"I'm peeing". I lied.

"Then pee faster we need to leavenow".

After flushing the toilet and washing  my hands I unlocked the door.

"You'd think you wanted to be late".He grinned.

"Maybe I don't want to go". I walkedright past him and made my way  downstairs. The limo was still outside,  Alanna was stood at the front door.

"We need to go". She spoke.

"I'm going to drive myself. I have tonip home and change my shoes".

"What, no we all have to gotogether". She frowned."We don't". I made a face. "And myfeet are killing me. I'll be there in plenty  of time”.

"Alanna just go we'll meet you there".Jake spoke.

"I'm going to drive myself there Jake,myself. I'll meet you there too".

"That's not happening". His eyesdarkened. I knew he was trying his best  not to snap. I was being difficult, and I  didn't care one bit. He was lucky being  difficult was all I was being.

"Jake, we need to leave. If she saysshe wants to go on her own, then let  her. I'm not going to be late for my own  graduation because of this".

I bit my tongue. I had so much l  wanted to say. She told me by accident  and if she hadn't, I would still beclueless about what was going on. They  all kept it from me.

But why?

Rolling my eyes, I grabbed my purse.  "I'm going to change my shoes. I'll meetyou there".

He let me leave, he didn't follow but I  knew he was furious.

He was waiting for me in the school  parking lot. No one was around  everyone already inside. Turning off my  engine I unclipped my seatbelt and got  out.

"You didn't change your shoes". Hespoke.

"What?". I frowned.

“You went home to change yourshoes"."Oh, that yeah I lied". I side steppedhim and started walking towards the  school. I had a long hard think about  everything on the drive over here.

There was no point in getting worked  up over this. It didn't matter what I  thought. He was going to do whatever  the hell he wanted anyway. But if he  thought I was going to stay here while  she, was here he was wrong.

"Don't do this Leah". He grabbed myarm, and I at once pulled it back. Right  now, I didn't want him near me never  mind touching me.

"I'm not doing anything, but don't youtouch me. In fact, just leave me alone". I  walked faster away from him, but it was  never that easy with Jake.

"Wait a damn minute". He yelled.

"What?". I snapped."What could youpossibly have to say to make this  situation better?".
