Hearts_Aligned

The rest of the week was hectic. The number of girls that bombarded me doubled and eventually I had to eat lunch in the bathroom 3 times and during those three times,

I heard the worst things about me.

 Some were mostly rumors but it still hurt, suddenly I was not a virgin and I made out with people for money according to one of the girls.

 By the end of the week I had guys coming to me with cash for s*x, it was horrible and to top it all, I was way behind for the assignment, axel was obviously no help and Austin was suddenly so interested that he threatened to report me if I don't include him in anything and I gave in.

 We were to meet up sometime during the weekend and he chose Saturday at his house cause then he wasn't expecting any of his bitches, his words not mine.

 I agreed to because I wasn't letting him in my room for any reason and besides Maddy was always out on Saturdays so it was great.

 Maddy obviously found out that we were study partners and warned me to not even think about pushing myself on him or else she'd do something horrible but I wasn't gonna cower out and let my grades suffer.

 So that's how I found myself at the door of Austin McCarthy, the one person I swore never to be entangled with.

 After hours and hours of contemplating, I finally decided to knock and boy did I regret that. As soon as my knuckles reached the door, he opened it with a dark haired hottie clinging onto him.

 "Uh…may we help you?" the girl asked still holding onto Austin. I gave Austin a death glare before turning to the girl, "seems like you guys are busy so I'll just-" Austin interrupted me.

 "No, she was just leaving" he signaled her to leave. "Excuse you, what about the plans we made, my house remember" she rubbed his chest and seductively looked at him but he didn't return the look back.

 "Urgh…you're asking me to leave cause of this bitch" she groaned pointing at someone behind me because It was definitely not me she called a bitch.

 "Becky leave now" his voice changed to match his irritated expression and she left, shouldering me to the side.

 I watched her leave before, she must've thought she'd scored the jackpot but like any other girl, he couldn't care less about them.

 "Wanna come in or you wanna follow her" he said. "I'm starting to think that's not a bad idea" I retorted as I entered, he laughed it off and escorted me to his room. "Welcome to my sacred grounds"

 I looked at his room, it wasn't what I had expected, he had a desk with actual books, his bed neatly done, trophies in order and arranged nicely on his shelf, his room looked really cozy compared to mine. "You really have a thing for staying outside, don't you?" he snapped me out of my thoughts.

 I walked in and dropped my things on the floor but he stopped me before I could sit, "Don't tell me you wanna study on the floor" before I could respond he patted his bed, signaling me to hop on, I gave him the 'no way in hell look' and he gave up "fine then".

 I turned around to get my pen from my bag when a head popped on my laps, "the fuck do you think you're doing McCarthy" I yelled, moving away from him causing him to hit his head.

 "Ouch!" he said rubbing his head, "what's your deal, girl, it's not like I'm going to get you pregnant by just resting on your laps" he said.

 "Doesn't matter, I'm not a fan of it!" I said. "Ohh…you're gay" he said in a realizing tone. "What? No, no, look I came here to study, I might as well leave if I can't do that" I told him. "Okay fine, weirdo" he stayed on his bed and I decided to study at the desk.

 Minutes into the study, he struck again. He came so close to my ear and put his chin on my shoulder, "I wanna help" he whispered. I pushed his face away harshly,

 "dude! Didn't they teach you anything on personal fucking space" I yelled at him and he came closer, "didn't they teach you to be nicer to your host, Jesus!" before we could battle even more, a loud bang came from his door;

 "McCarthy, time to partaayyyy!" chad's voice yelled from the other side of the door. I hurried to his window and saw the many cars outside, 'shit' I said to myself.

 Austin reached out for the door but I stopped him on time releasing a small shriek. "Don't you dare open that door" I whispered to him aggressively. "Start the party, I'll be out in a minute" he yelled back and I heard chads receding footsteps.

 "What party?! Tell them to leave" I told him. "Geez, for a girl acted all tough and shit, you really want some alone time that much?" he joked.

 "It's not funny, okay? I can't be seen with you!" I said packing my stuff. "Firstly, ouch and secondly, why is that?" he asked cocking his head to the side. "I'm not supposed to be associated with people like you, it'll-" he interrupted me,

 "what do you mean people like me" his expression changed. "It's really hard to explain but I can't be here, I have to leave" I said walking towards the door.

 "Well it wouldn't be the smartest choice to walk out of the room of the person you so badly do not want to be seen with, that too with half of the school downstairs." He said in an all knowing tone… "Half of the school? Then-"

 I trailed off to my head…Maddy is definitely one of them. "What do I do" I said my thoughts out loud, visibly panicking.

 "You can just stay here until the party gets intense and ill sneak you out" he said, putting on a hoodie. "I don't know how long that'll take" I told him as he walked towards the door.

 "Honey please, it's MY party…2 minutes max, lock the door and only open when I say so" and he left with confidence.

 Half an hour passed and I was pretending to be in an award ceremony and his trophies were my award.

 This wasn't because the party wasn't intense yet, it was so intense that the ground beneath me was shaking but the Austin I know was already balls deep into the party, so I just continued with my award ceremony.

 Another 10 minutes had passed and my borrowed trophy was now a microphone that I was singing my heart out to, not gonna lie, they have a mad ass playlist.

 Eventually, a huge knock on the door scared me to death and I ended up dropping his trophy on the ground. I just hope he doesn't like badminton as much, oh who I am kidding; I mean he won a freakin award from it.

 Another knock came and I gathered the trophy and stuffed it in my bag then opened it. "About time!" I said but he just pulled his hoodie off and for a split second I could see his toned v-line before he put it on me….hmm, déjà vu.

 He took my bag and led me outside after covering my face halfway so no one would see. We were so close to victory when the worst thing happened, some guy spotted Austin and pulled him abruptly which meant I was also pushed.

 The hood came off and in that moment, Ely, my sister's closest minion walked by and looked at me dead in the eye before getting carried away.

 I ran back to my house and immediately locked the door. What was gonna happen, "she obviously saw me which meant that Maddy would know…oh shit", and I ranted to myself while waltzing up and around my room.

 "But…it was a crowded party and she seemed drunk so maybe she won't remember?" I said with just enough optimism to settle my mind and go to bed that night.
