Hard To Get

Chapter 14 - Bad boy to the rescue

I think I 50% regret doing the modeling thing, and 50% not regretting it, because my life as a normal high school lady, turned out to be a mess. Everyone would look at me every time I pass at the hallway, or probably bitch out on me and tell how bad the cover was. Some students will find a way to get close to me just because they saw me in a magazine, and some can't just shut up about it.

"Your life is about to be a mess, darling." Juliette said, reading an article on the magazine I was in while I was madly shoving books in my locker.

"Can you please move that away from me? It's pissing me off. And why would it be a mess?" I stated, then we walked through the halls.

"I won't. There are things here that you don't know. You see, here's an article about you." She said then handed me the magazine. The picture was me on the road, and it had an article on the side that said:

MIANELLE VICTORIA DIARMUID, (17)

•As being the billionaire's only daughter, Mianelle is also an inspiration soon-to-be one of the successful models that can be one of the most-outsanding. Editor-in-chief, Larissa King admits that she was very easy to work with, and stated out, "She was very, very nice to work with. Everything I, or what the photographer will say upon on how she'll pose, she just does it in a second and surprises us with more of her magic. I think this kind of thing suits her, but I'll set her free in what she wants to do best. If she doesn't enjoy this, then I can let her go, but if she does, the future is right here, honey."

•Hollywood actors like Logan Lerman, Bella Thorne, and Saoirse Ronan says that maybe she can be fun to work with if she has that magic on camera. Director Michael Bay also may want to offer her a position on his upcoming movie, to be released at 2014. Now we all know, Mianelle has a bright, big future. And guys, she's still single!

My eyes were filled with excitement and nervousness at the same time. Logan Lerman, planning to work with me? Well, who am I going to be? A friend of Annabeth in Percy Jackson? And Saoirse Ronan as well, who can I be? Another pet/wanderer for The Host? Wow. This is unbelievable, and weird at the same time. It was dismissal time, meaning the school was over. Juliette and I were walking on the parking lot. I'm in charge to take her home since Flynn is busy having a test inside. But before we got in my car, I saw Tiffany with her group - Jane and Mandy. To me, they look like the 'Mean Girls'. Except Regina George is too beautiful to be Tiffany. Anyway, the three of then were leaning at the hood of my car, and the three of them had their arms crossed. What the hell are their problems? When I pressed the unlock button, Tiffany raised her hand - straightly. And in seconds, men with camera's flashing came out of nowhere. The flash were blinding my eyes. I looked at Tiffany and she did an evil smirk and mouthed the words "You're welcome!" And walked out. The paparazzi's were blocking my way, that it made me distance to my car. I can't even make a step because of them, blocking my way. They also kept asking questions like: "How does it feel to be the billionaire's daughter and a soon-to-be model at the same time?" or, "Are you dating someone right now?" or, "Do you plan on being an actress soon?", etc., it made me sick that I want to destroy each other's camera and smash them on the ground. But now, I am trapped with flashing cameras. Until someone slung their arm on my shoulder, and buried my face on their chest and walked through the flashing crowd to my car.

"Give her space, please!" He said. His chest was hard, but warm at the same time. "Juliette, stay at the back I'll drive." He added. And in a second, I was sitted on the passenger's seat of my car and Juliette was rubbing my shoulders, trying to comfort me. I looked at the door open on the driver's seat - revealing Xander. Wow, he did that for me? Awesome. Xander quickly started the engine and honked the horn to the paparazzi's to swerve out of the way. He sped down the road. And we were there in silence until we reached Juliette's house. It was also silent when it was me and Xander in the car. But I had to break it.

"Thank you, Xander." I said, looking at him, but he was focusing on the road.

"You're welcome." He said.

It was a silent drive. Until Xander reached my place.

"Thank you for being there, always." I said, then hugged him. He hugged me back then patted my back. It felt good, in a friendly way. I went inside then told the chauffer to drive Xander home.

Xander is just too nice sometimes that it makes me want to stab myself with the affection he's putting on me. But will I really give him a chance? I am just not that sure about having a relationship with a bad boy again.
