I Don't Date Bad Boys

It was the first day back to school and I felt great. I woke up 20 mins early and got my hair, makeup and outfit ready. I wanted to look my best today. I was wearing a cute floral crop top, a denim jacket, some black high waist jeans rolled up at the bottom and my white converses. This was my senior year and I wanted to make sure that I got through it without any interruptions. I had my whole life planned out. 1. Graduate 2. Go to Harvard 3. Go to Medical School 4. Become a Doctor 5. Get Married to an amazing man 6. Have kids 7. Live happily ever after And no one was going to get in my way. "Brooke, come downstairs! Breakfast's ready!" my mom shouted. I rushed down to get my breakfast because at the beginning of every school year, my mom would always make the best breakfast and if I didn't get down there quick enough, my brothers would have eaten it all. I grabbed my bag, rushed out my room and almost tripped over my little sister, Kadie. She was crying because she lost her bow. She had 10 bows but she cared about the ugly purple one with white frills. She didn't seem to care about the breakfast because she only likes cereal. I ran downstairs and I was too late. Everything was gone. My older brother Josh said "Sorry, you were too slow. Maybe next time." He smirked. My little brother Mason just laughed in my face. He was 4 years younger than me and he acted like the older one. I slowly walked to the pantry and grabbed a breakfast bar. My mom bought them because she knew someone would miss out on her special cooking. It would always be me. I walked out of the house and got in my car. I drove to school and on my way, this i***t was reversing and almost crashed into me. Why was he even reversing? I'm also not surprised to see he was driving a Ferrari. I got to school and as soon as I got out of my car I saw Courtney, my best friend. She looked really excited and almost hyper. "Hey! I haven't seen you all summer" she said, hugging me. "Me too! I've missed you!" I replied. "It's been so boring without y...." She froze. Her eyes were focused on something behind me. I turned around and it was this new guy in a Ferrari. He came out and took off his shades, trying to look cool. Then I realised. He was the guy that almost crashed into me and now he goes to my school. Great! All the girls were practically drooling over him and all the boys were getting jealous. He had a biker jacket and some black jeans with chains. He was definitely a bad boy! Ugh! We walked past everyone and on his way he winked at me. Really?! Who does he think he is! He can't come in here and expect everyone to love him. No way! The worst part is that he was undeniably hot. Which made his plan work better. I hate boys, to begin with, but most especially bad boys. All they do is try to get in every girl's pants, drink alcohol, take drugs, do graffiti and overall they're just BAD! They ruin their lives and end up getting nowhere in life. They usually end up in prison. Or they're the hobos you see on the streets. I obviously didn't want to get involved with him or his bad boy ways. Courtney couldn't stop talking about him all the way to class. "He's so hot! The abs, the muscle, the peachy bum and his smile! He's got it all!" she said. "Yeah right..." "What? He's so sexy!" "Ew, no! He's gross. He probably drinks or sleeps with milfs!" I said, unfortunately, a bit too loud because he decided to come my way. "Is that what you think about me?" he said with a smirk on his face. "Yeah, that's exactly what I think of you!" I said boldly. Oddly enough, I was shocked at the words that came out of my mouth. His groupies glared at me. I'm not one to start a fight. I was going to say sorry but he quickly replied. "Well, I can make you change you change your mind, baby." he said with a wink before walking off. To think I was gonna apologise. "Woah! He likes you!" Court nudged me. "What? No! He's just trying to get me in bed or something…" I replied, disgusted at his motives. "Why are you so judgy! He winked at you after you were so rude to him! If you don't take him, I will!" "You can have him, but be careful, his groupies are gonna kill you. Did you see the red-heads face? I swear she was gonna b***h slap me!" We both laughed and made our way to History class. - The new boy was late to class. What a surprise. I listened out for his name in the register and turns out it was Chace. Court kept commenting on how hot he was and how amazing his face was. I know she's my best friend but sometimes I wanna staple her mouth shut. Ok… too far. We had to do a project on the Native Americans and we had to do it in partners. The teachers never wanted me and Court to work together because we were best friends and 'we needed to interact with other people in the class'. The teacher was calling out the pairs: Hayley and Justin Lily and Logan Brandi and Matt Jade and Ryan Lia and Tyler Courtney and Reece Brooke and Chace Mckenzie and Noah WAIT WHAT?! I HAD TO WORK WITH CHACE ?! That had to be a mistake. I went over to my teacher, Miss Michaels and begged her to swap me with someone else. She said "it wouldn't be fair on the new boy. It would make him feel like you don't like him". He had a Ferrari, a bunch of groupies and he looked great! He has everything he wants! Why would he care if his partner gets swapped in a History project? And why would he care if I don't like him? This is BS! We had to plan our project in class so I had to move my chair all the way to him. I just wanted to rip that smug look off his face. He's so annoying. Ugh! "I guess you couldn't resist me. Could you?” he said. His hazel eyes directly staring into mine. "Actually, the teacher forced me to work with you. I even begged her to swap us around but she wouldn't. So I guess I'm stuck with you.” I rolled my eyes and looked to the corner. I couldn't look at him without puking! "Hey." he said, trying to get my attention. I wouldn't look at him so he grabbed my hand. My heart skipped a beat. He touched my hand softly and it was so gentle. Like one of those scenes in the movies. I slowly looked at him and he was looking at me in the eyes again. He wasn't smirking or anything, he looked almost apologetic. I looked down on the table and he quickly moved his hand and then he smirked. Why was he always smirking? Is he trying to seduce me? 'Cause if he was, then good luck to him. He probably does this to all the girls. "Let's just get this over with." I said, breaking the silence. I would have called it an awkward silence but he found it amusing. I started discussing what our project could be about. I had it all planned out, we would make a detailed presentation about the Native Americans. Then we would do a quiz to interact with the class. It was simple. "Let's meet at my house after school, to sort things out." I said "Why don't you do all the work and I take the credit for it." he slumped back in his chair "We actually have to work together. Or I'm not gonna write your name on it at the end." "Fine." "We can write about their ways of life and the environment around them." suggested, a bit nervous because I've never really talked like this to a boy I barely know. "Yeah, and after we could make out and run away together." he wiggled his eyebrows. "Yeah and then I could wrap my arms around your neck and-" "Kiss me?" "No! Strangle you!" "Cool, we could still make out after." he winked. He was so cheeky and annoying. "Here's my address and come by at 4:30 pm" I gave him a note with my address on it. "Sure, babe" he winked. I just ignored him and got on with my work The bell rang before I could say anything, and I made my way to my next lesson. Behind me, I heard Chace shout "Love you too." Everyone heard and I was so embarrassed. They were all sniggering and laughing. Ugh! - I got home and my little sister was in the living room watching TV. I expected her to be watching he kiddy shows but she was watching ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’. I had to grab the remote and change the channel before she starts picking up some of their phrases. I told Kadie not to say a word to Chace when he came and she shouldn't throw one of her stupid tantrums in front on him. I made my way up to my room and cleaned my room for when Chace came. I actually regret inviting him. My mom went out to get the groceries, so when she was back, I would tell her to act normal around Chace. Usually, she thinks every boy I bring home, is my boyfriend. She says things like "Have you guys kissed yet? Tell me the juicy details!" She's meant to be my mother, not my friend! All of a sudden, I heard the doorbell ring. I guessed it was my mom and I groaned. Every time she came home with groceries, I would be the one to clear it up and put all the things in the cabinets and shove things in the pantry. I went downstairs, taking my time. The doorbell ringed again. Geez! My mom must be angry. I opened the door and to my surprise it was Chace! He was an hour early. Wtf! I'm never inviting him over again! Gosh! He stepped in without asking and looked around. Of course, my house was smaller than this. "What? Never seen a house this small?" I said. My house wasn't really small. It had 4 bedrooms. But it wasn't huge. The kitchen was tiny and the living room was barely a room but I liked it. "No. It's nice and....cosy." he said with a genuine smile. Wow. I've never seen him actually smile. For real, at least. It was a real million dollar smile. He looked so gorgeous and like a model! I felt kinda nervous. He looked so much better than me! Now I saw what Court was talking about. SNAP OUT OF IT! He's trying to win you over and you can't let him! He caught me staring. "See something you like?" he smirked. He smirks all the time. Especially around me. He talked so confidently, like he was right about everything. But he usually wasn't. "Nope! All I see is garbage!" I replied. Did that sound a little a rude? I didn't actually mean it. He looked down and he looked kinda hurt. "I'm sorry...I...I...I didn't mean it. Usually....I...I'm nice....but...I didn't..." I got flustered and I felt bad. I've never really made someone this upset. I felt like a horrible person. I tried to apologise but it didn't come out right. Suddenly, he burst out laughing. I felt humiliated. My little sister was in the corner and she was laughing too. How could he do this to me? I felt like crap. "Ha ha! You actually thought I was upset! And then you couldn't talk properly!" he laughed in my face. "What is wrong with you?!! Let's just go upstairs and get on with the project!" I said - frustrated. We went up and I was surprised he didn't say anything about my room. It wasn't that big but it was a bit smaller than average. He sat down on my bed like it was his. What a... I can't even think of a name to call him! We started doing the work. Chace was trying to distract me and it wasn't working. He barely wrote anything down and I had already written 2 whole pages of information. He pulled a silly face and I thought it was pathetic. But then he pulled this really funny one because it reminded me of when I kneed Josh in the baby maker after he said I looked like a tramp. I couldn't hold in the laughter. Instantly, I burst out laughing. I almost fell off my bed. His face was red and it looked like he was going to explode and it was so hard to describe. But it was funny. Then he said the unthinkable... "You're cute when you laugh." Immediately, my cheeks went red. No guy has ever called me cute before - and I didn't think the first one would be... Chace Reed?
