983 Words
"Mallory, what are you wearing?" Angelica asks as I came down the stairs.
"What?" I replied.
"What are you wearing?" She repeated.
"Uh.. clothes?"
"No."
I was wearing a grey hoodie with leggings and converse. I tied my hair up in a ponytail and had my glasses on. I had no makeup on. I was wearing my black backpack.
"It's comfy." I told her.
"Aren't you hot?" She asks.
I shook my head. "It's only 70 something degrees."
I walked to the door and opened it.
"Hey Mal- oh.." Jayden says.
"Hey Jay." I said.
"Uh.. I.. bye."
I watched him walk away. What?
Jayden's POV:
Okay, Jayden. You can do this. You can tell her that you like her.
I was in front of her house, in my car.
I got out and walked to the front door.
The door opened.
"Hey Mal- oh." I said.
"Hey Jay." She says.
"Uh.. I.. bye."
I turned around and quickly walked.
I did not expect that to happen.
Mallory's POV:
"Do you not a ride to school?" Angelica asks.
"Nah, I don't want to embarrass you, Angelica." I said.
"You don't embarrass me."
"Me, dressin' like this? Yes, I will."
"I honestly don't care." She said. "Come on, I'll give you a ride."
She grabbed her bag and we went out the door.
We got to school and everybody's gaze was on me.
"What are you guys looking at?" Angelica snapped.
I bit my bottom lip and walked in the building.
"Mallory!" I heard Angelica yell my name.
I went in and bumped into somebody.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" I apologized.
I realized that it was Oscar.
"Oh.. so the nerd's back, huh?" He said.
"What?"
"The nerd's back."
Bipolar.
"Yes, I'm back. I've always been back." I told him. "I've always been a nerd."
"Hm.. I wonder how the nerd is in bed." He smirked.
"There aren't any beds.." I clarified.
"Oh, so you're in for some fun?" He asked.
"Ew! What?! No!"
He grabbed my arm and dragged me into the janitor's closet.
He closed the door behind him.
"So, nerd, are you ready for some fun?" He smirked.
"Oscar.. calm down." I told him.
"I am calmed."
He took off his belt.
"We're in school." I said.
"I don't care where we are."
I pushed pass him but he grabbed me and threw me.
"No! Oscar!" I screamed.
He took off my hoodie. I was wearing a tank top under.
"Impressive." he said.
Jayden's POV:
"Hey, Angelica, have you seen Mallory?" I asked her. "I have to tell her something important."
"I was just about to ask you the same thing." she said.
"So no?"
She shook her head. "She ran inside."
"Dammit." I mumbled.
I ran back inside the building.
"Oscar!" I heard somebody yelled. "Get off me!"
It sounded like Mallory's. I followed the noise to the janitor's closet.
I quickly opened the door and saw Oscar ontop of Mallory.
I pulled Oscar back and punched him as hard as I could. I was so pissed.
He fell back and Mallory got up.
The security guards came and took him.
The principal came and asks, "What happened?"
"Oscar tried to r**e my girl!" I answered.
Mallory's POV:
My girl?
"Oscar?" Principal Hamilton asks.
I nodded my head.
"He slapped me, grabbed my wrists."
I circled my wrist.
Oscar said, "That b***h-"
"We need to talk, Oscar." Principal Hamilton instructed.
"We have-!"
"Come with me right now."
They left.
"Are you okay?" Jay asks.
"I'm fine." I told him.
"You don't look fine."
"I am. I promise."
"Your hair is messed up."
I took down my messed up ponytail.
He looked around.
"What are you looking for?" I asked.
He located something and picked it up.
"Your glasses broke." He showed me.
"Really?!" I exclaimed. "Ugh! Those were expensive! Dammit Oscar!"
"Can you see well?"
"I brought my contacts so I'm good."
I took out the contacts in my bag.
"Can you take out your phone and open your camera for me please?" I ask.
"Sure." he smiled.
He took it out and held it out for me so I can see myself in the camera.
I put my contacts on.
"Mallory!" Angelica called out my name.
I turned around.
"Where did you go?" She asks. "I was so worried!"
"I'm fine." I told her.
"You don't look fine." She said. "What happened?"
"Everything's fine, Angelica."
"Alright." She sighed.
"Babe, are you okay?" Donavan asks Angelica.
She rolled her eyes. "Shut up, nobody's your babe."
"Uh.. Mallory?" Jay says.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Can you come somewhere with me?"
"Where?"
"It's a secret."
"We have class..." I told him.
"It's okay. We can be excused."
I bit my lip. "Uh.. okay?"
He grabbed my hand and we left the building.
We got in his car and he drove.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"It's a secret." he said.
"A new place for tutoring?"
"Something like that." he answered, being focused on the road.
The drive was about 10 minutes.
"We're here." He announced.
We both got out of the car.
"Wow." I said.
"Do you like it?" He asks.
"I do. It's beautiful."
The view was amazing. It was a small beach and there was a huge tree which looked like the perfect place to be. There was also a bed swing.
"It could be our secret place," he says. "only us and ours."
We walked to the huge tree and the leaves and branches covered the sun. The shade was beautiful.
I sat on the bed swing and he sat next to me.
"I brought books!" I remembered.
I took it out but he grabbed my hand.
"No, I didn't bring you here to tutor me." He said.
"Then.. what?"
"I have something important to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I like you.." he started to say. "a lot."
