Meeting the Bad Boy // Ethan Dolan

3- a drug

Sophie's p.o.v

Today was the first day back at school. You know how that goes. You are scared yet excited but it lasts about thirty minutes then you want to leave again.

I can't lie, I was quote used to getting up early since we were forced to at camp, but didn't make it any more bearable.

I slowly but surely sit up and walk over to my wardrobe. Looking over all of my new clothes and still thinking I have nothing to wear. My clothes are always in order of colour. I haven't told anyone that though.

I pick out a plain red shirt and black baggy jeans paired with black converse shoes.

The only makeup I ever really do is curled lashes with mascara.

Walking down stairs I smell the perfect delight of my dads pancakes. Must be pity cakes for their announcement last night. Not that I'm complaining.

"Top of the morning to ya Sophie" smiles my dad in the worst Irish accent I have ever heard.

"Morning my father dearest" bowing my head at him. Joking around was my favourite thing to do with my dad. I will be sad when he goes for so long.

While I'm chowing down on my pity cakes my phone vibrates meaning I have a message.

Ethan 🥵
School starting again for you too?

I didn't even think he was still in school, he looks so much older than me. Definitely not more mature though.

Me:
Uh yeah. I didnt think you went to school.

Ethan 🥵
Why because i am extremely hot?

Me:
How did you even get my number 

Ethan 🥵
Too shy to admit it? And great magicians never reveal their secrets.

I look at the time.. 7:40 great I'm gonna be late on the first day back. I hope everything is still how it was when we left. Me being in the shadows with my two best friends. That is the life. I don't really know why I think it would be different. I am still the same old me. 

I start walking to school, I know I'm 17 and don't have a car or drivers licence, leave me alone.

It takes me 20 minutes to walk there so I'll be just on time hopefully.

20 minutes later.

I walk through the similar doors I used to see everyday. There is a sense of belonging, the smell, sound, feeling is so similar.

However, once I look at the hallways, it's empty, crap I'm late.

I frantically run to my first class, drama. I may not be the most confident girl but drama gives me an opportunity to be a completely different person, and I adore that concept.

"Miss Hill, you're late"

"I know" wait did I just say that  My head looks up in shock as the whole class laughs at my accidental joke.

"Miss Hill, do you want to spend your first day back in detention?"

SHe must be in a really bad mood. Detention? Never had one and never will. I had gained the attention of almost the whole class. Not very ideal for first day back.

"No" I simply say and sit down next to my acquaintance I met in math last year.

The class looks at me with wide eyes. Probably thinking 'woah she talks' I got a few weird stares, some people probably didn't even recognise me.

Mrs Blackmore starts introducing herself to the rest of the class. Since she was my teacher last semester she already knew me.

Suddenly I feel a body sit next to me. My nose is engulfed by a sweet scent of cologne. Obviously I look to see the person to the smell.

My heart speeds up.

"Hey sweetheart" Ethan. It's. Ethan.

My words can't make sentences.

"What- oh. Sup" Sup? I look to my hands on my lap. When I feel a large hand gently pull my chin to look up at him.

"Do I make you nervous, sweetheart?" I tried my hardest to not scream. How was this boy in my class. We must be the same age. 

His eyes are looking straight at me. Wearing a dark red loose tee that hug his physique with black slightly ripped jeans. 

Actions are all I am capable of so I nod.

He cheekily laughs, with a slight smirk on his face.

Now deciding my best choice is to avert my eyes and focus on the teacher, but he's having none of it.

He places his hand on my thigh. Inching it slowly upwards, causing me to shut my eyes.

He leans over so I could only hear him.

"I told you no one rejects me" he says In a low husk whisper. I can feel his hand gripping tighter and tighter. How can a small touch affect me life that?

"Sophie, can you answer my question?" Mrs Blackmore says obviously because I wasn't listening.

My breath hitches, this is not happening.

"You have three children and you went to Mulan for two years when you were younger" Ethan answers. I'm shocked, why would he do that, wouldn't he rather see me fail.

"Thankyou Sophie" Mrs Blackmore replies with a stern hard look.

Earning a few laughs from around the class.

"Now you owe me, and you will do whatever I say." Ethan tells me with his lips to my ear.

Again, I just can't reply.

"So sweetheart what is your name?"
He smirks

"Uh Sophie " is all I manage to get out.

Suddenly he stands up out of no where and shouts.

"Sophie just told me she doesn't give a FUCK about your life"

I gasp and look up to him and try to deny it

"No-no I would never-" but I get interrupted by Mrs Blackmore

"Sophie Hill, Ethan Dolan detention! Go to the principals office. NOW" oh. My. God. So much for staying in the shadows.

Ethan calmly grabs his bag, slings it off one shoulder and walks out the door. Whereas I awkwardly pick up mine and push the door instead of pull.

I stumble through the door. Classic me. At least it learns a laugh from Ethan, that laugh is like a drug. And I might just be addicted.
