I didn't want to be here.

School that is.

Usually, I didn't have a hard time paying attention in class. Especially not in English, which happened to be my favorite subject. But I couldn't help but stare at the empty desk a few rows in front of me.

School had only just started a few weeks prior and the boy who was supposed to occupy that seat, had been there maybe twice. How does someone get away with not coming to class so often?

"Hello? Earth to Rose!"

I rolled my eyes at the theatrics Lilli Chen tried to throw at me to get my attention. She was waving her hand in front of my face until I finally glanced over at her. "What do you want? I'm trying to learn."

"Doesn't quite look like you're paying attention at all. Besides, it's not like you need anymore information in there," she leaned over and tapped my head. "Your brain must be so full of useless junk. It could explode at any minute."

"Your point?" I deadpanned.

She sighed and whispered, "can you believe he's actually here today? He's never here."

"Who are you talking about Lils?"

She narrowed her eyes and me and then looked pointedly to the front of the room. There, Ace Carter was standing, about to walk over to his usually empty desk. "Ace, Ro, I'm talking about Ace."

Ace Carter was a bad kid, from what I had learned since Kindergarten. He and his friends were notorious for getting into a few fights, flirting and fucking most girls at our school.

There was Ryder Park; who played football up until last year after a bad knee injury. But somehow still kept the status of the best wide receiver around here. His dark blonde hair and blue eyes were a selling point to the girls here, making them all swoon with one look.

Then, there was Kaz Holzer. He was the scariest out of the three of them. His dark brown hair and dark brown eyes seemed to judge every passing body that went near him. And I had even heard he had been arrested once.

But then there was Ace Carter. Everyone knew he was a narcissistic douche canoe who literally and figuratively screwed anything and everything with a pulse and a vagina.

But I will admit, Ace was hot; steaming cocoa on a winter night hot. His dark caramel colored hair and dark green eyes was enough for any girl to faint over. Plus, he had to be at least 6'1, that in itself was swoon worthy.
