it was worth it

chapter 4

It's been a couple hours since my last encounter with James happened earlier today during lunch, school was finally over thank god. I walk through the halls with Evelyn and our other friends finding our way towards the entrance in front of the school. "Well i'll see you guys later, I have to meet up with my mom," our friend Ashley said as she walked away. "I have to go too, see you guys tomorrow." Our other friend Laura said as she walked to her dad's car.  "Okay now you have to tell me what the fuck was that show in lunch." Evelyn said as we were just standing there  "Lets get ice cream first," I said pointing to the ice cream cart right next to the entrance of the school.

"Okay so?" She said as she nudged me and ate her vanilla ice cream. "Well? What do you want to say" I laughed. "There's something with you and James I'm telling you," she chuckled as I rolled my eyes and laughed, I got a text, Unknown, "Speaking of" "You have his number? God this is too good" She said as if she was excited? "Please, I don't even know how he got my number" I said as I opened the text, I should probably change his name

dickwad: what flavor is that ;)

"I swear this guy is a fucking stalker" I said looking around I spot him leaning on a motorcycle behind a few other cars. "What did he find your only fans?" Evelyn snickered. "Oh shut up" I said as she walked next to me as we approached James. "So, cookies and cream" He said as he looked down at my ice cream bowl "Do you need something stalker?" I said as I crossed my arms, Evelyn just tried to contain her sarcastic smile. "You owe me remember? My house after school, it's clearly after school sweetheart" He smirked.

"One don't call me sweetheart perv, two I never agreed to it." I said as Evelyn just looked at me with slightly widened eyes. "The projects due in like 4 days, you want to get a F, because I surely don't mind" He said as came closer to me, again I could smell his sauvage dior cologne. He has a point, ugh. "Well, I should probably go, have fun you two." Evelyn laughed as she was walking to her car.

"Ok well, why don't you just come to my house instead? I know my mom wouldn't want me.. Well you know" I said as I took a step back, still eating my ice cream. "Its not like we're gonna fucking, well, fuck?" He said, I could tell he was trying not to laugh. Man whore, is that sexist? "Ok fine, but i'm not riding on your death machine, just saying." I said pointing at his motorcycle. He laughed, "Sage, I'm not your dream boy who rides a motorcycle, let's go." He said as he walked to a black Mercedes benz. Who was gonna tell me this man had money. "This is your ride?" I said pointing to the car. "Yup" He said dryly as I threw out the rest of my ice bowl and we both got in the car, he rolled down the windows, it's a nice day outside.  It's a nice car, clean, black seats, I saw that he had a picture hanging from the car it was him in like 6th grade with a tall woman with her arms around him, im guessing his mother. I smiled, until he interrupted my train of thoughts when he leaned over to me, he looked me in the eyes, god those dark brown eyes. He looked down at my lips then back to my eyes and smirked, "Seatbelt" He said as he took the seatbelt and buckled me in. "Thanks" I said as i looked out the window, why am i hardcore blushing right now?

I looked outside and saw Ryan and the rest of the basketball team coming out the building. Shit, we made eye contact for a second. "Sage?" He said out loud as he walked away from the team, James and I both looked in his direction, I glanced at James and his jaw was clenched, man clearly has anger issues. "Hey Ryan," I said with a forced smile. He came up the car and I lowered the window a little more, he put his arms on the window opening, "Get your paws off my car" James raised his voice at him, Ryan rolled his eyes at him and turned back to me "Sage, i can give you a ride, my cars right over there." "Oh-" I said as James cut me off, "She clearly already has a ride, you're taking up our time to go to my house." my god, he's doing it on purpose. When James said that, Ryan looked at me, with a surprised look on his face. "Yeah um, we have a project that we need to work on, but thank you for the offer." I said with a thin lip smile. He raised his eyebrows, "Okay well just call me if you need anything" he smiled and walked away.
