Hard To Get

Chapter 11 - Please give me a chance?

This week was hell. Despite of being in school, or as you call it 'hell hole', which already was hell. Being with Xander every second was another hell drama. Ever since he did the 'confession' at lunch, he started flirting with me, which annoyed the hell out of me. Who cares how handsome he can get when he flirts? He is definitely annoying. I know I am giving too much shit about this, but who wants a distraction in AP Chemistry? And I know as well that he does look like a sex god, and any girl would fall for his charm, but I? I AM NOT.

But today is Friday, which means the school week is finally over, and a 2-day freedom is coming. But Xander, just leaves me problems on a Friday.

"Hey you wanna come by my house tomorrow?" Xander whispered, while we were on AP Chemistry class.

"What the-? No." I whispered back.

"Juliette and Flynn will be there."

"No."

"We'll have pizza."

"No."

"Please?"

"N-" And just as I finish a word, Mr. Fletcher cut me off by saying, "Ms. Diarmuid, and Mr. Parker." He said, making the students awaken since it was about Xander. "Since you two have a lot of things to talk about, why don't you share it to the class?" He added.

Great! Just- great! I can't tell tell the whole class what we were talking about! Well, yeah we need something to cover that up.

"I-uh... I" I said, I was out of words and everyone was staring at me, like I'd give a fuck about what they were doing. But in seconds, Xander spoke up.

"Mia was teaching me to solve the lesson you were discussing." He said, then continued. "Um, here. Is it right?" He added, then handed Mr. Fletcher a piece of paper with writings. Is he serious? What if it was a faux? Or what if he did solve something but the answer was wrong? Mr. Fletcher may tell the class that I was wrong or I was a shithead, a fooll or-

"Great job, Ms. Diarmuid!" Mr. Fletcher yelled in surprise as I looked at Xander. "And as a result, you'll be lab partners with Mr. Parker!" He said with enthusiasm.

"Hooray." I said sarcastically, letting Xander notice that I was not that satisfied.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Fletcher." Xander said. Then Mr. Fletcher went back to discussing.

In 20 minutes, he was done discussing. But althrough his discussion, I wasn't listening. But my mind was thinking of ridiculous things like strangling Xander at lunch.

Then when it was lunch, he even sat beside me! How awful.

"Is there something about you two mind us telling about?" Flynn said, chewing on his food. I stared at him for seconds, then shook my head. Xander on the other hand, sat closer beside me, making our shoulders touch, giving those tingles that force to go down my spine. I tried to sit on other chairs beside us, but Xander follows. Until I didn't noticed that I already sat on the last chair of the table. I sat on the air, that I assumed a chair, then fastly falling on the ground until-

"Gotcha." Xander said, gripping my arm that prevented my butt from hitting the hard surface of the floor. His eyes filled with concern and boast at the same time, and his lips were forming a huge smirk. My eyes searched the room, and I saw everyone staring at us. In a moment, we were famous for a minute. "You better be careful falling for me, babe." Xander added. Falling for him? In his dreams, sucker. I scoffed at his thought then let go off of Xander's grip, and got up.

"I will never, asshole." I said then sat beside Juliette, taking a big gulp of my drink.

"We'll see, Diarmuid. We'll see." Xander said, then winked.

"So I now see what's going on here." Flynn said, then looked at Juliette. They both laughed then made another make out session. This is just great! I am sitting this close to a person making out with someone, what a nice gesture. I looked at them with confused eyes, and my eyebrows almost uniting.

"You wanna?" Xander pointed at what the couple were doing then looked back at me, making smooching gestures by his lips, then bit the bottom. I admit, he did look hot doing it. But, psh. No way!

"Fuck you, Parker." I said then stomped out of the cafeteria.

I went straight to my locker then shoved everything I needed in my bag. And just as I shut my locker, Xander's face popped from behind making me 50% startled, and 50% annoyed.

"Hey there, beautiful." Xander said with a smirk. I ignored him then walked away, he followed me of course.

"Hey wait!" He said, but I wasn't stopping from walking fast. "Hey, Mia." He talked again, then stopped me from gripping my arm. I shook it off, then looked at him with fierced eyes.

"What the hell do you want from me?!" I said.

"I'm sorry."

"Oh, so you are sorry now?"

"Very, sorry. And I really like you, Mia. Please give me a chance?" He said, then his eyes filled with sadness, telling me to say yes. My hands cupped his cheeks, then I did the same way how his eyes were, I inched closer to him, making an effect where our breaths can be felt. I leaned closer to his ear. And in seconds, my hands gripped his collar and I shouted right at his right ear, "I WILL NEVER, PARKER!" Then walked out of the hallway. Good thing, the students were in the cafeteria, or else they may be witnessing this. I really will never, unless, except, he changes.
