Chapter 6- Project Bad Boy

Chapter 6- Project Bad Boy

-Emma-

Monday came much faster than I expected. After that full day of shopping on Saturday , which I still despised none the less, and bumping into both Derek and Matt, Amy and I decided to spend the rest of the day watching scary movies and pigging out on junk food at her house. By the end of the night Amy and I were hiding under the covers of her bed wide awake and flinching at any noise we heard, but you didn't hear that from me. That led to us being knocked out for half the day Sunday.

I had waked up before Amy and to let you in on a little secret she sleeps with her mouth slightly ajar. So me being the brilliant prankster that I am, decided to draw a beard on her with a black marker and stand in front of her bed throwing left over popcorn aimed at her mouth. I must say I have a pretty good aim, if I do say so myself. That is, until a popcorn kernel decided to hit her on the forehead waking her up. When she saw what I drew on her and felt the popcorn in her mouth, she sprinted out of bed chasing me out the house. I lost her at the end of the street and ran to my house to hide for the rest of the day because I did not want to face her wrath and fury.

Monday morning is here and now I'm hiding near the lockers so Amy won't find me. I got my dad to drop me off early, and yes I do know how to drive if you're wondering, I just like having people driving me around. Yeah, I'm lazy. The hallway was almost clear and still no sign of Amy, so I decided to make my way to class that's until I felt a hand clamp down on my shoulder. I froze and turned around to see a very pissed off Amy glaring at me.

"Where do you think you're going?" She growled in the most menacing way.

I gulped in fear. “I-I-I was g-going to c-class" I stammered out. After a couple of seconds of her intense glaring, she suddenly burst out laughing. Laughing. Like no joke, she was laughing so hard all I could do was stare at her in bewilderment. What the hell is she laughing about? I think she's going crazy.

"O-Oh my gosh" Amy managed to say as she ceased her laughter and wiped her eye. "You should have seen your face! It was all like 'Please don't eat me!' now that was the best revenge I could have got on you"

I glared at her. "I really thought you were gonna eat me alive! I was scared for my soul"

"It's okay, I'm not gonna eat you because I already got my revenge. Man, your face was so funny." She chuckled making me roll my eyes at her.

"Come on, let's get to class before we're late" With that she grabbed my arm dragging me to yet another torturous morning of math class.

~~~

Once math was over, Amy and I made our way to our World History class. Now that's a class I actually have interest in, I mean yeah I get straight A's in all my classes including math, that even shocks me. But World History has to be the class that I actually show interest in.

Amy and I sat in our usual seats as Mrs. Jacobs walking in. She's a pretty awesome teacher. She's very laid back when it comes to her classes. She doesn't mind if you walk in late or turn in your assignments a day or two late as long as you do it and her teaching style is nothing like boring Mr. Gray and his damn math class.

"Today in class we will be starting a project" Mrs. Jacobs said catching my attention. "In this project you will be presenting a power point and report about a country I will assign you, you will have to include the history of the country, religion, food and traditions the country has or had. Don't worry you guys will be working with partners so you won't have to do all this work on your own" I turn to Amy and she smirks in my direction. "But your partners will not be in this class, we will be working with Mr. Matthew's class and we have already assigned your partners."

My smile fell when I heard that and as if on cue Mr. Matthew and his class walked in. I did a double take when I saw Matt and Aiden walk in. Oh Crap. Aiden caught me looking in his direction and smirked at me like he knew something I didn't know. I raised an eyebrow in his direction and turned my attention back to Mrs. Jacobs.

"When I call your name I want you to raise your hand so your partner knows which person to go to" She said then started to call names. She was almost at the end of the list and I had yet to hear my name or Amy's. The only two people who are left are Aiden and Matt. Damn it. "Amy you will be paired with Matt and Emma you will be paired with Aiden" Mrs. Jacobs stated. Aiden walked over to the seat next to me with that stupid smirk plastered onto his face.

Mrs. Jacobs and Mr. Matthew continued to explain the rest of the details of the project, which will be due in three weeks, throughout the rest of the class. During the whole the explanation Aiden's knee would brush against mine a couple of times. I would glance at him through the corner of my eye to see him playing on his phone not paying attention. At the last ten minutes of class, our teachers told us to turn to our partners and converse about the project. I turned to Aiden to see him staring at me intensely, then his eyes turning playful and his signature smirk was back on his lips in an instant.

"So we meet again, sweetheart." Aiden stated in a deep voice. The way he said sweetheart made me melt but I covered the affect of his words by just rolling my eyes.

"I guess we have" I replied back nonchalantly.

"About this project, why don't you just do it and slap my name at the top and we call it a day? Since you are the nerd." He said leaning back in his chair.

"How about I slap my name across your forehead as a tattoo and call it a day?" I mockingly refuted back.

"Ohh feisty, I like it" He teased. Leaning closer, he whispered into my ear. "Do it for me princess." This guy is playing with my emotions and my attraction towards him. Don't let him faze you Emma. And I won't.

"What? Are you too stupid to do it?" I questioned him.

His smirk fell as the words left my mouth and his eyes narrowed to glower at me.

"You know what, just meet in the parking lot after school nerd." He spat out just as the bell rung and left the classroom.

Shit, what did I get myself into?

~~~

The day ended rather quickly and to be honest I was glad for that. Currently, Amy and I are walking out the school doors to the parking lot.

"Matt is a total jerk" Amy complained.

"I know how you feel," I agreed.

"Yeah, but at least you like Aiden, Matt is just a douche" I laughed and shook my head." Now I have to work with the idiot for three damn weeks" I was just about to respond when I heard my name being called. I turned around to find Aiden leaning against his motorcycle and Derek standing next to him. I said good-bye to Amy and headed to where the guys were standing.

"Hey "I said to them.

"Hi Emma "Derek said smiling. I returned his smile with one of my own. "So I heard you have to do a project with this idiot for History" He stated pointing to Aiden.

I nodded. "Yup, for three weeks."

"Those are gonna be some long weeks" I giggled. He was right it is gonna be some long weeks. "Well I better get going, so I can leave you guys to get started on that project. It was nice seeing you again Emma, we should hang out sometime."

"Yeah we should" I said, smiling at his statement. He smiled back and said good-bye, leaving Aiden and I to ourselves. I turned to Aiden to see him staring at me with intense eyes. I raised an eyebrow at him and after a couple of seconds of staring he broke eye contact.

"Get on the bike, we're going to my house to work on the project" He demanded motioning to his bike.

"I am not getting on the death trap." I responded, stubbornly.

"Emma, shut up and get on the bike."

"Aiden, I don't want to I'm kind of scared "I admitted, sheepishly.

Aiden's hard eyes soften. "It's okay Em, I have a helmet you can wear and I won't go too fast. All you have to do is hold on tight and we'll been there in no time." He said in a gentle tone. My heart melted at the sound of his words. I nodded and took the helmet securing it onto my head as Aiden help me onto the bike. Who knew that Aiden Black, Jefferson High's ultimate bad boy could have such a sweet side?

Aiden took my arms and wrap them around his hard torso "Hold on tight sweetheart." And with that we were off making our journey to Aiden's house. Aiden Black, the bad boy has a sweet side, why is it so hard to believe?
