Chapter 12
Andrea's POV
I don't know what came over me, but I soon found myself walking over to his car. His head was down and looking at the road, so he couldn't see me coming.
His head snapped up when he heard my shoes thumping against the street. "Hey." I greeted him. No smile. No grin. No feelings. Just a blank face.
But him, on the other hand, had a huge grin when he saw me. "Hey! I didn't think you would come here!" He stood up and motioned for his car. Wait. He wanted me to go in his car? No way.
I shook my head and said, "Whatever it is you want to talk about we can talk about out here." I said, while crossing my arms.
His shoulders slumped and he said, "Alright. That's fine." I gave him a look that said go on. "I just wanted to explain myself and my actions." he stated, with a nervous expression on his face. Did I make him nervous? I doubt it, this guy can't be nervous of me.
"Elaborate." I said with hand motions.
"Look, I never really meant to bully you. It's just that. . . um. How do I put this? I was just trying to fit in, you know? Um, yeah that's the reason." he stated, trying to look confident, but I could tell he's lying.
"You don't need to lie." I said, still crossing my arms. He didn't say anything for a while and it looked like he was thinking about something really hard. He looked like he was debating with himself. Moments later, he snapped out of it and his smirk broke out of his face.
"Maybe we can start over again and actually be friends. Oh and maybe we can try that whole friends with benifits sort of thing." he said with a smirk and a wink. Wait what? I think I just got a whiplash on his mood changes. One second he was sweet and shy, then next he was an arrogant asshole.
I gaped at him. "You are unbelievable."
"Why? You have a hot body and everything." he stated as if it was the easiest thing to say.
"Weren't you like just explaining your actions earlier? What happened to that?" I questioned.
"Oh that. That was a conversation starter. Now this, it's the real thing we're going to talk about." he said. That smirk visible on his face. How I wish I had a knife.
"You do realize that you're flirting with the girl that you used to bully." I stated. I mean seriously. He used to push me around and tease me about how ugly and imperfect I was. Now here he was, telling me that I'm hot.
"Maybe I am, but-"
He was cut off by my brother's voice, "Rea! Lets go! Or do you want to stay and chat with him?" he eyed Ethan. Here comes protective Jace.
I shook my head frantically, "Of course not! Lets go home!" I ran to my brother's car and hopped on. When my brother took off, I saw Ethan's face in the side mirror. He had a smirk on. What was up with this guys' mood swings? Part of me actually thought that he was sincere and maybe he wanted to say sorry about bullying me and hurting me, of course I wouldn't forgive him, not right away anyways. But of course he didn't. He's still the same Ethan. The player. Looking for a new toy to play with.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by my brother's voice, "Who was that?" he asked. "He looked like he wanted something from you." he said, glancing at me with a raised brow.
"Just one of those people in my past." I said.
"You mean he bullied you?" he asked. Oh no. Protective brother mode. I didn't want to start trouble.
"Yeah. Can we not talk about it?" I pleaded. I didn't want to talk about Ethan right now. He's been on my mind for a long time and I just want a break.
My brother nodded and we headed home.
The day went by fast and before I knew it, it was Tuesday and I was getting ready for school. Like yesterday, my brother dropped me off.
"Hey!" Colette greeted me when I went to get my books from my locker.
"Hi." I said. I hadn't seen Ethan, so good. "Ready to go to class?" I asked. She nodded and we walked off to first period. Before I knew it, the bell rang.
"Hello class! Today we have a new student. Well, he was just late yesterday so he didn't go to school. But to him it's his first day of school. I need someone to get him from the office." Dr. Smith said. "Andrea, will you?" she asked.
I nodded. Ethan still wasn't here. I wonder where he is? Wait, what? You know what? I don't care about him.
I walked to the office and saw that the secretary was talking to someones' parent. "There she is! She'll be taking you to class today, Jake!" she exclaimed. When she that the boy turned around and I saw one of the most good looking guys I've ever seen in my whole life. He had dark brown hair, blue eyes, and he was really good looking.
I stopped my staring and introduced myself, "Hi, I'm Andrea." I said, holding my hand out. He glady shook it.
"I'm Jake." he said shortly, a small smile filling his features.
"You be a good boy, Jake!" his mom exclaimed, while pinching his cheeks.
Jake groaned and said, "Mom! Stop it." while swatting her hands away. I had to stop myself from laughing.
With that we walked off. "So, how's it like here?" Jake asked.
"Well, our school is the same as any other school. Oh, but watch out for the sluts." I stated. He chuckled at that. We had too many sluts then a normal high school would have. It worries me, really.
"Eh, wouldn't dream of it. I just hate it when girls ask for too much attention, you know?"
"Well I wouldn't know. I'm not a guy." I pointed out. With that he bursted out laughing.
"Y-you're really funny. You're not like the girls I've met before. I think we can actually be friends." he said with a huge grin on his face.
I fake gasped. "Really?! The Great Jake-" I stopped because I didn't know his last name. "Wait, what's your last name?" I asked with a raised brow, pausing my hand motions.
He chuckled and said, "Williams. Jake Williams." Williams fits his name really well.
"Okay, pretend I didn't ask that then." I did a dramatic pause and said, "Really?! The Great Jake Williams thinks we can be friends!" I exclaimed with a gasp. "How will I ever deal with my undying love for him?! How will I ever!" I gasped, with a hand on my heart.
He bursted out laughing. Aw, his laugh was cute. "Well, I don't know how you'll ever admit that. But I don't blame you. I'm the ideal guy here. I'm hot, sweet, charming, and let's not forget the breathtaking smile." he winked. I started laughing with him and before I knew it, we were in class.
"Oh! Here's our new student!" Dr. Smith exclaimed. "Thank you, Andrea." I smiled and nodded and walked off to my seat. First, I smiled at Jake and then sat down. He smiled back and the teacher started talking to him, so the whole class started to talk to their friends.
I glanced around the room and saw that Ethan was now here. He was looking at me, directly into my eyes. He was trying to read me as he looked at me. I saw anger, disappointment, and a hint of sadness in his eyes. Wait, why would he be feeling this? I bet it's just an act. He's just trying to lure me into his trap, but guess what? It's not going to work.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by Colette's voice, "Girl, you're one lucky chick! That guy is hot and you're the first one to talk to him! I'm so jealous!" she squealed. Typical girl. But she wasn't wrong, he is hot.
"Pft. Me? Lucky? He should be the one feeling lucky that he got to talk to me." I stated, joking, of course.
"Yeah, because I'm honored to be talking to the wonderful Andrea." Jake intruded. I didn't even notice he walk towards us. Colette blushed and giggled because she didn't know that Jake was there. I laughed and he walked over to Ethan's desk. I guess Jake had to sit next to him. Poor guy.
"Okay class! As I said, we have a new student today, so Jake." Dr. Smith gestured to Jake, telling him to introduce himself.
Jake stood up and sighed, "Hey everyone. I'm Jake and I moved here because I had to." he then sat down after he gave everyone a small smile. I giggled and covered my mouth. All the girls were drooling over him. Looks like Ethan has some competition. Ethan was basically glaring at Jake and I had no idea why. I had a feeling that Jake and I would have an awesome friendship.
