CHAPTER 5 – The Tour Guide and The Going to be Best Friend in No Time
"’Sup girly" he waved his hand with a wicked grin in his face as he saw me.
The terror in my face shows up the second I saw his. It's the douche bag! But his not alone. Beside him is another guy who’s also hot - but not as much as the bastard although I wouldn’t admit that out loud – and he’s got a lollipop in his mouth, looking at us, confused.
"You know each other?" he blurted out, popping his lollipop out and pointed it at us.
"Yes"
"No”
We said at the same time. I’m pretty sure you know who said which.
"Ohhkay, so which is it?" he asked again but this time I ignored his question and faced the person who made this all possible.
"Mrs. McCartney, can you just please give me a map? A tour guide isn't really necessary, especially if it's him" I pleaded, emphasizing the word strongly whilst pointing directly at the hot nameless bastard.
And do you know what he did? He chuckled. He freaking chuckled! “What’s so funny?” I glared at him.
“Chill out girly. I’m not your tour guide, he is” he pointed at the guy next to him “Although, I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy it more if I was. I know every secret hideout there is to know in this place, if you know what I mean.” He winked then showed a playful smirk, making it clear that I don’t miss his pervy message.
I scoffed. “Pig! Trust me when I say you’re the last person I want to be with. And again don’t call me girly!”
“I wouldn’t speak too soon about that… girly” His smirk evident more than ever.
And that was it. I just wanted to rip that bastard’s head off and erase that annoying smirk off his damn face, I even forgot there were other people with us and that we’re at the Principal’s office when I was about to lunge at him until the other guy spoke.
“It seems like you two know each other to me” I turned my head and looked at him and met his chocolate brown eyes. He’s slightly tan skinned and has raven black hair in clean cut and he's as fit as the douche, probably even more.
“Not at all. I just, unfortunately, met him 15 minutes ago.” After I said that I saw the bastard’s face scrunch a bit in confusion while looking at me. “What?” I asked.
“Nothing.” He shrugged then his normal face came back.
"Alright! You need be off now so, you, Miss Evans can still have time to take a look around with the help of my nephew" Mrs. McCartney stood up from her table and walked then stopped when she's in the middle of us.
Her nephew? The other hot guy is her nephew?
"Ms. Evans, this is Dutsin, my nephew – “ she gestured her hands to him. " - and Dustin this is Ms. Lucy Evans, our new student" she then gestured her hands to me.
"Aunt, C'mon! You know how I don't like using that name." he said to her then faced me with a smile, a smile that made his chocolate brown eyes sparkle, then took out his hands to me.
"Josh. Please call me Josh." he said and I shook his hand.
"Lucy." I responded and let go.
The douche faked a cough when we finished introducing ourselves.
"Oh. And this is Drake Stiller." she gestured to the moron.
My ears perked up at the mention of his name. What the hell? What is it about him? There’s something about him. There’s just something but I decided not to think about it too much and swiftly adjusted my expression and instead thought of what I usually think like… Oh? So the douche actually has a name. What a surprise!
"If the dou-" I stopped myself from continuing "- he's not my tour guide then why is he here?" I asked rhetorically.
"Oh you know, just being a good person that I am. I was just accompanying my friend right here" Drake answered and patted Josh in the shoulder. "Right, Josh?" he smirked at him which made him look even more annoyingly attractive.
"Oh shut up you dork. I told you I'm fine on my own. You’re the one who insisted to come with me." Josh moved his shoulder to scoot the douche hands off.
"Awwe c'mon! Isn’t that what friends are for?" he asked jokingly.
"Yeah, whatever" Josh chuckled then slightly pushed him away and instantly I knew that they’re really good friends.
"It's actually a good thing that you came Mr. Stiller. I need you to fetch some books in the library right now." Mrs. McCartney butted in.
"What? But Bev I'm – “ Mrs. McCartney cut him before he could continue.
"Ah. Ah. Ah. No buts with me and may I remind you mister we are in school premises you don’t call me by my first name."
The douche did nothing but sighed and surprisingly gave me one last glance that I swear had sadness in them if you look closely, in which I did, before going out of the office.
What was that about?
"As for you two, you can run along now. Dutsin be good to Lucy." she reminded. Josh nodded and with that we were out.
***
The moment we were out of the office, Josh was silent. I think, intentionally silent. But anyway it was awkward so I broke it.
"Are you mad at me or something? Or are you just the silent type?" I asked not taking the silent treatment anymore.
"Is it bothering you?" he cracked a small smile.
"Uh.. Kind of? I mean your suppose to be a tour guide. You should be saying things like 'Hey! That's the clinic' or 'That’s the way to the theater where kids perform stuffs' or 'That's an abandoned room where a lot of virginities were lost'. You know things like that?" I explained.
He burst out laughing. "That was pretty good." he continue to laugh. "I was just waiting for your reaction if I won't talk and it turned out Drake was right, you’re quite different, good and funny different."
And after that, he did the tour guide thing and he's actually pretty good at it but at some point my thoughts drifted to what he said. It turned out Drake was right? What does that mean? So the bastard told him about me being different? Was it because of our morning encounter?
"So what's your first period?" I was snapped out of my trance when he asked. My eyes widen at his query.
"Excuse me?" I stopped at my tracks. Unfortunately what I only heard was the word period and the word that sounded like what or where or when.
"What?" he also looked surprised as I stopped at my tracks.
"Did you just ask me when is my period?" I gaze at him then again he burst out laughing.
"What?" it's my turn to ask.
"I said 'What is your first period?' not 'When is your period?'."
I flushed.
"Oh. Sorry, my bad." I chuckled nervously, looking anywhere but him. I took the folded paper in my back pocket and unfolded it to search for my first period.
"It's Algebra." I continued, still not looking at him. I hadn't realized I was tapping my fingers together until he said so.
"Don't be embarrassed. It's alright. So...Algebra, we just need to go straight from here." he smiled reassuringly and I couldn’t help but smile back.
Josh is actually a nice guy, a good guy. He smiles almost all the time and I like it. I always like those kinds of guys. You know sweet, kind guys or in other words gentleman. And Josh is kind of that guy. But I'm not saying I like him already. He's still under.......................... supervision.
"By the way, how did you become my tour guide?" I asked him as the silence crept in again.
"Actually, I'm your tour guide in the first week." he answered. I looked at him, confusion present in my face.
"You didn't quite answer my question. And what do you mean by 'in the first week'?" I asked again as we continue walking straight.
"I'm your tour guide for the first week and a janitor helper every after class for the next three weeks. You see, I'm in detention for a month and your kind of part of my punishment." my jaw dropped a little bit as I heard him say 'In detention for a month '. Although I'm a bad girl, I have never ever, ever been in detention for more than Two weeks and half.
"A month?! What have you gotten yourself into to earn a one month detention? Blew up a teacher’s head?!" I asked again. I can't help sound really shocked.
"Technically, yeah. Last week, Friday, I talked back to a teacher and obviously he got mad. Enraged actually because of the fact that I also spat curse words in his face " The corner of his mouth formed a small grin like he’s having a private joke to himself.
“You’re happy?” I asked.
“Yeah. Very Much. I’ve always wanted to do that to him” he said as his grin grew wider and that made me quirked my eyebrows. He must’ve seen my confusion since he answered.
“You’ll know what I mean when you get to know him.”
“So what happened?” I asked for him to continue.
“So he took me to the principal which everybody knew is my aunt and she's the kind of person that doesn't get along with favoritism too well so instead of just a week and a couple of days in detention she raised it to a month to show everyone that even her nephew is not an exemption." he explain.
Oh, well that explains everything.
"Damn. That must be horrible." I don't know what else to respond.
"Yeah. Well, I thought it would be - " he paused then faced me. " - but I guess my punishment isn't so bad after all." he smirked as he looked away. Is he flirting with me?
Looks like it. My subconscious replied.
"Yeah? I guess you got lucky" I smirked as well.
***
I enter my algebra class and found an empty seat next to a girl with black thick eyeglasses. She has a long black hair and she most definitely look like what you would call a geek, nerd and whatever you call it. She’s even geekier than Mae.
"Hi! You’re the new transfer right? Lucy?" She said as soon as I settled in my seat next to her.
"Uh, yeah. That's me … How did you know that?" I asked as I met her hazel eyes.
"Everyone knows you, at least by first name - " I quirk my eyebrows in the middle of her talking. Everyone knows me? Does that even make sense? I just walked through the school gates like 30 minutes ago. “- everyone thinks you’re hot. And you just talked to two hotties of the school. Even had physical contact with the bad boy slash playboy here." she finishes. The confusion is still with me.
"What?" I asked feeling disoriented to what she's saying. She pulled out her iPhone in her sling bag.
"Look, see?" she hands me the phone. I took it and saw pictures of me and Josh walking down the hallway. This was from earlier, when he was talking about how someone embarrassingly slipped and fell there. We were laughing.
I continue to scroll and saw other pictures of us but what really caught my attention is the picture of me and Drake (the douche), that time when he held my wrist and involuntarily made me face him. A picture of us face to face. This must be the physical contact this girl is talking about. His face has that smirk he gave me and I had that straight look I gave him. You could actually assume we would kiss if you look at the picture.
Is this edited? This is edited right? I thought to myself.
"When was this taken?" I asked her not leaving my eyes from the screen.
"Oh you know, just last week." she replied sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes playfully and chuckled. “I didn't see anything phone raised earlier or camera's though. There were none of that." I said, giving her the phone back. She just simply smiled at my reply.
"Maybe you just got a little distracted and didn’t took notice of your surroundings." Her smile then slowly turned into a smirk.
Fair point. I mean, who in the world doesn’t get distracted by that? They don’t call him a hottie for nothing.
I got no say to her after she said those. She chuckled when she realized she got me there.
“I don’t blame you though. I even salute you for not faltering when he’s that close to you unlike probably all the female population here in school.”
“Does that include you?” I teased.
She laughed. “Probably but at the end of the day I’m positive he’s not my type of guy. I’m a good guy type of girl so I wouldn’t waste my time.”
For some very, very odd reason, I think I felt relieved when she said those. I smiled and nodded in understanding. I took a good look at her and she’s actually really pretty but her big glasses are somehow hiding her beauty. Also, I realized she doesn’t sound nerdy one bit because if she was, she would probably be talking about science or math or history and shit like that but no she’s talking about her guy preferences.
“You two look cute together though” she continued.
I fake barfed “That is the most disgusting thing you’ve ever said.”
“Yeah, right.” She laughed and I couldn’t help but laugh myself.
I think I go well with this girl. I can just feel her good vibe.
"I think I like you already. What’s your name?" I asked when our laughing subsided.
“Oh, I didn’t thought you roll that way” she joked and I laughed again.
“No you idiot, I’m no seafood lover.” And the laughing began again.
“Elizabeth Greene but since I feel like we’re going to be best friends in no time, you can call me Elli." She said and I grinned then the first bell rang.
