The Bad Boy's Rules (Sample)

Chapter 6 - The Date

"ALEXANDER, THEY'RE BACK." William shouted the very second Kass and I walked in the house.

"Wow, what's up with you?" I laughed, staring at William's nervous expression.

"You've been gone for like 2 days. That's what's up." Alexander exclaimed, walking in the room, sorry, rushing in the room.

"We've been gone for like 4 hours." Kassidy frowned.

"What the hell were you doing at the mall for 4 hours, anyway?" Alexander shouted.

"Shopping, duh?" Kassidy said in a mocking voice.

"Shopping for what ? Shoes ? You already have like 2453 pair of shoes." Alexander made fun of her, making William laugh loudly.

"That's not true." I exclaimed.

"Thanks Winter." Kassidy replied.

"She has 2455." I added, making the guys laugh louder.

"Wow, and here I thought you were standing up for me." Kassidy said sarcastically and left the room with her 34 bags of clothes and shoes.

"Why were you guys waiting for me anyway?" I asked Will and Alexander "And where are Blake and Kendrick?"

Their faces became even paler than they already were and they looked like snowhite or something.

"See, that's kind of what we wanted to talk to you about." Alexander rubbed the back of his neck.

"What did you do?" I frowned suspiscious.

"Well, you remember Tanner, right?" Will said.

"Oh yeah, the guy who violently strangled me yesterday? Nice guy." I said sarcastically "What about him?"

"Well, Kendrick was out of his mind and.."

"And what?"

"He kind of went there and he kind of got into troubles." William avoided my eyes in everyway possible.

"And you're kind of pissing me off. Just tell me already." I hissed.

"Fine,'' Will paused, searching for the right words to say. ''Kendrick took some hits." William finally admitted.

"Oh my god," I tried to supress a scream, my hand covering my mouth instinctively. How could I be so stupid? He told me he was going to kill him and I went shopping. I WENT SHOPPING. I thought this was just something guys said when they were angry but not something they actually did.

"He went to beat Tanner up."

"And?" I asked this obvious worried tone in my voice.

"Well, it ended badly. Kendrick looks very bad right now and he'll crash at my place for a while until his face isn't so scarry anymore. But until then, Mariah can't know about this." Alexander explained.

"You want me to cover for him?" I cut them off.

"Please." Alexander made the puppy eyes.

"Do you know how much trouble I could get into for doing such a thing? Mariah could kick me out of the house, guys."

"Yeah but Kendrick went there for you." William affirmed, his insistant eyes on me.

"Seriously? The making her feel guilty card?" I sighed "Fine, what do you want me to tell her?"

"That he's staying with me to..'' he paused, hesitating. ''Help me deal with depression or some shit." Alexander proposed.

"Why would you be depressed?" I frowned.
