Bad Boy Fell Hard |✔

Chapter 32

After a relaxing time at the spa, i decide to go to the store to shop some of my favorite cereal, Special K Fruit and Yorghurt since Mirabelle refuses to buy it saying its very unhealthy. I mean it does have fruit in it which is healthy, right?

I climb into my car and turn the key in the ignition. I feel the car grumble and hear the growl of the engine as i close my eyes and deeply inhale.

As i exhale, i try to imagine that i have breathed out all the bad things that happened in my life.

That was one of the strategies my therapist used to teach me. Pause, breathe. Repair the universe, then proceed.

What the hell was that supposed to mean........

After shopping my favorite cereal, i walk into the candy isle and grab my second favorite candy which is Ferrero Rocher. I grab two packets from the lower shelf. Jason already handled my skitties situation for now.

"Nora!!" Someone yells from behind me. I jump at the sudden outburst of sound and snap my head to the direction of my heart attacker.

I spotted Jason waving at me while jumping like a five year old. I couldn't help but chuckle at his behaviour. I judged Jason too quickly the first time we met. I thought he was a jerk face like his friends but he is really nice and friendly.

His friends, Daniel and Cole are shaking their hands, probably embarassed by his behaviour in public but Jason being Jason continues to wave at me while signalling ,e to come over.

I shove the packet of choclates in my hand into my small shopping cart and approach him.

"Hey Nora!" Jason shouts. I think the whole store can hear his voice because this guy is really loud.

He engulfs me in a bone crushing hug. This guy really loves hugs not forgetting how suffocating they are.

"Hi Jason," i choke out, "can't breathe." I manage to say.

"Dude! We need her to breathe, Do you want another beating from Ryder?" Cole says while shaking Jason's shoulder to let me go after noticing my choking state.

Another beating from Ryder? What did he do?

"Wait, what do you mean another beating from Ryder? What happened?" I ask as curiosity gets to me.

"Your hair looks amazing. Did you get it dyed or is it a wig?" Jason asks quickly changing the subject but i aint forgetting about this?

"A wig?" I ask with a disbelieving look. "Why the hell would i ever put on a wig?"

"I don't know. Girls these days always have wigs. There is this girl i was gonna ba.."

"Okay TMI, and no, i dont put on wigs. I just dyed my hair. Doesnt it look nice?" I ask while cutting him off.

"It looks lovely." Jason says the same time Cole says, "He'll love it."

"What do you mean, 'He'll love it.' And who will love it?" I turn to Cole.

"I said, 'i'll love it'. It looks refreshing and hot." Cole recollects himself in a nervous tone. I look at him weirdly.

Okayy.......

"By the way, we didnt get a chance to introduce ourselves properly, I'm Daniel Tucker." Daniel introduces himself with a friendly smile.

"And i'm Cole Porters. We've probably met but never introduced ourselves." Cole says with a smile.

"Nice to meet y'all. I'm Noreen Summers." I introduce myself with a smile.

I turn to Jason, "About this hiking trip, my friends agreed to tag along." I say.

"Cool. The more the merrier." He says and something snaps in his head.

"I'm sorry about what happened with that bitch." He says probably referring to Mariella.

"Yeah, its very disrespectful and disgusting for to share such fake information to the school." Daniel says.

"It's fine. She got her payback." I say.

"Duhh.... She even deserved hell." Jason says.

"You are a very strong girl, you know. People who experience that wouls probably cry." Cole says to me amd i smile at him.

"Anyway, i have to head home. It's late. See y'all later" I say while turning around not before Cole calls  me.

He walks up to me, leaving his friends behind. I squint my eyebrows wondering what he wants to tell me.

"I just want to let you know, he likes you and he's got it bad." Cole speaks for his best friend.

I sigh, "I know."

"Look, i'm no expert at this shit but i can see that there is something blocking you from letting out what your heart wants. You should open up to him because he is willing to help you and do anything for you. Please promise me you will talk to him." Cole says.

Its ironic to me that the boy most famous for hurting girls is the one who is always and willing to help me.

"Okay, i'll talk to him." I say honestly.

"Cool, thanks." He says and walks back to his friends.

What Cole said was right. Something IS blocking me from expressing what my heart wants. It's really hard for me to believe he likes me. I've been through a heart break and i don't want to experience it again. I mean the guy was a player before i came here and such people are heartless. I mean what if i'm a piece of tissue that he wants to throw away next. I cant let that happen.
