CHAPTER 2

"Omygooooooooooooood!! Are you freaking serious Athena? Drake asked you out? Omygosh!!" It's the 15th time she asked me this ridiculous question. Like uh, it's not really a big deal for me. Yeah, the guy's hot and has mystically magical eyes, but he's not my type. Besides, having someone with me is a huge risk. I simply answered to her. "Yeah. And if you'll ask again my answer's yes. So please stop bugging me. You're freaking annoying!" I hissed. She just glared at me.

It's my last class already. CHEMISTRY. Well, if you'll ask me, I love this subject even if it brings the hell out of people. I love all fields of Sciences. Hey don't judge me, it's really interesting. "Ms. Evans could you please explain how the orange LED in liquid nitrogen works?" Professor Richter asked. I stood up and thought about it for a minute and answered straight, "When an LED is immersed in liquid nitrogen, the electrons lose a lot of thermal energy, even when the light isn't turned on. When this happens, the band gap in the semiconductors increases. Since this gap is increased, when electrons in the conduction band fall to the valence band, they emit a higher energy light, meaning the light emitted has a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency. This is why we see the orange light turn into colors that are higher on the electromagnetic spectrum when it is frozen in the liquid nitrogen." I confidently said.

"Thank you Ms. Evans that was an intelligent answer. Please be seated. Okay now for your assignment..."

Chemistry class is done. I was busy fixing my things when I heard a knock from the door. "Hey Al, you done?" Drake said smiling. "Uh yeah, wait a sec."

We went to the parking lot. I figured since he's known to be a 'notorious bad boy' as Leigh said, we would be riding a large bike like cliche bad boys have. But boy I was wrong. I am literally drooling right now. In front of me was a Black Maybach Exelero. Damn this was my dream car! "Shit a Maybach?! Seriously?!" He has this amused expression on his face then he opened the front seat door for me. "Hop in milady." This guy totally amuses me.

While he was busy driving, I was like literally checking out the whole interior of the car. It was beyond my expectations. "Aw I'm jealous of Blarkie. You're checking him out." My jaw dropped when he mentioned Blarkie. "What?! The car has a name?" I asked. "Ofcourse this was my first baby." He has this huge 'I am proud' smile plastered on his gorgeous face. Now I find him cute.

"Thanks. But I'm no pup. I prefer hot, sexy or gorgeous." He said while wiggling his eyebrows like he was teasing me. Did I say that out loud? "Yes." He answered. And I did it again. Damn embarrassment. "Haha look at your face, you're red." I didn't speak. Instead, I just looked away and focused on the window.

We were on the road for 20 minutes already so I decided to break the silence. "So where are we going?" "It's a surprise." Uh. Okay. "Hey when I heard you and your girlfriend fighting he mentioned Dash? So where's Dash in your name?" I asked. "Well my full name's Drake Marco Nichols but my friends call me Dash since I own a lot of race cars. I find it cool though." "So your girlfriend and you are you like uh okay now? Uhm I mean, did you two uh resolved your problem or something? I uhm didn't mean to intrude or gossip uhm I'm uh just curious." What the hell did I just say? I'm stuttering. Ugh. "Haha don't be too conscious I'm not gonna eat you." He laughed. "You're always curious. No, she's a slut. She slept with my brother." He said. "Hah too bad for her she let a gorgeous guy like you slip away." I covered my mouth. Fuck this did I just say that. The heck is happening to me. "Stupide." I whispered to myself. When I looked at him he was laughing so hard I could just listen to it forever. "You're too funny, Al. Accidentally saying things is just too cute. Hahahaha!" I blushed. "Effortless sense of humor you got there, Al." He said after laughing. "Uhm you can just call me Athena. I really find Al a weird name." I told him. "Oh a goddess's name huh. Well you do look like one." Then he looked at me with those eyes. I was blushing hard when the car stopped.

"We're here." He said. We went out of the car and when I stepped outside I can't help but gasp.

"This is the most enchanting place I'd ever seen." I looked at him with amused eyes. "Where did you find this place?" I asked.

See multimedia above.

"When my mom died, I wandered and wandered and wandered with no destination. From our house, I walked my way here to this paradise. I was so broken..she was the only one there for me..she loved me."

"But your dad?" I saw pain and hatred in his eyes. "I don't have a father. He's not my father. He ki.. He doesn't care for me." He what? Kills? "Who's your father Dash?"

"Sebastian Avreius Jones, my stepdad." Jones Jones Jones you didn't tell me you had sons. Tsk tsk. "Your brother?"

"Blake Andrei Nichols" Are you kidding me? Brix is his brother?

"Dash, Blake is Brix right?" I asked.

"Yes. You know him?" Curiosity evident in his eyes.

"Brix.. he's my.. uhm my.. ex-boyfriend."

"You're not a virgin anymore?!" I was beyond shocked by his question. "Ofcourse I am! I know your brother's a douche bag but ours was real. I had to leave him because of more important priorities."

"So you're the mysterious lady who broke his heart. He even tried to kill himself for you, you know that?" And that made my guilt rise.

"No I didn't. I thought he understood. He told me he hates me. I tried to explain myself numerous times but he didn't listen. I even sent him letters and e-mails but your brother really loathed me."

"So what was the reason you broke up with my brother?"

Trust no one, Athena. TRUST NO ONE.

"It's part of the past. No need to bring it back." I smiled.

"Okay I understand."

We just talked for a few more hours while waiting for the sunset.

"Athena, do you think I'm a bad guy?" Dash asked. "Ofcourse not, even if I just met you yesterday. Based on what you showed me and how you look, you're not that bad."

"Looks can be deceiving." He looked at me. "So you're a bad guy?"

"Yes." He answered.

"Then I'm the worst." I said.
