Chapter 22 Rejected Hot Topic

Bradley thinks entering like a rough dude will impress Jade? Cassidy, perhaps. But Jade wont stand for this fake Bradley when she knows the real one wouldn't do this to her infront of the student body

Me and Bradley have become more closer since last week. We are always by eachothers sides, talking and gossiping. Like eachothers guardian angels. We were there for eachother. People thought we were going out because we where inseperable. If I lost him in a crowd, he'd fight his way until he found me. I felt protected, safe. Cassidy has tried to talk to him, but with his past still a hot topic flowing around, he has completely ignored her.
 
Me and Nora where walking down the Cafe in the nice sunny Saturday afternoon. She had her arm linked through mine. "Well," She sighed happily. "Think you and Bradley will hit it off?" She had the most cheekiest smile tickling her face. She kept looking around.
       I coughed with laughter. "We are just friends." I smiled, actually thinking if there was a chance, probably not. Nora was grazing the field, looking everywhere. People started to gather. Then people filed out the Cafe with their orders. Some one shouting to 'get out', I squinted my eyes and seen Lewis behind all the gathering groups, he was gesturing for everyone to get out. What was going on?
       Nora had a hold of my waist as she dragged me away from the increasing groups.
Suddenly, I heard a roar of an engine. Then, I flipped my hair to the left of me where the school gates were. There burst through a mini motor. Its colours a blur of blue and black. The wheels kicking up dirt, I buried my face in Nora's side, the dirt coming closer to me. The screeching sound threatening my eardrums. Nora kept tight hold.
        The bike doing a ring formation. I just coughed at this insanity. People cheered and screamed at the entertainment of breaking the rules. I found it horrible.
        I seen Cassidy jumping up and down in her short denim shorts with a tank top showing her belly and belly bar. I thought she was stupid, but it was a nice sunny day after all.
        Soon after the rush, the engine was turned off. I looked to see a guy in a black helmet climb off his bike and remove his helmet. He turned to me. Bradley.
It was Bradley. I gwaked in shock. This isn't Bradley.
         He came towards me, brown hair flicking and eyes a genuine harsh blue, I tried to run, but I forgot Nora's hold on me. This was set up!
         I was wanting to get away, but I guess I had to stay. What an entrance.
He was by my side, Nora let go. I wanted to run, but then I'd embarrass myself if Bradley had to run after me and me falling over. Nora was close by my side, as well as Lewis, groups of boys and girl gathered around us. mostly girls with their drinks. They where screaming and probably knew what was going on. I just stood as Bradley took my hands. His rough biker hands felt cold and harsh. Not Bradley's normal hands. His hands are smooth, large, warm and gentle.
         "Jade," I kept my head down. I felt everyone staring, I didn't want to make myself out as stubborn, but this is not for their benifit, but for me. "Jade." He said it more gentle. I noticed that voice. That voice that calmed me, soothed me. I realised all the girls were touching him. I couldn't keep up with this competition. All these pretty, thin, smart girls wanted Bradley. I had no room here, I didn't belong here. "Will you go out with me?"
         The crowd made a dangerous uproar to make me go deaf. I just gasped and began to cry. I had no space in this world. He thinks it's just better asking me out infront of everyone to prove a point? I just snatched my hands from him. I felt sick. I didn't feel right, this didn't feel right.
          All the girls screams masked my quiet "no."
Bradley came closer, but I moved my head, people noticed that and made sly comments, snickering. I heard a humph behind me, no guess that's Cassidy.
          "What?" He giggled by my ear. I raised my head.
"NO!" I made it crystal clear so everyone could hear. "Get It?!" I shouted at him. He looked hurt, his blue eyes wavered. I didn't mean to hurt him, but this is not how I wanted it! I turned away from him, and there was Cassidy. Bradley, right on queue swiveled me back around.
            "Why 'no'?" He seemed broken, quiet while all the girls where screaming around us. "I need you!" He pleaded. I couldn't help but look in his soft eyes that looked like a childs.
             I cried infront of him, infront of everyone. I made sure to let everyone know how precious the Bradley I know is special to me.
             "I need you much, much more." I then pushed through the squashing bodies. I heard Nora scream after me, I just ran to the girls dorm, going to cry the whole way through the night.
               I knew this would be the new 'hot topic' by the end of the year.
