Love Story...

New day..2

ASHTON

      

            The next day as soon as I reached the school I was summoned to principal's office. No one in the school except Jake knows that Mrs.Baker aka the principal of Jefferson High is my aunt. She's my mom's younger sister. She's a widow and have no children and so she treats me like her son only but she is not at all happy with my bad ass ways so she tries to lecture me many times. Although I love her like my own mom,her lectures falls on deaf ears. Hey! It's not my problem that I am like this. Everyone likes to change me.. But seriously guys till today no one is able to change me. I have a reputation to maintain and I won't give it or change myself so easily. Many thoughts were going on in my mind as to why my aunt called me. I tried remembering if I played any of my pranks on one of the teachers or if I missed a detention but not a single thought came to my mind as to why my aunt called me.

        After reaching the office I gently knocked on the door and without waiting for a response I walked in. Hey.. Don't judge me.. I am called bad ass for a reason man. My aunt looked up from the papers and sighed. "Sit" she ordered me. I complied it.

           "Hey aunt.. How are you??" I greeted her. She smiled and said " I am good. Thanks" I waited for her to explain as to why I was called. She continued " Look I have called you here to tell you about the interview" Seeing my confusion she explained " I have decided to interview you as you are the star player of the soccer team and also the team captain " "But aunt you know I don't do interviews " I replied frustrated. We have went through this conversation many times in the past when I was in sophomore year and in junior year. "I know son, but this is your last year in the school and I want to interview you and that's final" she replied calmly but firmly. I started protesting " But aunt.." She stopped me in mid sentence " No buts dear... if you don't do the interview I will tell your mother about all your pranks that you play on the teachers and all your bad boy habits" she threatened me and I knew there was no way I will be out of this.

       I sighed defeated." OK aunt...when will be the interview and who will be doing it??" I asked her. She smiled satisfied by my reply and answered " Any time in this week will be your interview. I have assigned Emma Parker to interview you. She will soon let you know the schedule."

      "Emma Parker?? Who the hell is she? And why are you letting a girl interview me... You know how the girls are here... They won't leave a single chance to interact with me and I bet you this Emma girl will also be like the rest and I challenge you that instead of asking knowledgeable questions in the interview she will flirt with me." I fired everything in a single breath. I was too frustrated to care.

    " First of all Emma is one of our brilliant students, she's also the main member of the reporters club and my dear nephew once you meet her and then say she's like the rest because I know she's not like the rest of girls who falls on their knees for you" she replied again calmly. Curiosity spiked the best of me.' Who is this emma girl who won't like me?' I thought to myself. The question itself was damn funny because I know every girl in the school and I know each of them likes me so I sniggered to myself because maybe aunt doesn't know that my charm works on everyone. ' Apparently not' my inner me replied.' What do you mean by that?' I questioned myself only.' Dude did you forget the mystery girl?' Apparently I was going crazy because I was Talking to myself only.

         I soon left my aunt's office and made my way towards the lockers where Jake was waiting for me. "Hey man..ssup??" I greeted him. "Nothing much bro... You see there is this girl in my history class..." He continued telling me a story where a girl in his history class asked him out and what did he replied to that. I was half listening to the story and my half mind was searching the mystery girl towards the area where I saw her yesterday but to my disappointment she was no where to be seen.

          I and Jake made our way towards the field for the soccer practice. Jake was still telling about the history girl. As soon as we reached.. Coach yelled at us to do 10 laps of the field. This was our daily warm up exercise so we were used to it. After completing the laps we took our positions.

            I being the captain of the team barked orders from time to time. Phew! Being a captain sure takes a toll on one's health but I was used to it. For about half an hour we practised with full concentration. As soon as the coach dismissed us we all dispersed. I went towards Jake and removed my bottle to drink water. I was drinking water when someone tapped on my shoulder.

          I turned around to come face to face with the mystery girl. I was surprised to see her here so I spruttered water everywhere. She was shocked. To hide my embarrassment and smirked at her "Your place or mine??" First confusion grew in her eyes followed by understanding and then anger but what she did made my mouth open.

         NO! She didn't slapped me nor did she shouted at me.. she laughed like literally laughed. I stood there my mouth hanging open. Her laugh was so genuine unlike other girls who always giggle and their laugh can make ears bleed but her laugh was like a music to ears. After few minutes she sobered up and asked " Do you always talk nonsense only?" I smirked at her saying" No not always babe only when I am around beautiful girls" As soon as I finished saying this a small blush appeared on her cheeks which could have been neglected if I wouldn't have been watching her closely. This made me smirk more.

       "Look I have to talk to you about the interview" she said to me. As soon as she said interview everything started to turn in place. So she's Emma Parker. Her name fits her perfectly. Finally i found the name of my mystery girl. But as soon as my aunt's words registered in my mind I scowled inwardly. What did she mean by that Emma won't like me like the other girls. I will make her fall for me...I decided. After collecting my thoughts I replied" Are you the great Emma Parker?" She scowled in my direction. My my, she's feisty... she looks so damn hot when she's angry." What do you mean by the great Emma Parker??"

She shouted at me. I replied saying" nothing" and then I grinned mischievously as a plan was forming in my mind.

       " So when are you free so I can interview you?" She asked me in a calm voice. Wasn't she angry a few minutes ago? "This Friday... But I have one condition" I replied in an equally calm voice. I knew what I have to do to make her like me so here was the first step. Seeing her silence as an encouragement to continue I told her

   "You have to be my date tomorrow evening in one of my dad's parties" I would have laughed at the horror on her face if I wasn't meant to be serious. I saw all the emotions that went in her eyes. Firstly surprise then shock and then anger.

After whole 2 minutes she shouted at me "What?? Are you out of your mind??"

            I knew it won't be easy to convince her so I sighed and told her "Do you or do you not want the interview to happen?" I know I was practically black mailing her but hey otherwise she wouldn't even talk to me.  Her furious gray eyes met with my calm blue ones and she once again shouted" You are blackmailing me" Apparently she have the same thoughts. But I wasn't about to budge. After seeing that I wasn't ready to budge she snapped frustrated" Fine...what time and what place?" Now we are getting somewhere Em, I thought to myself. Em?? I have already given her a nick name also.Wtf! I don't give nicknames to anyone.' But apparently you did' my stupid inner me once again reminded me.' Gee thanks' I replied sarcastically.

        "Don't worry I will come to pick you up at your house tomorrow at 7 pm.Be ready and wear something sexy" I smirked in her direction but she simply growled. I took her phone from her hands and quickly typed my number and called myself.

After giving myself a missed call I returned her phone back and took my phone out to save her number.

      " Thanks for taking my phone with my permission and saving your number in it" she muttered sarcastically but I simply grinned in her direction. After sending me one last furious look she marched out of the field. I can't help but watch how sexily she walked without even trying. Wow! I thought to myself. Today's start was awesome.

     I just can't wait for tomorrow...
