Life Next to the Bad Boy

Before I knew it my back was slammed against the locker and my arm was pinned down. My heart was caught in my throat. His deep blue eyes bore into mine and I wanted to look away, trust me I did. But I just couldn't dare myself to do it.

"Aveline-"

"H-how do you k-know my name?" Nobody knew my name. I was an outsider, a nerd. I was the girl who stayed cooped up in her room doing homework. Aiden was the only other person to recognize me. I definitely did not tell him my name last night at his door. But this seemed to anger him even more. His fist came into contact with the locker right next to my head. Then he dipped his head down and brought his lips to my ear. God, if only this wasn't the first time I've ever been this close to him.

"Babe, I know a lot of things and a lot of people." I could hear the smirk in his voice. "Once someone catches my eye, you won't be able to just disappear in the crowd. You'll fall for me eventually." It's like he knew that I couldn't breathe, that his proximity was killing me. That his hot breath fanning across my neck sent chills down my body. With that he let me go and only then did I realize how close his chest actually was to mine. He began to walk away like this didn't happen...but not before getting another sentence in.

"See you around Aveline." With that he continued down the deserted hall of our high school. He was wrong, I couldn't fall for him.

He was the bad boy.

But maybe that's what intrigued me the most.
