Loving a Jerk

Chapter 4

"Mel! Melody please slow down!" Alec yells after me as I storm down a random hallway, not caring where I am going, as long as its away from Alec.

I speed up and ignore him.

"Mel! What is it that you want me to say? I am sorry alright? I didn't know you would be like this!"

I abruptly stop and spin around to face him. He almost runs right into me. I jab my finger into his chest.

"You don't get to treat me like you own me. I don't even know you and you think you get to touch me. Don't act like we're best friends or something. I thanked you for last night and that's that. I don't deserve this. Leave me alone and don't talk to me again!" I spin back around and continue stomping down the hall.

That jerk! He thinks he can have whatever he wants! Well guess what? This is not some fantasy where-

"um Melody? Class it this way..." I turn around and sigh.

I look at the ground and quickly walk past him with my hands in fists at my sides. I see him following a few feet behind me.

Good. Stay away.

We walk for a little like this. Me fast walking down the hall and him trailing me like a lost puppy.

Well, until he grabs my upper arm and tugs me towards one of the classrooms. I glare at him and rip my arm from his grip. He raises his hands in the air as though he surrenders.

I mumble a tiny thank you and swing the door open. Thank god we are skipping that tour!

"Well, well, well. Late on our first day back Mr. Mathews? And who is this lovely lady accompanying him? I don't believe I have seen you around." The teacher stops us at the door.

"My name is Melody Avery. I just moved here." Suddenly all my anger has vanished and I am shyly shoving my backpack strap up my arm.

I was never one to talk in front of large groups of people.

"Its very nice to meet you Miss Avery. Why don't you take a seat in the back next to Mr. Mathews? It seems you two already know each other."

I hadn't even noticed Alec leaving my side. Just my luck! Now I have to sit next to him and look at his arrogent face. Ugh. Damn him! Why does he have to be so good looking?

I realize I am still standing in front if the class and blush, quickly taking my seat in the back. I blush even more when I realuze that I called him good looking. I almost face palm.

English flew by quickly. Mr. Williams, the teacher, is quite nice, but a little monotone.

When the bell rings Alec takes me to my next class and the day goes on.

Me introducing myself and then ignoring Alec. When lunch finally comes I am starving and so relieved to get rid of Alec for now. I buy my food and sit at a table in the back corner of the lunch room by myself.

I wonder where Matt is. I scan the room looking for him.

At first I don't see him. He is sitting at a table with a bunch of boys and some girls that pulled up extra chairs.

The girl who gave Matt a tour is sitting on his lap and while Alec is sitting next to him.

I want to gag! It's the first day of school and he already has a slut giving him a lap dance. How are we even related?

I see the blond get up so that Matt can stand, so I look down at my lunch. I quietly eat for a little until I see a shadow over me.

"Mel. Are you OK? I thought you promised to make some friends! Do you want to sit with me? I am sorry about what happened this morning! Alec seems like a jerk but he is cool once you get to know him." I continue looking down as Matt speaks to me.

" Matt, do I look OK? Have I ever made friends? I am a nerd Matt. No one wants to be friends with me. And no, I don't want to sit with you. Alec is a douche. I can't believe you could forgive him this easily! He fucking kissed me!" I start to raise my voice a little.

My cursing seems to surprise Matt. I usually keep my profanities in check around him.

Matt climbs around the table and sits on the opposite side. "Mel, that wasn't a kiss. He didn't go anywhere near your lips! Anyways, you are beautiful. I mean, if you are related to me you have to be beautiful. I mean this is one hell of a face!" Matt points to his own face.

Ugh. Boys.

"I promise Alec is cool! You just have to give it some time! Come sit with me. Make some friends! Follow my lead. Why don't you try to get some of the guys attention? I heard some of them talking about how cute you were! Come on! Give them a show! Really surprise them."

I roll my eyes at Matt's crazy idea. How do I know him again?

"What do you want me to do? Act like a slut? Matt, you must be crazy!"

He grabs my hand and yanks me from my chair with a crazy look in his eyes. Uh, oh. This is not going to end well! I can't believe I am going to do this!

"Exactly! Just flirt with them! Go over the top! Let go for once Mel! Show them a different side of you."

He starts dragging me towards his friends and I feel like I could throw up. I sigh.

"Fine. But I am never doing this again. I will do it this once, only to get back at Alec."

He squeals like a girl and I roll my eyes. He hugs me, let's go of my hand and sits down.

I take my hair out of its tight pony tail and let it fall down my back. Thank god I was blessed with straight hair!
