Bad Habits 3 |D.T

The Next Generation Is No Better

MAlIAS P.O.V—

I slammed my books into my locker and when I closed my locker door, I saw Connor standing on the other side.
I jumped a little and then sighed.

"What do you want?" I gave him a look of disgust.
He rolled his eyes "I'm not here to argue-"

"Well you're always here to argue so...."

He cleared his throat "I heard about what almost happened to your brother. Is he okay?"
I nodded "Yeah he's still a little shook by what happened but he's doing a lot better. Thanks for asking."

He sighed "Listen Mal. I've been thinking and I just want us to forget what happened the other day. So will you reconsider my offer? And go to prom with me?"

I raised my eyebrow "Connor, I don't think we should be talking to each other anymore. You said some pretty shitty things about not just me but my mom as well. Your Dad and my mom didn't have good history together and I don't think I can be with a guy, knowing what his family put mine through. In other words, I don't wanna see you again."
His eyes widened and I was about to walk off but he stopped me.

He grabbed me by the wrist and I quickly pulled it back, getting out of his grip.
"Don't touch me!" I snapped at him.
"You're making a big mistake Malia-"

"The only mistake I made was that I actually used to like you at one point but now? U can shove that up your ass." I spat at him.
"You'll regret that Mal." He said right before I stormed off.

I said without turning around to look at him
"No. You'll regret saying that." I said in a serious tone.

I was about to walk out of the school but then Addison stopped me.
"Mal What Just happened?" She saw Connor walk in the other direction.

I sighed and rolled my eyes "He's such a pig! I can't believe I liked that guy. You wouldn't believe what he said to me, he-"
"Thinks there's a thing between you and Aidan?" She finished what I was going to say.

My jaw dropped and I didn't know whether to be mad or just cry.
"You think that too?! Addy you're supposed to support me in this." I ran my fingers through my hair.

"Well you and Aidan have been getting really close even if you deny it or not. Plus the last girl Aidan ever got close to was that girl he once dated and that was over a year ago."

I shook my head "Whose this girl that he used to be with? He never mentioned her."

Addison looked around to make sure nobody was listening.

"Her name was Catherine. They were best friends since they were 6 and Aidan finally asked her out. They were the most happiest couple ever, everyone wanted to be just like them but one day.....she left him. Aidan was so heart broken that he hardly showed up to school."

I questioned Addison "Well What happened to make her break up with him?"
She shrugged "No one knows."

The bell rang and then everyone started going to their first class.
I hung my head low and looked at my shoes.

"Mal I think you need to get your attention off Aidan for a bit and focus on yourself."
I looked up at her "How?"

A grin formed on her face and I knew she was up to no good.
"My cousin Ronnie is having a party later today and she said I can bring over a friend."

I shook my head "I don't know-"
"Come on Mal. When was the last time you went to a party?"

Good point.
I finally gave it "Alright, fine I'll be there."

"Yay!" She jumped."

AFTER SCHOOL—

I was getting ready and I was just finishing straightening my hair.
Just when I turned the straightening iron off, I got a text.

I was expecting it to be Addison but it was Aidan.

AIDAN— Hey Wyd?

ME— I'm going out with Addy to her cousins party but I'll be back later.
Read.

Aidan is typing....

AIDAN— You mean Veronica's party? Be careful Mal

ME— Why?
Read.

Aidan is typing....

AIDAN— Bad things happen at Ronnies parties trust me I've been to them.

ME—Well Addison will be there so I'm not gonna be alone

AIDAN—If anything happens just call me and I'll be there.

ME— DW I'll call you if anything :)

I then got another text and it was from Addison.

ADDISON—I'm waiting outside

ME— OMW

I locked my phone and grabbed my jacket. I ran downstairs and I tried to sneak past my mom but she caught me the second I opened the front door.

"Stop right there!" She pointed at me and I froze.
I turned to face her and gave an innocent smile.

"Where do you think you're going?" My Mom said as she crossed her arms.
"I'm going to....Addisons house." I was about to tell the truth but then I was quick to lie.

I knew my mom would never let me go to a party so I had to lie to her about it.

I waited for an answer from her and she gave me a suspicious look.
"Text me when you get there and don't be out too late."
I smiled "Sure."

I opened the front door and ran out before she changed her mind.

Addison was waiting by the drive.
"Hey What took you so long?" She asked me.

We started walking and I sighed.
"Had to get away from my mom."
