Darcy🍀
The hallways were crowded with students trying to get to their lockers and various classes. Normani had to rush off for a student council meeting and promised to talk to me at lunch. Finally getting to my locker and putting in the combination as it opened with a click, I put in my books before feeling the presence of someone at my back.
"Boo!" I screamed in surprise, my second best friend Joel laughing at my facial expression as I frowned at him for scaring me like that.
"Joel, don't do that! You know I'm easily startled" I said folding my arms
"I know, that's why i did that" he replied with a mischievous smirk playing at his lips.
"You're such a douche."
"A douche that you loveee" he teased causing me to smile.
Joel was my other best friend, we met in math camp. *yes I went to math camp* and we became close ever since. He was a dork and loved to tease me a lot, he was also very good with computers and coding and was currently working on designing an app for the school.
"You look too happy for your first day of school" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Yeah, I'm happy to see you Darcy. I love what you did to your hair" his eyes went to my hair as she smiled softly at me causing me to blush.
Joel and I didn't see all summer because he was off in Singapore for a family vacation so we mostly communicated through FaceTime and texts. Also he was cute, he had shaggy black hair that fell to cover his eyes, tall with a lean physique and wore framed glasses that made him look like a hot nerd. He was currently putting on blue skinny jeans, white sneakers and a white plain hoodie. I might have just a little teeny tiny crush on Joel but I don't think he sees me as nothing more than a friend but normie always argues with me that Joel does like me back.
*apparently she sees the way he's always looking at me with love in his eyes, I wonder where she sees that happening cos I never do*
"So, ready for homeroom?" he asked, his voice bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah sure.. let's go."
Joel sat next to me as we discussed plans for the new semester, Normani walked in with her boyfriend Tyler as they both sat down at the back with her sitting on his lap and giggling happily. Tyler was the quarterback for the football team in our school and he was insanely popular and really hot, he and normie have been dating for a very long time now and he's crazy about her. The teacher hadn't arrived yet, so i brought out my notebook doodling on it to pass time when almost immediately the class went completely silent. Looking up from my doodles, my eyes locked with that of one of the most dangerous guys in all of my school.
Jason Bartel and his two other friends walked in looking all brooding and dangerous in their black leather jackets and boots. They were considered the misfits of the school because of the things they did on the low. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gang fights and anything dangerous and wild was where you'd find them. Last semester Jason was suspended for battering up a teacher and I never imagined that he'd want to come back or better still finish his senior year.
Jason bartel was very hot. He was tall with broad shoulders and packed with the right amount of muscles. He had tousled golden blonde hair, with thin lips which always seemed to be in a straight line. Even with how dangerous and brooding he was, he was very popular among the student body and also girls flocked towards him like crazy. He was also from a very rich family, his dad being a very popular director of one of the media agencies in California. I watched he and his two friends walk towards the back of the class as they all took their seats ignoring the eyes of everyone in class. I couldn't help but stare at Jason. He grew hotter over the summer, his eyes in a deep frown, one of his eyebrow slightly raised as he stretched out on his seat.
His eyes suddenly went to mine as i stared back in surprise as he gave me a blank look wondering why I was staring at him. I immediately looked away, his stare intimidating me and making me sweat.
*he might be really attractive, but i could never say two words to him. He's the kind of boy that could smash me with just a click of his fingers*
The teacher finally arrived, as he introduced himself as Mr Jake. He seemed like a no nonsense kind of person and decided that the first thing to do was completely change our seating arrangements. The class obviously wasn't too keen on the idea but he didn't seem to care because he made it clear that no one was allowed to change and that was our permanent seats till the end of the semester.
"Jason bartel, go sit next to Darcy Muriel"
My eyes widened in shock at who my teacher just sent to sit next to me. He just shrugged, picking up his bag and coming to sit next to me while I watched Joel go someplace else. I sat still in my seat refusing to look at him or acknowledge his presence.
*he weirdly had an effect on me and I didn't like it one bit*
I felt his eyes on me as i turned to look back at him to see him give me this look trying to figure out who I was. Obviously he wouldn't really know who I was, we've never said two words to each other plus i used to look different back then. He realized that I had caught him staring and he held my gaze, his lower lip quirking into a sly smirk daring me to speak. I rolled my eyes at that, yes he was hot but his attitude was ass.
He chuckled at that, the deep rumble of his voice having an effect on me as I found myself liking how he sounded.
"What's funny?" I asked with a small frown
"Oh so she speaks.." he teased that sly smirk still on his face.
I just rolled my eyes once more at that deciding to just ignore him.
"If you keep that up, it'll just roll to the back of your head."
"Excuse me?"
"You're Darcy right, the shortie with braces and huge glasses" he teased with a slow lick of his lip causing my eyes to widen in surprise to how he recognized me.
"And what if I was?"
He gave a soft smile to that giving me a wink in the process the action melting my heart into a puddle.
"Yeah.. well just wanted to say hi to my new seat partner" he replied turning his attention to the teacher a ghost smile playing on his lips.
Did Jason just flirt with me? And wait up? How the heck did he recognize me? I don't remember ever speaking to him.. I thought as i shortly stared at him wondering what exactly I just got myself into.
