Chapter 2
I quickly scurry away to the seat i'm guessing is next to this 'Isabella' and 'Mark'.
"Hey, I'm Isabella but you can call me Bella" Bella whispers shyly from beside me.
"Hey, I'm Allison but you can call me Ally" I smile politely." I'm sorry about before, its just that I thought you were gonna make fun of me" Bella replies blushing slightly and looking down.
"What!?" I ask, wondering why this quiet girl thought that I, the new girl, was gonna make fun of her on first site.
"The populars usually do" she replies still not looking at me in the eye. I thought you were in that group".
"Its ok" I say smiling "oh hey, can I sit with you at break?" she visibly brightens up.
"Sure, but i'm kinda a loner, people don't want to be seen with one of the smartest people at the school" she says rolling her eyes.
I laugh loudly causing most of the people in the class to look at me weirdly. "I'm kinda a 'smart girl' too," I say doing the 'bunny ears' in the air, she smiles widely.
"Anything you would like to say Miss Jones" sir says looking at Bella like he's about to stab her.
"No sir" Bella replies looking down embarrassed that the attention of the whole class was on her.
"Good" sir said calmly...a little too calmly. I would prefer to be shouted at than spoken to that calmly, it's like the type of calm an axe murderer would talk in before he chopped your head off in that old warehouse you stupidly thought you could take cover in.
It was now lunch, the other classes went by quickly, Bella is in most of my classes and we really get along.
I make my way through the masses of bodies, Bella at my side while we try and squish through all the restless teens trying to make their way to the cafeteria.
"Go get a seat in the cafeteria while I go put my books away" I smile.
"I can come, I don't mind" she says honestly, then her stomach growls, asking to be fed. I burst out laughing, "actually, go and get in the line" I giggle.
she throws me a grateful smile and walks towards the cafeteria.
I'm still laughing like a drunk hyena so Bella turns around and pokes her tongue out at me and turns back around. This just made me laugh more, maybe life here won't be so bad, maybe everything will get better from here.
I really hope it does.
I've finally put my books in my locker and admired my beautiful skateboard that was in there also, I make my way to what i'm pretty sure is the cafeteria when i'm pushed up against the lockers by two very strong arms, even this guys arms are attractive.
He cages me in between his arms and the lockers and looks in my eyes, this guy's clearly a player, but the way he looks at me I can tell why all these poor girls fall for him, but I am no longer one of those girls, I refuse to fall for the 'player' or the 'bad boy', because no matter what everyone believes, or what the movies and cliché books say, people don't change, they are who they are.
"Yes" I say, surprisingly strongly, I may sound strong but I don't feel it, this guys eyes are literally making me melt, add the fact that I'm an awkward teen who doesn't do well in situations like this and there you got Allison Reynolds, not confident at all.
I lean against the lockers and cross my arms, hoping to add to the illusion that he isn't phasing me, and I'm completely okay with situations like this.
"What do you say? You wanna go to that free classroom for a few minutes?" He winks.
Well at least he gets straight to the point?
"No thanks, I'm actually kind of hungry, but thanks for the offer, maybe next time" I say, obviously being a smart ass. He looks kinda shocked that I rejected him
Don't get told no much, hey buddy?
I take that opportunity to try and duck under his arms to get to the cafeteria but he quickly regains himself and tightens his hold, in the process coming closer to me.
I focus on looking like this sudden movement doesn't get any sort of reaction from me.
He scowls and looks at me with a new found confidence.
"You know, you look a lot like my next girlfriend" he smirks at me, waiting for my submission.
"And you look exactly like the guy I turn down 2 seconds from now" I smile in victory as his face is filled with shock, awe and....lust?
I try and make my escape by quickly ducking under his arms and walking away, just when I think I am free he grabs my arm and pushes me back against the lockers.
"What" I whine childishly, actually kinda annoyed that he's keeping me from lunch, I'm getting used to his inhumanly good looks now, he's not affecting me as much. I've dealt with good looks like that before, probably not as good but close enough. I just got to get over how hot he actually is and focus on his, not-so-attractive personality.
"Trust me, I know who you are and I also know that the good girl always falls for the bad boy" he says matter of factly.
It's kinda creepy how he thinks he knows who I am.
"Okay buddy" I laugh, almost completely unphased by him, obviously there's always gonna be a tiny bit of him that gets a reaction from me because he is hot, like hot hot. Probably the hottest guy I have ever seen.
This time he lowers his arm smirking, allowing me to finally go and get lunch.
He smirks even sexier than before, I didn't know that was possible, and shakes his head chuckling a bit as he watches me leave, his eyes not leaving me, even for a second.
Just as I think I've gotten freed he speaks once again; "I love a good chase Allison, and that is exactly what you are".
So he does know my name, not creepy at all...
Before I can ask how he knows my name he disappears down the other side of the corridor.
"Sorry Bella, I got lost " I lie swiftly, I've gotten pretty good at lying, I know it's not something to be proud of but I've had to lie quite a bit in my lifetime.
"It's ok" she mumbles while she chews on a cheesy part of her pizza.
I steal a few of her fries and nibble on them wondering who that hot guy is and why he was so shocked when I rejected him.
The cafeteria suddenly falls silent, I look at the entrance and see 5 very attractive guys walk in led by the devil himself.
He goes and sits down at the table in the middle of the room away from everybody but his 'group'. I was wondering why that table was empty when I walked in here.
"Who are they?" I ask Bella as I nod in there direction.
"That's the bad boys of the school, there's the twins, Damon and Jacob who are the funniest people you will ever meet, they're always playing pranks on the teachers and that" she says while she points to 2 blonde haired guys that look exactly alike.
"Then there's Aiden, he's like the other player of the group, he has slept with most of the school, but he is attractive" she says pointing to a dark haired boy sitting next to one of the twins.
"Then there's Chase and Dean, Chase is like the 'main' bad boy, he has slept with pretty much all the girls in the school, well apart from me, he is also the cliché bad boy, rides a motorbike and wears a leather jacket, I'm pretty sure he's been to jail like a lot, don't get involved with him though, he is as bad as he is hot, and he is very hot.
And that's his best friend Dean, Dean is like the nice guy of the group, he is really shy and quiet but really sweet, he is not a player at all, I don't think I have even ever seen him with a girl" she says dreamily.
So Chase is his name. She seems to like Dean. "So how long have you liked Dean?" I ask hoping for a reaction that tells me if she does like him or if she doesn't.
"I-I don't" she stutters, I give her a look and she gives in, "Freshman year, when he stood up for me to Chelsea and her gang, what gave it away?" She asks rolling her eyes"
Chelsea, that name brings back memories I would rather forget, countless sleepless nights and numerous arguments about stupid little things, she never used to be like that, but once again that changed when Sophie died. But it can't be her, she moved months ago, there are millions of schools in California, even if this is like the biggest.
I think for a moment and feel a sense of relief when I realise how low the chances are that the 'Chelsea' Bella is talking about is the same 'Chelsea' I'm thinking about.
"Nothing much, just the fact you won't stop staring at him with big eyes or the fact that you sigh at the mention of his name and talk or dreamy and love sick at him" I smirk happily while she glares at me playfully.
But seriously, Chase is bad news and I really do plan on staying away from him.
