Why am I so stupid? Why do I get my hopes up so quickly? Why did I trust Cole and his words?
Right now, I'm sitting next to Ryder in the cafeteria where everyone on our table is talking, laughing and flirting. Yes, you guessed it right, Cole is flirting with some Kemma or Gemma or whatever her name is. I mean, my whole day was going okay until lunch break, where I found some girl sitting on my seat already and flirting with Cole. And I don't even know why this is bothering me so much. I mean, he is a player and it's like, his duty to flirt with every girl. No matter how slutty she is. Why the hell am I even getting effected?
Because you're jealous.
You again? Why do you have to disturb me? And no, I am not jealous.
Yes, you are.
Please stop your nonsense.
Nonsense? You call this nonsense?
Well yes I d---
"So you're coming tonight, right?" Ryder's voice broke me out of my trance.
"Tonight? Where?" I asked, confused.
Ryder rolled his eyes. Am I forgetting something?
"To my bedroom babe, you remember your promise, don't you?" He asked, in a high pitched voice, batting his eyelashes at me.
Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. And I did.
"Can't you be serious for once?" I asked, ignoring the giggles of that Kemma when Cole tucked a piece of her blonde hair behind her ear. God, this is so...nevermind.
"Ok, Okay. To my party tonight." Ryder answered, sensing my irritation.
It's Friday already?
"Uhm, yes it is. So are you coming?" He asked, and I realized that I said that out loud. Again. I do that very often.
"Do you even need to ask that? Of course, I'm coming." I said, smiling at the thought of the party and the hot boys there.
"You look like a creep. Smiling like that." Brody said, eyeing me.
"Yeah. What are you thinking about?" Sam asked.
"Oh, I was thinking about getting laid with some hot guy tonight," I said, still smiling. I mean, you can't blame me, I've not been laid for about 2 months or something.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Cole's knuckle forming a fist. Looks like he is angry.
But I didn't do anything. I just picked up my trash and went to the dustbin to throw them. As I was going, I bumped into someone. And it's a tall boy I guess, my leftover orange juice was spilled on his white shirt.
"Oh shit, I'm so sorry..." I trailed off, realizing that I had bumped into that Antony guy. He still is a mystery to me. I asked Blake and Ryder about him, but they said that they are sworn enemies and nothing else. But I know that there is more to the story but they weren't opening up.
"Hey, you don't need to apologize, sexy." He said, his deep blue eyes boring into mine. And both his hands had a hold of both my arms. God, this guy is such a mystery. And I like mysteries. I want to unravel him. Piece by piece. Opening every fold of this case or should I say the enmity between him and Cole. As far as Jessica told me about him is that he is a very big player. He plays a harsh game with girls and treats them like dirt. He reminds me a lot of James. A boy whose life I've ruined. Because he ruined my bestie's life. Tit for tac. As for this Antony guy, his rumored girlfriend in Bethany. But I'm not very sure, I just overheard two girls talking about them.
And then, all of a sudden, I felt a hand being snaked around my waist. I didn't even need to lookup. I knew it was him. The boy whom I hate a lot. Yeah, you guessed it right, it was Cole. And he was glaring at Antony.
"What's going on, babe?" Cole asked me. But his stare was still on Antony, who left my arm a while ago. And he raised his eyebrows after hearing what Cole just said.
Even I was shocked. Babe. How could he even say that? After flirting with that Kemma bitch, he had the audacity to say that. Oh, I'll teach him a good lesson.
"Well, I don't think that's--" Antony started but Cole cut him off by saying:
"Did I ask you? I was talking to Xandra." In a very cold voice, I might add. His hold on my waist tightening. I swear, he would leave a bruise there.
"Oh, it was nothing Cole, he was just stating the same old usual thing," I said, with a shrug. Not wanting to cause any more drama since the whole cafeteria was silent and listening to us.
People just can't mind their own business nowadays.
"What is the same old usual thing, may I ask babe?" He said, now looking at me. Damn his deep green eyes.
"Antony felt the urge to call me sexy, though I don't need his confirmation over the fact whether I look sexy or not. Because let's admit it, I look sexy in anything I wear." I said, smirking in triumphant. Wow. My pick up line was so amazing.
"You don't need to wear anything to look sexy, Xandra." Antony finally speaks up. I rolled my eyes at him. God, that was so disgusting.
I think Cole was about to punch him but I stopped him, by putting my hand on his, the one which was wrapped around my waist. And I felt it. Sparks.
Stop being so girly Xandra and FOCUS.
"Dude, that was a low blow. Besides, you aren't my type."I said, removing Cole's hand from my waist.
And as I was turning to leave, Antony called out and asked," Then, may I know who exactly is your type?" With a smirk on his stupid face.
Boys and Smirking. Don't they know how to smile properly? I mean you just need to stretch the corners of your lips upwards. Doesn't take a genius to do it.
"Definitely the more manly ones." Yes, this comment caused a lot of snickers in the cafeteria and Antony's smirk to drop. He looked at me blankly. And Cole had a broad smirk on his face.
"Excuse me," I mumbled, making my way out of the two boys who were saying something which I didn't understand. Something like "Don't mess with her." And "Why do you care?"
I rolled my eyes at them. After throwing my trash in the dustbin, I decided to walk back to my friend's table but alas, that just couldn't happen. I bumped into someone again. God, why can't my life just be normal? Is it too much to ask? God! I'm using song references. Could I get any weirder?
Whoever that surely did it on purpose. And I'm not being petty right now. He just ruined my white off-shoulder top with his orange juice. God, Could this day get any worse?
I looked up, deciding to give the person a piece of my mind but guess what? I was wrong.
It was not a he, it was a she. Bethany, to be precise. And beside her stood was Kylie. Both of them had stupid smiles on their faces. As if they've done some award-winning work.
"Oh my Gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't do it on purpose." She Exclaimed, faking her guilt. I noticed the fact that she said that out very loudly which caused the whole cafeteria to look at me again. She just wanted to humiliate me. I just can't let that happen.
"Can I borrow this?" I asked, quietly to a nerd who was on the table nearby. She just nodded, handing it over to me.
Opening the can, I dumped the whole juice over her head. Her smile just faded and she glared at me. Kylie also glared at me. Bethany's hair was all spoiled and she make up too.
"Guess I'm sorry too," I said, before walking off. But not forgetting to thank the nerd once again.
Guys I need your help. Please meet me in the washroom near the cafeteria ASAP. It's urgent.
I texted to the group chat, which included me, Sam and Jessica, only. No boys in this one.
In up to 5 minutes, both my besties were here, looking panicked.
"What is it?" Sam asked, breathlessly as if she had run all the way here.
"My favorite top just got ruined," I whined, hoping they would understand the situation.
"Is that it? I thought something bad happened." Sam said, rolling her eyes.
She wants something worse happens to me.
I glared at her. How could she say just that?
"Now, don't get angry. I have an extra top with me." Jessica said, trying to calm me down.
Wait for what? I could consider the fact if she had an extra pair of jeans but a top? Who is she kidding?
"Why do you have an extra top with you?" Sam asked, confused.
"Uh well, you see..." Jessica trailed off, her face getting beet red. "Oh, just take it already, besides we're two minutes late for our chemistry class Xandra." She finished, giving us no details and shoving the top in my hand.
I took the black crop top from her and went to a spare cubicle to change. Her black crop top was revealing as it showed too much of my flat tummy. But right now, it was the only choice left. Besides, it was matching with my light blue skinny jeans and my black ankle boots.
"Tadaa! How do I look?" I asked in a sing-song voice, stepping out of the cubicle and acting as a model.
''Woah. I didn't know you had a tattoo, and it's so beautiful.'' Sam gushes about my tattoo on my belly as she trails after it, unconsciously.
On my 18th birthday, when my dad finally allowed me to get a tattoo after pestering him for, like 10 years, just joking, it was something for like 2 years. I got this beautiful butterfly tattoo on the left side of my tummy. But it hurts a lot, getting a tattoo, which is the reason why I didn't get any other after that.
''Yeah, it's cool.'' Jessica nodded, staring at my tattoo in awe.
''Aren't we getting late?'' I asked, breaking both of them out of their awestruck thoughts about my tattoo.
''Oh god, the old man is gonna kill me,'' Sam says, rushing out of the girl's washroom. I chuckled at her reaction which caused Jessica to snap her head to face me.
''What are you laughing at? Even we are getting late.'' Jessica says, literally dragging me to the hell hole.
$$$
''May I know why you two are late?'' The teacher asked us, as soon as we opened the door to our chemistry classroom.
''Girl problems,'' I replied, without thinking. What? You can't blame me, that teacher could give us detentions.
The teacher just stared at us blankly, while Jessica glared at me. I heard someone snicker from the first bench. I stomped towards him and glared at him.
''What the fuck did you find so funny about this? Have you ever seen a girl laugh at a boy because of his boner? The answer is no. Then, how could you laugh at such a touchy topic? What if--''
''Don't cause any more drama Xandra. The teacher would give us detentions.'' Jessica hissed quietly in my ear.
''Fuck you.'' I spat at the boy in front of me, who did look guilty now.
I walked behind the class and stood next to Cole, who was smirking at me. I hate the whole male population right now.
''Nice tattoo, Xandra. It looks very sexy.'' Cole whispered huskily in my right ear.
I blushed at his words. Since when did I get so girly?
$$$
I picked out my dress for the party and did my nails and my hair. I'm gonna show Cole that I can be so much sexier than that Kemma bitch. Oh, I can feel the fun already.
A/N,
That's the longest I have ever written.
