The secret life of me

The Secret life of me Pt 20

The next morning I walked through school fully alert and smiling. Last night was boring we didn't do much out of the ordinary so it was an easy sleepover. Molly came rushing up to me “Are you like not excited for tomorrow” She said smiling

“Am I ever” I replied grabbing onto her arms and squealing excitedly

“Your driving down too aren't you?” she said

“Yes?” I said wanting to know what the ultimatum of the 20questions she was asking

“Well are you taking Ryan?” she said raising her eyebrows at me

“I don't know I thought he had a car?” I said just as the bell rang

“I have Math now so I'll see you at lunch” I said hugging her. I walked upstairs through the bustle of people until I could see the maths room straight in front of me.

Sam sidestepped in front of me “Kate I'm so sorry” He said

“That's nice of you” I said

“Please take me back” he pleaded and grabbed my hand. I tried to jerk it away but he grabbed my wrists

“Let go” I grunted before he pulled me in and grabbed me by the waist. I didn't want to hurt him like I tried to Michael so I tried to squirm out of his grip. “Leave her alone” Ryan said suddenly appearing. He pulled Sam off of me easily and shoved him away. I knew Sam and he didn't like to be pushed around, and just like I knew him his fist was suddenly punching Ryan in the face. I looked at Ryan his face swelling and blood oozing from his split lip. Just as Ryan was getting up Sam punched him again. Riley appeared trying to pull off Sam.

“Stop” I yelled but I was to late. Richard had tackled Riley to the floor and was repeatedly punching him in the face just as Sam was doing to Ryan. I knew what I had to do. I walked in straight in the middle dodging punches until I caught the one punch in my hand that I needed. Giving Sam's arm a twist and pushing it behind his back made him completely useless. Pulling Sam up off of Ryan I shoved him hard towards the benches were he slipped over and landed lying on the seat. I found Riley already receiving help from Courtney and Blaze who were near by. There was Ryan a black eye in one and and split lip and a grazed jaw. I went over and sat next to him lifting his head up “Are you ok?” I said

“I'm fine I'll just heal later” I hugged him and soon the teachers were here and helping me take Ryan to the nurse.

Ryan came out with some tape on his cut lip and cream on the graze on the side of his face “Miss Walters are you taking Ryan home?” she asked

“Yes Miss, could you sign me out for the rest of the day, Ryan's parents won't be home and he needs someone to take care of him” I said smiling as sweetly as I could.

“Fine” she said with a huff. I walked Ryan to my car and drove home. I looked over at Ryan once the car was parked in the garage. His face all bruised and cut and not healing. I looked over his bruise was now lighter than before but it wasn't healing as fast as usual. Ryan was now fast asleep and I didn't want to wake him. I wrapped my arm under his neck and the other under his legs and lifted him out of the car. I carried him upstairs and putting him down on my bed. I covered him with blankets and I left him and I went downstairs and watched TV.

I woke up early the next morning by bright sunlight that filtered through the back windows. I groaned and sat up, after rubbing my eyes I realised I had fallen asleep on the large white sofa. I walked to the kitchen and found a little yellow post-it note on the fridge

“Went home, thanks for everything”

I sat there eating my cereal and thought about the past few days. Ryan had confessed his love for me, But did I want anything serious? Everything was happening way to fast, I'd kissed him and he kissed me but I had just broken up with my boyfriend, I'm pretty sure I wanted to go slow. Walking to my room I grabbed my sets of clothes for this week playing volleyball and having fun in the city. I walked into my closet and began searching throuhg what I wanted to wear. I slipped on my black Victoria's Secret underwear. It was my favourite one to wear because it fit so easily. Now it was what to wear that I wasn't so sure of. I finally found the perfect dress, it was snow white and finished half way up my thigh with a flower pattern lace along the hem around my collar. I grabbed my bag and all my toiletries and headed off to my car.
