Chapter 5

Aurora's POV

The alarm clock woke me out of my sleep, causing me to groan from annoyance. I hardly slept last night thinking about Blake and that girl I now knows name is Tanya. I didn't understand what was going on with me. When I saw Blake with Tanya, I felt like my heart was breaking. Like he was betraying me by being with her. It didn't make sense for me to react that way because I didn't even know him.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower. Once I was done showering, I put on a blue sundress, did my hair, and brushed my teeth. Then I walked out of the bathroom, grabbed my purse and bag, and left my room. John was in the kitchen eating cereal. I decided to make myself a bowl of cereal because we still hadn't gone grocery shopping.

"Are you feeling better today?" John asked.

"Yeah," I lied. I still felt a slight pain in my chest and couldn't stop thinking about Blake. I felt like he was the only thing I thought about since meeting him in the bathroom with Tanya. John and I headed out of the house and to his car so that he could take me to school.

"Hey, Aurora," I heard Brandy say before stepping into John's car. I turned around and saw Blake standing beside Brandy. I couldn't help but think about how hot he looked in his jeans and a black t-shirt that did nothing to hide his muscular chest.

"Good morning Aurora," Blake said. I looked up to see him smirking at me. I knew he had caught me checking him out.

"Hello," I said, knowing my cheeks were red as a tomato.

"I was wondering if you wanted to ride with us to school?" Brandy asked.

"That is unnecessary. I was about to take my sister to school," John said.

"But you have to get to work early today, remember. You don't want to be late," Blake said, and I didn't miss the way John glared at Blake.

"I will ride with them," I said.

"Are you sure? I could still take you," John asked.

"Yeah, I am sure," I replied.

"Alright, I will pick you up later," John said.

"I forgot to tell you that I need you to work an hour late today. But don't worry, I will take Aurora home," Blake said, and John let out an annoying sigh before looking back at me.

"Are you okay with riding home with him?" John asked. I could hear the concern in his voice.

"Yeah, I will be fine," I replied.

"Okay, but if you need me, call," John said.

"Okay, Bye, bro," I said.

'bye little bit," John said and then looked at Blake. "Take care of her," John said.

"Of course," Blake said, and then Blake, Brandy, and I headed to Blake's car.

"You can sit in the front," Brandy said as I was about to get in the back seat.

"I don't mind sitting in the back," I replied.

"I insist. I don't like sitting in the front seat anyway," She said.

"Okay," I said and then got in the passenger side. Brandy got in the backseat while Blake got on the driver's side and began to drive to school.

"Are you feeling better today?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, " I replied.

"That's good. I wanted to tell you that I am sorry about how we met," Blake said.

"You don't need to be sorry. Tanya is your girlfriend," I said.

"Not anymore," He said.

"What do you mean," I asked.

"We broke up," He said.

I was confused because just yesterday, they had been having sex in the girl's bathroom, and now they weren't together anymore. I was also happy to hear that he wasn't with her anymore.

"Sorry to hear that," I lied.

"Really," He asked.

"Yeah, I mean, you must really have cared for her," I said.

"Not really. We were going to break up eventually. I knew she wasn't the right one for me," He said.

"Then why were you with her?" I asked, and he was silent for a moment before he responded.

"To be honest, I don't know," he said, and I laughed.

I didn't believe him. I knew exactly why he was with her, which made me feel a pain in my chest.

"What," He asked.

"I don't believe you," I said.

"Why?"

"Because I know you were with her because she let you fuck, and I know that you enjoyed it," I said, feeling angry. Why was I feeling angry?

"Aurora," He said softly, but I quickly walked out of the car. I didn't want to hear any of his excuses. I was angry that he fucked Tonya, and I was sure she wasn't the only one. I made my way into the school and began looking for my locker.

"Aurora waits up," Brandy said. I turned around and saw her running towards me. I had completely forgotten that she was in the car with Blake and me.

"Hey, Brandy," I said, still upset.

"Hey, are you okay? I could tell you were upset in the car," Brandy said.

"You saw that?" I asked.

"Yeah, I was in the backseat," Brandy said and chuckled.

"I am sorry. I don't know what came over me, and I know he is your brother," I said.

"Don't worry about it. You did the right thing putting him in check like that. He deserved it after what he did," She said.

"What do you mean?" I asked. Yeah, I caught him having sex in the bathroom with another girl, but it wasn't like we were dating. I didn't have a right to go off on him the way I did.

"Forget about it. Let me see your schedule. I know you missed school yesterday because you passed out. I will show you to your classes," Brandy said, and I showed her my schedule. I was happy to find out that we shared a few classes. She also told me that we have lunch together, and Blake has our lunch and gym class.

I walked into my first period and gave my pass to the teacher. He assigned me a seat, and I sat, waiting for class to begin. The students started to come into class, and I was shocked when I saw Tanya walk in and sat a couple of seats away from me. I didn't miss the way she glared at me.
