Book 1: Nowhere boys and their Nowhere girl

Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Back to back, sadly we can’t see eye to eye

Blake’s P.O.V

To say I was pissed at Sam, it was an understatement… I was beyond furious. At first, you could tell we were never friends, and the second we were grouped together, I still knew everything would be perfect BFF’s. But it never stopped me from trying to see eye to eye with him.

As I walked with Felix along the road to Phoebe’s I was glaring at Sam as he walked further ahead than any of us. I felt Felix tense and wince, this confused me. I turned to face him and saw his face scrunched up in pain,

“Felix… what’s wrong?” I suddenly forgot what was going on with Sam. I stopped walking, grabbing Felix by both his arms effectively stopping him too. Felix looked at me slightly annoyed,

“How are you not in pain?” I frowned, feigning confusion,

“What do you mean? Why would I be in pain?” Felix growled at me,

“Blake, you got thrown against a tree just yesterday. Your back is bruised as fuck, but you aren’t in pain or complaining. So don’t you dare say that nothing happened yesterday.” I frowned,

“Felix, why are you so mad? I don’t know what you’re talking about…” Felix cut me off before I could say anymore,

“Like hell you don’t,” I growled right back at him, pushing myself into his chest poking him with one finger as to challenge him,

“You want to know what’s going on with me?” Felix shrunk back slightly at me advance but nodded strongly. I sighed and backed off away from him, turning around,

“You don’t always get what you want. You can’t always learn what you want to know. You can’t have the perfect life with everything you want,” I turned back to face Felix with my tears running down my face,

“You really want to know?” Felix nodded slowly forgetting his strong advance, walking close to me,

“Blake is something wrong?” I nodded vigorously, still crying,

“Of course something is wrong Felix, something is always wrong with us and everything here. This just… I will tell you everything later but for now, we need some time alone. So just be glad I am telling you this time instead of running off. Okay, so after we go to Phoebes, we will have some time alone okay?” Felix nodded slowly,

“Sure whatever, that’s not what I really want to do but I guess I will put up with it for you,” I smiled and pulled him into my arms,

“Thank you for understanding Felix,” Felix didn’t return my hug, he only pushed me away,

“Don’t be. Because I don’t understand a single thing,” and with that he walked off leaving me standing there as he went to catch up with the other three.

I sighed and quickly headed off taking the shortcut to Arcane Lane. I don’t think any of the boys knew about it seeing as they were going the long way. But I was glad for that.

When I got to Phoebes, I pushed open the door and made my way in locking the door behind me. I pushed away from the door and went straight for the back room, looking for Phoebe. When I couldn’t find her, I just forgot about it and went straight to the back room where Alice’s book of shadows was missing! Oh my god, I forgot, Felix took it to school so he could study it,

“Phoebe are you here?!” when I heard a mumble coming from somewhere, I chose to follow it. I wasn’t a hundred percent sure it was Phoebe, but I was sure it was. The boys shouldn’t be anywhere near her yet. I decided to call out again,
