As I was walking into the school restaurant after hearing the lunch break bell,my heart beat loudly as I looked around cautiously.Bradley Regan might have still not grown up and might be ready to pull an awful prank on me.The badass playboy was wanted by practically all the girls in Devon high school.
He had a devilish grin that,though I hate and take as a sign of a new prank that's coming,even I have to admit makes him look more like a fallen angel. I don't know what I ever did to him because he is always picking on me,pulling pranks on me,making me the butt of his jokes and humiliating me in front of the whole school.
He seemed to take pleasure in irritating and humiliating me.The jerk was just so annoying and did I mention that he's a playboy.Emily said he pulled pranks on me because he liked me but I doubted it a lot.
Bradley Regan,Devon high's best basketball player and captain of the basketball team,a boy who is wanted by all the members of the cheerleading squad including the cheerleaders captain and all the girls in the popular club,wanting or even liking me,one of the school nerds and a member of the school band.No way life doesn't happen that way.It was practically and logically impossible.You may say I have low esteem but I am just being logical.
Apart from that ,Brad has had numerous girlfriends over the years that's why he has earned the name playboy.He was way too handsome for his own good.
I looked around the restaurant cautiously to check whether Brad was there and tried to anticipate his next prank.
* 3rd person's p.o.v *
Brad looked up as he felt Rikki's presence,she was in the restaurant at last.He looked at the captain of the cheerleaders,Shelly who was gazing up at him like as though he was the most amazing creature she had ever seen.He looked for Rikki and found her looking cautiously around.He had decided to stop pulling pranks and just ask her out already.
The only reason why he started pulling pranks on her in the fourth grade was because he had a crush on her and she had been ignoring his pitiful efforts to catch her attention.
When they got to Devon junior high,freshman year,Brad had joined the basketball team and become popular as he walked his way up the team.
In their sophomore year,10th grade,he had become the captain of the team being the best player on the team and numerous girls began to ask him out and try to get his attention.
His reputation as a badass playboy then had prevented him from dating Rikki,who was a social misfit then.Then she had being a bit plum but slender.Her plum stature had began to disappear when sophomore year was ending and she began to grow boobs and curves but to him she had always been beautiful.
He had also pulled pranks on her just to watch her gold-green eyes turn molten emerald.Her pink,small but full cupid bows mouth always tightened with frustration whenever I pulled a prank on her.Her mouth always looked stunning and totally kissable and he couldn't wait for the day,he would kiss it thoroughly.
Then at the end of sophomore year,after a music event organised by the school band,Rikki sang a lead role and won the best voice award in Devon high along with the award for best art student in devon high school and became famous.
Though Brad knew that she had secrets.He,himself,had his own secrets.he was glad though that she was a member of the supernatural world.Unfortunately,he just couldn't tell what species of the supernatural world she belonged to.
But brad knew that at least she was a witch afterall it took a witch to recognise a witch.He was sure that she was an hybrid,a witch and something else.He could identify it because they both had that musky scent of witch and something else.He,himself,was an hybrid,half witch and half vampire.
He walked towards her without a second glance at the cheerleaders captain,Shelly.
"Hello Rikki",Brad said as he got near her.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and began to stare at them.They hoped for a prank show too but Brad was happy to disappoint.
* Rikki *
I looked up startled at the sound of my name,I knew that all too familiar arrogant voice.It belonged to no one else but Bradley Regan.
"Hello",I said warily.
He smirked and said,"Oh don't worry,I'm not here to pull a prank on you.I am actually here to ask if you would like to go with me to the fair on friday"
My gold-green eyes flared,"I hope this is not one of your silly jokes Brad"
"Give me a break,rikki do you think I'd ask you if it was a joke,so would you go with me?",Brad said.
Though his voice had a 'I don't care if you say yes or no' quality to it,the glint in his eyes said otherwise.Our gazes locked and I said the first thing that came to mind.
"O..okay then",I said tentatively.
"Okay,I'll see you around",He said smirking and walked away.
Bradley asked me for a date,I thought to myself as I went to take my lunch.I had totally not expected that.
