The Bad Boy's First Love

Chapter 2: High School

Claire

I woke up. It was a new day and probably everything would be new today. I was finally going to High school. I wasn’t excited, but apparently, someone else is.

“I am so excited for you, Claire. How is that possible?” Joe yelled in a happy tone and I sighed. He has been eating my brain like a small child for the last twenty minutes for the same topic.

“Well, you have gone insane” I smiled and said.

“Nah, that ain’t true. But surely, I wanna make sure that you don’t get in any trouble, Ms. Introvert, so I want you to promise me something”

“Ah, now what is it?” I sighed heavily. His promises never end.

“Promise me that you would tell me if someone irritates you”

“I will, happy?”

“Yes”

I laughed. He is cute though.

I went downstairs and made the food, because he didn’t know how to cook. I wouldn’t have known either, but being an introvert, sometimes you learn these things to get yourself busy with just you and your soul.

I kept the food on the table in the living room. 

“Is it edible?” He raised an eyebrow.

I sighed and started eating my share. He ate it too.

“I will drop you, okay?”

I nodded. 

After eating, I took my school bag. Then he took out his car and we drove towards my school.

This was a little more sad year for me, because new students were gonna come in. Otherwise at least I would have been with people I already know! Now I would meet new people which is literally the worst thing for me.

“Try to make friends” he said to me and I nodded, as I always do. I have no friends, to be honest. Every time, he tells me the same thing, but what can I do, when I don’t like anyone?

I went inside and to my class straight away. I didn’t look at anyone or noticed anyone in the corridor. I could still see a few new faces.

It is not like I am completely dumb and I don’t know what is going on, or who is who, but I like to keep quiet and not interact. I see everything, I notice everything, but I like to keep it low.

I went inside my class and sat on the last seat as every other seat was already taken. There were only a few seats left. One was the first one, and the other three were at the back. I really don’t wanna sit on the first one and grab all the attention!

I sat down and kept my stuff aside and waited for the teacher.

Someone entered the room and came to me. He was a guy. 

“Hey, Ms. What’s your name?”

“Claire, why?” I asked him. He smirked.

He took my bag and kept it on the table and sat beside me. I got up but he took my bag and kept it with him. “If you want your bag, sit here without any fuss”

I thought for a moment. I have never fought with anyone, so I gave in and sat there. He smirked. “Look, Claire. You should be happy. You are the chosen one”

“Chosen one?” I asked him. He chuckled lightly. 

“Look, every year, I choose a girl I like, and well, you are the one”

“What?”

“Okay, dumbo, the thing is, you are the next girl who is gonna be famous”

“What the hell are you talking about?” His words made no sense. I knew where he was getting. Popularity… and girls… I think something like bully or playboy. But why me? 

“Don’t act so dumb, and secodnly, don’t you dare get your seats changed” he smirked and got up. “I am gonna sit here and that’s final”

He kept his bag on the seat. My bag was still with him.

“At least give me my bag now!” I asked him.

“Nah” 

I got up but he went out of the class while I just stood there, dumb. I don’t know how to do this. Why the hell did he choose me?

I could see that everyone was looking at us. Okay, yeah, I accept he was handsome and all, but really? He took my bag like that and also blackmailed me!

Don’t tell me I am gonna get bullied.

I sighed and sat down. This is all for today at most. He is gonna choose another girl to play with. I know. Playboys are like this. They change girls every day. I know he will get bored of blackmailing me and soon leave me. 

And afterall, I am so boring anyway. I rarely speak anything other than with my brother.

Well, anyways, I can really feel what he told me. I literally think I became famous right now. Everyone in class is looking at me and this is so bad.

Oh God.
