Chapter nine
Elena’s pov
The following day at school was a little bit awkward, mostly because I had just spent the previous day at Mac’s house and as much as I would like to wipe off that memory, it was steamed in my mind.
I adjusted my bag as I walked through the busy hallway to my locker, students bumped into me like they didn’t see me, and not that it amounted to something anyway.
I was invisible in this school. That was why I couldn’t wait to leave.
It was senior year already and soon I’ll start applying to universities, and move away from this town. I sighed as I got to my locker and started to unlock it when someone came into my line of sight.
“Look who’s here!” A loud pleasant voice said and I turned to see my only friend Vee.
Vee was the only person who spoke to me in freshman year and we’ve been good friends since then. Her black hair had been dyed bright pink and her green eyes shone with excitement.
“What took you so long,” I mumbled before taking my history textbook from my locker.
“then gave her a big hug”
“It has only been a week Elena,” Vee said as she signed and I scoffed.
“If only you have an idea of what has occurred during these seven days I was away Elena,” Vee said.
“Really what?” I asked.
“Ella and Stephan finally got back together after realizing that summer camp couldn’t keep them apart? Benedicta got a new boyfriend and Anita got a breast implant.” Vee said, placing her hand on her hips.
“I don’t know how you manage to get all these pieces of information even without being in school,” I said and Vee shrugged.
“If you were on the school chat you’ll know,” she replied.
“I don’t have enough internet to waste on gossip,” I said as I smiled.
Vee rolled her eyes. “So let me guess you don’t know Tisha is hosting a party tonight?”
“You just resumed! No partying for me. I have maths homework to do.”
“You’ll have all weekend, don’t worry you’re still Mr John’s best student.” Vee playfully hit my arm.
“I don’t think so. We weren’t even invited and I don’t think Tisha likes me very much.” I said. Tisha believed that I was taking her boyfriend as mine, which was funny to me.
“That’s true, but we can just sneak in,” Vee said as I laughed, taking my maths textbook before shutting my locker.
“I ca-” I tried to speak before someone interrupted.
“Hey.” A deep voice said from behind me and I recognized it immediately, I closed my eyes as I sighed when Mac strolled in front of me.
He was wearing his football jersey today. As the captain of the Lions the cocky attitude was a plus. His back hair was styled perfectly and his blue eyes glittered with mischief and a smirk filled his face.
“Hi,” I said, rolling my eyes as I tried to move past him but he stepped in front of me again.
I heard Vee gasp in surprise and I sighed before glaring at him. He seemed unfazed by my reaction and I heard Dan snicker behind him, wearing the same football jersey.
“Would you be coming to Tisha’s party tonight?” Mac asked and I scoffed.
“No. Now excuse me, I have a class now.” I grunted and Mac smiled.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
I felt Vee bop me and I turned to her, she widened her eyes as if threatening me to say no.
“The bell hasn’t even rang yet?” Mac said, looking up at the speakers.
“Well, unlike you, I like being early so now move.”
“Come for Tisha’s party, it would be fun,” Mac said again and I rolled my eyes.
“I said no! Are you dumb to understand that?”
I felt Vee hit me again and I turned to her but she ignored me facing Mac with a fake smile on her face.
“We’ll be delighted to be there.” She said and I gasped as I tried to speak when she grabbed my mouth with her hand, as I muffled my words.
“Thank you.” She smiled and I shook my head at her but Mac smirked before leaning closer to me and whispering in my ears.
“Wear something sexy.” He said and all the hairs at the back of my head stood at his voice and shivers ran down my spine. He smirked at me before looking at my lips and walking away with the rest of his friends.
I hated how much his words affected me, especially those bright blue eyes that stared at me so intently like he could see the deepest corners of my soul.
And that perfect body and foreboding height that towered over me, then that deep baritone voice that sen-
“back to earth Elena!” Vee clapped her hand in front of my face and I shook in fright, blinking rapidly as I snapped out of my thoughts.
“What?” I said as I started walking down the hallway to my class and Vee gasped running after me.
“Mac? Mac spoke to you?!” She half yelled and a few students turned in our direction, I blushed at the reaction and glared at her.
“So what?”
“Are you serious? He never talks to people like us.” She said
“We are at the bottom of the food chain. He hangs out with Tisha and the likes of the cheerleaders. Not us, not me, not you. But he just invited you to Tisha’s party. Do you even know what that means?!” Vee said and I glanced around and turned back to her.
“It means nothing. He’s just talking to me so he can woo me to his bed. You said it yourself, he’s the Alpha male of East High and I don’t want to be one of the girls he checks off his list, plus he is a bully.” I grumbled and trotted down the hallway to my class.
“How do you know that? He could just be playing nice because everyone is trying to be friends. After all, this is our last year in high school.” Vee said and I scoffed.
“Mac? Do you mean Mac? The school bad boy and playboy, friends? Biggest sarcasm of the year. Come on, let’s head to class.”
“But when did you guys even start talking to each other? He has never spared you a second glance before, and has always been bullying you.” Vee asked thoughtfully. “Was it during the days I didn’t come to school?”
“Yeah, we even got paired in Agriculture class.”
“Are you for real?” Vee gasped. “You have to give me the details from the beginning. It seems like not every news can be found on the school chat.” She laughed as I dragged her into class to avoid another conversation with Mac who had found a place to dwell in my mind.
