Hello there, wattpaders! Here is my third chapter! I really enjoyed writing this one and I hope u enjoy reading it too. I take all the responsibility for the crappiness of the first 2 chapters but I promise that this one will be better.
The chapter is unedited so read on your own risk :P
I trembled in fear as he licked my neck with passion and lust.
As I was about to punch him for the hundredth time, a blond guy came and shoved the bastard off me.
“Alex, what are you doing? That girl isn’t even interested man. I didn’t know you force girls” my saviour shouted at the bastard.
I was really grateful to this unknown guy, for saving me. I didn’t waste even a second, not even to thank him. I just ran out of the house to save myself from that rapist. I cursed Drake, who was the sole reason for my entry into that party. I started running on the pavement when someone stopped me.
I turned back ready to punch the person right in the face but calmed myself as I saw the familiar face of Ben. A sigh of relief left my lips as I saw my best friend and I hugged him with all my might.
“What happened? Why the sudden affection?” Ben questioned me smirking as he pulled out of my bone crushing hug.
I looked at him with watery eyes. In an instant his smirk faded and a worried look claimed his face.
“Hey, you okay? What is it that bothers you?”
“Can we please have this conversation at home? I just want to get the hell out of this place” I replied, my voice cracking a bit.
“But-”
I raised my hand and cut him off. He just nodded understandingly and went to pick up our shopping bags.
The walk back home was silent. I didn’t open my mouth, nor did Ben. Thoughts kept spinning in my mind.
The blond guy called him Alex. Maybe he was the same Alex who I talked through the phone. Or maybe I’m just assuming things. It might have been a coincidence.
I was suspicious of this guy when I kept running into him in the corridor, and my suspicions came out true. He does have something to do with me. Maybe he likes me?
‘I don’t think so’
Here goes my conscience. Why doesn’t that bitch inside my mind be positive for once?
But maybe I should listen to my inner voice. That Alex was drunk and the same would have happened to any girl in my place.
I'm just over thinking things. I just have to let it go and be happy with the fact that I'm still a virgin.
We reached home in about fifteen minutes. Trudy wasn’t home so we used the spare key that I had and got in. I ran upstairs to my room and flopped myself on the bed. Ben followed me with the bags.
“Forgot the bags huh?” he asked as he pretended to struggle with the bags.
I just glared at him.
I was angry with him. How dare he leave me alone on a pavement and walk into a party like that? He should have declined the offer. Or at least taken me along with him. He must have given some attention to me.
“What?”
“Can't you see that I'm angry with you?” I shouted.
Why does he play dumb? He really likes to piss me off.
Ben laughed loudly. I kept glaring at him. He slowly composed himself and sat on the bed.
“Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Now tell me, what is it that bothers you? Is it Drake?” he asked me with a serious tone.
“Why do you care? Go around laughing.” I spat
“Why? Your best friend can't laugh at you?”
I rolled my eyes at his attempt to get me talking. It’s his usual dialogue. ‘Am I not your best friend?’ God, I don’t know when he's gonna stop that.
He came near me and shook my shoulder. “Come on, Veda! Tell me what’s with that gloomy face!”
“Fine” I pouted.
I filled him in on everything, briefly. Yeah, I didn’t give too much detail.
The next second, I regretted my decision. He raged up. I could see the anger in his eyes. Ben could get really scary at times and this was one of them.
Good thing I didn’t give Ben his name. I was sure that if I did Ben would kill Alex right on sight.
“Why didn’t you tell me right there? I would have beat the shit out of him!” he exclaimed and his nerves were popping out in anger.
“Calm down dude! I’m unharmed. I didn’t want you to pick up a fight there. Plus, he looked more muscular”
“More muscular? Don’t underestimate my strength. Anyone touches you, they are bound to be dead” he shouted at my face.
Oh. That was my sweet best friend. He really loves me and protects me like his little sister. I really appreciate his affection towards me. His reaction made me smile.
“Ben, Ben, Ben” I cooed as I held his shoulders to calm him down.
“I’m alright. Drop the anger. Nothings gonna happen by shouting”
“Yeah, you are right. Show me the guy tomorrow and I’ll beat him into pulp” he still doesn’t seem to calm down.
“No! I won't. I don’t want you to do that. Why don’t you just be happy with the fact that I’m fine and unharmed?” I shouted at him.
I don’t want Ben to get hurt. Alex looked way too muscular and way too stronger than him. Ben had this short temper when it came to my safety. He might fight with me, insult me and piss me off. But he would never let anyone to harm me.
We kept on arguing about it for some time and it seemed like I was wining it. The usual. I always win arguments. I slowly changed the topic and made him laugh along with me.
After about an hour, Trudy announced that she was back home. The clock struck 11 and Ben bid me a good night.
As he walked towards the door, I asked him whether he wanted to watch some movie as I didn’t feel like sleeping anytime soon.
“Vampires again?” he asked me.
“Hell yeah. You always read my mind, don’t you?” I replied grinning.
I’m really obsessed vampires. I have an intense desire to become one myself, if that’s possible.
I have a full rack of movies and TV shows that are of the vampire genre. I even Google about them sometimes.
“Good night, Veda. I don’t have time to watch unrealistic things” he said in a bored tone.
The one difference between me and him was that he hated shopping and fantasies. On the other hand, they were like the world to me.
Ben always likes to live in reality and face everything that comes. I love to dwell in the fantasy world created by movies and books. I daydream about utterly impossible things and want them to be real.
“TBBT then?” I asked him.
Humour was Ben’s favourite genre if you ask me. Well, who wouldn’t like laughing their ass out? I loved that TV show so much. All of them were nerdy, yet awfully hilarious.
“Good choice”
“Why do you have to hate vampires so much?” I asked seeing his sudden change of mood.
“Because they aren’t real. And I'm totally bored with it since you rant about it almost all the time” he replied instantly.
He was right. I always keep blabbing about how I wish that I was a vampire or how much I grieved to be Bella.
Every girl loves to fanaticise about vampires. But I’m a bit weird. I dwell in that dream instead of reality.
We watched the show, after choosing one of the best episodes. The clock struck twelve, reminding us that we have to do something as precious as sleeping.
Ben bid me a good night for the second time and went off to his room. We had adjacent rooms which helped us to annoy each other whenever we wanted.
I waved a good night to him as I yawned. I crawled into my cosy bed and sleep claimed me as soon as I pulled up the covers.
My alarm buzzed and I hit snooze. A few minutes later Trudy came in and woke me up by vigorously shaking me.
I loved sleeping and waking me up was a very difficult task.
Finally, I woke up at seven and finished all my morning routine. We had sandwiches for breakfast and started off to school.
Ben’s Audi had arrived yesterday evening and we made our way to school in it.
He drove the car above the speed limit and we reached school in five minutes. I really loved his driving. I was pretty much used to high speeds unlike most other girls of my age. It is a bit life threatening alright, but I enjoyed the cool breeze on my face.
I hopped out of the stunning R8 and waited for Ben to join me.
As we headed towards the school building, some guy caught up with us and started talking to Ben.
“Who’s the lady?” he asked Ben.
“Austin, this is Veda, my best friend. Veda, this is Austin” Ben introduced us to each other.
I guess this guy was the party host as Ben didn’t know any other Austin around here.
“It was an awesome party yesterday” I said smiling.
Ben glared at me. Maybe he thought I was being sarcastic. Hell, I wanted to be. But that really was a huge party.
“Thanks. I bet you’ll enjoy the next one too” Austin replied smiling and I could see his cute dimples.
As far as my eyes could observe, Austin had dark brown hair and wonderful hazel eyes.
A minute later both the boys started having some conversation which I was not a part of.
So I decided to take off. I felt a bit awkward to stand there. I made my way into the building after saying a ‘see you later’ to both of them.
As I was walking towards my locker, someone stopped me by blocking my way.
I raised my head and looked up, only to see the familiar pair of black eyes.
I wanted to hit him but that would do nothing but hurt my poor hands. So I backed away from him and tried to walk past him.
He side stepped and blocked my path once more. I gave him a questioning look.
“Hey, Veda” he greeted awkwardly. That’s not the way to apologize, mister.
Alex’s appearance was like a typical player. Well, bad boys don’t apologise right? This means he wouldn’t either. But I'll make him do it.
He looked a little gloomy. But that didn’t help control my anger towards him. I wasn’t ready to forgive him even if he falls at my feet.
“What do you want?” I asked in an irritated tone.
He has brought my good mood down the drainage.
“I'm sorry” he said in a low tone. That was a nice fake sad voice, Alex.
I shot him a death glare. I made myself look stiffer and gave him my most venomous look.
“I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I didn’t mean to do any of that. I was drunk and I had no idea what I was doing. I-”
“Save your apology” I spat. “I'm getting late for my class.”
“No. Please just hear me out. I'm really sorry”
“It’s ok” I replied keeping my glare intact.
The fact that a guy like Alex was begging me to forgive him made me a little cocky. I had no idea that people like him would even know the meaning of sorry.
“I mean it, I'm sorry” he apologized once again, his midnight black eyes boring into mine.
Something inside of me told that he wasn’t lying. I could see that his eyes were pleading.
Part of me wanted to forgive him but I held my head high and shook the thought off.
“What are you doing here Veda?” I heard Ben’s voice from behind.
I turned to face my best friend. “I thought you would have been ready for class by now”
“Yeah. I was just talking to Alex” I glared at him while his name left my mouth.
“Oh. Anyways, it’s getting late. We need to get going. See you later Alex” Ben grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him.
I couldn’t decipher what the hurry was.
“Veda” Alex called from behind.
I turned my head to look at him. He mouthed a ‘sorry’ as he stood on his knees. I didn’t know why he was being so damn sweet. I mouthed back an ‘ok’ and smiled at him.
He gave me a wide grin as I started walking away with Ben.
I should be angry with this guy, but I seem to like him. He might have behaved like an asshole yesterday but when he said he was sorry, he meant it. Mistakes are made by everyone and they gotta be given a chance to prove themselves. So I decided to forget the events of the party and forgive him.
“What’s with Alex?” Ben asked me as we neared my locker.
“He was just apologising” I said without thinking.
‘Stupid move, Veda.’ If Ben got to know Alex was the guy from the party he sure as hell would pick up a fight with him, right in the corridor.
“For?” Ben came up with the next question.
Oh God. I have to think of something quickly.
“Hmm…for pulling the prank on me yesterday” I replied after a second’s thought.
Wow, that was a fast thought process. I’m not very good at lying, especially to my best friend.
“The principal thing? I actually have to congratulate him for that” he said laughing.
Oh, there he goes. Ben really likes to piss me off.
Wait a minute. Alex didn’t apologise for that! How dare he? I have two accusations towards him. I'm not gonna forgive him easily. For a fact, I have already forgiven him but he doesn’t know that right?
I had a happy time at school. Alex kept apologising whenever he saw me. He was really sweet. He shared our lunch table too. A smile was plastered on my face as I left home from school.
Alex wasn’t who I thought he was. He wasn’t a popular bad boy. Hell, looks do deceive. I judged him to be a cocky, arrogant, high school jock. But he was none of that. Knowing that Alex was nothing like the normal hotties doubled my happiness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I'm gonna watch ‘Frozen’ today” I announced.
It was Thursday and I was more than happy. It is my favourite day of the week. New episodes of American Idol were aired on that day.
School was fun. Alex started to hang around with us, me mostly. He also apologised for the prank. I really have started to like him.
‘As if you didn’t earlier’
Yeah, but that was only for the looks. Now I like him for who he is.
“Disney? Seriously?” Ben asked frowning and I snapped out of my thoughts.
I love Disney movies. As I mentioned before, I'm a bit weird. I watch a lot of things, from cartoons to ‘R’ rated movies. Judge me, but I'm one in a million.
“Yeah, what’s wrong with it? I love that movie. It’s different from other Disney movies” I defended.
“Whatever. I'm gonna check facebook. You can enjoy the movie all alone” he replied smugly and went to his room.
I rolled my eyes and started watching the film. It was almost eleven when I was done with the movie. I turned off my laptop and shoved myself on the bed.
I tried calling Bets for the umpteenth time in 4 days. I got the usual ‘no answer’ from the operator. What happened to this girl? Is she avoiding me? Is she angry with me for moving to Crisslewoods?
Every possible reason was frustrating me, so I decided to sleep instead.
Dawn broke and Ben woke me up. I groaned and went into the bathroom to get ready. I had a quick shower and dressed up in one of the new jeans I had bought. I ran downstairs to grab some breakfast before leaving for school.
Ben drove the car in his usual speed and we arrived at school in less than five minutes. Wow that was a record. Usually it took 5 to 6 minutes to get to school, but we reached school in 4.30 minutes today. I made a mental note to remind Ben to not get himself in trouble.
We made our way to our lockers. My eyes searched for a certain person. Alex was no were to be found.
I sighed and followed Ben.
“So, what’s your first class?” he questioned me.
“History. But Mr. Hinkle hasn’t showed up for the past 2 days. So I guess it’s gonna be free” I replied happily.
Mr. Hinkle’s history lessons made me sleep. He taught me for what, like 2 classes? That was more than enough for me to judge his teaching skills.
“Good for you. I have physics” Ben said grimacing. I laughed. Ben totally hated that subject and kept cursing Newton and his laws.
“You know nothing about history. It’s the boring subject ever. History sucks. It’s like we can understand it if we study alone in peace but you are bound to doze off when you listen to the teacher” I gave him the honest explanation of the term ‘history’.
Ben’s lips were pulled in a grin. He shook his head in disapproval.
“Is that so?” a male asked from behind me.
I turned and my jaws dropped. The owner of the voice was as hot as the hot can be. The hottie had wavy brown hair and mesmerising grey-blue eyes.
As my eyes roamed about, memorising his features, he just stared at me.
“You asked me?” I questioned doubtfully. I had no idea who he was. What’s with all the hot guys coming and having random conversations with me?
‘He was behind me so maybe he didn’t talk to me at all’ I thought.
“Yeah. You were saying that it’s easy to doze of listening to history” he replied.
To say I was shocked would be an understatement. My jaw was hanging in the air. He was actually talking to me and not to forget, his voice was oh-so-sexy.
I composed myself before replying. “Um..yeah. Happens most of the time. Personally, I like to read history. But listening in class is not an easy task”
He smiled. Oh, that smile made me drool. I was attracted to him right at first sight. I mean, no one falls for your personality at first sight, right?
“Maybe you are right. By the way, I’m Adam.” he replied and extended his hand.
“I'm Veda and this is my best friend Ben” I introduced myself and shook his hand.
“Nice meeting you Veda”
The bell rang and reminded me to pull my hand away.
“Time for class. See you guys later” Adam waved at us and started walking away.
I just stared at the direction he went.
Ben gave me a mocking look and waved a bye before walking towards his class.
I grabbed my books and ran to my history class. Most students have already assembled so I guess Mr. Hinkle is back.
I stared at the doorway waiting for Mr. Hinkle, waiting to sleep.
Everyone seemed to be busy with their own jobs. Some were talking, some were bullying others while I sat there doing nothing.
I didn’t have anyone to talk to so I had to sit there simply observing everyone.
A minute later, Adam entered the class. I snapped out of my thoughts as I saw his handsome face.
So, he's in my history class. That’s good to know because I'll have at least one person who I had had a conversation with.
He came in and halted right in the centre of the class. His eyes gazed at me and I smiled at him in response.
He turned his attention to the other students and leant his back on the teacher’s desk. I gave him a confused look.
If he was a new student, why doesn’t he just go find a place for himself? My assumptions were wrong as fuck.
“Good morning, students. I'm Adam Walker, your new history teacher”
That sentence was more than enough to make my heart stop and my jaw to drop.
A/N: So? What do you think? The history teacher thing might look a bit clichéd but I give you my word that it won't be anything like the normal. I got the idea for this story from one of my dreams and I don’t wanna change certain things from that. I just wanted to make it clear cause I didn’t want you guys to think it’s just the normal cliché book.
