Chapter 15 - School Project
Last Updated:
2021-07-25 18:46:16I arrived at Derris' estate with my heart literally in my throat. After being let in by the butler, I slowly made my way to his room. With a pounding heart, I gulped and knocked on the door. No answer.
I knocked even louder but still, no answer. After knocking for the fifth time with no affirmation to come in, I decided to go ahead and open the door. I did and popped my head in to find no one in the room.
Great. Now I feel like an idiot for knocking on the door to an empty room.
I moved back and closed the door, only to find Derris standing right behind me.
"Ahh!" I yelped, jumping back in fright, hitting my elbow against the door pretty hard. "Geez, you scared me."
The expression on his face told me he could care less about me so I didn't bother telling him about my elbow.
"You wanted to see me?" I said when the silence got too intense.
"Yeah, the last thing I want right now is to see you but we do have to work on our project so unfo

The Bad Boy Hates Me Chapter 16 - A Date!
I'd never been more surprised by anything else in my entire life than when Max asked me out and that's saying a lot considering all that's happened with Derris in the last few days.Looking back at Max, I tried to look for signs that suggested foul play. Maybe it was a joke or a prank because there was no way that Max Crest, international superstar was actually asking me out, right?"So what do you say?" Max pushed for an answer."Wait, you're not joking?" I levelled a stare at him."No. Why would I be?""Um, you're actually serious about going on a date with me?" I asked again."Yes. So is that a yes?" he flashed me a toothy smile."Uh, I guess so?" I wasn't too sure."So yes then?""Yes?" I replied, still a bit confused at what was going on."Great. That's nice to hear. What time do I pick you up?""Uh four, I guess.""Four. I'll see you then. Do you have my number?""No. I could give

Despite all my earlier fears and reservations, my date with Max had been progressing smoothly and might have stayed that way but then he showed up. And by he, yes I do mean the one and only Derris Fox."Mind if I sit?" he asked, already claiming the seat beside me. As he did, I could see a tall blonde girl take the only available seat at the table beside Max.What exactly was going on? I wanted to ask.Max beat me to it, leaning in until his face was in Derris' face."Derris, what exactly are you doing here?" he demanded through gritted teeth."Whatever are you talking about, dear friend?" he smiled back innocently."Cut the bull, Derris. It's not funny. I'm here on a date with Allison so why exactly are you here?" Max levelled a stare at him."Well what a coincidence then. I'm also here on a date. Max, Allison, meet my date, Clarissa," the blonde girl waved and smiled sweetly at Max and I.Under the table, I clenched my fist r

After cleaning up in the bathroom, I set on the long trek to Nellie's home. Afterall, it wasn't like I could walk in there after all that had happened and all that I'd said and asked for a ride.I'm not sure my heart would even be able to handle that. It was still processing the shock from literally telling two of the most popular musicians of this time to stay away from me.I would never know where the bravery came but it was never going to repeat itself so it was probably best to stay as far away from them as possible.On stepping out of the restaurant, I instantly shivered as a sudden blast of air hit me right in the face. I hadn't realized it would be this cold or I would have brought my jacket and as my shoulder and arms were bare, they were subject to the chilly air.Deciding to fight through it, I crossed my arms and continued walking. It was a beautiful starry night so it wasn't hard for me to see my way plus there were street lights.I'd o

Hours after the disastrous test and locker prank, my locker had been cleaned and aired out by maintenance and I was well over this day. The only thing I wanted was for school to be over so I could get home and settle down with a tub of Rocky Road.On my way to my last class for the day, I was accosted by none other than Derris Fox AKA the number one suspect for the locker prank."Hey you," he fell in step beside me. I threw a glance at him to find him grinning at me which wasn't weird on its one but enough to make me suspicious. He was being way too nice."Hey," I mumbled in reply. His grin disappeared and he stepped forward, effectively blocking my path. "What's wrong?" he asked, looking positively concerned.I heaved a sigh as I gazed into his eyes, looking for any sign that he was hiding something. I didn't see anything other than pure concern. Then again, I'd never been able to read him so I didn't know what to believe."It's nothin

I was still in shock up until the time Derris pulled up in front of Nellie's house to pick me up for our “meeting”, “date”... It was a bit unclear. But the fact that he showed up at all was mind boggling and left me confused. Stepping out dressed in a baggy off shoulder top and sweatpants, I couldn't help but feel a little frumpy as opposed to Derris. Despite being dressed in an equally casual outfit, he still managed to make the plain tee-shirt and ripped jeans look exquisite on his Adonis like body. Closing the door soundly behind me, I awkwardly made my way down the stairs towards Derris who was standing by the hood of his car. "H-hey," I gave a nervous wave. "Hey. You look...great," his eyes slid down the length of my body in a way that didn't make me uncomfortable. The look in his eyes actually made me feel special but I was a bit suspicious. Why was he handing out compliments all of a sudden, to me of all people? Compared to him, I looke

Subconsciously, I bit my lip in anticipation. I didn't know the reason for my action. Maybe it was because I remembered Derris earlier implying that this made him want to kiss me or maybe it was for another reason entirely. Whichever it was, I found myself biting my lip again.At that point, it seemed like Derris' last bit of control snapped. He cupped my cheeks and leaned in to close the distance between us, taking me completely by surprise. His lips had just brushed mine when a shrill voice called out, "Allison, are you out there?!"And just like that, it was all over. Derris pulled away faster than I could have ever imagined possible, leaving me completely shell shocked and with a yearning to have his lips on mine again.However, I couldn't dwell on that for long. Nellie had already walked down the stairs and was now giving Derris a very dirty look. Was it just me or did Derris' lips look a lot more enticing than before?Pushing all thoughts of my just

Shortly after, Derris pulled up in front of a small brown and white building with elegant lights and drawings of colorful ice cream flavors on the transparent windows. Simply standing before it made me hungry for ice cream and I found myself salivating already. "Wanna go in?" Derris walked up to me. "Definitely!" I bobbed my head excitedly. "Let's go in then," he slipped his hand in mine and together, we walked into the parlor. On stepping in, I could barely keep myself from drooling. The smell alone made me feel like I'd died and gone to ice cream heaven. Still in my fantasy, Derris pulled me towards the counter where he asked me to choose the flavor I wanted. I stared at everything available and found that I couldn't choose. They all looked so good. Probably sensing my inner battle, Derris chuckled beside me and gave his order to the receptionist. "We'll take two servings of one of everything along with a lot of chocolate syrup and r

"So I guess I'll have what they're having," Max said to the waiter who had come to take his order. The waiter nodded and left and just like that, the three of us were all alone again. Ever since Max appeared, I'd taken to focusing solely on my ice cream and pretending as though I didn't realize that I was actually sitting at a table with two of the biggest pop sensations as of now. Most girls would cherish this moment and would most likely alternate between flirting with Max and Derris but I chose to ignore them instead like the dumbass I was. "So Allison, how was the test today? I never got to see you after to talk about it." That was Max speaking. Slowly I looked up from my bowl of ice cream, snuck a look at Derris from the corner of my eye before eventually answering Max's question. "It was going well until Mrs. Elena called me out for trying to cheat and failed me." "Wait, that was you? The one she found with the answers?" he exclaimed, hi

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" I inquired, looking at his stitched-up wound with concern. "I'm sure. You heard the medic. It wasn't really serious. The bullet just grazed me. I'll be fine," he assured me but it did nothing to abate my worry. "But still... You could have been seriously injured. Why did you have to rush in like that?" "It was all worth it to make sure you didn't leave here in a body bag. I'd do anything to protect you," he stated, staring seriously at me. "How about you try not to die while you're at it?" He chuckled. "I'll do my best." I nodded to show that I was satisfied and continued to look at his wound. "Allison?" he called. I looked up from the wound. "Yes?" "About what Aria said—" he started. I raised my hand to stop him. "I don't want to hear it. Be it the truth or not," I told him. "I still want you to know. I've kept it to myself for so long but I didn't know how I w
The Bad Boy Hates Me Chapter 88 - The Party Crasher
I had several hours before my flight to England which was taking off early tomorrow morning. Nellie being Nellie, she'd organized a get-together for all of us. A farewell party for me.At the party, she'd decided to embarrass me by unexpectedly showing up with an album containing pictures from my childhood that had somehow ended up at her place.Baby photos, bath photos, birthday photos, embarrassing pictures; it was there and Nellie was taking great delight in my embarrassment."I hate you!" I whispered to her while Max and Derris were laughing over a picture taken of me trying to steal a piece of my birthday cake before the birthday and ending it with it all over."Aww! I love you too, boo," she replied, blowing a kiss at me. I rolled my eyes at her before attempting to snatch the album from them."Hey! What gives?" Max whined. "I think that's enough pictures for one day, don't you think? Besides, aren't you guys supposed to be sad that I'm leavi
The Bad Boy Hates Me Chapter 87 - Baby Steps
Neither Derris nor I spoke about the situation with his mom again. Things were a little tense because of it so ignoring it was probably for the best. The next day, Derris got discharged from the hospital so he could finally go home which was enough cause for celebration. But I was also reminded of the fact that that meant I would be leaving soon. I had told my dad to book another flight, guaranteeing him that nothing was going to stop us from leaving this time. The flight was booked to go in three days. Three days to say goodbye to everything and everyone I'd ever known and loved. It was a little depressing but I tried my best not to focus on my nearing departure and just live in the moment and at the moment, I was happy that Derris was doing okay and out of the hospital. After he was released to us, we — consisting of Max, Caleb, Jeremy, Nellie, Derris and I — piled into Max's car and drove to Derris' house. The atmosphere was filled with excitement
The Bad Boy Hates Me Chapter 86 - Not Quite Easy
Derris made a quick recovery afterwards. It was probably because of his phobia for hospitals after his experience when he was younger but either way, I was happy about that. But despite all my pleas, he'd still refused to see his mom and even when she tried to speak to him, he'd either ignore her or coldly tell her to leave because she wasn't wanted. It was clear he'd made us his mind and that was what worried me. I knew that if he continued to hold on to his resentment for his parents, it would only come back to harm him later on. In a way, it already had. I just had to make him see that. A day to his discharge, I was with him in his ward, reading a book to him like he'd asked me to. When I looked up from the book though, he wasn't looking at me like he always did. Instead, he was staring into space thoughtfully. I dropped the book on my lap and tapped him. "Hey. What are you thinking about?" "Everything and nothing, I guess. Why'd you stop?"
The Bad Boy Hates Me Chapter 85 - Kind of a Miracle
Long story short, I missed my flight the next day. It was a little hard to explain why I couldn't leave town just yet to my dad but being the caring person he was, he understood. Since the family who bought our house didn't have plans to move in just yet, we didn't have to move out yet so our accommodation was settled, at least for now. The next few days after Derris' accident though, were anything but. As it turned out, his injuries were a lot severe and he had to be rushed into surgery two times while still being in a coma. Every moment he spent in surgery was a moment I spent wondering if he would come out alive. And when he did, I was torn between being happy that he made it out and devastated that he was still in a coma. But after seeing his car and the accident scene, it really was a wonder he hadn't died on the spot. Supposedly, Derris had crashed into a parked car from behind and then had his car run into by another car. The police rep
The Bad Boy Hates Me Chapter 84 - A Brush with Death
Things progressed smoothly for a while. My dad got a few offers for the house and eventually decided on one. With the down payment, we were able to find a little flat abroad which we paid for upfront.The plan was to move to England about a month before I was to resume at Sunnyside which would give us the time to settle in at our new place.To get rid of the stuff we couldn't bring with us, my dad insisted we had a yard sale which turned out to be a little harder than I thought.We kept only the things that were important to us and our family as a whole and put the more trivial things on sale but even then, seeing other kids touch my little sister's old dolls, the twin's colouring sets and other things like that...It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.But after the yard sale ended, it felt as though a load had been lifted off my shoulders and I could finally breathe. We'd kept those items around for so long and now that they were g
The Bad Boy Hates Me Chapter 83 - Feels Right...
After my conversation with my dad, I got back to Mr Raymond as soon as possible and told him that I had accepted his offer. He was ecstatic, to say the least. He told me to inform him whenever I planned to come to England so my accommodation could be made available.I did, however, have a few months before the dance academy came back into session.My dad and I planned to move to England though as soon as the house sold so we were working towards that.The thought of moving filled me with fear and excitement. I would be leaving Nellie and the life I had known for years to an entirely different environment. Then again, after the year I had had, the prospect of moving was pretty exciting.It was a mix of emotions. Nellie had been pretty sad when I told her my plans."You know I'm always going to have your back no matter what. I'm so happy for you— and also sad. I'm going to miss you, Allison," she sniffled. I rolled my eyes at her dramatics.
The Bad Boy Hates Me Chapter 82 - A Fresh Start
Later that night, I was in my room, browsing through my computer for information about Sunnyside. Turns out it was a pretty big establishment and a highly respected one at that.I had no idea how I never knew about them but the more stuff I learnt about, the more my desire to attend the school was piqued.There was just one problem. The school was far away in England and would require me to stay there. Was I ready to uproot my life and that of my dad's? Would my dad even agree to it?I sighed as I turned off my laptop and walked over to my bed, sighing heavily as I flopped on the bed.I still hadn't told my dad about the leaked video and now there was this. The offer was literally godsent but what would my dad think of it?At that moment, there was a knock at my door before it was opened and my dad popped his head in. I sat upright and smiled as my dad walked in, bearing a tray."Hey Dad," I mumbled."Hey, sweetheart. Just thoug
The Bad Boy Hates Me Chapter 81 - Final Round
The next few days after my return to school were tumultuous, to say the least. After what Derris did to the guy who assaulted me, no one approached me directly again.Instead, their attacks were more discreet. I got messages instead. Notes, private anonymous messages from people telling me all the nasty things that they couldn't say to my face for fear of upsetting Derris.Every day, I walked into school, looking at the faces around me, wondering who sent the last messages.Nellie told me to just ignore it and not read them but sometimes I just couldn't help it and I got hurt.Some were even accompanied by pictures from the clip and lewd messages. The video had been taken down but pictures couldn't exactly be erased.I tried to ignore it and not let all the whispers, murmurs and messages get to me like Nellie advised but it was easier said than done.I felt trapped at school like my every move was being watched and at home too. I knew that s
