Chapter 3
“Hailey. Wake up” Grandma opened the curtains and I groaned, hiding under the duvet
“Grandma” I complained as she pulled the duvet off me.
“Up. Now” I nodded as she threw the duvet back on the bed and walked down the three steps, and then out of my room.
My room was a grey and white colour. Perfect for me. I’m guessing me and my mom had the same taste. The one thing I love about the whole room is the bed area. The bed is in the corner, with three steps leading up to it, and a small bookshelf on the side.
I jumped out of bed and walked down the steps towards my closet. I picked out, some washed out jeans, and a white sweater, walking to the bathroom to have a quick shower.
Yesterday when I came back from school, my grandma wa shocked to see me. I just said that school ended early. She asked how was school and if I made any new friends.
I just nodded, and changed the subject of school.
I got dressed, and walked out of the bathroom, wearing my converses and grabbing my school bag then walking downstairs.
“Grandma, I’m off to school. I need to be there early” I walked into the kitchen.
“Okay. Be careful?” I nodded kissing her cheek, and walking out of the house.
I drove to school, as fast as I could, and parked in my usual place.
Yesterday I learnt the whole, schedule and what time the imaginary bell went.
I was about to open my car door, when it opened itself?
“Bella” Vincent smirked at me holding his hand out.
“You?”
“My name is Vincent, Bella” and my name is Hailey. I’m glad we established that.
“Okay” I got out of the car and closed it behind me.
“Bella” Vincent pushed me against my car slowly “When I hold my hand out, I expect you to take it. Do you understand?” He whispered running his hand down my thigh.
I nodded, not able to form any words.
“Good. I’ll see you in class” he placed a small kiss on my neck, before disappearing.
I took a deep breath, already regretting coming to school. I stood up straight and ignoring all the stares, I walked into school.
“Carter” I heard someone shout behind me. I turned around to see Alex running towards me.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name yesterday” I smiled
“No problem. It’s Hailey” he nodded
“Hailey” he tested out my name. It didn’t send any shivers down my back, like when Vincent said my name.
“Hailey? Do you want to go? What’s your class?” He asked
“Gym” he nodded, smiling slightly.
“Same as me. I’ll show you” he held my hand and started pulling me through the crowd.
I thought me being new, will only be a rumour for one day, but ever since, people have seen me with Vincent, nobody can take their eyes on me.
And I’m not stupid, to not realise, that Vincent is a badboy. The black jeans, the black leather jacket, the cigarettes poking out of his jeans pocket, and a sexy smirk. Not that it’s sexy..
“Do you normal get lost in thought?” Alex asked and I blushed slightly embarrassed.
God knows what he was talking about, and I’m lost in my own thought.
“You go inside the changing room, and get changed. They should give you a outfit with your name on it. And I’ll meet you out here” he said and I nodded walking through the changing rooms.
All the girls stopped talking and stared at me.
“Girls, you’re scaring here. I’m Layla, the captain of the cheer leaders. Oh and Vincents girlfriend” she smirked walking walking towards me.
“Hailey” she nodded
“Your clothes are in that stall” she pointed and I nodded, walking to the stall. I looked at the clothes in the stall, and they were a size small.
I closed the stall door, and took my clothes off. I pulled up my black shorts and wore my blue tank top, which had my name on the back.
“Hailey” I heard Layla’s voice behind the stall. I picked up my clothes and stuffed them in my bag and walked out to see the changing room empty with only Layla standing there waiting for me.
“Your shoes are perfect. Let’s go” she grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the changing room and towards a sports hall, where the class was.
“Layla? Are these the clothes?” I asked ignoring all the stares I got from the boys.
“Yeah. You have another pair as well, but that’s for winter time” I nodded as she sat down next to a group of girl.
“Sit down Hailey. We won’t bite” the girls started giggling.
I nodded sitting down next to her, before the doors opened and Vincent walked in, with Jason and Jordan. I’m guessing they’re brothers or twins. Twins I guess if they have the same class with us.
“Take your seats” I heard a teacher walk in. Everyone sat down on the bench, and Alex sat down next to me with another guy.
“This is Cole” he said pointing to the guy and I nodded
“Hailey”
“Get up” someone stood in front of Alex.
“Baby, come sit here. I saved you a seat” Layla pointed in between me. I looked up to see Vincent smirking at me.
“We’re through. Done” he said still staring at me, as everyone gasped. This school is so dramatic.
Even the teacher didn’t say anything. He just stood still, watching us.
“Vincent wh-”
“I said we’re through. Done Layla” she stood up and ran out of the hall.
I don’t know why I feel like this is all fault.
None of her friends stood up to go and help her. They just laughed a little to themselves.
You can do this Hailey. She helped you, you help her. Easy
I stood up, which kind of made it hard to breath. Vincent was so close to me, I could feel his body heat.
I walked around him, while he was smirking.
“Where you going Bella?” He asked grabbing my hand, and turning me around
I pulled my hand out of his, and walked out of the door, towards the changing room.
As soon as I stepped inside, I could hear someone sniffing in a stall.
“Just leave me alone Kylie” I heard Layla’s voice.
“It’s me Hailey”
“Oh” she opened the door, wiping her eyes.
“Do you need any help?” I shook my head.
“Are you okay?” She nodded
“I’ll be fine” she smiled slightly.
“Will you be coming back to class?” She nodded
“Why did you come?” She asked
“Because. Hey Layla can I ask you a question?” I changed the subject and she nodded
“What’s wrong with locker 63?” She smiled
“Nothing. It’s just that it’s a locker next to Vincents. Most people avoid it in this school, because they’re scared of him” I nodded, taking a deep breath.
Thank god it wasn’t Clowns,ghosts or spiders.
“Bella” Vincent walked in.
“You’re not allowed to come in here Vincent. It’s the girls changing room” he shrugged looking at me.
“Why did you run Bella?” He walked towards, caressing my cheek.
“I-I” he smirked knowing his touch would affect me. I turned around and looked at Layla who had a small smile on her face.
“Did you find it?” She asked Vincent and I stood in between looking at them both.
“Yeah”
“Good. But you could have let me down easy. Now everyone will think you dumped me. It’s meant to be the other way round, remember? We made a promise?” They were talking in some sort of code.
“Well it was at that moment.” She nodded looking at me and back at Vincent.
“I’ll be going back to class” she walked towards the door.
“I’ll come with you” I said walking towards her, just as Vincent grabbed my hand and spun me around, so I was facing him.
“You’re not going anywhere Bella” Layla walked out of the door.
“Let me go Vincent” he stepped closer, holding my waist and pulling me closer so our chests were touching.
“Say it again Bella. Say my name” he ordered and I shook my head.
“Let me go. Now” I said and he chuckled pushing me backwards into a stall, and closing the door.
“Vincent what ar-” he covered my mouth with his hand, just as we heard the door open.
“Vincent? I know you’re in here” I heard a girl’s voice.
“Fuck. Mom” he stepped away from me, and taking a deep breath, he opened the door and walked out. I sorted my clothes out and followed him out, my cheeks heating up from embarrassment.
In front of me stood a woman around the age of 24 is.
And she was staring at me and Vincent, every now and then.
“Mom, why are you and dad always checking up on me? I’m not going miss school. After you, is Alexa going to come and check on me?” Vincent mumbled
“You’re meant to be in class. Your teacher called saying you left, and I had to come because your dad was busy. And what are you doing?” She looked at me and then back at Vincent.
“She’s mine” he smirked and the woman gasped. I’m no one’s.
“Really? Already? Does your dad know?”
No,no, no
“Yes. I told him yesterday. Can you leave now?” She rolled her eyes
“Get to class back. Bell has gone. You should come over sometime” she smiled at me before walking out of the room.
“What the fuck” I whispered under my breath walking back to the stall, to get changed.
“Bella, what’s wrong?” Vincent walked into the stall after me. It was a small stall, with a small bench.
I could feel Vincents body on mine. He was that close.
“This” I turned around pointing to him and me.
“Is nothing. Why are you forcing this Vincent? I don’t even know you” I shouted and he growled.
“Don’t, and I mean it. Don’t ever shout at me” he grabbed my arms forcefully, spinning me around, so I was pushed against the door.
“Now Bella. You have a magic word, that will get you out of any trouble. Do you understand?” I nodded scared.
“I love Vincent. Say your magic word” I shook my head.
“Bella..” he warned, narrowing his eyes at me.
“I love Vincent” I whispered and he smirked.
“Excellent. I’ll be waiting for you outside” he moved me aside, slowly, and walked out of the stall.
I quickly got changed, just as the girls walked back in. I stuffed my gym clothes in my bag, to wash them at home and walked out of the stall.
“Hailey, do you want to sit with us at lunch?” Layla asked and I nodded slowly.
“Great. Just wait for me, and then we can go” I nodded sitting down on a chair.
This school is really different than my last school. Everything in this school is organised as if it was a private school, and I know it’s not because grandma wouldn’t send me to a private school.
The whole school is different compared to others. Their timetable is different. Two classes in the morning, then break, then another class, then lunch, and then two last classes.
“Hailey, come on” Layla pulled me up and I followed her out with another set of girls.
“Layla, we can’t go lunch today. We have cheerleader practise?” Layla stopped walking and all the girls stopped.
“Oh shit. I totally forgot, Kylie. Okay, you guys go ahead, and I’ll meet you there”she said and all the girls walked away.
“Hailey I-”
“It’s okay Layla. You guys go ahead” she nodded hugging me tightly and then running after the girls.
“You could still join us?” I heard Alex’s voice behind me.
I turned around to see Alex and Cole standing behind me.
“Oh. Okay” Alex smiled and nodded
“Let’s go” I followed them to the canteen, and they walked to the line.
“You don’t have to pay for food in this school. It’s free” I nodded
“Is it good?” I asked
“Amazing. Just like a restaurant” Cole said and I nodded.
We walked in line and in front of me was, spaghetti, pasta, lasagne.
“It’s Italian day today” I nodded picking up a plate of pasta and putting it on my tray.
I picked up a water bottle and followed Alex out of the line. It was so cool,that you didn’t have to pay for lunch.
“Our ta-” someone took my tray off me. I looked up at Vincent.
“Follow me Bella” he started walking away as everyone stared at me.
I walked to the line and picked up another tray, and put a plate of pasta and a water bottle, walking back to Alex.
“Where’s your table?” I heard a chuckle behind me.
“I can do this all day Bella” he took my tray off me again, and grabbed my hand with his other one.
“Let go” I said and he shook his head walking to a table at the back, and making me sit down, then sitting down next to me.
Everyone went back to what they were doing, as I stared at my tray. I picked up my fork and started eating. Nothing is going to stop me from eating.
“Bella,this is Jason, and that’s Jorden” I ignored him, carried on eating.
“Bella” Vincent called again.
“What?” I exclaimed and everyone froze, not talking. The canteen was quiet.
“We don’t have school tomorrow. Its been cancelled for a week” he smirked
I nodded, carrying on eating.
“Bella” I heard someone else’s voice, and Vincent growled. Is is possible to be a human and growl so much? I wonder how many years he took to learn to growl.
“What?” I looked up to see a guy with blonde hair looking at Vincent.
“What?”
“It’s Hailey”
“But you call her Bella”
“I call her Bella. You call her Hailey.” Blondie rolled his eyes.
“Okay fine. Hailey, my name is Jason, older by 3 minutes, than Jorden” he pointed to another blonde guy next to him.
“Hi” I muttered
He smirked holding my hand, and kissing it.
“It’s a-” Vincent grabbed my hand and pulled it back.
“I’ll kill you” he said to Jason, and Jason sat back.
“Cool dude. Remember? Bro’s before hos?” Vincent stood up and punched Jason, resulting in him falling on to the floor.
Everyone stood up, making a circle around Vincent and Jason who were on the floor, fighting.
“What the fuck did you call her?” Vincent growled punching him on the floor.
“Vincent stop” Jorden said trying to pull him up.
“She’s yo-” Jason shouted freezing, as Vincent punched him again.
What he said wasn’t bad. We say, chicks before dicks? Nothing wrong.
“Hailey, get him off” I froze
“What if he hurts me?”
“He won’t” Jorden said pulling me closer to Vincent, and everyone stared at me
“Vincent” I mumbled and he froze, turning to me.
He stood up and hugged me tightly.
“Did he hurt you?”
“No. I say, chicks before dicks?” He chuckled letting me go, as everyone went back to their tables.
I looked at Jason who was staring at me and then back at Vincent.
“Bro, I didn’t know. You could have told me” he muttered wiping the blood off his face.
“Well now you know. You better not fuck about” Vincent turned to him before he froze.
“Everyone out!” I heard Tyler’s voice. I grabbed my bag, but Vincent grabbed my hand.
“Not you” he said as everyone left, only leaving Jason and Jorden.
“Hailey can you leave?” Tyler walked infront of me.
“Sure. I have one question? Is there really no school tomorrow? For a week?” He nodded and Vincent let go of my hand.
I walked out of the canteen.
I can’t be with Vincent all day. Concentrate on your studies.
