The Bad Boy is Undercover

Chapter Three

The Bad Boy Is Undercover- Chapter Three- "Figure it out, buddy."

Smoke filled the air, wafting upwards to try touch the stars in the night sky. A shiver ran down my spine as I turned slowly, sensing that someone was watching me. My eyes narrowed as a figure emerged from behind the corner.

"Hurry up, it's cold out here. We don't want to be late, do we?" Megan appeared by my side, hearing my loud sigh of relief. I shook my head and let out a small squeak of a 'no' before finding my way into the buzzing arena.

This was the second time that I had been here. Only this time, there wasn't a glare on my face directed at Megan as we walked inside. I was smiling.

My best friend wove through the crowd, grip tight on my arm. I stumbled into a passing person and immediately apologised, feeling a sharp yank as Megan began to drag me over to the same seats as last Friday. 

I plonked myself down into the plastic seat beside Parker. He slung an arm over the back of my chair, poking out his tongue at my presence.

"How's my favourite girl?" He cocked his head. I screwed up my face and answered simply, "I'm fine."

Megan smirked at Parker's arm, raising her eyebrows. "Cosy there?"

"Welcome to The Arena. Let's get started," The announcer yelled into his microphone, people around me pumping their fists in the air and hooting like hooligans. "Xavier Daniels!" The devil himself was called into the arena, girls screaming and boys shouting.

He walked towards the announcer, in all his glory. Black skinny jeans and a white shirt, a complete 'bad boy' look. A few inaudible words were spoken before Xavier nodded, taking hold of the microphone.

"Addison, get your ass down here."  His eyes landed on my own and a sly smirk settled on his lips. Megan squealed and gestured for me to go.

"I'm staying." I stated, cuddling into Parker's side. He took hold of my hold of my hand and squeezed, pouting his lips. Friends. Only friends.

"Addison, Hurry the fuck up." Xavier growled, his voice reverberating around the arena. Every eye was trained on me as they expected any sign of movement.

Well this is awkward. And embarrassing.

I let out a groan, slipping out of Parker's reach. Xavier grinned at my best friend, almost a triumphant look. 

Folding my arms over my chest, I watched the security guard open the gate for me. Silence. No one spoke as I strode across the tarmac, stopping by my requester.

"This is the girl who won against me last week." Xavier told the crowd, grimacing. I plastered a cocky smirk on my face, leaning against Xavier's shoulder. Yup, that's me.

They should make a new 'That's So Raven' series. I would totally audition.

"Let's get racing!" The announcer hollered. Xavier snatched my wrist, pulling me into the pit stop area, out of view from the crowd.

"I was watching that boyfriend of yours." He dropped my hand, stepping closer and breathing his minty breath across my face. I glared over his shoulder. There was no way I was dealing with him today.
