Fatal Lies [#wattys2018]

Ch.4||The Popular Bad Boy

Dedicated to ari_moon_sisi

He sat lazily on his seat, his hands hanging loosely beside him. He had golden locks and the perfect set of jawline.Then he smiled at something the boy with glasses said and my heart skipped a beat. God I don't even know him, I shouldn't be feeling this way.
I diverted my glance back to Freya "Who are they", I asked nodding my head at their direction. " They look like the oddest group of friends ".
" Oh only the hottest group of boys in school apart from the jocks of course ", she said blushing. " But don't waste your time, all of them are taken ".
" Taken as in... ", I said. " In a relationship? Yeah", Freya said smiling. "That's Brandon Arreaga with glasses and his girlfriend Charlotte Dean, the one with blond long hair is Austin Porter and the girl beside him is Fiffany Lu his girlfriend".
" The cute one is Edwin Honoret with his girlfriend Tiffany Bondoc and the short one is Nick Mara and his girlfriend Alexys Cruz", she continued pointing them out.
"And the tall one", I asked as we sat on a table. " Oh that's Zion...Zion Kuwonu the only single member of the group right now and schools popular bad boy " , she said throwing a fry into her mouth. "But don't push your luck, he doesn't date, the last one was a disaster".
Her expression told me it was surely a disaster. " How come I haven't seen him or the others since Monday ", I asked. " You told me you only found your way to class by Thursday so I'm guessing you just didn't see them because you were too busy trying not to get lost", she said, still eating.

I picked up a fry and popped it into my mouth. Out of curiosity I turned and looked again at their table, more specifically at Zion.It happened too fast, one moment he was laughing and the next he turned and looked straight at me. I looked away quickly trying to make it seems like I hadn't been staring. "Is he still looking", I asked under my breath at Freya, who was talking about something which I didn't quite catch. " W-hat? Who!? ", she said looking around. " There's no one staring at you Angelica ".
Phew, I blew out a sight as I started to dig into my lunch.

I checked my schedule to make sure I was heading the right way. Double period Biology. No wonder,  I was gonna ask the lady at the reception why I didn't have Biology from Monday up till now.My schedule told me the teacher taking us for biology would be Mrs. Holf.

I walked in and went straight to her desk in front of the classroom and put down the paper I've been carrying to classes for teachers to sign. "Ah! Miss Crestwood, I've been looking forward to meeting you, straight A student", She smiled looking down at a file that was obviously mine." Good, good take a seat".
I sat down on one of the  available seat in the middle,seeing as while I was busy talking to Mrs. Holf,the majority of the students had already filled into the classroom.
"Alright class take-" the teacher didn't finish her sentence yet and the door swung open and in strolled Zion looking all bored and dusted. "Mr.Kuwonu glad you could join us being that you are late", she pointed out sarcastically. Zion just grunted and took a seat at the back of the class.

The teacher began again and lessons started.Through out the lesson I couldn't help but notice several girls giving him to eye but he seem unaware of his surroundings as he was busy staring into space.
Mrs. Holf set down some question papers for us to work on. I looked down and saw that this was basic biology, we covered most of the topic already so I didn't mind taking my time to do it.
"Mr.Kuwonu would you please stop dreaming and work on the paper in front of you", Mrs. Holf's annoyed voice came from her desk. I turned and caught a smirk playing on his lips as he tried to hide his laugh. He slumped more lazily and and gave a dramatic sight looking at the classroom ceiling.
" That's it!Out!Get out", Mrs Holf's angry voice came from the front. Her face was red and puffy, I could imagine steam coming out of her like in those cartoons, I tried my hardest to hide the laugh bubbling up my throat. "I will not tolerate such behavior in my class, Out! And wait in the principles office".

Zion stood up smirking and made his way out the door.
I shook my head and went back to my paper.
Lessons ended soon after and I found myself following Freya to the school library. The school library was located at the left wing of the school,one word to describe it. Huge. It had stacks and stacks of books that piled up but were very neatly stacked.
I loved books, they gave me a sense of belonging.
Freya and I found a table and sat down. I went looking for a book historical events of the 18th and 19th century while she went looking for Something about the chemical formulas of some gas. I return soon after with a book I found and started on the essay.

It was almost 5pm when Freya and I made our way out of the school building. Something caught my eyes and I looked to the side. Zion stood with his back against the wall, his hands in his pockets. A car came out of nowhere and pulled to a stop in front of him, he hopped in and the car sped away.
"Doesn't he drive", I asked curiously. " Yeah he does, he owns a Volvo, but sometimes random people drop him off and pick him up like today ", Freya said gesturing to the place where the car had just stopped and left. " Rumor has it he's in a gang of some sort ".I just nodded and followed her to her car.

But I couldn't stop thinking about him.He was so bad, he basically lived up to his name.  but I wondered how he was friends with the other boys he was sitting with. I swear they were a odd combination of friends, how could someone so bad be friends with people like them who seem so nice.
Odd right?
