Twisted Love

Chapter 5

As I sit here in English class I can't help but to zone out what my lovely teacher is saying. No sarcasm intended because this angelic featured man really was lovely. Despite my overly attractive English teacher, I can't stop thinking about the events that took place over the weekend- my falling out with James and my date with Cristiano. I had just gotten to this school and I'm having drama in my life already.

"Miss Santiago, are you listening to what I'm saying?" Mr.Gomez hisses, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Y-yes sir," I splutter.

With that not-so-convincing answer he continues with his lesson. He may not have really cared and just wanted to get this session over with, but I'm fine with that. While deep in thought, a small paper ball lands on my desk after bouncing off my forehead.

I look around to see if the sender was looking at me but everyone's attention was focused on Mr.Gomez. I slowly pick it up, looking at it unsurely. I unravel it and am surprised to see that it is from James. It reads:

Luna,
Please meet me at the mall after school. I really need to talk to you- it's really important. :).x

-James

I look to my left to see him looking at me with pleading eyes and his hands were kind of clasped.

I mentally slap myself at what I reply.
"Fine," I mouthed, rolling my eyes.

Why did I agree? The world may never know. Maybe it's because he's cute and I'm kind of shallow. But anyways, that's not the point. The bell signals that class is over and I pack my things, grab my bag and head out the door. As I am about to go to my second session, I am stopped by someone holding onto my elbow.

I spin around to face a cute ginger boy. I stand still for a moment, waiting for him to speak. He doesn't, so I decide to.

"Um...I have to get to class so, did you want to speak to me? Because..." I mutter, hand gestures and all.

He jumps a bit before he answers, almost like he was in a daze, "O-oh, right. Sorry about that. I just thought that maybe you'd like to come to my party on Friday. It's gonna be huge!"

I like his British accent.

"It's Monday."

"So?"

"It's literally the second session on the first day back to school and you're planning another party already?"

"Ohh right, you're the new girl! Well I'll have you know that here, parties are held almost every weekend so it's no big deal, really," He pauses, "oh and I'm Ed, it's nice to meet ya," he finishes, holding a hand out for me to shake which I do.

"Do you mind walking because I don't wanna be late," I say.

"Oh sure," he says and starts walking with me.

"So..are you coming?" He asks.

"If parties are held every weekend why do you go around inviting people individually? Isn't that a waste of time?"

"Err...I know but I just do it for the fun of it. Just kidding. There are some really hot girls that need a little convincing to attend sometimes, if you know what I mean. So...you coming or not?"

"Am I one of those 'really hot girls that need some convincing to attend' because it seems like you're trying to convince me to come."

"No you aren't, but you are really hot. Anyways, just come. Here's my number, I'll text you the address if you message me for it. Later," he adds a wink and walks off.
