Even though this story isn't getting too many votes and comments (thank you if you are voting! Ly!) I really feel like I need to finish this book. I think it'll be about 20 chapters and I hope you enjoy them. Enjoy this chapter😊

School was even worse on Monday. Newt wasn't in my first lesson so it was just me and Sonya scribbling down notes in English literature class. I sigh and look at the words-heartsick was one of them. Perhaps this is what the stories meant when they called somebody heartsick. Your heart and your stomach and your whole insides felt empty and hollow and aching. That's how bad it felt.

At that moment the door slams open and I jump. I look up to see a tall girl-even I could recognise that she was strikingly beautiful. Thin body as well as her spidery long legs a and immaculate wavy blonde hair. She looks round the class,her icy brown eyes locking on a few people as she walks to someone. Glaring at them.

"Out of my seat. Bitch.." She snaps as the person does exactly what's told of them. I gulp as she sits down and the teacher begins with the lesson again.

"Who is that?" I ask Sonya.

"My cousin,Alisha." She whispers "You need to stay away from her.. Thomas. I think she was the one at the party who kissed Newt."

It took every once of my willpower not to kick that girl or to crush a desk over her perfectly sized head. I clench my fists and try to shake it off. Newt and her could he happy together. Happy selfish idiots who I wish didn't exist.

"I want groups of threes," our teacher announces as everyone forms groups "Alisha- can you go with Thomas and Sonya?"

"Happy to," she smiles as she sits on our desk "Sonya," she flashes an evil smile "Didn't see you at the party last night... Did you not get in?" She pouts and turns to me "You are?"

"Thomas.." I answer. Turning my head away. I hated her already.

"Well no one told me you were in this class. I'd probably turn up more if I knew." She laughs and hands the work to Sonya "You do that whilst I talk to Tommy over here. Why would he be into you Sonya? When he could have me anytime he wants.." She leans closer and strokes my cheek "We should go out sometime."

"I'm fine thanks."

"Oh. You misunderstood.." She laughs and flicks her long hair back "It wasn't a question."

"Well,looks like I answered it." I glare at her and stand up "You do the work. Sonya let's go."

"Sure thing," 

We walk out,not looking back as we lean against my locker. I exhale heavily and watch Sonya-

"How are you two even related?" I question her "You're so.. But she's so.."

"I get that. She's beautiful and I'm me-"

"No. That's not what I meant. She's horrible and you're... Well,you're all I've got."

She smiles slightly "Thank you." She hugs me tight and I hold her back as I see Newt. I step back and drag her away with me.

"Tommy,let me speak!" He cries,

"You don't deserve to!" I growl "I know what you did. How could you do that to me!?"

"I'm.. So sorry."

"I hope you two are very happy together.. I never want to see your lying,cheating face again!"  I shove him down and run off.

To be honest,I watch people do that sort of stuff in the movies. You know,they do that then walk away all strong and free;then the film ends and there's always a great moral learnt from it. Life's not like a film though,is it? Reality does not impress me even though it leaves a lot on the imagination. Since growing up I know it's not all about knights in shining armour or perfect princess'. But I've never seen a fairytale about a boy falls in love with another boy but he's then betrayed and his heart is broken forever. Yet the other doesn't care. Maybe there should be a fairytale like that,made for those who don't get happy endings.

"Thomas.." Sonya pulls me to her "You won't agree with me but.. People do stuff they don't mean all the time. Maybe he did too."

"Why would he do that?"

"Because we're growing up. Barely any of us know how to handle these emotions we're feeling. I guess we know one thing-that we don't lie to each other. We're not meant to do that."

"How come he lied?" I wipe my eyes "Made me feel like he loved me. He accepted me!"

"I.. I'm not sure. There's a part of him which feels that way,the other part of him is just scared. We're all scared."

I watch her "How do you know so much?"

"Because I know people. I know what they're like. The world is a mess Thomas,maybe that's the beauty of it too?"

I nod and hug her tight as I resist the urge to cry. Nothing would have persuaded me to let her go.
