"What is he doing here?" I hiss when Sarah grabs my hand and spins me around. She's dressed in a beautiful white dress which makes her skin look even bronzier than it already is. She really is the princess of us kooks and she deserves the name.
"Who?" She asks me while she dances with me in the middle of the crowd. Our parents are sitting together at a table talking about business and I couldn't take it anymore. Besides Sarah wanted me to save her from Topper who's being an ass for the whole evening- more than he already is normally.
"The Pogue." I mutter nodding my head over the familiar blonde boy that now sets his eyes on us while he tries to blend in with the crowd. Sarah's eyes follow mine and after she sees JJ her eyes wander around as if she's searching for someone else.
"What's wrong?" I ask her concerned and she shakes her head continuing to dance with me. "Come on I know somethings wrong." I tell her worried and she bites her lip in thought. I can see that she's holding back and it feels weird because normally we didn't have secrets from each other.
"Hey ladies looking fine this evening." A third voice speaks up and I stiffen when I feel a warm hand against my back. I have a tight dress on which makes me feel the contact of the hand even more, the heat seeping through the thin material. I turn my head to the side to see JJ looking at me his lips pulled in a small grin.
"What are you doing here? If someone notices you, you're going to get in so much trouble." I tell him and he winks at me.
"I see you're worried about me but as cute as your concern is Lola it's not necessary." He says and I shouldn't be surprised he knows my name I know his too even though we never spoke to each other.
It's not like we didn't have the chance to but we strictly didn't. The difference of our worlds are too prominent to ignore them.
"I'm not concerned I just don't have the nerve for drama." I say glaring at him while I remove his hand from my back. "Is..is he here?" Sarah suddenly speaks up and I look at her surprised.
"Who?" I ask her confused while JJ holds up a small piece of folded paper. "This is from Vlad." He says and I furrow my brows even more. What the hell are they talking about?
Sarah's eyes sparkle when she takes the note from him and nods. JJ nods at her and gives me a wink before he moves through the crowd again and disappears into the restaurant. "I'm gonna be back in a minute." Sarah says and I hold my arms up and let them drop back down when she leaves.
I narrow my eyes at where JJ disappeared and the decision is made. I shoot a look to where my parents are sitting at but they don't look my way so I disappear into the restaurant as well. I rush through the halls and search for the blonde and I do find him when I hear a familiar voice.
"Not looking so tough right now." It's Rafe. God this dude has some serious anger issues. I round the corner and take in the situation before my eyes. Rafe, Topper and Kelce are standing across from JJ who has a smug look on his face.
I don't think he should be looking this smug right now. "What's going on?" I speak up and walk over to them my heels clicking against the floor. I stop between the two 'groups' and look at Rafe.
"Lola you should get out of here this doesn't concern you." He says strictly and I raise one brow at him. "Oh but it concerns him?" I ask nodding my head over at JJ who looks even more smug.
"Do we really need to do this right now?" Rafe asks me annoyed while Topper and Kelce share an unsure look. Good they're insecure in their decision that's good. "I don't know Rafe do we?" I ask him.
I'm so full of this whole Pogue and Kooke shit it's getting old. They need to grow the fuck up and let this go. "Three against one that's not really fair is it?" I speak up again and walk slowly beside JJ.
Rafe looks like he wants to slash my throat out but I know he won't. "You're being serious right now? Your taking his side?" Topper speaks up and I roll my eyes because they still don't get it.
"There are no sides Topper. There is just you guys being unnecessary assholes. Now fuck off or I'm gonna talk to both your parents about it." I say and I see the decision crumble in Kelce's and Toppers faces.
As ridiculous as it sounds if you want to stop rich boys just threaten with telling them parents. Because parents being angry equals no money from them.
"Come on man it's not worth it. He's not worth it." Kelce speaks up and wants to pull Topper back but he shakes his head.
"No this little piece of shit deserves to be beat up! He pulled a gun on me and thinks he's gonna get away with it." He says aggressively and I let out an annoyed sigh.
I take a few steps forward to Rafe because I know he's the one who needs to turn his back so the other two leave as well. "Don't make a fool out of yourself Rafe. Trust me for once, you know me this isn't worth it." I try to knock some sense into him and I see it crumble in his blue eyes. I know this won't be the last time he threatens JJ but it feels wrong to let them do this.
His jaw clenches before he takes a step back. Finally. Topper looks at him bewildered but when Rafe tells them to back off they do. What bimbos. They all leave and I hear JJ laugh behind me.
"That was fucking amazing." He says and I turn around and look at him. "Do you have a death wish or something ? What do you think would've happened if I didn't show up?" I tell him genuinely confused by him.
He's always provoking them like he has nine life's. "I don't but thanks for asking princess." His eyes sparkle mischievously and I take a step closer. "What was on the note you gave Sarah? And who is Vlad?"
"Jealous?" He asks a suggestive look on his face. I furrow my brows and shake my head. "You're a pogue." I state the obvious and his brows raise as he takes a step forward standing close to me.
"You just said-two seconds ago-that there are no sides and now you're telling me I'm a pogue?" He asks and I look up at him taking in his scent.
I take a step back because I know I'm in dangerous terrain. He sometimes has this crazy eyes and you never can predict what he's going to do next.
"What was on the piece of paper?"
"It's none of your business."
"It is when it concerns my best friend." I state and he takes another step forward. Something flies in the air around us and it's weighing down my shoulders and makes my toes tingle.
"Hmm..seems to me like you're jealous." He says again and makes the anger flare up in my veins. "I'm not jealous Maybank stop it with this shit." I tell him angry and his smirk widens.
He opens his mouth to say something again but I don't let him when I put my hand in his neck and let his lips collide with mine. He responds immediately his arms winding themselves around me as he presses me against the next wall.
The tension releases itself in my body when he moves his lips against mine and I open my mouth for him. I let my hands wander from his neck over his shoulders and to his chest while our tongues meet aggressively.
I put my anger in the kiss and he's meeting me just as forcefully. His jaw is scruffy against my skin and it turns me on even more. We part for a second to breathe, our chests heaving quickly eyes meeting.
"Definitely jealous." He mumbles his eyes dark as they stay on my lips. "Shut up." I say breathlessly before I push my lips back against his.
