Revenge of a Bad Boy

“Oh my god I’m sooo tired why does school have to be on a Monday?” Lilly whined

“Because even if they changed it to Tuesday you would still complain but instead of Monday it would be Tuesday. Any more questions?”

“No. But seriously this boring you have to admit that Leah even you can’t enjoy school first thing on a Monday morning.”

“No I don’t but I’m not gonna whine like a 5 year old. Just think in seven hours it will all be over”

“Yeah until tomorrow.” She rolled her eyes at me as we trudged to the lockers and put our bags away.

“Hey you were complaining about to day I wasn’t paid to be a counsellor for Tuesday”

“Shame I could really use your ‘positive’ attitude”

“Oh well you’ll just have to survive a bit longer” She looked at me like I’d condemned her to death although I suppose for Lilly school is death. Ironically I never found school that bad I mean all you had to do was stay out of sight and keep to yourself hence why my only friend is Lilly.

Lilly’s been my friend forever though so she gets why I a loner. I don’t like people. It’s not like I have parental issues or anything but ever since I remember people scare me especially boys. I can’t talk to them for the life of me. So instead of being your normal high schooler prancing around with friends, not doing homework, going to parties, etc I just stay at home and do whatever after my homework. That’s probably the reason I’m the smartest girl in the school which isn’t so bad.

As we were walking to registration we were blocked by a crowd of people who were laughing at something.

“Oi Craig! What’s happening?” Lilly called to a tall brown haired boy. He came over smiling at Lilly and then at me. Immediately I hid behind Lilly.

“Chloe and her minions are having a go Charlotte for sleeping with Dylan.”

“Not again. She does realise that Dylan isn’t her boyfriend right? I mean there have been quite clear signs surely by now she’s picked up on it”

“Apparently not. Anyway I’ve got to get to class so see you later” and with that he left.

“Come on let’s go before we get into trouble or Chloe sees us”

I followed Lilly because I really didn’t want to get into trouble and certainly not with Chloe Daniels. Chloe Daniels would best be described as miss fuck it and chuck it. She is queen bee in Preston Secondary and she will make sure you know it. I haven’t ever spoken to her before but she’s in some of my classes so I try to stay as far away as possible cause I don’t want to end up like Charlotte not that I would considering she slept with Dylan Morgan and that would never happen to me.

Eventually we made it to registration and sat in front centre away from the ‘popular’ kids at the back. Mr Drewitt came in minutes later and began taking about the announcements for the week then the registrar.

I pulled out my sketchbook as Mr Drewitt isn’t the fastest teacher and the announcements were super boring always about sports teams and teachers news. We had half an hour before the school day began which Lilly used to crash and catch some more sleep. The class was buzzing with chatter about parties and this morning’s events.  So I zoned out until I heard the class go silent as someone entered the room 20 minutes late.  Hell even Lilly woke up to stare.

It was probably someone unimportant so I didn’t look and just carried on. I was quite happen with the atmospheric change until Lilly pushed me giving me a warning look. So to avoid the risk of injury I turned and oh the joys Dylan Morgan was looking at me.

Dylan Morgan wasn’t someone I’d usually associate with myself in fact I doubt he even knows who I am however the fact that he’s just staring at me up and down in front of everyone is really not the most comforting sign.

“Mr Morgan would you like to take your seat now. We have been keeping it for you for 20 minutes now.” Mr Drewitt apparently didn’t care that it was against the school rules to be late without a note and that it should get a detention.

“Sorry sir” Dylan just walked to the back arrogantly smirking at his friends. However before he passed me he stopped and looked at my drawing. This is weird. After five seconds he continue but didn’t leave without giving me a wink. Oh dear lord.

Once Dylan was seated the class began chattering again but this time about what just happened. I really could not handle the talk about me when I hadn’t even processed it so I merely tuned it and continued drawing as Lilly just stared at me mouth agape.

“Did you see that?!”

“What?”

“That! Dylan Morgan! You! He stopped and gave you a wink!”

“Yes I saw it Lilly and would appreciate if you quietened down now” Her enthusiasm was not welcomed.

“He’s soo hot and I can’t believe he winked at you”

“Thanks”

“NO I mean you don’t talk to anyone so to believe he actually acknowledged you is amazing!”

“Look can we just forget about it I’m kinda trying to breathing and forget and you are not helping”

“Why would you want to forget? He’s totally hot I mean even you can’t deny that”

She had me there. Dylan Morgan was hot like really hot. He was at least 6ft 2 and he did a lot of street fighting apparently so he was fit. He is also American so his accent is nice to hear amongst the stiffness of British. However he ruined himself by knowing he was fit. He was the biggest player and only wanted to get into a girl’s pants. Plus he’s a criminal. He’s been in jail more times than he should but due to being a rich kid he gets out of it and therefore wears the records as medals.  So did I want to forget? Yes I really do before his ‘girlfriend’ Chloe gets wind off it.

Despite the awkward discussion with Lilly registration was thankfully over quickly so I could get to my English class. Everyone began leaving the room including Mr Drewitt whilst I packed up my drawings and stuff.

“You’re a good artist. Perhaps you might want to sketch me sometime?” A deep voice broke the silence causing me to flinch and I can just tell who it was and that he was walking towards me. I quickly turned around and held onto the seat behind me as he neared.

“What no words? Don’t you want to talk to me? Or would you rather do something else to express your feelings?” He wiggled his eyebrows and smirked as he came closer.  Yes man-whore I’d like to punch you however luckily for you I have a perfect record and am terrified of you so lucky escape.

Whilst having my internal conversation I didn’t realise he was right in front of me now. Leaning forward so his and my chest were pressed against each other’s and we were now nose to nose. He just kept looking down at me whilst I was slightly dazed. Then just as he was about to lean in SMACK!

I-I just-I just slapped Dylan Morgan. Me. Oh crap! What on earth did I just do?!

“WHAT THE FUCK!?” He screamed angrily at me. “HOW DARE YOU BITCH! YOU THINK YOU’RE TOO MUCH BETTER THAN ME?! IS THAT WHY YOU’RE NOT TALKIN TO ME BITCH?! WELL YOU ARE GONNA BE BEGGIN ME WHEN I’M THROUGH WITH YOU!”

He stormed out of the room whilst I was left in shock as to what just happened. One moment I was normal and just packing away next I’m almost kissed by Dylan Morgan who I then slap and then I’m called a bitch with Dylan planning revenge. What am I going to do?
