I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to forget what just happened, the way Romeo Sparks saved and how I acted like a typical dummy.
I did the only thing left for me to do. I ran outside to look for joey.The minute I got outside, I spotted Joey among the crowd dancing heartily with Jake. It seemed like everything went well. I gripped her and pulled her outside, not minding the stares we were receiving from some people.****Things moved very fast, Saturday gone, Sunday gone and here was Monday. For the first time in my life, I was thinking of skipping school to avoid seeking Romeo.Oh Romeo!Even the thought of his name made my heart race.What would I tell him? Should I thank him? Many thoughts ran through my mind as I got dressed. He probably would not recognize me. I didn't think I had any class with him, all I had to do was avoid getting in his way.It was in English class that I finally realized my prayer didn't get answered anyway. You know that feeling you get when you are feeling someone was boring holes into your back with their stares and you had no idea who they are. Well, that was exactly how I was feeling right now. I only thought of someone.Romeo Sparks!I was too scared to turn around to confirm my suspicion. What if he was really here?"C'mon he can't be here, you've never seen him attend this class." My inner mind chimed in.I lifted my shoulder in a half shrug, getting the thought out of my mind.I continued staring at Mr Banks as he went on talking, without picking out anything from what he was babbling. A girl sneezed causing the whole class to look in her direction. I quickly whipped my head around to confirm my theory. When I finally saw those eyes that were piercing through my back, I wasn't surprised who they belonged to.Romeo Sparks.His bright emerald eyes pierced into mine as if he could see through me. His gaze held a mixture of frustration, confusion and anger. I couldn't decipher which it was really.I freaked out and turned to the front instantly. What was he doing here?I had never seen him in class. It later dawned on me that he had been skipping class. I tried not to think that he was here today because of me.When I tried to stare back to see if Romeo was still looking at me, I was met with Mr Banks' old ugly eyes instead. He looked keenly between Romeo and I demanding for some explanation but neither of us talked."Quit staring at each other you horny teenagers and focus in class otherwise you'll both get detention," Mr Bank's waggy voice vibrated through the class room.Heat flushed in my cheeks as students turned to look between Romeo and I, surprised by what just happened.Why the hell would the hottest guy in school spare a nerd like me a glance?Did I just call Romeo the hottest guy?I rolled my eyes. "He isn't really that hot." I muttered under my breath, lying to myself.I tried my best to shut him out of my mind and pretend like he's not in the same classroom as I was. I could not afford to break my perfect record of zero detentions. But, with him sitting two seats away from mine, it was hard to ignore the little jargons he was saying mostly about me."Black sucks on you!" He said slowly but I heard him.I was putting on a black oversized t-shirt and boyfriend jeans. I stared back and shot him a death glare."Keep your eyes off me cunt!" He spat."I don't want any mischief today and since you two can't handle yourselves, you can kindly walk yourself to detention." Mr Bank's voice resounded in my head."I was - " I tried to explain."No!" He interrupted me."Mr Banks, he - " I tried again."I said no!"A line appeared between my brows."I can - ""Now, get out both of you or one more word I'll extend your detention," He raised his voice, already infuriated."Yelling is not for old pricks like you, Mr Banks,"Romeo had to open his mouth to just add more problems and the whole class erupted in laughter."Lunchtime and after school detention tomorrow also, both of you." Mr Banks rambled, clearly embarrassed by what that jerk said."But sir, I - "I tried to explain that I was not part of this, Romeo caused this alone and should get punished alone."Lunchtime and after school, detention for the whole week both of you," Mr Banks interrupted me once again.He was clearly having a bad day and I was the one he decided to take it out on. I realized soon, he would only worsen it the more I talked.Nonchalantly, Romeo picked up his book and started heading for the door. I let out a couple of groans before walking behind him.The detention room was empty apart from the teacher who took our names down. As soon as we were done with that, I took the farthest seat I could find away from Romeo. I actually plan on ignoring him for the rest of the detention.I took out my phone to tell Joey about my detention and tell her to eat lunch alone but as she replied, my phone was seized. I couldn't even get to read her response.I groaned, trying really hard not to cry. This would be the first time I would ever be in detention. Is this what it felt like to get into trouble? Romeo sat down peacefully, obviously he has gotten used to it."I'm going out for lunch, you better not talk other than sit there," The teacher in charge of detention said.As soon as she walked out, the silence became more awkward and the room suddenly became uncomfortable.Sitting down here with the school badass was what I wouldn't give a thought. This was all his fault, if he hadn't opened that damned mouth of his to talk trash about me, probably none of this would not have happened."This is all your fault!"I couldn't help but tell him. Everything was all his fucking fault.He didn't respond."Can you hear me at all?" I demanded, getting pissed off.Still no word from him."Hey!"I yelled again."I'm talking to you!"I exclaimed angrily.With this, he looked up."I heard you the first time, I just don't give a damn," He stated, staring intensely into my eyes.He continued."If you will excuse me, I am trying to observe the detention rules."He glanced at me for the last time, then went back to picking his nails.What the heck? I know he was a rude jerk but not to this extent. He was trying to observe a rule when he actually broke one and got both of us in trouble.I was too tired to argue with him any further so I just went back to my seat.The rest of the day was just as bad, by the time we came back after school for another one hour detention, I did my best and stayed away from Romeo because that's the only thing I could do.The week went by peacefully. Well at least not peacefully enough, I had to spend my lunch time and after school in a god-damned deserted room with Romeo Sparks. Not to think of the awkward silence we both had been sharing since the starting of the detention."Jerk!" I muttered, staring at him across the room."I heard that!" He hissed, not raising his head from his locker.I scoffed. He even had the audacity to talk back after all what he had put us through."Well, it was for you to hear." I retorted angrily."Bimbo," He mumbled, raising his head to look at me. "Little wonder you got ogled by the wrong guy."My eyes narrowed. What is he trying to pull here?Almost immediately images of last Friday flushed in. The drunk guy in the bathroom and how Romeo Saved me. Somehow I wanted to thank him but he did not deserve any, he was a jerk who does nothing other than bring trouble to people's lives.When I finally got out of the detention room, the usually crowded hallways were now deserted and so was the parking lot. Joey, who has always been my ride, had gone home since I was in detention this week. I began to find my way towards the exit of the school, dreading my walk home.Shortly, a black car pulled up beside me, then the glass was wined down. When the driver came into view, I wasn't surprised who it was.Romeo Sparks.I fizzled, then started walking."What are you doing?" He demanded, raising his voice so I could hear him."What does it seem like I'm doing?" I retorted without reducing my walking pace. Why was he even speaking to me?Romeo started driving at the same place I was walking."Get in the car!" He commanded."No!" I replied immediately.He had no power over me and couldn't tell me what to do."Stop being stubborn and get in the car while I am still nice." He scoffed.Was he serious? I'd bet nothing good had ever come out of those mouths."I said no!" I simply stated."Suit yourself." He yelled back before driving past me.What was that?I had barely walked out of the school premises when I saw his car packed a few feet away from me. When I looked up, I saw him leaning against his car.What the fuck did he want from me? Was he blind to see that I was trying to avoid trouble?I ignored him like he wasn't standing there and walked past him."Just get in the car already and stop being stubborn." He called after me."No! I'm not going with you."I insisted.I didn't even know why I was talking to him. I didn't hear his reply, so he gave up already. What a jerk he was! Why was I suddenly complaining about him giving up?"Just get into the damn car!" He yelled, behind me.Before I knew it, I was scooped into a pair of strong hands in a bridal style then carried towards the car.Was he seriously kidding me?"Let me down!" I cried out, stomping my feet in the air and struggling to wriggle out of his hands.He tightened his grip on me, with a silly smirk plastered on his face. He opened the passenger door, then dropped me on the seat. He brought his face closer to mine, I was uncomfortable with the sudden closeness between us."Don't think of this as a favor, dummy. I - "He paused, gazing at me to check my reaction."I don't like getting a ' no ', and I only wanted to help you because it's bad for you to walk here, and now you're walking back." He concluded, then winked at me before rising up to shut the door.What was that all about?How did he know I walked to school? Joey only takes me back home everyday."I don't like getting a no.""Whatever" I let out a loud hiss.The whole car ride was in complete silence. I glanced over at Romeo, he was chewing his jaws so hard. His hands in the steering were so tight that his knuckles were white. Why is he always angry?A couple of minutes later, we pulled up in front of my house.How did he know I live here? I looked over to him to ask but was interrupted.His brows drew together."Stop staring at me and get out!" He practically raised his voice.What the hell? I haven't done anything so why leach his anger out on me? "Don't raise your voice at me" I retorted, becoming angry at myself.I got out of his car without saying a thank you. He doesn't deserve one anyway.Since it was Friday night, I was in bed doing the usual. I was browsing the latest movies on Netflix when Joey rang me."Hey Ivy, I wanted to text but I knew you'll be awake so I figured I could call instead."Joey's voice sounds rushed.Like how you'll talk when trying to wear a really tight shoe.Either way I've missed her voice. I was ripped aw
A line appeared between my brows. I glanced around the room and they all looked hopeless. No one could help me.I swallowed a gulp down my throat."I'm not letting anyone kiss me and I don't care what the penalty is."I blurted out. I stood up immediately. I knew it was a wrong idea coming to this lame party in the first place. Nothing good ever comes out of it. I just lost my kiss to the school's baddest guy. It's now obvious that I'm a dummy. Why was I thinking? I kissed Romeo in front of everyone, like someone who has been craving for a kiss.I wobbled through the crowd as I managed to find the front door. I tried hard not to cry.I don't know how long I've been standing there, until a figure showed up behind me."I'm sorry about what happened earlier."I heard a voice behind me. I freaked out and spun around."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."Jake apologized and I gave him an assuring smile. "Where is Joey?"I asked him. "She has passed out. I've put her in one of the bedroo
"Romeo, what the hell are you doing? He's only being nice."I yelled then pulled Xander away from his grip."Like, fuck nice."Romeo yelled back. I don't want to fucking see him around you.""You can't order me around, I'm not your fucking girlfriend."I snapped at him and the whole audience gasps. If looks could kill, I would have been six feet under with the ground with the look Romeo gave me. He gazed at me for a very long time before walking away. I heaved a sigh of relief when he was finally out of sight.Poor Xander!"Are you okay?" I asked. He nodded his head in the affirmative and gave me his best smile. I squatted to check if he sustained an injury, with the way Romeo slammed him against the wall. Thankfully, he didn't have any wounds. "Should we go to the school hospital?"I offered, then pulled him up. He forced a smile."I'll be fine Ivy, you should go before Romeo comes back."Fuck Romeo and his temper! I turned back and went to Joey's locker."You'll never guess what Rom
This beautiful moment was ruined when my phone rang. I pushed myself off his lap as my cheeks turned pink.Romeo cleared his throat."Well.."He trailed off. I checked the caller. It was my mother. I quickly picked the call. "Mom."I said, my voice coming out rasped. Mom didn't say something really important. She just called to ask about my welfare and that she would be late tonight. "Bye mom."I muttered, then I hung up the call. Silence reigned in my room and it was uncomfortable. None of us talked for a few minutes."Get a shower, we're going out."Romeo told me. "Where are we going?"I questioned him. He shot me a wink."Just get a shower, pumpkin. I will be waiting for you."*After taking a shower and putting on some neat clothes, it took me a really long time before I could find the courage to get out and face Romeo. What the heck just happened earlier! I could still feel wetness from the intimate moment earlier. I've never felt like this in my whole life. Is that what sex look
"Hey Phillips! Where is my mom?" I asked my mom's boyfriend as I walked inside our living room.Phillips and my mom have been seeing each other for a few months now. It's becoming something serious and I kinda liked Philips too, he used to treat me as if I was his biological daughter."She went to get some groceries, she should be back soon,"Phillips replied. "Okay. I'll just take a shower"I'll be meeting Romeo's mother in the evening. I'm really nervous. Even though this is not a real thing, I still feel nauseous. Romeo will be picking me anytime soon. Calling Joey made me feel better. She gave me the encouragement I needed.When I came downstairs, I met Philips and Romeo.Oh God no! This is no good. Why did you come early?"What's going on?"I queried them.I took in the scene before me. Romeo was sitting between my mom and Phillips laughing off to only what God knows.My mom winked at me."You look hot in that dress girl, right Romeo?""You didn't tell me you have a date,"Philips
The door of my room creaked open. I closed my eyes properly, pretending as if I was sleeping. Pretending to sleep is the only thing I could do in order to skip school. Talking to my mother about the situation is so useless."Won't you go to school today? It's almost 8pm."My mother's high-pitched voice resounded in my head.I didn't give her a response, still pretending to sleep. She should get out of my room. I don't want anyone to bother me this morning. "Ivy, stand up as soon as possible. I know that you're not sleeping. It's pretty obvious."She snapped at me. I lifted my shoulder in a half shrug as I opened my eyes."What?"I yawned lazily with a frown on my face. "You're late for school, girl. Go and have your bath, you need to go to school."She instructed me. "I don't wanna go to school."I muttered under my breath. She folded her arms over her chest, her eyebrows furrowed."Why?"My jaw dropped. I thought I had said it silently, so she heard me. Well, it is even better that wa
He lifted an eyebrow, gazing at me with disbelief."You don't have a fûcking right to shout at me, pussy.""Mind your language, Romeo."Mr Banks shouted at him.Although Mr Banks has intervened, I won't let it slide. He just used two dirty languages on me, 'fucking' and ' pussy '. Who the heck does this asshole think he was? "You don't tell you what to do, Old Roger.''Romeo retorted, which made the whole class burst into laughter. What he said was definitely funny but it was damn rude. How would he talk to our English teacher in that manner? I turned to him, glaring at him."You're fûcking rude, low life dick."His brows snapped together."Low life dick? What the fuck does it mean? You just called my dick ' low life '. The dick you have been craving for. The dick that would make you paralyzed. The dick that would take your damn virginity."My hands tightened into fists. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing could come out.All what he said really affected me and they rendered
"Are you deaf?"His husky voice jerked me into reverie. I quickly recovered from the shock that I found him here and braced myself. I shouldn't act like a dummy, especially in his presence. I let out a loud hiss."What?"I asked rather rudely. His brows drew together."What the fuck are you doing here, dummy?"He repeated the question he asked earlier. I lifted an eyebrow."I'm not a dummy. By the way, I should be asking you the same question, dickhead."I retorted."I'm just gonna act like I didn't hear the last word you said."He scoffed."Good for you, dickhead."I said sarcastically. I don't know why, but I like how I'm attacking him with my words and that the attacks have an effect on him. I'm so proud of myself. Maybe, this would be one of my little ways of getting revenge from him for treating me like trash. He moved an inch closer to me, but I pulled back instantly. Not that I'm scared, I don't wanna catch a strong whiff of his cologne. I don't even want the familiar scent of his
