Hey lovelies
Here's a double update so enjoy,
There's also a an important note at the end of the chapter so please don't skip!! *eyes the people that will scroll past*

I headed straight home from the airport as I know I'm gonna get it worse from mum if I come back later.
Like I thought, mum turnedup right in front of me as soon as I stepped inside.
"Avery where have you been?" Mum asked with a worried expression.
"Dropped Charlie off at the airport" I replied with a sad tone, trying to get mum off my back.
"That was at 4:30"Â mum raised her brow waitingfor my explanation.
"Yeah I wanted to spend my last day with Charlie" I lied straight through my teeth.
Mum gave me that knowing look. The look when they know you're lying.
"How did you get there exactly?" She asked.
Damn I forgot to figure out a way to explain me borrowing Josh's car. Josh was in his room the whole day so I doubt he noticed his car missing.
"I used Charlie's car" I instantly replied, maybe way too quickly.
"Charlie doesn't even have a car"
How the hell did she even know that?
"Well we both caught a taxi" I tried justifying myself giving an innocent look.
She continued staring at me, her burning gaze making me squirm.
I lowered my tone and sighed in defeat. "Fine! I borrowed Josh's car"
She didn't seem angry or disappointed in me.
Instead she just shrugged. "Okay than" before sitting on the couch and reading a magazine.
I stared at her in slight shock. "Okay?" I asked rather unsure.
"As long as it's not my car" she answered back entranced in the magazine.
"Um, ok I'm just gonna leave" I turned around still frowning.

I was rudely interrupted from my dream when a bright light was thrust in front of me. I closed my eyes in frustration, hoping the light would just disappear. When the light continued to shine brightly I opened my eyes in frustration to see my mum opening the curtains.
I pulled the sheets over my head closing my eyes again. "Mum close the damn curtains. It's six in the morning" I groaned.
"No it's 8:30" she replied in a neutral tone.
I pulled the covers back alarmed by the time, I could've sworn I set my alarm. I scanned her face to see if she was lying. Her blank face said it all so I quickly dashed out of bed and got ready for school, not believing I had slept in again.
I made it to school in fifteen minutes and it was the usual physics, English, bio and maths classes. It was actually quite good as the teacher never picked on me.
I realised I shouldn't have said that because the next minute I was being called on. I made a mental note to touch wood three times after saying something like that.
"Avery, what is the answer to question 7?" the teacher asked staring directly at me.
Although it looked like I was distracted, drawing sketches of people, I was in fact listening and the teacher had no idea. He thought I just zoned out and knew I would look like a fool if he asked a question.
I then replied with the answer "746" in a bored tone.
I wanted to say ha so badly because I knew it was right.
"Correct" the teacher said looking elsewhere rather surprised.
It's called multi-tasking, I wanted to say. For some reason people think our generation isn't as intelligent but yeah, we can listen and do other things.
The morning went by in a rush and then it was lunchtime.
As I was in the cafeteria I saw Lacy coming up ahead. To say I hated her was an understatement. There was something about the way she held herself. She strutted through school like she was the queen, glaring and pushing anyone who dared to step in her way.
Someone near me bumped into Lacy, making her drop her handbag and all of the contents in it. I felt really bad for the girl standing in front of Lacy apologising over and over again.
Lacy gritted her teeth and crossed her arms over her chest, glaring at her. "Watch where your going nerd! Pick it up!" She yelled at her.
My blood boiled, feeling way too familiar with the situation.
The girl immediately dropped to the ground and hurried to scoop up the items and put them in her handbag. She picked up her bag and handed the bag to Lacy repeating her apologies. With one last glare she dismissed her and the poor girl hurried off.
I clenched my hand in anger, Lacy sure has the nerve. I looked down at my lunch dish suddenly feeling like it would look better all over. I know I should never waste the food but the cafeteria food wasn't anything special. Just some overcooked Brussel sprouts and spaghetti Bolognese that tasted like crap. I don't know what they put in the cafeteria food but it is disgusting.
As I walked past Lacy I pretended to trip over the table leg and the contents on my plate went flying to land all over Lacy.
The sight in front of me was priceless. She stood with her hands clenched and spaghetti Bolognese all over her shirt and neck.
"Oh my god I am so sorry" I lied whilst wiping the food off her t-shirt which made it smudge. I tried to hide my smile from the murderous glare she was giving me.
She tried glaring at me, looking like she wanted to murder me. But to me it was just an empty threat.
"You should of been born in the dark ages, you look terrible in the light" I said smiling at faint mark on her face after she fell flat on her face from tripping her. Of course, when Lacy tripped before she didn't do what any normal human would do which is protecting her face with her hands. And hence, falling flat on her face and creating a mark on her face. Which is exactly why her face is smothered in make up right now.
My comment made people around me snicker only making Lacy more furious.
"You're just jealous" Lacy forced out. I rolled my eyes, this being the second time she's said that.
"Here we go again, jealous of what?" I asked bored.
"Because I get every guy whilst you, well your still a virgin" Lacy said whilst smirking.
I really wanted to know how she knew that. I didn't know if she knew or she was just guessing.
Most of the boys whistled when she said I was a virgin. While others stared at me waiting for me to say something.
"Yes I am a virgin. Which means I dont go opening my legs to every guy there is. Fucking someone is not an achievement. So don't make it sound like an achievment" I said.
"No. It means that every boy is after me while no one is after you" Lacy said.
"Trust me they only want to use you, just like Chase does" I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Chase isn't using me" Lacy said.
"Believe what you think honey" I say and walk away.

I hope y'all enjoyed the chapter
Anyway something has come up that I just wanted to talk with you guys about, I'd really appreciate it if you all read it :)
I was looking back at the comments because I love reading what you guys have to say, and some made me laugh while others made me really sad. There is a line between constructive criticism and just being plain rude. I've mentioned before I love hearing your thoughts and what I can improve on because I am human and I make plenty of mistakes but writing mean comments can really put someone down and potentially stop them from doing what they love. Imagine writing your own book and you spend so much time towards dedicating your time to it but you have people commenting saying your book is shit and you don't deserve any of the reads you have. I'm going to be honest and say that when I read these comments I just feel like crying because it's my book and I feel like it's an insult to me as a person. And I know none of you intentionally want to hurt anyone because y'all are so sweet, but words do hurt, so I just want you to think about that and think the next time you post a comment which may potentially be hurtful.
If you are one of those people that have stopped writing your book because of someone's rude comments please continue writing. If you love what your doing and writing is your passion then don't stop. Ignore the rude comments and focus on all of the positive comments , trust me it helps you in the long run.
This is not all of you, and the rude comments is not all in my book it's also in other books that I've seen mean comments. So please stop sending them and think about what your actually doing.
If you really are that mean try writing a book, and tell me what the struggles are ;)
Anyway thank you guys so much 56k reads I love you guys!
