Mr. Bad Boy (a Cole Sprouse Fanfic)

Chapter 16

~months later~ (sorry)

School was boring. As usual. I was currently sitting in 5th period, the last period of the day. I couldn't wait to get home, not like I was planning on doing anything special just because school is tiring. It's my second last year and honestly I can't wait for it to be all over. I'm thinking of going off to college but I'm still not too sure. I still haven't actually told Cole that I'm due to leave at the end of this year. Which is in about 4 months, it's pretty sad considering we've only been together for 5 months and we're going to part in 4.

I tried convincing my mum to just let me live here but the thought of me separated from her for a long time frightens her I guess. I don't know though.

I looked at my phone and saw we only had about 5 minutes left of this session so I put my stuff in my bag and patiently waited for the bell to go.

While I wait I messaged Cole to see what he's doing after school. I figured I should tell him in person about me leaving as it's the best thing to do.

As the bell went everyone had rushed out side, I stuck to the back of the rush to save my self the hassle of being bulldozed over by frantic teens all trying to exit out the door at the same time.

As I exited the class I was greeted by a very friendly face. Cole's.

"Hi gorgeous, what's the plans for today?" He said

"Hmmm I'm thinking smoothies and maybe an ice cream" I stated while giving him a small side hug.

"I like the way you think" Cole replied while swinging an arm around my shoulder.

"Oh and I have some bigg news to tell you" Cole added with a huge smile plastered on his face.

I wonder what it is. Cole's never been one to have big news, it's always mellow. In saying that I'm not implying he's a boring person but in that he usually tells me straight away or during mid conversation, not waiting till we get somewhere private.

We made our way to his car, passing many friendly faces along the way, I've grown so fond of this place and the people I've grown to know, it's just so sad that I'll be leaving this place soon. The car ride to small corner cafe was like usual, small chitter chatter, and laughing around.

We pulled up in the car pack of the cafe and walked inside. The cafe had become my new favourite place, it had white walls with one yellow feature wall that had small inspiring quotes on it, along the white walls where painting hung around, there was lots of
Plants, I when I saw lots... I mean LOTS. Fake ones, real ones, small, big, tall, ones that hang, vines that climb. It's what I liked most about it, being in the cafe made me feel so happy, art is my favourite thing to look at, and then to top it off with plants around the place just made the place seem cosy. The tables where small and made
Of a light coloured wood with the chairs to match.

I would come here on my lazy days majority of the time, order a coffee and a couple slices of banana bread and just get stuck into a book. If there's one thing I'm going to miss most... is the vibe this place gave me every time I was inside... and of course I'll miss Cole and Talia as well.

Me and Cole sat on a corner table and ordered our usual.

"Sooo what's the big news" I asked like some child who was about to receive a gift.

"Okay SO... you know my mums boyfriend?" He started.

"Jimmy!" I contributed.

"Yes wellllll" he dragged on. "He proposed to my mum the other night!" His face lit up so much,

I've never seen Cole more happy before. He never really new his actual dad, he left as soon as he found out his mum was pregnant with him, Jim came into the picture when Cole was about 2, ever since he had been a fatherly figure to Cole.

"Oh my gosh that's so amazing!" I replied.

"Yeah well the wedding is in late September, which means you have about 5 and a half months to find a dress!-

My heart sunk... the rest of his sentence sort of blurred to the background, I'm going to have to convince my mum to let me stay another 2 months and who even knows if she'll let me.

"-so what do you think?" He said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"I-I would love to be there! Really"

"So what was it that you wanted to say?" He asked while taking a bite of his carrot cake.

"Oh.. me.. uh. I started a new book!" I said nervously while reaching into my bag and pulling out my book I had in there at the time.

"Counting by 7s?... hm what's it about" he asked.

"Ohhh you want me to get right into detail hey... welllllll I'll give you a little run down of the basic gist so basically it's like a moving middle grade novel about being an outsider, coping with loss, and discovering the true meaning of family she's like a 12 year old who faces a tragic event and learns to grow from it.. a really good book actually"

"You're such a dork" he said while scrunching up his nose and smiling. "But that's why I love you"

I-I LOVE YOU? He foreal just dropped the L word? The Cole Sprouse.

Wow I'm in love.

"I love you too"
