Princess

Princess chap.1

CHAPTER 1

I sat slouched in my seat listening to my English teacher talk and constantly yell at the group of boys in the middle desks to stop goofing off. Today was oral report day. Thank God there was only one week left and high school would finally be over.  

I was dozing off when I heard the faint sound of someone crying from out and down the hallway, and by the high pitch gasps, I could tell it was a girl. Then I heard a deep voice call out “Later, bitch!”. The door swung open and in walked Jake. Mr. Boyko didn’t even ask why he was twenty minutes late for class; he knew it would only result in a rude rebuttal from Jake. He just brushed past everyone and sat in the way back corner of the classroom in the shadow of the large bookcase. 

Everyone knew to stay out of his way. He had been held back last year because he missed too many days due to all his suspensions. He was known to always have a some poor girl following him around because he made her. He wasn’t exactly someone you said “no” to. Every guy knew not to even look at his girl or Jake would beat him up. He was super built and towered over everyone, and the dark clothing he wore made him even more intimidating.

I glanced back at him. His dark, messy hair fell around his forehead, just a little above his eyes. He was leaning back with his toned arms crossed over his strong chest, just staring out the window. He really was gorgeous, though. I was becoming mesmerized by his chocolate brown eyes when all of a sudden they flitted to look at me. I quickly turned around and prayed he didn’t know I’d been staring.  Just then  Mr. Boyko called on me to give my report. I sighed as I slowly made my way to the front of the class. I was talking about the play we were studying and blahblahblah when I noticed Jake staring at me with the corners of his mouth turned up into a sly little smile. I was having trouble concentrating and he was making me feel uncomfortable. I was kind of used to these sort of looks from guys because, hey, from my naturally tanned skin, long dark hair, and youthful face, I was alright looking. His eyes trailed up and down my body a few times like I was a piece of candy. I was only wearing yoga pants and a v-neck but the look he was giving me made me feel naked. I wanted to vomit. I quickly ended my presentation and sat down as Mr. Boyko gave the boys in the middle a last warning.  Jake’s stare followed me all the way back to my seat. I was happy I sat a few rows in front of him so I didn’t have to look at his revolting self. Seriously, the guy disgusted me. 

“Alright, that’s it. I let you guys pick your seats but these knuckleheads in the middle are going to ruin it. I’m going to have to change seats,” Mr. Boyko said. Greeeat, I thought. The boys in the middle all got broken apart and one ended up taking my seat. “Angela you can go sit in the empty seat in the back next to Jake,” Mr. Boyko told me. Of course. I trudged to the back and sat down. Jake just eyed me. His face showed pure amusement at my unwillingness. “It’s alright Princess, I won’t bite” he whispered and winked. I just stared straight ahead, but when I glimpsed over, I caught him eyeing my chest. I pulled my shirt up and glared at him. He just smiled cheekily. 

Class went on as other people gave their reports. I was just listening to my iPod with 1D on shuffle, ignoring the obvious looks Jake was taking at me,  when he leaned over and took out my earphones. “Hey Princess, I think I’m gonna take you out tomorrow night. I’m sure you have nothing to do,” he stated. Now, he was right, I was probably just going to scroll through my Tumblr, even though it was Saturday, but I wasn’t going to be one of his little hoes that just does what he tells me. Plus, I am naturally stubborn when people try to tell me what to do.

“Sorry, I would have an excuse not to go, but I’ll tell you ‘no’ because honestly, I don’t want to go out with you,” I said simply. 

Anger flashed through his eyes. “Sorry Princess, but it wasn’t really a question.” This pissed me off.

“Well I have no desire to go on a date with a dick like you, so I think I‘ll pass. And the name’s Angela, not Princess.”

“I’m picking you up at 8. Wear something pretty. And sorry Princess, but I’ll call you whatever the hell I want,” he shot at me.

Thankfully, the bell rang and I quickly got up. “Jake I know you think you can force any other girl in the school to go out with you, but I don’t give a shit who you are, nor am I scared of you. So seeya later.” I told him and turned to walk away.

He roughly grabbed my wrist, yanking me super close to him, and put his lips right up to my ear. His massive body towered over my small frame, so he had to lean down a lot. I had never really noticed how much bigger he was than me. His hot breath tickled my neck.  “That’s okay Princess, I like a challenge. But always know that I get what I want.” And with that he walked away, leaving me feeling a little scared of him for the first time.
