The Bad Boy Returns

Chapter 3:Why Is It Always Me?

KAT'S POV

"I can't believe she would do this to me and my brother!" I tell Nikki. We are walking to school and I'm telling her the latest news about my mom. That night I called her, crying. She could barely make out what I was saying.
"So she just left to live with this guy you don't know and didn't even show an ounce of regret?"she asks.
"Yeah it was like it didn't even bother her that she cheated and was leaving us." I start getting mad. I haven't been taking this divorce thing very well and I hate it. Austin hasn't been taking it well either, him and dad aren't getting along, actually none of us are right now but their relationship is getting loud and physical and just bad.
"Damn. I am so sorry Kat." she try's comforting me but it's doesn't work.

We reach the school and I go straight to my locker while Nikki heads to go to her class early, giving me a sympathetic grin.
I turn around to have my locker door slammed, almost catching my fingers.
I see Brit standing there with a smug face while Alex stands there like a coward and does nothing while his girlfriend harasses me again. As usual he acts like he doesn't see what's going on even though he's right there.
"Hey there Rat!" Brit sneers.
"It's Kat." I spit at her. I am not in the mood for this.
"Shut up." she says lifting her arms to push me against the locker but before she can someone stands in front of me holding her wrists to prevent her from touching me.
I see Alex's jaw clench as he steps forward.

"No one messes with Kat but me." I hear the deep voice in front of me and I automatically know it's Shane.
"Dude. don't touch my girlfriend." Alex says clenching his fist. Oh so he only defends Brit.
"Well tell your girlfriend not to touch Kat." he says, in a demanding voice.

I freeze.

Is he defending me? My bully for years is helping me. That's just not right.

Brit pulls her arms away and Alex grabs her and steers her away from us and for once she the one who looks scared.
Shane turns to me and chuckles noticing my reaction. The laughs sounds exactly how he laughed when he pushes me in a pile of mud after telling everyone that I started my period.

"Uh thanks?" I say not knowing what else to do. "No problem kitty. like I said no one but me can mess with you." he smile mischievously.
"Oh now I feel better." I say sarcastically. I then walk away not saying another word. He just leisurely walks to class far behind me.
I sit in my seat and Shane sits next to me again. Is this what I'm going to have to deal with all school year?

---------------------------------------------

"Ok kids so today's a catch up day so if you have any work you need to catch up on do that first and if you don't having anything to catch up on you can talk. no yelling." the teacher says going on her computer.
This is why I love History, we never really do anything.
----------
I zone out thinking about my mom and dad and the whole messed up situation. I honestly don't feel like seeing either of them at all right now.I clench and unclench my fists trying to contain my anger and sadness.
"What's wrong with you?" I hear Shane say. I turn glaring at him. his presence is making everything worse too.
"Nothing." I snap.
"Yeah sure." he rolls his eyes. "Seriously what's wrong."
why does he even care.
"Why do you want to know?" I snap again.
"Because I do." he says flatly.
"Are you stalking me or something?." I say noticing how he keeps butting into my life.
"You are so stupid kitty." he says signaling for me to tell him. I groan, it's not like people aren't going to find out anyway.
"My parents are getting divorced and my mom left and she doesn't even care about me and my brother and I have to live with our deadbeat  dad." I say in one breath, getting it off my chest.
He just nods like he understands. "sucks." he says pointing out the obvious.
"Yeah." I say quietly, playing with my pencil.
The bell rings signaling the end of school. I get up fast and walk out the door. Shane catches up with me.

"Be ready and 7:30 tomorrow morning." he says. "Why?" I ask confused.
"Because I'm giving you a ride." he say like I should've known.
"Why do you think I would ever torture myself like that." I say giving him a face.
"If you don't I will drag you out of that house by your legs. Plus ....." He pauses smirking at me with mischievous eyes."I heard your dad is buying you a new phone that you've been wanting ." He says smiling like a Cheshire Cat.
I stare at him.
"You wouldn't." I glare at him.
"You and I both know I would, so be ready or I'll convince your dad to get rid of your precious phone." he smiles. my eyes widen.

Satans spawn right here everybody.

"Fine." I growl and he says good before waking in the other direction.
I know my dad is not the best but he tries and I finally convinced him to get me a better phone than my crappy flip phone. My dad loves Shane since he used to box until he started drinking and Shane boxes, so he vicariously lives his dream through Shane. Shane could get him to do any thing, like take away my phone and I am not going to risk that.

I get home around 7:00 pm after hanging out with Nikki. I walk in seeing my dad passed out with a half empty beer bottle in his hand. I walk past and go to my room, going straight to bed feeling a headache coming.

----------------------------------------------

The next morning I'm up and ready by 7:00 and waiting for Shane. I'm hoping he has a shred of kindness and won't bail on me, I kind of need a ride , even if it is with that devil child.
7:15 rolls around and I hear the door bell ring. I go downstairs to see my dad answering the door smiling, happy to see Shane's back.

"Shane! You're back! how's boxing?" my dad slurs already drunk and it's only 7:00.
"It's going well." Shane says with a smile but as he looks around the house at the broken bottles and crap everywhere, and I notice that his jaw clenches . I walk into their view and they both turn their attention to me. Shane slaps on that signature smirk as he sees me.
"Kat you never told me Shane was back." my dad points out. Shane stands there eyeing me.
"Sorry I forgot to mention it." I say.
My dad groans and flops on the couch.
"Have a good school." my dad says, slurring his words.
I walk out with Shane behind me.
I slow down down letting him pass me so that I can watch him. he sees my face and breaks out smiling.
"What?" he says.
"Nothing just being cautious." I state.

"Honestly  are you never going to trust me?"he says getting into the car. I get in checking around to find nothing suspicious. "Not after the crap you pulled on me for the past ohh seven years."I say incredulously.
"They were pretty great huh?" He chuckles.

----------------------------------------------
We get to school and I luckily survived the car ride there with minimal injuries. He did, as he said, "accidentally" stab me in the arm with a pen but other than that and his sexual innuendos it went ok.
I get out and so does Shane but he decides to make a show out of it, slowly stretching , flexing off his muscles before putting on his leather jacket and shades.

Douche.

I see a bunch of girls giggling and batting their eye lashes. I roll my eyes. "Idiot." I say to him before walking away as he laughs.

"Yes I am sexy!" he yells back at me. so obnoxious.
"In your dreams, asshole!" I say leaving without another word.
I make it to my locker to see Nikki running towards me.
"Did you just come here with Shane?!" she asks out of breath.
"Yeah. He literally forced me to. I had no choice." I say thinking about my phone.
"She's just denying that she wanted to.....and more." I see Shane standing next to me, winking at that last part.
I fake a gag, making him roll his eyes.
"No, gross." I state.
"Don't deny it, you want me."
Before I can counter with a witty comeback I see Brit walking towards us until she spots Shane. As soon as she sees him she turns walking the other way quickly.
"Whoa that's a first." I hear Nikki say, shocked.
"Yeah." I say with my mouth open.

"Close your mouth, darling. you don't want to catch flies." Shane says smiling then patting my head before walking away.

Why is it always me?
