11.Katrina
The Bet
Joel
"Can I get your number?" a girl asks me as soon as I get out of my car.
I just arrived at school with Avril.
Being in the same car with her is just hell.
''Later sweetheart.'' I wink to the girl.
''Oh wow, almost two weeks here and you're already famous.'' Avril says behind me.
"Don't get jealous.'' I smirk.
"Don't forget why father sent us here.'' she says, and my smirk fell.
The conversation with father last night replayed on my mind.
''I know, you don't need to remind me.'' I speak, my playful mood gone.
''Wait, did father say something to you?" Avril asks.
"No.'' I lie walking ahead of her.
"Come on, you know how he is.'' she says trying to match my steps.
I don't say anything.
What's the point of talking about it?
''Good morning, princess.'' I say as soon as I sit down on my desk.
She doesn't respond me. I guess she's still mad about yesterday's conversation.
Come on I apologized to her. And I never do that shit.
Olivia fucking Meyer is the first person I said sorry to.
''No response?'' I ask.
"I told you to stay away from me.'' she turns.
''As if I give a fuck about that.'' I say and she narrows her eyes at me.
"Last warning, stay the fuck away from me.'' she glares at me.
"I like it when you get mad, princess.'' I grin.
"Don't call me that.'' she says.
"Don't call you what?" I act dump.
''My name is Olivia not princess.''
"And?''
"And don't call me that. I don't like it.''
"Sure princess.'' I say and her glare burns a hole on my head.
"You're such a fucking maniac, narcissist, selfish asshole that goes around kissing girls just for fun!'' she says, and I laugh.
"All those compliments just for me? Aww thank you princess.'' I say.
"I fucking hate you.'' she makes a disgusted face.
"I hate you too.'' I blow her a kiss.
"Idiot.'' she murmurs and turns ahead.
Hey, did she move her desk forward again?
I reach for her chair with my feet and drag it backwards until it reached my desk.
"You're making me tired, princess. Stop moving the fucking chair.'' I whisper at her ear.
"Listen here you fucking-''
"Good morning class.'' the teacher came in before she could finish her sentence.
She glares at me and turns ahead dragging her desk closer to her.
Good, she learned that there is no point in arguing with me.
That desk will be closer to mine, end of discussion.
It's lunch break and I'm sitting at the cafeteria with my new friends.
Friends...it's weird to call them like that. I don't know their name yet.
I was about to sit at the place we stole from the Meyers, but this guy Justin dragged me here.
I have to admit they are kinda fun, I might get used to them.
Olivia is not here though, and she isn't at her usual place.
I hate it that my eyes are searching the room for her.
''Hi Joel.'' a girl said sitting beside me.
Oh, is that girl who gave me the seat behind Olivia. What was her name again?
Sabrina? Batrina? Blerina?
I don't know, but I'm sure it started with a B.
"Hi sweetheart.'' I sweetly smile at her, and she blushes.
"I'm Katrina. I'm at your class.''' she says.
Damn, I was sure her name started with a B.
"I know who you are.'' I smile.
"If you want to know anything about the school you can ask me. I know everything that happens here.'' she says.
Hm, this is not a bad idea, I would love to get some information about Olivia.
"Sure. I was looking for someone who could help me around the school.'' I give her my charming smile.
"Great!'' she smiles, ''So what would you like to know?"
''Um...Why don't we start with the Meyers and that guy who is always with them?" I suggest her.
"Whatever you like. So, what would you like to know about them?"
"Well, I was hoping you could tell me something that not a lot of people know.'' I say and she narrows her eyes.
She looks like a smart girl and I'm very sure she knows everyone's secrets.
"It's okay if you don't know anything I'm asking for.'' I say.
''No. I told you I know everything.'' she says, and I smirk.
"Will you tell me than?"
"Why should I tell you something so valuable?" smart girl.
"Look, if you can't do it just tell me. I won't judge you.'' I smile.
She narrows her eyes.
"I can do it. But what will you give me?"
"What if I say that I'll make you my right hand?'' I say and temptation flashes in her eyes. ''It seems like no one takes you seriously here. That might change if you're beside me.''
''Okay.'' she says.
It's so damn easy to manipulate people.
"I'll be your right hand, but no one can know about it. I don't want popularity in this school.'' she says, and I raise my eyebrow.
Weird choice, but anyways, ''Okay.''
"I'm starting with Olivia.'' she says, and I smirk.
"I know that's all you care about.'' she says and my smirk fells.
What the fuck?
I narrow my eyes and she smirks.
"Okay, so Olivia never had a boyfriend.'' she says, and I raise my eyebrow.
"Why is that so?" I ask.
"I don't know. But the school thinks that she had had boyfriends before.'' she says.
I frown.
"And she never kissed someone.'' she says and my face fells.
Hold up. Olivia never kissed someone? So that means I'm her first kiss?
I feel my stomach turn.
"Well, that was before you kissed her.'' Katrina says sipping her drink.
Wait a fucking minute.
"How the fuck do you know that?" I ask.
"You underestimated me Cullen.'' she smirks.
I did actually underestimate her."So, if you're wondering why she's so mad at you it's because you're her first kiss.'' she says.
Damn. I talked to harsh to Olivia yesterday when it's me the one who ruined her first kiss.
I should apologize to her again.
"Can you believe it? Olivia's first kiss is her enemy.'' she says.
How the hell does she know that's she is my enemy?
"You're dangerous girl.'' I chuckle.
"I'll take that as a compliment.'' she says.
"You're not actually a nerd, are you?" I say.
"I don't know. Am I?'' she smirks.
''You'll be very useful to us.'' I smirk.
"I don't know, I actually love the Meyers.'' she says.
Fuck.
I can't lose this girl. She knows too much.
"We can change that.'' I say.
Before she could say something, Olivia entered the cafeteria holding a flower bouquet.
What the fuck?
"Seems like the princess got flowers again.'' Katrina says.
I narrow my eyes at her.
"Does this happen a lot?" I ask.
"You see the boys in this place? They all want her. She receives a lot of flowers and dates.'' she says, and I clench my jaw.
"Olivia. Here.'' Justin calls her.
She starts walking toward our table and I take out my phone to stop looking at her.
"Hi guys.'' she greets.
''Flowers again?" a blonde girl asks her.
"Jealous much?'' she says smelling the ugly flowers.
"Yo, Joel, why are you looking at the flowers like you want to kill them?" Justin asks laughing.
I didn't realize I was staring at them.
"I'm allergic to them.'' I lie and Katrina snorts.
I glare at her.
"Care to put them down?" I ask Olivia.
She smiles and pushes them in front of me in the table.
Hate me that much huh?
I look at the flowers and chuckle.
"Woah, girl we don't want him dead, right?" a girl with brown hair says taking the flowers away.
"I would love to.'' princess says.
''What is wrong with you two? I can feel the tension.'' Justin says rubbing his arms.
"She likes me that much.'' I smirk.
''You wish.'' she scoffs.
''I don't have to.'' I say and she glares.
"Ohh, drama is coming.'' Justin says.
''Shut the fuck up cockroach. Get up.'' a blonde girl says to Justin and pushes him out of his chair.
"Ouch, don't be mean Alexa.'' he complains.
She rolls her eyes and sits at his place, beside me.
''Hi.'' she touches my arm.
''Hi beautiful.'' what was her name again?
''I like your hair.'' she says leaning closer, touching my hair.
"I like you.'' I flirt and she blushes.
"Oh, are you two dating now?" Justin asks and Olivia snorts.
I raise an eyebrow at her.
Is the princess jealous?
"What's wrong Olivia? You don't like it?" this girl says to her.
Princess rolls her eyes and gets up.
"I'm going to my sister. The toxicity here is overfilled.'' she says.
"Bye hoe.'' the blonde yells and I narrow my eyes at her.
''Hey Olivia! You forgot your flowers.'' Justin calls.
''So, Joel-'' the blonde starts, but I get up.
"I'll give them to her.'' I say taking the flowers.
"But you were allergic to them.'' the blonde says.
"Don't worry.'' I say.
I look at Katrina and she raises her eyebrows smirking.
I walk out of the cafeteria, but instead of giving the flowers to Olivia, I throw them in the rubbish bin.
Ops, my bad!
Sorry flowers.
