The Bet (The Badboy's Claim Series #1) ✔️

ONE ✓

He shrugged. "It's all good."

The bell went off, making me groan. I spent most of the time talking to him and we haven't discussed one thing about the project.

I stood up, grabbing my belongings. I glanced over at Jaxon who was watching me attentively. "What?"

"Just admiring beauty." I rolled my eyes. "Keep doing that, your eyes are going to get stuck like that." He commented.

"Well, at least I don't get to see you." I smiled and gave him the middle finger. I rushed out of class before he had the chance to say anything else.

I needed to rant to someone about this. No doubt Audrey was going to tease me. We've been friends since middle school and I know how mischievous she is. She takes great pride in it.

My phone vibrated in my skirt pocket. I pulled it out to read the message but, someone pushed me onto the floor. I rolled over to see who was childish enough to pull a fifth-grader prank on me.

Five girls stood in front of me and their leader was no other than Madison Green. We were in high school and they seriously couldn't find something better to do?

They all were wearing a repulsive white t-shirt with Jaxon's face on it. We are supposed to be wearing the school uniform but, Principal Brynes gave up on trying to enforce the dress code on them. He almost got attacked by a group of fangirls. Honestly, I think he is scared of them now. Poor Principal Brynes.

Madison glared at me with her piercing green eyes, smacking on her bubblegum. "Who the hell do you think you are?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Pretty sure I am Kimora Woods."

Her jaw ticked and I smiled before rising to my feet. "So what do you want, Maddy?"

"We heard the way you were talking to Jaxon." Maddy hissed at me. The rest of the girls nodded as they shot me glares.

"What I say to Jaxon doesn't concern any of you." I retorted.

"It concerns all of us because of Jaxon." I held the bridge of my nose. I wanted to slap some sense into them. Why were they so drawn to him? He didn't care about them the way they wanted him to. I'm sure he slept and dumped every one of these fangirls.

"I'm going to class," I grumbled and walked away from the angry mob. I didn't have time to deal with them today. Just when I was about to cut the corner, Maddy stepped in front of me.

She got into my personal space, scowling at me. "I suggest you be nice to Jaxon or else." I knew Maddy could make a person's life a living hell but, I wasn't going to let her bother me. She's practically harmless. All she does is pull pranks and public humiliation.

I scoffed. "Or else what?" My gaze reverted from her to Jaxon who was observing us before looking back at a furious Maddy.

"You're annoying." She snarled and I smiled. "Thanks, I get that a lot. The love of your life is behind you, by the way."

She gasped and swiveled around to Jaxon. She quickly ran her fingers through her blonde hair, giving him a flirtatious smile. "H-Hi Jaxon!" He gave her a wink and she squealed with excitement like a girl who is about to see their favorite singer at a concert. I was going to puke.

Jaxon brought his attention to me. "Hey, pretty eyes." 

I sighed. "Captain douche."

He let out a fake gasp, putting his hand over his heart. "Ouch. That hurt my poor heart."

Maddy scowled at me. "Why do you let this bitch treat you like that?!"

"Who are you calling a bitch?!" I clenched my fists but, Jaxon stepped in between us.

"Ladies, ladies. No need to fight over me." He put his hand on his chest. "I know I'm the perfect man of your dreams but, I can always visit two at one time."

I shuttered. "I don't want nightmares."

He frowned. "Ouch again."

"I hope that was your ego this time."

"Hello?!" Maddy exasperated. I forgot she was here that quick. "You can leave now." I shooed her. Maddy screamed in frustration and stormed off while the rest of her minions trailed behind her as they all shot a glare at me.

I sighed in relief before I resumed heading to my class again. I checked my phone again and it was just a text from my father saying he couldn't pick me up because he was working late tonight. "I'll take you home if you'd like." I turned my head to see Jaxon looking over my shoulder. I stopped walking, pulling my phone into my chest to hide it from him.

"Okay. What do you want from me?"

He stopped walking too. "I just wanted to know what your name is?"

"You know my name." I raised an eyebrow.

He copied. "Yes but, I don't know how to pronounce it."

I sighed, putting my phone into my pocket. It was understandable and I was used to people asking how to say my name. "It's pronounced Kim-more-a."

"Kimora..." My name rolled off his tongue. I felt my face heat up a little. "Alright, call you Kitten."

I deadpanned him before letting out an exhausted sigh. "Goodbye Jaxon." I quickly walked off before he could say anything else.

"See you after school for our project!" He shouted after me as I finally escaped to the safety of my History class.
