Living With The Bad Boy

The days went by quickly. Days turned to Nights and Nights turned to Days. The circle kept repeating.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Alex and i hadn’t spoken much this past week, except for occasional rude comments, sarcastic laughter, death glares, arguments and fights.

Alex had been hanging around lately…. too much if I’m being certain. He hung around me most of the times, looking for the best ways to piss me off.

He had stopped his constant trooping in with girls and should i say, the atmosphere has been less…… annoying?

I got out of my almost one hour shower. For some reason the water felt cooler today than any other day and i felt really relaxed.

I went into my walk-in closet to change into a plain blue t-shirt and black tights.

I packed my hair in a neat ponytail and wore a little bit of my vanilla perfume. I grabbed my bag and left the room towards the living room.

I dropped my bag on the couch and scampered into the kitchen to make a quick sandwich. I made an extra piece for some reason i counter even bargain.

Or should i say i actually made it for Alex?

Alex came walking into the kitchen few minutes later as i was holding my half eaten slice of sandwich, leaning against the counter.

“Hey”I was the first to greet him but he didn’t even seem to notice me.

Or maybe he was ignoring me on purpose because of our fight at Zoey’s birthday party last night?

“Hey?”It came out more as a question.

He still choose to ignore me and walked over to the gas, totally ignoring the sandwich i had dished out for him.

“I made sandwich”I said but he didn’t even flinch in the slightest bit as he went over to the cupboard and pulled out a tin of milk and tea with sugar.

He walked to the fridge and took out sliced bread which he placed on the counter beside me.

I watched him turn on the boiler and then made tea for himself. I felt angry and disgusted by his attitude that i walked over to where he stood to question him.

“What’s with the damn attitude?”It came out more harsher than i had expected.

“What?”He finally responded and talked for the first time since he got into the kitchen.

“Firstly i greeted you and you ignored, i told you i had made extra sandwich for you but you didn’t even show any remark and went ahead to make tea for yourself”I yelled.

“What are you? my mum? i get to decide what i eat and that has nothing to do with you, did you ask me before making extra piece of sandwich for me? no you didn’t, because everything always has to go according to Olivia Henderson’s taste and only her opinion matters in every single damn situation”He yelled back.

Why do i have a feeling that he wasn’t just talking about this morning but about the event last night?

“Well then, suit yourself, I’m running late for class already and i don’t have the time for your ridiculous self”I gave him a suiting comeback and washed off my plate of sandwich. I threw the untouched piece which i had made for him, right into the trashcan and left the kitchen angrily.

I know it’s bad to waste food but i won’t have an arrogant dickhead with an attitude eating food made by me.

It’s not as if he had plans of eating either but i got a little bit of satisfaction from my actions.

I grabbed my backpack from the couch and left the house making sure i slammed the door as hard as possible to get attention.

I walked over to my parking lot where my car was parked beside Alex’s and something in me made me walk over to Alex’s car and hit it hard with my leg in attempt to make his car feel pain, the amount of pain i wanted to inflict on it’s owner.

My actions backfired because i was the one who felt pain. It hurt like a bitch and i used my backpack to hit the car angrily, hitting it once more with my leg.

Ouch!

I staggered back to my car and pulled the door open. I got into the driver’s seat and tossed my backpack on the passengers seat.

I turned on the engine and the vehicle sprang to life immediately. I buckled on my seatbelt.

As much as i was mad at Alex and probably more angry at myself. I was a very careful driver unlike Alex whom i doubt went to any driving school.

Seriously the guy drives like a lunatic.

Why am i even thinking about Alex.

Ugh!

I groaned and steered the vehicle out of my driveway, heading school wards.

I arrived at school at exactly 7:55am. I was fashionably late but i couldn’t care less.

I walked over to my locker and pulled out my biology notebook with my pen. After locking the locker, i immediately headed down to my classroom where Mr Smith was already lecturing.

“Ms Henderson, may i know why you’re late to class?”He asked and just as i was about to respond, i heard a voice from across the class.

“She was probably making out somewhere with some dude”Alex said.

Alex?

I tilted my head to see Alex sitting across the room with his friends.

How in the name of whoobidy doop did he get to school before me?

“That’s enough Mr Williams” Mr smith then turned to me “You can have your seat Ms Henderson but make sure you don’t show up late to my class again and also endeavor to copy the notes from your peers”He said and i gave him a slight nod and went to my seat where Jane had occupied.

“Hey J”I greeted, earning a smile from her.

“Hey Babe”She said.

“Why isn’t Zoey here yet?”I asked.

“Oh, you know…… after last night’s party she didn’t to take the day off”I said and my eyes immediately darted across the room for jo reason, in search of Blake. Blake was no where to be seen and for some reasons only known to me, i felt he had a hand in Zoey’s disappearance.

After class, we went to the cafeteria to have lunch. We talked over our meal.

Well, Jane did most of the talking because my eyes were fixed on Alex who was sitting few seats away from me with a blonde straddling his lap.

I was still contemplating on how he arrived at school before me. If i remembered clearly he was still in his night clothes when i left him at home so how the hell did he get to school before me?

“Hey guys, mind if i join you?”It was Justin’s voice. I turned to see Justin standing in front of us smiling and i didn’t ignore the fact that Jane was blushing at him in the sluttiest way.

What’s it with my friends and these playboys?

Before i can even respond to him, Jane is fast to reply.

“Here”She tapped on the seat next to her.

“Okay?”He responded. He had a weird expression on his face as he sat down beside Jane.

“Why aren’t you with your set?”I asked.

“Alex is busy with…. you know? and Blake is at Zoey’s”He said.

I knew i was right!

“Oh”Was my only reply as i turned back to face my past forgotten food.

The rest of the lunch break was spent with Jane talking and Justin laughing at her lame unfunny jokes which to my amusement, he found funny. I sat there with them just nodding in reply to whatever they were talking and laughing about because the whole time, my eyes was fixed on a certain boy who was sitting a few tables away from ours, making out with some blonde.

I don’t know why but i felt like puking at the sight before me but luckily my attention drifted away from them with the vibration of my phone in my back pocket.

I pulled it out to see Zoey’s caller Id on the screen and immediately picked up the call.

“Hey girl!”Came her cheerful voice which instantly turned to a…… moan?

“Hey…… Zoe”I sounded unsure.

“Sorry i didn’t inform you that i wasn’t coming to school, i had some work at my aunt’s place so I’m busy with helping my aunt make preparations for a party”She said.

Of course.

Party at her aunt’s place.

A knowing smile crept up my cheeks

“Oh…. i see, that’s great”I stifled a laugh.

“Yeah, we’ve been…… oh…… so…… busy…… i…… couldn’t…… call…… to inform you since”She moaned making my smile grow wider.

“Oh, that’s nice, i see your aunt is keeping you really…… busy”I smirked even though she couldn’t see me.

“Yeah…… she is”She moaned louder this time.

“Okay then, have fun at your aunt’s place…. oh Blake and Alex arr coming”I decided to tease her a little.

“Blake? but Blake’s here with me”She said with uncertainty in her voice and i broke out in a laughter.

“Oh……”I smirked mischievously.

“You bitch! you played the damn cards on me!”She exclaimed and i could hear Blake’s chuckle from the background.

“Tell Blake i said hi, make sure you use protection, I’m not planning on being an aunt yet”I teased.

“I hate you!”She said but it came out in a playful tone.

“I love you too sweetheart”I said amd ended the call fast enough not waiting for her response.

I slid my phone back into my pocket and finally put my attention back to Jane and Justin who were busy giggling and discussing things i had no idea about.

I thought she liked Cade?

Well, that’s none of my business, whatever makes her happy.
