Caught By The Bad Boys

Chapter Fourteen: Dressed Up

Dressed Up

Oh what an exciting game it was! We beat that scary looking school's ass! Ethan was so good, the way he scored and played fairly with his teammates even though they were becoming enemies.

When they won I ran up to Ethan and he engulfed me in his arms as people congratulated him.

Blake didn't show up which was no surprise...did I scare him off when we almost kissed?

It's been on my mind all night when we went out for pizza to go celebrate. I was kind of glad we didn't kiss because then I wouldn't have to face the feeling of rejection when he pulls away.

Of course, he would pull away Lana! He doesn't like you...and you don't like him!

He's a typical bad boy who will just use you like he does with every other girl, when this bet is over you'll just go back to the same nerd you always were.

But what if I want to stay like this? I mean I look like badass in this clothing...I can wear whatever I want and nobody will even dare say a thing anymore!

Why? If they do they'll have to answer to the school bad boy, jock, prankster and player. But I can't always rely on them...very soon I'll have to start fighting my own battles.

"Lana!" Miranda said snapping her fingers in front of my face.

"Hmm?" I said looking at her.

"We're here." she said gesturing to the big shopping mall in front of us.

"Oh yeah." I said getting out of her car. Yesterday's events disappeared from my mind as we walked into the big mall, it was now Saturday and I was spending it with my best friend looking for homecoming outfits.

We walked into three stores already and found nothing Miranda then decided we should go for lunch.

We started to eat in silence as I stared at my drink, it was a can of soda but my mind was elsewhere. I then heard Miranda slam her can down on the table making my head jerk up.

"Okay...what's up? You've been spacing out all day." She said looking at me with a serious face. I shook my head and mumbled.

"Ethan tried to kiss me." I said taking another bite of my burger. Her eyes widened but then turned into a grin.

"And then Blake," I said not daring to make eye contact.

"At the same time?" she asked with wide eyes.

"What? No!" I said laughing at the thought.

"So at different times?" she asked raising her eyebrow. I slowly nodded as she did the same then we went back to eating.

"That's f*cking amazing Lana!" she said throwing her hands up dramatically. I stared at her with a 'are you kidding me' look while she just smirked at me.

"You got them wrapped around your little finger, Lana Willson." She said wiggling her eyebrows.

"I mean your date to homecoming is Carter hot ass Halls and Ethan looks like he's falling for you and now Blake!" Miranda sighed propping her chin on her hand.

"Ugh please I bet its just because I look like this..." I said gesturing to the clothing I was wearing today, which was a black leather jacket, ripped jeans and ankle boots. It sort of became my regular attire when going out.

"Yeah, they're a bunch of douchebags," Miranda said flicking her blonde hair off her shoulder.

"And what about you Ms Stevens? What's going on in your love life?" I asked taking a sip of my soda. Her cheeks instantly turned red as she looked away.
