The Bad Boy [Carter Reynolds]

The bad boy (9)

"So what did you do yesterday?" I heard Kayla's voice as I picked on my food. Uninterested in talking with her. With anyone actually.

My mind was only thinking about Carter and how his words hurt my feelings. I couldn't stop thinking about it and it only made it worse when Matt and Carter joins the conversation as they sat down, putting the lunch trail on the circle table. The trail was full of all kinds of different food, and I sometimes wonder how they both stay so in shape while eating all off this.

"Uhm..nothing much" I shrugged, staring down at my salad. I could feel Carter's eyes on me but I ignored it.

"And, you?" I ask and finally meet her gaze. She actually put effort in her appearance today unlike me, something I should've thought of. Again. She had short blonde curls, which I always thinks looks cute on her. A loose black thank top with denim shorts. I had a normal old sweat shirt and some ripped up denim shorts.

"Well..spent the day with Matt all day, and you should've seen what he did. He just randomly smack cam a stranger and he got really angry so we both had to run away! And and--" she raised her voice in excitement. "-We almost got caught stealing candy" she said excited, and I saw a grin on Matthew's face when I glance up at him.

"Sounds fun" I said trying to sound excited ass possible.

"What about you Carter?" She asks, and we all look at Carter. Our eyes met, because he was already looking at me.

"Nothing much me either" he said, while I look at him suspiciously. He gave me a half smirk, and I quickly looked down pretending like nothing is going on. Kayla looked confused back and forth by me and Carter, before she dramatically sigh.

"You guys are so boring" she finally sigh, taking a sip from her orange juice.

I avoid his stare as I eat my food, and continued talking to Matt and Kayla like nothing ever happened. But I could catch him stare at me often and it just annoyed me. He always smirked at me, not a cute romantic smirk but a evil bad smirk, that always makes my stomach turn.

*******

"What's up with you and Carter?" Matt asks as we made our way to our last class which was gym.

"Nothing, why do you ask?" I said in a casual tone.

"It's easy to see that you both have ignored each other all day" he said, as I looked down still walking by his side.

I love Matt. He's always so supporting and can easily see what's going on around. He's one of my closest friends except Kayla. He's actually the only one that really understands me.

"Well.." I sigh. "We kind of got in a little fight, but it's no big deal so don't worry"

"You sure? He seems pretty upset"

"Just let him be, he will get over it" I sigh as we still continued walking in the hallway.

"Okay..just let me know if something's up, you'll know I'll always be here for you. I haven't known Carter for long but he can be a jerk sometimes, but I know deep deep down in him, he's a cool guy" he said while a comforting smile creeps on his face.

Oh

I love that smile.

I sigh and take a huge breath to let all the words in. His words always helps me feel better, and all I want to do is give him a big papa bear hug. And that's what I'll do.

I give him a big smile when he holds his arms out with a big grin on his face. I quickly wrap my arms around him and he holds me in his embrace. We continued walking together in the hall looking like cuddle buddies that don't give a fuck.

"What would I do without you" I mumbled in his thick hoodie, while he just smiled and kept his arms tight around me, comforting and warming me.
