Chapter 2: Chapter 2- Jace Rodríguez
Jace's POV
It was the 24th of October, 7:55 am. I am riding my bike as I head my way towards school. Classes starts at 8 am and right now, I'm sure that I'll be late as shit.
I entered the school and locked my bike on the bike rack but unfortunately, the lock won't close. 'God... what a nice morning!' I mumbled to myself.
I left the bike in its place and head inside the school without even thinking. I sprinted through the hallways, not minding if I would bump on someone or not. As always, the girl with long hair whose name is Maddie Fletcher would always try to follow me along with her best friend, Isabelle Miller. Sigh... what do they want this time?
When I passed by them, Maddie tried interrupting me as Isabelle would just watch us from the corner of her eye. Maddie would usually be the loud one while her friend would be the silent one. Opposites.
Maddie tapped on my shoulder as she ran along with me. "Hey Jace, good morning!" She cheerfully said. Jeez, she is so loud and now, everyone is looking at us.
"Good morning." I said in a cold tone. Actually, this girl has a boyfriend so I honestly don't know why she is following me. Isabelle was behind us, trying to catch up.
"So anyways, my friend, Isabelle wants to invite you to come to her party. It's a party for those who got into the student exchange program. You got in though." She said as she looked back at Isabelle and then back at me again. Oh just sharing, Isabelle came from a rich family and I'm sure that the school asked them to host the party this year. I gave Maddie a cold look. "If she wants to invite me, why won't she ask me herself?" With that, she wasn't able to reply. She became silent.
After a few seconds of silence, someone hissed behind us. I looked back and saw Isabelle on the ground, holding her feet. "Ouch! Guys, wait up!"
Maddie and I stopped running as we both rushed to her. "Looks like she has a minor sprain. I better bring her to the school clinic." I said as I lifted her up and carry her in a piggy-back-ride manner. But then, I could've sworn that I saw Maddie giving her a thumbs up. I didn't mind it though.
While we are walking our way towards the clinic, I looked at my watch. It says '8:08 am' so basically, I'm late for my first subject. But whatever, a person is much more important than being late. I sighed.
Isabelle noticed that I was deep in thoughts. She smiled at me but... as usual, I would give a cold look. But then, she still looked happy after that. "Hey Jace, thanks for helping me go to the clinic. It means a lot to me, ya know." She said which shows that she is flirting with me. I sighed and gave her a reply. "Yeah, no problem."
She chuckled and honestly I don't find it cute. Jeez, why is she trying hard to make me fall for her? My goal right now is to study and make it to the nationals. I sighed for like the third time of the day.
"Um, may I ask a favor though?" She suddenly asked which made my eyes widen. Actually, even though she is rich, she never asks someone to do a favor for her. "What is it?" I replied back.
She smiled as I noticed that her cheeks became slightly pink. "Um... can you please go to the party with me?"
Jeez, if I was drinking something right now, I'm sure that I spit it out as she said that. Luckily, no one is around or else, the whole school might think that I'm with this girl.
Without even thinking, I accepted her favor. And with that, she became happy as she said the word 'Yes' out loud for like 10 times. I was really annoyed as I think that it was childish.
I brought her to the clinic and the nurse told me to leave her there. And with that, she stopped being hyper and became her normal, quiet self again. I went back to the class with 15 minutes left 'til the first subject ends.
I sneaked to my chair and sighed as I sit down. Someone tapped me on my shoulder again but this time, it was Seth Cooper, the school's playboy. Instead of annoying me or something, he asked me a very serious question.
"You are coming to the party, right? Who will be your date or something?" He asked as his face plastered his signature smirk. Hmm... should I tell him that I'm not going? Or... should I tell him the truth?
"Well, I'm going with Isabelle Miller."
He became shocked as I said her name. "What? The one who hosted the party will be your date?"
I nodded. "Yeah. She invited me."
He slumped back into his sit and listened to the teacher who is discussing in front. His eyes were fixed on the teacher's bust as he licked his lips. Ewww... he is into teachers now?
After a few minutes of being annoyed with my seatmate, he tapped my shoulder again. "Jeez dude. Mrs. Yamashita is so voluptuous. I can't wait to be in bed with her. Hmmm... what if you join me in having s--" I cut him off before he says more perverted things about the 23-year old woman. "What the fuck dude! We are in school to study, not to slack around ." I replied as I playfully slapped his shoulder. "Oh come on dude. I'm sure you would like having a thre-----" I slapped his face and focused on the lecture.
He continued blabbering about his GF, about what they usually do together ( and since I'm pretty sure that you don't wanna hear it, I'm not gonna state those stuff ). The talk became serious as he told me terrible things about her. Jeez, this dude is really a playboy. "You know what dude, you should treat your girl with respect. "
"You know what dude, you SHOULD be like me. So that you won't be lonely anymore....-" With that, I stood up from my seat and instantly punched him. "I'm not gonna be like you."
As the fight became louder, Mrs. Yamashita came to us and stopped us from having a brawl with each other. Sadly, she believe his story and not mine. I was punished with a month full of detention.
"Wow, today is such a nice day." I sarcastically mumbled to myself.
