Ahh I'm so bad at ending chapters so please don't get mad at me when you get to the end! Also, thank you so much for your reviews! You guys are the best, so keep reviewing and give me suggestions. Also, apperently Sophie lives with her abuela, so pls forgive me for changing her background around to fit with the story. We all love Sophie :). Anyway, Enjoy!
Sophie sat across from Crystal. She had set up their little meeting in the living room of her house. Pepper was sitting next to Sophie, with the contract in her hands.
"So lemme get this straight... You are going to pay me 50 dollars if I get this hot southern hunk to fall in love with me?" She said in a completely slow, dumb-girl voice. But Sophie tried to be nice. This girl was her only chance.
"Yes"
"And if I fail the task?"
"You get 10 dollars automatically." Pepper informed her.
"Okay, and if I fall in love with him too?"
"What do you expect?" Sophie snapped. Then she sighed. "The point is to break his heart. Even if you fall in love with him, you still have to break his heart. And I'm pretty sure it's much harder to do that when you love him, so I suggest you don't."
"Okay!" Crystal nodded and smiled. Pepper gave her the contract, which she immediately signed with out reading over.
"Your first introduction to this guy will be tomorrow. We're all going out after cheer and football practice tomorrow. Be at that restaurant at exactly 6:00 pm. Don't talk or look at me or Pepper when we all are eating. Bring friends to the restaurant-don't tell them about your task. Here's a list of Sawyer's interests and hobbies." Pepper handed her over a list.
Sophie saw her out of her house. "Make a good impression" she told Crystal, as she headed out.
She had a good feeling about this.
Suddenly her phone buzzed.
From Bella:
Hey, talked to Sawyer. He suspects something's up. Turns out you're being "too nice" to be Sophie. Why don't you amp up the snarkiness a bit?
Alr, I'll try to act normal then. Thanks Bella :)
Sophie signed her name on the Model United Nations Club poster on the board. She loved learning of other country's problems and pretending to be the UN to come up with resolutions- it made her feel all professional. Plus the conferences they went to let her meet others from other schools. And the best part- parties. Also, they got to be in hotels with other students from other schools, and teacher sponsers never cared what they did during the trips. As long as they attended the sessions.
"May I borrow that?" Sawyer came up beside her. Sophie was just about to hand it over to him, but then she remembered what Bella gold her. Amp up the meaness. So Sophie took the pen and tucked one end of it in her bra.
"Go ahead and take it." She remarked, expanding her chest a little, and gave him a look saying: I dare you.
Sawyer chuckled. "There she is," he said. Sophie frowned, expecting a reaction that was much more fearful. Then she felt a sudden loss near her left boob. Looking over, she realized the pen was gone. Fucking gone. And then she looked over to what Sawyer was doing: writing his name right under hers. With HER pen. After he finished, he turned back to her, tucking the pen in her bra once again. Sophie's breath slightly hitched. Technically, Sawyer had just touched her boob. Clearing her throat, she cocked her hip to the side. "I never took you for an MUN guy."
"I never took you for an MUN girl. I thought it was all nerd stuff. But I met a guy from North Weastern who was on the football team. He told me that it's loads of fun when they let you go to 4-day conferences during school to different Universities. The Parties are the best. All Ya gotta do is be good at the mock-sims."
"Do you even know what a mock-sim is?"
"Yeah, it's a fake conference that our school hosts just for students who go here to determine if they are good enough to go to the university conferences. Yeah, Delarosa, I did my research!"
Sophie scoffed. "You'll barely survive this club." and she walked away.
Sophie wanted to smack her head. Why was she being so nice?! Amp up the mean, Sophie, amp it up, she told herself.
Sophie walked into 6th hour, and caught sight of Sawyer sitting in the seat next to her. She groaned as she took her seat.
"Goddamn I forgot you were in this class!"
"Well, aren't you excited."
"Very." She said, her voice covered with sarcasm.
Soon enough, Sawyer handed over her a note.
Hey.
Hey.
Girl why you ignoring me.
Shut the fuck up and pay attention.
There's a sub, and we're watching a video that doesn't pertain to this class
So you've been doing your homework. Plus the rest of the class is paying attention.
Yes, I do homework. *gasp* and the rest of this class are dumb asses, you shud know that.
Hey.
Seriously?
I'm pretty sure you're wearing an underwear,
Sophie glanced at her shorts. True, they were way too short for school, but the teachers never called her out for it. She turned diagonally towards Sawyer to show more of her skin and decided to reply.
Likin' it Huggins? ;)
No answer. Sophie smirked, knowing it would shut up.
Who's your ride to the outing tonight?
Great he changed the topic. Bending low to write her response, Sophie hinted him with a bit of her cleavage.
Don't have one.
Oh? I could give you one. It'll be smooth, trust me ;)
Sophie rolled her eyes at the sexual hint. But she loved to rile him up.
That would be wonderful!
Great, pick you up at 5:30?
Sophie looked at him in confusion. That was not what she meant! But she played along.
I ain't going home- cheer practice. You have football practice too. What are you trying to imply, cowboy?
You know what I'm implying Delarosa.
Oh, Huggins. So young and so innocent. Here's a piece of advice: that'll happen when pigs fly
I've got a pig, Newts got a zip line... It could work out.
Sophie kicked him.
Sophie and Pepper sat at their table, waiting for the others to show up. It was 5:45. Suddenly, a light-blond haired girl walked in and sat down with some other friends, right across from the aisle.
Sophie immediately texted Crystal.
Hey! You're early!
Being early is never a harm.
Looking gorgeous :)
Thanks! Your not bad yourself.
Sophie scowled. Who did this girl think she was, telling Sophie that she didn't look "bad". But Sophie stuck to her "nice" act and sent her a kisses emoji.
Sophie had chosen to sit at the edge of the table with Pepper next to her, so that Newt or Sawyer wouldn't be next to her. Unfortunately Sawyer got to the table before anyone else and sat directly across from her. Sophie glared at him, but he simply smiled. Bella and Troy sat next to Sawyer, and Newt sat next to Pepper.
They all settled down, and had already taken their orders. While waiting, Sawyer was glancing around the restaurant. Sophie prayed he would catch his eye on crystal.
Sawyer noticed a certain blond girl- well almost had white. She was extremely beautiful, but she was definitely not his type. Still, he was intrigued by this girl. She kept glancing at him, he at her. Soon enough they were staring at each other for 10 seconds before they looked away.
"Just fuck already!" Troy whispered in his ear, and Sawyer laughed.
Their food had finally arrived, and while eating through most of it, they kept exchanging long glances at each other, each new one filled with more sexual tension.
Finally, after Sawyer finished his last piece of pie, the girl smiled shyly, got up, and headed towards the back of the restaurant. Sawyer kept his eyes on the back of her head and followed her. She was waiting next to the back door. When Sawyer got close enough, she went through it. Sawyer grunted. Why the hell was she running away? Following her outside, they seemed to be in a small garden at the back of the building. The girl stood at the center of it, her white-ish curly hair blowing in the wind.
Sawyer slowly approached her as she stood still with a sly smile on her lips. She clearly wanted to do what he wanted, but she probably wanted him to make the first move. I'm okay with that, Sawyer shrugged. He stopped when he was a foot away from her. After waiting for a few seconds, he couldn't take it anymore. He smashed his lips to hers, giving her a fiery kiss. She moaned as he pit her lip. But only after she pushed him away did he realize it was a moan of pain, not pleasure.
They were both breathing hard, and she had pushed Sawyer a few feet back. She approached him with her hand out, like he was dangerous animal. Sawyer stood there confused as she finally reached him and gently cupped his face. Leaning in to give him a slow kiss, Sawyer growled impatiently. He did not like this at all. He liked kisses that were hot and fast, but she was giving him slow and smooth. But she was controlling him, giving him deep, slow and smooth kisses. But even if he didn't like this, it was too late. With every moment of her slow, soft kisses, he could tell he was getting turned on. Eager to get this over with, he started to fumble with her jeans' buttons. Then he felt two hands push him back once more.
"What the hell?!" He gasped.
"I don't let a guy get in my pants before the first date."
"There's going to be a date?"
"Mmhmm!"
She lifted the hem of his shirt, took out a black sharpie marker and wrote her number across his chest.
Then she turned on her heal and walked away.
Sawyer shook his head. No matter what, girls were always walking away from him.
"Did you get her?!" Troy eagerly asked as Sawyer took his seat at their table.
"Nope, but apperently I have a date though."
"Bro she's not your type"
"I know...-wait what? No man, EVERYONE is my type."
"If you say so." Troy chuckled.
Sophie deviously smiled. At first she was a bit pissed off that Crystal was just leading him to sex. She needed her to break his heart, not his dick. But now she realized what she did. Sawyer's need for sex let him get caught in her trap. She decided to text Crystal once again.
Good job. :)
Thanks! That was so nerve wrecking tho.
Just keep doing what you're doing. Sawyer likes girls that are in charge.
I'm not that type of girl!
so? You're pretty good at acting like it, as far as I can tell. I'll try to get him to text you ASAP, and if you need help on what to say to text him, ask me, okay?
Alr.
"Guys, Seven Eleven is right across from the road. Smoothie time!" Bella exclaimed.
They paid their bill and headed out to cross the road. They had all parked their cars at Seven Eleven anyway, there was too much traffic in the restaurant parking lot.
Sophie sat down with her smoothie on one of the benches outside. Bella, Newt, and Pepper were freaking out about some book. Troy was inside, flirting with that cashier, no doubt. Crossing her legs, she leaned her arms back against the edge of the bench. Sawyer came and sat next to her, his eyes lingering on her exposed skin between her crop top and high-waisted shorts.
"Hey, we have the same drink." He said, trying to make conversation.
"Wonderful." Sophie's words dripped with sarcasm.
Silence.
"So... You like that girl you met today?" Sophie finally asked.
"Who? You mean that blond chick I made out with?"
"Ugh it's the same thing to you, isn't it." she pointed out.
"I dunno... She's a bit different from my taste. She doesn't really kiss the way I like it. But I'm intrigued to see what direction this will go." He told her.
"You should her text her. Did you get her number?" Sophie asked, ignoring his comment about the way Crystal kissed.
Sawyer chuckled and lifted his shirt up to show the number Crystal wrote, revealing his abs at the same time.
Sophie looked away, "Yeah you didn't have to do that." Sawyer laughed again.
"You know, you confuse me. You act so mean, but you're really not a mean person. I like it. And I want to know more about you... not just with our group hang outs. You're... interesting." He stood up. Sophie uncrossed her legs to stand up in front of him.
"You like it?" She ran her fingers through her hair. Then she reached out and grabbed his collar, pulling his face inches away from hers.
"Listen ya cowboy. Don't test my fucking patients. I don't have time for your horse dancing crap. You go your way, and I'll go in mine. Or I'll kick your ass." She gave him an incredible sweet-sarcastic smile.
Before she realized what was happening, Sawyer was taking his leather jacket off and set it on her shoulders. He grabbed the two ends of the collar on both sides of her and pulled her close to him, chest to chest. Sophie breathed heavily, lifting her chin slightly to try to not look as weak as Sawyer was making her feel. She looked over his right shoulder, avoiding eye contact.
But all he said was:
"Looks like you're taking me home." He let go over her, pushing her back a few feet. Then he started walking towards the parking lot. Sophie took a big breath and stayed where she was, trying to process what just happened.
"Yeah. Wha-wait, what!?" she yelled, chasing after him. "I don't want you to come to my home!"
"Not your home, dumbass, mine. As you can see, our friends aren't here and you're my only ride." he yelled behind him.
Sophie took a quick look around- he was right. Bella and the others slipped away, not even bothering to say goodbye to her and Sawyer. Bitches.
They finally reached her car. Sophie had one of those new cars where the driver seat's door automatically unlocked when the person with the keys was near by. She hopped in, waiting for Sawyer to do something. But he just stood their out side the passenger door, yelling at her to unlock it. Giggling, she tried to play a joke on him.
"What was that?" she asked, cupping one hand behind her right ear and pretended she couldn't hear him.
"C'mon Delarosa!" he threw his hands up.
"Oh I'm sorry honey, but this car blocks outside sounds, so I can't hear you right now." She made a cute, pouty face.
Sawyer slapped his face with his hands, slowly dragging it down in fustration. Why was she always so sexy when she did that, he thought.
Finally, he just stood there with his arms crossed. Sophie sighed, tired of her little act, and unlocked his door.
"I'm sorry Huggins, but it seems that something is bothering you. Would you like to talk about it?" she asked innocently as she backed the car out of the parking lot.
"Screw you, Delarosa." He replied grumpily.
Once they got to the roads, Sawyer turned on the radio.
"Ew, turn off that crap!" Sophie complained.
"What, you don't like the radio?"
"Who listens to that mainstream shit!?"
"Glad someone agrees."
Sophie ignored the fact that the both of them had found yet another thing in common between them.
"But I thought like, girls normally liked that stuff." he went on.
Sophie turned to look and glare at him. "I'm not a normal girl." she snapped. Sawyer rolled his eyes. "Yeah, you're a crazy girl who won't keep her eyes on the road."
Reculantly, Sophie drifted her eyes back to the middle of the road. "It's my car, so I get to pick the music." She picked up her phone that was connected the car via Bluetooth.
"No, it's your car, so you're driving. Keep you're eyes on the road! I'll do the honorary role of picking it." he grabbed her phone from her hands.
"Hey!" She swatted his arm and tried to reach her phone.
"Stop it you're swerving on the road!"
Sophie leaned back into her seat. "Fine. You can pick the music."
"Password?"
"1520"
"Well you seem to trust me enough with that." Sawyer smirked.
"I change my password everyday, Huggins. So don't try to pull anything on me."
"Hey, you have almost the same songs as me!" He exclaimed, scrolling through her playlists.
"Yeah well, we don't listen to that mainstream crap," Sophie commented, and they both laughed. For the next few minutes, they criticized others about their disgusting music tastes.
"Wowww... I don't understand this world sometimes" Sophie laughed, continuing their conversation.
"I love how we come together only by hating on other people."
"Great minds think alike." Sophie turned to smile at him. Suddenly, she felt something weird, almost like butterflies in her stomach. She quickly looked away, feeling her face redden and caught a glimpse of Sawyer blushing bad. Clearing her throat to break the ice, she said, "We're here."
"Hmm?"
"Your house. We're here."
"Oh, right. Thanks Delarosa."
"Don't thank me, thank our idiotic friends who abandoned us." Sophie joked. Sawyer chuckled. Right as he was exiting the car, she stopped him: "Oh! Don't forget to text that blonde chick!" she reminded him. Sawyer frowned and sat back in his seat, closing the door. "You know, you seem pretty keen on me texting this girl. What's up with that?"
Oh shit, Sophie's eyes widened. She quickly look away to hide her reaction. "I...I mean... its because I don't want you to 'get to know me'. I was hoping that this new relationship would distract you from that." she quickly said. She was proud of herself for coming up with an excuse fast, but felt a little uneasy that what she had said made her look a bit weak.
Sawyer smiled. "Oh, this new relationship will distract me alright," he said, looking up to the corner and smirking. Sophie rolled her eyes. He clearly was talking about sex. "But," he started, "that will definitely not keep me away from you, Delarosa." Then he left the car and entered his house.
Sophie sighed heavily and looked forward. It suddenly dawned to her that she had no idea what she was doing with her life, let alone her plan.
