Amelia's POV
I wake up to my alarm, and smile at Quackers. I get ready for school, and grab my backpack.
I make omelets for Esmeralda and Cassy, and don't even get annoyed about it. Lily texts me that she's outside, and I run towards her car.
"Happy birthday in a week !" She says excitedly.
She hands me a box of donuts, and I take one out to eat. "I love you." I say to her.
"Who doesn't?" She says, flipping her hair.
"How did your date with Jase go, tell me and stop the praises?" I ask.
She glares at me and says, "I know what you're doing. I'm only summarizing, and then you better tell me every detail with Sylvester."
"It wasn't even a big deal." I say, looking away.
"Does my bitch have feelings for someone?" She asks gasping.
"No!" I shout automatically.
"Wow, you hoe. Going for the jackpot." She says smirking.
"Fuck off." I mumble, rolling my eyes.
She laughs and explains what happened on her date. "Awww you guys are so cute." I say.
She smiles and nods. "I just don't know if it's worth it... We're going to college soon, and we're not that serious."
"What about a summer fling?" I ask jokingly.
She sighs and says, "I don't know... Right now we're just going with the flow. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be."
"I'm sure everything will work out in the end. I'm by your side no matter what." I say, squeezing her shoulder.
"At least we'll still be in the same state for college." She says.
"Not even distance can break our bond. We're bonded by blood." I say dramatically.
She pulls up into the parking lot, and we eat each other's donut. "Are you ready?" I ask, finishing my donut.
"Spill already." She says.
"He picks me up and drives me to the place the charity is being hosted. We eat food, and then oh..." I say, remembering what Tiffany said.
"What happened?" She asks worried.
"Tiffany was there. She called me an ugly bitch and basically bragged about her parents being alive." I say.
"Where the f*** is that Bitch? She went too far this time" Lily says angrily.
"It's okay, Alex and I told her to fuck off. And I may have slapped her face." I say grinning.
She gasps and claps. "I'm so proud of you! But the second we graduate, we're fucking her face up. She deserves at least a black eye." She mutters.
"I'm pretty sure we can be charged for that shit..." I say.
"Then we can't get caught. She'll go crying to her mommy and daddy, but there's no way she'll want everyone know she got her ass kicked." She explains.
"I really hope you're not going to lead a life of crime." I say.
"If the whole college thing doesn't work out, I have a back up plan." She says shrugging.
I laugh and glance at the clock. "We should get going if we want to be on time." I say.
We exit her car, and start walking towards the entrance. "What about the whole fake girlfriend thing? Did he realize you're actually a catch and ask you out? She ask
"Sadly, no. But we went out for ice cream." I say.
"Like a date?" She asks.
"Friends, but I'm fine with that. Some people are meant to be alone forever." I say shrugging.
"Nope. No negativity on your birthday in a month." She says, bumping into my shoulder.
I walk towards my locker, to grab a textbook, when I hear someone whisper my name. I subtly glance at the group, and see others are looking at Lily and I.
"What's everyone's problem?" I ask Lily.
"I don't know... I'm usually up to date with gossip in our grade.
Tiffany and Cassy's group come strutting down the hallway, and I sigh in annoyance. "I can drag her to a closet and knock her out." Lily says, glancing at the teacher-less hallway.
"Cameras." I say, pointing at the ceiling.
"Damn." She says with disappointment.
Sylvester and Jase walk towards us, and Lily smiles at Jase. He kisses her cheek and she slightly blushes.
"Gross." Sylvester and I say at the same time.
"You guys are just jealous that we're not lonely." Jase says.
"I don't know... Amelia and I make a great couple." Sylvester says, wrapping an arm around my waist. What?! When did this happen? How could you not tell me?
"Cheater." Tiffany coughs, when they walk by us.
"That's not 10 feet." Sylvester says glaring at her.
"We just wanted you to know that slut cheated on you." Someone says behind Tiffany.
"That's why everyone's looking at us?" Lily asks, confused. Rumors usually don't travel that quickly... Well Sylvester is kind of a big deal.
"We all just think Sylvester deserves better than... you." Cassy says, staring at me.
I scoff and try to pull away from Sylvester. He tightens his hold, so I wait for him to speak. "Are you really that desperate that you think we'll believe your bullshit?" He asks curiously.
"We have proof." The girl behind Tiffany says.
Sylvester and I smirk at each other. "Really? Show us." I say. So everyone who's heard the rumor, thinks you guys are actually dating?
"I-I can't. She's obviously brainwashed you into actually finding her attractive." Tiffany says, rolling her eyes.
Sylvester glances at everyone in the hallway. "If you heard a rumor about us, it's total bullshit. We all know Tiffany's just jealous no one wants her." Sylvester explains.
Some people nod, knowing that's true. "Next time you hear something from Tiffany, remember she's trying to get attention. Don't give her any, she's irrelevant." He says shrugging.
She gasps in anger, and her whole group trails after her. "What a fucking bitch." I say, crossing my arms.
"I have to head to class early, but we'll see you guys later." Jase says, pulling Lily away. Lily flips off the direction Tiffany went in, and I laugh.
"That officially ruined my birthday week." I say, grabbing my textbook and slamming the door shut.
"When's your birthday?" Alex asks.
"August 16th but I'm actually waiting for September to come so I can leave Esmeralda." I answer. He nods and I start to walk towards my first class.
"I can't believe she actually tried doing that." Sylvester says in disbelief.
"I didn't even cheat." I mutter.
Sylvester laughs and says, "Amelia, we're not even dating."
I freeze and smack my forehead for forgetting. Wow you really thought he would want to date you? My subconscious says..
He grins at my reaction, and I cover his lips with my hand. "Don't be a dick, and rethink what you're going to say." I say.
He pulls my hand away, and innocently says, "Me? I would never be a dick."
"I just think it's interesting you accepted that Tiffany thought we were dating." He says.
I feel my face heating up, and try to control it. "Shut up. I would never ever date you, so let's move on." I mumble.
"I don't know... You don't sound very convincing. Are you sure you don't like me Amelia?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Fuck off." I say, as the bell rings.
"I'll see you later babe." He says winking.
I flip him off, as he turns in the other direction. It's only Monday and I feel so tired already. On the bright side, my birthday is in four days.
Thanks for the heads up
