I walked into the school building exhausted when I let out a gigantic groan. School yay!
I unwillingly dragged myself to my locker as my head was aching with pain. I knew I shouldn't have drank, I wasn't one who could necessarily handle their alcohol as you would say.
Some things were slowly coming into my head of last nights date with Seth, I mean I remembered things here and there. One thing seemed to be bothering me though. I kept getting this image of Seth leaving my house with disappointment, did I let something slip I shouldn't have?
Everything flew to the very back of my head when I heard a locker slam shut next to mine. I jumped mid way in the air as they mumbled, "Sorry", and walked pass me without so much as another look.
My shoulders fell as I put in my combination and popped open the locker. I grunted when I realized I had to go to my first hour. I missed way too many classes, with all the wandering I've been doing, to not go.
On the brighter side, we had Carter in our class now and he was sure to bring a few laughs to the class. Seeing as he wasn't as mean and unbearable as his good friend Anderson. Of course other girls would beg to differ.
"Hey", a perky voice exclaimed into my ear. I jerked around while my heart beat stopped for a short second.
"You hurt my head and scared me", I complained while letting my hand fall onto my head. I exaggerated a huge gush of air that left my body.
She giggled lightly and said with big eyes, "What'd you do last night?"
I smiled brightly and replied coyly, "Went on a date.... with Seth,.."
She gasped while gripping my arm and turned to me with even bigger eyes than before, "Seth Wright?!"
I nodded my head sheepishly as she stared at me in shock. I mean I did tell her, or she assumed, there was something between Seth and I right? So wasn't it only normal for us to go on a date.
"Erika, you should blink before I slap you" I said jokingly even though if it came down to it I probably would. Just a day or so of knowing her and we were already becoming great friends.
She let a small giggle leave her lips as she apologized, "Sorry...", she gave me a cheek filling smile and said with a wink, "but bitch you better give me all the details."
I laughed at her comment while linking my arm through her's, "Erika Sluttywhore Belson, we just might be best friends."
Although my headache was giving me excruciating pain I tried to push it to the back of my mind. Which seemed nearly impossible, but not completely.
She smiled brightly while nudging me slightly. She eyed Seth as he walked by with James and a few other friends, "There goes lover boy."
I felt my cheeks warm up and could feel the redness pouring from them.
As they walked Seth and James walked by I noticed James caught my eye as he yelled over the crowd of people, "Hey beautiful, there's a party on Friday... feel free to come."
He gave me a wink while chuckling at Seth's expression, even I had to admit his face was priceless.
And just as I thought my day was getting better I heard that arrogant voice, "Miss me, princess?"
I snapped my head around to see him leaning against the lockers as usual. I gave him a deadly glare, and just as I was about to reply when I was cut off.
"And hello to you too, Erika."
I felt the tension as his eyes soured over Erika. I saw the lust in his eyes, not just that, but something else I couldn't put my fingers on.
"What do you want?" I directed to him with irritation.
He smirked widely while remaining his eyes on the one and only Erika. His lips parted as he said sexily and not once looking at me, "I just came here to finish our conversation yesterday...."
What the hell was he talking about? And why was he talking to Erika and not me?
A pain rushed through my insides as my blood began to boil. Why was I so worked up over him giving all his attention to her. Maybe it was just because I didn't want him annoying my friend like he does so well with me.
"Get lost." Erika said with firm eyes, but she seemed to be hinting something to him. Like she didn't want me to know something... who knows?
My eyes narrowed with curiosity as I watched and listened to them carefully.
"Don't be like that babe, I just wanted to apologize for me leaving so suddenly. Its just some things aren't meant for certain ear's to know." Bobby said with amusement but more or so a warning voice.
Erika rolled her eyes as Bobby came closer, their bodies now inches apart. And with each second I stared at them my blood turned into a ticking bomb, ready to go off any minute.
"Don't worry... babe." Erika said mocking him, "I could care less about you or your plans."
He brushed his hands through his hair as he mumbled, enough to hear if your listened carefully, like me, "When did you get so feisty?"
I was about to say something when he whispered to her in a seductive tone and staring in her eyes, "If you keep this up I just might have to make you fall in love with me again."
I saw the pain in her eyes as his words struck home with her. And I was about to go all out on him, how dare he talk to her like that?!?!
"Yo-"
And then I saw her body fall into his as she clamped her eyes shut and embraced him.
Why... WHY THE HELL WAS SHE HUGGING THIS INSENSITIVE DOUCHE
He stroked his fingers down her long locks as I saw some thing in his cold eyes that made me jealous.
He was feeling something for her;something I hadn't seen from him before now.
How come it bothered me so much to know she could make him drop his guard so easily?
With out realizing what I was doing my feet were carrying me away from them. If I stood there a minute longer I don't think I would've been able to stop myself from letting the pain of seeing them together out power me.
This didn't hurt at all! He had no affect on me... his words were useless and I could careless what he did with other girls. This was no different, she was just my best friend, and I had to look out for her. Something he was more than likely incapable of doing, seeing how he'd break her heart the moment he got the chance to.
It wasn't long before I snapped into reality and noticed the halls were cleared out. I sighed in frustration while mumbling to myself, "great.... I'm gonna be late."
I felt a strong hand rest on my shoulder which sent me into a spaz attack. I turned around almost instantly and punched the person in the face. Well, nose...
My hands cupped my mouth in shock as I watched some blood flow from their nose, they weren't expecting that.
"Ow" He moaned a little while giving me a glare.
I laughed nervously before biting my lip and scratching my arm. I wanted to say sorry, but was too stubborn. He deserved it, he was a complete ass after all.
"What?" I asked coldly as if I never punched him.
He smirked at my attitude and came closer letting our bodies touch. He cocked his head to the side as he said with much amusement, "Biting your lip is a no-no, unless you want me to do this."
Before I could even react he was leaving soft kisses down my neck and began sucking on a patch of my skin, my soft spot. My weakness. There were of course more that he hadn't found yet.
I bit my lip refusing to let his ears take pleasure in my pleasure. No way was I giving him that satisfaction. I hope he didn't forget that I was going to prove to be better at this game. Which he didn't believe, honestly I didn't either, but my stubborn trait was too proud to back down.
I my mouth trail slow kisses up his neck when I found my way to the small behind his ear just near his jaw, as I had found to be one of his soft spots. I started sucking on the skin aggressively as I had done previously, knowing that he'd get pleasure from a small gesture.
His lips quivered as he let out a soft moan, which slowly was growing louder. I pressed myself against him making sure our bodies were so close I could every inch of him, which of course was vise versa.
His hands found my hip as he dug his fingers into me only then did I found myself letting out a moan in delight. My eyes widened, did I really just moan because he grabbed my hip roughly?
He smirked at my reaction and whispered knowingly, "Little miss princess likes it rough huh?"
I didn't want to admit anything to him, because I knew it was true. Even I was surprised with my reaction. I hated knowing that he found things out without my permission, I hated that he knew things about me I didn't know, I hated him for seeing right through me.
I shoved us roughly against the lockers as I let my hot breath hit his soft lips. I breathed heavily as I let my hands slide up his shirt and onto his back. He smirked thinking he was in control, well if he was cocky enough to think that than he had another thing coming.
My lips parted as I broke the space between us and neared to his ear. I whispered with knowing eyes and tone, "What are you doing Mr. Anderson?"
I could feel the smirk rise on his face as he asked innocently, "What do you mean princess?"
I let out an airy fake laugh while letting my ear graze over his earlobe and replied, "Erika's not a toy, doll, don't treat her like one."
He chuckled in his deep voice clearly entertained by me.
Hell, I'd enjoy the sight of me too!
"Is that really what you care about Swanders?.... Or are you just afraid she'll stand in the way?" He questioned as I stared past his locks of hair trying to find the words to speak. As much as I hate this prick he sure has a way with words.
My teeth grinded to a numb as I spoke bitterly, "Don't go around breaking hearts, especially my friend's heart."
He pulled away from me slightly to meet eyes with mine. As said before, damn those eyes. His eyebrows rose in amusement as he spoke clear as the day, "Babe, don't be so bitter, its starting to look bad on you."
All my thoughts erupted at once into the thin air, and then all I thought was nothing. Absolutely nothing. One by one I started piecing everything together. So he did pay attention. I guess all things do come full circle huh?
I remembered.... I tried to fuck with that cocky ego of his by telling him, and I quote "You shouldn't try so hard to look bad, its starting to look bad on you."
I smirked knowing that I was atleast in his head, whether he wanted me to be or not. I've been in and out of schools so many times;I know when a bad boy is drowning in the water. For now I wouldn't mention this little piece of information that would let him know that he was warming up to me. If I did that he'd be sure to take two steps back.
If your gonna play the bad boy heartbreaker #1 Rule: (Other than not falling in love with him) You got to make him fall in love with you without him realizing it, because once he does realize... then you're toast!
"Why do you have to beat around the bush? Huh?" I asked clearly irritated with his childish behavior. I was starting to catch on to his frequent I-don't-care-what-you-have-to-say-so-lets-change-the-subject attitude.
He chuckled lightly completely pulling his skin away from me. He set his feet a couple feet away and setting distance between us. I almost forgot to be cautious with him, I do recall listening on a certain conversation he had in the supply closet.
I nearly forgot he was up to something... But now that I remember I am more than determined to find out, one way or another.
"Listen... I'd love to stay and chat but Savannah's waiting for me, so if you don't mind" He retorted. Of course doing the whole beating around the bush act. I rolled my eyes while crossing my hands over my chest. His smile said it all, the way he had it plastered crookedly on his delicious face. He wanted a reaction. So I'd give him what he wanted, after all, he's gotta fall in love with me somehow.
My eyes dropped in fake disapproval as my lip formed into a pout. I almost felt the urge to bite my lip or cup my hand against my mouth to suppress a laugh fit. Luckily, It took one swallow before it was out of my system. He took notice to my expression as his orbs lit up with pure gold.
So he got what he wanted...
And he thought he was winning....
As confusing as He and I were, this game as you would call it was something we couldn't be more sure about. We were both determined to prove the other wrong, which made this all the harder; getting him to fall in love with me that is.
"Don't get so jealous babe, We can finish what we started another day. Ya?" His corners tugged into a crooked smile as he winked before turning on his heel.
But before he could leave my sight he stopped in his tracks not daring to look back as he asked sounding as if he already knew the answer, "Hey... would you happen to know why Seth looked... I don't know... disappointed this morning?"
And with that his laughter as well as he dissipated into an airy silence.
I lowered my head to the tiled floors as a headache was becoming present. Just what I needed. I couldn't help but over analyze his question...
Did he know something I didn't? What happened with Seth last night? Ughhhh, I hate when I can't remember things!
And all I could do was grunt in frustration as I stomped off to class. I might even consider dating the same gender as myself if I can't come to an understanding with the male species.
"And they say females are confusing." I mumbled under my breath clearly confused by everything that had happened the past 24 hours, including my little encounter just recently with Bobby.
