The Jerk Calls Me Princess

Chapter 1 ❦ Come again?

Natalia's POV:

Oh how I wished I could wake up feeling like a princess. Instead I wake up everyday feeling like a cave person. And today is just another day of the same old routine. 

I sat up on my bed wiping away the imaginary drool or was it real? I lazily stand up whilst hunching like a old lady. Man oh man... today was the first day back to school. I glanced over at my alarm clock and it read 7:25 am. I smiled and then froze. Holy llamas! I, Natalia Anderson am late on my first day.

I quickly made my way to the bathroom and squeezed the toothpaste on my brush. I looked in the mirror and got frightened at my own reflection. Holy moly, I looked like I tried on every drug in the world. I quickly finished showering and got out of the bathroom. 

Then came the difficult part. Wearing jeans right after you finish bathing. I put my right leg into my black jeans followed by my left leg. I did a little wiggling and jumping and boom I'm in those jeans. I wore a beige long sleeved top and rolled the sleeves up. I threw my brown hair up into a messy bun and slipped into my sneakers. I sprinted downstairs. I grabbed my bag and the apple that was sitting perfectly on the counter and rushed to the door. 

Before I managed to step outside I heard my brother yelling at me from his car. I let out a breath of irritation before slamming the door shut and making my way into the front seat.

You must be wondering where my parents are right? Well they're somewhere out of town. They always are. So it is just me and my brother most of the days. 

I pulled my seat belt and buckle them in. I turned in my seat and noticed that I was still infront of the house I snapped my head towards Dean, my 18 year old brother with blue eyes and brown hair. He looked at me with a confused look and then nodded his head towards me. 

"Time. School. Late!" I shot back at him. He laughed and pulled the car out of the driveway. After 20 minutes we pulled up into the parking lot. I immediately got out of the car and ran into the school building. 

What a hectic morning. I made my way to my locker and pulled out my books. As scheduled I had English Lit as my first class. I closed my locker shut and started making my way to class when someone pulled me by the arm. I was going to scream but a hand covered my mouth to stop me.

"Hey, chill Princess! It's just me...." My eyes still wide open as the hand was still placed on my mouth. I looked down at the hand and then at the person infront of me indicating him to remove his hands. When I looked around I noticed that I was in a dark closet like room surrounded by boxes and brooms. From the looks of it.... Janitors Closet?

My chest started heaving up and down as I stared at the guy infront of me. His light brown eyes shimmering as the light hit them. His hair was rather messy like he just ran his hands all over it. He looked at me and after 2 seconds of stare down, I finally opened my mouth. "What do you want Alec?" 

Oh did I tell you that Alec Ryder is Eastview High's ultimate bad boy who also happenes to be my brother's best friend? Girls normally throw themselves at him whereas I try my best to avoid this jerk. So much for avoiding the jerk. 

He ran both his hands through his hair and then his hands slipped down over his face until he clutched onto his leather jacket.

"I need a favour." He said as made those puppy eyes at me. 

"Seriously? That's why you dragged me in here?" I said dryly. 

I was wasting precious time just standing in here. I turned to open the door when Alec put his hands on the door to close it again. He was leaning beside me. I turned to look at him, his puppy eyes still on me. I let out a breath and folded my arms against my chest. "What do I get out of this?"

A smirk crossed his face as his eyes shimmered. "Well Princess, any thing you want. But you have to help me!" 

I rolled my eyes and breathed heavily out of my nose. "So what is it?" I said curiously. I was being held here against my will. He looked around the room until his eyes met mine again.

He breathed out softly and said "I need you to kiss me in about 7 minutes." 

I choked on the air I was breathing. Am I lacking oxygen to my brains or did he seriously just ask me to do that. "Come again?"

I...want....you....to....kis-" I quickly cut him off as he slowly repeated the words and took steps closer towards me. 

"I get that part you dumb donkey, but why me?" Alec furrowed his eyebrows as he made a confused face. Then slowly that smirk creeped up on his face. 

"Seriously Princess? Did you just call me a 'dumb donkey' as in a 'dumbass' ?" I scoffed and folded my hands over my chest. 

Alec was about to say something when we heard foot steps coming towards us from the hall way. Alec opened the door and peeked through it. He quickly closed the door and turned to face me. 

"Princess do this for me. Just this once." I could see the desperation on his face as the door knob started rattling.

I gave a quick nod and he started leaning towards me. I placed my right hand on his chest to stop him. I ran my hands through my hair and messed it up a bit. Alec just stood there looking at me amused. I then pulled his leather jacket and his light brown eyes locked on my own. As the door swung open I leaned in and kissed him right beside his lips. His hands wrapped around my waist as he breathed heavily through his nose causing me to get goosebumps. He mumbled something under his breath and just then I heard the door swing open as I let go of his leather jacket and turned and glanced towards the door. A girl in a cheerleading out fit stood infront of us with her hair tied in a high pony tail. She stormed towards Alec who had his hands shoved into his pockets and leaned against the wall. She pushed him and started hitting him. Alec just stood there and didn't even flinch. 

"How could you? We're done!" with those words she moved herself away from him and gave me a death glare. 

"We were never together in the first place sweetheart." Alec yells as she storms out of the closet towards the hallway. 

I let out a little giggle and pat my hair down. I turned to go as well when Alec pulled me by the wrist. I crashed into his hard chest as he looked down at me. I wasn't really short maybe just 2-3 inches shorter than Alec. Alec was pretty tall himself. He leaned in beside my ear and my eyes widen as he said: 

"When I said kiss, I meant on the lips Princess." I pushed him away from me but his hands were locked around my waist. I took a deep breath and then looked up at him. I place my hands on his chest and leaned up to his ear. I could feel his breath hit my neck as he lowered his head.

"Oh I know what you meant. But too bad that's never gonna happen." I whispered into his ears and pulled back. Alec's eyes were closed and I heard him mumble: "Shit...." I turned around with a smile on my face and left the room leaving him standing there running his hands through his hair.

As soon as I entered my English Lit class I saw everyone's eyes on me. Miss Avery looked at me with a smile on her face. She was by farthest my favourite teacher. She was in her late thirties, she wore black knee length skirt and her white blouse was tucked in neatly. I smiled nervously at her and she stood up and walked over to me. I don't really like getting attention so when I saw everyone staring at me, I felt the sudden urge to run. She placed her hand on my shoulder and said: 

"Since it's first day back to school I'm gonna let this slip okay?" 

I exhaled and gave her my best smile. I made my way to the back of the class and sat down. I glanced at my phone and noticed that there was only 20 minutes left. I put my phone down and then looked at it again. What!!!! I was 40 minutes late into the class??? I'm gonna kill Alec for this. After I finished sketching in my scrapbook I started to pack everything up. The siren sounded not long after that.

I walked over to my locker and saw a girl leaning against it. 

"Renay?..." I whispered as I put my hand on her shoulder. 

"Holy fu-" I slapped her on the arm and she winced. Not 2 seconds later she pulled me into a hug. 

Meet my best friend, Renay Collins. She is a pretty brown girl with an amazing personality. Unlike me she says whatever is on her mind. She has hazel eyes with long brown hair with blonde highlights at the ends. 

We have been best friends since 4th grade and I considered her as my sister. 

Okay I can't take this.

"Renay. Oxygen!" I huffed as she let go of me and then pulled me by the shoulder and started waving her hands dramatically infront herself. 

"How did you survive first period without meh?" I giggled and started getting my Chem books out. I turned towards her after closing my locker and observed her hitting the keyboard on her phone.

"Slowly...you might as well just break the phone, Ray." She looked up at me and rolled her eyes as she smiled. 

"Where's Curtis I haven't seen him since morning." A smile crossed her face as she nodded her head in my direction. 

I turned around and was ambushed into a bear hug. I felt strong arms wrap around my waist as the guy infront of me lifted me in the air. I yelped in surprise and he slowly put me down and placed a soft kiss on my cheeks. 

"How's my unicorn?" I punched Curtis lightly on his shoulders as he started laughing. 

I observed him from head to toe. He was wearing a Navy blue V-neck shirt with a pair of black jeans and converse. His dark brown hair was sticking out in all directions, his electrifying blue eyes sparkled as he smiled back at me. 

"Who are you and what have you done with Curty?" I said scarcastically.

He rolled his eyes and let out a little laugh. "Oh c'mon unicorn, I told you not to call me that in public." He said in an embarrassed tone as he looked around himself. Renay and I burst out laughing as we noticed his cheeks turn red.

Curtis Light has been my best friend since the diaper days. My mom and his mom have been best friends since high school, so I guess Curtis and I were just following the tradition. 

Whoa alot can happen over the holidays. 

Curtis was a skinny dude before he went down to London to spend the holidays with his mum. I scanned over his body again, he had grown more taller and developed muscles and packs. I looked up at him and shook my head in disbelief.

"When did this happen?" Renay gestured to his whole body. He leaned against my locker with his hands shoved inside his pockets. 

"Let's say I had an inspiration." He said as he pushed himself off the lockers and we started walking towards Chem class. 

After Chem, I made my way to the cafeteria. Curtis went for basket ball practise and Renay was in detention because she was caught texting in class after 7 reminders. I scanned the cafeteria looking for an empty seat. Everyone was seated in groups laughing and enjoying themselves. I turned on my heels to go outside when I heard people cheering. I turned around and stared in the direction from where the commotion was coming.

There above everyone else's tables sat the popular kids of the school. It consisted of cheerleaders and jocks and other rich kids. I tilted my head to the side and furrowed my eyes as I saw Alec viciously attacking a cheerleaders mouth with his own. The cheerleader was seated on his lap while her hand ran through his hair. This wasn't just any cheerleader it was the queen llama herself. 

Cornelia Matthews. She's the cheer captain. Also known as the schools bimbo. I have no idea why she hates me so much. Ever since Alec showed at this school she has held a grudge over me. 

Like hell it's not my fault the guy's a jerk.

Alec Ryder is famous in school because he gets any girl he wants, but everyone knows he's never committed to one. I don't even know why girls get with him just to get their hearts broken everytime. 

After a few minutes Cornelia pulled away from his grip, breathing heavily. Everyone on the table started handing money to Alec. This was a pretty normal thing actually, see everyone seated at the popular table always made bets on Alec to see who pulls away first. Alec always wins. Cornelia stood up from his lap and sat nicely and they continued eating. 

I heard my brother call my name as I was about to exit the cafeteria. I ignored him and made my way to the old library. It's always empty so during lunch I always go there. I plugged in my earphones and played the song: What The Hell by Avril Lavigne.

I turned up the volume to maximum on my phone and started bobbing my head to the beat and danced around the room with French fries in my hands. 

I pretended that I was in a music video. After moving around the room and singing on the top of my voice, I laughed to myself. Suddenly all that laughing and dancing stopped as I felt someone pull me by the waist and push me against the wall. I winced and closed my eyes when my back came in contact with the cold wall. My earphones were plucked out of my ears and I was too scared to open my eyes. 

Holy fugdenuggets .... what is happening?
