On arriving back at school, I saw that it was already recess which meant that I wouldn't get to miss History which was right after recess.
Heaving a sigh of relief, I turned to Max and clasped my hands in front of him.
"Thanks so so much for this, Max. You're an absolute lifesaver!" I whispered gracefully.
"It's fine, Allison," Max smiled just a bit, holding my hands.
"Still thanks a lot," I turned and began heading in the direction of my locker when an all-so familiar voice called my name.
"Allison, is that you?" I instantly whirled around on hearing his voice. His eyes locked with him and he strode towards me with fierce eyes and a scowl on his face. Oh no!
"Just where the heck have you? Where are your clothes? And...where is my sushi?" he glanced at my empty hands and looked back at me. "So... answer my questions!"
"I-I..." I tried speaking but the words got caught in my throat.
"She was with me," Max placed a hand on
I arrived at Derris' estate with my heart literally in my throat. After being let in by the butler, I slowly made my way to his room. With a pounding heart, I gulped and knocked on the door. No answer.I knocked even louder but still, no answer. After knocking for the fifth time with no affirmation to come in, I decided to go ahead and open the door. I did and popped my head in to find no one in the room.Great. Now I feel like an idiot for knocking on the door to an empty room.I moved back and closed the door, only to find Derris standing right behind me."Ahh!" I yelped, jumping back in fright, hitting my elbow against the door pretty hard. "Geez, you scared me."The expression on his face told me he could care less about me so I didn't bother telling him about my elbow."You wanted to see me?" I said when the silence got too intense."Yeah, the last thing I want right now is to see you but we do have to work on our project so unfo
I'd never been more surprised by anything else in my entire life than when Max asked me out and that's saying a lot considering all that's happened with Derris in the last few days.Looking back at Max, I tried to look for signs that suggested foul play. Maybe it was a joke or a prank because there was no way that Max Crest, international superstar was actually asking me out, right?"So what do you say?" Max pushed for an answer."Wait, you're not joking?" I levelled a stare at him."No. Why would I be?""Um, you're actually serious about going on a date with me?" I asked again."Yes. So is that a yes?" he flashed me a toothy smile."Uh, I guess so?" I wasn't too sure."So yes then?""Yes?" I replied, still a bit confused at what was going on."Great. That's nice to hear. What time do I pick you up?""Uh four, I guess.""Four. I'll see you then. Do you have my number?""No. I could give
Despite all my earlier fears and reservations, my date with Max had been progressing smoothly and might have stayed that way but then he showed up. And by he, yes I do mean the one and only Derris Fox."Mind if I sit?" he asked, already claiming the seat beside me. As he did, I could see a tall blonde girl take the only available seat at the table beside Max.What exactly was going on? I wanted to ask.Max beat me to it, leaning in until his face was in Derris' face."Derris, what exactly are you doing here?" he demanded through gritted teeth."Whatever are you talking about, dear friend?" he smiled back innocently."Cut the bull, Derris. It's not funny. I'm here on a date with Allison so why exactly are you here?" Max levelled a stare at him."Well what a coincidence then. I'm also here on a date. Max, Allison, meet my date, Clarissa," the blonde girl waved and smiled sweetly at Max and I.Under the table, I clenched my fist r
After cleaning up in the bathroom, I set on the long trek to Nellie's home. Afterall, it wasn't like I could walk in there after all that had happened and all that I'd said and asked for a ride.I'm not sure my heart would even be able to handle that. It was still processing the shock from literally telling two of the most popular musicians of this time to stay away from me.I would never know where the bravery came but it was never going to repeat itself so it was probably best to stay as far away from them as possible.On stepping out of the restaurant, I instantly shivered as a sudden blast of air hit me right in the face. I hadn't realized it would be this cold or I would have brought my jacket and as my shoulder and arms were bare, they were subject to the chilly air.Deciding to fight through it, I crossed my arms and continued walking. It was a beautiful starry night so it wasn't hard for me to see my way plus there were street lights.I'd o
Hours after the disastrous test and locker prank, my locker had been cleaned and aired out by maintenance and I was well over this day. The only thing I wanted was for school to be over so I could get home and settle down with a tub of Rocky Road.On my way to my last class for the day, I was accosted by none other than Derris Fox AKA the number one suspect for the locker prank."Hey you," he fell in step beside me. I threw a glance at him to find him grinning at me which wasn't weird on its one but enough to make me suspicious. He was being way too nice."Hey," I mumbled in reply. His grin disappeared and he stepped forward, effectively blocking my path. "What's wrong?" he asked, looking positively concerned.I heaved a sigh as I gazed into his eyes, looking for any sign that he was hiding something. I didn't see anything other than pure concern. Then again, I'd never been able to read him so I didn't know what to believe."It's nothin
I was still in shock up until the time Derris pulled up in front of Nellie's house to pick me up for our “meeting”, “date”... It was a bit unclear. But the fact that he showed up at all was mind boggling and left me confused. Stepping out dressed in a baggy off shoulder top and sweatpants, I couldn't help but feel a little frumpy as opposed to Derris. Despite being dressed in an equally casual outfit, he still managed to make the plain tee-shirt and ripped jeans look exquisite on his Adonis like body. Closing the door soundly behind me, I awkwardly made my way down the stairs towards Derris who was standing by the hood of his car. "H-hey," I gave a nervous wave. "Hey. You look...great," his eyes slid down the length of my body in a way that didn't make me uncomfortable. The look in his eyes actually made me feel special but I was a bit suspicious. Why was he handing out compliments all of a sudden, to me of all people? Compared to him, I looke
Subconsciously, I bit my lip in anticipation. I didn't know the reason for my action. Maybe it was because I remembered Derris earlier implying that this made him want to kiss me or maybe it was for another reason entirely. Whichever it was, I found myself biting my lip again.At that point, it seemed like Derris' last bit of control snapped. He cupped my cheeks and leaned in to close the distance between us, taking me completely by surprise. His lips had just brushed mine when a shrill voice called out, "Allison, are you out there?!"And just like that, it was all over. Derris pulled away faster than I could have ever imagined possible, leaving me completely shell shocked and with a yearning to have his lips on mine again.However, I couldn't dwell on that for long. Nellie had already walked down the stairs and was now giving Derris a very dirty look. Was it just me or did Derris' lips look a lot more enticing than before?Pushing all thoughts of my just
Shortly after, Derris pulled up in front of a small brown and white building with elegant lights and drawings of colorful ice cream flavors on the transparent windows. Simply standing before it made me hungry for ice cream and I found myself salivating already. "Wanna go in?" Derris walked up to me. "Definitely!" I bobbed my head excitedly. "Let's go in then," he slipped his hand in mine and together, we walked into the parlor. On stepping in, I could barely keep myself from drooling. The smell alone made me feel like I'd died and gone to ice cream heaven. Still in my fantasy, Derris pulled me towards the counter where he asked me to choose the flavor I wanted. I stared at everything available and found that I couldn't choose. They all looked so good. Probably sensing my inner battle, Derris chuckled beside me and gave his order to the receptionist. "We'll take two servings of one of everything along with a lot of chocolate syrup and r
