The Bad Boy’s Favorite Girl

Chapter Eighteen

Elena’s pov

It wasn’t until lunch period before I finally got over what Tisha had said and after much thought, I figured she was just being jealous that Mac was talking to me.

They had broken up over the summer break and Mac had started showing interest in me, a nobody as they called me.

But am I willing to allow someone like Mac, someone who had once bullied me, to get in my pants? Hell no!

It was only normal for her to secure her man, not like I wanted him in the first place.

Speaking of the devil, Mac plopped beside me with his tray of food, hitting me on the shoulders as I nearly spilled my food all over the floor.

“Hello, Doll.” Mac greeted me as he smiled at me and waved off his friends who went to sit at another table.

I noticed a few students glance curiously at me and mutter amongst themselves.

“What do you want?” I asked and I picked a piece of my fries and threw it in my mouth before turning to him.

“I just want to sit here, is the seat taken because I don’t see your best friend anywhere,” Mac smirked, looking around the empty table.

I usually sat with Vee during lunch but she had a few things to do with Mrs Kossi, our chemistry teacher. She was her favourite student and helped her often.

“She’s busy,” I responded, completely ignoring Mac who grinned beside me.

“Cool. I’ll keep you company then.” He said and I rolled my eyes at his statement.

“you don’t have to, and you know if I didn’t know you. I would think you have a crush on me.” I teased and Mac laughed and leaned close to my ear.

“And what if I tell you I do?” He whispered in my ear and I felt my blood freeze and I shifted away from him as he almost crashed into the chair.

“How many times have I told you that lines won’t work on me?” I asked, grabbing my drink and gulping it down to keep my hands busy.

Mac leaned towards me, but that made me anxious and I hated that he affected me without me even realizing it until I found myself blushing.

I hated that messy hair of his that fell past the clearest blue eyes I had ever seen. Eyes that looked like it was staring right into my heart. And that perfect body of his that brushed against my skin.

Ugh!

“Why was he so hot?!”

“Can’t you be nice to me for one second?” Mac grumbled and I turned to him, hating that he made a puppy look making him extra cute. I rolled my eyes, there’s no way I’m falling for that.

“I already agreed to go out with you for ice cream, that’s the nicest I can go.”

“Don’t you even want to know me?” Mac asked and I shook my head.

“Oh hell no, what I know about you is enough for me to conclude that you are not the type I should be handing out with,” I said as I sneered.

“Ok at least try to get to know me?” he said.

“No,” I replied.

“You’re not even a bit curious about the kind of person I am?”

This time I turned to him seriously. “I know the kind of person you are, Mac. You’re like an open book, easy to read and not hard to understand.” I said and he smirked.

“Really?” He said, leaning towards me again. “Tell me what you see in the open book.”

“One. You’re a player. I know all about your stupid list and how you and your friends plan to sleep with every girl in school and see who gets the most body counts.” I saw the shock on his face as I spoke.

“Two, I know you’re a jerk who dumb the girls you’ve been with over text or on the phone. Three, I know this is all just a game to sleep with me and check me off your list. Should I continue?” I asked boldly and Mac smirked.

“For a nerd, you sure know a lot of things about me. Have you been asking around?” He smirked and I frowned, pushing him away from me as he laughed.

“No. Why would I do that?” I asked curiously and I eyed him when he picked a piece of my fries and threw it in his mouth.

“You tell me. Why would someone like you know so much about me if you aren’t interested in me?” He smiled and I huffed.

“Everyone knows about you and your games,” I said.

“Really? But you don’t see them telling me to my face. It’s like you want to be in my games after all you approached me first claiming I was your boyfriend.” Mac said laughingly when I scoffed.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“That was to scare off my ex.” I almost yelled at him, hating that he wasn’t taking this seriously.

“Really?” Mac said as he leaned towards me again. “Then let’s make a deal.”

I could feel everyone in the cafeteria glancing at me.

“No. I’m not hearing whatever you have to say. I have to go now.” I said as I tried to hide the blush on my face and stood up when Mac grabbed my hand and forced me back to my seat.

“Where are you going?” He asked surprised and I glared at him.

“Away from you,” I said and he sighed before resting his head against my shoulders.

My heartbeat picked up and I froze as he sighed tiredly.

“Don’t go.” He muttered and my cheeks turned red immediately and I was glad he couldn’t see how this was affecting me. The smell of his cologne hit my nose and I had to stop myself from breathing.

“Get off me,” I said, but I didn’t have the mind to wiggle my shoulders or move away.

“I didn’t get much sleep because you were on my bed.” He grumbled and I sighed, realizing that truly, his eyes had eye bags that were barely noticeable until he leaned closer to me.

“Oh shut up. You were the one who pulled me away and took me with you.” I said and he laughed, my shoulders shaking briefly.

“It’s worth it, at least I get to spend time with you when we go out for ice cream later today. I’ll pick you up after football practice, yeah?” He asked and I sighed.

I thought he was going to forget.

“Yes. Whatever.” I responded before moving away from him as his head slammed against the chair and he groaned loudly.

I stood up quickly and ran out of the cafeteria before I could gain more attention or he would run after me.

I went to the bathroom and closed the door behind me breathing heavily and I placed my hand on my chest. My heart was thumping loudly and my cheeks were red.

“God. No. Please. I can’t feel this way for Mac. It was too risky.”
