The popular boy and me?

Chapter 3

            Crystal’s POV

I was walking to Zach’s car because he said he’d drive me home today, when I noticed a tuft of green sticking up from the other side of the car. I hurried over to the car, wondering who it could be. As I got closer, I realized it was a teen boy, but I could only see his side. I took a few steps closer before realizing who it was.

            “Michael, what are you doing here?” I groaned

            He looked up at me and smirked, “Oh I just came here to tell you that we’re going out on a date Saturday night,” he said, waiting for my reaction.

            “Yea, in your dreams! I’m going out with Josh Friday night, why would I go out with you the next night? I think you must be confusing me for Hailey because I’d never go out with two guys on dates in the same weekend,” I replied frowning at him.

            He glanced down at me with a smile, “Fine then, you’re coming to the Sweet Shop with me and we can have our date today, happy now?”           

            “Why do I need to go out on a date with you?” I asked. He seemed flustered for a second, but that look was quickly replaced by his signature smirk.

            “You’re the only girl in the grade that I haven’t taken on a date yet,” he replied simply. Oh, yea. He dated Meghan in fifth grade and Samantha in sixth, like those even counted. How dare he? I thought he was being sweet, but of course he has to keep up his man-whore ways. As more and more thoughts flowed through my head, I got angrier and angrier with him. I slapped him hard, across the face. Even though I was mad at him, I couldn't help but notice how well-defined his face was. As I went in to slap him again, he grabbed my arm and put it back down by my side.

            “Geez, what was that for babe? Alright, c’mon let’s just calm down and I’ll buy you a coffee at the Sweet Shop,” he said calmly, as though I hadn’t just slapped him and then tried to slap him, again. That just infuriated me even more.

            “No! I’m not going with you on this stupid date so that you can just tell everyone that you’ve dated the entire grade! How do you expect me to be okay with the fact that you just want to take me out on a date just so that you can brag to the whole grade?” A look of hurt flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced with a scowl.

            “Fine, but just remember what you’re missing out on babe,” he said, and then winked before walking away. My phone vibrated from inside my pocket and I picked it up.

            “What?” I growled into the phone.

            “How was showing Josh around? He is soo hot!” Meghan yelled into the phone.

            “It was fun and he’s super nice! Michael was being a complete ass, though”.

            “What do you mean?” she asked. I told her everything about how Michael had tried to stop me from going out on a date with Josh, to the part where he said he wanted to date me so that he could have dated the entire girl population of the grade.

            “I can’t believe him!” she screamed into the phone.

            “I know,” I said shaking my head even though she couldn’t see me, “I actually thought he wanted to go on a date with me!”

            “I know, he seemed kind of into you,” she replied

            “Well, there’s only one way to find out,” I said back.

            “How?”

           “I’m going to try to make him jealous when I’m around Josh. I feel bad because Josh is really nice, but I hate Michael and it’s time for him to pay. Plus, if Josh likes me, he won’t mind.”

            “Good idea, I can’t wait to see the look on Michael’s face!” she said, giggling into the phone. Me too, I thought to myself. He always used girls all the time and never got to feel their pian, so this was payback. I smirked, feeling satisfied with myself.
