The Jocks mate is the school nerd

Peeled paint walls

Colton's POV

I stared off at the back wall of the canteen, the paint was peeling off just like in the locker room. The earlier events still fresh in my mind.

*FLASHBACK*

Bradley walked into the changing rooms gesturing for me to come outside, he checked if we were alone and then proceeded to talk.
"Why did you do that back there"
"do what" I asked trying to act dumb
"don't act dumb, it doesn't suit- actually it does suit you but that's not the point"
"excuse m-" he cut me off sighing
"look I know you feel like you cant talk to her because of him but a great alpha would never let someone's opinion affect the choices he makes"

"they would never approve brad" I sighed shaking my head
"who cares. anyway I can read minds so if anything goes wrong" I laughed along with him

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Carly, can we talk"

"I thought we were" she said rather sarcastically

"i mean in private"
she looked at Lauren as if she needed her approval Lauren just shrugged

"Sure, whatever"
she slowly followed me out of the canteen, she dragged her fingers along the old wooden tables that lined the corridor unused.

I opened the door to the old art room and let her in first but she just stood there awkwardly

"are you gonna go in" she asked she asked oblivious to the fact that I was holding the door open for her

"i opened it for you"

"oh"
she shuffled into the old room, tables covered with paint stained dust sheets filled the room

"why did you pick here"

she asked looking concerned about the fact that I had just walked her into a secluded room no one visits. Thinking about it, it was quite creepy.
The makeup on her face was trying to hide the bruise i had inflicted
"god, i'm sorry about you know.." i said reaching out to touch her face, she flinched as my hand gently touched the bruise.

"I didn't mean to hurt you"

"i'm sorry, i just don't understand why you're talking to me. We've never been friends and now you want to talk in private and apologise for something you didn't do" she paused fiddling with her hair "I just don't get it Colton"

she looked down switching the hair fiddling to hand fiddling

"i don't know, i'm just sorry, that's all. I'm sorry"

She exhaled loudly through her nose before walking towards the door and leaving.
And just like that i was frozen and again i had no idea why.
