The Bad Boy (Jake Sims) *ON HOLD*

Chapter 3: Meeting the New Boy

I wake up with my alarm blaring I'm Not The Only One by Sam Smith. This song is literally my jam! It shows how I feel about my relationship with Mike. getting out of my warm bed I walk slowly to the bathroom, still sore from yesterday. When I get in the bathroom I look at myself in the mirror and instantly feel disgusted. I have bruises all over my body including my face. Sighing I get in the shower real quickly and wash my hair. When I get out I put the towel around myself and start to do my makeup to hide the bruises and throw my hair in a bun.

I then go to the closet and pick out a loose shirt and a hoodie. Going down stairs quietly, as to not wake up Mike, and start cooking breakfast for him. I get finished and grab myself an apple and leave the house. Looking at everything that passes on the street has always been my favorite thing to do when walking to school because it helps take my mind off of everything going on in my life. Humming quietly to myself a tune I heard once I walk down the street. Before I know it I'm at school. Everyone is outside the school like usual but something feels different. The whispers are excited and not bored like they usually are. What is going on? Oh wait a minute the new kid is here today.

Just ignoring everyone I go to class. I don't want to be late to class because of some new boy! When I walk in the class I say hi to my first period teacher, Miss. Harrison. English has to be my favorite subject and Miss. Harrison is a really nice young women maybe in her mid-twenties. But that's not why I love English. I love English because it makes you think deeper into words and there meaning. so far in thought I didn't hear the warning bell go off and everyone walking into the classroom.

The final bell went off and Miss. Harrison started to talk about what we were going to do when a handsome boy walked in. I've never seen him before so I guess this is the new kid. "Excuse me." he said in a British accent. All the girls in the room swoon at the sight of him and his accent. To be honest he was pretty cute. He is short about 5'6, with brown hair in a fluffy looking quiff (does that even make sense?) and gorgeous brown eyes. He also has a lip piercing and plugs in his ears and to top off the bad boy look he has tattoos up and down his arms. He then continues talking, "Is this Miss. Harrison's English class?" Looking stunned for a minute Miss. Harrison looks at him stunned. "Um yes this Miss. Harrison's English class. And you must be the new student Jake Sims. why don't you come up here and introduce yourself and say a few things about yourself."

Slowly walking to the front of the room. "Hello. My name is Jake Sims and I'm from England. And yeah that's all." He looks at Miss. Harrison as if asking if he can sit down. "Oh yes um Mr. Sims you can sit next to Miss. Smallwood over there in the back. Miss. Smallwood please raise your hand for Mr. Sims here." Shocked that my name is called I raise my hand. he looks at me and walks towards me. When he is in his seat he turns to me and says, "Hello, my name is Jake. What is your name?"

I look at him funny for a second or two before I speak. "Hi. My name is Elizabeth. Not to be rude but, why are you talking to me?" Now it's his turn to be surprised. "What do you mean? I sit next to you why wouldn't I talk to you? Even you seem like a nice girl." I almost giggled at the way he said girl but I keep it in, staying emotionless. I can't let anyone see the real me. It would ruin everything. I don't talk to him for the rest of the class instead pay attention to the teacher.

When lunch finally arrives I sit at my usual table in the back of the cafeteria. I eat my sandwich in pease while reading my book when I hear the screeching of the chair next to me being moved backwards. Looking up I'm surprised to find the new boy, Jake, sitting across from me. Putting down his lunch he starts eating without saying a word to me. Ignoring it I continue reading my book. "Why do you sit alone?" Said a curious voice. I look up but don't say anything. I can tell he is actually curious and not making fun of me.

"Why are you sitting next to me?" I shoot back my own question in hopes of distracting him from his own question. "I sat next to you because no one deserves to sit alone. Now answer my question. I answered yours." Damn it didn't work. How am I supposed to tell him that I have no friends without making him think I'm more of a loser than he probably thinks I am?
