Cory Wilson's World

Chapter six: You Did It Again

"I can stick up for myself!" Alya snaps at Riz.

"You don't have to come, the invite is for Nas ain't it," Cory mutters.

"Is this a joke?" Nas asks him.

"A joke? You think someone fancying ya is a joke? Come on what ya saying Nas?" Cory questions.

"She says no!" Alya shouts and they all walk away. Riz and I continue to class.

"Good morning," Miss Keane greets us as we walk into English, I take my seat beside Shannon and Dan. I see Jake approach Nas and everyone goes quiet.

"Do you wanna hangout at the wreck tonight?" He asks her. I smirk.

"No, she doesn't," Alya answers for her.

"You let her tell you what to do," Jake chuckles.

"All I want is a kiss!" Dan calls out and stands up. I tug on his sleeve.

"Dan sit down," I laugh.

"You were well pretty before you started dressing like one of them," Jake says and hands Nas his phone number.

"One of them? Nice," Alya scoffs.

"Oi! What's going on?" Cory asks as he stands up.

"You think you're the only one? I could get her easy!" Jake brags. I roll my eyes, he's practically telling everyone our plan.

"Actually, no one could get me easy!" Nas snaps and storms out. The whole class goes 'ooooo'. Cory volunteers to go and find her.

Halfway through the lesson, I stick my hand up.

"Miss can I go to the toilet?" I ask her. She nods and I grab my bag before walking out the classroom. I don't actually need the toilet, I'm going to find Cory.

I walk up the stairs and I see a sight I never thought that I'd see - Cory and Nas - sat on the windowsill - lips locked. My eyes gloss over and my heartbreaks, I want to scream at them but I can't, he's done it before and I should've known he'd do it again. I run away and I don't let my tears fall, I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry, I'm not going to cry.

"Oi, why aren't you in lesson! Isolation now!" Mr Qureshi half shouts.

"Happily Sir," I snark before storming off to isolation. Not fifteen minutes later, the cheater himself walks in and sits in the cubicle one away from me.

"Oi!" He whisper shouts to try and get my attention. I don't give him the satisfaction. He doesn't give up though, he throws a note at me. I pick it up, it reads:

You been a naughty girl? ;)

I roll my eyes at him, he frowns.

"Honestly Cory just stop with your crude flirting!" I snap at him.

"You are so in love with me," he chuckles. I scoff.

"Yeah well I guess you can't help who you fall for!" I fire back. His face drops.

Aunt Mandy, Uncle Sadiq and Miss Keane all come in.

"Cory, Alexis, you can both go back to class," Aunt Mandy tells us, Cory winks at me as we place our book on the desk and we head out. Uncle Sadiq then gives Alya a lecture.
