Striker

Invite

Striker didn't even glance in my direction the whole dinner, not that I wanted him to. I was embarrassed that I had let myself get carried away like I did. I was silent most of the time. The guys didn't seem to mind. All I wanted to do was go lay in bed.

I finally left after I had finished eating and washing off my plate. I didn't want to be around Striker any longer. I headed upstairs to my room, falling asleep right after I made the promise to myself to never let Striker have me in any way again.

I woke up with a fresh mind. I wanted to look hot for school for once, seeing as I never really dressed up. I took a long hot shower, making sure to shampoo twice to keep the vanilla scent strong in my hair.

After getting out I blow dried my hair, proceeding to curl it in soft waves ending just above my ass. I then decided to put on some mascara and rose colored lip stick. I didn't want to wear too much makeup. It was nice not having to cover any bruises up for once.

I went to my closet to choose an outfit. I didn't exactly have sexy clothes, nor did I buy any when we went shopping, so I decided to make a sexy outfit. I took my high waisted jeans out and cut some holes in them, making sure to show off some leg. I then put on a tight black tank top and black wedges. I tousled my hair, giving it a sex look, and made my way downstairs. The guys were waiting on me when I got down there, all of them staring at me with dark looks.

"Are you guys ready?" I asked, with a new found confidence in me.

"Holy shit." Max said.

"You look hot as fuck!" Pete responded.

Brute just kept staring. I winked at him causing him to let out a chuckle. "Damn. We are going to have a hard time keeping the guys away today." He said, smirking.

I noticed Striker wasn't around. Max was holding the keys so I assumed he was driving. "Striker is meeting us later. He has some business to attend to. I'm driving." He said, answering my thoughts.

We headed to school, all the while the guys were making jokes towards me, making me laugh.

It was time for lunch and the guys kindly escorted me there. I still had not seen Striker today, so I assumed he just wasn't coming. We headed towards our table, Max letting me know he would get my food for me. I pecked his cheek and sat down.

A very attractive guy sat next to me at the table, which surprised to fuck out of me.

"Hey?" I questioned, wondering what he was doing.

"Uh, hi. You're very beautiful. What's your name?" He asked.

"Aella. Yours?"

"Jack."

I smiled sweetly at him. He was being nice, but I wasn't sure why. Nobody had tried talking to me before.

Pretty soon another body hit the table. "Who the fuck are you?"

I knew that voice. It was Striker.

Jack and I both ignored Striker. Jack just turned towards me and proceeded to ask another question.

"I was wondering if you'd like to go to a party with me on Friday? It's at my friend Jeremy's house and I'd love to be the guy with the most beautiful girl there." He said.

I blushed profusely. I was about to respond with a yes when Striker interrupted me.

"Oh Jack. You wouldn't be with the most beautiful girl. You'd be with the easiest. You don't have to flatter her. Aella here is quite the whore. She'll open her legs for anyone, don't you worry. I wouldn't take her if I were you, I'd be scared of the STD's she carries." He said.

I looked down at the table. Hurt by the words coming out of his mouth once again. Jack is definitely not going to take me now due to Striker. Why would he want to anyways.

"What do you say Aella?" I heard jack whisper to me.

"Really?" I responded. He nodded his head while smiling. "Then yes, I would love to." I smiled back. He told me he would pick me up at 7 on Friday at Max's place and left. I was so excited I actually had a date, I didn't even realize the guys had sat down.

Striker was glaring at me, and I right back at him. Fuck him. I will not back down from this prick any longer, nor will I back down from anyone. It is time that I started standing up for myself. 

"What's up with you two?" Brute asked. 

"Striker tried to ruin my chances of getting a date and going to a party. He's mad that he failed in hurting me, I'm sure." I snakily replied. 

Brute chuckled and asked the details of the party. 

"We'll be going with you to keep an eye on you, babydoll." Max said. That was fine with me, as long as I got to have some fun and let loose for once. 

"Alright." I smiled at them, now excited for Friday.
