Drowning in the Bad Boy

Chapter 2

The last thing on earth I wanted to do, is to climb up the boys' dormitory building at half past six in the morning. I can't believe I'm doing this after two weeks of school as a junior. Thanks to Alice and her stupid revenge plan. Alice is my friend from work, we bonded over our mutual hatred for Kate. Unlike me, she's the head cheerleader and really popular at school.

According to Alice, she was blatantly ignored by the legendary Gabriel Rodrigues, when she asked him to be her boyfriend last year. It hurt her ego so badly that she was holding grudges against him ever since. I don't get why this Gabriel would reject such a bit piece of add like Alice. I mean, she's beautiful, popular, filthy rich, and every girl's dream. If Gabriel Rodrigues is really a bad boy and fucks around a lot, why would he reject such a hottie like Alice?

So, when Alice came to us and introduce her evil master plan to sneak into this Gabriel guy's dorm room and take scandalous photos of him, I was like "Hell yes, why not?" Who wouldn't like some fun in the midst of monotonous school work? And it wouldn't be me to actually put it in action. I won't mind watching Alice embarrass herself and laugh at her failure. Relentless it might seem, but this is basically how our friendship works.

However, Alice held it against me and made me into the one actually sneaking into the room. She said I "took the challenge", which I did not?? That's when I know it's a damn trap. I'm screwed. She reasoned thag I should be the one going in because I'm "smaller in size with agility". It's true though, Maya and Alice are both taller and bigger than me, and Jen has bad inter-limb coordination.

So here I am, acting like some Spider-Man wannabe, climbing up the second floor school's dormitory with a camera hanging around my neck. Thank God it's not too high, only one storey above the ground. I can easily manage with all the tree-climbing practices I had with dad when I was small. But again, I probably look like a pig with a gigantic ass now.

"Are you there yet?" Jen half shouted. She was pushing me upwards while Maya pushed my butt up. Alice was doing basically nothing except "supervising" (her words).

"Almost there," I replied. I held onto the balcony railings of the supposed dorm room. I threw myself onto the balcony and landed perfectly.

The curtain was half open so I could see the inside of the room clearly. I hid behind the curtain and peeked inside. The interior of the room was quite simple. There were four beds and study desks arranged accordingly, indicating there are four boys living in there. It's also quite messy though, with clothes hung in the room randomly and stuff laying casually on the beds.

"Can you see anything?" whisper-shouted Alice eagerly.

I hushed her and continued to look inside. A tall, well-built figure walked out the bathroom door. The bare body was uncovered except for a towel hanging loose below his waist, revealing his chiseled abs and defined muscles. I'm pretty sure it's Gabriel Rodrigues because I recognised the face from the picture Alice showed me. He is undeniably, abnormally hot with his unkempt dark hair, still wet from the shower, and sculptured cheekbones. No wonder all the girls are crazy about him.

I carefully not to be noticed and quickly took a few pictures before sticking my thumbs up at my friends to signal them I'm done. These photos are enough to get their nose bleed. I should sell it to Alice and make a hell lot of money out of it.

As I turned around, my elbow accidentally knocked over a small plant kind of thing and it fell onto the ground. Although it missed my friends, it landed on the ground with a loud crash. Loud enough to make people in the room aware of what's going on outside.
