the last fucking thing I'd wanna do is spend time with you" Issy said looking at me with disgust.

"And some stuck up rich boy who's so far up your arse he can smell shit" she said pointing at Danny, to which he blushed and Lennon looked down to the floor.

"2 boys who fuck anything that moves" she said pointing to Kyle who just winked and Harry who remained robotic.

"And Jesus girl who probably thinks a blow job is something-"

"Alright, alright, have you finished having your little moan?" Harry asked her with a bored sigh, fingers pinching the bridge of his nose, he must be annoyed.

"It was her who started it" Issy said pointing at me.

"You're the one who started shouting and screaming" Danny said before I could open my moth to which I sent him a great full smile.

"It doesn't matter who started it, we're arguing over pointless shit" Harry said. "Look, this is probably some bored fucker just wanting to play a little prank we will ask around and find out who it is" he finished.

"How will we know what we've found out, I doubt these two are gonna communicate with eachother on anything" Kyle said, pointing at me and Issy.

"We could meet up in a couple of days back here and see what we've found out, who knows maybe Megan might even be back by then" Lennon said, with hopeful eyes, if she wasn't so oblivious to her own naivety I'd poke fun.

"Sounds good to me" Danny said, probably trying to make her feel better.

"See, Lenny has the right idea ladies. All about positivity, being nice to eachother, right Lennon?" Kyle said putting his arm around Lennon now, to which she smiled.

"We're all friends aren't we, Lennon?"

"Of course" she said chirpily, her eyes bright and her dimples poking out.

"And you know, friends help their friends relive tension, which I'm sure everyone is feeling , so why don't you give eachother a massage or let them give you one"

"I mean we could do that, I have oils, but the only thing is we'd have to take our clothes off" oh for fuck sake. I could see Kyles smirk from here.

"Aw no! But I'm sure that wouldn't be a—" Kyle let out a scream as Danny punched him in the arm.

"Dude, not okay" he said.

Lennon just stood there like a deer in headlights, clearing not understanding or relaising what was going on. If I wasn't such a bitch I'd feel sorry for how oblivious she was.

"Right we're going" Harry said, putting his bag on his shoulder and walking off. I was about to call his name, but he was already out the door.

"See ya later ladies" Kyle said with a wink and walking off after him, at the same time Issy was walking out.

"Please after you" Kyle said opening the door for Issy.

"Gee thanks, you're such a gentlemen" Issy said with a sarcastic smile.

"I try" he said, hand on his heart. Issy walked out of the door as Kyles eyes went down to what I'm assuming was her arse and have a nod of approval before walking out.

"I'm gonna go too Len, I'll speak to you later okay? Sorry about Kyle"

"Why are you saying sorry for?" She asked sounding genuinally confused, is this girl for real?

"Doesn't matter" Danny said, laughing a little. He ruffed her hair and pulled her into a hug. I watched as she snuggled in closer and closed her eyes. I had observed these two for 20 mins and already noticed that Lennon was more dow eyed over him than Noah was for ally, how had Danny not noticed it? Or maybe he had noticed and was just choosing to ignore it.

"See ya Shelby too, I ho-, i hope you're okay" he said stuttering and blushing whilst Lennons eyes turned sad. No, hadn't noticed then.

"Thanks Danny, see you later" I said whilst looking into his eyes, kind of enjoying him squirm. He just blushed harder and walked out.

I turned my back and starting putting on my coat and getting my bag, I was contemplating giving Lennon some friendly advice, something along the lines of 'fuck him' or 'go and fuck his friend' but didnt for 2 reasons. One, I didn't care, and two, his best friend was Harry. But then again, Harry and Lennon would never happen I thought with a laugh.

"Shelby" I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around with a slight gasp.

"Fuck you scared me! I thought you had gone" I said, hand over my heart.

"Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you!" She said putting her hands on my shoulder, as if to make sure I'm steady.

"I just wanted to talk to you for a second" she said in a quite voice.

"Oh yeh, about what?" I said looking around the room, I didn't have the time or the effort to talk to someone who resprents a child.

"You know what" Lennon said, her tone turning serious and scared. It was only then my eyes snapped to hers.

"I told you to NEVER speak about that again!" I said whisper shouting.

"I know, I know but it's on my mind lately"

"Clear your mind then go smoke some pot, sing hymens or strum yourself to the bible, just don't mention it again"

"Shelby, Megan is missing" she said, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"Oh really? I didn't know that, thankyou so much for telling me Lennon" I said sarcastically.

"Don't you think that's weird? And also with these letters, I just think we should tell the others" she said with pelding eyes.

"No! These letters have nothing to do with that! This is some sado, like Harry said. Besides this is not mine or your information to share"

"I know but-"

"What are you thinking anyway? Why would you want people to find out?" I said talking to her as if she was a child.

"What do you mean? I didn't do anything, you know that!" She said her voice cracking a little, and her eyes starting to water. Oh for god sake.

"I know you didn't, but I don't think those bible loving parents of yours will see it that way, especially after you didn't tell them after it happened"

"That's because I didn't want to get her into trouble, i thought I was doing the right thing" she said, bowing her head down like a child who just got told off.

"Look" I said, sighing "what happened has nothing to do with what is going on right now, and it especially doesn't involve you, so just don't say anything, okay?" I said sternly, walking out and leaving her there.

I walked down the corridor with the aim to go straight back home and just escape all of this madness until I had to come back and do it all again tomorrow. That is until I saw Harry standing by his locker. I thought he was going back with the boys, but I was glad he was here.

My heart started to race and pound harder against my chest and I got closer to him, I haven't spoken to him along in so long and I could feel the nerves from when I first meet him coming up. This was everything I hated in a woman. My mum warned me about becoming this, about becoming a girl who was obsessed and craved the attention of one man and that one man alone to lit up her day, and wanted to live happily ever after, it was the type of stuff which a girl like Lennon would believe in, but I wasn't Lennon.

"Hey Haz" I said tapping him on his shoulder.

Harry usually hated it when people called him 'haz' but in our time together we had grown closer and he had stopped correcting me when I said it. I felt special when he did that. I felt like I was someone important to Harry.

"You a'lright" he said with his raspy voice, I had missed his voice. His green eyes were blood shot and froze like always, but still managed to look sexy.

"Crazy shit isn't it" I said leaning against the other locker looking at him, admiring him.

"Wouldn't worry about it too much" Harry said shrugging whilst putting something in his bag.

"Who do you think it is?" I said, genuinely curious to see who he thinks send these letters.

"Probably someone we all pissed off. Let's face it, we aren't angels are we. "I probably fucked them and never called" my heart ached at this. "Kyle sleeps around, Danny's dad might have done some shit, you might of called them a slag or prick, Issy probably caught someone doing something and Lennon- " he said, stopping to think.

"Well Lennon probably forgot to say her prayer before bed or something I don't know" I laughed at this and he smiled.

There was nothing in this world I loved more then when Harry smiled, his eyes lit up, and those beautiful dimples could be seen. The smile was only small but I could still make out the outline of the dimples.

"I miss you" I said, I don't know what promoted me to say to and I instantly regretted it, but it was out now.

"Shelby" he said in a warning tone.

"I said I was sorry, I was only joking when I said that thing" I said, trying to convince him.

"Yeh you might have been, but it was too much Shelby, you know I don't deal with complicated stuff"

"What and fucking Nancy Litters, thee Nancy Litters who has a boyfriend isn't 'complicated'? I snapped, putting emphasises on the word complicated.

"How do you know about that?" He said rubbing his eyes.

"Oh I don't know, she only tells me about it everyday" I say, anger laced in my tone and jealously burning through my veins.

"Shelby we aren't together, what has it got to do with you?" Harry said.

"She's a slut" I said before I could even think about it.

"So am i, so are you, who gives a fuck? I don't want anything serious, it's just a bit of fun"

"You're right, I'm sorry" I said, looking into his green  eyes.

"It's fine, look it's been a crazy day, I'll speak to you tomorrow okay?" He said

"Okay"

"I'll see you later" he said giving me a touched on the shoulder and a little wave before walking off, my skin still burning where he touched.

I tied to focus on my work, but my head was dizzy because of the scent of Harry's colleague and the feeling of his bed sheets felt so warm, I felt warm. I had never felt like that with a guy before.

I could hear music in the background. Pink Flyod. If I am to be comely honest I didn't know who they were until Harry played them, but he seemed in love with them and that was enough to make me like them.

"I'm bored" Harry said pushing away the chemistry text book we were supposed to be revising from.

"Let's do something else" he said.

"What did you have in mind?" I said, looking up at him through my eye lashes.

He smirked, letting his hands move up and down her they reached inside the jeans I was wearing, feeling me through my panties causing me to shiver and moan. He spread my hips and rubbed against my entrance softly. I shuddered and clung on to him, panting softly. I could could hear his breathing pick up when i rubbed my fingers along the inside of his boxers just enough to where I could  feel the smooth skin just above his slowly hardening cock. Just as I was about to start stoking he stopped and froze.

"What? What is it? Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.

"A tu!" He said as his nose scrunched up and he squeezed loudly.

"Aw" I said, thinking about how adorable it was.

"Don't say aw" he scolded.

"Just did" I said. 

"Shut up" He said, just looking down at me, probably wondering if we were going to continue. I just laid there, looking at him.

"I love you" I blurted out. And the second I said it I knew I made a mistake.

"What?" Harry said, he looked so pale, like all the life had been sucked from him.

"What? I was only joking?!" I said trying to kiss him again.

" I think you should leave"

Looking back on the memory, I guess me and Lennon had more in common then we organically thought, we were both in love with people who didn't love us back it seemed.
