Lacey's right hand held up her head while she waited patiently for their next teacher to walk into the classroom. With each passing second, she got bored. It was easy to just pick a side and listen to the endless chatter that the other students were bringing up. But she didn't feel like it. And neither did she feel like going to sit with the girls. She let out a puff of air and closed her eyes slowly. When she opened her eyes again, there was a junior student nervously looking at her. "Umm... are you Lacey? He said to go to the girl with the ponytail." She nodded. Wondering who this he who said could be. Half a dozen roses were dropped on her desk, roses she didn't notice the junior was holding. Dennis. Who else would send roses. "Uhh... kid-""OMG!" And here come the girls surrounding her. He cleared his throat, took out a folded piece of paper, unfolded it and read; "Since you won't listen to me. Maybe you would listen to him..." "Is that from Dennis? Wow! This is s

That smug look on his face, she couldnt stop seeing that smug look on Tom's face when Tate walked up to her. What was he thinking? What was she thinking? She was furious, so furious that she pushed open the front door and walked in without closing it. She started up the stairs. "Lacey!" She heard her name. Startled, she missed the next step, nearly falling foreward. She gasped, stood up straight and turned around. Seeing Tom standing before the threshold, looking rage full at her, she walked back down. "What the hell!"He walked in. "What the hell me? What the hell you! Why?!" He slammed the door. "Why would you do that?" "To wipe that smug look off your face." She pointed at him."What? Why?" "Because you bloody knew! You knew he would do that and you let him." His anger was fading. Was she justified? "So you said yes? I did try to stop him." "Then you could have warned me.""What would you do then?" "I would have avoided him. Whenever I know somethi

The girl slid her hands up Tom's chest. "Are you seriously like treating me this way?" He laughed nervously. Thank goodness for David taking Lacey away. He held her wrists and stepped back. "I haven't really had time. But tell me, how am I treating you?" He folded his arms. "Like Umm... well." She looked up, creasing her forehead as she thought. "Okay, for like, starters, you're treating me like I don't exist." He smirked. "Really? How so?"She gasped. "You ass." She hit his arm. "You're like totally not taking this seriously." "I might be." He laughed."No, you're not. "You're not mad at me anymore are you?"She rolled her eyes and folded her arms. "I so am. A whole lot more than I was five minutes ago." He chuckled. She eyed him. "Okay so I'm not." "Hey don't keep him all to yourself Shels." Another girl rested her elbow on his shoulder. "Thomas Wade, where the hell have you been?" He looked from one girl to the other "Uhh... school. My school. I'm allo

"Have you seen her?" Tate asked Tom once he found him among some friends. "Who?""Lacey." What's wrong with just calling her name? Everyone always says her first. That isn't even the problem. What did he mean by has he seen her? Did he leave her again? He told her she could move around, did she do that? She had to be around here somewhere. Was she safe? She doesn't know anyone here, anything could happen. "No." He did his best to hide his concern. "She's you're date dude. Don't ask me." Tate tilted his head, he didn't like Tom's attitude. "Really?""What? I haven't seen her." Tate sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Keep looking, before she ends up drugged somewhere." That was his own fear. He shuddered at the thought. The second Tate turned away from him, he took out his phone and called her. "Where are you?" He said when she picked, walking away from the group. "Walking home.""Why?" He walked out the front door. He can't draw too much attention to himself

It seemed Tom was right. No, there's no seem about it. He was right. By Monday morning, half of the school was talking about Tate and Lacey. And the news was still spreading. Lacey ignored them as best she could, and them included the girls. But unfortunately, three of them caught up with her after their second class. "Seriously Lacey. You never ever agreed to go to a party with us and Tate comes out of nowhere and you say yes?" Bethany vented. "Okay, calm down Bethany. Let's be honest here, if Tate Winston came up to you tell me you wouldn't say yes?" Fay asked. Thank goodness, Lacey didn't have to explain anything. "I know I would." Anita said."You would what?" Jody caught up with them. She hadn't heard the news before and it shocked her to hear it. Anita couldn't help but spill the exciting news. They had the next period free so they went to the lunch bar and took their seats. Lacey made sure to look at Jody's face. There was no hiding her shock. "Wait till Den

The chair scraped the ground when Tom stood up. He left the group without a word, just the same smile plastered on his face. When he backed them, the smile faded. He left the lunch bar and headed for his locker. The bell for the next class to begin would go off any minute. While he rummaged through his locker, Tate walked up to him. "Hey." "Hey." He kept his focus on his search."So, I talked to her." Awesome, the her thing again. "Who?" It's not like he didn't know who he was talking about. Tate shifted his weight. "Lacey. I swear mate, ask me who one more ti-" "Shut up. Say her to me one more time, and I would ignore you." It would be a good thing maybe. He definitely wasn't interested in hearing him talk about Lacey. "How do you expect me to know who her is when you also just talked about Lisa Stenton. "Good point. So I talked to Lacey..." He explained what he walked in on with Dennis and what she had said. "I didn't even know what to think of it. And I sti

Tom and Lacey stood by the door, both watching Sadey complain and give her reasons why it was necessary she went with them. Tom couldn't help smiling at how cute Sadey looked as she spoke, her big pleading eyes making him give in. He looked at Lacey who just kept shaking her head. Her will was stronger than his when it came to Sadey apparently. " I'll tell mom." "What? Why would you do that? This is supposed to be our secret." Tom said. "We might not be back till past your bed time. It's a school night and mother would be worried if she gets back and you're not here." "She'll be worried about you too and you get to go." She stamped her feet whining. "It's also a school night.""What if we get you something. Would you like that instead? What do you want?" Tom's suggestion had her excited. "Umm... choc- no! Ice cream." "There's ice cream here." He glared at Lacey, wondering why she would say that. "It's vanilla. I want strawberry flavou

"Toby!" Sawyer called out when his father's assistant walked through the door. Tom raised his eyes over his phone for a second and went right back to texting. "Hey! You got the suits." Why is Sawyer so excited? He looked up again and noticed the black suits Toby held in each hand. "What's going on?""You're attending a gala tonight." Toby replied. "Your father can't make it, so you would both be attending in his place." "Finally. I know why you're here." Tom stood up from the couch. "Well, you weren't answering dad's calls. He needed to know how you were and this just kills two birds with one stone. It's not a bad thing." "I never said it was. You should have told me. What time is this thing?" He asked Toby. "In two hours.""You still have time to do nothing." Sawyer elbowed Tom lightly, took his suit from Toby and headed towards the stairs. Tom sighed and followed after him. The boys stepped out of the car and headed up stai
