I look up and see Taylor, that same infamous smirk plastered on his face. I rolled my eyes and looked down at my hands, fiddling with them.

whether I said yes or no Taylor was going to sit there anyways so I really saw no use.

ms. Miller assigned us to paint something that had to do with nature. after getting paint, paintbrushes, and some paper I sat back down at my table and began to paint a sunflower.

"oops excuse me." nash sarcastically says, purposely bumping into me and making me mess up on my painting.

angry, I crumpled up the painting and started again.

they repeated this action about twice more when if finally had enough. I got a good glob of paint on my brush, turned around, and splattered it on all three of the boys.

they all stood there, mouths agape as I laughed.

"revenge sucks doesn't it?" I smirked.

"look what you did to my shirt!" Cameron wailed, paint all over his white t shirt.

I smiled and sat back down, proud of myself.

sooner or later it was time to clean up so I carried my palette of paint and paintbrushes to the sink to wash them off.

as I was rinsing the brushes, Taylor walked up beside me, turning up the water faucet causing the water to splash everywhere.

I screamed as I became soaking wet from the water.

he tried to continue turning up the pressure and I put my hand on his to try and fight back. before I knew it, the metal knob popped off the faucet and water started flooding everywhere. luckily I got away in time so I wasn't as wet, whereas Taylor got just as soaked as I was.

I laughed at him and got my things together just in time for the bell to ring. as I was about to exit the classroom Taylor whispered something in my ear.

"this isn't the only time I'll be making you wet." I tensed up at his words and he felt it and let out a throaty laugh before shoving past me and walking with his friends down the hall.

as I headed to fifth period all I thought about was how this year was going to be interesting.

***

after fifth period ended it was time for the final period of the day, sixth.

I was in a particularly good mood because I had fifth period with malorie and Malia. out of the boys, only carter, Taylor, and Matt. thankfully Taylor didn't harass me this period, but he did keep sending me winks and smirks from across the room.

I entered my sixth period history and took a look around the room. once I took a seat I saw shawn enter the room, taking a seat next to me.

I had never really had a problem with shawn, even though he was part of the jocks. he was always nice to me for some reason, sticking up for me when the boys would pick on me, even though the boys would make fun of him for it afterward.

Shawn and Malia have liked each other for quite some time now, which I thought was really cute. it's funny how both of my best friends have a lover and I don't. but I decided I don't need a man in my life, this year I'm just gonna focus on school and basketball.

I'm glad I had this period with Shawn and only shawn, that meant I wasn't going to be harassed or violated and I could just chill for a good 55 minutes.

"hey Ava. how's your first day so far?" he smiled at me.

"pretty good, you?" I returned the smile.

"it's alright." he replied.

"good afternoon everyone, I am mr. jones and I'll be teaching you history this year. to start I'm asking you all to take out a sheet of paper and pencil, because we will be taking some notes."

***

i made my way to my locker once the final bell rang signaling school was out. after gathering all my things I closed the locker door to see Taylor.

"hey there hot stuff. I never got your number?"

"maybe because I wasn't planning on giving it to you." I said bluntly.

"well can I get it?" he asked, following me as I started walking to the parking lot.

I stopped walking and turned to face him.

"the answer is no, it's always been, and it always will be." I turned back around and continued walking.

"whatever, you're not worth it anyway!" he called after me.

ignoring his comment I got in my car and drove home.

once I got home I went up to my room and changed into some yoga shorts and a comfy t shirt. after throwing my hair up in a messy bun I went downstairs and into the kitchen.

I searched the fridge for a snack and as usual, it was bare.

sighing, I grabbed an apple and headed back upstairs to start my homework.

about thirty minutes later I heard a knock on my door downstairs.

"that's weird, mom should still be at work and if she got off early she would have a key." I thought to myself.

the knocking became more rapid and frequent and I started to become nervous.

grabbing a baseball bat from my closet, I opened the door, ready to swing at someone.

"woah woah woah!" Taylor yelled, surrendering his hands up in the air.

I let out a deep breath I had been holding in.

"Jesus Taylor you scared the shit out of me! what the hell are you doing at my house?" I yelled.

how did he even find my address?

maybe he followed me home..?

"what do you want?" I said rudely, stepping out on the porch and closing the front door behind me.

he took a step forward and backed me against the door. he traced his hands up and down my sides as he started planting kisses on my neck.

"I want you." he whispered.

I attempted to push him off me, but he was too strong.

"let me take you on a date." he said, still kissing my neck.

"no way. I'm not letting you play me like those other girls."

"how do you know I'm gonna play you, how do you know I don't actually have feelings for you?" he stopped kissing me and looked into my eyes.

I was taken aback by what he said. I never saw Taylor settling down with someone, nonetheless me.

"well do you?" I asked, a serious tone in my voice.

there was a long pause before he responded.

"maybe. I really want to take you out."

"I'll think about it." I said dryly, pushing him off my chest as I started to go back inside.

"well can I at least get your number?" he asked innocently.

"hmmmm." I thought.

"no." I smiled and slammed the door in his face, leaving him alone and confused.
