Bad Boys are Overrated

Chapter 9: New school adventures

The next day at school I was hoping to just walk in and be able to avoid my new 'friends'.
Boy was I wrong.
As soon as I thought I was in the clear in front of my locker I felt two strong arms pull me into a hug,"CARTER-ITA!!!", I heard Ricky scream. I flinched from the sudden noise that penetrated my now shattered ear drums and then very awkwardly stood there as my body was engulfed with Ricky's. "Hi Ricky, where's Nicky?", I asked. "Oh well you see apparently every fucking senior has a car now and parking space is limited so we decided why bring both Sam and Alexis to school? Might as well carpool and share. It's like the womb all over again". I laughed as I saw Nicky coming inside the front entrance, flustered as he walked towards Ricky and I . "Hey Carter-ita, sorry I'm late, had to park the old Sam ". I looked at the twins, and then they proceeded to share glances with each other."What?", they said in unison, both equally confused as to why I was looking at them. "I thought Ricky was kidding... you guys actually named your cars Sam and Alexis?". Not seeing anything wrong in what I was saying they just smiled, "Uh yeah, duh". "Well are they boys or girls? The names are unisex and I can't tell", I questioned."That's the point Olivia, the world may never know. Gender is just a social construct baby". Ricky said as he put his arm around and proceeded to take me to the parking lot along with is brother. As I was about to ask why they were walking me to the parking lot I saw where I could assume we were headed, towards the rest of their friends, or 'The Boys' as everyone called them. They all saw me and smiled, then looked down at there cigarettes in shame and took one last puff of the smoke and threw them on the floor, crushing them with the soles of their shoes. "Hi Olivia, how ya doin sweet thang?", Tate said as he came over to hug me. I smiled back, saying I was fine and that what were they doing outside if school was abut to start. " Well Alec texted, something about his mom not being home, asked us if we wanted to hang there today. Ya know, drink a few beers, smoke- uhm smoke dectector tests. Can never be too safe.", he said as he blushed. I shook my head at him and laughed, they asked me if I wanted to go but the last thing I want is to ditch school and get into even more trouble. So I said my goodbye and retraced my steps towards the school.
But then I remembered about the video.
The one Alec took of me climbing into his room last night.
Would he dare to show them?
I couldn't risk it.
I pivoted and yelled at the guys to wait up, sighed, and proceeded to ask who I could ride with. "You don't have a car Carter? Wow, you sure are different aren't ya pumpkin?", Alexander asked. "Well not all of us can afford expensive cars, I'm saving up for the Convertible Mini Cooper of my dreams. Well, was, sine I had to move here I need to find a new job". The boys all looked at me for a second, then at each other, the burst out laughing "A Mini Cooper Olivia, seriously, out of all the cars in the world?", Taylor said in between  breaths. I started blushing from the embarrassment them I raced my eyebrow at them and they all stopped."Wow, that was easy", I said. "We have a motto babe, 'girls: to be fucked, not fucked with', you're the only girl we have broken the rule for, this is new for all of us. You eventually won't be able to shut us up I promise." Taylor said as he led me toward their cars, and opened the door to his. 'You can com with me Olivia, my cars the cleanest. Can't bring girls in it if old Chase here is dirty". Hmm, so they all named their cars, go figure. We drove behind the guys but Taylor said he had to pump gas so we pulled over. On the drive to Alec's Taylor said "Ya know, I model for catalogues on weekends, nothing big, just it gets busy and I've never been good with schedules, so maybe, since you are looking for a job and all, you could help me out, like my assistant? Strictly weekend visits and I'll pay you. What do ya say babe?" I thought about this, yes the job didn't sound bad, and yes I was desperate to get that car, but did I really want to engage even more with these guys I mean how long will they even hang with me before they get bored? But I was willing to take that risk, so I said yes, and Taylor smiled.
********
We got to Alec's house and I nervously looked up at it, was this video really worth it? Was it worth having to go into the house of the rudest guy in probably all of LA?. Taylor took my hand and led me towards the house where the door was already wide open. Taylor led me inside the house and I saw as the boys were getting snacks from Alec's fridge and were walking over to the couch. "Ah perfect, the whole gang is here. And Olivia" Alec said as he looked at me with a face of boredom. Then his eyes lit up. "Do you guys wanna see a new movie I just got, super sexy, super provocative. It's called "Predator vs. Prey: The final seduction", I felt uneasy, I knew just by that smile he was giving me that it was indeed the video of last night, and just as I was about to yank the remote out of his hands he pressed play, and suddenly the screen was glowing with me and Alec on the screen. The guys watched in shock as Alec silent laughed, I put my head in my hands and let out a groan. "Wow pumpkin, did not expect that... YOU LIVE NEXT DOOR?", Alexander asked as the guys all looked at me awaiting for my answer. I nodded, and then I looked at Alec, who looked shocked that that was all the boy's had to say and turned to storm into the kitchen. "Sweetttttt, so when I sneak into your room at night I can go through Alec's room". I smacked Tate's arm before telling him that if he did in fact dare to sneak into my room I'd go all karate kid on him, and he raised his arms in defeat.

After I told the guys it was time for me to get going I walked towards my house, and as I opened the door and reached the bottom of the staircase, I saw my mom, who was giving me the death glare. Oh no. "Can you please explain to me why I got a call from the principal telling me that you weren't at school AT ALL today?" I had to think of a lie on the spot, I've never been good at that, it was always Matt's job when it came to cutting class to explain to mom why I was missing. " I wasn't feeling up to it mom, it's just... well... the move just hit me, this is a whole life or me, I headed t the beach and contemplated the whole ordeal. I'm sorry, it won't happen again, I promise". My mom sighed, but nodded, hugged me, and allowed me to continue my trip up the stairs.
Wow, not even here a whole week and I'm already in trouble.
Good going Liv.
