Chapter 10
The ride was filled with awkward a silence and Xavier's word keep playing in my head
"Look! I just want you to know that I have nothing to do with everything that is happening and I'm also trying to convince those dudes but they're hell bent on continuing the dare even though Zach himself wants to end it" did Zach really want to end it? Perhaps he was tired of walking with a Shrek.
"I'll stop here" I said to Xavier as I came down from his car and thanked it, I wasn't at my destination yet but the atmosphere in the car was getting stuffy and suffocating.
I would pick Joe up and go to my house, I don't want to be a burden to the Anderson's. I arrived at their house and Maya wasn't there yet I assumed she must have went out with Frank.
I greeted Grace but couldn't find her husband, perhaps he had work to do.
"I'll be taking Joe with me today" I said and she nodded her head with a smile, I knew how much she loved and want him around but I need some tim

"you're sleeping over today" He said as he parked his car in front of his huge house. I didn't contemplate or complain because I just wanted the dare to be over already. I have one week more to play along. "Can I at least call Maya with your phone?" "No!" "But I have to make the call, it's urgent besides you fucking smashed my phone the previous day!" I yelled. He rubbed his temples with his eyes closed before getting down from his car without saying anything to me. "Uhm, hello..??" I called for his attention. He turned to look at me with his hands tucked in his pocket. He sucked on his teeth and tilted his head to a side before focusing his face on me. "If you want me to lend you my phone then you'll have to earn it!" He boldly said. This guy here is totally unbelievable, after smashing my phone and making me lose my perfect job he's here telling me to work to earn just a call? "You realized you broke my

ZACH'S POVI kept thinking of how she came to bargain throughout the drive. To be honest I pitied her the instance I saw the look on her face after her posters were pasted all over the school by that bitch. Can't Aurora just let go and let us go our separate ways.We arrived at my house and I was grateful. I loved being alone with my peace and quiet since I'm used to it already."You're sleeping over today" I said and she didn't look surprised. Aurora wanted her to sleep over which I clearly don't know the reason for. She's a jealous bitch and even though we were not dating she would still want to be all over me.I could dismiss her by eight just like I did the other day but a part of me wants to keep her around for some while. Perhaps it's because of her meekness and naiveness."Can I at least call Maya with your phone?" She asked. I wanted to say yes and give it to her but I do

ISABELLA'S POV The rain fell really heavy as thunder clapped throughout the classroom making the whole kids to scream in fear. Even though some were not actually scared but just wanted to have fun. The teacher had left the classroom earlier for the staff room because of the constant screams from the students. I laid my head on my desk as I couldn't bare to watch them perform their minutes of madness. Some class couples proceeded to smooch and romance themselves and sounds of kisses filled the air. "Bitch!" Maya's voice rang in my ear really loud. "Shit! I'm still going to need these ears for seventy more years" I cussed but the fuming Maya wasn't buying any thing as she rested her hands above her hips in a dramatic way. "Where were you yesterday?" She asked while tapping her feet on the floor. "I..uhm I had things to do" I lied, technically it was a white lie. "Come on, I'm your friend and you're keeping things from me"

"wear something good" his words still echoed in my head but what do I have that fits with the word "good". "I'll guess, you don't have something good enough to wear" he said while his hands were relaxed on the steering wheel. He was sounding rude but I didn't see a hint of rudeness or sarcasm on his face, perhaps this was his preferred way of talking. "Sorta" I replied. He kept quiet and I felt uncomfortable, I whined down the window of the car for fresh air since the atmosphere of the car was getting heated and suffocating. The cool breeze from the rain filled the car and I could tell that he was also enjoying it. "Thank you for the phone" I said realizing I haven't really gotten to thank him, even though he was the one who damaged it at first. He turned to face me but diverted his attention back to the road with a smile on his face. Was he getting to warm up to me? He stopped the car by the roadside and gestured at me t

ZACH'S POV I checked my phone and it was getting too late already, the saying about women taking too long to dress up was actually true. I walked towards her room door and opened it to unleash my rage at her. "Shit!" She cussed out of fear"you startled me and hold on what if I was naked?" She asked and I cocked my brow at her. "It's my house" I said and immediately noticed her, I had entered the room but wasn't paying to the way she looked. I lost my breath and words, I had come here to torment her but I couldn't bring myself to say any word at the sight of her. She was the perfect definition of beauty, more beautiful than I have ever seen her. The emerald green dress fit her perfectly as they hung perfectly on every right curves. Her hair wasn't packed in a messy ponytail but rather her curls were left to fall on her back, her perfectly smooth back. Her lips were shining under the fluorescent lightbulb teasing me to touch it.

I woke up with a slight ache in my head then all what happened from last night began to resurface in my mind. I remembered how the blonde haired guy almost had his way with me then Zach had helped to save me from him. I smiled at the thought of him helping me before the realization of us being in the pool and me almost kissing him struck my head. That wouldn't have been the most embarrassing part but also the fact that he didn't kiss me back but instead he stood up and left. I buried my face in my palm wishing the ground could just open up and swallow me when I suddenly heard a knock on the door. "Get ready Bella, were leaving soon" he said from behind the door, I didn't know what so say back so I kept quiet and entered the bathroom hoping the water would rid me of those memories but it didn't. The memories only became stronger under the shower as I remembered the pool too. I rushed my bath and came out of the shower with a towel around my waist. I wo

The school finally came to an end and i rushed to find Zach, he was standing by his locker and I was grateful I didn't have to look for him all around the school premises. "Hey!" I said to him once I got closer. "You can wait for me by the car, I'll be back shortly" he said and turned his back to leave. "I have something to tell you!" I yelled and he stood still waiting for me to say what I had to tell him. "It's about my brother, Joe, I really want to see him today and I'm hoping you could give me the night off" I asked hoping to get a positive response. "Yeah sure, see you tomorrow then" he said and turned to leave. I screamed a "thank you", at him and happily phoned Maya. "I'm following you home today but might stay at my dad house, I miss Joe too so don't leave behind!" I said immediately she picked up the phone. "Okay babe, I have just left the school though but I'll take a turn now" she said and hung up. I wen

We stopped Joe in his school and Maya continued the drive but after we were a little bit far from Joe's school she parked her car by the roadside. "Did your Dad say anything to you?" She asked but I shook my head, even though tears were now falling I didn't think I wanted to talk about what had happened. *No, he didn't" I said but my voice cracked in between, I hated that house and everything there. It only made me cry and sad whenever my father was around. She knew I wasn't going to say what was wrong with me so she handed over the wipes that was in her car to me. "Thank you" I mouthed to her and cleaned the tears off my face. She continued the drive in silence and I appreciated her for understanding me. We arrived at school and the realization of me facing Zach struck me, I wanted to be alone but now I have to be stuck with him. At least it'll end soon and I'll finally be free in the next two days. I came down from the car and made m
