Chapter 11 - Angel and the Devil
TAYLOR'S POV
Two week's later, after the party, AL and I continues to annoy and prank each other with unlimited whip cream and a bucket of slime that I master cooking with magical cornstarch and coloring food. She on the other hand is getting really physical, tripping me over the floor, punching me on my shoulder or stomach, pinning me to the walls of girls locker room, dragging me inside of a vacant classroom or CR and make out... Don't ask me, I don't have any idea why or when that happens. Really physical. Oh, and one more thing, Our second rule...
The stock room is so messed up, paper works of the SGO committee are all over the room and the school's C/A seems to be busted. Leaning against the spare table, left hand is supporting my body against the table, right hands, caressing Audrey's soft face, whose hands is all over my body, her hands are about to trail down to my core. Pulling away from the kiss.
"Mmm..." She smiles and bite her lower lip.
Catching my breath " ten-eight..." I declared.
"God... I can't get enough of you..." she whispered, sending shivers down my spine.
"Rule's are rule's, pumpkin..." I whisper. And smirked.

Trailing the hall's of Easton High with Sara, Dean and Paul to get our lunch and at the same time realizing that some of the student's are nodding or handing me a high five that I find irritating... just give them the middle with a smile, that's why I don't want to throw a party for the whole seniors that I later found out that some of the lower batch attended the party too.
"The thrill man, The thrill!" said Paul, who is explaining about his relationshit, I mean the relationship with Shay.
"Teenage hormones" slid out of my mouth. I am not against it anyway, the whole player type thing about Paul. I won't deny that having a good looks, sweet, know how to dance and sing in short, Paul have everything that can swoon any girl's feet, he thinks, is a catch, but if he is telling me now this bullshit about Shay, who is Paul's girl counterpart. Player v.s Player.
"Come on T.K... out of you guys, no offense - Sara and Dean, put a little courage for me here T." Paul animates his arms wide open.
" None Taken," said Sara and Dean in unison. Grabbing some meals with us. While the annoyance of the student's continues to pester me.
"Why would I support you being a player? you know when the time comes, that you felt for a certain girl? Let say that girl is Shay." We take our seat, me and Paul, facing Sara and Dean.
I chip out a small amount of crust to my key lime pie and crush it gently making the crumbs fall. "See that? That is you when you continue your foolish games. How many girls are you dating now besides Shay?"
"Uh... Shay. Just her," he answered truthfully. Sara and Dean shake's their heads.
"That is you," Sara said, pointing out the crumbs with her fork.
I sigh, Paul and I, turns our head over at the popular table in unison.
"Thrill your face, Paul..." I said.
"How are you and Al?" Sara asked.
"Huh? What about us?" does she know? Do they know?
"The prank wars between the two of you," Sara said, giving me a 'duh' look.
"Oh, yeah. That... ten- eight? if you're asking for the score..." Shit, my mind start's to wonder what happened earlier.
"Are you alright? T.?" Dean asked.
"Yeah... sure..." faking a smile. "This key lime pie is amazing!" phew, dodge a bullet there.
"You know what, let's have another party!" Paul announces
The three of us breathe out heavily in dismay and leaving Paul alone.
"Guys?!" he pleaded.

I didn't attend my Soccer practice today, to avoid Audrey ad went straight home. Throwing my keys to Ian in the kitchen, taking a seat on a bar stool and slumping over the bar table.
"Crazy day at school, young lady?" Ian asks innocently.
I trace my fingers to my lower lip, thinking about the make out session with Audrey.
"Cut the formality Ian and Yeah, Crazy, crazy day." I answer while my mind is still remembering how it all started.
"Haha, sorry T.K Mr. Walter always exhorts me whenever he hears me call you by your nickname, anyway care to share your Crazy day?" Ian here are Mr. Walters nephew and he starts working and living with us since my sophomore years back in The Big City. Become close to him like a brother. Pops offer him to study, but he refuses due to Mrs. Telma's health condition.
"Might need a beer or two if you want to hear about that Crazy day, more likely Crazy week" I looked at him and smirked.
"A bottle of beer coming right up!" he responds. He glides a bottle of beer at the bar table towards me, I sit up straight and grab the beer, he then takes his seat beside me as he put a bucket of beer down at the table.
"Where to begin, gosh." I take a drink... And here goes nothing...
"After the breakfast with the popular kid's last week, I went back to my room to change from my Pj's to some casual outfit, turning the system on, taking off my Pj's and grabbing my robe while roaming inside of my walk in closet and then a devil walk's inside locking the door and advance towards me even before I can say a word ..." taking another gulp on my beer.
"What happened then, is it one of the popular kids? Do they threaten you? Or, or beat you up? I can teach them a lesson, just say the word T." he said with a worried voice as he listen's careful. I shake my head slowly and take another gulp and exhale.
"The devil didn't say anything or beat me up, I wish that the devil beat me up though.." I chuckled and take another gulp from my beer.
"The devil kissed me and, and I...for a moment, I kissed her back... then, then before things went out of control... I shouted 'three-three' to get away from the kiss, She just smiled and walks away. I-I thought It will be awkward for her when we saw each other at the school, turns out she's not. And play the with the rules and Use it against me." I chug down my beer and place it at the table. No reaction from Ian as I get another beer from the bucket that Ian already opened before for our convenience. I take a sip and look at him who is spacing out.
"Weird, right?" I said to cut him out of spacing out.
He turns his head slowly to face me with mouth slightly open. I take another slip and place my both hands around the bottle and start scanning every word's around it.
"And.. And for the past few days... We've been making out at school..." I look at Ian with a wide eyes, mouth making an 'O' shape. I just beam an awkward smile, more like showing my teeth to him awkwardly.
"Crazy day," I said, snapping him back to reality again.
"Wow!..." that's the only word Ian said and drinks his beer.
"Please don't tell anyone about this. Especially the Wookies." I pleaded. "You're the first person I-" he cuts me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"You don't need to worry T.K. I won't tell anyone about it, I don't want to lose my job." Ian said and giggled.
"But I'm kind of lost about the rules and you said it's a She..." he asked, I smiled and starts to explain to Ian about Audrey and the real deal between us that leads to this.
