Part 2: Chapter 9

After the last bell rang, Lily put her books into her locker. As she turned around, she was startled to see Aaron.

"Oh my god!" Lily gasped.

"Sorry," Aaron said. "Didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay," Lily said. "I just get jumpy sometimes."

"Just stop talking," Lily said to herself in her head.

"I wanted to thank you for helping me find Mr. West's class," Aaron said.

"You're welcome," Lily said.

Lily and Aaron began walking towards the exit.

"So from what I've seen in this school, the students are kind of dramatic," Aaron said. "Is there always this much drama in Tree Hill?"

"Oh yeah," Lily said. "Tons of it. It's better than television."

Lily and Aaron walked out of the school towards the parking lot.

"So I heard you're new to this school too," Aaron said.

"I just started in October," Lily said. "I'm staying with my cousins."

"That's cool," Aaron said.

Lily and Aaron came up to a motorcycle and Aaron got a helmet out of his backpack.

"Wait just a second," Lily said. "That's your motorcycle?"

"Yes," Aaron replied. "Want a ride?"

"No thank you," Lily said. "I'm such an idiot. The leather jacket should have been a dead giveaway."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Aaron asked.

"You're the stereotypical school bad boy and I'm supposed to be the stereotypical girl who's into bad boys," Lily said. "Well Aaron, I'm sorry but you're going to have to work harder to impress me. I'm not into bad boys."

"I wasn't trying to impress you," Aaron said. "I just met you."

"I wasn't born yesterday," Lily said. "Sorry Aaron, but as far as far as you and me go… Never gonna happen!"

Lily began to walk off.

"Lily, wait," Aaron said. "So maybe I was trying to impress you."

"Like you said," Lily replied. "We just met. And like I said Aaron. I don't date bad boys."

Lily got into her car, buckled in, and drove home. Once she entered the house, Nathan, who was sitting on the couch watching a basketball game, greeted her.

"Hey Lily," Nathan said. "How was school?"

"It was okay," Lily said. "The new school bad boy hit on me."

"What?" Nathan asked.

"But I turned him down flat," Lily said. "I do not date bad boys. And also, it's too soon for me to date again. Now I'm going upstairs to pack."

Lily walked upstairs and Nathan scratched his head.

"School bad boy?" Nathan said aloud. "That's still a thing?"

That's the end of Part 2. Part 3 will be attached to this.
