Bad Boy

I Hate You

The next day was Saturday and I woke up with the biggest headache ever. I roll over and unplug my phone checking it. I got a bunch of texts from Hallie and Rowan from last night, I texted them back letting them know I was okay. Which they replied that they were coming over right now. I groan and roll out of bed throwing on a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie. A few minutes later I heard the doorbell, I got up and walked downstairs and opened the door. "Hey girl what happened to you last night?" Hallie asked as I let them in. I sat them on the couch and they looked at me waiting to explain. "So, I uh, kinda, made out with Brandon" I said looking down. "You what!" they shouted together. "I don't know what happened I wasn't thinking but then I stopped and left" I said looking back up at them. "Oh god" Rowan says looking at me upset. "Is it really that bad?" I say. "Listen, Brandon is an asshole, we all know that he's not gonna just forget about that" she says. I sigh and put my head in my hands. "My first day here and I'm already making out with stupid dudes". We all decide to go out to the mall to try and forget about it before Monday comes. We get to the mall and start walking around, we go into a couple stores then stop at the food court to get something to eat. As we were sitting and eating I glance up and meet eyes with someone I was hoping I wouldn't see, Brandon. I quickly look away hoping that he didn't notice it was me but was too late. He starts walking over to us with a few of his friends with him. "Guys don't look now but Brandon and his friends are coming our way" I whisper across the table. They both look up at me wide eyed trying to act normal. "Well look who it is" I hear him say. I look up and see him leaning right over our table. We all ignore him looking away. They start laughing, "You look like a whore" one of his friends says leaning towards me. "And you look desperate for one" I say leaning close to him. "Whatever" he syas stepping back and walking away with the rest following. I look and see Brandon still looking at me but didn't say anything. When they were out of sight Hallie and Rowan turn back to me. "Wait I'm confused" Rowan says. "So, Brandon didn't tell anyone?" Hallie chimes in. We continue talking and ended up leaving shortly after. The rest of the weekend went by quickly, meaning we were back to school. I arrived at the school completely dreading it. I got out of my car and entered the school. I walked straight to the first class ignoring everyone in sight and took my seat. I was on my phone when I heard someone take the seat right next to me. I look up and see Brandon but quickly look back down trying to avoid him. Class started and everyone took their seats. "Good morning, today were going to me assigning partners for our new project and it will be up to you to talk about one of the worlds biggest issues, from littering to crime, anything that you can think of" the teacher goes on explaining the project. She starts naming off the partners and I hear my name followed by Brandon's name. I look at him and he looks at me, he just smirks and I roll my eyes. "You can come by my house after school and we can work on the stupid project I say. "How about you do it yourself" he says looking at me smiling. "How about you be at my house after school or I'll come find you myself" I say smiling back. I got up and walked out of the classroom. The day went by pretty quick and by now I was at home waiting for Brandon. I was sitting on my bed on my phone when I heard something fall downstairs. This was odd because my mom wasn't home. I quietly walk out of my bedroom and slowly down the stairs. I peak around the corner and see someone standing in my living room. I creep around the corner grabbing a baseball bat and holding it up. I sneak up behind the person and just as I was about to swing they turn around. "Woah!" Brandon yells ducking. "Brandon? Ever heard of a fricking doorbell?" I yell putting down the bat. "Your the one who leaves your door unlocked" he says catching his breath. "Whatever let's just get this project done with" I say turning and grabbing my bag and grabbing my things out of it. We sit on the couch and begin brainstorming ideas. "So a movie we have to create" I say reading through the web on my laptop. "I don't care whatever one is easier" he says looking down at his phone not paying any attention. "Listen the faster we pick a topic and get working the faster we get done with this" I say slamming my hands down on the coffee table. "Whatever" he says putting his phone down. I stare at him thinking. "What are you looking at?" he says annoyed. "Why didn't you tell anyone?" I spit out. He looks at me for a moment. "About what?" he says smiling. He knew exactly what. "You mean, at the party?" he says still smiling, moving closer to me. "You are the biggest asshole at the school, why keep it a secret?" I say still looking at him. He continues to move closer standing up hovering over me. "It's like a book, why publish it to the public if it's not finished" he says in almost a whisper. I stare into his eyes, tongue tied. "If you mess up a book, you get rid of it" I say smaller than intended. His smile drops and he backs up. He grabs his things and heads to the door, as he reaches the door he stops and turns to look at me. "You'll change your mind eventually" he says cracking a smile. "I hate you" I say with a straight face. He smiles even bigger before walking out, shutting the door behind him. When I hear the door shut I sigh putting my head in my hands. All of the sudden my phone goes off, I pick it up looking who it was. It was a video I was tagged in from an account named 'secrets_revealed'. I open it and see a video of the night at the party. It was of me and Brandon. My eyes grew wide as I see myself making out with him, all caught on video. The video was followed with a caption that read 'Mistakes happen'. I throw my phone on the ground standing up, running my hands through my hair. Who did this? Why me? Now the whole school knows. This had to be Brandon, right?
