The New Boy

Chapter 14

"He's gonna kill me isn't he?"

"If you want the truth, yes, he probably will" Allison ran to her mirror and started fixing her hair.

"Well I could go through the window?" I suggested.

"My dad would see you, he has a sixth sense for boyfriends"

"So I'm your boyfriend?" I raised my eyebrow with a smile.

She threw me a glare, "Are you seriously asking me that question right now?!" She hissed.

"Allison?" The voice came again, "I'm coming up"

I heard footsteps going along the top floor and I started to panic. I was actually going to die, literally die.

"It's okay" Allison reassured me, cupping my face in her hands gently. "We were just studying. No touching at all"

"Right, no touching, because he's never gonna believe that one" I mumbled.

"If you want to be my boyfriend you've got to wade through this" she explained quietly, "unless you don't want to be m-"

I cut her off with a soft kiss that made her push up against my chest again. Of course it was short lived because of the loud knock at the door, Allison and I burst apart. She bounded to her bedroom door and swung it open to reveal a tall, serious looking man with a look of sinister confusion on his face. 

"Allison, sweetheart, who is this?" he asked darkly, stepping past my squirming girlfriend and squaring up to me. 

"Dad. This is Scott" she circled around her father so she was standing next to me, her arm wrapped around my bicep protectively as if she was afraid I would fall apart any moment. I reached out my hand politely and he hesitated before gripping it and giving me a rough shake. 

"Scott?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

 "Yes, uh, Sir. Scott Adams" I answered sheepishly. 

"And what are you doing here Scott?" he took a step closer. I could tell he was trying as hard as he could to keep calm. 

"Well, Allison and I were studying Eng-" I started but I felt Allison's hand tighten around me as she cut me off.

"Scott is my boyfriend" she blurted. 

I threw her a panicked glance as my jaw dropped, I could of been more subtle about it I agree but she explicitly said that he was going to kill me. Personally I like being alive. Mr Argent, now growing more and more aggravated by my existence, turned his attention to Allison. 

"Allison, can I speak to you in my office" he shot me a glare, "Where I keep my guns" 

She nodded and released her hold on me, "Go downstairs" she mumbled before walking out of the room with her father.

Once they'd disappeared I let out a relieved groan and ambled out of Allison's room as quickly as I could and fled downstairs to the front door. I heard a clammer from upstairs and I gulped nervously, I pulled out my phone and dialed the best person I could think of to pick me up. 

"Hey Scott, I thought you were with Allison?" Dylan said down the other line, I heard the sound of guns and shouting, obviously coming from his playstation. 

"You gotta pick me up" 

"Why? Trouble in paradise?" he chuckled. 

"Her dad showed up and I think he's going to kill me" 

"Okay, big trouble. I'll come get you now" he said before hanging up. 

I turned to see Allison strolling down the stairs looking rather pleased with herself, she had a slight smile on her face as she approached me victoriously. 

"Am I dead?" 

"Not in the least" she giggled, "but he's a little mad that we weren't really studying" 

"You told him?!" 

"He guessed" she pointed out, "Anyways, it's okay, it's not like I'm a total prude, I've done worse. I'm best friends with Lydia Roden for God's sake" 

"So you do this a lot?" I asked, raising my eyebrow. I didn't exactly think she was some sort of untouchable, but I didn't know she'd done worse. Not that I hadn't, Kat and I did worse in five seconds flat and it felt wrong to judge Allison on what she's done with a guy. I wasn't even sure why I wanted her to be a virgin. I pushed the thought from my mind as quickly as I could when I heard the familiar sound of Dylan's blue Roscoe Jeep, "I should go, Dylan's outside and I shouldn't keep him from whatever important thing he was doing before I called" 

"Oh okay" she replied, her expression changing to confusion. 

My mood hasn't taken such a rapid nose dive since I was four years old, I was being immature and acting stupid. She probably thought I was crazy, and she clearly noticed the emotional swing after she brought up her past love lives. 

"I'll see you at school" I sighed, kissing her on the cheek and slipping through the door. 

"Scotty! What took you?" Dylan leant out the window of his car as I walked down the drive. 

"Sorry, we had a weird moment... Well, I had a weird moment" I muttered, climbing into the passenger seat.

"Weird moment?" he raised an eyebrow and pulled out of Allison's driveway. 

"Really weird"

"Really weird?" 

"Really... Really weird" I repeated.

"So tell me what happened" 

"Well, we were talking by the door, after her dad saw me and we were talking about how she told her dad that we weren't actually studying" I explained.

"She told her dad?! That's like signing your death warrant" he laughed. 

"Yeah and then she basically up and said she wasn't a virgin" 

"Allison Argent is definitely a virgin, trust me, she's dated one guy other than you, his name was Isaac Lahey but the dude went to boarding school in France and dumped her" 

"And they didn't..." 

"Hell no! She's like Snow White or something. Pure and innocent. All that stuff. Basically she wanted to save herself or something and that's why Isaac didn't want to do a 'long distance' relationship. She was kinda heartbroken and she didn't date anyone else for the rest of sophomore year... Until she meant you obviously" he sighed, then he shook his head quickly and laughed again, "Why do you even care if she is or not? You aren't, and from what I hear about this Katherine girl, you did way worse than just loose you're V-card"

"Did you just call it a V-card?" I smirked.

"Shut up dude" he grinned, "It's the truth"

"I don't know why it bothered me okay!" I laughed, "I guess I don't know much about being in love... The only other relationship I've been in was compulsive, impulsive and altogether in the heat of the moment. It was wild and I didn't even know the difference between love and drive half of the time" 

"And it's different with Allison?" 

I nodded slowly, "Completely different. Allison is warm and kind and passionate about the people she loves... And when I'm with her, I can honestly forget what I used to be like"

"After one date? Wow, sounds like love at first sight" 

"I don't believe in that stuff" I scoffed, looking at him.

"Maybe Allison does..."
