"What's with all that leather?" Brianna asks as I step into the kitchen. Mom turns around and eyes me down. I sarcastically smile at her and start eating cereal.

"Blake, you don't need to act childish over a boy," mom leans on the counter looking at me. "What's going on?" Brianna asks liking at the two of us. "Mom has a problem with my clothing" I lie looking at my mom.

"She's eighteen and its senior year let us live a little mom" Brianna says as she sighs and returns to her breakfast. "Blake, listen to me when I tell you something. I'm your mom, I kn-" a car honks at the door and I run outside and into Bellamys car, Brianna following behind.

...

We get out of the car and walk over to the rest of our friends. Greeting each other when out of no where a girl comes up to - Bellamy who is standing right in front me - and starts kissing him. She was fairly tall, with blonde hair that reached her waist. Her arms wrapped around Bellamys neck as his hands went around her waist loosely. She turned his back towards me and glared at me while kissing him. Before I could react, an arm slung over my shoulder and pulled me to the side.

"Hey Blake, what's up?" Luke said smiling at me. "Hi, Luke, I just got here. What about you?" I ask as we start walking towards the building. "Nothing, I wanted to ask you something" he said while scratching the back of his neck. I turn my head and look at him, "We have a game this Friday and I wanted to you wear my jersey," he said while running a hand through his dirty blonde hair. A slight smile played on his face making that dimple of his visible. "I have a bad history with those...every time I wear won the team definitely loses," I said as I bit my lip. Boy was I bad luck.

"Well you weren't their lucky charm" he strikes a smile, "I can't say no to that face, now can I Skywalker?" I smiled back and headed towards my locker.

"Hey Blake," I heard an unfamiliar was say. I shut my locker to reveal the person. It was Zachary Levi, I only know his name because he stares at me all the time in class and even asked me to homecoming. He was one of those mean people who bullied people around. Although the bullying at our school was kept to a minimal considering everyone had rich parents and everything.

"Uh hi," I said as I looked at him. He had green eyes and huge bags under his eyes. He must have been partying this weekend. "My brother is throwing a frat party at Wilmore College, you have to be there!" he said in a heavy voice. I'm sure it wasn't originally like this. He had black hair and was well built for someone who isn't a jock. "I don't really, I don't go anywhere without my friends," I said as I started walking to class with him. "I invited the rest, I just wanted to make sure you'll be there too" he said as he smiled at me and held the door of the class. "Sure" I smile back and proceed to my seat.

...

"Are we going to that party on Friday?" I asked as everyone sat around the lunch table. "Duh, who wants to miss a frat party?" Brianna said as she ate her salad. "I'll come on my own, the boys insisted we celebrate after the game" Luke said as he typed away on his phone. "Woah, confidence" I said laughing. "You'll get used to it" Eliza patted my back.

"Wait if you'll drive then how will you go home?" I asked curiously. "I was thinking of staying sober, at least a bit. Last time I went to one of these parties things turned out pretty bad," he avoided eye contact and fidgeted with his hands. "What happened? Tell me," I said excitedly. I knew something good in a bad way must've went wrong. "Lets just say that those three girls I was with had the time of their life and I didn't..." he trailed off as Harry and Chris started to laugh.

Where was Bellamy? He was supposed to be my slave for the week. I looked around the cafeteria and stopped as I saw him at the other cheerleader table. That same blonde was sitting on his lap kissing him while the other twirled their hair and gave him flirty looks. Luke nudged my knee with his and I snapped out of my gaze. It's the second time he helped avert my attention today.

"Will you go to the party with me?" I asked shyly. Wow, it's the first time he's done this. "Why not? I have to cheer for you from the bleachers anyway," I said smiling. Luke wasn't a bad guy from the heart. He just had hormonal issues. Typical.

"What about Sarah?" I remember his homecoming date. They looked like a cute couple. "She was just a date" he pointed at her with his thumb. I looked over to see her being kissed by someone else. Honestly, people at less food and more people at lunchtime.

...

School ended and I was looking for my ride home, Bellamy. He said he'll be by the car but he wasn't. I waited for a while but then I decided to walk home.

I know this didn't turn out will before but I practiced a few self defense moves and I'm sure I can protect myself now. It took me a while to get home because my leather pants restricted any fast movements. Mom's car was parked in the driveway, just what I needed. I quietly entered the house and went to my room. Changing out of my clothes and into my leotard and tights to practice ballet. I was going to start when my mom entered my room.

"Honey, here are your lenses. You can wear them whenever you want but I advise you to keep a balance between them and our glasses," she placed the container in my dresser and sat on my bed facing me. I didn't say anything and went on the play soft instrumental music as I danced.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm just looking out for you, I'm your mom, it's my job," I was okay with her but her last sentence ticked me off.

"It's was your job to be there for me all these years. I know you and dad got divorced but you could've visited," tears brim my eyes and I try to hold them back.

"We screwed up. We shouldn't have done that...but I still love you. I always have," mom said as tears rolled down her eyes.

Tears are my weakness.

"I overreacted, I'm sorry. I just..." I trail off as my mom pulls me in a hug.

It's hard to explain what's in my head and I know can't tell this to me mom. She'll freak out. It's just that after my dad died, I didn't know what to do. I started messing around and attracted the wrong type of people. I know very well that I got my myself into this. Truthfully, I am still tempted by those things I did but I have to control my self.

I realize that my grip around mom is really tight so I let go. She rubs my tears off my face and kissed my forehead. "There's one more thing I have to tell you. I'm leaving on Thursday and I won't be back by Tuesday," I looked at her confused. "Why?" I ask although me and Brianna would have the house to ourselves and we could do whatever we wanted and was still curious.

Oh Blake, when will you stop being so moody and conflicting?

"There's an elite conference for us surgeons. It's really important that I go, I can't miss it." She said forcing a smile. "So we're staying here alone?" I ask her. "Eliza's parents are going too so you friends can sleepover wherever. Just don't get into trouble." She knows us so well. I nod and give her a smile. The doorbell rings and mom goes to get it.

My phone beeped and I check to see what it is.

Bellamy: Where are you?

I roll my eyes reading this. He ditched me the entire day and know he's asking me where I am?

Blake: Home and you don't need to pick me up tomorrow. I have a ride.

Bellamy: How did you get home? What's wrong?

I don't bother replying. I switch my phone off and play my music.

"Yay! We can party on Friday, Saturday and Sunday!" Brianna jumps into my room and slams the door shut. Isn't she ecstatic.

"And I thought I was the bad one" I said sitting next to her. She rolls her eyes at me and shrugs it off.

"That frat party is going to be amazing. I made an entire plan so that even..." Brianna keeps talking but I zone out as I lie on my bed. She won't ever stop talking.

"What's wrong?" she asks nudging my arm. I open my eyes and look at her.

"Nothing" I shifted up on my bed.

"Is it about Bellamy? Look, he is who he is. Don't expect anything from him no matter things seem like. He didn't get the bad boy label for nothing" Brianna said.

I let out a sigh in agreement. She's right, he spent the weekend with me because he just wanted to get close to me but when he came to pick me up from homecoming everything felt so different. I've known him for weeks now, its not too sudden right. My hands trail off to my necklace. I didn't take it off since homecoming. I really liked it.

"What's like like?" I randomly ask Brianna.

"He's never had a relationship that's for sure," Brianna chuckles.

"I'm wearing his jersey on Friday. We'll come to the party later," I said running a hand through my hair.

"That's cool with me. Wait you didn't even hear a word of my plan?" she gets up and glares at me. I laugh and throw a pillow at her.

"Not again please!" I face palm myself at my own stupidity.
