Chapter 8

Bella Martins and Drew Parker were caught sitting together and having a conversation during the game yesterday! Drew pulled out a cigarette to smoke during the game

"Oh for the love of God" I whined

We were in class and I have no interest whatsoever about what happened in the world war II which the teacher is currently teaching so I decided to scroll through the blog.

"If you don't want to see things then don't read them" Amber said behind me

"Yeah" Stephanie added from beside her "You can't be seen hanging out with Drew and not make headlines. It's impossible"

"People gossip a lot" I complained

"Then don't go on the website" they chorused

"I can't! Okay. I'm addicted"

After a while, they were seen going out of the game to an unknown place

Where did they go?

What could they possibly be talking about?

Why is our school queen hanging out with someone like him?

At the bottom was a picture of Drew and I on the bleachers.

I glanced at Drew who was at the other side of the room. He looked as bored as I am, constantly tapping his pencil on his desk

I sent him a message

Me: Hey 😊

I saw him bring out his phone from his pocket

Drew is typing....

Drew : Aren't you supposed to be listening?

Me: Look who's talking

Drew: 😈

Me: I'm bored 😢

Drew : Let's ditch. I was thinking about it anyway

Me: I can't

Drew: Why?

Me: I just can't

Drew: sorry I forgot who you were.

I thought about it. If I ditched class and hung out with Drew, it would make us get closer

Me: fine. Where to captain?

Drew: Ever got kicked out of a store before?

I scrunched up my nose in confusion. Why would I do that?

Me: No

Drew: there's a first time for everything

Me: hmmm

Drew: you know what, I leave first then you follow. Okay?

Me: sure

Drew started coughing loudly

"Is there a problem Mr Parker?" The teacher asked

"Yes" he coughed "I have bad allergies, I need to go to the nurse's office please"

"You are permitted"

"Thanks"

He smirked at me then left the class. I giggled

If only they knew why he left

I waited for a good fifteen minutes before I put on my own show

I accidentally purposely tilted my chair to the side and fell

Everyone gasped and turned in concern

I started shedding tears

"Bella what the fuck happened?" Amber asked me "we were right behind you"

"Shut up and cover for me"

"Oh"

"Miss Martins?" The teacher asked "what's the problem?"

"She fell sir" Amber said "the chair probably isn't strong enough"

"May I be excused please" I sobbed

"Yes"

I grabbed my things and limped to the door. People whispered in sympathy

"Aww poor thing"

"She's even limping"

I left the class and text Drew

Me: where are you?

Drew: Parking lot. I'm beside your car

Me: you know my car? Stalker

Drew : Please

Pablo drops me every morning then hands me the car and keys before leaving in case I need to go somewhere during school hours

He comes back to pick me ten minutes before school closes

I went outside to the parking lot and spotted Drew leaning against my car

"How did you get outta there?" He asked

I flipped my hair

"Let's just say my acting skills are Oscar worthy"

He chuckled

"I'm corrupting you"

I put my hand on my hip and looked at him.

"Maybe I want to be corrupted"

"Good"

"So where to Mr Parker?"

"Get in and I'll show you"

I had a feeling that this was going to be a long day

Drew and I walked through the streets of Manhattan with no direction

"You know what could make this fun?" He asked

"What?"

"I dare you to twerk in front of everyone"

"What the fuck Drew. I can't do that"

"Why not?"

"My step dad is a senator. I would be the talk of the town"

"Isn't that the point? To be the one everyone talks about"

"No. I'd be notorious not famous"

"Come on, Malia Obama did it once"

"She was at a party"

"You only live once Bella. Climb on that bench and twerk your ass off"

I twisted my lips in thought. Should I do it?

All my life I've played by the rules. I think its time to do something fun

"Fine"

I gave him my things to hold. I walked over to the bench and climbed on it, my butt facing the crowd

"Watch and learn people" Drew shouted to everyone on the street. He played a song on his phone

Oh what a night

Oh what a night

The roof is on fire so what I'm high

Oh what a night

Oh what a night

She a bad bitch all jokes aside

I put my hand on my knees and started shaking my ass to the music

People had already gathered watching me. Drew and some other people cheered me on

"You go girl!" Boys hollered

Two black girls came behind me and joined me.

Everyone cheered

"Whhooo hooooo!" Drew screamed

I laughed as the three of us danced. Before I knew what was happening, several girls jumped in too

Drop that ass down

Drop that ass down

All I want you to do is just drop that ass down

Drop that ass down and look back at it

I finished my twerk session off with a cartwheel and landed in a full split

Everyone clapped. I stood up and took a bow

"That was fun" one of the dancing girls said

"Tell me about it" I was breathing so heavy

"You got moves bitch" another said playfully hitting me

I talked to them for a while before we all departed then I went back to Drew

"See, I told you it'll be fun" Drew said

"I am so gonna be on the news tonight"

"So what? It was worth it"

"Yeah, it really was"

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time

Drew and I stopped at a store to get some ice cream then we continued walking.

I spotted a water fountain and an idea popped into my mind

"Drew, I dare you to take your shirt off and take a swim in that fountain"

"You're a stone cold bitch Martins"

"Shut up and do it"

He took off his shirt and handed it to me. I stared at his abs in awe

He was so muscular

"Close your mouth honey, you're drooling" he teased

"I am not"

"Yes you are"

Okay, maybe I am

"Here goes nothing" he said

He ran to the fountain and dived in it. The man sitting on the fountain pavement looked so confused

We didn't even care about people looking at us, we were just having fun

Drew swam around in the water for a while before he came out with his clothes soaking wet

We both laughed

"I am so gonna get revenge on you" he told me

"Good luck with that"

I gave him back his shirt. When he put it on we walked again

This time around we passed a pizzeria.

"I dare you to go in that store and steal a box of pizza" Drew said

"And I dare you to steal two big bottles of coke"

"Deal"

We entered the restaurant and pretended like we were customers

I went to the counter and spoke to the lady

"Can I have ice cream please?"

"Sure"

She turned around to fill a cone. I used that opportunity to take a box of pizza and ran

"Hey!" Someone shouted

Drew was right behind me holding two bottles of coke

"I hope you can run" he told me

"I'm a cheerleader. I go through hours of hard conditioning. Of course I can"

Two security guards were right on our tails chasing us but we were too fast and soon enough we lost them

"That was close" I said as we entered my car

"Very"

I laughed again. I had so much fun

"That was..... "

"Amazing" he completed

"Yeah. Thanks for making me ditch"

"Thanks for ditching with me"

"I'm starving"

"Let's eat"
