Enemies With Benefits / A Doah Story (ON HOLD)

Chapter Three - Trouble

Continuation from chapter two

Noah's POV

Sitting in my car, I look in the rearview mirror watching Dixie and Mr. Parker. They look like they know each other, they do know each other. It doesn't look like flirting, but I could be wrong. The last thing I need is to be brought into any teacher-student relationship drama. Although it just makes it more challenging, I'll have to move Dixie up on my list. By next Wednesday we'll know each other all the way. I smile pulling out of the parking lot, needing to shower and get ready for tonight. There is a party at my dorm tonight, hosted by Bryce and me. I park, walking in and seeing all the crap that's already set up. I laugh at this school, they know we throw parties and don't do anything about it. They also know what goes down at the parties, and they still don't do anything about it. Meaning drinking, and probably drugs, but I couldn't be sure about that. I don't do drugs, I have sports to worry about and a big future working with my father in our family company. I'm not even completely sure what the company is, I think electronics like appliances and electricity. Once everything is set up, I call Logan. He is the manager at the dinner, and he supplies the alcohol. Yes, the dinner has alcohol. Teachers can go there and also it's a normal restaurant for people to come and sit at. It's weird. When no one answers, I get up. No way can I throw a party with the drinks! Driving down to the diner, I go straight up to Logan who is now behind the bar. I was just here earlier for food, and he said he had it all ready.

"Noah" He greets, slipping a paper towards me. I look down and it has the price for the drinks, I stuff it in my back pocket without looking really.

"Is it ready now?" I ask, looking around making sure there aren't any big supervisors in the building. I still have to be careful about it. I spot Dixie and she isn't alone. Mr. Parker?

Maybe they are together, that's against school rules though. So if they were together they wouldn't be out in the open about it for people to see. "Hey, Logan," I say, catching his attention. "Do they come often?" I ask, looking in their direction.

"Once a month they come here together. He is one of Dixie's older brothers' friends so they know each other." He asks then turns the question on me.

"No reason just wondering," I smirk, and he chuckles. "What?" I ask.

"Yeah, that won't happen dude. She won't even give you her phone number." He replies, wiping off the counter even though it looks clean to me.

"I know that I already asked," I admit. "Boyfriend or anything?"

"Not that I know of. Maybe that Nick guy who plays baseball.. you know blond hair. They come in a lot and they're very friendly at school." He says as we both look over at the two talking completely oblivious to us. She is hot though, with long black hair, she is tall, but not like a weird tall girl. Smart. Looking at her body though, she has perfect curves and isn't anorexic skinny. I mentally move her up on my list. Then something odd happens. She looks up, as she sees me. I smile waving, and she rolls her eyes looking back to Mr. Parker

"Yes, she will be a challenge." I sigh, and Logan just laughs some more. Then we figure out everything with the drinks and say goodbye until later. Heading back, I take care of the drinks and it's time to let people know there is a party. I send out a mass text to all the numbers in my phone, and then I plop on the couch next to Bryce and wait.

The party is at full blast now, and I feel bad for the janitor who has to clean up after this. I walk through the kitchen with two Jello shots in hand, I look for a target. I spot one, with black hair dancing in a group with her friends. I watch her a little longer, still trying to see if I'm interested or not. I see there are a couple of brunettes around her and a blonde. I can't see her face very well, with the lights and dancing. I see her pause in a perfect spot for me to see her face. She is alright, I let out a breath. So far all the girls tonight seem to only be okay. Nothing completely interesting. I'm comparing them to Dixie, that's a very bad thing. I still watch her though, as she smiles, and starts walking towards me, but she isn't looking at me. I look over, and I slip off the wall drinking both the shots myself. It's Dixie! I stay there as the two of them finally get to each other and listen to their conversation.

"How was Austin?" the girls ask Dixie.

"Mr. Parker." She replies, "and Fine. How's the party?" She asks, looking out into the crowd. I scan real quick to wondering if there is someone here she came to be with

"Fun like usual. It's Noah and Bryce, they made sure everything was ready, even a bowl of condoms!" The girl laughs.

"I don't doubt it!" Dixie laughs. "So have the hosts spotted their girls tonight yet?" She asks, and some guy walks up to them offering them both drinks. They accept them and take the piece of paper he offers. Dixie gives it to the girl.

"Not that I know of, I haven't seen either of them yet." She opens the paper. "He was cute Dixie, sure you don't want this." She offers it to her.

"She doesn't need some number from a guy who just gave her a beer Madison, she isn't stupid." Another guy joins them. Only I know this one, it's Nick. I play baseball with him. "Hey, Dixie!" He smiles at her, and they hug. smile, no boyfriend, he is friend-zoned.

I walk away getting bored, and not wanting to get caught. I head back towards the kitchen wanting something else to drink. I run into Addison, and she is all over me either pretending to be drunk or is drunk. I pull her off of me, not wanting to have anything to do with her. She may be the school's slut and easiest girl to be sure to get action from but She and Bryce are Ex's. Even though neither of them had feelings for each other it was more of a benefits thing, but they still told people they were together. I'm surprised with Bryce, he has been getting better lately. TryingActually trying to find a girlfriend I think he is crazy. But now that he and Addison broke things off she is back to me. I'm on the top of her list, sadly.

Later on, as people start leaving, because we start running low on drinks, I hang out and see what girls stuck around. I see Madison, Dixie's friend, she and Bryce are talking. I roll my eyes and head out the door searching for fresh air. No one tonight. It was a party event and I didn't find anyone. That's three weeks without anyone. Tonight I'm sure I would've found someone if I wasn't being weird and thinking of Dixie at the same time. Speaking of Dixie.... though I see her leaning against a tree, with her arms crossed. I walk down towards her, and she is a little tipsy. Maybe I can coax her.

"Hey whatcha doing out here alone?" I ask leaning against the tree as well. She looks at me as if she doesn't recognize me. I let her think about it a second, watching as her eyes size me up. It makes me laugh yet uncomfortable. Girls never need to check me out, they just take one glance and swoon but not her.

"Noah," She says, without slurring or anything. Maybe she isn't drunk? "No girl tonight?" She smiles, and I still can't tell.

"Hmmm only if you say no." I smile at her and she just rolls her eyes again. Then closes them and lays her head against the tree.

"Nope!" She smiles with her eyes closed still, and pops the P. "You're not my type anyway." She adds, looking behind her.

"Waiting for someone?" I ask, trying to still coax her.

"Yes." She replies, reaching up and picking leaves off the tree. She tears it apart, not saying anything else on the matter.

"Well, you sure are something else," I tell her and her cheeks turn pink.

"What is that supposed to mean?" She looks up at me, amused yet not. I chuckle seeing that the alcohol she did consume has lowered her inhibition level.

"You're not swooning at the sight of me," I say looking down at her, and she scoffs pushing away from the tree.

"I'm not interested... at all so there isn't a reason to swoon" She informs me, and I give her an oh really look. She just nods. "Oh.. well there is Nick. See you next Wednesday" then she walks off, and I can see her relax. I made her tense. She was nervous. So I do have some effect on her. Well, Dixie, you'll be seeing me earlier than Wednesday next week.
