Hard To Get

Chapter 4 - The bad boy is nice

Chapter 4

Beep beep. Beep beep. Beep beep.

'Damn that clock.' I muttered under my breath then forced myself to get up. A fact about me, is I am not a morning person. I'd slap the shit out of the one who'll ruin my sleep on a weekend. Because hey, you only get 2 days for a weekend and that isn't enough. But anyway, I went straight to the bathroom and did my business. I decided to wear something cute - I wore my tulle skirt that reached just above my knees. It did looked good on me actually.

I grabbed my backpack and went down. I was too lazy to eat sonething cooked, so I just got an apple and went straight outside.

"Bye my lovely mother!" I yelled sweetly.

"Drive safe, honey!" She yelled back.

The day kicked in so quick, that I found myself talking to Xander by the lockers again. I don't know why Juliette leaves me every time Xander has to come near us. And so again, Xander does his charm power that doesn't affect me at all. His hands were stuffed on his pockets and his shoulders were leaning on the lockers. By the pressure he's creating on his shoulders, I can tell - his muscles were forming. It made me look at it; it looked so stiff and hard. But soft at the same time.

'What the hell are you doing Mia?!?!'

'Nothing'

'No that was nothing. You were checking him out.'

This thing in my head was talking again. I hate her.

"I have a party this Friday night." Xander started.

"And?" I said straight back, crossing my arms.

"Everyone's invited. You can go and bring your friend - Juliette. And..." He trailed off then scratched the back of his head.

"And?"

"You know, we can talk there and get to know each other." He wiggled his eyebrows.

"We don't have to. I know what kind of person you are already."

"Prove it, Diarmuid."

"You're a pl-"

"A player, huh?"

"Yup."

"How are you so sure about it?" He squinted his eyes and his face turned to a serious one. And do I have to tell him? He already knows what he is doing all the time! I slapped my forehead then groaned, he is really about to annoy me right now.

"You were making out with Tifanny a while ago, flirted with that girl named 'Jane', and I saw you wink at Juliette a while ago which made her go away from my side." I stated.

"Mmmm." He pursed his lips then nodded slowly. "Hey are you stalking me?!" His eyes widened then his finger was pointing at me.

"What? NO!" This boy is really annoying the shit out of me. I stomped down the hallway then to the exit. I heard someone's footsteps following me. I thought it was just another student going home the exact same time as me. But as I turned around-

Shit.

Xander.

I rushed to my car then pushed the unlock button on the remote.

"Hey you're that hot chic with the badass car everyone was talking about!" His surpised voice made me stop on my tracks and made me jump. I am really annoyed right now that my fists want to make contact with his nose right now.

"Yes, Xander." I said, then got in my car. He kept following me. This time, his arm was leaning on the hood of my car and his left hand was knocking on my window. I pushed the window down, revealing a sad Xander.

"What do you want from me?!" My voice was almost screaming. I groaned in annoyance so he can realize how much he's annoying me right now.

"You look so cute when you're mad." He said and chuckled. It made me went soft but he is still annoying me. He realized how annoyed I was then continued, "Oh, can you drive to McDonald's?" He was pouting his lips and his eyes were a little bit bigger. He looked like a puppy.

"What? You have a car, Xander! What the hell!"

"But- but, I w-want to ride in... in a C-camarowwww." He was acting like he was a little kid this time.

"Grow a dick please." I was now settin my window up.

"Wait wait, Mia! I already have one! And it's long! Wait wait wait please just hear me out!" He said fastly then tapped my window. I let it down again and looked at him.

"You disgust me."

"But please this will be the last time I ask for a ride to MD's. I haven't eaten lunch yet."

'It's just a ride to McDonald's, Mia. Drop him off to McDonald's then you can go home. If he ever does something wrong, kick him on his crotch, and while he curls in pain, aim for the nose.'

Okay you win again, person who's speaking in my head.

"Fine." I said, and in just a matter of second, he was inside my car. I could see that his eyes were studying the interior fearures of ny car. It made me laugh actually, he looked cute. His dimples were popping out, and when his lips would form an 'o' shape, his cheek bones will reveal itself. I shook my head then zoomed to McDonald's.

It was a silent drive. I reached ny hand out to turn the radio on. I didn't realize Xander's hand were out too. So our hands touched, there was a sudden shock that flowed from my hand to my spine. It was awkward for a moment, but he stopped it.

"I'll turn it on. Focus on the road." He said. And he did. One Direction was playing on the radio. Most guys would be annoyed, but he wasn't. I'm not a fan of 1D either but, I like their songs. It's catchy.

"Baby just shout it out, shout it out!

Baby just shout it out yeah!..." Xander sang in a bad voice. It made me laugh and hold on to my stomach. Good thing the traffic light was at red. I sang with him then we both laughed along. I think it was fun hanging out with Xander though.

We reached McDonald's and I went in the drive through. He ordered his food, then I ordered fries. When we received our food, I reached for my wallet and Xander did as well. He saw me pull out a dollar, but he pushed my hand back, making the money go back to my wallet.

"I'll pay for it."

"Hell yeah you will, and I will pay for my-"

"Mia." He cut me off. "It's my treat. I annoyed the hell out of you to drive me here. So I'll pay for it. End of story." He said then I raised my hands as if I was surrendering.

"Fine." I said.

"That will be 7 dollars, ma'am." The girl that reached out our food said. As everything was done, I started driving.

"Hey where's your car by the way?" I asked him while I was chewing on fries.

"Parked in school." He was biting his cheeseburger like a kis. He really looked hungry, maybe he didn't really ate lunch a while ago.

"I'll drop you off to school and go back to your car, alright?"

"Okay." He said. He answered like a kid since he was enjoying his burger so much.

As I reached school Parker thanked me for the ride with sincere eyes. Then I also thanked him for the treat.

"Where's your car?"

"There the blac one." He pointed where it was. Then I unlocked my car.

"A Cadillac ATS?!" I said sounding happy. Xander was amused by the way I acted.

"Yup. It was a gift."

"Nice."

Before he shut the door, he said his last words.

"Thanks again for today, Diarmuid."

"Sure." I said then waved goodbye. I started driving then looked at the side mirror, I saw him waved and smiled.

He isn't much of a bad boy actually. But I think he's my friend now.

The bad boy is nice.
