Bad Boy Next Door

13. Ex-friend

She let out a small yawn as she gazed at herself through the mirror, applying just a little bit more nude-colored lipstick over her lips.

There.

She gave herself a few practice smiles in the mirror before raising herself up from her seat at the vanity table, casually checking out her entire appearance.

Perfect.

She noted in approval, lightly smoothing out her dress before moving around her room to retrieve her phone and bag then hastily made her way out and to the front door since she was already a little bit late to school.

Pushing past the entrance door of her house her step mildly faltered as soon as she noticed Julian casually leaning against the hood of her car, waiting for her.
And as soon as his eyes met hers, he gave her the sexiest smile she had ever witnessed in her entire life, slowly trailing his gaze over the length of her body in an openly appreciative manner.

She immediately felt herself grow a little hotter as she once again remembered that certain moment they had in her pool only two days before.

"W-what are you doing here?" She curiously asked him with a mild blush, willing herself to move and take a few small and hesitant steps towards him.

"Come on. I'm driving you to school today," He simply said with a side smirk and before she could even say anything he had already taken ahold of her hand, coaxing her to follow him back to his own driveway.

"Oo...kay," She lightly stumbled after him, still a little bit confused.

Even though they had basically spent the whole weekend together, she didn't expect for him to start acting like a boyfriend so quickly.

Hell, she didn't even know if she wanted him to be her boyfriend yet. She was still recovering after her painfully long and hectic relationship with Mike.
Not to mention that she didn't even had the time to process what was currently happening between them. After all, he was still her crazy, stalkerish neighbour. The one her mom hated with a passion and would have a heart attack if she ever would've seen her only daughter holding hands with him like she was doing now.

Yet for some reason, that sole thought gave her such a thrill, the fear of what could happen if her parents ever would've caught her with him only making her want to be around him even more.

Once they got in the school's parking lot, he exited the car and went around to open the door for her and help her out like a true gentleman.

She only gave him a bashful smile in return, wasting but a single moment to peer into his captivating blue eyes. Yet before she could turn around to leave he grabbed a firm hold of her waist and pulled her back against his body, momentarily lowering his gaze to her luscious and inviting lips before his own descended upon them, giving her another one of his panty-moistening kisses, all under the shocked and outraged stares of her so-called friends.

With her heart beating so fast and her nether regions still tingling she drew in a shaky lungful of air as soon as he pulled back, taking a moment to roam his gaze over her flushed features as if committing them to memory before he lastly turned to leave.

"See you later,"

She gave but a faint nod, thickly swallowing as she fastly turned around and rushed towards the school's entrance, forcing herself to cool down her heated body and calm her pounding heart.
She had classes to attend to after all. She needed to be level-headed and focused, even though on the inside she was already melting.

What is this guy doing to me?

She silently wondered as she walked towards the double glass doors, passing by her ex-friend Lucy and few other girls and completely ignoring their presence altogether, along with the judgy stares and whispers.
She didn't have the time nor the energy to deal with them since she had other and more important things to do like practicing with her new partner, Sebastian, for example.

She kindly smiled as soon as she spotted him casually chatting with another guy, immediately receiving one of his own in response.

"Hi. Ready?"

She gave a quick nod in response, tangling her arm with his as they walked together to their studio.

"You have amazing reflexes, do you know that?" She praised her dance partner with a smile as she recounted the way he so swiftly prevented her from falling after a spin earlier in class, earning herself a shy chuckle from Sebastian.

"I'm just trying to do my best," He answered with a shrug before taking another sip from his water bottle when Lucy passed by. So she once again ignored her, just like she had been doing for the past several hours.

Only this time, her so-called friend didn't choose to remain silent like she had been doing for the past few hours as she suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned around, facing both Lydia and Sebastian.

"Oh...Okay. So this is how we gonna do it from now on, huh?" Lucy asked, a hint of anger dancing on her naturally tanned features as she crossed her skinny arms over her chest, glaring at Lydia.

"Guess so," Lydia simply answered with a shrug, keeping her stance impassive as she looked at her former friend.

Sebastian watched as the tension gradually built between the two, almost hesitating to even breathe whilst Lucy's expression morphed with pure, unbridled fury, her cheeks red and her long blonde ponytail swishing from side to side as she abruptly started shouting out loud,

"You let that fucking psycho beat the crap out of our friends!"

"Yeah! Because your "friends" were fucking trying to take turns raping me, Lucy!" Lydia didn't hesitate to answer, making her former friend suddenly falter, eyes wide as she stared at her.

"Your precious, perfect friends!"

"And you trashed my house, Lucy! You trashed my home while having a fucking threesome with Austin and that bitch Malia, because you didn't care! You didn't give a flying fuck! You treated my home like garbage and you treated me like garbage!"

"So yeah! I'm so sick of you and your bullshit! You can take your fucking fake friendship and just shove it up your ass! I'm done, you hear me? Done! You can just do whatever the fuck you want!" She fastly breathed as she finished screaming out loud under the shocked stares of half of the school's population, pausing to at least give Sebastian one small, apologetic look.

And without another word she turned around and went straight towards the parking lot, only now noticing Julian standing by his car as he intently watched her, no doubt having been witnessed the whole scene between the two.

Silently staring right back at him for a few moments, she eventually blew out that tiring breath she was holding in and closed the distance between them, placing a palm over the back of his head before she pulled him close and smashed her lips against his into a fervent, hot kiss.
