Accidentally Delinquent

Chapter 5

The whole fifteen minutes of the car ride was me telling them how much they've betrayed me in fake hurt as we giggle and laugh about stupid things.

At first, I was pissed that they didn't tell me Luke was coming. So, I made sure each one of them got a punch in the arm, ofcourse none of them got hurt in the slightlest because of my weak noodle arms, but A for effort I guess.

Our laughter and chit chat was cut off by Grayson turning the engine off and telling us we've arrived.

We were at the fourth floor of the school, but since this place was do unbelieveably big, we had to take the car to get to the other side of the building.

Mitchel gets down first, opening the car door for Hannah, as Grayson did for me and I couldn't hold back the small blush that tinted my cheeks at his kind gestures.

At one point, I actually questioned myself if they're actually uncontrollable delinquents because it seemed kinda hard to believe considering they've been nice and easy to talk to, I mean besides the excessive cussing and aggressiveness, they didn't seem so bad.

"Hey." Grayson calls out to me, a small smile on his face, causing me to melt inside.

"Relax. Enjoy the party." He says, as he leads me to the kitchen of this dorm room

"Why is this dorm room so big? It's much bigger than me and Hannah's room." I tell him, and he replies with "The higher the floor, the more dangerous the people. You and Hannah are hardly a threat so you are in the second. And the reason why this room is so big is because it's Luke's."

I narrow my eyes at the mention of his name, and look back up at Grayson, only to be met with his anused smirk.

"And what exactly makes Luke Wanning so special?" I ask bitterly, making him chuckle.

"His dad owns fifty percent of the school, while the other half belongs to Mitchel's dad."

"Oh. So are they really delinquents or are they just required to stay her because of their dad's association to the school?" I ask, and he tilts his head to side slightly, analyzing me.

"Isn't someone a little curious?"

"Why else would I ask?"

He laughs as he bites his lower lip,
"Alright, well to answer your question, Mitchel is not a delinquent. And as for Luke..." he trails off, his expression turning cold for a split second till it returned to it's relaxed state. 

"He is very much a delinquent." he tells me, his tone serious as he looks away from me and takes a shot, and his lack of explanation told me that the topic is officially over.

"Okay. Well-"

"Hey bro." Grayson interrupts my sentence , greeting someone who approached us from behind me.

I quickly turn around to see who it was but my expression falls as I realize it was that dickhead from earlier.

I had to admit, although his attitude was rotten, his looks were anything but that.

Multiple girls eyed him from across the room, and the look on his face was so confident that I'm pretty sure he knew it too.

I don't blame them though..

He turns to look at me and his small smirk disappears as it falls flat and his expression turns serious.

"What are you doing here?" he asks me, coming closer.

"Teaching Sunday school." I sarcastically said as Grayson barely tries to hold back a laugh and Hannah and Grayson arrives, greeting him.

He doesn't greet them back as he holds his stare, and I do the same.

"You've got some nerve." he tells me, and I come closer to him

"What are you gonna do about it? Cry to your mommy?"

His jaw ticks at my words, and his fists clench so hard I could see it shaking.

If Grayson didn't say those very vague things about Luke, I wouldn't have been affected by him. But, his littlw actions scared me more than you know. But I had to keep up the brave facade because it was the smartest option.

Everyone knows Mitchel is a nice guy who doesn't need to be here, but he gets away with being nice because he's hot and his girlfriend would probably snap the necks of anyone who would disrespect him.

"I'll ruin you." he tells me, in the softest, but still very threating voice so that only Grayson, Hannah, and Mitchel could hear and I see them all stiffen at the seriousness of his words.

Besides me wanting to look brave, a wave of confidence rips through me and I come impossibly closer to him

"I'd like to see you try, Wanning." I call him by his last name and turn away from him, but before I could do anything he grabs my wrist firmly, with enough pressure to make me feel a tiny amount of pain and discomfort.

"You really have no idea who you're messing with."

I laugh humourlessly at his attempt to scare me, which was definitely working but I didn't want to seem weak.

"Do you know who you're messing with?" I ask him seriously and his grip becomes tighter.

"You'll regret this."

And with that, he lets go and walks away.

I mentally high five myself.

The feeling of defending myself and not letting people walk all over me for a change felt good. But, I still felt weak.

Because no natter how brave or tough I act, I know that deep down I'm still scared little pushover Belle whom no one takes seriously. I may be able to fool them, but I'll never be able to fool myself.

"You've got balls, Tanner." Mitchel pats me on the shoulder.

Hannah rushes over to me and grips my shoulders so tight, shaking me.

"That was hilarious! You're so badass." she compliments me, and I giggle

"He deserved it." I reply, and she nods in agreement.

"You're officially my best friend." she tells me, and Grayson chuckles.

"You're only saying that because you have no friends." Grayson tells her, and she twists his arm so quick that if I blinked I would've missed it.

"Hey! Stop! It was a damn joke, chill." he yells at her in between laughter as Hannah lets go and sends him a glare.

"ALRIGHT PEOPLE, WHO WANTS TO PLAY TRUTH OR DARE?" A booming male voice echoes across the room and everyone cheers in agreement as they follow him and sit in a circle.

I shake ny head quickly as Hannah tries to bring me into the circle

"Come on Tanner! Where are your lady balls now?" she whines, as she continues trying to pull me. And because she was stronger than me by a long run, I dont know how but I managed to be in the circle about to play truth or dare.

Well this should be fun.
