Chapter 2 | Avoiding him

Chapter 2

Once i got home I ran upstairs to my room and blasted some music to drown out the sound of the yelling coming from below. I changed into some black spandex shorts and a sky blue sports bra. I did my daily routine of 75 squats. 50 push-ups and sit-ups and I did some stretching to help prepare me for conditioning in dance tomorrow. Every Monday in dance we do conditioning so I decided to start stretching on Sunday nights. I grabbed a water bottle from the mini fridge by my bed and plopped onto my waterbed. I sat there scrolling through my social media and texting my best friend Andrea about what happened today with Zak. It's not that it's a big deal or anything but I always tell her everything that happens.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Ugh stupid alarm. I got up after hitting snooze a good 5 times. I was still in my workout clothes so I must have fallen asleep like that. I picked out my outfit which was just a pair of light washed skinny jeans with some rips in them and matched it with a light blue plain t-shirt and my white converse. I jumped in the shower, got dressed and brushed my teeth. I straightened my hair and threw on some mascara deciding not to put anything else on. I grabbed my bag, throwing it over my shoulder, making sure I had my wallet, keys and phone. On the weekdays I walked to school because I lived only a few blocks away and it was good exercise. I have my own car but why waste gas. I ran downstairs to see my dad was passed out on the couch. I guess he never went to bed. I grabbed a blanket from the hall closet and covered him up. I kissed his forehead and left for school. Even though I hate that my dads an alcoholic. He works hard to keep what we have and he tries his best to take care of me, well what he thinks is his best. I know he's just lonely and hurt by what my mom has done to us.

It was the period before lunch, I was at my locker which just so happens to be next to my best friend. She comes walking towards me and I wrap her into the biggest hug. She has been with me through everything. I don't even think "best friend" is strong enough to describe us. "Hey, how is everything at the homestead?" She asks. "It was bearable actually." I say with a slight chuckle. We grab our English books and laptops. We make our way across the campus to English, I have this class with the 3 extremely attractive yet repulsive boys from yesterday. They usually are never here so I don't really see them. We walk in laughing at some inside joke we have, when I bump into a hard chest. "Sweet cheeks?" Says a very familiar guy with a husky, very sexy voice. Zak... I hate that he calls me that, I don't even get why. I back away and look up at him. "Seriously? Why do you call me that?" I ask him with a bored, angry tone. "See even though you act so tough, you blush a lot" he shrugs. Which of course causes my checks to heat up. My eyes travel over his shoulder to all the girls giving me death glares and the guys with smirks on their faces. Eavesdrop much? Geez people have no lives. I push around him so he's now in the hallway and I roll my eyes as I make way to me seat in the back of the room, Andrea following me. "Well that was quite the show." She laughs. "He's so annoying. Honestly just because he's good looking, and his daddy is rich doesn't mean he has to act like a spoiled brat who owns the place." I rant. "Woah, Naveah he really has you worked up! I think someone has a crush." She winks at me. "Shut it. He's a complete ass." I say. I mean I've never really talked to him. I'm attracted to him I can admit that. I like how he handles himself. But that doesn't mean I like him or approve of his attitude. She just rolls her eyes at me and we both take out our laptops to start working on our paper due in a couple days.

Lunch has finally rolled it's way around and I'm talking to Andrea when I see Zak and his crew walk through the door and make their way to their usual table in the back of the cafeteria. I don't understand why they always had such an annoyed, pissed look on their faces... I think Zak caught me staring because he looked right at me and winked. Of course he did! I blushed and looked away. I never ever used to blush, why am I now!!? I looked back over to where he was and he was looking at me with a smirk. I got up and walked out of the cafeteria. I don't know why but he made me so mad, and uncomfortable.

I was walking home with my headphones in, well only one headphone that way I could still hear if someone came up behind me or something like that.
I was listening to achievement by g-eazy. Me and Andrea were actually going to one of his concerts in San Fransisco this summer. We live in riverside, California so it's not that far of a drive. I heard a car slow down beside me and at first I freaked out because I didn't feel like being kidnapped. I look over and it's only Zak... in a Chevy K-10 Blazer. Are you kidding me? That is my dream truck! It's such an old truck that if it breaks down, its hard to get parts for it. But of course him being a spoiled rich kid, I'm sure daddy could afford it. "Hey, sweet cheeks. Do you want a ride?" If he wasn't such an idiot, I'm sure I would've jumped at that offer. "Not with you I don't." I retort. "Oh come on its about to rain." He replied. I look up and sure enough storm clouds are brewing above. Really? Now? Of all times it has to be when the biggest asshole wants to drive me home. I had on my good white converse so them getting wet would kind of suck. "K fine." I told him where I lived and got in the truck. He speeds off and the ride is filled with an awkward silence. Where is his motorcycle? Why did he want to drive me? He doesn't even live this way so why was he driving over here? I decide to make conversation because I cant stand this tension. "You know you're driving my dream truck?" I simply say. "You know what else we could do in your dream truck?" He says with a smirk. A very hot smirk I should say. "You would say that. Seriously why do you think that every girl wants you?" "Well sweet cheeks, why wouldn't every girl want me? Hell even guys want me. But I don't swing that way." I roll my eyes and look out my window. He pulls into my driveway and I open the door and slam it shut as I get out. "Did I piss you off sweet cheeks" Zak yells. "Yeah you tend to do that" I turn around so I'm facing the truck. "Sorry babe, see you around." Babe? What? Jeez the nerve in this guy.
