Chapter 2: First Impressions
Summary: Kathryn and James get to know each other.
Authors Notes: I'm in the process of mapping this story out and it appears that it might be somewhat long (sorry). Also unlike my last story (summer in the country) this with definitely have more angst.
As another boring school day was drawing to a close Kathryn was debating who to get a ride home with. The ride from Manchester to her townhouse was usually a good thirty minutes since the prestigious school was located outside of the city. Usually she was driven to school in one of the families limos but that morning she had gotten a ride from Allison Walker, however she had left school before she could get a ride back. There was of course always Sebastian but that would mean having to ask him and he would probably make her beg. Besides he would most likely be giving that little hick a ride home too and she really didn't want to be around either of them.
She knew she should probably just get her own car it was just, why drive when someone else could do it for you? The only time she had even considered getting a car was when she spotted Sebastian's vintage jag. He loved it so of course she had to have it. Truth be told if she had won there bet she probably would have just let the thing sit in the garage if only to annoy Sebastian.
Kathryn considered calling home and telling Tony there driver to come pick her up when she remembered Trey and his new car. Perfect after the attention she paid him last night the least he could do was drive her home. She remembered he was at basketball practice so she decided to wait until he got done.
Deciding she rather wait outside than inside with the cheerleaders and jock groupies Kathryn took a seat on one of the outside benches and lit up a cigarette. She knew she was taking a chance of some one, like a teacher seeing her but she really didn't care. Besides most of them had gone home already anyway. "You know that is a very bad habit" said a familiar voice behind her.
She whipped around to see James coming down the steps behind her. He was dressed in the Manchester uniform only his tie was hanging loosely from around his neck and his shirt wasn't tucked in. All day all she had heard about was James Matthew's. The female student body couldn't stop talking about him. Oh my god did you see his hair? How about his smile? I heard he got kicked out of his last school for knocking up the head masters daughter. I heard he robbed a bank. And so on and so on. Kathryn found it all quite annoying. She would admit that yes James was with out a doubt gorgeous and she didn't doubt that he could have done some of the things they claimed but she just wasn't impressed. He seemed to her to be just the typical James Dean wannabe. Yawn.
As he approached her James smiled and pulled out the cigarette from behind his ear and lit it. Kathryn rolled her eyes at him "you don't seem to have a problem with it."
"Indeed on you it looks quite sexy" he told her as he inhaled.
"Lucky me"
James snickered "you don't like me very much do you Kat?"
Kathryn hated being called Kat. Sebastian use to do it to her just to piss her off. Glaring up at him she said coolly "first of all don't ever, ever call me Kat. Second not really. Look I'm sure this hot shit James Dean crap works well on the moron girls at this school but I'm not one of them. So why don't you go find a nice cheerleader to fuck and leave me the hell alone." Kathryn then put her cigarette out and started away confident that he would in fact back down.
No such luck. "Oh but you see there not nearly as interesting as you. You know I'm curious does this holiet then thou bitch act work on the jocks? I mean your brother doesn't seem to be that impressed by it then again-"
She turned around at him "look you don't know anything about me so just fuck off."
"I think I have a pretty good idea. Everyone at this school seems to be under the assumption that your some sort of saint but from what I've seen that's hardly the case. No I think your a lot more interesting than anyone at this school knows."
All of this was making Kathryn a little more than uneasy. She usually had no problem manipulating people and the idea that this guy had her figured out so early on in the game made her curious. "Am I?"
"Yes you are. My guess is that you play the good little girl because it gets you a lot but we both know that not you." James got closer to her and looked her up and down smiling. "I was watching you at lunch today it was quite the performance. So sweet and gracious to everyone but I'm betting inside you wanted to tell all of them to go to hell. How am I doing?"
For once Kathryn was speechless. In a few short sentences he was able to figure her out and she was to shocked to rebut him. James smirked "what no come back?"
She glared at him "fuck you!"
He laughed as she once again started to walk away "ooh I think I was right. Need a ride home?"
At this point Kathryn was standing in the parking lot and it occurred to her that she had no place to go. Staring around she wished to god that some one would come by so she could get away from him. He walked up next to her and put his cigarette out "so need a ride home?"
"No" she said coldly "I have one."
"Are you sure I would love to give you a ride"
Kathryn caught the double meaning in his statement and rolled her eyes "I'm sure you would. Trust me its never going to happen."
"We'll see" he told her confidently.
Before she could say something back Trey called out to her "Kathryn! Hey babe need a ride home?"
Kathryn smiled with relief in his direction. She then looked over at James and said "I'd love one."
James only smirked back at her as Trey came and put an arm around her. "Ready to go?" Trey asked giving James a dubious look.
"Sure" she said nuzzling herself against him.
Shaking his head James walked away and called out "see you around Kat."
Kathryn watched his with disdain as he headed over to a black vintage car that he probably thought was really cool. What an asshole she thought. Trey glanced over at her "does he know you or something?"
"No way"
* * * * * *
An hour later Kathryn was heading into her bathroom to wipe the taste of cum out of her mouth. After Trey had given her a ride home he wanted to go inside and have a repeat of the previous night. She however was in no mood especially after her little run in with James. Instead she made him settle for a blow job and against her better judgment she had swallowed leaving her with an awful sour taste in her mouth. In was safe to say Trey was done with.
As she started brushing her teeth and washing her mouth out a familiar voice called out behind her "you know it amazing that with the amount of cum you swallow that you don't have some disease by now. When was the last time you went to the doctor Kat?"
At the sound of Sebastian's voice using that nickname she hated oh so much Kathryn spun around and slammed the door in his face. She finished brushing her teeth and walked back in her bedroom. Sebastian was laying in her bed flipping through a magazine. "Bad day Kat?"
"Stop calling me that! God what the fuck is wrong with people today?"
Sebastian sat up curious what brought on the bad mood "something wrong?"
"No" she told him coldly as she sat at her vanity table and brushed her hair. "What are you doing in here? Shouldn't you and the little misses be out helping the less fortunate or whatever the hell it is you two do?"
"She's helping her father with something. Don't change the subject what crawled up your ass?"
Kathryn was curious what Sebastian's take on James was. She got the impression from earlier that he was hardly impressed by him. "What do you know about James Matthew's?"
He rolled his eyes "why? Please don't tell me you have a thing for him."
At this she smiled "why would you care if I did?"
Sebastian got off the bed and watched her reflection in the mirror. "I would think the guy would hardly be worth your time. He's rich but it's not like he could elevate your status any, why bother?"
Kathryn realized that for whatever reason Sebastian was threatened by James. She decided to play with that a little. "For pleasure. Your right his reputation would hardly help me any but from what I here the boy in quite the pleasure. From what Carly Roberts says even better than you."
"Since when do you believe what that slut says? Besides no one is better than me."
She turned to him "well that use to be the case before blondie had you neutered. However maybe its time that a new successor stepped up."
Sebastian shook his head "are you actually suggesting that, that rebel wannabe could replace me?"
Kathryn shrugged and turned back around to her mirror "anything is possible. I suppose I'll have to test him out for myself to make sure."
As she studied Sebastian's face in the mirror she saw a look of envy pass over his face. At that point she almost started laughing. The look then quickly vanished and was replaced with ice. "It will never happen."
"Oh but it already has. You can't have it both ways Sebastian. You choose your bed now you have to lay in it...with her."
He closed his eyes and shook his head "why do I even bother with you?"
Kathryn giggled in amusement as Sebastian strutted out of her room. Maybe James arrival wasn't such a bad thing after all.
* * * * * *
Later that week Kathryn walked into the large auditorium at Manchester and looked for a seat. As expected it was already quite full. There was some sort of mandatory assembly today about school safely or some such bullshit. Kathryn saw a seat next to Jennifer Spencer and sat down. She smiled at Kathryn happy that she choose to sit with her and her friends. Jennifer was just another drone Kathryn used to step on to get what she wanted. "Oh my god, hi Kathryn!"
Kathryn gave her a tight smile "hello Jennifer."
"We were just talking about my date last night."
It was all Kathryn could do not to roll her eyes. She could really give a fuck about Jennifer's social life but she knew part of the reason she was so popular was because she was nice so she smiled and asked "oh who with?"
A huge smile came over the pretty girls face "James Matthew's."
At his name Kathryn's smile fell. She was so sick about hearing about James. Ever since his arrival a few days ago all any one talked about was James this and James that it was really quite annoying. "You guys went out? Did you have a good time?"
"Yeah it was amazing. Almost as good as the time afterwards" she told her obviously hinting that they had sex.
This came as no surprise to Kathryn. From what she heard James had quite the reputation. It even rivaled Sebastian's. "Really? Are you two dating now?"
Her smile fell a little "I don't think so. I think he's interested in someone else."
"Who?"
"You. He kept asking me all these questions. I think he likes you."
Lucky me Kathryn thought sarcastically. She knew that Jennifer was a complete gossip so she was worried what she said about her, not that she knew to many of her secrets. "What did you tell him?"
"Nothing I didn't already know" James said as he sat down in the empty seat beside her.
Kathryn turned to him trying her best to contain her anger. "What part of fuck off didn't you get?" she hissed quietly.
James only smirked at her "your quite found of that word."
"What word?"
He leaned over and whispered in her ear "fuck."
Before Kathryn could respond the room went quiet as dean Hardgrove walked out on stage and greeted everyone. James just sat back in his seat with that arrogant, cocky look on his face. After a minute Kathryn too sat back calmly but inside she was raging. Who the hell did he think he was talking to her like that? Didn't he know who she was, what she could do to him? If he didn't leave her alone he was going to find out.
About ten minutes into the assembly Kathryn suddenly felt a warm hand on her leg. She glanced down and saw that James had his hand resting on her knee. Glancing over at him she saw he was staring straight ahead at the headmaster not paying the slightest attention to her. Kathryn sat back and thought about what she should do as his hand began to move further up her leg. As an idea came to her she smirked. She would let him have his fun...for now.
Kathryn pretend to be totally engaged in what was going on, on stage and ignored him. As the assembly went on his hand got further and further up her leg. When he finally came to her panties he brushed a finger over the silky material. As much as she hated to admit it, he had been turning her on somewhat. She really didn't care if he knew it because he wasn't going to get any further.
As James started to inch a finger under the elastic of her underwear Kathryn stood up immediately and screamed "oh my god! What are you doing you pervert!"
He pulled back and his eyes immediately went large with confusion. The auditorium had gone quiet, including the speaker on stage as they all focused there attention on Kathryn. "Get away from me, your disgusting!"
"What are you-" he started to ask before two teachers approached them.
"Is something the matter?"
"Yes" Kathryn said pulling out a few tears "he was trying to...to...god its too disgusting. He had his hands on me!"
The teachers obviously knew what she meant and they quickly pulled James out of his seat "ok that's it, your out of here."
"What?" He asked confused "she was totally into it. She-" he then stopped and studied her for a moment before smiling. "Oh your good, your very good."
"That's enough" Hardgrove said as he came up behind him. "In my office now where going to have a little talk about your behavior."
James shook his head "whatever." As the two teachers and the dean lead him out James turned around and glanced back at Kathryn. A small evil smile came on her face as she gave him a small wave. It really wasn't a good idea to fuck with her.
* * * * * *
Sometime later Kathryn was waiting outside of the headmasters office to find out what James punishment was. Actually since there was no one in the room with her she was eavesdropping trying to overhear something but she couldn't. After the incident in the auditorium Kathryn had given the dean a weepy statement about how James had tried to touch her inappropriately under her skirt. He had been all understanding and told her that Mr. Matthew's would in fact be punished.
Twenty minutes later the door opened and James stormed out. He didn't notice Kathryn at first until she began to laugh. "You should of seen your face when I stood up. Absolutely priceless."
He turned around and shook his head at her "you really are a piece of work."
"And your really an the idiot if you think you can mess with me like that and get away with it. You see James your right I'm not the little angel I pretend to be. In fact when I'm crossed I become quite the bitch."
"I'm getting that" he said as she approached him.
Kathryn smiled and stepped so close to him that she was almost on him. He was much taller than her but there lips were still close enough for her to kiss him if she wanted. She had no intention of doing so but she enjoyed messing with him. "Good because you fuck with me again and I'll destroy you."
A smile spread across James face "my god your sexy when your trying to be intimidating."
She flinched at this. That wasn't the reaction she was expecting "I wasn't trying."
His smile only widened as he messed up her hair and stepped away "whatever you say Kat."
This wasn't a joke and she was pissed that he was treating her like it was. Trying to muster some dignity she said "stay away from me."
Walking away he gave her a slight bow "as you wish."
"Fuck you" it was the only thing she could think of to say. At that point he had gone beyond annoying her.
James was at the door and he turned around and gave her one more grin. "You really are incredible" he told her before exiting.
When alone Kathryn let out a frustrated groan, that hadn't exactly gone as planned. He was suppose to be the frustrated and angry one not her. There was no way in hell he was going to get away with that, no one treated her like that.
