My Bad Boy | ✔️

Chapter 7

(Selena)
I woke up in the middle of the night by the sound of a loud bang downstairs.

Now I'm standing by my bedroom door, with a bat in my hand. I slowly opened the door and positioned the bat in my hands, ready to hit.

I slowly walk downstairs and see my mother carrying some bags in her hand, and a cracked flower vase on the floor.

"Mom I just vacuumed the living room" I whined and set the bat down on the couch

"Sorry honey, I came out of work early so I decided to stop by Walmart" she grinned sheepishly

Sometimes I seemed like the mother and she's the clumsy teenager. I shake my head and smile "go to sleep mom, I'll put these things in the fridge and clean up the mess"

"No you have school tomorrow, go to bed its late" she set the bags on the counter and got a broom out.

"I'm helping you" I said sternly

My mom has been working her butt off to pay this house and she deserves to rest. I grabbed the bags and got out the milk, then put it in the fridge.

After I finished, I helped my mom cleanup all the dirt from the carpet and walked back to my room.

Great. Now I'm wide awake.

I laid on my bed and looked up at my ceiling, staring at the glowing stars.

Yes, I have those glowing star stickers. I stuck them up there because I thought they were pretty cute.

I turned to my side and closed my eyes. Why can't I stop thinking about Justin. I've only known him for like.. A day.

I heard footsteps coming towards my room and stayed still, hoping my mom would think I'm sleeping. I heard my door creak open and I made a straight face, hoping my mom would buy it.

"I know you're awake Selena" she chuckled "go to sleep kiddo"

My straight face broke into a goofy grin and I laughed quietly. I love my mom with all my heart, and I noticed I still haven't told her about Evan

"Mom" I scooted back so she could sit down. I pat the empty spot on my bed and she sat down, looking down at me

"Yes?" She played with my hair and I laid down, and she did too.

"I have something to tell you" I sighed quietly

She kept quiet, telling me to go on.

"I'm dating Evan" I looked at her to see her reaction

She frowned and opened her mouth to say something but then she closed it and stayed silent.

"Mom..?"

"That's great, but are you sure he's the one you have feelings for" she looked at me

"Yeah" i said but it came out more like a question

"That's great honey, as long as you're happy" she kissed my forehead then stood up "goodnight" she murmured and walked out the door, and closed it quietly

Wasn't she happy for me? I thought she loved Evan. I surely wasn't hoping for that reaction.

After a while I fell in a deep sleep.

I looked at myself in the mirror. It was still a little chilly outside so I wore black jeans, a sweatshirt, and a gray beanie with black converse.

I wasn't trying to impress anyone anyways.

I grabbed my bag and walked downstairs, grabbing an Apple from the little basket.

My mom left to work an hour ago so I didn't have a chance to say goodbye. I grabbed my keys and locked the door on my way out.

Groaning for the fifth time today, I walked down the familiar road and listened to music on my earphones.

Today was really foggy, and the wind was really cold, but I was warm enough, except my face and hands. I rubbed my hands together and blew hot air onto them.

I heard a deep roar from a car next to me, making me jump. I took out my earphones and looked at the car.

Justin.

He rolled down the window and nodded his head to the side, telling me to get in.

"You scared me, you idiot!" I said and got inside his car

"You couldn't hear me honking because your music was so loud" he laughed quietly

It was quiet for a moment so I decided to see what he was wearing.

He wore black jeans, a white v-neck, black leather jacket, and a black beanie. He wore a lot of black today, but it looked good on him.

"Take a picture princess, it'll last longer" he smirked, but kept looking at the road

I blushed furiously at his words and looked out the window.

Princess . .

I really didn't want to go to school today. What if Evan calls me babe in front of Stacey, what if he kisses me or hugs me for too long? I shook off the what if's and sunk into my seat.

The closer we got to school, the horrible feeling in my stomach got stronger. I licked my dry lips and rubbed my now sweaty hands onto my jeans.

"You're quiet today" he broke the silence

"Just thinking" I nodded slowly and rested my head on the car window

He nodded, licking his lips. I watched his every movement and tore my gaze off him. I need to quit staring before he gets any ideas that I like him, which I certainly don't.

We drove up to the school building and I gulped, swallowing the lump in my throat

We hit a bump, making my head hit the window harshly.

"Ow!!" I groaned, rubbing my head
I looked at Justin to see him ready to burst in laughter. He looked at me and I glared, making him burst out in laughter.

"Shut up" I mumbled, looking away, a small smile escaping my lips

"You okay?" He asked, still laughing.

I stayed quiet and listened to his laughter. I stared at him and raised an eyebrow "you done laughing?"

He covered his mouth and snorted. I burst out laughing like a dying hyena "did you just snort?" I said in between my laughs

After we calmed down, he parked his car and automatically all eyes were on us. I looked at Justin to see him with an eyebrow raised "wow, they are really nosy" he shook his head and got out of the car

I got out of the car and shut the door, ignoring everyone looking at my every move.

"C'mon" he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we began walking to the entrance

He opened the door and I quickly walked in.

We are acting like a couple and I didn't want that. People are going to assume things and Evan will find out and God knows what he will tell me

"I gotta get to class, I should go" I looked at Justin to see him staring at me

"You have pink cheeks" he smirked, poking them

I slapped his hand away and touched my cheeks. I can't even feel them! Stupid weather.

"Want me to walk you to class?" He offered

"No I'm fine, see you later" I walked away and didn't look back

Once I got to my class, the bell rang. I sat on my seat and saw Mr. Martin staring at me.

Oh how I hate him so much.
