The Bad Boy and the British Girl

The Boy In My Room

Authors note: Hello again! This is the third chapter, again I'm changing the POV back to Elizabeth because I think it keeps it more interesting having different views on the situations and shows who the characters are!

Elizabeth Baker's POV:

In the boys' failed attempt to annoy me, I in fact infuriated them. Stealing whoever that new guy is remote has made me feel surprisingly proud and happy. I am not sure why, but I feel so good that I just took action rather than putting my head down and getting on with life. I text Charlie right away telling her what's been happening.

Elizabeth: Oh my god, new neighbour has made friends with your brother and his accessories. God help me;( xx

Charlie: You poor poor thing, at least they're away from me though;) anyway what's new neighbour boy like? xx

Elizabeth: Annoying? Egotistical? He's definitely going to be a man whore. He's got that look about him, apparently thinks I'm hot though...xx

Charlie: Ah shame. But he thinks your hot? Do you think he is? ARE YOU FINALLY GOING TO HAVE SOME BOY ACTION LIZ?? xx

Elizabeth: Oh god no, no no no. He was just trying to do what your brother and that lot do, it's bloody annoying. But if he is blind enough to think I'm hot then god knows what he will think of you<3;) xx

Charlie: What are you on about? You are SMOKIN' Liz! Completely and utterly, there's no wonder every boy tries to hit on you, it's just shocking that you haven't had a boyfriend ever because of how good you look! xx

Elizabeth: Oh. God. Please shut up;) they just started playing music seriously loud so I stole the neighbours speaker remote :/ xx

Charlie: Damn you go girl, standing up against those meanies;) ugh I think they are walking back here now, speak to you laterrr xx

Elizabeth: Have fun;) I won't be late tomorrow...I hope;) xx

After locking my phone and opening the window a crack to let a breeze in. I hide the remote under my mattress, I flick my lamp off and snuggle under the duvet. The heat from my legs quickly makes it cosy under my covers, so I drift pretty fast into the world of dreams...

I awake to a loud crash on one side of my room. I jolt up and turn my lamp on, I look to where the sound came from and see no one. But I do see the door to my en suit bathroom creaked open, I always shut my bathroom door because I don't like waking up to open doors. Much like now actually, so I know someone is in there. I climb quickly and nimbly out of my bed, hopping towards my bathroom door careful as to not make a sound. I swiftly turn the light on in my bathroom and burst through the door, welcomed by another crash and a small scream.

"Shit. Shit. Shit! Oh god you weren't meant to find me in here..." says the culprit in a hushed yell.

"Well what the hell are you doing in here anyway?! This is my room and my bathroom you pervert! What are you doing?!" I demanded in the same hushed yell.

"I was looking for my remote okay? That speaker system cost a shit ton of money and it's useless seeing as you took the fucking remote!" Exclaims the boy from next door, trying to put back what he's knocked down.

"Well you should have just turned it down when I asked! I asked politely and you pissed me off further, you asked for it! Maybe if you had just asked for it back I would've given it back! But now you're breaking into my room?!" I said, in a louder and more annoyed tone than last time.

"You came into my room! You can't say much and you stole from me!" He whispered harshly back to me walking closer towards me.

"You weren't asleep! I was! And I didn't steal it! I took it with every intention of giving it back! Also you watched me take it from your hand, so I didn't steal it I simply borrowed without asking!" I say defensively as I move out of my bathroom, backing away. The boy from next door is nearing closer and closer with a more infuriated look upon his face with every step. "If anyone is going to be annoyed it should be me! Now get the hell out of my room! I don't appreciate you being in here whilst I'm trying to sleep!" I spit back as he neared closer again.

"Just give me my remote and I'll leave!" He reasoned, again stepping closer.

"Not until you promise not to purposefully try and annoy me again! I don't need it right now!" I say as I stop moving back, he looks at me in shock, I assume most people become terrified of him when he tries to corner them. But I decide to stand my ground, it's my room for chrissakes.

"Fine, I won't do it again, now give me my remote you bitch!" He echoes, despite the hushed tone.

"Call me that again and I'll smash your remote on the floor. My name is Elizabeth!" I say, crossing my arms and staring directly into his apple green eyes...no! Don't get distracted, he's just a boy being annoying, my god control yourself Elizabeth!

"You wouldn't dare?!" He questions, suspicion caking his response and a hint of fear.

"Try me." I say sternly, staring right at him, straightening my back. Only now I realise he is inches away from my face, towering down above me.

"Fine. I'm sorry I called you a bitch and I promise not to annoy you purposefully again. Now can I please have my remote back?" He says with disgust, but pleading all the same.

"Okay. Sure." I say with a sly smile on my face. I've won this time and stood my ground for the second time. I go towards my bed and lift up the mattress, trying not to show my struggle with the king sized mattress. I stretch my arm out underneath fumbling for the remote, my hand finally grabs at it and I clamp my fist around it. I drop the mattress with my other hand a hold the remote out to the boy from next door. Now realising I don't actually know his name. As he tried to grab for the remote, I pull it back quickly.

"First, what's your name?" I ask, suspiciously.

"Zach Graye, the one and only!" He exclaims proudly, holding a hand to his chest. My god his chest, rock hard, defined abs...what can't a girl a reasonably attractive boy?

"Well Graye, here is your remote and would you please exit my bedroom." I say passing him the remote and gesturing towards the window. He snatches the remote off me and hops onto the window sill, turning back with a smirk and looks down towards me legs.

"Nice knickers kitten." He remarks, winking cheekily as he jumps back to his window sill and into his room. Damn! I forgot I didn't wear my shorts to bed, ugh! At least they're reasonably classy knickers, rather than my pink Hello Kitty ones. God knows what my hair looks like right now...My god how will I survive with this boy next door to me! I groan as I slam my window shut and reach for my phone.

Elizabeth: Neighbour just broke into my room whilst I was sleeping for his remote! Weirdo. I gave it back to him and in return he commented on my knickers...but at least I know his name now xx

Charlie: What a weirdo! Why didn't he just ask tomorrow! It's one thing going into your room whilst you're awake, but sleeping? God you must be exhausted. Anyway what's his name? xx

Elizabeth: I know, I'm so tired. And it's Zach Graye "the one and only" xx

Charlie: Lord, help that boy's ego, it needs reduction surgery! Anyway I'll leave you to sleep. DON'T BE LATE TOMORROW! G'night xx

I lock my phone for the second time that evening and crawl back under my covers and drift back off to sleep, not looking forward to the next day of school...
