Stuck On The Bad Boy

Chapter 1

     Maybe he'll notice me if.... ew stop.  I shook my head and paid attention to what the teacher was saying.  I couldn't help but stare at his figure by the window.  Jaxon Woods has been my crush for 4 months now.  He smile was newly polished pearls. He laughed and talked with his group of friends in the back of the class.  My eyes quickly caught sight of a beautiful butterfly flapping its wings.  

"Ms. Pierce, when was Romeo and Juliet written?" I turn to face my favorite teacher, Mrs. Brookes.  Everyone's eyes were on me, which made me nervous and start to sweat a little. 

 I mustered a smile, " Romeo and Juliet was written in 1662."  She gave me smile, 

" Correct" She said turning back to the board.

     I heard people whisper things like "Nerd" "Teacher's pet".  All I could do was roll my eyes.  It's funny how they thought those were insults, because I take those as compliments.  There is nothing wrong with being smart or the teacher having you as their favorite, those were advantages.  The bell rung and I quickly packed my things.  "Katherine and Jaxon. Please come over here before you guys leave" Mrs. Brookes called.  I walked up to her as she put her papers together for her next class.  

    " I wondering if you could help tutor Jaxon. He grades are starting to fall, and I wish the best for my students. Since you are my A+ student, would you be able to tutor- I don't need a tutor!" Jaxon cuts her off.  I looked at him with shock, that's disrespectful to cut a teacher off she is talking.  My middle schools teachers have drilled that into my head as they lectured the kids that were disrespectful.  

    I quickly turned my head to face her.  " As I was saying, would you be willing to tutor Mr. Woods if you have spare time?" She gave me a look that I knew that I would have to agree.  She always tells me to make more friends and talk more often. I look at Jaxon and he shakes his head telling me to say no.  " I wouldn't mind Mrs. Brookes. Though I have to tell my mom first to see if she is- oh I already called her and she was fine with it.  I'm glad that you agreed!"  I nodded as the bell rung.

    She wrote us passes and we ran out the door.  I was kinda glad that no one was in the hallways, so I could walk peacefully by Jaxon.  He had mostly all my classes with me, which I was glad for.  We walked quietly to gym, which was at the other side of the school.  He broke the silence with, " Give me your phone." I looked at him like he was crazy. "Why?" I said taking my phone out.  " Just in case if I cancel. I'll meet you in the library during resource, so we can plan out how you're going to tutor me." I nod and walked into the locker room.

~Gym~

     We were playing capture the flag, which was my favorite.  " Re-pick teams!" Mr. G yelled and everyone got in a big group.  " 2 Captains are Jaxon and Ryder. Jaxon goes first." The captains walked and stood in front of the group eyeing everyone.  ( People get chosen) Here I was with another nerd waiting to get picked.  Jaxon eyed both of us carefully.  "Katherine" he said smoothly.  My heart started to pound.  I quickly walked to his side.

    (Skips forward)

     The score is tied, 24-24.  We had 10 minutes left and everyone was rushing towards the flags trying to make their team win.  I was defending the flags.  I was keeping my eyes on Cindy who was by the cone.  Her eyes were moving from place to place, she kept calculating a plan of how she's gonna take the flag back to her side.  I wouldn't let her to get to the other side easily. 

     She started to run and I ran at her.  I reach my arm out to tag her, and next thing I know is pain.  I fell to the ground and held my right ankle which was in pain.  Everyone came rushing towards me.  I would careless about the attention, I was in pain and that was it.  I couldn't hold in the tears. " Katherine, are you alright? Can you walk?" Jaxon said holding my arm.  I shake my head.  

     He helped me up and the pain got worse.  I bit my lip trying not to cry anymore.  I'm glad that my long black hair was covering most of my face.  I didn't know what to do in this situation.  I would gladly let him carry me to the health office, but then I don't know if he would be able to carry me.  I wasn't your average skinny girl, I was 122 pounds.  I am pretty self conscious towards my body.  Before he could try to even think about carrying me, " Can you just walk me to the health office?".  He looked at my ankle and back at me.  

    We walked slowly to the health office. My heart was pounding hard and I was starting to sweat. I mostly tried putting my weight on to my left leg, and off of his body.  " Sorry, if I bothered you about taking me to the health office." I said as we reached the health office.  " It's not like I had a choice." he said coldly. Boi! I mentally said face palming.  " You did have a choice.  If you didn't want to help me come here, then you could've said so.  Sorry for wasting your time, you can leave now."  I said letting go of his arm.  I limped towards the chair to sit. 

     I sat down on the chair and looked straight.  In the corner of my eye, I watched him walk away without a second look.  Sometimes I wonder what I see in him, but then again why was he so attractive?
