The Perfect Mate

Chapter 3-- The bad boy

Arianna's POV

I walked into the class cautiously. Already in their seats were the group of girls which i had seen earlier and a few guys which I didn't recognise. Upon seeing me, the girl rolled her eyes and started whispering to her friends.

"...nerd........bet she's no fun..........wouldn't like to be with her."

I heard some words and a lump formed in my throat. Well, at least I know that I don't like her. "Hey Bea, wanna go to Lion's house later? He's holding a party." Someone called. The girl whipped her head around and replied. "Okay, see you at 7."
So her name is Bea, i thought. Typical
Bea turned her head around and glared at me. "What are you still doing here? Go sit somewhere and bury yourself in your books like the nerd you are!" She sneered. The other girls behind snickered and I said nothing as I went to the back and sat down. A few minutes later, I heard girls shrieking. I looked up to see him.
He was surrounded by girls, all wanting to get his attention. I rolled my eyes. Just then, he spotted me at the back. "Hey there, Fiesty." He called. I thought: Seriously? Fiesty? What kind of nickname is that?

I just rolled my eyes. He feigned hurt when he saw my reaction. "Come on, that hurt." He said and stuck out his lip. Playboy.

"Hi, Tyler!" Bea gushed, desperately trying to get his attention. So, his name is Tyler. Well since he gave me a nickname, il just give him one.

Soon, half of the day was over and the 1 hour lunch began. I walked around, looking for a seat when I saw Jess waving like a madwoman at me. I smiled and walked forward. No sooner had I taken a few steps than I felt someone grip my hand. Looking down, I saw Tyler holding on to my wrist. "Hey, babe, where ya going?" He asked. I rolled my eyes for like, the fifth time that day. "Jess," I responded.

He looked at me with longing. "Can't you sit with me?" He asked, trying to make puppy eyes and pouting. To be honest, his reaction made me want to laugh. I wanted to say,"Hey puppy, why don't you just let me go and I'll see you tomorrow?" But before I did, someone screamed.
"HEY, LET MY GIRLFRIEND GET HERE!" This time, I laughed out loud. It was Jess, clearly starving and waiting for my arrival. I shook his hand off my wrist and made my way over. "Thanks," I said once reaching the table.
"No problem. If you ever need me, call me. Here, give me your phone and I'll give you my number." I did as told and pulled my sandwich out of my bag. Jess was eating a packet of potato chips and I watched her as she wolfed down every single one.
"Don't you ever get fat?" I asked. She shrugged. "I don't know, I never do. Oh and BTW, you should stay away from Tyler. He's bad news."
I was puzzled. Tyler seemed nice enough, well except for the time at the entrance. Feeling curious, I asked.
"Why?" Jess shook her head at me and made clicking sounds wih her tongue.
"He's the leader of the Reapers gang. He had tattoos practically every where on his body, and is unnaturally strong and fast. I wouldn't want to get on the bad side of him, if I were you." I already have. I thought.
" That guy switches girls like a girl changes clothes. Every relationship lasts for a month at most. He's never serious, always skips lessons, and likes to hit on the freshmen. He's basically the bad boy of the school." I nodded, listening intently.

We chatted for a long time. About books, annoying siblings, and she gushed every time some hot dude walked past. When the first bell rang,
we walked together to History.
Mr Kale was in the class when we walked in. Seeing me, he said.
"Ah, I see Ms Blake has arrived. Would you like to introduce yourself?" I nodded and turn to the class. "Umm... hi guys, my name is Arianna and this is my first year here. I mean not my first year, but I moved so I'm still in the 12th grade..." I only realised I was rambling when the class stared at me. I dipped my head in embarrassment and made my way to my seat. Mr kale cleared his throat and started with the lesson.

The lesson had not even finished. Only 30 minutes had passed when the door opened suddenly. Standing in the hallway, all sweaty and grinning, was Tyler. "Hey Mr Kale!" He said, smiling like a four-year-old who received a big free lollipop. Mr Kale arched his eyebrow. "And why are you late, Mr Parker?"
"Well I just decided I wanted to relax for a while." I could tell Mr Kale was furious but even if he was, he didn't show it. Voice steady, he said. "Please sit, Mr Parker, and do not repeat this again." Still grinning, Tyler made his way toward Bea, but saw me and started to go to me instead. Plopping down on a chair beside mine, he asked. "So, newbie, how's school?"

That guy switches girls like a girl changes clothes. Every relationship lasts for a month at most. He's never serious, always skips lessons, and likes to hit on the freshmen. Don't listen to anything he says. Thinking about Jess's words, I decided to ignore him. When I did, he pressed. "Don't you think this is boring?" He asked. I was getting really irritated. "No, it is not boring, and school's fine thanks!" I snapped.
"In fact, it would be even better if you got your ass out of this room cuz it stinks like hell!"
He just smirked. It made me even angrier. I mean, HE ONLY SMIRKED. I was seeing red. I counted to ten, and continued ignoring him until the end of the lesson. When we walked out, I saw Bea walking toward me. "Hey, what does Ty want to do wih you? I can't believe he's actually interested in you" she said, glaring at me. I rolled my eyes. To be honest, I felt kind of happy that he liked me and not her.
"Well at least I'm not a bitch and a slut who goes around trying to get everyone's attention and getting all the guys to hit on me. Try to surprise me for once, Bea." She looked shocked that I knew her name. Now it was my turn to smirk. "How... how do you even know my name?" She asked.

"If you haven't noticed, Bea, some guy practically said your name out." I said, turned on my heels and walked away feeling a sense of achievement.
