Bad Boy's Distraction

Chapter 19 - The Other Woman

When 3rd period ended I made my way to my locker to put my history textbooks away. As I opened my locker I saw the sweater Blake landed me a couple of days ago, I pulled it and a pice of paper fell to the ground. It was a note.

I picked up the white piece of paper and unfolded it, it read.

I miss you and your wild side.
Don't be a stranger, text me.
213- 111- 05xx
love,
The guy who showed you how to live a little.
Kyle.

I was kind of confused at first, but then I realized, who it was. Kyle, the guy in the grey sweater, the drug dealer and the person I was with that night I got a little out of hand. I never really asked for his name so when he wrote 'the guy who showed you how to live a little.' I immediately knew who it was.

I shoved the piece of paper into my back pocket and took a deep breath. I didn't know why that note startled me so much. I didn't even have to text him if I didn't want to. I slammed my locker door and walked around the hallways looking for Blake. I went to every possible places he could've been, I checked all the classes he had and he wasn't there.

As I turned a corner I saw Liam and Blake talking, it looked like they were trying to keep it down low. They were very close to each other and spoke quietly. I took a few steps back and hid on the side of the wall. I knew it was wrong but I was eavesdropping on their conversation, it seemed really important and I'm a little nosy.

Their chatter was soft so it was quite hard for me to hear plus there were other people who were talking over them. I focused more intensely and I could finally make out what they're saying.

"Is Riley ever gonna come visit soon?" Liam asked.

Who is this Riley person? And why does Liam and Blake try to keep her hidden?

"I don't know man." Blake looked around to see if anyone was listening, I jerked my head back so he wouldn't see me.

"You miss her too, don't you?" Liam whispered, he looked like he was really concerned about this topic and Blake was too.

"Of course I do, Idiot." Blake paused and slapped Liam behind his head. "I love her."

He loves her, Blake loves Riley. He likes Riley.

A pit in my stomach was suddenly forming, my knees felt week and my heart sank to the bottom. I didn't even know he knew what love was but I guess he did. I fell for the bad boy who fell for someone else. I guess the universe really doesn't give a single fuck about your feelings.

I looked back down on my charm bracelet that now has 4 charms. I guess I'll never really be a lucky bastard with 6 charms. It was nice to dream though.

"Ow! That hurt! Just keep me updated, okay?" Liam held his head which Blake just struck.

"I always do!" Blake retorted.

After hearing that I didn't wanna hear more. I stood at the same spot but dazed off into my thoughts.

It's weird, this feeling I'm having. I'm glad he knows what love is and I'm glad he found it. I just thought that maybe, I don't know. It's a crazy thought anyways.

Katherine Chandler this is a game, an arrangement. This is all fake, he doesn't like you, you shouldn't like him. He's just being nice because he has to. Snap out of it! You can't fall for him, stop falling for him! Why are you falling for him?!
