What I Want

1

"Oh my gosh! Did you hear about Kallum and Courtney?" Alexis squeals as I walk into school.

"What?" I groan, rubbing my head.
I couldn't sleep at all last night, I found a spider on my wall, but then I lost it. I was up all night panicking.

"They broke up! Apparently she cheated on him with Jack! He beat the shit out of him!"

"And you're happy why?" I ask.

"Ummm....." Alex pretends to think.
"Mabye because the hottest guy in school is single?" she says in a duh tone.

"No, he's no good. He's bad, he smokes and drinks and has tattoos. I say no. Don't go near him."

"Well, its a good job I don't care what you say, right?"

After an hour of my math teacher lecturing us on doing our homework, I walked outside to meet alexis.
"Hey girl" She sings, walking up to me.

"Hey" I smile.
"Let's walk round the back of the building, I don't wanna go to English."
I nod, checking the time and following alexis.

As we're walking around, Alexis is blabbing on about some new laptop. But somthing catches my eye.

In the corner, lent up against the wall is Kallum with his friends. He has a cigarette and a bottle of alchohol in his hand.
Alexis must notice the same thing, because she stops talking and stares.

Suddenly a pair of brown eyes are on us, glaring into our own.
Kallum walks towards us, gripping on to his bottle, looking as if it is about to smash.

"What are you doing here?" He growls.

"Uh, j-just walking. Back into school." She shudders.
"Got to go." She races of back around the building, leaving me with..... him.

He raises one eyebrow, waiting for me to speek.

"Uh..."

"Wait. Who the fuck are you?"

"I-I'm Lilly." I gulp.

"You go to our school?" He asks.

"Y-yeah. We have French class together."

He sharply turns to his friends. "You guys ever seen her?"

They all shake their head.

"Guys, this is the girl."

"You sure? I mean, she isn't exactly popular." A blonde boy says, looking at my confused face, as to what was going on right now.

"Yeah but I need someone who no one knows, obviously." He rolls his eyes and his friends return to silence.

"Um, is there something I should know, or..."

"I have a proposal." He turns to face me.

"If your going to ask me to marry you..." I laugh, but suddenly stop when I notice his straight, bored face.

"Look, you heard about my girlfriend right?"

"Yeah, she cheated on you with-"

"Ok! Shut the fuck up." He yells, which makes me suddenly silence.

"No girl has ever cheated on me, I do the cheating. I need to make her regret cheating on me and make her want me. No one has heard of you before."

"Yeah, I know. Just rub it in." I roll my eyes.

He glares and continues.
"If I use you, to pretend to be my girlfriend, mabye she will be jeleous and want me again."

"Woah woah woah." I am surprised at my sudden confidence, but continue anyway.
"You think you can just use me? I've spent my whole high school years been unnoticed. We have one year and that is not changing now."

"C'mon! Just fucking do it!"

"What do I even get out of this?"

"I'll pay you."

"Pay me? Pay me what?" I ask, suddenly kinda interested.

"$50 a week."

"$50?" I laugh.

"Fine, fuck! $100"

"$115" I'm really surprised at my sudden confidence. Like, really.

"Fucking hell! Fine! Jesus. I can't belive I'm letting a lame-ass girl persuade me." He grumbles.

"Lame-ass? You know what, forget it. I'm leaving."

"Wait!" He grabs my wrist, making me pull back and wince.

"What?" He asks with a questioned look.

"N-nothing." I shake my head, pulling my sleeve down further.

"Look, will you just do it?"

I look at him, unsure.

"Please?"

Wow, the first time I've ever heard him sound so....... desperate, and kind.

"Fine" I sigh.

"Really?" He asks.

"Yeah, I suppose."

"Good. Pick you up tomorrow. 7." He smirks, and walks off with his 'gang'.

What?

I take it back, he isn't kind.
Desperate mabye, but not kind.

I'm so gonna regret this.
