No Ordinary Love: Chapter 2

The bell rang as first period ended. My body was tense and had been since I was "introduced" to my polar opposite "buddy" for the next few weeks.

I only assumed being such a scholarly student would only bring me rewards – not punishments.

I slowly stood up from my desk, collecting my materials from class when I caught the eye of my teacher I who motioned me towards his desk.

I reluctantly made my way to his desk, only to dread whatever else it was he had to disclose with me before my day of terror began.

"You're doing a great thing for this young man." He weakly smiled averting his eyes from me and to the new student already fast asleep at his desk in the back of the room.

"You don't say?" I questioned glancing over the new boy as well.

"He's a troubled boy. Was expelled from his last school, and his parents nearly begged us all to take him in. They feared this school was his only hope if they ever wanted him to graduate."

"So, why is it I'm stuck babysitting him then?"

Mr. Hartman was caught off guard. "You're our finest student. We think he needs a good influence his age to get through to him."

"And supposedly, that's me? Do we honestly seem anything alike?"

"Well, no, quite the opposite really. His parents informed us that he needs someone he can't walk all over. Someone to force him on the right track. They're quite concerned about their son."

"No shock there."

"Courtney, I had no doubt in my mind when I was asked who would do the most good for this young man. You're a brilliant girl with a bright future, and I know you can help turn this boy around. I wouldn't recommend you otherwise. And you did mention you wanted that extra boost for college. They see this on your application; you'll make it in anywhere your heart desires."

I sighed. "Sir, I really appreciate what you're doing for me, but I'm not sure how much help I can actually be here…"

"Give it until Friday, and if you still aren't comfortable with the situation, we'll revisit it, and I'll find someone else."

"I guess I can handle four and a half days…"

"That a girl! You're gonna do great things for Duncan."

"And what exactly does that entail?" A husky voice questioned behind me.

"Well, look who decided to wake up." Mr. Hartman teased. "You two should probably head out now if you plan to make it to your next class in time." He informed.

"Yes, sir," I murmured with my head hung low slowly exiting the classroom with said criminal close on my trail.

"So, how bad did you fuck up to get stuck with me?" His low raspy voice spoke breaking the short silence between us.

"Excuse me?" I asked looking back at him; his book bag slung over one shoulder and hands in his pockets, grinning at me.

"Ya, man. You must've fucked up pretty bad if they're attaching you and I to each other all day, every day."

"For your information, you and I are 'attached' only because you're a delinquent and I need extra credit to get into Ivy League schools."

"Great," he scoffed, "so you're telling me I'm stuck with your uptight valedictorian ass to benefit yourself?"

"Like I want to hold your hand through the school day to keep you out of trouble and help you make friends?!" I spat back.

"Oh, Princess, I can think of something else I'd much rather have you hold." He grinned motioning towards his groin.

I felt my face heat up. "In your dreams, Ogre!"

"Trust me, it will be."

"You're absolutely disgusting."

"You can't hide how turned on you are by it though. It's written all over that pretty little face of yours."

I stopped in my tracks, marching over to his revolting self, and stood inches from his face. "Let's get something clear here, delinquent. I will not hesitate to report your ass for harassing me. I am highly respected at this school, and if you continue to fuck with me, I will have you expelled from yet another school and you will never see graduation day."

'He threw his hands up in defense, "whoa, chill. It was just a joke."

"Well, believe it or not, not everyone finds your sense of humor amusing." I said, still furious trying to brush off my anger as we approached the door to second period.

"Whatever," he mumbled.

"Just do me a favor, don't speak to me during class. The last thing I need is someone like you talking to someone like me and give people the wrong impression."

"Excuse me? So what, I'm not worthy of your words in public?"

"Well, no…it's just – "

"Oh, no, I get it, you wouldn't be caught dead being stuck with a guy like me in an everyday situation."

"Not exactly…"

"Well, you can forget it, dollface. There's no way in hell I'm going to avoid you to help keep up your social status. You're stuck with me and I'm stuck with you. You don't get a say, and I'm about to make your life a living hell for the next few weeks." He spat as he passed by me and walked into the classroom.

I sighed, taking in a deep breath, trying to disregard the nervous butterflies in my stomach not knowing what was in store the rest of the day.

And from that moment on, little did I know my life would change forever because of said delinquent.
