Arranged Marriage with a Bad Boy

Pranked the Bad Boy

Cassie's POV

'So, Cassie, do you wanna get back at Henry? I can help you with that ' Ashley said, smiling mischievously. Oh, I love this girl already.

' Yes, I do.' I said with a smirk.

' I know that smile, what are you up to ?' Kelvin asked, giving me a "I know you" smile.

' You will see, but then I wanna get something from the school stall' I said, running away.

' Cassie, at least tell us, would ya ?' I heard Ashley yell.

Henry's P.O.V

I was in my favorite spot in school, feeling like I had committed the gravest sin on earth. I had just poured a drink on her, yet Theo and Liam are making me feel like I'm the bad guy here. I got to class and headed to my seat, ignoring the screams of the girls in class.

Suddenly, I stopped on my track. What is she up to now? Something isn't right, because she was smiling at me like nothing had happened earlier. I looked around me to be sure that I wasn't standing in a trap.

Okay, I'm safe.

I looked back at her, she still had the smile on her face.

' Henry, what do you want now, huh? Why don't you go to your sit and stop staring at me like a lost sheep ' she said with a smirk.

' I'm gonna do just that even if you don't tell me ' I huffed and went to my seat.

' So, have you apologized to her ?' Theo asked.

' No and I don't think I'm ever gonna do that '

' You're so... ' just then a teacher came in.

Thank God, he came at the right time. I just couldn't stand Theo and Liam scoldings.

Can anyone tell me what we talked about yesterday? ' he said, looking at everyone.

I rested my head on my table. Literature is just so boring.

' Um... Sir, why don't Henry tell us? ' I raised my head upon hearing that.

Everyone was looking in my direction, but my attention was on the stupid girl, looking back at me with a smirk on her face. Okay, what was that for?

' Henry, can you please tell us what we talked about yesterday in class? ' The teacher asked. I turned to look at him, I looked back at Cassie and then back at him. I shook my head and stood up. But, I couldn't. I blinked and tried again, still nothing. Something is off. I looked over at Cassie and saw her smiling mischievously.

Don't tell me... f**k!

The class had gone quiet, obviously waiting for me. So I tried again, but it just wouldn't budge, cause my ass was stuck in the chair!

This can't be happening right now.

I looked around, the students were all looking at me, including Theo and Liam. I could feel a sweat coming down my neck. Okay, I think I am in for a big embarrassment.

'Henry, we're still waiting, please can you not waste my time ?' I heard the teacher say. I glanced at him, and he had a serious look on his face. Oh my...he really meant it. I swallowed hard.

' Yeah, Henry, don't waste our time, okay ' Cassie said with an eye roll like she knew nothing of what was happening to me. I'm so gonna get back at her.

' Dude, what's with you? Get your butt off the chair and answer this man. You sure don't wanna get on his bad side ' Theo said in a hushed tone. I scoffed. He doesn't know what I'm passing through right now.

How bad can it be? I thought. I closed my eyes and stood up with the chair still on my ass. Immediately, the students started laughing. I could see the amused look in Mr. Simpson's face. I faced the class and holy molly!

They were taking pics of me. That was way too much for me to bear.

I looked at Cassie. She had this look of satisfaction on her face, she winked at me and at that moment I felt like strangling her.

' Okay, class, that's enough, so Henry, can you answer my question now ?' I could feel the glint of laughter in his voice. The students stopped laughing, and the class became dead quiet.

' Um...sir, we talked about the Shakespearean dramas, some of which are ' Romeo and Juliet ' , ' Hamlet ' and ' Othello ' I said.

' Thank you, you can go back to your seat now.' He said. I nodded and went back to my seat. Not my seat but my table, cause my seat was stuck to my ass. I could feel the stares and hear the whispers of the students. I avoided looking at Cassie, when I got closer to her seat, I wouldn't want her to think she had won.

' Sorry man, you looked so pathetic out there ' Liam whispered in a mocking tone. I glared at him and immediately, he turned away.

Immediately after the teacher left, I dragged Cassie's hair.

' Hey! What's that for, huh? ' She yelped as she slapped my hand away.

' Oh, you're pretending like you don't know what you did, right? ' I said, ignoring the fact that the students were already looking at us.

' Look, I don't know what you're talking about '

' Cas...' I was about to say, but a teacher came in.

' This isn't over ' I growled, glaring at her. She rolled her eyes at me and turned.

Soon it was closing hour. Immediately, Cassie, that annoying boy and a girl I knew her name to be Ashley, stood up to leave.

' Where do you think you're going?' I asked and they turned to look at me.

' Obviously, my home ' she rolled her eyes.

I scoffed and was about to stand up but remembered my predicament, so I just remained in my seat cursing inwardly. A few students were still in class. I don't wanna cause more humiliation for myself.

' Look, I know what you did, so stop playing dumb ' I huffed. I was really frustrated.

' What did I do?'

'Just get the hell out of here.' I ignored her question, not wanting to make her feel she had won.

'Okay.' She said, with a shrug of her shoulders. Then she turned and walked away, with her stupid minions laughing.

Cassie's P.O.V

' You were really great back there ' Ashley cooed as we waited for our drivers to come pick us up. Speaking of us, I meant Ashley and I, cause Kelvin came with his bike.

' At least with that, he won't mess with me again ' I said, feeling proud of myself.

' I don't think he's gonna back down that easily, I mean he's so....geez I don't even know what to say about him '. Kelvin pointed out.

' He's right, Henry always wanted to show off and now that what happened earlier had spread throughout the whole school, I'm pretty sure he's not gonna let you off that easily '. Ashley agreed.

' I would be waiting for him ' I said, feeling less concerned.

' You better be careful, Cassie ' Kelvin warned.

'Geez I'm no kid okay '

' Says the girl who locked herself up in a restroom to cry her eyes out ' he said, and I bit my lips in embarrassment. Kelvin and Ashley laughed.

' Oh, my ride is here ' I said as I sighted my car coming towards us.

' Bye, see you tomorrow ' Ashley said, hugging me.

' Bye Ashley, bye Kelvin ' I said as my driver opened the door to the owner's side for me.

' So, she gets a hug, but I don't?' Kelvin pouted his lips. Oh! He looked so cute doing that. Ashley and I laughed at his childishness.

' Get in here ' I said, and moved to hug him.

' Now I feel better ' he said, flashing me a grin.

I shook my head, smiling and went inside my car, then my driver closed the door. I waved at them as my driver drove away.

Later that day...

' Cassie, mom and dad want you downstairs ' Laney called out to me and ran back.

' Okay, I wo...' I stopped talking, cause there was no point doing that, she wouldn't even hear me. I climbed out of my bed and wore my flip-flop.

I went downstairs to meet my parents, who looked like they were having a serious conversation. I cleared my throat to gain their attention.

' Cassie, you're here already.' My mom said with a smile.

' Yeah ' I said, plopping myself on a couch.

' We wanted to tell you something ' Dad said, looking serious.

I sat straight feeling anxious to hear what he had to say.

' We are having some guests on Saturday. So I would want you to be present on that day. ' Dad said.

Why must I really be present? What if I had somewhere important to go to on that day?

' Is it necessary for me to be here?' I asked.

' Yeah baby, you have to be present ' My mom replied.

I looked at my mom and then to my dad, then back at my mom again.

' Okay, I will. Not like I have anywhere to go anyway ' I said with a smile.

' Thanks, Princess ' My dad said, smiling at me. I smiled back at him and at my mom.

I stood up and left for my room.

Henry's P.O.V

' Henry, come back here! ' My dad yelled after me. I ignored him as I headed for my room, but stopped when I heard my mom's voice.

' Henry, please listen to your dad ' I closed my eyes and opened it again, then turned slowly.

' Okay, fine. I'm gonna go with you guys to the f****d up place, but just for my mom's sake ' I said, already tired of arguing with him.

' You better do, because if you ever think of changing your mind, I swear I'm gonna show you the other side of me, you sure don't like ' My dad said, giving me a hard glare.

I had a little laugh.

' Not like I'm not used to it anyway ' I scoffed.

' Henry, don't talk to your dad like that ' My mom said with a pleading look. I looked at her for a moment, then turned to leave.

' You better warn that kid of yours ' I heard my dad say.

I slammed my room door shut immediately I got to my room. I fell on my bed feeling really exhausted.

I've had enough for today. At first, I got humiliated at school by Cassie. Now dad's telling me it is necessary to come along with them to visit one of his business partners. I scoffed, what has that got to do with me? He had better pray I don't have anywhere to go on that day, cause if I do, I'm not gonna leave my own plans for his sake.

I got up and went to my toilet to take a quick bath. I came out with a towel round my waist, I dried myself and put on my PJs. I laid on my bed with my art book and a pencil and began drawing whatever was on my mind.

Soon after I was done, I smiled at myself and raised it up to have a clear view of what I had drawn.
