The Quiet Girl Knows How To Live

Ch.4 Dylan

School was almost over. Over in a week. Everyone was excited and I just felt pumped! This summer was going to be amazing I could feel it in my bones.

Jill snapped me out of my thoughts by snapping her fingers in my face. "Did ya hear me?" She asked already knowing the answer.

I shook my head "sorry I zoned out. What were you saying?"

"I said that we are totally going to the dance this Friday." she told me excited

I groaned "Do we really have to? I was just planning on going to the new club downtown."

"Noo, come on we haven't been to a dance all year" she pleaded

"We went to the Halloween dance." I shivered at the memories of half naked girls. But smirked at the thought of the hot guys in their costume.

"Stop thinking about the hot guys from that dance! I really wanna go to this one!" Jill said

"Ugh okay fine. But I'm not wearing a dress."

"Damn it!" She joked

The bell before the late bell rang and we went our ways to third period.
While walking to my class I was looking for my phone in my backpack. Saying I was struggling is an understatement.
Taking short glances up so I wouldn't bump into anyone.

"Hey El !" I heard a familiar male voice say a couple feet in front of me. I looked up to see that it was Braylin.

"Oh gosh, what do you want?" I asked

"Damn babe, not even a 'I missed you'?"

"No. I need to get to class." I said and decided to forget about my phone.

"So do I so when are we going to start the project?" He put a hand out in front of me to stop me from walking

Oh crap..the project. "Um I'm not sure maybe tomorrow?"

"How about today?" He gave me a smirk that seemed like trouble..

"No I'm busy today." I told him and started walking away. But I felt a strong hand pull me back by the wrist before I could get anywhere far.

Suddenly I was pushed against the wall and caved in by muscular arms. I realized that Braylin did this.

Well that escalated quickly

I felt anger rising in me and tried to hold it back but once I saw that stupid smirk on his face I couldn't help it.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" I exclaimed

He looked shocked at my very sudden outburst but I could care less with him. I was getting late to class.

He smirked even wider and said something utterly stupid. "Did my babe, innocent and quiet babe, just say hell?"

I groaned and tried to push his arms against the wall away from my head. But he wouldn't budge. So I did the next thing I could think of. I knelt down a tad bit and went underneath his arms, escaping successfully.

I quickly stepped a few feet away from him and examined him. He was wearing a black t-shirt that looked loose enough for him to breath but tight enough to show his toned body.

Ew stop this Elena

"You done checking me out?" He said with a smirk.

I scoffed and just turned away, continuing to walk to my class

"I'll see you in Physics !" I heard him yell just as the bell rang.

Yay, I'm late...again

It was now lunch and it was Jill's turn to get the food. I was sitting at our usual table playing Temple Run on my phone. Gosh I lost againnnn, I almost cried out physically. Luckily Jill came with our food, but with a big smile on her face.

I raised a brow "What's up with you?"

She gave me an even wider smile, if that was even possible, and said "Ohh nothing except that a really cute guy asked for my number."

"Ouuu who was he?" I asked while smirking

"You know Dylan, from physics class. Yeah he's so dreamy." she told me

"Ohh yeah the blondie. Yeah he's okay."

She looked at me like I was crazy "Just okay?! What the hell your so oblivious, he's hot. But that's not the only reason why I gave him my number."

Dylan. Blondie. Blue eyes and really cute!! Oh my how could I forget how much Jill would talk about him.

I gave her a look and than it dawned on me. "Oh. My. Gosh. Dylan from 9th grade?! Your long time crush?!"

A slight blush crept onto her cheeks and she smiled. "Yeah, but I didn't like him in 10th grade!"

"Ha! Yeah right. You've always liked him. Oh my god..you two are partners for the project!!" I remembered.

Her smile fell. "Do you think that's the reason he asked for my number?"

Ohh. "Of course not. I don't think so. No it can't be." I tried to reason but she just silently ate her food.

I only knew one way to cheer her up. "Listen...for the dance, I won't wear a dress but... I'll let you do my hair."

She looked at me a little brighter and smiled "Can I do your makeup for once too!"

After thinking about it I agreed. "Okay but you cannot go overboard! If you do... I'll murder you." I threatened jokingly

"Nooo!" She said while getting up

I got up too, ready to dump our trays. While walking to the bathroom I felt eyes on me. Jill was a little ahead and I tried to catch up, but saw that Dylan was talking to her.

Still feeling eyes burning into my back I quickly walked into the girls bathroom.

What-who the hell was looking at me?!
I'm pretty sure I already know...
