Imagine this.
You're in class taking a test and the most incredible thing occurs. A voice you don't know calls your name. You turn around. It was a boy but not just any boy the hot new kid! He offers you a smile. You smile back because you can't help it. The smile was so damn contagious. Your heart races as he stares at you. He then speaks.
"Pssst…Hey wanna come to my party? He asks grinning.
Your mind goes into overdrive as you ponder. Finally after 50 seconds of debating with yourself you formulate two options. 1) You could kindly decline his invitation and finish the test or 2) You silently scream yes and don't continue the test because you're too distracted at what happened.
You choose yes because that's what every sane teenage girl will do. Right? Well I Bonnie Maria Bennett am not like other teenagers. For starters I'm a 99.8% full bonafied nerd. The other 1% falls in that I'm sort of lazy/procrastinator category (But hey who isn't?) On Friday nights I rather read than hang out with my friends (BTW I have none). When everyone else is out partying I'm either A) Studying or reading or B) watching star trek re-runs with my pet cat Spock. He's a black cat with white spots. He was a birthday present from my mom who past when I was 12. I know this may sound strange but I feel like whenever I'm around Spock I'm somehow connected with my mother. That's why wherever I go Spock tags along to. My father finds it a little weird not to mention crazy but he doesn't understand. He never does. Spock is the closest thing I have to my mom.
For fans of Star Trek who noticed my cat's name don't laugh. When I was little (and still do) I had a slight obsession for Spock… okay maybe a HUGE obsession! But who can blame me? The guy is the definition of hot in my opinion. Anyway so back to the situation with Mr. Hottie. There was no way that I was going to say no. I would be rude and I didn't want my first impression to the new kid to be 'She's a buzz kill'. No I was already taunted enough about my appearance, my social life, the way I dress and the fact that I had no friends of whatsoever. Besides it's been forever since someone invited me to something. So I choose option two you know the one where I silently scream yes which I didn't. Mrs. Leslie my geometry teacher threw me a look that clearly said 'Shut- the-hell-up-or-else'. I silenced and gave her an apologetic look. She ignored it and continued with her prowling searching for students who were cheating, chatting or both.
For some strange reason Mrs. Leslie has always hated me. I don't know why though. I was a straight A student and I did well on all her tests and quizzes. I gave her no lip unlike most of her students. And I always addressed her as Mrs. not Leslie which some of the students did. I even tried talking to her about it but she just always brushed it away and told me to leave her alone. So I did.
Someone touched my arm bringing me out of my thoughts. Startled I stared at the owner and saw Mr. Hottie flash me a sexy smirk. I had totally forgotten about him. My heart did somersaults when I met his eyes. They were so green. It was mind-blowing!
"So do you wanna come or not?" he repeated still wearing that breathtaking smirk of his. At first I didn't answer him because you got to believe me when I say this I was loss at words. It hadn't dawned on me until now that I was talking to a guy. An actually guy! Not a paper cut out I usually practice on because I was too shy and nervous to talk to a real one. It was foreign and crazy. This guy had managed to make my heart go from boom, boom, boom to thump, thump, thumpy thump in a matter of seconds. I never experienced this feeling before!
"Um…" I said nervously being careful to not be loud. Mrs. Leslie was two rows away and god forbid if she caught us talking. "Sure. Why not"
He smiled and handed me a piece of paper.
"Cool. See you there. By the way he's my number in case you get lost"
I took it with shaky palms and thanked god that he didn't noticed. He was facing his test, a pencil in hand as he tried to attempt to answer a question. God he looked so smoking hot! For the rest of the class period I tried to contrite but knew I failed miserably. Screw the test I thought tossing my pencil So what if I make a C. Dad will understand.
It was impossible to stay focus especially if your mind kept imagining so uber hot guy shirtless. Fortunately the bell rang signaling it was time for us to switch classes. I immediately jumped out of my seat and turned my test in. Mrs. Leslie snatched it and flashed me a dirty look. Oh well. At least I deserve it this time. Wait till she sees my test score.
And with that I ran towards the door and vanished in the sea of crowd. A moment later I arrived to my locker. It was the only place that didn't judge me. I dialed the combination and was getting ready to put my stuff into it when someone bumped me. The textbooks I was holding fell landing with a loud thud.
"Watch it!" hissed a familiar voice. I turned and saw Elena. She and her crew gave me the stink eye. I didn't mind considering I received them daily. Not only was she the most popular girl in school she was also feared by many. Because Helga her bodyguard, a senior who is six foot tall has a reputation for braking people faces. It was rumored that last year Helga punched a girl and broke several of her ribs. After that no one dared to cross Elena and her posse.
"Sorry" I mumbled lamely and bent down to retrieve my things. Elena laughed and picked up one of my belongings. It was a piece of paper. Suddenly my heart pounded. It was Mr. Hottie's phone number.
"What's this?" she asked handing the paper to Caroline, a pretty blonde who was notoriously known for showing great amounts of cleavage. Unfortunately for me today was one of those days. Caroline eyed the paper curiously and to my horror her eyes widened as she understood.
"Looks like somebody's number. But who?"
Both the brunette and the blonde thought for a second. You could tell by their constipated expressions that it was a difficult task for them. The whole time I was silently praying. Praying that they wouldn't be able to connect the dots. Something tells me if they did they wouldn't be (especially Elena) happy about it. Finally after an agonizing minute of sweating and chewing my nails I cleared my throat.
"May I please have it back?"
As usual no one seemed to acknowledge me. I suppressed an irritated groan. It took everything in me to not snatch the paper right out of their hands.
"Wait a minute" said Elena staring closely at the paper. My heart was in my throat as I rapidly thought Please don't have his name on it. Please. Please. Please! "On the bottom left it has the name Stefan written on it. You don't think…." She trailed.
Caroline gasped like she just solved the answer to the trickiest question in the world.
"OMG! Isn't Stefan the name of the new kid? You know the guy your totally crushing on?" she looked to Elena as she said this and my heart fell. Elena smiled a wicked grin. I should have known she called dibs on him. After all she was the queen of the school.
"Yep that's him" said Elena her chocolate brown eyes straying to me. I gulped. I knew what was coming next.
"Then how on god green earth did this thing get his number?" asked Caroline her eyes also giving me a disapproving look like I was a bug that needed to be squashed. To my surprise I found myself answering her question.
"Simple. He gave it to me"
This was the wrong thing to say. Helga clenched her fist and started to crack her knuckles. Caroline smiled gleefully. You could tell she wanted to see Helga beat the living crap out of me.
"Easy Helga" said Elena and I was appalled when Helga stopped flashing me daggers. Caroline frowned.
"But Elena it was about to get so good" she whined giving Elena an absurd look. Elena ignored her and fixed her attention on me. For while she just stared without saying a single word. I found this odd. I shifted uncomfortably trying to avoid her gaze. But it was impossible. Her eyes were so hypnotizing.
"Get out" said Elena and she did something unexpected. She laughed. At first it was soft then as if someone increased the volume it grew louder. Baffled Caroline and the rest of her entourage stared befuddled at her. Then catching on they soon joined her.
"You expect us to believe that a sexy guy like Stefan would give a slob like you his number?"
I wanted to say 'yes' but I figured that wasn't the smartest thing to do.
So instead I said "Pretty much"
This earned more laughs.
"Then your even crazier than we thought"
The bell rang but none of the girls moved. I closed my locker and quickly gathered my stuff. I started to walk in the other direction when a strong and thick palm stopped me. I didn't have to turn around to see who it belonged to. It was Helga and man was her grip wicked strong!
"Where do you think your going?' she said her voice deep like a dude's. Once again I gulped.
"To class where else?"
Her face pinched in anger and I realized what I said came across as a smart-ass comment. I prepared myself for a mean punch in the gut which I was positive was going to come. But it didn't. Helga wasn't even looking at me anymore more instead her gaze drifted behind me. Wondering what she was looking at I turned around and pulled a Caroline. I gasped.
Mr. Hottie- I mean Stefan was leaning against my locker his eyes staring at all of us. Elena and Caroline murmured excitedly among themselves. Oblivious to the fact that I almost crap myself. Stefan looked even sexier than earlier before. His brown hair was wet and his emerald green eyes were deep and mysterious. If I didn't know better I'll say he just came from shooting a shampoo commercial.
"Stefan" breathed Elena her face was flushing a light red. "Wh-What are you doing here?"
My jaw dropped. Never had I heard Elena stutter before. Caroline and the rest of the posse stared in shock too. Apparently we were sharing the same thoughts.
"I was on my way to class when I saw you guys and I saw this huge chick here" he pointed to Helga who flashed him the death glare "standing so close to Bonnie like she was going to punch her or something"
When he finished both Elena and Caroline gasped. The rest of the crew stared expressionless besides Helga who looked like she was going to murder Stefan. It hadn't occurred to me that Stefan- the hot new kid knew my name! I convinced myself that I had imagined it. But the flabbergasted looks on Elena and Caroline faces confirmed me wrong.
"What the hell" said Caroline she was going to say something else but Stefan interrupted her.
"Come on Bonnie I'll walk you to class" he said extending his free arm out to me the other was busy holding his textbooks. Elena and her entourage gawked like idiots as I slowly made my way towards Stefan. When I reached him he slid his hands into to mine. I thought I had died and went to heaven! It was so soft like a pillow. We began walking down the hall but unexpectedly Stefan stopped.
"I almost forgot" he muttered and turned towards Elena and her crew again. "You have something that belongs to her"
He was talking to Caroline.
"Like what?" she asked dumbly.
Stefan frowned. An annoyed look crossed his face.
"Stop playing games with me Blondie. You know very well what I'm talking about"
"No I don't?" she said this time she looked like she really didn't know what Stefan was talking about.
He sighed a deep sigh.
"In your pocket lies my phone number. Give it to me" he said his voice growing impatient with each second that passed.
Dropping the dumb and clueless act Caroline rapidly dug in her pocket and later retrieved the phone number. I smiled. I had almost forgotten about it. Stefan was such a gentlemen coming to my rescue and sticking up to Helga and Caroline. He was officially my hero!
"Here" said Caroline and Stefan took the number and handed it to me.
He then tugged for me to move and a second later we were walking down the hallway again. Behind us I could feel Elena and her crew's eyes on us. Their glares drilling into me. For once in my life I ignored them and didn't care what they thought. Pretty soon the entire hallway's attentions were on us. People who walked by whispered and pointed. But I didn't let it get to me.
"Bonnie" said Stefan we had finally reached my class. Chemistry. "I hope those girls didn't give you a hard time back there"
I chuckled. Despite what everything that had happened. He was worried about me. Could this guy get any better?
"I'm fine. Really."
He let go of my hand. I'll admit at first I was sad but then I realized I had to go to class.
"Well I'll see you later"
"You mean at the party. Right?"
The sides of my lips curled. "At the party" I said.
I went to the room and was about to go inside when a soft hand stopped me. I turned and saw Stefan staring at me. He then did something that I never imagined in a million years. His lips met my cheek. I flushed madly. My heart was doing a gymnastics show. When he pulled back he smirked.
"See ya later Bon" and he disappeared down the hall.
