chapter 2

Eddie waited all day for the perfect moment to catch her alone to talk to her about the project and now was the time. It was almost time for 7th period, everyone was already making their way to class except for her she stood at her locker by herself.

Scarlett stood in front of her locker looking inside as she touched up her lipgloss looking in a mirror she had hanging. Eddie said under his breath " Here goes nothing. " as he came striding over and leant against the locker next to hers.

" Alvarez. " Eddie greeted with a grin. " Munson. " Scarlett hummed as she closed her locker. " So about that project... " Eddie continued. " Mhmm... " She said as she leaned her back against the locker turning to look at him which couldn't help but make him a bit nervous.

" Where do you uh...wanna work on it at? " He asked as he toyed with his rings. He usually wasn't ever this nervous when he was around girls...well maybe because he was rarely around them other than Clair who associated herself with the Hellfire Club.

" Library obviously. " She stated. " Right. Just making sure. " He chuckled trying to play it off.

" I can be there at 4 today, is that alright? " She asked batting her eyelashes. " Yup 4 is perfect. " He said smoothly as his eyes trailed down to her plump lips. " Cool I'll see you later then. " She waved him off quickly and left. All he could do is watch her walk away and try contain his excitement...it was gonna be just him and her. I mean who wouldn't wanna be alone with her? He practically has been waiting which felt like forever to have a moment alone with her.

Soon as 4 o'clock hit Eddie was there. He patiently waited at an empty table tapping his pencil. He sighed as he looked at his watch. She was 30 minutes late and he was starting to doubt that she'd show up, he knew it was too good to be true. Soon as he was about to get up from his chair he heard the front doors of the library open and looked up to see Scarlett walking in.

" Hey sorry for keeping you waiting my boyfriend was being a shithead. " She sighed as she walked up to the table he was sitting at and took a seat. " No worries. " he said smoothly.

Truth be told he could never understand what she saw in a dude like Jacob other than the popularity that came with dating a guy like that. But in Eddie's eyes Jacob was the King of Duchebags. He also never understood what she saw in the group of people she hung out with. They all were stuck up and liked to put people beneath them...all except for Scarlett. She stuck out like a sore thumb in her crowd of friends.

From her choice of clothing to her interests. Eddie was big on observing especially when it came to her, he noticed that she wasn't a bitch to people unless they deserved it. He saw she was genuinely nice to those who have a " lower status " than her which was surprising to him because ever other popular person would be complete assholes to those " beneath " them.

Another thing that caught his attention was her choice of clothing. He noticed she liked to only ever wear dark clothing, he never saw her in pink, purple, yellow...anything bright. Unlike the crew of chicks she hung out with which only ever wore obnoxiously bright colors and pastels. Scarlett though on the other hand only wore dark colors such as black, grey, dark red, and navy blue.

He noticed she would only ever wear high top converse or combat boots and never gold jewelry she specifically only wore silver. She also liked to wear her hair down rather than up unless it was for cheer. He also noticed she never wore any of those bright colors on her eyes for makeup, her go to was a simple smokey eye or eyeliner which he thought suited her brown eyes. Especially her nose piercing which was a silver hoop, and one more thing he noticed she had a favorite leather jacket she would always wear. He always thought her style was pretty cool to be honest.
