“Yeah but I’m two years below the three of you. You’ll be gone one day and I’ll be stuck here on my own. I need someone to talk to.”
“That’s ages away. Don’t worry about it.”
“She kind of has a point though, doesn’t she?” Zie says softly. “She’s not in our classes. So she needs someone to sit with and talk to. At the very least for when she gets set projects and things.”
“Okay,” Axel begrudgingly admits. “Let me think on it, and I’ll pick a few options.”
I want to slap him for trying to dictate to my friends, but Kaiden catches my eye and smirks. It’s just the way Axel is and it’s easier to just go along with him. Let him think he’s in charge and do what I want in secret.
I dream of being brave enough to really stand up to Axel one day, but as he tucks me under his arm and leads me away to a table with the other third years, I know that today is not that day.
I don’t want her having friends. I don’t want her hanging out with anyone but us. I’m certainly not about to let any boys go near her. I’m going to have to get hold of all of her class lists and vet who’s in them.
I may need my father to step in and ensure there’s no silly ‘boy-girl’ seating plans. If possible I’ll get her male teachers switched out too. I don't want anyone looking at what’s mine. Don’t even get me started on group projects…
Things weren’t this complicated at our old school. But she wants a friend, and as much as I loathe the idea, I actually can’t stand the thought of her being alone and miserable.
So I need to find her someone to be friends with. Just one. A single, reliable, loyal girlfriend who will tick her boxes and mine.
My main box?
Finding someone who won’t take her away from me.
