Bad Popsicle / Zach Herron (book 1)

4

- Friday -

I put my textbooks into my locker and searched for my books that i needed next period.

As i grabbed my last book, my locker slammed shut revealing Zach grinning as he leaned against the locker next to mine.

My breath got taken away and i could feel my heart rate picking up by second.

He was wearing a camouflaged shirt, ripped jeans and black vans, Fuck.

"Hey Mia" he smirked as his very muscular arms crossed each other.

"h- hi" i bit into my bottom lip to hold back my shivers.

His eyebrows narrowed as a toxic smile plastered onto his face, " so i make you nervous?" He chuckles mocking me.

I shook my head, "no"

He leaned off the locker and looked down to his feet then taking a step closer to me. I could feel his minty breath hitting my face from how close he was. The smell of his cologne entered through my nose.

My whole body felt like it was about to collapse.

" you sure about that?" He whispered without his teeth coming apart.

OKAY YES IM SCARED OF YOU, YOU INTIMIDATE THE SHIT OUT OF ME NOW LEAVE ME ALONE.

"I- i um" i hesitated. Fuck why am i such a baby?

"Awh that's cute." He joked. "So are you going to this party tonight?" His eyebrows raised as one corner of his mouth raised.

"I don't know." I lied. I knew i was going with Taylor and Peyton.

"Don't. You don't belong at parties. We don't need to waste space on someone who would just sit in a corner when there could be a person actually having fun." His words shot at me with no empathy.

Ouch.

"You're so mean." I mumbled looking away from him.

He got quiet as he stood up straight. I felt his hands grip my shoulders than my back slammed into the locker. " don't fucking talk back to me. You're just a little bitch that no one cares about and no one ever will. No one loves you Mia. You're such a fucking bore goddamn get a life." He pushed off of me.

I felt my eyes get glossy at his words. I felt so empty inside.

He chuckled moving away from me "thanks for letting me know you're scared of me. I'll use it against you." He winked. As he walked past me. His shoulder collided with mine making my body move backwards towards the locker.

I didn't even want to be at school anymore, i felt like i was so worthless.

He's not wrong. I have no friends. My dad doesn't care about me or he wouldn't leave me with the Herron's.no one shows me affection and the most popular guy at school hates every part of me.

After he was no longer in the hallway i walked quickly to the bathroom and walked in on something i regret.

Kay and her "clique" were applying their dark lipstick colors and fixing their bras to make their boobs push up more.

She catches her eye onto me. "Oh my gosh,Mia! Perfect timing!!" She grabbed onto my wrist and brought me into the mirror with her.

"The girls were just telling me. I looked good today but you know i was feeling a little unconfident, but now that you're here you can help me!" She smiled widely.
