Bad Boy Attraction by Jennifer Trevino (short story to read .txt) 📕

She went back to her desk and picked up her school bag, without glancing at the delinquent she left in a hurry. Her feet carrying her to a place where it was secluded from everyone else.

~♥~

 What was this emotion? John wondered as he watched the timid girl walk away, her school bag in hand. She was unlike any other girl he had ever met, she didn’t fight back or touched him with intimacy, rather than feeling enraged over her fearful expression he only seemed to become elated.

Was he one of those Sadists or was he just out of his mind? The question was irritating him, even though he held the answer. He was infatuated because of her innocent beauty that seemed to pull him in, how come he never noticed her before?

“What’s with that expression?” He glanced at his friend Bruce, who was standing in front of his desk with a raised dark eyebrow.

“Nothing,” John shrugged as he stood up and began to walk out of the empty class, everyone had already left to receive lunch. Bruce followed behind, pushing back his thick glasses back over his nose, “It doesn’t seem like nothing.”

“Do you know who Natalie Parker is?” John asked as they walked through the corridor, his long hair swaying back and forth.

“Pfft,” Bruce chuckled, and John furrowed his eyebrows in anger. “What’s so funny?” John demanded with a deep frown set on his handsome face, he grabbed Bruce’s collar and raised him off the floor with ease.

“Calm down John, it’s just that I’m surprised that you don’t know who the school beauty is,” Bruce explained, the smile on his face faltering as he saw the glare directed at him. “We have been in this school for two years and you barely got interested in Natalie?”

John set him down and leaned away with a puzzled look, he hadn’t known Natalie was that popular. He had just assumed she was new or from another school, it was odd for a guy like him not to notice a girl like her.

“That’s weird I usually go for girls like her, how come I never noticed her before?” She was beautiful but that was it, honestly he didn’t know why he was barely interested in her.

“That’s what I am asking,” Bruce huffed out in frustration; he crossed his arms over his chest and thought for a moment. “But even if you like her, there is no way you can get her to like you,” he stated with so much certainty that this made John more furious.

“Why?” He implored as he raked a hand through his dark hair, “Don’t tell me she has a boyfriend, because even then I would still get her.”

“You sure are confident, I’m sure the only thing you want is to have her in your bed,” Bruce chuckled when John glanced away with a mischievous grin. “But no she doesn’t have a boyfriend currently from what my sources have told me, it’s more like she can’t date anyone other than her ex-boyfriend,” he explained as he took out his cellphone and scrolled down some of the texts he just received.

“Oh? And who is this Ex-boyfriend that was so stupid as to leave her?”

“I don’t know for certain, but he doesn’t seem to be in this area and no one knows about whom he is, it’s a complete mystery,” Bruce answered as he slid the cellphone back into his pocket. “Natalie may be pretty to the eyes, but she is anti-social and barely utters a word when speaking with others,” he added.

“Sounds like my type of girl,” John smirked as they opened the doors outside and were instantly hit by the mild cold wind, the sun was set up in the sky barely warming them up with its sunlight.

“Speak of the girl, there she is,” Bruce pointed out; John followed his gaze and paused when he saw her sitting all alone in a picnic table. She had a book in hand and was consuming a sandwich with the other hand, her brown hair was pulled to the side and her lips set into a thin line. “Doesn’t she ever smile?”

“That would be a miracle, the girl is too quiet to the point where most guys give up on her,” Bruce let out a sigh and leaned against the wall. “My advice is move on; there is no hope on going out with a Shallow girl like her.”

“That may be true, but I’m sure she would be really good in bed,” John chuckled, already imagining what it would feel like to have a virgin, innocent girl being taken by a guy like him. “Might as well start now, because sooner or later I will get her,” John assured with a confident front.

“Good luck with that,” Bruce muttered lowly as his friend walked toward the girl, his back straight and his stance determined. He knew John and always knew he got his way, but there is no way he could make a girl like her his, it was just too cliché.

~♥~

        Natalie felt a shiver of fear climb up her spine as John came up from behind her, his presence was too hard to ignore. She felt like a spider was crawling over her arms, her face losing color.

“Hey,” he greeted with an intent tone, his eyes making her glance away. “We didn’t really get to speak in class, my name is John,” he gave her one of his infamous half-smiles that made girls melt into a puddle.

“What do you want from me?” She questioned her voice weak from nervousness.

“Oh,” John smiled at her small frown; she certainly looked cute with an angry expression. “I just wanted to talk, and maybe get an apology for being so rude when I was injured,” he had the pleasure of seeing her frown deepen.

“I don’t think I owe you an apology…if anything you should be the one giving me gratitude for helping you hide,” Natalie turned around to face him, only to realize he was super close. His arms came around her and settled against the table, his nose brushing with hers as he leaned in, she felt cornered.

“I don’t like girls that talk back,” his smirk had disappeared and his face became cold. “Why is it that you act so fearful with me when you don’t even fucking know me? You might have a pretty face, but that’s the only good thing you have,” he reckoned as one of his hands came up to bring her chin up.

Natalie swallowed the lump in her throat, her eyes feeling teary as she felt the memories flash through her mind. She didn’t like the way he was so close, his skin on hers, or the way those eyes glinted.

“You sure have nice skin,” the man’s voice whispered in her mind, his touch made her feel nauseated and full of disgust. She could feel those men cornering her and pushing against her, the rain pouring down on her…drowning out her cries of pleads.

Their sadistic smiles playing on their faces, all their eyes glinting with determination and desire. Her body felt numb, yet still she could feel their disgusting hands caressing her skin.

“Get away from me!” She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away, her face was stricken with fear. Her body was trembling, her heart hammering inside her chest at the nightmare.

John’s eyes widened at her expression, he didn’t mean to scare her. That wasn’t his intention at all, but it resulted in that. He felt a trickle of guilt in his heart, but dismissed it when she glared at him.

“Leave me alone! I don’t want to associate with a person like you!” She proclaimed before grabbing her bag and book and leaving him frozen in place. She could easily ignore his handsome face and body, if it meant that she could run away from her past.

It was too frightening returning to that dark room full of lopsided smirks and evil desires, from that bloody scene that never seemed to waver out of her mind. The memory was too clear to recall that she could feel the bile rise up her throat.

John gritted his teeth in frustration, his leg coming up to kick the wooden table in anger. The sound rebounded and everyone glanced at the tantrum he had just caused, he was pissed off at the abnormal behavior she displayed.

What did that girl think of him? She looked at him like if he was a monster, a dangerous disease that would infect with one touch. Was he that hideous or repulsive?

He was becoming irritated by that expression; he has claimed girls like her before. He has captured innocent, naïve, nice girl’s hearts, and has taken their virginity only to later drop them once he got what he wanted.

Yet this stubborn girl didn’t get flustered or seemed even mildly interested in him, she was rather challenging. And he liked that, it made the chase much better. “Just you wait, Natalie,” he murmured out through clenched teeth.
