The New Girl

Like Me

"Wait." Jordan says, pulling away. "You've had a drink Hayley, I can't do this."

"Why? Don't you like me?"

"I do." He replies, taking my hands in his. "Trust me I do. I just don't want to take advantage of you."

"It's a kiss Jordan, I'm not easy, even when I'm drunk." I tell him.

"I know but still." He sighs.

The next morning Jordan wakes me up, handing me water, toast and aspirin. "Eat, swallow, drink." He orders.

"What if I want to drink first?" I question with a smirk.

"Cute." He eye rolls before grabbing some clothes off the back of his sofa and heading into the bathroom.

I eat the toast, take the tablet and wash it down with some water before Jordan comes back in the room. "Why'd you wake me so early?" I question.

"School." Jordan replies.

"Ugh." I sigh, getting up and rummaging through my bag.

"So um, do you remember last night?" Jordan asks.

"It takes a lot for me to get drunk Jordan so yes I remember kissing you if that's what you're asking." I reply, grabbing a set of clothes. "And no I do not regret it."

"Ew!" Amelia shrieks from the doorway. "You two had-"

"No!" I exclaim. "Jordan was just a good friend, he give me a place to stay for the night."

"Family kick you out because you're a murderer?" She question with a pout.

"I'm not a murderer." I snap. "Yet. Keep talking and that'll change."

"Whatever. I can't wait to tell people, this will be class A gossip." She smiles.

"You tell anyone about this and I'll release a secret of yours that's twice as embarrassing." Jordan says to her.

"Jordan you're my brother! My twin! You should be one my side!" She exclaims.

"You forget that I don't like you." He says.

She stomps her foot before storming out the room and slamming the door behind her.

"Thanks." I smile, heading towards the door of the ensuite. "I should change."

"Wait." He sighs. "I really like you Hayley but if you're not into me then-"

"What gave you that impression?" I scoff.

"You just called me a 'good friend'"

"That was to Amelia, we tell her anything and it'll be all around school." I laugh.

"Don't you want people to know?"

"Right now you probably don't want to be associated with me, after all I am Lauren's killer." I explain with sarcasm in my voice as I enter the bathroom.

"Hayley-" he's cut off by me shutting the door and changing into my new clothes before coming back out again.

As soon as I walk out the door Jordan grabs my hips and pulls me up so that my legs are around his waist, a small scream escapes my lips. "You scared me." I tell him, letting out a breath.

"Sorry." He smiles, carrying me over to the bed and dropping me down.

"What about school?" I ask with a laugh.

"What's that?" He questions, pecking my lips over and over.

"That thing you seem to of forgotten." I laugh.

"Jordan come on!" Amelia yells from downstairs.

"Find your own way!" He calls down to her.

"You're a douche!" She whines.

"Jordan I need to get ready." I sigh.

"Lime whah? You already look fine."

"Brush my hair." I answer.

"Time to go!" Another female voice calls from downstairs. "Take your sister!"

"Who's that?"

"My mom."

I brush my hair before walking down the stairs with Jordan, then I get in a car with him and the witch.
