Haley's POV
I buckled my seat belt and put the key in the car. The car turned on perfectly with an impressive loud roar and growl before I chucked my bag at the backseats and turned to face the front again.
"Nice." Dante commented with a smirk. "Just like the driver."
"Too bad the passenger isn't or else this car would've awesome." I retorted not even bothering to glance at him or else he would try and out do my comeback.
"Ouch." He held his heart. "That hurt." He sarcastically mocked me and rubbed his eye pretending to be crying.
"Put your seatbelt on, cry baby." I demanded shaking my head. Why on earth did I let him in my car? Let me answer; I was an idiot just like he was only maybe I was an even bigger idiot.
"Only on one condition." He smirked rubbing his hands together like an evil genuis- too bad he was only the evil part. I had a very strong feeling that this wasn't going to be good. "Kiss me." He grinned showing off his true intentions.
"WOAH!" I screamed in horror. "NO WAY!" I could feel my puke slowly travelling up my throat and ready to burst out my mouth like a water hosepipe that had been left open.
"Then no seatbelt tesoro." He said with a fake sad face as if I could fall for his 'puppy dog face'.
"You're forgetting one small thing, you bad boy wannabe." I smiled.
"What's that?" He asked still smirking as if he was sure I'd give my first kiss away to him. He could dream on and go steal someone else's and whatever else he wanted.
"It's my car." I pointed out. "So I should be bossing you around."
"But you see I'm your partner for biology . . ." he started off, ". . . so if I'm late both our grades go down the drain. Not that I'm worried." Suddenly it felt like someone had smacked the back of my head. He was right. We both had to be in every lesson an we still didn't know what our project was.
"You know what you're right." I mumbled grinning as suddenly an idea popped into my head. I smashed my foot in the exhaust and the car shot forwards making DANTE fly out if his seat and bounce up and down. I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He was being thrown around in his seat as I drove the car furiously over the speed bumps purposely making the car jump along with Dante.
"I . . . Told you . . . To put on . . . Your seat belt." I spoke in between my giggling and laughter.
"I'm so going to get you back after today." He growled and he definitely looked pissed off but oh well he probably deserved it for whatever he was going to me later. I swerved the car as I saw an empty parking and did a perfect parallel park and took the key out of the car before spinning it on my index finger.
"Wow!" Dante gasped. "That was-"
"What, are you amazed I can drive better than you or that I am a SUPERB driver?" I grinned interrupting him and winked at him playfully.
"You're a good driver but no way are you better than me." Dante commented as he patted my thigh and shook his head.
"Oi, bitch move, that's my spot." A feminine voice screamed. I turned to my left to be faced by the school's most nastiest, sluttiest and most caked up bitch.
"What do you want, b*tch?" I spat at her.
"You've parked in my space . . . fugly." She mimicked me.
"Sorry, I don't listen to whinging, bitchy attention seekers." I cursed her and smirked.
"What did you say?" She shrieked.
"Oh, do you have hearing problems?" I asked her in a sarcastic tone.
"That's it." She screamed and she drove off.
"That was. . ." he thought for a second before speaking, ". . . pretty awesome! I guess I got my own live tv show by sitting right next to you."
"Thanks." I smiled. I grabbed my bag from the back before opening my door. We both got out my car and I locked it. We walked side by side in silence as we strolled to the school doors. Suddenly, someone grabbed my left arm and spun me. Before I had even realized a hard slap was placed against my cheek.
Of course, I had incredible reflexes so my hand instantly formed a fist and slammed itself against her bony nose. It made perfect contact and pushed her nose inwards and she should be happy I did not break the bridge of her nose or else it would have killed her.
"AH!" She screamed as she held her nose in pain. "Bitch! You broke my nose!" She was jumping around like a little child clutching her nose crying while throwing herself all over the place- something she did nonetheless.
"It wasn't that hard." I exclaimed. "It was a soft punch."
"Tesoro, her nose won't stop bleeding." Dante whispered in my ear and I burst out into laughter.
"Your nose is so fake I never knew it would even bleed, I thought drugs and other stuff would pour out." I howled clutching my stomach.
"Oh." Dante smiled. Brittany was wearing a typical white short mini skirt that nearly showed her butt with a black tank top that kept slipping to try and show her cleavage. And this girl was telling me she wasn't a slut.
"Dae, don't just stand there do something." Brittany cried.
"Ok, babe." He replied and gave her a hug and wrapped his arms around her waist before walking inside with her whilst I watched them leave. "Haley go to class and tell Sir I'm going to be late." He shouted as they disappeared from view.
"What was that about?" A new voice whispered in my ear.
"AHH!" I screamed and I turned around in a defensive position with both my hands into fists like a ninja.
"Chill girl. It's just me Juli." She laughed.
"Sorry." I said with a huge grin.
"What's with the joy and happiness?" Juli suspiciously asked me.
"Can't I be happy?" I asked trying to look serious but obviously I failed.
"Girl, you're always depressed and whinging because you're at school." She explained.
"Ok you got me." I giggled. "I punched, wait for it. . . Brittany."
"Seriously?" Gasped Juli. I nodded to assure her. Juli hugged me and squeezed me.
"Not so tight. I don't want to die." I joked.
"Sorry." She giggled and just as she was about to give me my recommendation speech to the whole world the bell rang and yet again Juli and I jumped.
"Never gets old." Robbie mocked us. He gave Juli a quick peck on the cheek. "Have a great day babe." He kissed her forehead and quickly ran inside.
"Awh." I said holding my heart. "I see a certain dweeb looks after my sister very well."
"Shut up." Juli blushed and playfully punched me.
"Ok. Whatever you say, captain." I laughed. We linked arms and walked to biology. I pushed the door open and walked to Mr Parker while Juli took her seat.
"Sir, Brittany's nose was bleeding so Dante went to take her to medical." I informed him.
"And why are you tell me this Miss. Valdez?" He asked me.
"Dante told me to tell you as to why he would be late, sir." I replied trying to make myself sound as polite as possible.
"Ok, thank you for the notice. Please take your seats next to your partners I have assigned you for your coming project." Mr Parker turned to face the class and instantly everyone scattered to dash into their seats. Suddenly, the door flew open to show the most handsome, the most gorgeous, the most cutest guy in our year (in my opinion).
Blake Salvatore.
He had short, sun-kissed brown hair that was spiked and he had bangs covering his forehead. He was tanned an Italian shade and he had natural sterling grey eyes. They were RARE! He had only one dimple that was only shown when he smiled.
He was wearing a Fenchurch Check Crew Sweat in Navy. It had a large printed check design logo to front, ribbed collar cuffs & hem. He was also wearing player denim cargo shorts with black hi top coverses to give a final touch to his outfit. He was well built and was muscular but not so muscular that he looked like grown man taking steroids. He was well built but no so well built that it was weird anwyas . . . he was extremely good looking and hot. Dante happened to be more well built but Blake just happened to look cuter.
"Sorry I'm late, sir." He apologised.
"And why's that?" Mr Parker asked him.
"The local charity needed me to help out an extra shift because one of the worker's were late." He explained. Wow, dashing and sweet. When I turned to see what Mr Parker was going to say he simply smiled. He never smiled to any of us!
"Since Dante has somehow vanished, please take the empty seat next to Haley." He pointed out. Stupid Haley. She was so lucky to have such a hot guy sit next to her and be her partner and . . . wait a minute.
I'm the only Haley in the class. Blake is going to be MY partner. ME! I quickly turned to face Juli and she quickly turned around at the same time and shot me a wink and smoochy faces. I shook my head and turned around to see Blake sitting next to me and that too awfully close.
"Woah." I said nearly falling off my seat. He quickly put his arm around my waist and helped me sit back on my chair.
"Careful, Hal." He smiled. "You don't mind if I call you that, right?"
"N-n-no." I stuttered. Gosh, I was making such a fool of myself. At this rate, he would instantly realise I had a HUGE crush on him since the start of high school.
"Now, class." Mr Parker cleared his throat. Thank god for him or else I would be sitting in absolute silence and awkwardness. "The project is to make a 3-D structure of the digestive system. I know it sounds easy, but there is a twist. Your models will be shown and it must be able to take in the food and correctly digest it the way a human does." He explained and the whole class' mouths dropped in shock.
"But, sir . . ." Chris gasped, ". . . that's like asking a child to make a rocket."
"Well, I know you're a child, Chris but I am positive this class will be able to make it so heads down and get to work." He demanded. Everyone began talking about how to make it and how to organise it. Whose house to go to and who to buy what.
"This will be easy." I accidentally spoke.
"Glad, you're so enthusiastic." He smirked showing off his super adorable dimple. Haley, breathe girl. He's just a guy. A human just like yourself... well only difference is he is a perfect human specimen. Don't freak him out.
"Well, it's just I used to work in a garage for two years and I quit last month so making and building all these mechanisms and the machinery will be easy for me." I boasted.
"Wow, you're the first girl I know who loves to get her hands dirty." He smiled once again but since my mind was a place of pure filth I couldn't help but notice maybe his sentence was dirty. I blushed a scarlet red knowing there were two different meanings to 'getting your hands dirty' but I ignored it. "So what about the rest of it. The actual processes of what each organ does and the intricacy of it all?"
"I'm not sure about that part." I honestly replied.
"Well no problemo Hal. I happen to be an ace in biology so I can do the science parts and you do the machinery parts. I'm sure we'll be able to ge the highest grade and make everyone else's look bad." He chuckled.
"That sounds like a pretty decent plan." I agreed.
"Except one small problem." A new voice interrupted our conversation.
Both Blake's head and mine turned to face an idiot's.
"I'm part of this group too." Dante shrugged.
"Sup, bro." Blake got up and both Dante and Blake did a very intricate hand shake. Did I forget to tell you Blake and Dante were best friends? Complete opposites yet they happen to be best friends.
"When did you join this group?" They both asked each other.
"Haley, explain it to them." Mr Parker walked past smiling, yet again. What is with him today? Is he high? Dante grabbed a nearby chair and turned it around before sitting it on it, so his chest was leaning against the back of the chair.
"Dante . . . that was my chair." A feeble scared voice whispered.
"Sorry, what was that?" Dante asked sarcastically obviously he had heard it.
"Nothing." Ty mumbled. He was the kid in our year who got bullied. He happened to be the shortest and puniest kid but that didn't mean people could pick on him.
"One sec, Ty." I got up and pushed Dante off his chair and picked the chair up and handed it to Ty.
"Thanks." He blushed and quickly walked off.
"Nicely done." Blake winked making me to blush and well it definitely worked.
"You bitch!" Dante growled.
"Dude, shut it. You took the guy's chair." Blake commented.
"We shall see about that." He groaned. Dante walked up to me and pulled the chair out from under my butt. I fell on the ground with a hard thud!
"You flipping idiot!" I snapped.
"Sorry, tesoro. Accidents happen." He said giving me a stupid puppy face. "If you want there's a spare seat on my lap." He patted his thigh and I made a puking face.
"Save that for Brittany." I spat at him.
"I have but that's for after school. You can be my during school fun . . ."
"Dante, leave her alone and cut some slack. Be nice to one girl for once." Blake shook his head then turned to face me.
"You could sit on my lap and unlike this dirty perv . . ." he pointed to Dante, ". . . I won't imagine dirty images."
"Its OK." I said giving Dante dirty looks while instead he just kept blowing kisses my way. Blake softly grabbed my wrist.
"I'm not letting you sit on the floor, stand up or sit on an uncomfortable table for an hour. You're sitting on my lap or unless we find another chair you can sit on that." He explained and put his arms around my waist and pulled me onto his lap. I could feel myself blushing and about to faint with joy and happiness.
"Someone's getting happy. You could have shared a chair. I think she's having an orgas. . ."
"Dude, shut up and think about Brittany." Blake snapped, clearly Dante wasn't just getting on my nerves.
"Anyways, about the group. . ." I quickly got off Blake's lap deciding it was for my dignity's best and sat on the table instead whilst trying to change the topic , ". . . Blake is in our group because you weren't here so we were working together," I looked at Dante then turned to face Blake, ". . . and Dante and I got partnered up last lesson." The rest of biology went by quickly. And due to the rest of our teachers being on strike we didn't have any other lessons so we could go home.
I got into the driver's seat while Juli sat into the passenger's seat. I turned the car on and drove to my house. As I parked the car into my driveway, I took my seatbelt off and took the key out of the car. Juli and I both exited I remembered to lock the car and we both walked to my porch. I knocked on the door and waited for a response, but nothing.
I knocked again and still nothing. I had left my keys at home thinking my mom wouldn't go to work today. What a mistake!
"Let me call my mom." I suggested.
"Good idea." Juli commented sarcastically. I took my phone out my bag and dialled my mom's number. The call went into voice mail so I hung up and tried again thankfully, she picked up this time.
"Hey, mom." I greeted her warmly. Juli placed her ear on the phone eavesdropping on my mom's and my conversation.
"Hey hun. What's wrong?" She replied.
"Where are you? Me and Juli are waiting to be let inside." I explained.
"Juli and I." She corrected.
"Mom, just answer my question please." I said starting to get annoyed.
"Sorry, hun. I'm at a meeting with Mr Carter right now. I'll be home in half an hour. Just wait outside, I'll be there shortly."
"Ok, mom. Love you." I groaned.
"Love you too hun." She said before I hung up. Juli sat down on the porch and pulled me to sit down next to her.
"OW!" I moaned in pain rubbing my bum.
"So . . ."
"So what?" I asked confused.
"What's going on between you and Blake?" She asked.
"Nothing. Dante stole my chair because I gave Ty back his chair which Dante stole. So Blake made me sit on his lap as the other options were sit on the table, floor or on . . ." I instantly shivered with horror, ". . . Dante's lap."
"That's just . . . funny." She summed up. Suddenly, I felt something wet against my cheek.
"Juli, you spat." I said in disgust.
"Nuh uh." She denied. "You spat at me."
Before we knew it the rain poured down on us like it was monsoon season in Asia or something. "Quick the car." We both panicked. I took my keys out but my car wouldn't unlock.
"Ah, open it." Juli screamed.
"It won't budge. I think the keys are retarded." I commented.
"Well, I'm not sitting in the rain." Juli growled.
*******************
It had been nearly over an hour since I had called my mom and both Juli and I were sitting on my porch . . . soaking WET!
Then a black Bugatti Veyron pulled up to Dante's sidewalk and three guys exited. And guess who it was: Mystery guy number 1 was . . . my idiot next door neighbour, Dante. Mystery guy number 2 was . . . Dante's sidekick, Chris. Mystery guy number 3 was . . . hottest guy on EARTH, Blake. The three of them walked up to Dante's front door before facing us.
"Are you guys meant to be sitting there and getting wet or . . ." Dante retorted. One day, I was going to slap this boy silly until he cried for forgiveness. "Dreaming about me, tesoro?" Dante smirked.
"Hell no. Dreaming of killing you." I snapped.
"Still dreaming of me." He grinned before blowing me a kissy face.
"Why are you guys in the rain? You're going to get a cold." Blake asked concerned. He walked up to us and took his coat off and put it around me.
"Oi, you put yours around Juli." Blake commanded Chris. "Her top needs to be covered."
"I like the view." Dante peevishly commented. Both Juli and I looked at her top to see even though it was a yellow t-shirt you could see her black bra underneath. Instantly, her hands moved to her chest and she tried to cover up.
"Why me?" Chris moaned. "Why not Dante?"
"Chris . . ." Blake gave him a firm stare before Chris walked up to us and took his coat off and wrapped it around Juli and zipped it up for her. If I'm not mistaken I also saw him blushing while doing so, but my eyes must be playing tricks on me.
"Anyways, why you in the rain, tesoro?" Dante asked once again.
"My mom was meant to be home so I left my key at home. She was meant to be home an hour ago." I explained.
"You could've gone in your car." He said trying to act like a smart ass.
"We tried but her damn car keys aren't working." Juli snapped. You see, when she gets cold she gets frustrated easily.
"We're going inside Dante's house, you fair maidens can join us." Blake suggested. "What do you say, Dante?"
"I don't mind having a sexy tesoro in my house with her best mate." Dante winked and I sent him daggers with my eyes.
"And you, Chris?" Blake asked him.
"Why? You're doing this on purpose! Trying to bait out my life. I want my secrets to remain hidden. Thanks." WOW, Chris was definitely the weird child. I mean who says things like that.
"So want to come?" Blake and Dante asked at the same time.
"YES!" Juli screamed as she shot up and pulled me up with her. Blake put his arm around me as the three of us walked over to Chris and Dante.
