feelings, ” she snaps, shaking her head like she doesn ’ t believe in any of that. Her voice breaks. “ From now on, you ’ re dead to me. ”
    “ India, this isn ’ t like that. I told them —”
    I don ’ t get the chance to explain myself because there is movement in the back of the canteen. Then Jacob barges through, breathing hard. His brown eyes sweep the scene and then he spots me. I take a step towards India, but then Evans moves in front of her.
    “ That was a nasty move, man. Just leave before you do any more damage, ” Jacob says.   He has a red mark under his eye. Aaron and the rest of the guys barge in after him, but they just stand in the entrance staring at me, slightly baffled. I swear under my breath, ready to smash my fists into Evans ’ s face because he is holding my India.
    “ India, listen to me! This isn ’ t what it looks like. I can explain! ” I yell, but she doesn ’ t even look at me anymore. Jacob pushes me away from her while Sam follows after us. India vanishes shortly after that, holding Evans ’ s hand, hurrying away to the other entrance. Jacob sends an unexpected punch to my gut, and for a split second I can ’ t catch my breath. Then I lose it and come back to him, slamming my fists into his face. Frustration boils in my mind, inflaming my anger, but a few seconds later someone pulls me away from him. Raw, instinctive emotions are overwhelm me. I can ’ t keep losing my temper like that. I need to wind down and stop behaving like some wild teenager.
    “ Calm down, Olie. She ’ s gone; it ’ s over, ” says a voice that I recognise as Aaron ’ s.
    “ Fuck, I ’ m all right; just let go of me, ” I snap, breathing hard.
    Jacob glares at me, massaging his cheek.
    “ I don ’ t want your cash, Sam. We discussed this before and I told you that I ’ d changed my mind, but you still showed up! James has pulled the video down, and I suggest anyone who already watched it forget about it. Pronto! ” I shout, glancing around at everyone in the canteen, clenching my fists so hard my fingers are numb.  
    “ I know that you told me to leave it, but look what this whole thing got you. You ’ re five hundred quid richer, Olie, ” Sam says with his arrogant smirk. “ How about another bet? I ’ ll double your money if you make her go out with you again? ”
    Sam obviously has no idea what I ’ m talking about. I know that he is winding me up, but he just crossed the line. I throw myself at him with the pure desire of hurting him as deeply as I can. At the same time, Jacob lets go of me, screaming at me to calm down. My mind stops registering what ’ s going on. Next thing I know, some catering stuff runs towards us and we ’ re separated. I fall back into despair knowing that India hates me so much that she ’ ll never forgive me.

Chapter Three
    The monsters from the past.

    Present

    Someone calls security, and shortly after that we are kicked out of the canteen. I ’ m fuming, and my heart pounds in my chest like I ’ m about to have a heart attack. Sam won ’ t get away with that comment, but then my own arrogance tells me that it ’ s all my fault. I ’ m the one that came up with this pathetic idea in the beginning of the year. The snickers and whispers don ’ t stop until Jacob and I step outside. He will have a black eye tomorrow, and my abdominal muscles are aching like hell.
    “ I value our friendship, but you ’ re ruining everything, man! Even with India ’ s shitty past, she didn ’ t deserve it. Just stay away from her from now on. ”
    I have nothing to say to him, so I walk away trying to clear my head, feeling like this old wound from the past is slowly opening up. I skip the rest of my classes, knowing that I have to start controlling my temper. The fighting won ’ t get me anywhere. In my mind I can only see India ’ s eyes filled with hate and raging pain. Jacob doesn ’ t get what ’ s going on, but he is right. If I could overlook
