Babysitting The Bad Boy Chapter Thirty Five - "Don't give up on him"
Just as Zeke disappears down the stairwell, I notice the back of his head. When did he arrive?"I have to leave. It was a pleasure speaking with you, "Mason, I say. We had run into each other and began chatting. I'd rather not waste my time talking to him because I still feel awkward around him, even if he doesn't.I decided that hating him was pointless because I no longer felt the same way about him. I'm too preoccupied with Zeke. The thought of him with anyone else doesn't bother me, but what he did still irritates me. Even if I haven't forgiven him completely, life is too short to hate people."All right," he says, looking down at his feet. "I'll be around then."I say goodbye and head downstairs, hoping to find Zeke. I've given it some thought, and I think I'll take Zoey's advice and just tell him how I feel. What could possibly go wrong?"Marnie!" Zoey emerges from a crowd and runs over to me, knocking someone's drink out of their hand in the process. "I just saw Zeke," she me

One month laterMy hand runs along the silk material of my bridesmaids' gown, allowing the baby pink bottom half of the gown to slip through my fingers. I exhaled a sigh. Not a sad sigh, but a moving I'm on to a new chapter in my life, sigh.So, it's a new chapter in my mind. My mother and Charlie are getting married today. We'll be moving in with Charlie after they return from their honeymoon in Scotland, which my mother has always wanted to visit.The good news is that Charlie lives about twenty minutes away, which means I'll be twenty minutes away from Zeke.Zeke.The person with whom I haven't spoken since the night of the party.I believe it is for the best. I've managed to get back on track with my schoolwork, go out less, and reconnect with old chess club friends, and I haven't cried once about him. It hurt so much, but I had to force myself to forget about him and stop thinking about what-ifs. What if Zeke didn't act like that, that night because I told him how I felt? What if

I watch my lovely mother and my granddad enter the church from the front, standing next to my aunt, Joey, and Charlie's best friend.She walks with a stunning white dress trailing behind her, gazing excitedly at Charlie. The thought of how content she is and will be with Charlie in her life makes my heart smile. I eagerly await the day when I meet my true love at the end of the aisle.My chest constricts as soon as my eyes land on Zeke. Now that I'm evicting him from my life, will it ever be this painful to look at him? I'm good at forgetting people, as you may know, but not with him.

Brandon says, "I hear it's your birthday," revealing all of his arm tattoos thanks to today's sleeveless shirt."That's accurate. In fact, today marks the day I was born, which was eighteen years ago. Oh my god! I'm 18 years old. The news finally clicks. My age, oh my."Are you addressing yourself or me?" His bright silver ear piercings become visible as he tilts his head. Do all those tattoos and piercings hurt? They certainly hurt. Brandon, perhaps not, though. He resembles a mutant who is incapable of feeling pain. Should I punch him, I wonder.What did that serve? I hit him, and he rubs his arm.I began laughing out loud. Lord, why am I acting this way?"I really liked you when you were moody and depressed over Zeke.""I never felt depressed or moody over Zeke!"You shouldn't assume something is true just because you say it in strange, intelligent words.Is he referencing the word "nor"?The person behind me catches Brandon's attention.

"Ah, crap!"I look at the expired milk carton in disgust, then at the floating white lumps that are now in my tea.Great, now there's no milk for my tea or cereal.Shit.Cereal is the thing I eat most. I mean, it's perfect. It takes two minutes to make, and it's delicious. How can you not love cereal?I take the milk carton over to the small trash can sitting in the corner of our small kitchen, ignoring the sour smell, I drop it in. I should pour it out in the sink or something, because it'll probably start to smell in here.Are you supposed to do that?Oh well, I guess I'll just ask my mom when she gets home. I really have no idea how I'm supposed to cope with living on my own. I am the most unsure and indecisive person ever. I'm sure of that.Hey, look! I'm sure of something!I snap out of my thoughts and go back over to my mug of rotten tea. I take the mug and pour the contents down the sink, then place the mug in the dishwasher.I then stride back into the living room and grab my

"Marnie! Marnie!" The crazy girl comes running down the school corridor towards me.The crazy girl happens to be my best friend, Zoey. Today she is wearing her usual zipped jeans and band t-shirt. Her hair has a streak of pink and blue on either side of her blonde hair.We have similar styles – although I prefer to wear normal jeans and not her ripped bold jeans and I don't put random colours into my hair either. I prefer to blend in."Guess what! Guess what!" She shouts when she approaches me."Hmm...let me guess. Harry Styles shaved the rest of his hair?"She gives me a horrified look. "God, I hope not! Guess again!""Just tell me," I say monotonously."Mason broke up with Aubrey!" She squeals.Let me catch you up. Mason Conway is the schools most popular jock, and his girlfriend – ex girlfriend now – is the prettiest, and bitchiest girl in school. They're the perfect pairing."Wow," I say with a sarcastic smile."Everyone's talking about it. Apparently he caught her cheating with L
Babysitting The Bad Boy Chapter Three - Sandy Satan
It was the end of the next day and I was stood at my locker, getting books out so I could do some studying at home tonight. I don't have any tests or anything coming up; I just like to be ahead of things.Maybe I am a nerd."Hey, Satan."Ugh.I close my locker and turn around to face him."What do you want," I say."Oh, Satan. Seems like you're getting moodier and moodier. Did you get enough sleep last night? Is your flow getting heavier?"I narrow my eyes at him. "If all you wanted to do was bug me then I'm leaving." I take a step away from him but before I can get any further, he grabs my arm and spins me back around to face him."Actually, what I wanted was to ask if I could copy your chemistry notes? I ditched class last time but I don't wanna fall behind so I need notes.""Since when do you care about keeping up with work?"This doesn't sound like him."Since now. Can I have them?""No." I try to walk away again but he just holds my arm and this time doesn't let go."Why not? I w

"Nice ass."I stand up straight and glare at the asshole. "Stop staring at my ass and help me.""Nah, I would much rather stare at your ass," Zeke smirks.I get down on my hands and knees and shovell up more sand into the trash bag."Oh, so you like it doggy style," he winks.Someone punch him for me. With a brick."If you're not going to help me then go away," I say while brushing more sand onto the shovel."Trust me, I would rather be stuffing my face with hairy mac and cheese than being here with you. But unfortunately, I can't leave until this is all tidied up. So chop chop, nerd.""It'd be cleaned up faster if you helped," I yell as I stand back up, my leg cramping."I already told you; no.""Then how about you just be quiet and stop annoying me?""I will think about it, Princess."Princess.After a couple of minutes of silence and Zeke kicking at the sand on the ground – making it harder for me to sweep up – he finally speaks again."You want anything from the vending machine?"

I open the front door to a squealing Zoey, who rushes in, grabs my arm, and drags me upstairs and into my bedroom."Would you mind telling me what's going on right now?" As I collapse onto my bed, I inquire. Zoey freaked out and called me half an hour ago, saying she needed to talk to me about something, so I told her to come over. And now she's closing the door and inspecting the outside of my windows for dramatic effect.Finally, she sits beside me on my bed and takes a deep breath. "Last night, Cole and I had sex."My pupils dilate. "Really? You finally succumbed to him.""I didn't give in to him; I wanted to.""... How did it go?" I inquire, surprised that I'm even interested in learning about this topic."Surprisingly effective. Cole is something "With a laugh, she says. "He knew I wasn't a virgin, but he asked me a hundred times if I was okay and sure.""Aww, that's lovely." Cole is perfect boyfriend material, which is surprising given that he has never been in a real relationsh

Zeke's warm hand in mine warms my entire body when the chilly air hits my skin like ice. I can see his unconcerned face when I look up at him while we stroll across the city.As he realizes he's just caught me watching, his head twists and he smiles. "You could just tell me that I'm attractive,"I shrug and say, "You're hot.He grins. Likewise, Ms. Jones.Unfortunately, I am still at the stage where the little things, like his calling me hot, make me blush.He squeals, "Awww," mocking me. Your blush is very sweet.I roll my eyes, yank my hand away from his, and huddle myself up by crossing my arms over my chest.Ezekiel halts his progress and scowls. "Baby, that was harsh."What was it?"removing your hand. I feel hurt "I'm not sure if he's joking when he puts his hand to his chest.Sorry, little one.He furrows his brow. If you do, I might be willing to pardon you.I interrupted him and glared at him, "Don't say blowjob.I was going to say if you embrace me," he chuckles.I bite my li
Babysitting The Bad Boy Chapter Thirty Two- Explanation
As we enter the building for school, Zoey exclaims, "Thank Jesus, it's Friday."Similar," I respond with a chuckle. A walking meme, she is. Particularly today, when her hair is up in a messy bun, her face is unmade up, and she appears to be wearing pajamas.She murmurs, "See you in math," as she passes by my locker as I stop at mine.I unlock my locker with the code and pull my arithmetic book out. Then I realize that my nicely arranged row of books has something orange resting on top of it. A package of Reese's peanut butter cups is one of my all-time favorites, and I immediately recognize it as such.How on earth did something get inside of this? I didn't place it there because, if it had been in my hands, it would never have survived long enough to go to my locker.I pick it up confused to discover that the front has text scrawled in black marker.I'm sorry, baby.The short sentences written make my heart beat faster. Sorry. He did not mean to imply that he was sorry.He also refer

"Get the hell away from her."Zeke is standing there with his fists clenched and his death glare fixed on Jordan. Jordan and I both turn to face him.Jordan grinned, "See who chose to show up," but didn't move.Jordan is pushed back by Zeke as he approaches us and says, "I said stay away from her."Jordan falters and his smirk disappears. He moves in his direction and prepares to hit him, but Zeke grabs him by the collar and throws him against the wall.You had better avoid her like the plague. You know, I can still go to the police.What?Zeke is easily pushed back by Jordan. You shouldn't be saying that, because I can still follow along, in my opinion. I don't think it's appropriate for you to say things like that because I still stand by what I said."Don't even consider it."Keep your lips quiet and don't mess with me, I say. After giving me one more glance, Jordan turns to leave, bumping Zeke on the shoulder as he goes.Ezekiel carefully circles around and gives me a scorching st

Did you learn about the altercation?They were all suspended.Zeke apparently has a hospital stay."Someone got arrested," I heard.I think I'm going to get sick. I've been hearing things like this all day at school.Evidently involved in a significant altercation, Zeke, Isaac, Jordan, and a few of his pals were all suspended.I'm curious as to why as well as the well-being of Zeke and Isaac. In a hospital, he is. One of the several rumors that have circulated during the last few hours is that. But, the majority of the girls in this room also want to know if he's okay.his father Oh my God, I sincerely hope his father doesn't learn about this.I spot a recognizable individual with tattoos running up his arms as he stands at his locker. "Is it real? " I put to Brandon. "The battle?"Brandon says with a small smile, "Sure is."You weren't a part of it?""No. I was occupied eating.Is Zeke all right?Why don't you ask him, he shrugs.We're not really buddies anymore, she said.Brandon lau
