Notorious Bad Boy

03. "You've been avoiding me"

Brittany's POV

As soon as I walked into school , I felt as if all eyes were on me. I timidly pulled at my hoodie and kept my eyes cast downwards. Stacey and I strolled over to our lockers , which much to my relief were right next to each other. I put in my locker combination, but before I could take out my books , someone slammed it shut. I shrieked and jumped back. Pain pulsed throughout my whole body. I bit my lip and took deep and calming breaths.

I hated loud noises. I hated all sudden sounds really, but I had gotten used to the school bell. At home loud sounds never meant anything good. It meant he was angry. It meant that I was in trouble. It meant pain was about to follow. I hated loud noises.

"Calm down will you. "Muttered Daene. "I don't bite."

I rolled my eyes at her last statement. I turned around. I winced in pain when I accidentally brushed my elbow against the locker. "Hi." I mumbled. "You sneaky little-" she stopped and examined my small figure. I stood clutching my lower abdomen in a slouched position , all while leaning against the lockers for support. "What happened ?" She asked concern laced in her voice. "She fell down the steps ." Stacey answered for me.

"Girl, I swear you fall down the steps every second week." Daene said. I opened my mouth to contradict her statement, but quickly shut it when I realized she was right. I used that excuse all the time.

"Anyway..." she wiggled her eyebrows. "You and Grayson ? "She questioned. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. What was she talking about ? There was nothing going on between Garayson and I. "Oh come on girl did you seriously think I didn't see that yesterday, he went all caveman it was so cute." She cooed.

Oh no!
Is that what she thought, that there was something going on between us. I turned and caught people looking at us. Is that why everyone was looking at us? At me?
Because they thought that there was something between us. That's what William had also thought. How many people knew about this. My life was already hell because of this guy and he hasn't even been here for a week. How was I going to last the whole year with him here. I was suddenly bought out of my thoughts as Daene spoke again. "Seriously though you have to tell me wh- oh and there he is now. "She broke off. I glanced in the direction she had pointed to and sure enough he was there clad in black jeans, a tight white t-shirt that showed his abs and the stereotypical leather jacket. I won't lie he looked, Damn. Looked like the bad boy everyone claimed he was, which is why I needed to stay away from him. With that thought I quickly (well as quickly as I could in my 'condition') turned and limped off. I needed to avoid him for as long as possible. And something in me told me he wasn't going to back off and let me go that easily.

Oh how right I'd been.

He wasn't going to let this go at all. After successfully avoiding him the whole day which was hard on its own since we shared all most all of our classes. And the fact that he kept trying to talk to me, through out the day.I'd skilfully been able to dodge a conversation with him all day.

But right now he stood in front of me and he wasn't letting this go. I nervously glanced around us to see students staring probably wanting to see how this was going to play out. I looked back at him and he was staring straight at me, jaw clenched. "I need to go." I muttered nervously. He didn't flinch. In fact his jaw seemed to clench even more. "You've been avoiding me." He said not looking too happy about it. Probably just my imagination though. Why would he care that I was avoiding him?

"Grayson-" I tried again moving to go around him but he quickly blocked me. My body was burning in agonising pain. I'd taken another dose of pills during lunch and they were rapidly wearing off. "And you're still trying to avoid me."

"What's wrong Cupcake?" His voice considerably softened. "Was it something I did?"  He moved forward and I mirrored his actions by taking a step back. My resolve threatened to break. He was being so sweet. Nothing like the bad boy people spoke about.

We were outside the school and some of the students had begun to get in their cars. I scanned the lot for Stacey's car. I couldn't walk home like this, she was my ride home.

My breath hitched the same time my heart beat picked up. A shiver ran down my spine. My body froze just as my eyes locked with his. "Hey you okay, you just turned pale." Grayson said ,but right now my mind wasn't on him it was on the man leaning against his sleek black Jaguar, staring at me with a murderous look in his eye.
