How To Find Your Future

17 - Wattpad Bad Boys and Lives

I grin as Olivia makes her way down the school steps. Her eyes slide across the parking lot until they find me. Her eyes light up and she smiles. As she gets closer I uncross my legs and push myself off my car. I may be the loser of the school but I can't resist doing the bad boy leaning against his car while waiting for a girl thing. I mean, is it not what every bad boy in a wattpad book does?

"Hey," she says when she stops in front of me.

"Hi." I cringe. I couldn't even stick with the bad boy personality and say hey too?

"So, this is your car?"

"It's my dad's, but he's letting us borrow it for our hunting." I really can't seem to come off as cool today.

She nods. "I like it."

I grin. "Well, should we get a move on then?"

She nods and goes to walk around the car, the backway. I go around the front and beat her to the passenger door. She raises an eyebrow before I can do anything. "What are you doing?" she asks.

I lean over and grab the door handle and pull it as my answer. "After you, m'lady," I say with a little bow.

Olivia glances around the parking lot, her face has a tinge of red to it on her cheeks. But she ducks her head and gets in.

"You settled?" I ask.

She nods and I close the door before making my way over to the driver's side. I hop in, close the door, settle in and start it. As I reverse out of the parking spot I gesture to the radio. "You can change it to whatever you'd like."

"Really?"

I nod.

Out of the corner of my eye I see her reach out for the button and start to click it. The radio goes from a guy talking about the weather to static to silence and snippets of songs and talking as she changes the station. I turn the corner as she stops pressing the button and sits back.

The song Enemy by Imagine Dragons blasts through the car.

I nod my head in approval. "You're a fan of Imagine Dragons?" I ask.

"Yep. They've got some pretty good songs."

"Which is your favorite?"

"As of right now? This one, but Believer is a close second."

"Some good choices."

"What's yours?"

"Radioactive."

She laughs. "Of course it is."

I raise an eyebrow. "What's that supposed to mean?"

She laughs. "Nothing."

I hum. "Sure. If you say so."

She chuckles. "It is." She turns and looks out the window. A moment passes where it's just the radio making sound. "Where are we going, anyways?" She turns her head and faces me.

"Well, today we're going to be shadowing a nurse."

I bring the car to a stop as the light turns red.

"Really? They'll let us do that?"

I nod. "Yep. Some of it at least."

"Will we get to see some of the emergency rooms? Or a surgery?"

I chuckle. "We don't have that much clearance. Plus, they wouldn't show some of that to some random kids."

"Don't we have an appointment?"
