Lisa's POV:
We stare at each other for few seconds until I clear my throat and utter "So.. Umm, what are you reading?"
"Astronomy. Not really into it but I was bored" he says turning the page.
"And now.. you are on the fifth book?" I chuckle.
As he looks up to me to say something, a girl interrupts.
She literally just sits next to him on the same seat.
"Dani, What are you doing here?" she asks him and then gives me a death stare.
Nope, I don't get intimated so easily.
I roll my eyes and start to read minding my own business.
"Dani, answer me!" she says pulling his face towards herself.
She looks at him with a pout face. Ew.
Come on, Dani, answer her. Lol.
We were sitting in the back so the teacher didn't really lay his eyes on us.
Daniel clears his throat and removes her hand from his face.
"What?" he asks her in a rude voice.
"I wanted to ask, when will you ask me out, Dani? You know, For the dance party?" she asks and then looks at me with all the evil in herself.
She is Nora, she is basically the mean and rude girl in highschool. She tries to impress every other guy and treat people like trash.
I had a friend, bella. Me, Brittney and Bella were too close to each other.
Nora was jealous of our friendship because we were so popular in school. We used to do everything together.
She tried to approach Bella and wanted to become friends with her. Bella and her got so close, even me and Brittney used to talk to her.
And then she revealed her true colours.
She started treating bella like shit. When we weren't around, she used to bully her over almost everything in front of everyone. Her style, her family, her face and her family's wealth.
Just because she is so rich, which she brags about alot, doesn't mean she is gonna bully everybody who is isn't as rich as her.
Bella being so innocent, didn't tell us until we found out eventually.
I went to Nora and said everything I could and I don't regret what I said. She deserves even worse.
Bella was moved to California after a year but we still are in contact.
But Nora hasn't stopped. She still bullies weak or shy people.
She thinks that these people have no defense and humiliates them in front of everyone.
Although, I'm not really confident but if it's about bullying I always stand against it.
She doesn't like me, so do I.
She knows I'm not the one who stands her shitty comments.
"What made you think that I'm gonna ask you out for the dance party?" he says reading the book.
God, how can someone look so fine while reading?
Wait, why am I acting like her?
Suddenly, Nora stops smiling and asks "W.. What do you mean? Aren't we like together?"
"Nora, I'm not trying to be disrespectful but just because I helped you out to finish an assignment once doesn't mean we are together" He says throwing his book on the desk making her flinch.
And me..
He looks at me with a soft glare as I flinch.
"But? I like you!" she says.
"Are you sure? Let me remind you that have a boyfriend. Maybe you should tell HIM that" he says standing up.
Wait, what?
Feeling sorry for whoever her boyfriend is.
Woah!
The bell rings.
Everybody leaves.
I place the books on the shelf.
After few periods, the school ended.
Unfortunately, I was late to catch the bus.
My Mom and Dad weren't at home so I planned to go in a taxi.
"Hey, you haven't left yet?" someone says from behind.
I turn around and see Josh.
"Yeah, I couldn't catch the bus so I'm waiting for a taxi" I say.
"Come on, I'll drop you off. Hop in!" he says spinning his car keys.
"No, it's not necessary. I'll grab a taxi from he.." I say and get interrupted.
"Shh, come on, hurry!" he says as he opens the passenger seat door for me.
I shake my head and sit in his car.
...
"So, Are you coming to the dance party?" he asks.
"No. I mean, I don't know. I don't really go to such school events" I say as he looks at me with wide eyes.
"So, you are saying that you have never been to a dance party? He asks raising his eyebrow.
"Is it a bad thing? I don't think so" I say giving him a questionable look.
"Come on, you have to come. It's gonna be so fun. I won't accept a No"
"No".
"Pleaseeee?" he says with puppy eyes.
"I don't even have a dance partner, what am I gonna do there!" I laugh looking at him.
"I'd love to be your dance partner" He says with a smirk.
"You?" I ask raising my eyebrow.
"Yeah, what's wrong in me?"
"Oh, No. You wouldn't want that" I laugh mockingly.
"Why?"
"Coz, I'm a terrible dancer" I try to reason.
"I'll teach you how to dance" He says as we reach my home.
No, he didn't already know my address. I told him earlier, don't worry.
"So, you are not giving up, are you?" I ask one last time.
"Nope" he nods his head. "are you coming?"
I sigh as I say "Maybe".
"Bye and thank you, for the ride" I say with a smile grin.
I get out of the car and walk up to my door and try to find the keys from the bag.
I wave at Josh as he pulls his car in reverse.
