Ain't Shady Baby, I'm Hot

17

"I'm going to throw up." I said over the phone as I buttoned the navy blue blazer over the long sleeve light blue button up.

"Awe! You look so dashing! I'm sure the boys will love this photo." Kie said mocking me from the safety of her house.

"Oh I'm certain they will. Apparently JJ finds my anger hot." Kie and I laughed slightly as I flattened out my blazer.

"All the boys find you hot, Xena."

"It's cause I'm fresh bait, you on the other hand are the reason for the 'no Pogue on Pogue macking' rule." I pulled my hair up into a high ponytail before sliding my dress shoes on.

"I mean, you're not wrong." Kie pointed out.

"You know I mean you're smoking." I shouted as I slipped out of my room to go grab my toothbrush.

"No I'm not! I'm about to brush my teeth!" I facepalmed as I came back into the room and grabbed my phone.

"Sometimes I want to strangle you." I voiced out before continuing to brush my teeth.

"That's hot." I rolled my eyes. Kie has no filter. I spit out my toothpaste and cleaned out the sink.

"Alright, I need to go grab breakfast then take off for the Kook Academy." I informed as I set my toothbrush back and wiped my face.

"Alrighty. Best of luck on your first day of the Academy." Kie wished.

"Thanks. Tell the boys I say hello. Have a good first day." Once we exchanged our goodbyes I grabbed my backpack from my room and hopped down the stairs to go and grab a shake and protein bar for breakfast.

"I'm leaving, Xena. If you're ready you can come with."

"I'm good, Ma. I've got time." I informed her as I sat down at a barstool and cracked open the protein shake.

"Alright. I'll see you in class." She waved before disappearing out the garage door.

I sat around the house singing to music and eating my breakfast for the next thirty minutes. At a certain point I had become too antsy and decided I needed to go.

Pogies :)

Taking off for the Kook Academy. Wish me luck.

Good luck, Xena! - Pope

It's those damn kooks who are lucky. - JJ

I guess Kie shared the photo?

Yeah, JJ spewed his water all over the Twinkie. - Kie

Still mad. - John B

It's literally not my fault. - JJ

I told you, Xena. - Kie

Shush, Kie.

What did you tell her? - John B

None of your business, boys. - Kie

I've got to go. I'll send updates.

Nice swerve, Xena. Don't worry. We'll be here. - Pope

Yeah. We'll be waiting. - JJ

I laughed at the boys and shut my phone down as I proceeded to get my riding gear on.

"I can't wait for the pants." I grumbled under my breath as I swung over the bike and shut the garage before taking off towards the Academy.

Driving was nice because I got to clear my head, but as soon as I pulled up to the opened gates a felt the scowl return to my face.

I had to give myself a pep-talk to drive in past the gates, once I did, I knew there was no going back. I was throughly shocked that the parking lot was nearly full being that we still had thirty minutes until first bell.

I guess Kooks drive too many cars and have to race for spots.

I wasn't shocked though that when I pulled up, I had everyone's attention. And I mean everyone's.

"Wow."

"Who's the new girl?"

"Hmph, who wears a skirt on a motorcycle?"

"I call dibs."

"Dibs."

"I saw her first."

"Shit, that's hot."

"You think she's friendly?"

I rolled my eyes as I gently took my helmet off then fluffed my hair to avoid having helmet hair.

"Dude, he just fainted."

"She's actually really pretty."

"No actual way."

I began to lock up my bike under the whispers and the stares. My hands shaking slightly yet every movement of mine was calculated and confident.

"You've got to be kidding me."

A scowl came to my face as I slowly rose from locking the front tire with the cable. Before I turned around, I set a smile on my lips playing innocent.

"I beg your pardon?" I asked the dirty blonde who scowled down at me. His arms crossed as his posse began to form behind him.

"Yo, what's up X?" I glanced to Rafe's left and saw Kelce completely oblivious to the situation.

"Hey, Kelce. Doing good. How's it going, you coming to the gym tomorrow?" I directed my focus to Kelce knowing it would piss off the Kook Prince in front of me.

"Who let your Pogue ass in here?" Rafe cut Kelce off just as he went to answer.

"The school board, obviously. Next question." I smile forcing the smirk away as I held onto my backpack. That was not the reaction he wanted.

"Listen here, this is my territory. You step a foot out of line-" I cut him off by casually taking a step forwards to be closer to him. His nostrils flaring as his jaw clenched.

I popped up on my tippy toes to whisper close to his ear.

"Oops." I mocked before taking a step back and moving around the small posse. "Hey, Rafe. The names Xena. You're gonna want to know it." I shouted over my shoulder as I walked past the throng of students and into the school building.

I went straight to the office and picked up my schedule. The secretary and I saying no more words then necessary.

"First bell is at 9." I nodded as I grabbed the blue piece of paper.

"Thanks." I began to exit out of the office. Before I left I turned back around with a smile, "have a good day." The smile turned into a smirk as I got her off guard.

She was stuttering out a response but I had already left. This might be easier than I thought. Especially if the Prince himself kept coming to me.

Pogies :)

I've already got my name going around. Rafe already confronted me before school started. This shit is going to be easy.
