More Than Just a Bad Boy

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Ryder's POV

I opened my eyes a week since I last talked to Brooke (when she laughed at me). "What a freaky dream..." I muttered. I don't know what's freakier; I knew Michelle's name, I admitted to Dream Alex that Brooke is the most beautiful name, or Alex died. I'd have to say the first two are the freakiest.

ME: I HAD A DREAM ABOUT U

ALEX: SORRY BABE. ITS ONLY A DREAM. I DONT ACTUALLY DO ANAL LIKE THAT. IM STRAIGHT

Oh, Alex. He's got a big ego but a little dick.

ME: -_- U WISH U COULD HAVE ME. ANYWAYS, A CAR HIT U AND U DIED

ALEX: GOOD THING IT WASNT UR PRECIOUS BROOKEY-WOOKEY, HUH? ;)

ME: BROOKEY-WOOKEY? REALLY? -_- IDEK KNO HER, LET ALONE LIKE HER

ALEX: U LIKE HER AND WE ALL KNO IT

How do they know something that I don't even know? That doesn't even make sense, fucktards.

ME: WHOS WE?

ALEX: DEREK, WRILEY, MITCHIE, KD & LANI. EVERYONE CEPT U AND BROOKE

Who's Lani? Is that Wriley's girl? And who the fuck is KD?

ME: FUCK U DUDE. I DONT LIKE HER AND NEVER WILL. REMEMBER? I HUMP AND DUMP BRO. I HAVENT EVEN TALKED TO HER FOR EXACTLY A WEEK ANYWAYS

It has been one hell of a week. Starting off, it's my first week at a new school and all though I'm The Bad Boy, I would still like a little friend security, you know? Second of all, I haven't been able to hang out with Derek because he's always with this really hot girl who's always with Brooke and Michelle and...Lani? I can tell Derek likes her and I can tell she likes him. I think everyone can. Everyone but them. Idiots. Wait-maybe that's KD. Oh, and guess what else. Blondie won't leave me alone! We fucked a couple of days after my first day here and she's acting like I stole her virginity. Damn, slut. You're only good for one thing. I've done it, now leave!

ALEX: I TOLD U, IM STRAIGHT! EXACTLY A WEEK? U NEVER CARE IF A GIRL TALKS TO U OR NOT BECUZ U ALWAYS HAVE A DIFFERENT ONE. AND NOW U KNO THE EXACT DATE? U LIKE HER BRO

That's not true. It can't be. Not at all. Nope. Nada.

"Mr. Williams, you are now in all AP classes, the regular ones are too easy for you. Here's your new schedule," my teacher said. Great, now I'm in classes full of nerds.

I walked to room 209 and opened the door. "Are you Ryder Williams?" The old woman pointed to a two-person table next to none other than Brooke Bray. How cliché? Hehe, that rhymed.

"Hey babe," I decided to suck it up and just talk to her. So what if she laughed at me and rejected my ride offer? What do I care? "I'm giving you a ride after school."

Brooke whipped her head around to look at me. "One, I'm not your "babe" so don't call me that. Two, you can't tell me what to do. And three, why would I want to ride with you?"

Ouch.

"Everyone does, babe," I winked.

Brooke flipped me off and snarled, "Fuck you."

I smirked. "Okay, when and whee?"

She gave me a look full of disgust. "You have serious problems if you think that's what I meant and would actually want do it with you."

Ouch. Again.

I feigned hurt and put a hand over my heart. "That hurts, but I know you want to." She does, right?

"I don't. Stop flattering yourself." And those were the last words Brooke said to me in class. No matter how hard I tried to get her to talk to me, she wouldn't. I whispered comments to her about Mrs. Haglesbee, poked her for literally five minutes straight, wrote her a bunch of notes, and threw little, balled up, torn pieces of paper at her. Nothing. She did nothing. It was as of I wasn't even there. How rude!? Yeah, I watch Full House. What can I say? It's like the best show ever.

"Before you leave, Mrs. Luno, your science teacher," Mrs. Haglesbee looked at me when she said that, "forgot to tell you, so I'm here to break the news. You have a project due in two weeks and your partner is the person sitting next you now." How cliché my life seems right now.

I turned to Brooke and saw that her hands were sitting on the tabletop clenched. Am I really that bad?

"Can I give you a ride to my house now?" I asked.

If looks could kill, I'd drop dead right now, and all credit would go to Brooke. She gave a curt nod yes and I smirked.

We're gonna have fun tonight. I'll prove her wrong. She does want me.
