Dynasty Boys

Chapter 5

Elle

After Lila and I said our goodbyes, she promised we'd see each other at lunch. I was glad I had made a friend! It wasn't exactly on my agenda to make a friend, but now I was glad I had. She seemed lovely, and we got along really well. I guessed it was true that opposites attract. I entered my first class: English. I was relieved it wasn't math. I hated that boring, torturous subject. English was by far my favorite.

I glanced around my new, large classroom and noticed it was surprisingly empty. This classroom, like the entire school, screamed "We're rich and not ashamed to flaunt it." I shook my head. Some people really had no idea how to spend their money.

Just as I was about to check my phone, a middle-aged redhead intercepted me.

"Hello, you must be our new student, Elle Taylors?" she asked, smiling warmly.

"Yes! Hello, that's me!" I said shyly, clearing my throat as more students entered the room and scanned me. I instantly blushed, being the center of attention was something I absolutely hated.

"Hi! I'm Miss Smith. I'll be your English teacher for the year. Please take a seat," she added, her gaze moving to the rest of the class.

Miss Smith was probably around forty and seemed nice so far. She had a very calming voice and kind green eyes. You could always read people through their eyes, and I had the feeling Miss Smith and I were going to get along. Well, as much as a student could with a teacher. I walked to the back of the classroom to take a seat, just as I heard snickers.

"I thought they took the trash out before we came to school. Looks like they missed some," a girl whispered loudly enough for everyone to hear, and laughter erupted across the class. The room, which had seemed so large at first, felt smaller now. I tried my best not to show any emotion and sat down normally. I looked up, curious to see who had said the unfunny joke. My eyes landed on a girl with medium brown hair, wearing high heels and a skirt that didn't leave much to the imagination.

She was skinny, with the perfect curves. Her arms were crossed, and the smug expression on her face screamed "queen bee." She looked like she was about to step into a nightclub with the amount of makeup caked on. Half her shirt buttons were undone, and I could see almost all of her red lace bra. If she didn't have that smug, bitchy smirk on her face, she might actually look ten times better.

I did the best thing I could: I ignored her and pulled my books out of my old backpack. I was taking my pencil case out when the laughter suddenly stopped. It obviously caught my attention. Maybe the principal had come in to steal everyone's focus.

I quickly looked up, and my eyes widened. Sawyer, Vaughn, Nathan, and Carter walked in as if they owned the place, not even glancing at anyone as they took seats in the back. Miss Smith seemed strangely on edge, and the bitchy girl had moved closer to one of them, Carter. By the looks of it, he was the leader of the group. You could feel the power radiating off him like a wave. He was also the guy I had seen at the pharmacy. The same one I thought had been staring at me that night.

Queen Bee leaned over and whispered something inaudible in his ear. I couldn't look away, and when he whipped around, he caught me staring. He smirked, then turned back around as I swallowed. Thank God. I thought he was going to come over here or something... Maybe he didn't recognize me from the pharmacy?

Stop thinking about him, Elle. Focus on English.

As soon as the bell rang, I packed up my books and headed to my next class. I couldn't wait for the day to end. I was already exhausted, and I was surprised I hadn't fallen asleep in English.

I was lost in my thoughts when I bumped into a wall, once again, and all my books crashed to the floor.

"Fuck! Sorry!" I heard, and a shiver ran down my spine the moment I recognised the voice. Seconds later, I looked up to meet dark blue eyes and a mop of blond hair on a very handsome face. He was about six feet tall, towering over my five-foot-eight frame.

He was at the pharmacy, too...

"No, no, it's fine. I was lost in my thoughts," I muttered, remembering Lila's warnings. I hurried to gather my books, but he unexpectedly knelt down to help me. That was nice of him, but I had to be cautious around him and his friends after everything I'd heard.

"It's fine, I do that all the time," he said in his deep voice, letting out a soft laugh. He didn't seem too bad.

What was Lila making a fuss about?

"I'm Nathan, by the way." He smiled and extended his hand. I couldn't deny how handsome he was. I hesitated for a second before shaking his hand and offering a smile.

"I... I'm Elle. Nice to meet you," I blurt out after clearing my throat out of nervousness.

"You're the new girl, right?" Nathan asked, arching an eyebrow. His blue eyes studied me, and I felt my cheeks heat. He knew who I was, and that didn't surprise me. Just as I was about to respond, his friend, Carter, joined us.

"Damn! Nathan what are you fucking doing? Come on I'm not gonna fucking wait the entire day." He said in a moody and harsh voice. He was a few inches taller than Nathan, so a freaking giant to me. He sensed my gaze and looked me up and down, examining me like I'm his favourite specimen. After an uncountable long seconds he finally snarled. However, it wasn't exactly the reaction I expected.

"All right chill the fuck out I was coming, bye Elle see you around! " Nathan smiled at me before winking, earning a growl from his friend. As they stalked off, I exhaled of relief. They obviously looked like they didn't recognize me.

I truly hope they didn't.
