I Don't Date Bad Boys

Why are you apologising?

I looked in the mirror and my face looked fine. I had a small red mark but I just covered it up with concealer. I felt like myself again.

I decided to wear a black crop top with a knot at the front, some denim jeans and my white Nike air maxes. I had to go to school, like nothing happened. I just hope I didn't draw attention to myself.

I got to school and everyone was staring at me. Literally, everyone. I felt really uncomfortable. We're they staring at my bump? Because I'm pretty sure I covered it up nicely.

I saw Chace walking down the hallway, I was going to go up to him but as soon as he saw me, he turned the other way and left. Why was he avoiding me?

I got to History class and our project was due for today. I totally forgot! I'm usually so organised. Chace and I ended up getting detention.

-

We were in detention and we had to continue with our Native American projects. It was really awkward with Chace. He wouldn't look at me or even talk to me. I don't know what I did wrong.

"So maybe you can write about their culture."

He nodded.

"And I can write about their clothing."

He nodded again.

"Maybe you can write about Columbus finding them."

He nodded again.

"Then I could kill your mum and have s*x with your dad!" I said, testing him to see if he was really listening.

He nodded again.

There was a long pause. There’s no point buttering him up, I really should just get to the point.

"I'm sorry." I said. "I tried to tell them it wasn't your fault. They shouldn't have kicked you out-"

"Why are you apologising?"

"Because it's my fault."

"What? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have swung for Justin, but I didn't expect you to get in the way. I was jealous when you went on a date with Justin. I wasn't thinking star right. I was an i***t. And I'm still an i***t. You deserve to hate me." he held my hand so tenderly and looked me in the eyes. He was really sincere and apologetic. I didn't know he felt this way. But I had to ask an important question.

"But why did you got out with Hailey?"

"Oh…I…err…never mind."

"Why can't you give me a straight answer?"

"Well, I just like her."

"That doesn't make sense. If you like her, then why did you get jealous and ruin my date!"

"I didn't want you dating other boys."

"So, you can date whoever you want, but I can't? That is so selfish."

"You were so quick to find another boy toy!"

"What about you? You're such a hypocrite!"

"I never went on a date with her!"

"But you kissed her! Right in front of my face!"

"I didn't know she was going to do that. At least I helped you clean up!"

"After you 'accidentally'spilt your lunch all over me? You're so unbelievable!"

"It was an accident. You ran away before I could actually help you!"

"I don't need your help! You ruin everything!"

"No, I don't! You're the one that went out with the new boy! I'm sure that's what you do with all the boys you see!"

"You ditched me for Hailey! Don't you remember? I tried to be your friend but you left me. So don't turn this all against me!"

"I didn't ditch you! I just moved on."

"Are you listening to what you're saying? You're such an asshole! Why did you ditch me for Hailey?"

"Because I wanted to!"

"You're such a jerk! You pretend to be my friend, but then you just move on to someone else. How do you think that makes me feel!?!" I said, with tears in my eyes. I was so upset and angry at all the things he said. He was so evil.

"I'm sorry Brooke-"

"No! I don't have time for this!" I grabbed my bag and stormed out. I went home. I couldn't stand him anymore. I heard footsteps across the corridor and of course, it was Chace. I didn't bother to turn around.

But he grabbed my shoulders and turned me around and all of a sudden his lips smacked against mine. It was so soft and passionate. It wasn't my first kiss but it was the best. I couldn't let go. It went on for like a minute. It was so compelling and it made me feel things I've never felt before.

"Now will you listen to me?"
