I groaned as I shut the locker with a loud bang. Today, like all Wednesday’s we started off with domestic science. Let me tell you why I hate domestic science… I suck in general at cooking, baking and so on. I can seriously burn water. Also, everything I make has a tendency of tasting horribly and now the domestic science teacher even refuses to taste my “work of art”.

Also, last year I almost burned down the ceiling fan above a stove and I smashed a chocolate cake into the teacher as I walked by now looking ahead of myself. So summarizing this, my teacher kind of ignores me and knows not to force me into doing things, since obviously it all ends up badly.

Oh, I almost forgot! I may be pretty shy and kind of on the good side in school with the teachers, BUT whenever we have domestic sci. I kind of always get in trouble with Jacob. It’s kind of fun though, because Jacob always messes with the detention guard which is an old lady. It’s mean but I can’t help but to find it fun too. I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Jacob walking towards me and giving me a hug.

“Hey, excited about the lesson?” Jacob asked sarcastically.

“Yeah can’t wait to burn down the school…” I rolled my eyes and walked in the classroom.

“Class is dismissed and you Amy and Jacob are up for detention at the end of the day” she decided after what we had done in class today. It was an accident but of course she didn’t believe us.

We were supposed to make a blueberry pie with whip cream and when it was done I was an idiot by taking it out of the oven without wearing oven mittens so it kind of flew out of my hands and landed on Ms. Lindsey. So now she’s walking around in a white blouse decorated with purple stains and blueberries, topped off with whip cream.

I got through the rest of the day pretty quickly and now I was on my way to my locker to meet Jacob.
“Hiiii Jacobaby” I smiled.
“Jello, Ames-Games”
I threw my schoolbooks in the locker and next in my hoodie that I just took off followed. I straightened out my dark gray Motörhead tee and pulled it further down my black jeans.

We walked over to classroom No.502 and stepped in laughing as soon as we saw what the detention guard Mrs.Nielsen wore. She wore a bright pink sweater with a yellow rainjacket over and of course a white/red polka dotted skirt.
“She looks like a candycane!” Jacob whispered and giggled loudly as we approached the benches in the back.

I had to hold my hand over my mouth to keep myself from bursting out in laughter, Jacob was right she did look like a candy cane, but not a tasty one.
We sat down and brought up random things, I found my small notebook where I had all of my songs written in. I started writing some songs and just really pour my heart out. Like I’ve said before, it’s my outlet. Music is probably the one thing keeping me alive and Jacob, he would probably kill me if I died.
As I flipped through my notebook and tried to concentrate which was hard considering that suddenly a loud group of people burst in the classroom.

I looked up and saw Matt with his crew, they sat down next to us starting to whisper loudly and punch each other jokingly. I groaned inwardly, I mean sure I talked to them but I still had problems with them. Especially Matt…

My fingers flipped through the pages of my notebook delicately when a discreet whistle caught my attention.
I slowly looked up from my notebook and chewed on my pencil just to be met with Matt’s *cough*beautiful *cough* hazel eyes and his dimpled grin.

“What are you guys in here for?” he asked.

Me and Jacob just looked at each other and started choking on our muffled laughs.

“Did… uh you-you see Ms. Lindsey toda- today?” I asked in-between giggle fits
“No I di-“ he was about to respond when Jimmy cut him off “oh me gee, you did that? She looked like a walking pie!” he chuckled.
“Haha yes.. but Ames… she’s got this habit of not doing it intentionally. So by all means, never let her in your kitchen. She actually burns water” Jacob warned mockingly as he stole a quick glance on me.
“gee, thanks Jackie” I grinned and turned to look back down at my notebook.
“What’ya got there?” Johnny asked.
“Uh, nothing.” I replied and stuffed the notebook back in my backpocket.
“Ready?” Jacob arched an eyebrow at me and I nodded.

The other guys just furrowed their eyebrows in confusion as we walked up the desk. Mrs. Nielsen was sound asleep and her gray hair covering her face also working to muffle her small snores.
Jacob then stepped behind Mrs. Nielsen’s chair, and slowly but gently pulled out her old-fashioned cellphone out of her small front pocket. He then typed something in and quickly returned the cellphone to its place. Then he signed me to hurry up and get out of the classroom before she woke up.

In the hallway we turned to our lockers, grabbed our things and ran outside. Just as I was about to step on the last stair ,I tripped and somewhat landed on Jacob. He laid there under me and we just looked at each other, seconds later we blew up in laughter.
We kept laughing until we heard somebody clear their throat and we both looked up to face Matt and again his crew.

I finished out my laughter and slowly rolled off Jacob so I landed on the ground. I pushed myself up so I was leaning on my elbows and held one of my hands above my eyes to be able to block the sun out of my face.

“Seexy time!” Jimmy decided to jump around us and smile widely.
“No sexy time Jams”

Jimmy pouted and I thought I heard a gruff from Matt but I was probably just imaging things.
Jacob got up and offered his hand to me which I gladly accepted as I rose up. I brushed off my jeans and looked up at the guys again.

“You like Motörhead?” Zacky asked excitedly and I looked down at my tee, then back up and
mumbled ‘ I guess I do’.

“ ’nuff chitchatting with Ames-fames” Jimmy called sternly then took a big step and with that he swooshed me into his arms.
“Jim…. I can.. not.. breathe”
“You’re coming with us to the beach tonight” he decided.
“Jimmy I can’t do that I ha-“
“you are coming with us.” He said happily.
“I can’t.”
“I won’t let you go until you stop arguing” Jimmy once again sang.

I waited a few seconds before saying “fiiine, but only because I can’t breathe.” With that he released his grip on me.

(At the beach)

The night had gone pretty good so far and as time passed by more people came to our bonfire. I got to meet the guy’s girlfriend’s; Marie-Anne was Brian’s girlfriend, Luisina was Zacky’s, Issa was Johnny’s and Lexi who I of course already had met was Jimmy’s. What surprised me though was that there was another girl named Serena that seemed really into Matt but they weren’t together, I thought that was weird since they kept looking at each other every now and then. The girls were really nice, we talked a bit and they seemed really supportive about their band. They were really sweet, especially Lexi. I think I’ve grown quiet fund of her over these past few days. It was pretty much like a beach part and lots of guys were drunk but thankfully I had Jacob by my side to save me. Haha.

“Hey guys, I’m just gonna head for a walk” I said and started walking away towards the big rocks hearing loud sounds of the waves crashing against them.

I sat on one of the rocks and just looked out at the sea, getting lost in my thoughts, that was until somebody violently grabbed my arm.

“Heey!” I shouted and came face to face with an unfamiliar drunk guy.

He then pressed his lips against mine roughly and I tried to push him away but he was clearly a lot stronger. His hand slid up under my tee whilst the other one held a steady grip on the back of my head. ‘No, no no, this cannot be happening!’ I kept thinking to myself.

I whimpered and tried to get away as his hand travelled further up my body, I managed to push him away for a fraction of second just to be able to scream “Stop” at him. Of course he didn’t listen, his hands kept roaming my body and I twisted to get out of his grip. He then paused and pulled away from me, hovering over me. I kept twisting and trying to squirm free but it was useless. At this point I was terrified when I looked at the man’s eyes.

“Please, don’t hurt me” I managed to whimper out.

“Honey, I’m.. Gonna do you pleasure not hurt” he slurred out and then attacked my lips lazily once again.

His knee then pressed in between my legs to try and separate them. I heard the zipper of his pants and that was when I really started to panic. Just when I thought he was going to do the most terrifying thing to me I shut my eyes. Everything suddenly came to a stop and I felt the drunken guy getting ripped of me. I sighed in relief but what happened? I cracked open one eye and then followed by the other one to see Matt setting his fist in the drunk guys stomach.

The drunk guy, I guess started feeling sick from that impact and wobbled away quickly to throw up.

Matt then turned over to me with a look of concern plastered all on his face.

“Hey are you okay?”

I nodded sheepishly and gave nervously pushed my tee down as far as I could. MY breathing was still heavy and my body was tense but that disappeared a bit when a couple of arms wrapped themselves around me. I just forgot that part who hated Matt and dug myself deeper in his chest trying to calm down. His hand kept going up and down my back in a soothing manor and I even felt him kiss the top of my head. Or at least I think so.

Maybe Matt was a good guy when he had to be but I still don’t know why he’s changed his ways towards me.

Why Mr. Nice guy all of the sudden?
