The day started like any other for former army brat Ryder Mckenzly. She was starting her first day at Harlem Creek high, she has gotten used to new schools her father was high up in the military. He was killed in an ambush last year and her, her sister and her mom are just trying to make it through life without fucking up too bad. She was always a daddy's girl. She had her red hair pulled back in a messy bun. Her green eyes popped against her alabaster skin, she tried to dress her curvy busty body without looking hoochy. She always covered herself up the best she could. She has never been fond of her body. Compared to her smoking sister, tall, lanky perfect skin, perfect curls that fall around her face just enough curves to get guys interested but not too much to look frumpy. It was the middle of the school year, and she didn't want to draw attention to herself, the complete opposite of Rikkelle, the popular. The weather was still chilly in the morning but comfortable during the day. She pulled on a pair of fitting blue jeans, a black tank top always went under her shirts followed by her large t shirt today, as blended as possible. She hated the terms new girl, she hated the stares, the unspoken rules between cliques and the pity her peers forced upon her when the news about her father comes out. She slipped on her cowboy boots under her pant legs and grabbed her bag for school. "Hey Ryder! Breakfast is ready!" Her mother's caramel silk voice rang through the town house they were renting. She made her way down stairs. Her mother's thin figure stood looking out the window. Since her father's passing her mother tended to zone out and drift off to a happier time. "Hey mom, how are you doing today?" Ryder asked wearily, afraid of the answers she has gotten and didn't like to hear. She rubbed her face before turning toward her daughter, who had most of her father's looks. "I'm OK Ryder, I think I'm going to start looking into going back to school now that you and your sister are in highschool and Levi has decided to take the country wide road trip with Kaelynn. And Lord knows when he will be back with her influence."
"I think that would be great mom, I would love to see you do something more than be a mom and to do what you would like. Where is Rikkelle?"
"She left early, she didn't want to be associated with a freshman with bigger boobs and a curvier figure than her seeing as she's a junior and 17 and your 15. But don't let it bother you sweetie. Are you seriously not going to try to dress up at all for school? You could meet someone, a guy someone" she gave a sly smirk she was always pushing for boyfriends for the girls since her dad's passing, begrudgingly she walked back upstairs. She sifted through her closest and pulled out a button up blue plaid shirt. With rolled the sleeves up she kept the top couple buttons undone and tied it in a knot extenuating her waist. She pulled her hair out of her bun and messed in some curling gel she didn't have time to really fix her hair like her sister. She threw on some eye liner and lipstick and darted down stairs. "Now that's more like it!!! You look great Hun! Here's some coffee to go you need to get going or you'll miss the bus. I love you sweetie. Bye Hun"
With a quick hug Ryder grabbed her bag and made for the bus stop. Many girls stood completely isolated in their groups whispering about the new busty redhead. Ryder was getting uncomfortable despite the cool windy temps, she was sweating. Giggling seemed to surround her has she climbed onto the bus to the most hidden seat with her steaming cup of coffee in her hands. The ride seemed to take ages as the sun peeked over the mountains and highlighting the valleys. The bus pulled up to the school and everyone darted off of the bus and bulleted toward the main building. She climbed off of the bus slowly only to get rammed by a jock student who was not paying attention to anyone but himself. The stench of the burning coffee drenched her from her waist down her crotch.... "Fuck!" She screamed as loud as she could of course her coffee spilled on her, of course now she gets no coffee today will be great. "Oh sorry girl, I didn't see you." As mad as she was she still noticed his dark short smooth locks of hair dangling in front of deep slate grey-blue eyes with prisms of rich blue dancing in his irises. His shoulders were broad and under a loose shirt she knew were toned carved muscles. His voice was warm and creamy that was music to her ears... she was still drenched in coffee with no change of clothes at a new school on her first day. She opened her mouth to give the dazzling hunk a piece of her mind and realized she was by herself. She went to the office through the maze like hallways and slowly figured out where her classes were. Her first period was geometry, her second was chemistry, third was English 2 fourth was history. Her fifth and sixth were two art classes and her seventh was Latin. Her core classes were all junior and senior level classes. Her art classes were also above level and Latin one was normal for fishes to have. Entering geometry and chemistry she felt the stares but nothing out of the norm. One girl caught her eye. She had bright red hair in a mohawk, a tongue ring clicked around her teeth, her ears were covered in rings and you could barely see the tips of a Celtic tattoo on the back of her neck. "So class we have a new girl, you may stand up and say a couple things, your name, you dream job, and where you're from" the chemistry teacher monotone voice droned through the class. "I'm Ryder, I'm a freshman, I've traveled all over the world since my dad was military, the most recent place we were in was Fairbanks, Alaska. And I want to be a tattoo artist."
"Well...Ryder you can take a seat next to Nikkalas Kariston." He pointed at empty seat next to mohawk girl. And on with class we went. Welcome to third period
"Miss McKenzly, you will be in the third row 2 set of desks on the left. Your partner is Emmett Jackson. He is usually late so be prepared." A stern faced middle aged black haired woman stated cold when she walked in. She sat at her desk and waited. Sure enough the bell rang ,the teacher stood up and right as she opened her mouth the door swung open and in came dreamy eyes MC-dousche-who-spilled-my-coffee! He swaggered into the classroom dodging glares from everyone else in class. He swiveled his chair and sat on it backwards next to her. He reeked of cologne and sweat. The smell was both disgusting and revolting but also enticing and luring. She could see his muscles flex and twitch as he twisted around in his chair, rummaged through his desk, and stretched. Man she could not get enough of his stretching, his shirt would barely raise up above his pant line. The v he had was playing peek-a-boo with her. And he knew it. He noticed all of her stares and each of his movements were deliberate. He had chosen his next challenge getting the new girl. Getting Ryder the red head. Fourth period came and went to no more excitement. Lunch came and Ryder sat alone, unsuspecting to the eyes that were constantly on her, Emmett's. After lunch she had sculpture 2 and he was there again! With a beautiful paper sculpture of a woman sitting in front of him. She couldn't help thinking how hot he was too her. Sexy and an artist. Her second art class had him there too, and luckily Latin was an Emmett free zone. The last bell rang and everyone bolted toward the doors. As she gathered her things she was wondering about Rikkelle's day. And if she had any classes with Emmett. As she exited the school there he was. Against the wall looking for someone... she continued passed him trying to look like she didn't notice him and that there wasn't a wetness in between her legs. She felt a strong hand grab her shoulder "hey new girl!" She turned around hating that term. "You're Ryder right?" She nodded. "You want a ride home? Maybe get some coffee or a slushee of something?"
"Uhh I'm not really supposed to go places without my mom knowing..." she was hoping that would get her out of it
"Oh that's no problem call her," he let a sly half smile slip and her heart jumped into her throat. She pulled out her phone without answering him and dialed her mom.
"Hey mom...no I didn't miss the bus... I had a questi-...mom...mom...MOM! Let me finish one of my classmates..yes a guy... yes he's older...MOM he wanted to know if I could hang out!...OK thanks...no I don't have homework...no I won't be late...yes mom I'm smart....no I won't make a mistake... geez mom I love you I'll be home by curfew bye...BYE!" She shoved her phone in her purse and looked into those slate grey eyes. "You ready then? Or were you just bluffing?"
"I wasn't bluffing I can't wait to hang out one on one with you. When is your curfew?"
"It's 9 since it's a school night." Her insides turned she had never had these thoughts about a guy before.. dirty, naughty, nice sounding thoughts.
"Sweet!"they slowly walked toward his truck, a 94 Dodge Dakota SLT extended cab long bed,with a cattle guard and a 6 inch lift kit. She didn't notice Nikkalas from her earlier classes watching with intent as the two wandered to his truck. If she had things might have turned out differently. "So Ryder what grade are you in?"
"I'm 15 in 9th grade... I'm about to be 16 soon though. Because I've moved so many times I got held back hint why I am in all above grade classes."
"So me being a junior and turning 18 in 6 months isn't that bad??"
"No it's not." They got to the truck and he opened her door for her and before she could do anything he wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her into the truck. Her crotch burned with yearning for more. The truck turned over with ease as it roared to life he peeled out of the parking lot and tore down the road. The roar of the engine was sexy, the vibrating underneath her opened up some hidden thoughts. Dirty naughty thoughts she's never had ' man I wish we could just drive and him take me in the bed of the truck and just go wild' she tried to stop herself from those thoughts and couldn't. His muscles rippled with each gear shift and every turn he made. "So new girl coffee or a slushee?" Her heart jumped his voice was ever so enticing, she could listen to it all day long. He didn't know what drew him to this beautiful redhead but he wanted her and he wanted her bad! He wanted his lips on her neck and his hands on her skin. He never wanted to take her home he didn't want this night to end. "Well considering the fact you spilt my coffee all over me this morning when I got off the bus I want coffee maybe iced but I want coffee" "I'm sorry about that. Me and the boys get rowdy in the mornings and today wasn't the first time something has been spilled because of our shinanagins. We can go get coffee my treat! And a snack I'm starving." His words rolled off the tip of his tongue like caramel, and his little southern draw made it all the better. He was perfect, he blushed just a touch when she mentioned the coffee like he was actually embarrassed or sorry.... he was seeming more and more like an actual human and less like a dumb jock. They talked for hours, over coffee so long that her iced coffee melted and his coffee cooled. He'd ask her a question and she'd reply, he would listen intently to her intelligent remarks and snarky comments. She would delve deep into his eyes as he would talk about his love for baseball and football. How his father had abused him his whole life from emotional to physical to even sexual and then he would apologize intently and blush and look away. She broke into the story of her dad being killed, her brother leaving on the trip to get away from her mother who is dealing with depression, and her sister who is way to hot for her own good. The sun started setting as they were sitting on the bed of his truck watching it go down before one of them thought to check the time. " Ryder! It's 8:45!!! We need to go now! Or your mom's gonna hate me!" Ryder looked in amazement. " How the hell did we blow 6 fucking hours?!?" They jumped into his truck and as it started all time seemed to slow. She didn't want to leave him, she wanted to stay and talk, secrets nobody has ever heard from their mouths were exposed that day. She wanted to be bold and she was. She slid across the bench seat into the middle to feel his warmth against hers. His heart pounded when he felt her near him... how the hell did she have the balls to come close man! Man step up your game and grow a pair! Do not let her leave without your number and a kiss! The rounded the corner to her house at 8:58. Right as she was about to jump out she felt his hand on her shoulder and neck. "Ryder one thing before you leave" "yeah emm-" he cut her off with a kiss, his lips crushed hers and she gave into it. She had never felt these feelings in her stomach. She wanted to rip his shirt off as she felt the ripple beneath his shirt his fingers danced in her hair. She never wanted to break this embrace when a knock on the window broke them up. They both jumped with a start as they realise they had an audience. Her sister was there. Beautiful curls draped around her face. Dark intense eyes staring right at Ryder. "It's 9 Ryder you better get inside and not let mom catch you with a guy like this... what we you like 21? What are you doing touching my sister after what I saw you doing in the hallway today? Ryder get out now! And you fuckboy leave! I can't believe this first you hit on me, then I see you kissing not one but two other girls in the hall and now I catch you with my sister!" She had yanked the door open and grabbed a confused Ryder out of the truck. " Oh by the way the truck is the only thing you have that can give a girl any pleasure." He looked at Ryder with almost no emotion and what emotion was there she couldnt read. He speaks off in a could of dust and two specks of tail lights. " What the hell Rikkelle? Why did you do that?" Ryder stormed off toward the house, flung opened the door, she barely acknowledged her mother watching the newest episode of some popular show and stomped up the stairs. She locked her door and threw herself on her bed. She let the tears flow from frustration and hurt from her sister and pain from her missing her father and still trying to be strong for her mother and wanting to be weak. She heard a knock on her door and immediately responded back with go away. She couldnt believe Rikkelle would make up those lies about someone she talked to for 6 hours and enjoyed every moment of. She finally found a guy and her sister accused him of hitting on her and making out with two other girls that day! She heard another knock. "Sweetie, honey open the door and talk to me, talk to your sister I'm sure she didn't mean it. Baby open the door." Her mothers silky velvet voice carried into the room. Rikkelle begrudgingly got up and unlocked the door for her and went to bury her face in the pillow. Her mother came and sat on the bed and pulled hr head into her lap. The stench of cigarettes and alcohol penetrated the air around her. It wasn't like her mother to drink or smoke but she brushed it off. "Homey what happened?" Ryder sat up wiped her tears and her nose and sniffled. " We went out for coffee, and talked the entire time about alot, my dad his dad everything. Our dreams and ambitions, and I had the best feeling i didnt want to leave him and I wanted to stay near him and we pull up at 8:58 and he kissed me.... hard! And I liked it... I loved it and rikkelle being the bitch she is barged in, banged on the window and started accusing him of all this stuff, like hitting on her, and kissing two other girls at school. He made my first day of school awesome mom! I had an awesome day! He is in most of my classes, he's an artist! And amazing sculpter and an athlete and the quarterback. And he's really smart! And she accused of all of this shit just because she is jealous!" She breathed a heavy sigh.... her mom's skin was cool and soft as she began to rub her daughter's arm. " Ryder talk to Rikkelle, she isn't jealous she believes it was him who she saw and was hit on by today. She doesn't want you to get hurt if he is a "fuckboy" or your soul mate. Talk to her and talk to him. And see how things go. If she's telling the truth let him prove you otherwise.... I love you sweetheart. Goodnight Hun talk to your sister please." With a sly smile she disappeared into the doorway. Ryder sat there.... and waited... not 10 minutes later rikkelle showed up in the empty doorway. " Can I come in?" Ryder shrugged, "sure I guess you like to barge in on other aspects of my life." "Ryder, I know I'm not that much older than you bit I still am older, he is 17 almost 18. At your age that's too old. How you are right now, you are still developing and trying to figure out the world and dating and guys and it's hard as can be! And some guys are not good for you, some guys want to get you in bed and then leave you the next morning alone empty and confused... and I don't want you to go through that. I have been with guys like him. Hot smart enough funny open and they just take your breath away.. I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world until he got what he wanted forcefully. Left me at some random party and a month later I was pregnant and lost the baby before me and mom told you... I was raped and almost a mother at 16 because of a hot guy who gave me attention for a couple weeks... think on that sis. I love you and I don't want you to get just take it slow and make sure you really know who you are with. And if something happens call the cops.... I love you sis goodnight"
