“He is bad news…”
Chapter 1
*Past – 6 years ago*
Most of the girls talk about their first kiss at the age of 14 to 15, right? Well, my first kiss was a little earlier… Let me explain. Everett and I were friends during primary school. He was really nice but loved trouble. We were good friends, though he never visited my house, and I never visited his. No one knows why, we just didn’t. My parents knew about him and they liked him, as well as his parents about me. Until… I’ll explain later, hold on.
“Everett!” I shouted, looking at him as he ran away. “Give me my pencil back!”
He looked back at me as he walked away playfully. “Come and get it!”
Ugh, I SO hated this boy. I stood up and walked to the desk. Everett started laughing and looked at me, running round the desk. I rolled my eyes and chased after him quickly. He got out of the classroom and ran to the yard. I walked slower, since I felt tired. He didn’t, though. I watched as he ran around a tree, being all proud he stole my pencil. I rolled my eyes and ran outside the school building, looking for him. I walked slower, till I felt someone knocking me down.
“Everett! You’re dead, I swear!” I shouted so loud, it made him close his eyes. I laughed in his face before escaping his tight grip. He was still laying on the grass when I took my pencil. He stood up and grabbed my arm.
“Hey, Evelyn?” he called, looking at me shyly.
“Yes Everett?”
He looked down, releasing my arm. “You know I was wondering…”
“What?”
“I always see Kyle with this girl, Alice, “kissing” all the time. What does kissing feel like?”
I laughed. “How would I know, Everett?”
“You know everything” he said, giving me a bright smile.
I giggled. “I don’t know this one”.
“We can try” he breathed out. “Right?”
I nodded. “We could…”
“Come on, please?” he begged.
I laughed. “Okay, if you show me how”.
He took a step closer to me. I looked around, checking if someone is here. I looked into his blue eyes, smiling. Yes, I so hated this boy but I don’t know, there’s something that keeps pushing me closer to him. Who knows, I’m just 11, I’m stupid.
He looked at me. I looked back, half–smiling. That’s when he awkwardly pressed his lips against mine. It was an angry kiss, a weird kiss. Not like the ones we see in the movies, where the boy kisses the girl with so much passion. We knew nothing. This…“kiss” lasted for three seconds only, before Everett decided to pull away. He looked at me and blinked, before smirking.
“It’s not that good”.
And he walked away.
*Present – Age 17*
I walked into the school. Teens everywhere. More freshmen this year. I looked pretty old compared to them. Nah, just kidding. I was just 17, geez. Yes, I’m officially a senior now. Joy.
I unfolded that paper they gave me with my entrance, so I can find my locker. I wandered around the hallways till I finally found it. I got my key and opened the locker. There, I found my books and a schedule, along with the names of the teachers. Damn, why did summer have to end? I always hate Septembers. I do, they’re the worst month of them all. It’s when summer ends. I would like them more if it wasn’t for the song of Green Day, “Wake Me Up When September Ends” or the song of All-Star Weekend, “Blame It On September”. Yes, everybody loves Septembers, no kidding.
Nudge. Nudge. Nudge.
I turned around, just to face two curious eyes looking at me. New girl? Ugh, more trouble for a 17-year–old, I can’t take it. “Excuse me, are you new here?” she asked.
I smiled. “No, I’m an old student of Westchester High. You?” I asked the girl back.
“Yes, I came here today. New York seems cool” she mumbled.
My eyes widened. “That’s where you live? That’s twenty minutes away –– or more!” I said, surprised.
“No, I don’t live there. I visited New York yesterday and it was awesome” she explained. “I’m from Indiana”.
“Cool” I nodded.
“Yes, I miss my friends so much. Hey, we could be friends!” said the girl, all happy.
“Sure. I’m Evelyn” I introduced myself, smiling gently.
“I’m Sienna” the girl said, shaking my hand. I giggled, feeling a pair of eyes on me. I gulped, turning around. No one. Weird.
“So, how did you end up here?” I asked kindly.
“My mom’s getting married and we moved in with my stepdad and his son” Sienna explained fast, eyeing her schedule.
“I’m sorry” I mumbled, nibbling at my bottom lip.
Sienna looked at me. “It’s all good, Evelyn. Oh, the wedding is next week. You can come, bring your parents too!” she said excited.
“Sienna, come on. No one knows us” I murmured.
“I do! I’m gonna be so alone there, please!” she begged me.
I gasped. “Ugh, FINE!”
She hugged me. “Thanks! You’re the best friend EVER!”
I laughed. “I’m really not”.
The bell rang, calling us to gather to our classes. I glanced over at Sienna, who was now walking to her class. I shot a glance at my schedule, noticing I had Physics with Mr. White. Damn it, damn it, damn it. So boring. I turned on my heel and began to walk there, when I caught his eyes from the other side of the hallway looking over at me. I gulped. My head turned automatically and I looked at him, holding his gaze. Everett.
We haven’t talked since 6th grade. He decided to be the “bad boy”, and I was just too good for his taste. Every week, he would get into trouble; he just couldn’t live without it. He was hanging out with Bryan and Jake, who were also like him. We used to be friends, yeah, but that ended. Maybe too harshly. The point is that it ended and to this day, he wouldn’t even bother to look at me. Until today.
He was leaning against a wall of lockers, his usual smirk on. He gazed into my eyes playfully. I felt my spine trembling. He stood up and walked to me, but rudely passed by me, as if I didn’t exist. I looked at my feet, confused. I turned my head and glued my eyes on his back as he walked away. He turned and returned my look, still smirking. Then he lost inside the empty hallway.
Okay, what was that? What happened to Everett? He wouldn’t even care to even look at me and now I caught him staring at me. Oh my gosh, he looked at me. Yes, it was a shock since he was my crush I have no chances with. I smiled. What a bright day, really. I can’t believe that Everett Randers, known as the bad boy of all time, actually LOOKED at me, known as nobody.
God, help me get through this.
