How To Be Cool (Discontinued)

Chapter 3

It's weird to actually get a ride from school. I have always walk to and from school except for a couple of times when mum dropped me off to school. I kinda like walking, eventhough I hate the outdoors. It's nice to get fresh air sometimes, seeing that I practically live in my room. I sometimes have my dinner in there too just because I'm alone most of the time.

The car journey has been for a solid fifteen minutes of silence. Neither of us even bothered to try start a conversation. Trying to avoid further awkward silences, I turn on the radio and Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran blasted through.

"Party pooper" I say as Nick turn the radio off.

"It's my car, I can do whatever I want"

"Well you were the one who forced me to get in" I pout.

"I didn't force you, it was just an order"

"Same thing" I still pout.

"Stop pouting it's annoying me" I hear him say. He must've seen me pout through the corner of his eyes as for the last fifteen minutes, his eyes never left the road.

"It's my mouth I can do whatever I want" Ha ha I win

"Nice comeback" He smirks, while his eyes are still on the road.

"I know" I proudly say as I pretend to blow my nails.

He still smirks.

"Get that smirk off your face"

"Shhhh" He hushes, while that damn smirk never left his face.

"Do you even know where my house is?" I ask.

"No" He straight forwardly answers.

He offered to drive me home but don't even know where my house is and not even bothered asking? Ha I knew he was an idiot. "It's five miles back"

"What?!" His voice raises and his eyeballs look as if it could fall out of his eye sockets. Well not really, but you know what I mean. "Why didn't you say so?

"Why didn't you ask?" I question him back. It isn't my fault he's too stupid to even ask where my house is before he offered a ride.

"Shut up Shut up Shut up" He orders and makes a U-turn. I could see him srunching his eyebrows while eyes are on the road still. I take this oppoturnity to properly study his face. He's not even that hot. I mean yeah he has the most perfect combination of blue and green for his eyes. And thick eyebrows that would look horrible on other people but seems to look great on him. And even wearing Free Hill Manor School uniform just like the rest of us, he adds a little something that makes him stand out and I can't quite figure out how. Okay sure his blonde hair has the most perfect brown highlights I have ever seen. If he wasn't such a prick I'd give him credit for that. But trust me he is not that hot.

Okay maybe I'm just lying to myself since all I have been hearing as I walk out the school gates were how good looking he is.

"Why are you quiet all of a sudden?" He snaps me out of my thoughts with his deep yet sexy voice.

"You told me to shut up"

"I didn't actually want you to shut up"

"Okay"

"Okay" He repeats.

"Okay"

"Okay"

"Ookay" My temper is starting to boil.

"Okay"

"We could go on forever you know. I will get the last okay nonetheless"

"Okay"

"You frustrate me."

"I could say the same to you" A smirk made its way to his lips.

"Pull over." And he did as I say.

"What's wrong?" His voice sounds concerned. If I hadn't known better I would have thought he actually cared about me. Pffttt.

"My house is just around the corner" I say as I point to the double-storey house which is only a hundred meters away. It's quite big with five rooms and a bathroom in each room so I thankfully don't have to wait for a billion hours for my brothers to finish taking a shower. My brothers and I have a room each while my parents share a room, obviously.

"I'm gonna drop you off there then." He restarts the engine and drives to the house I pointed earlier.

"Okay" Ha told you I'm gonna get the last okay.

"Hey look, I'm sorry I was a jerk earlier" He stops in front of my house. He finally takes his eyes off the road and they are now landed on mine.

"I-" I am speachless. I never though he'd admit he was a jerk let alone apologises.

"Can we start over?" He holds out his hand. "I'm Nick Patterson. The new kid"

I reach for his hand and we handshaked. "I'm Um-" I froze.

"You're Um?"

"What? No" I awkwardly gigle. "I meant I'm Um.. Jade Miller. The one you forced to get in the car with you."

"Okay Um Jade Miller." He smirks. What is it with this guy and smirking. "I'll pick you up at 7 tomorrow."

"Okay." I say, too tired to argue. Walking all the time can get a bit tiring so hey someone just offered a free ride there's no way in hell I'm complaining.

"Good" He smiles and off he goes.

I walk up to my front door and take a deep breath. What have I gotten myself into.
