High school Bad Boy's Secret

Chapter 2

"So?" I asked Callum as we sat face to face in the cafe.
"So what? He asked, looking at me with twinkling eyes.
"I mean... you said you wanted a favor or something" I said
"First of all I want you to help me with studies for now"
Studies? He could have asked any other kid for that it's not like I'm the smartest kid in school.
"But why me?" I asked thoroughly confused.
"Because you are.... different" he seemed to stress on the last word.
"Fine I'll help you.."I said with a sigh."but where's my dairy?"
"Oh you're not getting it back right now." He said with a wink What!!
I glared at him.
"Listen I want a help other than studies, I am not gonna tell you what it is right now" he said suddenly all serious.
Another thing?
Why not tell me now? So that I can back off.
Wait! I can't back off he has my dairy and judging by his attitude he's not going to give it back anytime soon.
What did I do to land myself in such a mess?
"So tell me why exactly do you like that Carter guy?"
Shit! He has seen it.
Damn it.
"I-uh..." I stammered.
"I can help you with him-if you want." he said with a smirk.
No thanks! I dont need help from a bad boy with stuff that involves my crush.

I was sitting at the first bench with Nat, I was debating with myself whether it's a good idea to tell Nat about the whole Callum thing. I decided against it.
Suddenly the bell rang. It was already lunch time.

We sat at our usual table eating our usual lunch.But the unusual thing was that we were joined by Callum and his friends.
I wondered if Jake and Tyler actually knew about my meeting with Callum. I guess he told them judging by the looks both of them shot to me and Callum. He sat beside me like yesterday.
I looked at Nat,she looked pretty happy to sit beside her crush. They even started having small talks.
I was trying to concentrate on my lunch when my phone buzzed.
I received a text from Callum.
I will go to your house after school.
It said.
I looked at him to receive a wink.
Great! Now he's gonna come to my house...
I have to make sure that nobody knows about this.
-----------
I was pacing around my room. I always did that when I was nervous or angry. In today's case it was both. I was nervous because Callum was coming mainly because no boy has ever come to my place before. Also I was angry because I hated him.
Also I wondered what my parents are gonna think... because they knew how I was.
Suddenly I heard a knock . I took a deep breath before opening the door to find Callum standing in a grey hoodie.
He smirked at me before entering the room. He went straight to my bed to sit down.
He stared at my room with admiration.
Strips of comic book pages and posters of video game characters were pasted on my light blue wall. There were stacks of comic books and video games scattered here and there. My school books were stacked in a corner beside my PC.
"So all these years you just pretended to be boring" he said smirking.
That was because I didn't want people to know me - the real me.
"Let's just be professional..okay?" I said as I grabbed the nearest book.
As we studied I wondered what his ' other help' is going to be.
After about one hour, Callum closed the book loudly. I almost jumped in surprise.
"Enough for one day" he sighed "let's do something fun"
Fun!? What fun? I don't do fun...
"What?" I snapped.
God that was loud!
" Hey! Hey! Calm down, I was just going to say that let's play video games as you seem to like them too" he said holding up his hands in defense. "Or we can go for a ride" he added.
Ohh...
" Video games"I said after few seconds.
It was clear that I wasn't going to go anywhere with him.

We played for awhile before I literally had to drive him out of my room. He wanted to stay for another round or two. I'm not gonna lie I really had a good time playing with him.
-----------
"So who is he?" My mom asked at the table.
"He?" My dad asked her.
"He's just a friend" I said before they could jump into conclusions "he came here to clear his doubts"
"Really?" My dad said" when your mom said 'he' I thought he might be your boyfriend" he laughed.
"Well she needs a boyfriend..." mom said "she's almost eighteen now". My dad nodded in agreement.
Seriously guys...!?
Suddenly my phone buzzed.
It's a text from Callum.
I'll pick you tomorrow, we are going to school together.
Be ready.😘
Seriously he wants to go to school together!?
I don't want to go with him, I don't want to be seen with him.
But I had no choice. He has my dairy,he knows everything about me. He will make sure people knows about my secrets if I don't do as he says.
I need my diary back.
Also what's with the kiss emoji...
Is he flirting with me.
Dang it!
What did I do to get his attention?
I thought I was invisible to guys like him.
I can't let anyone to think that we are together...not specially Liam.
