How To Be Cool (Discontinued)

Chapter 4

I am awaken by the sound of my phone at 5.00 am. "Who on earth would wake up this early to fucking text me?!" I silently curse.

With my eyes half open, I stare at the screen. Thankfully the brightness is low so my eyes aren't abused by the light that comes from the screen.

I'll pick you up at 7.15. Don't be late ;)

"Who the f-" I don't bother finishing off the sentence when I actually realise who it was. Nick. Patterson. How dare he texts me at 5 in the morning and even dared to put a smiley with a wink. "That idiot" I mutter as my fingers type the words to reply back.

Shut up I need my beauty sleep.

With that, I close my eyes as I try to wander off to sleep.

Until my phone lets out a "ding" once again, signalling a new text has been received.

You're already beautiful x

Let's see if you still think I am when I murder you in a bit. I mentally reply. I move my gaze to the digital clock on the table, leftside of my bed. It indicates that it is now 5.15, meaning I have exactly two hours before Nick comes and picks me up for school. I realise that going back to sleep at this hour will only make me more tired later on so I head over to my backpack and takes out my daily planner. I flip through the pages to see what I have in stored for today.

14th of September 2015.
Study for a quick biology test on the 16th

The 16th. Oh shit that's today. How I forgot about this test is beyond me. I am not exactly the genius type but I'm as people put it, a perfectionist. I make sure everything's done according to plan. Especially when it involves academics because that is the only thing I can actually tolerate. I am nowhere near atheletic, let alone being the member of any kind of school clubs.

Not wasting any time, I grab the reading materials needed and dive my head into the world of cells, hormones, tissues and whatnot for an hour and a half.

"You're late" I look up to see Nick already standing in front of my house, leaning against his black BMW

"Thanks to you" I roll my eyes as I walk towards him.

He stares at me with eyes full of lust as he takes a few steps closer. I take a few steps back in response but my tiny steps are not a match to his because now we are facing each other, only a few inches seperating us, both our eyes locked to each other's. He softly puts his right hand on my waist making me jerk forward a bit. He lowers his head until I can feel his warm breath fanning my ears before words come out of those perfectly pink lips.

"Roll your eyes at me again" He pauses. Seconds feel like years due to his intense voice. "I dare you to"

I pushed him away and head straight to the passanger seat of his car. He trails afterwards and speed off to school. Both our mouths stayed shut throughout the journey with my thoughts still about the little scene we had earlier.

I know boys your kind. I don't know what games you're playing but I'm not interested in joining, Nick.

"And what kind of boys do I belong to, Jade?" He says with a laugh as he carefully parks his car at his usual spot for the last weeks or so.

With that, I face palm myself. Did I seriously say that out loud?

"Yes. You certainly did" I could tell he is trying his best to contain his laughter.

"Shut up" I cross my arms exaggeratingly as a sign of anger.

"You're cute"

"I am not!" I unintentionally pout my lips. As soon as I realise this, I cover my mouth with my hands hoping Nick didn't see that or else he would have thought I did it on purpose.

"I saw that" He bursts into laughter. If gorgeous can be used to describe laughter than his laugh is the perfect example for this. And I'm sure it's contagious too because before I know it I start laughing as well.

I am now a cheerful person. Gee, cheers Nick!
