In Love With The Bad Boy

Chapter One: I'm Back In Town

Driving back from New York to Sinsville Kentucky is a long drive. Especially when your nine year old brother is ready to get out of the car half way threw it.

I open the trunk of my dads CRV and grab my three blue Chevron bags. I roll them into the house and into my room. 'It smells like a forest.' I put my bags on my bed and start to unpack.

~30 minutes later~

I put my bags in my closet and flops on my bed. "Home sweet home." I flop on my side and see my guitar. "It's still here." I stand up and grab my guitar. I strum a few notes and the good times come flowing back like a hurricane.

"EMMA! YOU HAVE A VISITOR!" My mom loves to yell across the house. I set my guitar down and grab my phone and run downstairs. I immediately recognize who is at the door.

"Alicia!" I throw my phone on the couch and run up to hug her.

"Emma! Your back!" She gives the best hugs and we stay there for a while. We finally separate and we head up to my room. I grab my phone and throw the door shut. "So! How are you and James?" I smile. James is my boyfriend from before I went to New York. We have been dating for a year and a half now.

"I've talked to him everyday and he's taking me to dinner tonight." Alicia smiles hugely. I shake my head happily. Alicia and I have been best friend since the third grade. We are on our second year of high school at Sinsline High School.

"Your super late in school. You know that right?" I was hoping she wouldn't bring that up.

"I-I know. I'll work on it. I'll figure it out. Is couch still letting me on the team?" She nods.

"Couch said he wouldn't drop you for anyone. Also. We have a competition in four weeks." My eyes widen.

"Why so soon? And your spending the night right?"

"He thinks we are ready and yeah I am. I'm driving us to school tomorrow. Remember?" A laugh slips and I slap her arm playfully.

"Yes I remember and thanks for this by the way."

"No problem. It's getting late so I'm gonna go get my stuff and text me when you get back from you date."

"Okay I'll walk you down." She grabs her phone and charger and we walk downstairs. She hugs me and walks outside to her red convertible.

I wait for her to get in and drive off before I close the door and walk upstairs. I put on a red shirt dress and braid my hair over my shoulder. I do red eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and mascara and my skin shimmer. I don't do much but it's enough. My phone rings and I pick it up.

E-"Hello."
J-"Hey I'm on my way. Is that okay?"
E-"Yeah. Just honk when you get here."
J-"I love you. See you soon."
E-"love you too. Bye."

  I hang up and put my phone on the charger. I lay in my bed and look up at the ceiling. A smile appears when I see what James and I did the first time he came over. We wrote "J + E =Forever and Always." That's what we always say. 'I love him.' I stare at the ceiling letting time pass by without knowledge.

~15 minutes later~

I wake up from my trance when I hear a truck honk. "My knight and shinning armor is here." I laugh at myself and grab my purse and phone and walk downstairs.
