Rude Boy

Chapter 2

"Was that really necessary Aaliyah?", yelled Riley as we walked into class.

We sat near the back of the classroom and set out our things.

"Uh, yes", I said turning to her.

She sat down and turned towards me.

"Those guys were super hot. First of all, Afro boy was so checking you out and he tried to flirt with you, and second of all, the other two boys were checking Naomi and I out too", she explained to me.

"I figured, since I saw him looking down rather than looking at my face", I said.

"Alright class welcome back to your last year of high school. I'm Mr.Darwin. Toda-", he was interrupted by the loud door slam. In walked a person I was hoping not to not see for the rest of the year.

"Mr.Brook I see that you're late on the first day huh", Mr.Darwin said.

"But I showed up anyways didn't I?", the boy with the Afro answered.

"Well go find a seat and let's start the activity for today" said Mr.Darwin.

Boy was he rude? That's the bad aroma I was talking about. My bad boy radar was acting up.

All the girls in class started fixing themselves up and puckered their lips as he looked around the class for a spot. I saw there was a spot beside queen bee Jessica. She waved her hand in the air to catch his attention.

"Please sit beside Jessica, please sit beside Jessica", I whispered to myself as I crossed my fingers. I hoped that he didn't see me.

He was looking around the class probably for a spot to sit. I told Riley to keep her head down so he won't come near us, but she didn't seem to have cleaned her ears today, as she ignored me and held her head high. Riley had to make sure she made eye contact with him.

"Riley keep quiet" I whisper/yelled at her.

"There's an empty seat beside Aaliyah, sir", said Riley.

That little snake.

I sighed louder than I was supposed too, and the whole class started laugh. Why couldn't he sit beside Jessica? No he had to sit beside me out of all people.

He walked down the isle of desks and plopped his stuff on the table beside me and he sat down.

"I guess we meet once again, on this fine Monday morning. Your wish didn't come true now did it?".

I turn to Riley who was trying so hard to hold in her laugh that was waiting to burst out. I turned around back to the teacher to actually pay attention to the lesson, but in the corner of my eyes I see Afro boy/doofus looking at me.

"Take a picture it lasts longer" I said to him, still keeping my eyes on the teacher.

He laughed and actually took his damn phone out and took a picture. I looked at him with the 'are you stupid' look.

"Hey you said to take a picture, so I took it. Couldn't miss an opportunity like this", he said as he smirked.

I shook my head.

"Okay class, today I'm giving you your first assignment for this week and you are going to be doing it in pairs" Mr.Darwin announced.

The class started to call out their friends for partners, started to give high fives to each other. Riley and I turned to each other and I guess we were both about to ask the same question, until he said,

"I will be picking your partners" everyone become quiet. Cheers turned into groans of disappointment, and I was one of them.

"Here are the pairs.
Jessica and Brian,
Mikayla and Josh,
Maddie and Riley,
Alana and..." and so on until I heard two names that I didn't want to hear ever.

"And lastly Ian and Aaliyah" he finished.

Someone hit me right now. Was he actually serious?

I'm paired with stupid Afro boy who's name I now learned was Ian. I am pretty sure when we actually do the assignment he wasn't going to do shit. So in the end, I would have to all the work.

Great.

"Your so lucky. You got paired up with Mr.Hottie over there" said Riley pouting and pointing to Ian.

I looked at this man and he was fast asleep, with his head resting on his hand, and there was only 5 minutes left till class was finish.

"Me lucky? I wish I had girl as a partner ,like you, instead of this dipshit" I responded as I packed my stuff.

Class was dismissed by the teacher and Riley and I were walking towards the door. Before we left I had 'accidentally' knocked down the hand Ian was sleeping on. I quickly pushed Riley out the door for us to go to second period. We laughed at Ian cursing to himself about his head hurting.

I'm so nice.

Lunch time, oh how I love lunch time.

I walked into the cafeteria and into the line. It was subway Monday and boy, was I starving. I picked two subs, a water bottle, a bag of chips and an apple. I look around to cafeteria and find Naomi, Riley and Chantel sitting close to the window so I made my way over there.

As I walk I feel a pair of eyes following me. It was Jessica.

"Yes, may I help you?" I asked her when I passed her table.

"I didn't ask you anything ugly. I was just wondering why Ian went and sat beside you In English today, and how he's your partner for our assignment. I mean like I'm so pretty and your'e not." She said in her high pitched barbie voice.

Her table started to laugh and agree with her.

"Maybe he was just allergic to fake people like you. I mean you did get a fake boob job after all", I mocked her.

They all became quiet and she had a scowling look on. That better put her in place.

I sat down at the table and dug into my food. All that talking made me hungry.

"Hey I met this new hot guy in my science class today. And he asked for number today", said an excited Chantel.

"It was probably for the assignment we have to do in science class Chantel", said Naomi with food in her mouth.

"No, I think he likes me because he wants to hang out sometime", she explained.

"If you say so...".

"Did you know that Aaliyah got paired up with a guy in English. It was the one from this morning, his name is Ian. He's so hot and was totally hitting on her" said Riley, "but she ignored him the whole time".

"No, he was being an asshole" I said finishing my food. Chantel was confused so, I explained to her what happened.

We put our trash away and made our way to the exit. Naomi points out the group of boys staring at us as we walked.

I look in the direction she was pointing at and it was the one and only Ian, along with his boys. Just as we look they turned back around.

"That the guy in the blue v-neck who asked for my number" said Chantel, smiling. It was one of the guys who was with Ian from this morning. We made it to the exit and to our locker, and continued went to fourth period.

I laughed, was a picture not enough?
