The Players Corruption

Chapter 3: Parents

AN: Sorry for the late post my computer keeps crashing so I have had to rewrite this chapter 4 times now. Hopefully it works this time around.

Chapter 3

"You what?!?"

Noah scratches the back of his head uncomfortably. It is the first time I have ever seen him not completely confidant in himself. 

"Well not actually my girlfriend. Well kind of. You see-"

I interrupt him. "You better hurry up the explanation because I am about two seconds away from hyperventilating".

He takes a step back and I'm ashamed to admit that I miss his warmth. I shake my head slightly to clear my thoughts. Now is not the time to be distracted.

"My parents are coming home." He states.

I gaze at him, confused. "Okay that's great. I still don't see how this requires me to be your girlfriend."

"You won't be my actual girlfriend. More like my hired fake girlfriend." he corrects me.

"Cool so can you please explain why you need my help?"

He sighs and rolls his eyes. "I already told you my parents are coming home. A bit slow on the uptake aren't you gorgeous?"

I am seriously about to slap the smirk off his face.

"Care to elaborate on that?"

He runs a hand through his hair. "My parents left three years ago to live in Thailand for a while. I obviously didn't want to join them so I begged them to leave me here. Not that it was really hard to. Their main concern was that I would use the house to throw parties and have a bunch of girls over. So, I told them that I actually had a very serious girlfriend from another school and I wasn't like that anymore."

"You told them you had a serious girlfriend at age 15? And they believed you?" I give him a strange look.

"Yeah well they're not winning the parents of the year award anytime soon. Anyway they transfered me here and then left and I did exactly what they thought I would do." he smirks. "But now they are back and they are expecting me to be in a relationship. Which I am clearly not. So here is where you come in. I need you to be my so called girlfriend. It can't be a girl who wants to sleep with me because it has to look innocent. Otherwise you would be the last person I would ask."

I scoff "Insulting me won't get me to help you."

Noah shrugs. "I'm just being honest. So I just need you to meet them over dinner and then you won't have to worry about this anymore. And then I can use 'dates' with you to sleep with other girls."

"That's disgusting" I scrunch up my nose. "If I do this there needs to be some ground rules."

He crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? Okay fine. What do you have in mind."

"Well first, you can't use me to get in bed with other girls."

"But-" he pouts.

"No," I say firmly, even though he looks adorable right now. "Second, you can't tell anyone about this. No boasting your friends about me. And third, no kissing me."

At the last condition he starts walking towards me with a slow grin spreading across his face.

"You sure about that last demand?"

I gulp and nod my head.

He grabs my waist and pulls me to him, resting his forehead against mine.

"Really?" he lowers his head to my neck.

"Yes." I shakily respond. His lips brush against my throat and I jerk.

"Hmmm..." he hums. "I guess I will have to change your mind."

Right as his lips are about to connect with my own, the janitors closets door flies open with a bang.

"ROSALINE MARIE GRAY WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU IN THE-" Lux's voice cuts off with a gasp. "You're making out with Noah Stone in the janitors closet?!?!"

"No! We were just-"

She cuts me off with a grin. "I have never been more proud of you. Well other than that time when you-"

I stare at her, horrified. "Lux! Shut up! We weren't making out! We were just talking."

She raise her eyebrows. "In the janitor closet? Right up against each other? Honestly how stupid do you think I am?"

Noah, who has remained silent the entire time finally speaks up. "Actually we were just talking. That is until Rose threw herself at me."

I nod my head. "Yeah, so- wait what? No! That is a lie!"

He grins at me and responds with "Honestly Rose, it's expected. I mean, who can resist all of this?" he then looks at Lux and winks.

Lux looks him up and down appreciatively. I want to punch something. I can't even help it. I want to hate him, want to want to have nothing to do with him. But for some strange reason I feel drawn to him.

You like him idiot.

No I do not!

Really then why are you jealous of the fact that Noah is openly flirting with Lux?

I come back to reality to see Noah has stepped out of the closet and Lux is laughing at something he said, her hand on his arm. Gritting my teeth I shove past the two and head straight towards the bathroom. 

I lock myself into a stall and bury my head in my hands, sinking to the floor. I mean I have only had one conversation with the guy, two if you count the encounter with Summer. So why waas I so upset. 

Because you thought you were special.

I hate that it's true. For some crazy reason I thought maybe something good could come out of the situation. But of course he ruins it by flirting with my best friend.

I take a deep breath and let it out. I promised myself that I would never become like all the other girls that fawn all over him. And I intend to keep that promise. I get up and walk out of the stall, I turn on my phone to check the time, hoping to grab a quick bite to eat before heading of to my afternoon classes. 

The clock read 12:55. That can't be right. If that's the time, then lunch ended 25 minutes ago...

I bolt out of the bathroom and turn down the hall to rush to class.

Suddenly I hit a solid chest. Being the uncoordinated klutz that I am I start to fall backwards taking the person I hit down with me. I close my eyes and brace myself for the impact. I hit the ground hard.

"I am so sorry! I am so clumsy I didn't mean to run into you!"

"Don't worry about it gorgeous. I had a soft landing."

I pry my eyes open to find Noah lying on top of me.

I open my mouth to start yelling at him when an outraged voice speaks out.

"Noah Stone and Rosaline Gray! Skipping class and making out in the hallway?!?" Principal Bellmore yells.

Seriously, why does everyone think Noah and I are hooking up?

Then the situation dawns on me. 

"I'm so sorry sir! I didn't mean to miss class. I just lost track of time. I-"

"Ms Gray that is enough! I will see you both in-"

Noah rolls his eyes. "Here it comes."

"Detention."

AN How do you think Rose will feel about detention? Especially since it is Noahs fault? Comment and vote please!
