Faye's POV
Mr Samuelson, my English teacher, continued talking about whatever he was talking about in the first place, his words were too far for me to hear, yet I kept jotting down important details on my notebook. My mind was blank and my eyes were glued to Mr Samuelson's mahogany table right in the front of the classroom.
Then, just before he was about to add something else, the bell rang indicating that our fourth period just ended. Now, it's lunch time. I leaned back on my chair for a moment and watched the rest of the students filed out of the classroom and then I closed my notebook and placed all my pens and other small items inside my pencil case before putting both inside my bag.
The minute I looked up, I saw Jonathan walking out of the classroom in front of me and swinging his black school bag over one shoulder. Sometimes, I can't control myself when I'm looking right at him. I can't force myself to look away but then, he sometimes caught me staring at him but he didn't say anything or even do anything except smirk back at me.
But this time, he looked up and we locked eyes and then he winked at me.
He
actuallywinkedatme!He walked out of the classroom with the rest of the remaining students, while I'm the only one still in an empty room with my breath hitching in my throat.
What
wasthatallabout?Was that a random wink? Or is there a special meaning to that wink?
I quickly walked out of the classroom and joined the crowd of students that were rushing through the hallways. But making my way through the crowd, has never been a problem for me. People just backed to the side or let me walk through because they know who I am and the type of family background I have as well.
I walked in to the already crowded cafeteria and spot our table that is right in the middle of the room, occupied by none other then Kaycee. And from across our table, just a few feet away, is my brother and his squad's table which is mostly occupied by him, Toby and Mike. But today I was surprised to find that the guy that was new here in school just a few months ago, that is from England, was also sitting with them.
Andy Fitzroy.
Tall, blond, brown eyed, very handsome and has that small tinge of an England accent in his tone that probably drives girls crazy when they hear him talk.
I walked over to our table with my lunch tray in hand, and sat down in front of Kaycee while placing my bag on the empty chair next to me and my tray of food right in front of me.
Kaycee glanced at me with a smile and then looked back to her phone. I unscrew the cap of the bottle of lime juice in front of me and took a sip.
"What are you looking at?" She glanced at me again and then shook her head.
"Stalking your future husband's i*******m account." I rolled my eyes, when I realized that she was referring to Jonathan.
"Didn't we do that last week? I'm sure you won't find anything new or interesting." She chuckled.
"That's where you're wrong my friend. He just posted a recent pic on his story, of him taking a bathroom mirror selfie, with all his delicious abs on display and a white towel hanging dangerously below his waist, and guess what he wrote as his caption?"
I raised a questioning brow before shrugging.
"On the hunt!" She exclaimed causing me to frown in confusion.
"Meaning?" She scoffed in disbelief.
"Meaning, he's hunting for his next new target, and we both know that you're also on the list Faye." It was my turn to scoff in disbelief before biting into my sandwich.
"Can we not go over this again? I have better things to-" I stopped talking immediately when I noticed that she was not looking at me anymore but probably at someone or something behind me, with her mouth slightly opened.
I frowned before turning around in my seat and then looked behind me to see what's going on as well. But the person standing behind me was the last person I was expecting to see again so soon. So i froze while staring up at him.
"Hey Faye." His deep masculine voice said, and the way my name rolled off his tongue so gently, makes my heart skipped a terrifying beat.
"Um, hi." He kept smiling at me, and then I quickly glanced around and saw everyone staring at us by now. I looked back at him and then slowly stood up to face him.
"What's up?" He reached out and held my hand, catching me off guard.
"Faye, before I ask you this, I just wanna let you know that you're one of the most beautiful girls I know. You're smart and beautiful, you help others even when they do not ask for it, you're also one of the most caring person I know. We may not know each other very well, but I wanna change that between us, which is why I'm gonna ask you this. It's sudden, I know, but I just wanna grab this chance before any other guy does."
My heart started beating so fast because of the way he just said all those things loud enough for everyone to hear and also why people are watching and taking videos of everything like their lives depended on it.
"Faye, will you go out with me?"
I froze. My breathing stopped and my heart nearly hammered itself out of my chest.
Is
thisreallyhappeningrightnow? AmIhearingitallright? Ohmygod!"Faye?" He asked me again, managing to snap me out of my thoughts.
"Yes?" I nearly slapped myself for making it sound like a question more then an answer. And also because, why didn't I just say that I'll think about it first? Instead, i said yes right away.
God, what
ishappeningrightnow?!"Great." He stepped a little closer towards me, our noses almost touching, and then he pulled my phone out of my jeans back pocket and started typing something on it.
A few seconds later, he handed my phone back to me and smiled with a hint of mischievousness in his expression.
"That's my number. Text me when you're ready and I'll pick you up. Oh and, wear something sexy yet formal for a dinner date."
I clutched my phone tightly to my chest and watched him stride away back to his own table where his friends were cheering him on as if he just completed one of their stupid dares. And I really really hope to god, that whatever just happened was not it.
Everyone resumed what they were doing right after recording and hearing everything, and i sat down on my seat again and turned around to face Kaycee.
"Please tell me I'm not dreaming?" She smiled and then pinched my arm, and i refrained from yelping in pain.
"You're not. So, you happy now?" I forced out a chuckle.
"How am I suppose to feel happy right now when I'm still trying to recover from shock after going through one of the moments with Jonathan, that I've always fantasize about?"
"Well, you got your wish come true and I'm telling you, all the other girls reactions when Jonathan asked you out, they were seriously thinking of murdering you right now. So how does it feel to be asked out on a dinner date with none other then one of our famous bad boys, Jonathan Ryder?"
I sighed dreamily and leaned my chin on my palm.
"It still feels like I'm dreaming, but right now, all I can think of doing is screaming and jumping like crazy." She laughed at me.
"Chill Faye. It's just a dinner date." I slowly nodded.
"Yeah I know that. It will just be a normal dinner, that's all." She looked away and continued going through her phone, while i quickly reached out and grabbed the bottle of lime juice again and gulping down a few drops.
But
Isecretlywish, thatwe'llbemorethen that afterthisdate.Faye'sPOV"Hot pink? Or aqua blue?" I held up both the two dresses I just mentioned their color and showed them to Kaycee who was lying lazily on my bed, typing on her phone while popping her gum at the same time.She stared at the dresses with narrowed eyes before lifting them up to stare at me instead."Wow, you really know your colors more then fashion." I frowned and watched her swing her long legs over the bed and strolled towards me and grabbed the dresses from my hands and tossed them back inside the closet."I'm about to go crazy. Jonathan is gonna be here in an hour cos he said that when I texted him a while ago, and I'm still looking for a dress to wear."
Faye'sPOVI have never felt this much happiness before in my entire life. My excitement never runs out and every little thing that I do, makes me think about him and just smile to myself. I was on cloud 9. Even my own family started to notice my happy change of mood, and they started to wonder why so they decided to ask Jake about it, which was the last thing I want for them to do, but luckily, Jake never said a word because he knew absolutely nothing about what's been making me happy nowadays.He never stopped texting and kept face timing whenever he got the chance, which makes me even more happy and excited just to hear his voice and see his handsome face on the screen of my phone.The next day for school, I quickly got dressed and then drove t
Faye'sPOV"Which one do you think is better? The blue one or the red one?"Mom asked while I continued texting Jonathan on my phone with a smile on my face. We were in mom's walk-in closet, and I was helping her choose a dress to wear at a boards meeting in Paris that she's gonna go to in a few hours. Honestly, I didn't even hear what she was saying not till she start flicking her fingers right to my face, when I finally looked up from my phone."Hello! Earth to Faye. Are you gonna help me or not?" I quickly nod my head."Of course I'm helping mom." She narrowed her eyes at me."Yeah sure, you're definitely helping by staring a
Faye'sPOVSaturday afternoon at around six something o'clock, I was rushing about in my room trying to get ready. Knowing that Jonathan will be picking me up at seven, being patience is probably something he doesn't even know. So I tried my best to get ready as fast as I can so I can be on time and won't make him wait for me. I rushed into my closet and picked out a dark blue cropped hoodie with a white Adidas logo printed on the front and then quickly slipped on a pair of black jeans to go with it. I put on my sneakers before brushing my hair and putting the top half as a bun on the top of my head and letting the lower half to flow down my back, freely.I applied a thin wing of eyeliner on my eyes and then put on some red cherry lipstick and after all that, I slipped on a pair of
Jonathan'sPOVI took a long drag of my cigarette and let out a big puff of smoke while I watched the street race unfold before me. One arm draped around the skinny brunette standing by my side while the one holding on to my cigarette between my thumb and index finger as our eyes trained on the racing cars rushing before us in full speed. My mind was completely focused on the race without any thought of Faye lingering in my head. It's not like I think of her anyway but something about that girl bugs me the wrong way.I think it has something to do with the way she presents herself to others. Acting so innocent with all smiles and happiness, definitely displaying the princess act as who she really is. But when I'm around her, I get the feeling that she's holding back onto something.
Faye'sPOV"Hi Faye!""Hey Faye. Looking great today.""Good morning Faye."I waved, I nod, I smiled at people as I walked down the hallway with a smile on my face as I said 'hi' back to people that were greeting me. It's always been like this everyday. Random people would come up to me and say hello or just called out a greeting whenever I walked by. With a good reputation like mine here in school, these things are not hard to get for the rest of my life. The respect and kindness from others.I reached my locker and punched in my code and started pulling out books and folders that I need for my first class on first period, calc
Faye'sPOVI skipped dinner, not because of the reason that I'm not feeling hungry it's because I feel like throwing up if I eat something and every time I think about food. I was lying on my stomach on my bed, with one of my arm lying above my head and one lying stiffly by my side. I couldn't stop the tears that trail freely down my face, but I made no attempt to wipe them away. My phone kept vibrating endlessly on top of the nightstand near my bed and I'm pretty sure it's only Kaycee whose calling.TheonlypersonthatcaresaboutmeandthestateI'
Faye'sPOVFriday came faster then I had anticipated, but I still made no decision to go back to school after what happened. It's not because of the reason that I'm scared or anything, no, I feel like not going to school because I'm not ready to go back there as the old Faye. The one who will always choose to see past the damage and accept everything that has been happening around me as if it doesn't feel wrong at all. When I decide to step foot back on Pendleton high grounds, it's not going to be the old Faye anymore. It's going to be the real Faye, the one whose been holding back all this time, being trapped under the fake good girl facade for years.Not anymore. I'mma be real this time and show them who I really am.Around ten
