Feeling's Fade.

Bat for the Other Team?

Chapter 6

My mind plunges into thoughts, all surrounding me at one time.

Has he just been nice to me to get something in return?

What could it possibly be?

Why would he want a favour from me?

What would Reece say about this?

Stuff Reece. Just kiss Cole.

Wait. No that, never mind.

Now Cole's is looking at you weird. ANSWER HIM LOSER!

Did I just call myself a loser?

I gulp, my throat feeling, as it there is a large knot in it. I sigh, looking at Cole in the eye. Pretending as if his thumb making circles on the small of my back is doing nothing to me. I finally get the courage to question him.

"We're you just being nice to me for a favour?" I look sternly at him. Hell no that I going to fall at the bad boy's feet when I don't know what's at risk. Maybe its sex? I shake my head disgusted with myself. Why would he want to have sex with me? I'm just a nerdy, silent, shy girl. Last time I checked he was into those leggy-blonde girls. I stand taller pushing him away, putting all my strength in his hard chest. He barely budges but understands that I'm feeling uncomfortable and moves away slowly. "Why would a boy like you want a favour from a girl like me?" I sneer. A flash of hurt crosses across his eyes. But it quickly disappears.

He nods and then smirks. "Baby, your not even going to ask me what the flavor is?" He raises his hand to the back of his neck, scratching it, never taking his eyes off me. My curiosity gets the better of me. What is this darn favour?

"Don't call me 'baby'." I mimic his voice. "Fine, what's this favour?" I scowl. His smile gets larger.

"Well Paislee, I want simply to get revenge. And you seem like the perfect person to help me." He says stepping closer towards me.

"On who? And why am I the perfect person to help you get revenge?" I snarl. What is this guy up to?

He smiles. "Reece. Reece Mace." He waits for it to sink slowly in. My best friend? What?! My eyes widen in shock. What would he possibly want against Reece? "And you're perfect because you're his best friend and he would suspect little, innocent Paislee." He smirks pushing me back against the lockers. My heart beats faster with the thing's he is doing to my heart. But I remain strong. Now Cole is going to get between Reece and me! Why would I agree to such a stupid thing!

I laugh loudly, my dying horse laughter filling the halls with an echo. My jaw tightens and my eyes pierce through Cole as if I could rip his throat out.

"That is stupid. You're a complete jerk getting between Reece and me. You have no chance with me joining you! I'm too loyal and I would never bat for the other team even if my life depended on it. The answer to your little favour is a big fat NO." and with that I go to stomp of by Cole grabs my arm, stopping me from my escape.

Ugh! I think I'm about to slap the answer into him in a minute!

"Paybe," He lets out a frustrated sigh. "He doesn't love you. Nor will he ever. Mia has got him wrapped around her little finger and there is no safe escape. " Crack. My heart. Broken. A little harsh. I turn my body slowly around. "He thinks as you as a little sister, he has to protect. He leads you on. He flirts with girl right in front of you. And he really doesn't care about your loyalty. Most of all your not his best friend, he thinks as you more of a person he can trust but not spill his dark secrets to. To be honest I don't think he has ever seen you as more than a geeky, ner-" I slap him hard across his right cheek. It almost instantly turns bright read, taking a bit of his perfection away.

He doesn't even know anything about my relationship with Reece. He nearly kissed me! He's just playing with your damn head!

Cole looks surprised at the fact that my hand has sprung a shot of pain into his million-dollar face. He gathers his thoughts and then acts like the slap didn't happen, although a handprint is clearly visible on his cheekbone. His jaw clenches and he lets go of my arm. Cole isn't angry or neither is his eyes filling with rage. He smirks and rubs his face a little.

"Trust me, Paybe." Is that the nickname he has chosen for me? I just slapped him, shouldn't he be calling me a bitch? "You'll take the favour." He chuckles and then steps back again.

"It will never happen, Cole," I say bluntly, locking my eyes onto his.

"Oh trust me. At Party tonight you'll be begging. You will." He goes to turn but then stops. "Have you ever been late for class?" He questions me raising his brow. No... Shit! I raise my arm and my eyes connect with my white watch. I have been talking to Cole for half an hour! I quickly grab my books out of my locker and dash towards English.

I swing the door forcefully and it bangs hard into the wall, startling the whole class. All eyes are drawn to me and I look worryingly at the teacher, Mr Charles rises from his desk. His arms are crossed and if looks could kill, I would be dead over a million times.

"Sorry?" I wince.

"Miss Adderall," He stares, "First time late to class." He looks turns to apologetic looking down at his coloured tie. "Detention." He hands me a white slip not able to meet my eye, my face goes bright red. No, No, No, no! Stupid Freaking Cole FREAKING Turner! I turn my eyes towards the middle row. Reece. His eyes are full of concern and anger. I gulp down, unable to move.

"Mr!" Reece shouts attracting all the attention in the room. Mr Charles looks surprised at the fact Reece shouted; he's normally one of the quite, golden boys in English. "I hate your stupid F*cking tie. It reminds me of a piece of sh*t in the boy's toilet last week." He states loudly. Everyone is surprised by his sudden outburst and snickers fly around the classroom. Meanwhile my jaw has dropped down to the floor and done about twenty loops and sky rocket to the moon and back.

His face boils and he marches up to Reece smacking another white slip on his desk. Everyone knows that you should never insult Mr Charles ties. They are his prized possession. "GET OUT OF THIS CLASSROOM AND JOIN MISS ADDERALL IN DETENTION!" He yells close enough to Reece's ear to deaf him and everyone else sitting near.

Reece just smiles. He smiles because that means he has an hour of Detention. With me. I should feel excited about this but my heart shrinks. He's not going to stop until he gets the answer he wants from me. Why I was half an hour late to class.
