The Fallout

Chapter 2

Elle's POV

Three months later and Owen never took off the post about our kiss. Of course I was a little embarrassed, I mean, he was the biggest nerd I knew and he wasn't that attractive.

Riley and I got into Kylie's car and she drove us to school. We greeted her and she looked rather unsettled.

"Are you good?" I asked.

"Yea. You?"

"I'm good too thanks. Are you sure Kylie?"

"Yes. Just... uh, I had a fight with my mom this morning." Kylie almost never argued with her parents. Because most of the times, they let her get away with anything. I wonder what it was about.

We got to school and she parked her car. Then we got into the school building. I went straight to my locker and Kylie went off to find Henry. Riley went to her locker too.

After packing my books in my back pack, I closed the locker and Janine was standing behind it. She actually startled me.

"So, heard you kissed Owen." Why was everybody bringing it up like it did not happen three months ago?

"Ugh! Not this again. In this month alone, you're the eighth person who came up to me and asked me that. Everybody says it's unbelievable. Well they must suck it up because I did kiss Owen Kreifle and it was good." I walked down the hall to my class and Janine followed behind me. I was speed walking and she was slightly jogging up to me.

"I'm shocked too, like why? And are you okay with the fact that he posted it?"

"Of course I'm not okay with it, but why hurt the kid's feelings over this. It was just a kiss you know."

"Not to him."

"I don't really care."

As we were walking, Emma and Miranda walked towards us. Their outfits were almost matching. They wore short skirts with tank tops, yellow was the color they were wearing today. They matched colors all the time but Emma called the shots of course and her outfits were way better than Miranda's. Their heels made an annoying sound against the floor, their movements were pretty fast.

Here comes trouble, I thought.

They both stood right in front of us, they stared, we stared back, not showing any defeat or surrender to their attempted intimidation.

"Seriously Elle, I thought you were a loser but I didn't know you could go anything beyond that." Emma started.

"What do you want Emma?"

"So you can't get yourself a cute boyfriend, worst part is that you are dating a junior."

"What?" Did she just say dating? What the hell was she talking about? I was definitely missing something.

"She probably hasn't seen it." Miranda commented.

"Seen what?" I was shocked.

"Why are you acting all shocked?" Miranda asked. I was shocked, I had no time to act.

Emma took her phone out and scrolled for a while. Then she turned her phone to me. My eyes widened in surprise and not only that, I felt fire in me. I was started to fume in anger. I felt it, right there in my chest and for it to disappear, I needed to punch a face. Particularly Owen's face. Fuck Owen!

I left Emma and Miranda standing there without saying a word to them and I went to find Owen. They giggled as I left and I rolled my eyes. I should've punched them first.

"What was it?" Janine asked behind me. I did not answer her, I was too angry to. I bumped into Henry's chest. I had a thing of bumping into that guy huh?
