A Dare To Kiss The Bad Boy novel Chapter 2

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to forget what just happened, the way Romeo Sparks saved and how I acted like a typical dummy.

I did the only thing left for me to do. I ran outside to look for joey.

The minute I got outside, I spotted Joey among the crowd dancing heartily with Jake. Seems like everything went well. I gripped her and pulled her outside, not minding the stares we were receiving from some people.

****

Things moved very fast, Saturday gone, Sunday gone and here comes Monday. For the first time in my life I was thinking of skipping school to avoid seeking Romeo.

Oh Romeo!

Even the thought of his name made my heart race.

What will I tell him?

Will I thank him?

Many thoughts ran through my mind as I got dressed.

He probably won't recognize me. I don't think I have any class with him, all I have to do is avoid getting in his way.

It was in English class that I finally realized my prayer didn't get answered anyway. You know that feeling you get when you are feeling someone is boring holes into your back with their stares and you have no idea who they are. Well, that's exactly how I'm feeling right now. I only thought of someone.

Romeo Sparks!

I'm too scared to turn around to confirm my suspicion. What if he is really here

"C'mon he can't be here, you've never seen him attend this class* my inner mind chimed in."

I lifted my shoulder in a half shrug, getting the thought out of my mind.

I continued staring at Mr Banks as he went on talking, without picking out anything from what he was babbling. A girl sneezes causing the whole class to look in her direction. I quickly whipped my head around to confirm my theory. When I finally saw those eyes that were piercing through my back,I wasn't surprised who they belonged to.

Romeo Sparks, of course.

His bright emerald eyes pierced into mine as if he could see through me. His gaze held a mixture of frustration, confusion and anger. I couldn't decipher which it was really.

I freaked out and turned to the front instantly.

What is he doing here?

I have never seen him in class. It later dawned on me that he has been skipping class. I tried not to think that he's in here today because of me.

When I tried to stare back to see if Romeo was still looking at me, I was met with Mr Banks' old ugly eyes instead. He looked keenly between Romeo and I demanding for some explanation but neither of us talked.

"Quit staring at each other you horny teenagers and focus in class otherwise you'll both get detention"Mr Bank's waggy voice vibrated through the class room.

Heat flushed in my cheeks as students turned to look between Romeo and I, surprised by what just happened.

Why the hell would the hottest guy in school spare a nerd like me a glance?

Did I just call Romeo the hottest guy? I rolled my eyes.

"He isn't really that hot."I muttered under my breath, lying to myself.

I tried my best to shut him out of my mind and pretend like he's not in the same classroom as I was. I can't afford to break my perfect record of zero detentions.

With him sitting two seats away from mine, it's hard to ignore the little jargons he was saying mostly about me.

"Black sucks on you!" He said slowly but I heard him.

I was putting on a black loose polo shirt and boyfriend jeans.

I stared back and shot him a death glare.

"Keep your eyes off me cunt!" He spatted.

"I don't want any mischief today and since you two can't handle yourselves you can kindly walk yourself to detention."Mr Bank's voice resounded in my head.

"I was..."I tried to explain.

"No!" He interrupted me.

"Mr Banks, he...." I tried again.

"I said no!"

A line appeared between my brows."I can expl ......"

"Now GET OUT BOTH OF YOU or one more word I'll extend your detention" He raised his voice, already infuriated.

"Yelling is not for old pricks like you, Mr Banks."Romeo had to open his mouth to just add more problems.

The whole class erupted in laughter.

"Lunchtime and after school, detention tomorrow also, both of you."Mr Banks rambled, clearly embarrassed by what that jerk said.

"But Sir, I......" I tried to explain.

I tried to explain that I'm not part of this, Romeo caused this alone and should get punished alone.

"Lunchtime and after school detention for the whole week both of you" Mr Banks interrupted me once again.

He's clearly having a bad day and I was the one he decided to take it out on. I realized soon, he'll only worsen it the more I talk.

Nonchalantly, Romeo picked up his book and started heading for the door. I let out a couple of groans before walking behind him.

The detention room was empty apart from the teacher who took our names down. As soon as we were done with that, I took the farthest seat I could find away from Romeo. I actually plan on ignoring him for the rest of the detention.

I took out my phone to tell Joey about my detention and tell her to eat lunch alone but as she replied, my phone was seized. I couldn't even get to read her response.

I groaned, trying really hard not to cry. This is the first time I'll ever be in detention. Is this what it feels like to get into trouble? Romeo sat down peacefully, obviously he has gotten used to it.

"I'm going out for lunch, you better not talk other than sit there" the teacher in charge of detention said.

As soon as she walked out, the silence became more awkward and the room suddenly became uncomfortable.
