I Don't Date Bad Boys

Justin

It was Friday and I'm so glad. This week has been long and tiring and I just want to rest. It was lunch and Court and I were eating. Like usual. We had a mac and cheese and it was so good. I got my tray and went to put it in the bin but Chace came in my way and spilt the food all over me. Everyone saw. It was so embarrassing. There was a sticky mess all over me. Not to mention that his Apple juice spilt all over me too! And I was wearing a white shirt. Everyone was going ‘ooo’ and ‘ahh’. Courts mouth was wide open.

"What's wrong with you?!" I shouted. I was so annoyed. This was so embarrassing!

"I'm really sorry, I'll help you clean up," he insisted. He was going to get some paper towels. By now, everyone had looked away. Phew! He came back and he started dabbing my shirt.

"Ermm....how about, I do it." I took a paper towel and did it myself.

"Yeah, sorry..."

Then I heard Hailey call him. He said "I'm coming", but she came up behind him and turned him around and kissed him. Long and dirty! I was shocked! I didn't think they were already kissing and stuff. It went on for like a minute. Ew! I stormed out and went to my locker to change into my spare clothes. I knew a day like this would come and I was prepared. I had an oversized Lakers Sweater and it was comfy. I went to the girl bathroom and changed there.

I came out and I saw Chace waiting for me outside. I went out and talked to him.

"What do you want, now?!"

"Oh....sorry about that. I just came to check if you were alright."

"Why would you care?! After smacking lips with your girlfriend!"

"I didn't know she was going to do that!"

"I don't even have time for this!" I tried to walk off but he pulled me back.

"Brooke, please. I'm sorry, I just want to be friends again."

"Friends again?! I don't even want to know you anymore!" That's when I really walked off. I'm living my normal life and that's it.

I was walking down the hallway and a boy crashed into me! What now?!

"What do you want?!" I was vexed.

"Ohh I'm really sorry, I'm new, I just wanted to know where the Science Block is." he seemed nice but it's strange how he was a senior (I could tell), and he just came to my school. It's the last year! I don't see why you need to move schools! Anyways, I told him where to go and he said "Thanks". At least he had manners.

I watched him walk away to make sure he was going the right way because I don't like giving people wrong info! I turned back around and Court was all up in my face!

"Who was that hottie you were talking too?" her eyes lit up. Geez! This girl was excited!

"Oh, he said he was new and stuff."

"Omg! He's so cute! You guys should hook up!"

"I can't hook up with every guy I see! But I don't mind being his friend. I think he's in the same class as us!" the bell rang and me and Court went to Biology. What a coincidence?!

-

I sat down and I saw him and smiled. I wanted to make sure that I didn't seem rude earlier in the hall way. I walked over to him.

"Hey. Sorry if I seemed rude earlier in the hallway, I was having a bad day-"

"Nah, it's alright. I'm Justin." he interrupted but

"I'm Brooke." I smiled and as soon as the teacher came in, I quickly went back to my desk.

"So what's his name?" Court asked.

"It's Justin."

"That's a hot name!" Court squealed.

"Well, he seems nice."

"If we're doing a project in this lesson, you're totally working with him!"

"What?! Isn't that a little pushy? And who are you going to work with?"

"Don't worry about who I'm going to work with! Just get Justin!" Court said.

I don't want to look pushy and stuff. But I hope he doesn't see me that way. I hoped we wouldn't do a project! I've got way too many to do!

Miss Stevens said we had to a Biology Project and we had to make a red blood cell model. This was going to be easy! She told us to find a partner. I saw Justin looking around, and I wasn't sure whether I should go to him. But Court pushed me to him, like she always does! She pushed me really hard that I almost crashed into him! Luckily, he caught me. We weren't extremely close, so it wasn't really awkward.

"Thanks", I said, then turned around and glared at Court. She had planned this all along.

"No problem", he smiled. His dark blue eyes were so enticing. Wow! His eyes looked really....cool.

"So anyway, ermm.....do you have a partner?" I asked.

"No."

"Do you want to be partners? I mean....you don't.....have....to...." It would be so embarrassing if he said no, and I had to walk back over to my table.

"Sure." he smiled. Phew! He didn't think I was creepy.

So we sat down and started planning.

"So maybe we could make it out of paper mâché?" I suggested.

"Yeah, or clay."

"Yeah, you're right. Paper mâché would have bumps and that's not what a red blood cell would look like." I chucked.

In the corner of my eye, I saw Chace staring intently at me. Geez! Why can't he leave me alone? He should go back to his slutty girlfriend and stay out of my life.

It was lunch and I was sooo hungry! I stuffed a pizza in my mouth and it looked really unladylike. I saw Justin looking at me and he seemed to be laughing. It kind of made me laugh too. Court gestures Justin to sit down on our table. Apparently, she already introduced herself to him. Then she made the silliest excuse.

"Well, I got to go to the library. So you guys should catch up", she winked at me and grabbed her bag and left.

Then it was a bit awkward, since she just invited him to sit down and then immediately left.

"So...."

"Do you find this awkward?" he asked. What? How was I supposed to respond to that?

"Err...no.", I lied.

"I could tell by your expression, and the way you stopped eating your pizza." he was right. I didn't realise but I stopped eating my pizza when he sat down. Lol.

I just chuckled. Just to clear the ear.

"So, tell me a bit about yourself. I mean, since we're friends, I just want to get to know you. Unless, you don't really want to be my friend. That's cool. I mean, I'm pretty boring and-"

"I love the way you're just rambling." he interrupted. I kinda felt embarrassed. I looked down and tried to hide my face. I didn't know I was rambling. Do I always ramble?

"Look, it's okay. I ramble sometimes." he reassured me. I kinda felt better when he said that. I thought I was the only one.

"Oh okay"

"So, are you free tonight?" he asked.

"Yeah", actually I wasn't because I had homework but that could wait.

"Meet me at the diner at 6", he sounded so cool and casual.

"Okay." I tried to act cool but it came out as a question. Then he left. Did he ask me out on a date?
