Undeniable Love For The Bad Boy

Chapter 3 ELIJAH POV

Growing up in Province, and being insanely wealthy has been a joy so far. I seem to have everything and everyone at my disposal. It is such a win win situation for me. I mean, come on. I live in a mansion, have cooks and maids and butlers galore. I am the guy girls want desperately to be with, and the one guys want to become. Yeah I am self absorbed but why shouldn't I be? Not my fault I grew up privileged with everything handed to me on a silver platter.

Only downside? I grew up raised by nanny after nanny so whenever I if and when I need my parents advice, I basically have to schedule a meeting with them. Yeah, that's how family oriented they are. Mother is a famous lawyer and my dad owns a boatload of hotels all around the world. Put two and two together and they both are rarely ever home and never have time for me. They were born wealthy too, so I'm guessing they are raising me as they had been raised when they were younger. It's normal for them to be absentee parents and it suites me just fine. I can come and go as I please and do whatever the f!ck I want. I am living the good life.

My friends, Allison, Noah, Tammy and I have all been close since we were in diapers. Due to our elite social standing, our friendship was the most important thing to our social hierarchy. We rule everywhere we go, because of everyone knowing who the hell we are, especially in school. Since JHS we have ruled our surroundings with an iron fist. We all were believed to be invincible and we haven't backed down to anything or anyone.

We are the four to not mess with. We are jerks, plain and simple. We are arrogant as f!ck and we are way better than any of the other kids in school. We never fail to make damn well sure everyone remembers it. However, the only one to be unaffected by us is the girl who is just so damn annoying with her goody two shoes personality, that it drives me insane and bothers me tremendously. The girl I speak of is none other then Emma Sinclair.

I have known this girl since JHS and it has always irked me to some degree whenever she was picked to help the teacher out by passing out assignments or whenever she volunteered to head the annual bake sale or even worked in the main office filing papers. Girl was everywhere I swear. She was such a people pleaser and school lover. Why did she try so hard? Did she actually really like school that much?

She always seemed to be the very best at everything and I couldn't help but be annoyed. It really did piss me off. I never said a word to her and acted as if she didn't exist. I would watch as she would help hand out assignments for the teacher during class with such a sweet smile, that when she always handed me the paper with that damn smile of hers I would roll my eyes and look away. Slowly, as time went by, her smile started to falter around me since I acted as if she wasn't anything but a waste of space, but it was back on her face when she handed the paper to the next kid. I was actually beginning to be f!cking jealous of the kid. The thing that really nagged me was the fact that Emma was beyond beautiful. Her smile could light up a room. The same smile that she thought I hated but secretly loved.

As time went on, I figured I'd try to make rude remarks or try to get her attention by bothering her just to get a rise out of her, a simple f!cking reaction. She always seemed like the perfect target, but, I knew I was doing it for other reasons. I was drawn to this girl, like a moth to a flame. Tammy was all for bullying her because she liked acting all superior to everyone. I did it for the fun of the chase. Emma hated confrontation and I really just always wanted to get under her skin. I prayed for her to say anything, do anything, f!cking, even slap me but nothing.

Allison and Noah always tried to tell me to stop but I never listened. Who the hell are they to tell me what to do? What continued to piss me off was that she would never say anything back to me or get mad. She simply walked away or returned the favor by acting like I didn't exist. Tammy and I can belch out every dig you can imagine and she would not give two craps. I was literally haunting her existence but no attention was ever made to me.

Acting like a jerk is what I am good at but when it came to this girl, I couldn't help but feel this nagging f!cking pull to her. I watched her constantly. She was the only one I saw. She was the only one I want to know more about but that would never happen because of how I treated her. I kept digging my own grave when it came to Emma.

I kept the d!ckhead act up even after Emma became friends with Melanie, the class rebel. That girl is just pure crazy and has serious anger issues. She stands up for Emma all the time. Melanie is her own personal bodyguard that she actually managed to push me into a wall when I bothered Emma one day claiming she was was nothing but a nerd. Melanie hates when I call her that.

Now that we are in HS in our Junior year we, as in me and Tammy, still find ways to annoy her. I am still infatuated with egging her on. Nowadays, Tammy seems to have been going a little bit overboard with her torments towards Emma, but that is on her. Yeah, I could tell her to stop, but then I would have to deal with the countless number of questions as to why. All I would hear is blah blah blah, and I am not going to go down that road.

It was Monday and I was driving my friends to school in my precious Ferrari when Tammy saw Melanie and Emma walking. Of course she told me to stop the car even though I had no choice to because the light was turning red. She rolled down the window to make some kind of snide comment, which I allowed because you know, I have nothing better to do than be a pr!ck at all times, but when my eyes saw Emma, something snapped in my body. Not sure what it was, but its like I saw her in a different light, more than I ever had before. When Tammy was done scolding her I seen Melanie was about to pounce by noticing her taking off her backpack that I quickly sped away. I did not want Melanie beating the sh!t out of my car. Tammy started hysterically laughing like a crazy person, looked at me and said "I literally hate those two so much." I am well aware evil one.

All I could think when I was driving to school was that I'm starting to get tired of the same old torment routine with this girl. I need to take a different approach because it is killing me inside to know her. I have no idea why. I do know why. I have been drawn to this girl for years and now, I want to be just me with her. Not the jerk me. The me who is afraid to show their true selves to anybody. I want to show her who I could be to her and I want to know more about her. Her hopes, her dreams, her wants, and more importantly, her needs. I want to be her everything.

We all head to class and by days end we take our math exam. We figure why study when our parents will pay to get us out of here so we just scribble and hand it in. I know my stuff and I sort of get decent grades in my other classes but I don't really care. All I want is to graduate and who knows what will be next. Money can get me anywhere. I am such a privileged pr!ck, I know.

By Friday we receive our tests back and Mrs. Russo calls out me Tammy Allison and Noahs names to stay after class. She even calls out Emma's name too. Why did she say Emma? Did she happen to fail a test? That's definitely not like her. She's never failed a test before. I was in a good mood up until this moment. Tammy had decided to throw a party tonight for the football team because of course when I deny her she immediately goes for the QB Kevin, Emmas brother. Not like Tammy doesn't try and get with me which I do not object to at times but her eyes are really for Kevin. We use each other for the hell of it. Haven't gone all the way with her but she gives and I take.

My mood is now changed to aggravated when Mrs. Russo wants us to take Saturday tutoring classes and volunteers Emma to be our tutor. My friends all start rambling on about how this was unfair and that our parents will get us out of this predicament.

"It is what it is. If you spent half the time studying as you do bullying you would not be in this situation. Do not think I do not have eyes and ears. You four are the most ruthless students but not anymore. I refuse to see you four wind up staying in this school any more than you have to. Is that okay Emma? Can you please help these four to get out of this school for the sake of all the other students?" I watch as the pleads with her eyes staring at Emma.

I watch Emmas face and see this is a major blow. Her eyes look like they will pop out of her skull but she nods and then asks a favor. Mrs. Russo asks what the favor is and I am just as curious.

"I'll teach them to the best of my ability but they need to listen and not make any snide remarks or I will quit and they'll be on their own." She says with such finality and then walks away. I am floored.

She actually had a reply for once. I was beyond amazed. I mean of all the times we nagged and bothered her, she finally said something. At that moment I knew that she was different and I actually respected her for standing up to us. I watched as she left and headed for her locker. My brain said to leave her alone but my body denied instantly and led me to right to her. It was that damn pull again and I leaned against the locker next to hers and waited till she closed the door.

"First time I ever heard you talk back Emma." I needed to get some sort of rise from her as always. I was addicted to her. I was addicted to everything about her. Her face, her eyes, her damn lips. Even her scent was intoxicating. This girl would be the death of me and it would be worth it.

"Not like I had a choice Elijah. You four are disrupting my weekends now." God I loved how she said my name. Indecent images flooded my brain of her saying my name over and over but I shook the images out of my head. One day.

"The teacher is disrupting my weekends. Guess we are both in the same dilemma." I give her a smirk.

"Just remind your minions to show some respect or I walk." I couldn't help but admire the sass coming from her beautiful lips. Bet I could put those lips to better use.

"See you Saturday Sinclair!" I honestly was excited about it. I would wear this girl down and now I had more time to do it. Little did I know in that very moment my life would never be the same.
