Just Another Bad Boy Story

Chapter seventeen: A twisting turn

This morning was really awkward, me and Aiden barely talked. I guess none of us did know what to say after yesterdays ”event”. I didn’t even know what it meant, if it even mean anything to him? It certainly meant something to me, I still get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. I need to come up with something to say to him at lunch. And speaking of lunch, I need to give Mason an answer about the date, considering what happened yesterday, I’m gonna say no. And try to negotiate with him, to leave Steph out of it. I let out a sigh and starts to drum with my pen. Claire puts her hand on my arm and sends me a smile.

”Don’t be nervous, he is only gonna ask you out” She smirked. I widened my eyes and drooped my chin. How did she know? Maybe she wasn’t talking about Mason.

“Who?” I asked as I got my chin back up.

“Carter, of course” She smiled and poked me on my side.

“How..When did you found out? Who told you?” I asked quickly but Claire just laughed.

“Calm down Haley, Carter told me himself this morning. But don’t worry, my lips are sealed” She smiled and made a move, showing she was locking her lips.

“Niñas, please be quiet” Mrs. Garcia complained.

“Perdón, Mrs. Garcia” Me and Claire said at the same time. Sometimes Mrs. Garcia could be a bit strict, but she was a really good teacher and her methods to teach us Spanish was hilarious. Once she made us dance to a Shakira song and then she’s been teaching us popular jokes from America and Mexico. Really different from my other Spanish teacher, who was an old lady who didn’t give a crap about Spanish, but Mrs. Garcia really does, she’s from Mexico and loves her home country and to teach other people about the beauty of it.

The bell rings and Claire and I leave the room quickly, to have lunch. I swallow hard at that word, lunch. As soon as we’ve put our things in our lockers we head to the cafeteria. Steph and Drew was already sitting at our table when we got there, and Claire took the seat next to Drew, of course. I bump down next to Steph and let out a sigh as I lean on her shoulder.

“Steph, you are a really good friend” I stated, and Steph started to laugh.

“What’s up with you today?” She asked as she ruffled my hair.

“Nothing, I just wanted you to know that I think you are a great friend. With the sudden sleepover and everything” I replied with a smile, and Steph lighten up a bit.

“That’s what friends are for” She gave me a hug that I returned, taking in her sweet scent of flowers. She lets go off me and we both turn to Claire and Drew.

“When are your anniversary?” Steph asked as she placed a straw in her mouth and wiggled her eyebrows at them.

“Tomorrow” Drew said and kissed Claire on the cheek. Both me and Steph let out an “aaw”, Claire and Drew are so cute together.
