My New Neighbour

Chapter twenty-one

"Yeah! Yeah!", I punched his arm playfully which caused him to glare at me.

"What the hell? For a girl, your punch is pretty good", he said while nudging my left arm.

"Stop being sexist, Max", I rolled my eyes at him and wiggled out of his arms but damn! I just couldn't!

"What? Me and sexist? Of course no! I am not a sexist. I was just complimenting you", he cried as he tighten his grasp on me and turned me around completely to face him directly. He freed my right hand and held me by my sides.

"Hey mister, keep your hands to yourself", I groaned and grabbed his arms to pushed him but he shook his head negatively from side to side.

"I'm kind of liking this position right now. Don't you think so? We are currently in a crowded lunchroom with every pair of eyes focussed on us", he winked and then leaned down to peck my left cheek.

It was only then that I noticed all the eyes that were staring at us. Some girls with jealousy while some were throwing daggers at me.

Damn it!

I was hoping to go unnoticed this year too!

I swear I am so gonna kill Max freaking Jackson!

Screw you, Max!

"That's all because of you", I glared at him and slapped my hands repeatedly on his chest.

"Woah! Easy there tigress!", he grabbed my two hands preventing me from beating him and intertwined our fingers together. I felt my heart fluttering and beating a little bit faster. I blushed and looked down to hide my face from him.

He left my right hand and tilted my chin up meeting my eyes. He raised one of his eyebrows and smirked again. I swear it is kind of a casual thing that all bad boys do, huh?

"I love it when you do that", he whispered huskily and pecked my forehead. He leaned his head down toward me and pressed his forehead against mine.

"Do what?", I whispered and closed my eyes when I felt him trailing his fingers on my exposed shoulder.

"Blush like that", he replied, making me look back at him and then winked at me.

I chuckled and punched him on his right shoulder lightly.

"Shut up", I cried and stomped my feet childishly.

He was watching me amusingly and shook his head slightly at my childish behaviour.

I felt his eyes strained on me.

He was making me blushed more harder. He snickered when he noticed my red cheeks.

"You will surely kill me when you blush like that", he admitted after some time and then squeezed my left hand which he did not leave since he grabbed it slightly. My hand moulded with his perfectly as if it belonged to be held in his forever and ever.

I was really turning into one of those girls who keep swooning over hot boys all the time. Or is it just because it is the first time a boy is talking to me in such a way.

Yeah! You heard that one right! I never had a boyfriend. I just never felt the need to have one. Aubrey always tried to make me talk to a certain boy to see if I liked him to go out with him. But, I was never interested.

Anyway, there's always a first.

"Come with me", Max said breaking up my trance.

"Where?", I asked as he lifted my tray of food and began walking dragging me along with him never breaking his hold on my hand.

He stopped at his usual table and placed my tray in front of an empty seat.

And guess where?

If you haven't guess it yet then it was where he usually sit along with all the populars aka the bitches, the jocks, the cheerleaders and, most importantly, the players and the bad boys.

I felt all of them staring at me and I smiled sheepishly and I swear it was a forced smile as I squeezed Max's hand more tightly.

And of course, Sandy was also sitting here!

Oh hell! No way!

I just wish that the ground will open up and swallow me right then and there.
