It was nearing 8 as I nervously awaited Reece's arrival. I had showered about an hour ago so I was dressed simply in black joggers and a green NIKE hoodie. I really couldn't give two shits what I looked like in front of him. I mean, I had no reason to try and impress him or look good for him as after this tutoring was over, I would never need to speak to him again. I tied my long hair into a messy bun that sat nicely on my head as I cleared the kitchen table and laid out all of my math textbooks. When it turned half past 8, I huffed and grabbed a bag of Doritos from the kitchen, assuming he had blown me off.I laid sprawled on the couch, stuffing my face as I heard a brief knock on the door, only for it to spring open.

Reece stalked in, looking rather sexy in a dark green beanie and a leather jacket, covering his muscled torso in a white t-shirt and black jeans. I mentally smacked myself for calling the jackass sexy as he stared down at me with a rather strange look. I then noticed that I laid on my back with my legs leaning on the wall, with a thousand Dorito crumbs laying on my chest. I quickly brushed them off and stood up, scowling at him.

"Next time wait for me to let you in." I scolded him.

He rolled his eyes and swiped off his beanie, running a hand through his silky looking locks. "You're late." I commented, grabbing his arm and pulling him into the kitchen.

He huffed. "You're lucky I came all." He muttered so quietly but i have good hearing so I heard it.

I turned around to glare at him. "Oh I'm so lucky am i?" I drawled sarcastically as I clenched my fists. "I don't want you here anymore than you want to be." I snapped, not so sure as to I was getting so worked up over this. Maybe because he thought that he was the only one that hated that we to spend time with each other.

His jaw clenched with anger. "I was joking with you. You don't have to be such a bitch all the time!" He yelled.

This angered me even more. "Don't call me a bitch!" I yelled and when he just stared at me blankly, I calmed down. I was in a pretty bad mood after my dad had rang me earlier to say that he had to stay even longer in New York due to his case being extended. He was a lawyer and I loved my dad with all my heart, I just didn't want to be alone for that long.

"Sorry." I muttered awkwardly as we sat down at the table and I grabbed the piece of paper I had been given with all the topics to cover. Within minutes of sitting down, Reece stood up and began raiding the cupboards.

"I'm fucking starving." He walked into the living room and grabbed the packet of Doritos I was earlier scoffing and started shoving them in his mouth like his life depended on it.

I stared at him with disbelief. "Help yourself." I dryly replied as I turned my head back to the text book.

I groaned into my palms. "I don't know!" Reece sighed and placed the text book down, knowing he was getting nowhere with me. I sucked at math so bad and I almost felt bad for the amount of times I had snapped at him in the past hour.

Hence the almost.

"It's not that hard dumbass."

I glared at him for a couple moments before realising that it wasn't worth my time. Rolling my eyes, I looked down at the sheets sprawled out everywhere. "Can we stop?" I asked and immediately after I let out a gigantic yawn. He chuckled quietly next to me before nodding, and begun to pack away his things. I stood up from my seat at the table and walked over to the sink, quickly washing my hands from the pen marks that managed to get all over my hands. As Reece begun to get ready to leave, I leant against the kitchen counter, watching him. I hated that I noticed how his back muscles rippled as he moved down to pick up his jacket and how he effortlessly shrugged it on and why that was so damn hot. I wanted to ask him how the fuck he was so lean for an 18-year-old but stopped myself, not wanting to sound like an absolute weirdo.

He stood up and ruffled a hand through his hair before placing his beanie back on his head. He then raised a brow In my direction. "Are you home alone tonight?" He asked and I sighed.

"Yep." I paused. "Go on. Take the piss that I don't have someone here." I replied, turning around to open the fridge.

He appeared beside me and shot me a frown. "Why?" This question sent me off guard. I expected him to laugh at me or to make fun that there was nobody here, but he didn't. I knew Reece lived in the richest part of town, due to Cole telling me that his house was a fucking mansion. Me and my dad weren't poor, but we definitely weren't rich either. We just lived in a simple 3-bedroom house and I wouldn't change it for the world.

"My dad's away on a business trip." I replied, avoid of any emotion. I loved my dad with all my heart and he was the greatest dad I could ever ask for, but I just wish he didn't have to work so much but I understand why he did. Without him working as hard as he did, I wouldn't have a roof over my head and be living how I was and I was grateful for that. I grabbed some orange juice out of the fridge and held it up to him with a small smile.

"Want some?" I decided that I may as well try to be nice to Reece, arguing with him wasn't going to get us nowhere. I just hoped he would act the same way in return.

He shook his head and I nodded, pouring myself a glass and thrusting it back in the fridge. I downed the contents and hastily wiped my mouth with my sleeve. Reece bounced between both feet. "What about your mum?"

I felt a pang in my chest at the mention of her name but smiled sadly. "She's not here anymore." A frown appeared on his face.

"I'm sor-" Before he could finish I interrupted.

"Don't say it. I hate it when people do that." At first he looked a little taken back before he nodded.

Reece soon left after that and I got ready for bed. I laid in bed staring up at the wall just thinking about everything. I wondered how my dad would react if he found out that the towns troublemaker was tutoring me. Well, I guess he never has to know. Reece was known in this town, for attending Juvie more times than I could count on both hands but that didn't really bother me. In fact, the worst part was that I found that strangely attractive. I groaned, this time actually smacking myself for thinking he was good looking again. When I was with Adam, I never really took notice of Reece's good looks because I had a damn boyfriend and I was loyal.

Shame he was the complete opposite.

I think the worst part about being cheated on was that deep down before we started dating I knew it was a bad idea to get involved with someone like him. His group of friends made the lives of everyone and Wood Field High a fucking misery. For example, back in Sophomore year there was a new girl that joined the school. Her name was Mandy and she was a little on the bigger side and Brad pretended to be interested in her and convinced her to join their group. The poor girl was ecstatic, especially when the three girls wanted to be her friend. Me and Jodie tried to warn her but she just got defensive, claiming that we were jealous. A couple weeks after, Brad went to kiss her and as Mandy puckered up and closed her eyes, they all burst out laughing and told her that they would never be friends with someone as fat as her. The girl was humiliated as the entire school witnessed it and she ended up transferring the next day. I remembered how Adam was also laughing with them when they did it but he told me he changed, he wasn't like that anymore.

Then there was Amber and Chloe bullying any girl that they could, or saw as lower than them, which was pretty much anyone who would take it. Mona didn't really bully; she wasn't too interested in anyone that wasn't herself or her friends so never spoke to anyone else. Most of the time she sat grinding on Brad's lap to give a shit anyway. As I laid in bed, a lone tear slipped out my eye as I thought back to the day my world came crashing down.

It was the day of the final soccer match of last month and I remember how I sat in the stands, cheering so loudly next to Cole and Jodie for my boyfriend. Adam was the soccer captain of our school's team and I felt so damn proud of him when he scored the finishing goal, earning our school the win. After the game, me and Jodie got ready for the after party held at Luke Obrien's house, who was the soccer teams goal keeper and she had forced me into this stunning, navy dress. For once in my life, I felt like I looked good and was actually worthy enough to be Adam's girlfriend. So many people told me that I wasn't good enough and that he could do so much better and they nearly got to me, but I never let them. My friends constantly told me not to listen to them and that anyone, no matter who they were, would be more than lucky to have me. I smiled softly at the thought of my two best friends in the world. I would do anything for them. Cole had picked me and Jodie up that night and drove us to Luke's house and I found Adam almost straight away. We did everything a normal couple would do that night: drank together, danced together and kissed. He was always sweet enough to walk me to the toilet and wait outside for me. A couple hours after we arrived, I left him to go and dance with Jodie and Cole as he told me he was going to find his own friends. We were only supposed to go off and then meet each other an hour later.

So there I was, dancing with my two best friends and the hour passed briefly. I was pretty drunk but wasn't drunk enough that I didn't know my surroundings or what I was doing. I left them to go and find Adam like we had agreed and I searched the entire ground floor but I couldn't find him anywhere. I spotted Mona and Brad but I refused to approach them and ask if they had seen him. I'd rather cut off my boobs then speak to them ever again. So there I was, surrounded by hundreds of drunk and rather sweaty teenagers looking for him. After searching the ground floor twice and walking in or more than one couple fucking in the bathrooms, I wandered up the long stair case. I knew that up here was out of bounds to anyone but I knew that Luke and Adam were good friends, so he would've been an exception. After searching every room of Luke's mansion-like house, I finally came to a holt outside of the final door. I heard shuffling inside and low moaning and I squeezed my eyes shut, really hoping I wasn't walking in on another one-night stand but what I found made me feel like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.

The first thing I spotted was the very familiar blonde-almost silver hair grinding on someone and I instantly knew it was Amber Taylor. She was topless as I saw her bare back and I was just about to gag and retreat out of the room before I heard the voice underneath moan her name. I knew that voice from anywhere and as soon as I locked eyes with his, I slammed the door shut, tears streaming out of my eyes as I ran down the stairs as fast as I could. I could hear his voice yelling my name but I wasn't listening, it was like a voice in the back of my head attempting to reach my brain because it was so faint. I ran head first into Cole's chest and at first he was smirking at me for coming down the stairs but the second he took a look at my face it was laced with concern. He pulled me into a bone crushing hug and I remember him calling Jodie's name. She suddenly appeared and pulled me out of Cole's arms, holding me steady. My back was to the stairs at this point but I could hear Adam tumbling down as my head snapped to his. He was hastily doing up his shirt and the second Cole saw Amber's smirking face behind him, he punched him so fucking hard in the nose I swear I heard a crack over the music. Adam cried in agony as he held his bleeding nose as my friends led me out of the house. I cried into Jodie's arms the entire journey home as Cole drove.

Luckily, Cole hadn't drunk that night so he was perfectly sober. My phone rang the whole ride home but Jodie ended up grabbing it, answering it and yelling at him through the phone before turning if off. Cole carried me inside, bridal style to his house as I laid on his hard chest, I had finally stopped crying and I just felt numb. You may be thinking that I was being extra, but we had been dating for a year and only a month before I had given my virginity to him. I was saving it for someone who I loved and trusted and I genuinely thought I loved him. The worst part of the whole situation wasn't just being cheated on, when I went to school the following week, I was humiliated. Everyone found out and Amber was nothing but smug, like she had purposely done it to spite me. I groaned into my pillow, knowing my wide awake brain wasn't going to sleep any time soon. I just wish that Adam didn't bother me constantly and I could just get on with my life. But that wasn't happening, seeing as everyday he saw me he would try to approach me. Unless Cole was there, he would try talk to me. Although Adam was pretty buff, Cole was still larger than him and I'm certain he would win in a fight. However, Reece was larger than both of them.

Why the fuck was he in my head again?
