Chapter 3: Caden Maddox

Hey guys!! I wasn't planning on updating again today, but I finished this chapter already, so I thought "why not?"

I'm not gonna lie, there might be a few mistakes in there. I had my friend sort of proof read for me, so I'm sorry if there are any.

Well... I hope you guys enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning I actually wake up on time, which means I can take my time getting ready. I walk into my closet and start going through all of my clothes. Should I wear a dress today? Ha. Nope. I'll stick with jeans. I pull out a pair of blue ripped skinny jeans and a black and white striped shirt. I also grab my white adidas.

I set the clothes on my bed and walk into my bathroom to take a quick shower. After my shower I brush my teeth and throw on a little bit of makeup, which I don't usually do, but I've got a good feeling about today. And of course all of those feelings are ruined by my idiot of a brother.

I'm in the middle of applying a perfect line of eyeliner when he decides to bang on my bathroom door, "HURRY UP CORA! YOU'RE TAKING FOREVER!" I jump in surprise, messing up my eyeliner at the same time. "Dammit Jackson," I yell at him, "you made me mess up my makeup!" I hear him chuckle as he walks away. What a dick! I quickly fix my mistake and walk out of the bathroom, making sure my brother is out of my room, and change into my clothes.

I leave my room and head into the kitchen where I see Jackson leaning over a bowl of cereal stuffing his face. When he hears me come in he lifts his head up, and milk dribbles down his chin. "Wow, that's attractive," I say sarcastically and grab myself an apple for breakfast. He glares at me and finishes his cereal.

Once he's done, we grab our bags and head out the front door. We jump in the Jeep and head to school. "Oh," I say remembering what mason had told me last night, "why the hell did you give Mason Woods my number?" He just shrugs, "he said you guys had English together and he needed to ask you a question about the homework." I just nod and pull into the school parking lot. While I'm getting out of the Jeep, Jackson looks over and says that he has practice after school so I won't need to give him a ride. I mumble an "okay" and we both head our separate ways.

When I make it over to my group of friends I feel a burning sensation on my back, like someone is staring at me. As my eyes scan the parking lot, they land on a pair of striking blue eyes. Caden Maddox. Shocked, I quietly gasp and a blush creeps up on my cheeks. We stare at each other for what seems like hours before a pair a fingers snap in front of my face. Before I turn away I swear I see a hint of a smirk playing on his lips.

"Cora what were you staring at," Bryce asks me as he throws his arm around Chloe's shoulders. I shake my head embarrassed that I'd almost been caught staring at our schools bad boy, "nothing, just zoned out for a minute." We all make our way in the school and say our goodbyes as we head in different directions.

When I step into my English class, I notice that Caden and Mason are already in their seats. They're sitting there quietly, like they didn't just try to kill each other yesterday. Maybe they kissed and made up? I let out a small snort at that thought and both of their heads snap up to look at me.

I awkwardly make my way to my seat, not meeting either of their eyes. "Hey princess, you ready for the party on Friday," I hear Mason ask and I turn my head to look at him. He has a huge grin on his face and I can't help but think about how cute the crinkles by his eyes are. Cute? Did I just say Mason Woods is cute? I shake my head and give him a small smile, "I can't wait!"

I hear a quiet growl next to me and when I look over I see Caden angrily grabbing his stuff and storming out of the classroom. I wonder what his problem is.

Mason and I talk quietly throughout the rest of the class and when the bell rings he offers to walk me to my class, but I decline and walk to my locker. As I'm approaching my locker I notice someone is leaning against it.

"What are you doing," I ask Caden as I stop in front of him. He doesn't say anything, so I try and fail to push him out of my way. I huff and put my hands on my hips, "will you move?" He steps to the side and allows me to open my locker. I can practically feel his eyes burning a hole in my head.

I slam my locker shut and turn around, only to smack into a very hard, very muscular chest. "Ow!" I say holding my nose, "do you need something?" I look up and meet his eyes and I feel my breath catch in my throat. "Yeah," He says in a low, sexy voice, "you." Me? What does he want with me?

I just blink at him slowly, still trying to register his words, and before I can say anything his hand is grabbing mine and pulling me out of the school. "Where are we going," I ask trying to free my hand from his grip. He gives me a lazy smile, "we're ditching the rest of the day." My eyes widen in surprise, what does the bad boy want with me? We had never even talked before! Maybe he's still pissed because I broke up his fight with Mason.

"I can't skip school Caden! We'll get in trouble!" He laughs and shakes his head, pulling me over to what I assume is his motorcycle.

"Don't worry babe, we're not gonna get caught." I frown and ignore the tingling feeling in my stomach when I hear him call me babe. I shake my head and cross my arms, "no, I'm not getting on that and I'm not going with you!"

He lets out a frustrated sigh and pinches the bridge of his nose. Damn that's hot. My thoughts are quickly pushed back and I let out a yelp when he picks me up and sets me down on his bike. He straps a helmet on my head and gets on the bike.

"Don't you need a helmet?" I ask him in a quiet voice. He turns his head and gives me a jaw dropping smile, "are you worried about my safety, babe?" I narrow my eyes at him and frown. He lets out a small chuckle, "hold on tight babe." He gives me a wink and turns back around.

Before I can say anything else he's speeding out of the parking lot. My arms instantly wrap around his waist. Oh god. What have I gotten myself into? Where is the bad boy taking me?
