Princess chap.2

CHAPTER 2

I quickly drove home after school. I knew Jake wouldn’t follow me, but his words back in Mr. Boyko’s class left me with the uneasy feeling that I was being watched. 

I got home and went inside. There was a note on the counter from my dad. “Went out for a while. Be back later tonight, don’t bother waiting up,” it said. Probably at the bar… I thought. I hurried upstairs to get stuff ready to spend the night at my best friend Alaina’s house. She was going to love what I had to tell her about Jake.

I changed out of my school clothes and into just a tank top and sweats. She’d probably be wearing the same thing. My phone buzzed from where I left it on my desk.

I picked it up and saw I had two messages; one from Alaina saying I could come over anytime and the other was from a number I didn’t recognize. I opened it and it said

hey babe, nice ass;) you should shut your window when you change, don’t want anyone seeing what’s mine -J x

Disgusted, I hurried over to the window just in time to see a black SUV driving away. Damn, Jake knew where I lived now. And I didn’t even want to know how he got my number. Whatever, I thought. I had just packed a few essentials into a bag and hopped in the car to drive to Alaina’s when my phone buzzed again from my pocket. I took it out and there was a message from Jake:

change of plans princess, we’re going out tonight, be ready by 8. -J xx

Well sorry for him, I wouldn’t be at my house for him to pick me up, and I doubt he knew where Alaina lived. I drove over and just left myself in. I found her in the kitchen, watching TV. I was right, she was also in her pajamas with her light brown hair messily framing the sides of her sharp features.

“Heeey” she greeted me. “Want a drink?”

“Sure.” I replied as she poured us some soda and spiked hers with a little alcohol. I just laughed and rolled my eyes; this didn’t surprise me.

“So whatsup?” she asked as she sipped her beverage. I was dying to tell her about Jake, so I let the whole story from English just spill out of my mouth like word vomit. Then I told her about the text messages and him going to get me tonight. When I was done, she just stared at me with her mouth hanging open.

Then she bursted out into laughter. “What’s so funny…” I questioned, not really seeing the amusing side of this.

“Omigod! You have to go out with him! He’s like the most popular guy in school and he’s totally hot!” she said.

“OR I won’t because he’s like really dangerous and rude! Plus, I don’t wanna be one of his little whores he pushes around”

“I would love to be one of his whores! Ha remember there was that rumor going around that he killed someone last year?”

“Not helping…” I said as my phone buzzed.

on my way over, be ready. -J x

it read. I replied:

sorry hun, but don’t bother going to my house, i wont be there.

As soon as the message sent, I got another one.

Princess it hurts knowing that you don’t think I can easily find you. Nice try. See you in a bit. -J

Alaina and I just stared at my phone screen. “He seems mad…” she said. I still didn’t think he’d find me when all of a sudden there was a hard knock at the door. Alaina and I jumped and looked at each other, neither of us knowing what to do. “Is the door locked?” I mouthed and Alaina worriedly shook her head. Then the door was pushed open and in stormed Jake.
