All Chapters of Rejected By My Best Friend, Accepted By The Bad-Boy : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Opening Song: Wonder by Shawn Mendes ***   I stood on the Westminster Bridge with the will to jump. I was willing to end it all at that moment because I felt as if my social life was now over. Perhaps I was acting a whit dramatic, but the budding embarrassment from the replaying moment in my head made it quite challenging to think clearly. I couldn’t believe I had done something so impeccably stupid. I felt dumber than a box of rocks, but even they knew to stay quiet. So, I couldn’t even compare myself to lifeless objects. “Paris, get down from the bridge,” my friend, Shanae, instructed with boredom dripping from each syllable. She knew I was bluffing, but I couldn’t bring myself even to face her. “No, I’m going to jump. You can go; you don’t have to witness this,” I screamed dramatically for no apparent reason. I heard a light chuckle from her, but I made no move to turn around. “Get down, mate. You didn’t emb

I waited in anticipation at the diner like Colton instructed me to. He was already ten minutes late, and the cold breeze was becoming too much for me. With a frown, I decided to wait inside for him, since punishing myself seemed irrelevant.  I greeted Lukas, the owner, with a huge smile as I waltzed in. He had a big fatherly round belly in front of him that made him seem like a human pillow. He was always nice to me, and since he knew I volunteered at the senior citizen's home where his uncle was at, he would sometimes give me free brownies or muffins with whatever I ordered.  "Hello Lukas. How are you this evening?" I greeted once I was close enough.  "Oh I'm quite great, mate. About to close up in thirty minutes. Did you need anything?" I frowned slightly at

I gazed at him in complete awe, tears long forgotten at the back of my eyes.  I had my lips slightly parted, and my body was still stiff in his arms as he regarded me weirdly but in amusement. I had never seen him before, that's for sure. But I could see that he was well around my age.  "Are you okay Skates?" He spoke again, making me more nervous with just the very sound of his voice. He had a nice voice. A really nice voice.  "I-I um what?" I questioned as my mind cleared. I realised that I hadn't really noticed what he asked because I was too deep in my own awkward mess to realise what was coming from his lips. Oh God his lips.  He chuckled lightly as he helped me up to my feet again, but I al

"So are you going to tell me where we're going?" I asked Fabian, after getting sick of driving for twenty minutes with no words. The silence wasn't awkward, but the anticipation was real.  He smirked as he glanced at me quickly. "If I tell you, then how will this be fun for me?" "I want it to be fun for me too" I huffed in annoyance, crossing my arms over my chest stubbornly. He laughed this time, and I got to relish again in how beautiful his laugh sounded.  Wait what?  "Will you at least give me a clue?"  "Nope"  "A tiny tiny clue?"  

Turns out, I didn’t chicken out.  In fact, I made it all the way to the address that Chad gave me. However, I was stuck in my car for the last twenty minutes, contemplating whether or not I should go in there.  If Fabian wanted to be alone, who am I to invade his alone time right? But still, the tiny voice in my head was focused on the fact that I wanted to ensure that he was alright--that he would be okay, and then I'll leave him alone.  Oddly, I knew a part of my persistence was because I missed him. With Colton always hanging out with Anastasia, Shanae always busy with work and my other friends...Who am I kidding? I have no other friends other than my lab partner. Fabian gave me a rush the other day that I just couldn’t seem to shake, and I want
