Padgett POV
My heartbeat increase as I stand in front of the students, my eyes go around taking the faces of those whom I am going to share class with but the truth is, I wasn't interested in those hot boys, I heard those female screaming their lungs out for, something in me was curious to know the face of the boy, whose face is buried on the desk. Those piercing eyes of the female in the class are enough to tell me that, getting involved with any boy in this class, will be my doom"We have a new student, her name is Padgett Ryan, I hope you all treat her right." When the principal mentioned my name, his head went up all of a sudden, he stared at me. "Oh no! Do I have to be in the same class with him?" I scolded my ill-fated. His eyes didn't leave me, I don't know what that stare is about because it's unreadable. "Go on dear! You should get your seat." The principal urged me, and I made my way towards the seats I noticed it was available but I could notice that most girls would kill me, so I kept moving, I was about to pass him when he held my hand, causing the students to roar. "You should sit beside me." His sweet soft voice came up, I have missed that, every night, I could hear that voice in my sleep but here, I could hear it but no longer in my dreams but in reality. Everyone was shocked, they stared at him In shock, including his friends, if his eyes could kill, Cassie's eyes would have sent me to the grave. "This bitch! She just touches the tigress tail." Cassie murmured to herself. "She does not know what she is playing with, she is going to get burned." Rhodes's eyes keep throwing daggers on me with some fake smile paste on her face as I sit beside Cameron with my head buried in my bag acting like I was searching for something. I could see the side of his face, and my heart raced, for those three years of a world apart, I had stalked him like some fans stalk their celebrity crush, I have most of his pictures in my wardrobe but the truth is, those pictures of his, are nothing close to the sight I am watching in front of me, he is super hot, he is like a Greek god, hotter than those other boys in the class, that those girls were screaming out their lungs for. All of a sudden his hand blushes mine, causing my heart to race, I drop my bag subconsciously, he looks at me, then turns his gaze back to the instructor. "Sorry!" I said very fast, but he still didn't make any move nor say a word to me, so I just assumed, he didn't recognize me. That didn't stop me from stealing glances from him, I could hardly breathe, and when the bell rang, I felt I could breathe so I made my way out like other students, I noticed that he didn't attempt to leave the class. Cameron POV"Hey, man! What is it? You've been all cold since morning." "Am I?" I asked as I turned my gaze from her, back to my friends. "Anyways, I heard about a nice club newly open, wanna come along? Who knows you might find some bitches." Ryan teased me as we walked out of the class together. "Have I ever attempted to go look for those bitches with you? I'm not interested you should know, I like the ones I see, I don't want to get some deadly disease." "Gosh you're getting boring for no reason" Alex sighed as he moved ahead. "Hey babe!" Cassie called from the back and I turned slowly"Does she even know he's going to break up with her next week?" Sutton asked as they stared at us kissing, we came closer."Hey bye, bro" They waved at me, to catch my attention. "Make sure to use protection! You wouldn't wanna receive bad luck." I could hear Ryan's naughty words, as they left me and Cassie, we made our way to the restroom while kissing each other. As soon as the door closed behind us, I could hear some students whispering, the truth is, not my business what others do but that voice was something I think I couldn't resist, so I pulled Cassie, practically dragging her in that direction. "Where are we going?" Cassie asked. "Over there, come on." I pulled her hand, only for me to get the voice clearer. "Do you know me?" Newton asked, Padgett, she shook her head."It's probably because you are new, my name is Newton." he smiled, stretching his hand for a shake, Padgett smiled and took his hand"Mind going out with me? Just to know more about each other?" Newton asked. "She's not interested," I said from the back and they both looked up, it's me, if there was someone I hated the most in this world, was this man standing in front of me? "Cameron!" Cassie called, she didn't see my reason for intruding."Don't ever talk to her again, do you get that?" I snapped at Newton before pulling Padgett, I was practically dragging her out leaving my Cassie behind. "Stop pulling me." She lashed at me then pulled her hand from me, now we were right in the middle of the school compound, all eyes were on me and her."Hey Creamy, you shouldn't be stubborn" The look in her eyes was that of surprise, that is the one name, I have called her since we were kids."Did you recognize me?" She asked! "Are you crazy? Why wouldn't I recognize you and why the fuck are wearing these short things again?" "What?" Padgett muttered without waiting for a reply I pushed her into my car. "Where are we going?" "Home! Aren't you supposed to go home, when the bell rings for the end of classes?" "Are you angry? I thought you would be happy to see me but it turns out that, you aren't really happy to see me." "Happy to see you? Why didn't you tell me, you were coming? Why did you stop communicating to me? What the fuck happen to you?" So many questions in my head, I really wanted to avoid her but then she hugged me right in my car, I missed her, and as much as I wanted to stay away from her and regard her as nothing, I really couldn't, she is my best friend and a sister, the only sister, I could ever have. "I missed you." I smiled."Silly! When did you return? Where do you live? Why didn't you come home? How is Mother?" "She got a new job here, so we had to move here, I don't think you will recognize...""You are naughty, why shouldn't I recognize my best friend who replaced me." "Replace you?" "Of course, you are going to go out with that low life.""What? I wouldn't go out with him and you know that I don't go out with strangers.""Good then, don't listen to things like that next time, just walk away and you should always stick with me from now on." My words were filled with authorities, she is my baby sister, so I should take care of her and Chase every low-life idiot from her, I know I am a playboy but I wouldn't let her fall for a playboy, she is way too precious to me. 'Yes sir, but, do you think he was going to ask me out?" She grinned, leaning on the chair headrest. "Ask you out? Why are you smiling because of that?" I found myself asking"It's my first time...." I moved closer to her and ran my eyes around her face, even with the glasses she still looked overly beautiful, I wondered why she said it was her first time. My eyes strolled all over her face, her sexy and bright eyes, pointed nose, red small lips, everything about her was just perfect, she moved her eyes up to mine, right now, she was not on her glasses."Why would it be your first time?" "It's simple, they don't find me attractive." "Come off it, you hot and sexy even at that, you shouldn't listen to any guy who tries saying shits like that to you, just listen to me alone," I said while she stared at me with that innocent eyes of hers, now that the glasses are no longer there. "Don't look at another guy this way either, only me" I added. "You should know they are playboys, especially Newton." "I also heard you are a playboy?" "Whoa! So fast? Since when did you like gossip little sister?" "I didn't gossip, I just hear them talking senselessly about you, your friends...Gosh, is it true?" "Let's hang out at the bar tomorrow, we could talk about that...""But...""No, but, unless you are no longer my best friend, I will introduce you to my friends."Padgett POV. I let out a loud sound as soon as he finally dropped me, I wasn't expecting that we would act like we never parted ways, I closed my eyes, I didn't know if it was a good idea that we rekindle our friendship or just act like we don't know each other but truth is, the few minutes we spend together, I love it, I decided to have a little rest, after taking my bath, just when I was about to sleep, I saw my favorite book, I love to read stories about how bad boys turned good boys and the playboy becomes one girl's prince charming. I was about to close my eyes when the door of my room flew open. "Hey" I yelled dragging my duvet to cover myself, I wasn't wearing anything decent. "Will you stop covering yourself like I haven't seen everything before?' "Cam!" "What? I have, you should get dressed I want us to go somewhere." "Like now?" "Yes now, My friends are going out, so I thought of using the opportunity to introduce you to them." "That could wait till tomorrow and I hav
Padgett POV. "Cam! You should not try to force me, I don't want to...""Please! Remember you always say, I will do anything, just for you to be happy." "How does me dating someone make you happy?" "Of course, it will, every girl your age in school, has experienced it but I never said have sex with them, I will have your head on a plate if you try it." For the first time, in his words, I could find humor in it as we talked.“Alright I’ll try if you stop being a player," I said knowing he could never, agree to that, judging from what I heard about him, I could tell, that girls were part of his everyday life, so this could turn out to be my lucky day and then we could forget all about the conversation. “Deal," He said making me jump out of my seat shocked, I stared at him all confused, I couldn't possibly believe what I was hearing. "What did you just say?" "I said deal, which means you go on a date with Sutton and I promise the next relationship I’ll try to make it last I’ll do anyt
Padgett POVCassie! Rhonda! Cathy! I couldn't get those names out of my head throughout the whole driver, I could see that Cameron, was trying his very best to make small talk with me, he kept asking me how I felt about Sutton but I was more worried that he was so smitten by a girl he met a few hours ago and that girl is no other person than Cathy. Maybe he is just excited I mean Cameron Is a player there is no way he is going to stick with her for more than two weeks, all playboys are always excited when they first meet a new girl, and besides he has Cathy as his newest girlfriend which means Rhonda, is way out of the picture and if Cassie is Rhonda friend, she has no chance whatsoever with him"What do you think about Sutton?" He asked as the car came to a halt at his house, I looked at him, I don't like Sutton more than just a friend, he is a nice person but the truth is, if I wasn't in love with Cameron, I would had prefer Alex, just maybe, because of those stupid love story I have
Padgett POV. For some reason, I don't want to be seen with Cameron on school premises, so many eyes were on me, yesterday when he pulled me through the crowd of those numerous girls, and appearing at the club with him, the previous night was frustrating. As I walked through the hallway, I wished Cameron would forget about Cathy, Rhonda, and everything that had to do with them, who knows maybe he and Cathy would work out but I had a really bad feeling about Rhonda, she kind of looked like those girls that will part ways with her friends all because of a boy. I sneak past the crowd unnoticed and make my way to my locker to grab my books I need them then I have to go to the lab to bury my head in my books before the bell rings. I opened up my locker to see a note carefully placed inside possibly from the little hole underneath it. I didn't possess any secret admirer, even if I will have one in the future, not so fast, just the second day in school, so I was really curious as to who wou
Padgett POVHis eyes didn't leave me, waiting for an answer, I don't know what to say but at this point, I need to lie my way out. "You don't know, who I am talking about, so if you don't mind, you should excuse me." I tried to walk away from him but he held my hand. "Let go of me." "I could help you, I know you are too shy to admit and I saw the way you looked at him at the bar last night when he kissed that girl, I know you are in love with him, it's only someone jealous or in love with her best friend that could react the way you react when you see your man with another girl...""I am not in love with him...''"Hey slow down, you are too defensive but you have nothing to worry about, your secret could be saved with me if only you agree to be my girlfriend." "What?" He was too straightforward. 'I will never be your girlfriend, I am not going to fall for your cheap blackmail." "I know you are in love with him, within, forty-eight hours, I will get points that show that you are in
Padgett's Pov I’m so dead right now Cameron hardly gets mad at me but when he does he’s a force to reckon with, if there is one thing, I couldn't bear, is the fact that he is mad at me, I felt my world crumbled when I heard those words from him. "Can't you talk, what do you have to say?" "I am sorry, I don't..." I tried taking his hand but he pulled away from my grip, my tears threatened to drop, and I felt doom."Um! Hey, Cam..." I said as he stared at me still furious tightening his fists."Explain to me why you didn't tell me Cassie was assaulting you," he said as I gulped down my saliva and then gathered myself, I realized that my secret was still safe. "Cassie!" "Yes, Cassie the bitch who dared to assault you.""Cam..." I seethed."What creamy, I’ve told you many times to tell me when someone is bullying you but no you prefer to keep it to yourself and get hurt in the process, I wouldn't know what to do just so you don’t get hurt and how will I protect you, if you don't tell
Padgett's POV"Everyone, listen up, Padgett Ryan, is my best friend and my sister, if anyone hurts her, they will have me to battle with and if you dare cross her part, you will get consumed by my rage, I know you all don't want that, not even those that call themselves my girlfriend or fling will go unpunished." It was crazy as they all stared at me, as he pulled me into a hug in front of this crowd, I could hear some admiring me, wishing to be me while others cursed at me. I could barely eat during lunch, as usual, the guys would talk about their basketball game and Newton kept glancing at me silently I understood that he was just looking out for points to be able to get me into becoming his girlfriend, he used the word fake but I am so afraid that, he had an interior motivate that is the reason, he asked for that, there are other girls, which means, he could pick from them while does it have to be me. Then my thoughts drove back to Cassie, her words were tearing me apart, those word
Padgett's POV"Go on and tell me, what is it?' He asked when I didn't say a word, he caressed my hand."Nothing just tell me, what you wanted to say?" "Okay, if you say so remember when we made that deal that I’ll make my relationship work and you’ll go out with someone, well who better than Cathy could fill that space, she’s beautiful, sexy, she’s amazing and for once I think I like a girl." He said smiling while I broke apart inside"So she is having a house party by the weekend, and since I broke up with Cassie, I was thinking of asking her out properly, and who better to help me than you right? Please Creamy, I really like Cathy, you have to help me out on this one I’m doing this because I want to make the relationship work and so you’ll have a chance at love, creamy, so would you help me out please?" He said as I felt my eyes watery"Cameron," I said tiredly"Can you stop calling me Cameron, I prefer it when you call me Cam, it sounds romantic." He said, I pressed my lips togethe
