Mr. Wrong is Mr. Right

CHAPTER SEVEN

CHAPTER SEVEN

I arrive home and park my car in the driveway. Everything that just occurred outside my car twenty minutes ago keeps playing over again in my mind. I'm Antonio's new tutor, I have to tutor the bad boy of the school, my crush. Oh boy what have I gotten myself into. I open my door and head inside my house. I call out for my mom, but there's no answer so she's probably at her second job.

I head into the kitchen to get something to drink. I open the refrigerator and get a bottle of water. I almost finish the bottle in two gulps, I'm guessing I was thirsty. As I'm about to grab an apple off the counter I hear the front door open. In walks my oldest brother Jordan with my other two brothers Malik and Josiah.

"Hey guys, what are y'all doing here?" I ask hugging all three of them.

"Nothing just checking on you little sis." Jordan says

"Jordan's loco, I came for food and only food." Malik and Josiah say at the same time.

"Ha ha, whatever guys! Anyway whatever you guys are doing here sadly I can't be bothered right now. I got to go get ready for bowling night so I'll talk to you guys later." I say

They all give me a bored expression and say the same thing, "No revealing outfits and STAY away from BOYS!" Emphasizing the words stay and boys, I roll my eyes and run upstairs flaring my arms to shoo them off. They all laugh hysterically as I roll my eyes knowing they can't see me.

I enter my room and close my door heading to my walk in closet. My room is pretty decent for a room. I have my own bathroom, a walk in closet, a love seat, a dresser, and my queen sized bed. I love my room because it expresses me. I walk inside my closet and start rummaging through my clothes. I pick out my favorite black skinny jeans, a grey top with skulls on it and a leather jacket. I pair this outfit with my black vans and throw my hair up into a ponytail. I head into my bathroom and brush my teeth. I don't wear makeup so I just put some coco butter lotion on my face and exit my bathroom. When I get back in my room I hear my phone beep. I open it up and see a message from an unknown number. I wonder who this could be?

The messages says:

*see you at the bowling alley tonight, wear something cute😉.*

I wonder who this could be, but before I can think about it more my phone rings. I look at the caller ID and see Dora calling me.

"Hello" I say

"Hey Izzy, where are you? We're all here waiting on you. Are you still coming chica?" She asks me. I hear a bunch of noises in the back. Probably all my friends having fun. I look at the time and realize I am late. It's seven thirty and I was supposed to be there at seven.

"Crap Dora sorry, yes I'm coming just lost track of time. I'm on my way now okay?" I say grabbing my satchel and keys walking out the door.

"Alright Izzy hurry up, Anthony is getting nervous because Andrea is here." She says and I can tell she's trying not to laugh.

"Oh gosh I say, he's definitely loco! I'm on my way now!" I say holding back laughter. Anthony is so awkward about girls.

"Kay Kay, see ya when you get here." She says I hang up and head to the kitchen

"Bye guys I gotta go." I say to my brothers walking to the door. I hear "bye's" "too revealing" "have fun" and "we love you" as I walk to my car and head to the bowling alley.

I arrive at the bowling alley and park my car. I look around the parking lot and spot Eudora, Anthony, and Jazz's car. I hurry up and walk inside the bowling alley. I remember the message I was sent earlier and wonder who it could be.

~Wear something cute.~

~I'll see you later~

As I'm pondering in my head of who it could be Anthony walks up and puts his arm over my shoulder.

"Izzy about time you got here, we were beginning to worry you got mobbed or something. You're never late." He says and it's true I'm never late. But with the conversation between me and Antonio, the run-in with my brothers, and the text I lost track of time.

"Sorry just a long day. Let's go bowl alright!" I say changing the subject. Knowing Anthony he'll probably ask me what's wrong later. What is wrong, I don't even know myself.

We walk up to the rest of the gang and I spot Andrea. She's just having a conversation with Christina while glancing at Anthony. Then she looks between me and Anthony an I realize his arm is still around my shoulder. I forgot she's new, so she doesn't know that Anthony is my best friend. I nudge Anthony is his side and give him the look to talk to Andrea. He complies and walks over to Andrea to start up a conversation. I smile and turn my attention to Dora and Dylan.

"So are we ready to kick some ass Dora or is your boyfriend here gonna take you away from me?" I ask her with a smirk.

She laughs, "Of course not Izzy, let's go get everybody's team set up." She takes my arm and drags me the score computer. I turn around and catch Dylan pouting. Aww they're so cute.

We finish matching up the teams and we have: Dylan and Zach, Jazzmine and Christina, Anthony and Andrea, and Eudora and I. As Dora is about to get up and bowl, I hear someone clear there throat behind me. I turn around and Antonio is standing behind me with a smirk along with his best friend Noah.

"Mind if we join you guys?" Antonio asks while looking into my eyes. I blush at his intense gaze until Eudora clears her throat.

"Yea sure that'd be fine! Why don't you team up with Izzy here and I'll take your friend." She says while giving me a thumbs up. When did she start liking the so called "jerk" in her book? Wait she just told Antonio he could team up with me. I'm going to be playing side by side with Antonio, my crush!

I blush and turn around my seat before he can see me. I quickly change the names on the score computer and add Noah with Eudora. I feel somebody sit beside me and I turn my head to see who it is. None other than Antonio is sitting beside with the biggest smirk on his face.

He whispers in my ear, "I see you took my advice and wore something cute." And then he winks at me! Gahh he just winked at me! Wait...the message was from him! Oh my god! I turn my head and blush, he thought my outfit was cute. I get up and walk over to the ball rack. I grab my ball and steady myself at the lane to release my ball. As I'm about to release it I feel a pair of hands on my waist. I turn around face and I'm faced with a smirking Antonio. Of course he has a smirk on his face.

"Let me help you." He says

"Uh-yeah-umm-uh yeah okay" I stutter and shake my head because I'm so obtuse. He turns my waist to the left and I shiver. His touch is so unexpected I just want to melt in his arms. I breath in his minty scent as his breath tickles the back of my neck.

"Alright now when I say release the ball, you release it okay?" He whispers in my ear. My breath hitches and I think about passionately kissing him. I almost miss it when he says release, but I release it and the ball rolls done the lane. I get a strike and I start jumping up and down. As I'm walking back to my seat Antonio whispers something in my ear

"Nice strike.." He says while brushing past me to sit down. The night continues with Dora getting strikes, Dylan getting jealous for no reason, Anthony flirting with Andrea, and Jazzmine sucking faces with Zach all night. We all call it a night with Antonio and I winning, while the rest pout because they lost. As I'm leaving the bowling alley I feel someone walking behind me. I turn around and see Antonio starring at me.

"Umm did you need something?" I ask. He steps closer until our faces are almost touching. I stare into his eyes and wait until he says something.

"I had fun tonight, thanks for letting me join you guys. I'll see you tomorrow at three Isabella." He says and walks away to his car. I release a breath I didn't know I was holding and get into my car. I put my head on my steering wheel and think about all that happened. Today was a very long day, I wonder what's gonna happen tomorrow. He just called me by my full name and I didn't even scold him for it. It sounded good coming from him.

I drive home and park my car in the driveway. I get out and head inside the house. I yell goodnight to my mom and head into my room. I change into my pajamas and jump into my bed. I'm so tired I instantly fall asleep.
