Fuckboy

My alarm went off, the annoying sound screeching from my phone speaker and directly in my ear. I blindly reached for the noisy device and cracked my eyes open long enough to turn the alarm off. I let out a tired yawn and buried myself deeper into my pillows and blanket.

‘School could kiss my ass’ I thought as I drifted off to sleep again.

“Jennifer!”

I jolted up, my arms flailing in the air as I quickly sat up.

“It’s 6:37!” my mother continued to yell as she walked over and pulled one of the strings on my ceiling fan, making my room light up and blind me.

“Did you forget to set your alarm again?” she walked over to me and ripped my blanket off. She then tossed it on the floor so I wouldn’t cover up with it again.

I pulled my knees to my chest at the sudden lack of warmth, glaring at her as I did so.

“Come on, get up! We’re running late!” she clapped her hands loudly. I flinched at the noise and covered my ears.

It was too early to be this thunderous.

She left my room, leaving my door wide open. I stared at the open door for a solid minute as I debated on whether or not school was worth getting up this early.

It wasn’t but I got out of bed anyways. I dragged my feet as I walked to the bathroom in the hall. I knocked on the door and there was no answer. I turned the knob and waltzed right in.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”

I screamed and covered my eyes. My brother was standing in the middle of the bathroom naked. I didn’t know what to do so I just continued to keep my eyes covered.

“GET OUT!” he yelled at me. I nodded with my eyes still covered. I turned around to open the door but hit my head on the wall instead.

I fell down from the sudden impact.

“Just get out!” he kept yelling at me.

I scrambled to my feet and opened my eyes to open the door. I yanked it open and ran out, slamming it behind me with a shaky breath. I just seen my brother naked.

“You aren’t ready yet? We leave in 10 minutes!” my mother screamed from the end of the hall. I let out a groan and went back to my room, shutting the door behind me.

Mondays are always the worst.

“Don’t forget I won’t be able to pick you guys up today so you’ll have to ride the bus or get a ride from a friend.” my mother told us as she pulled up to the school entrance.

“Oh, I just remembered!” she gasped, stopping the both of us from getting out of the car. “We are going to a dinner party tonight for my job! So Jennifer, I want you to wear a nice dress. And help your brother find a suit.”

“Okay, okay.” I nodded, climbing out the car.

“I love you both! I’ll see you tonight!” she blew a kiss before speeding out of the school and down the road.

“What happened this morning is never spoken of again.” my brother spoke lowly as we walked side by side up the steps.

“Agreed.” I nodded, opening up the door and stepping inside.

The entire hallway was full of students as usual. I made my way through them and to my locker. My two best friends were waiting for me.

“Jen, where have you been? We’ve been waiting for you for like 5 whole minutes.” David rest a hand on his hip as he looked me up and down. He was the most judgmental gay I had ever met in my life.

“I slept in so we were running late.” I explained with a nonchalant shrug. I then opened my locker and retrieved my needed books for my first few classes.

“Oh and I don’t have a ride home, can one of you drive me?” I glanced at the two of them.

David crossed his arms and looked down at the ground. “I can’t. My mom took my keys this morning because she caught Felix sneaking out of my room.”

“You bad boy.” I laughed.

“Girl, you know it.” he snapped his fingers and flicked his nonexistent weave. I laughed harder and then turned to Amber who didn’t look amused at all.

“Can you give me a ride?”

“Yeah, I guess.” she sighed as if it were such a difficult thing for her to do.

“Jen, when are you going to get your own license?” she asked as the three of us began walking to our first class.

“I don’t know. I don’t really like driving..” I trailed off. “And why do I need a license when I have Uber and you two?”

They agreed with my point and dropped the topic. Only for a new topic to take place of course.

“Oh. Em. Gee!” David squealed, grabbing the both of us by our arms and pulling us to the side of the hallway.

“What is it now?” Amber rolled her eyes.

“Did Felix text you?” I joked, nudging Amber with my elbow. She snickered and I snorted.

“What? No. Ew.” he scrunched up his nose. “Felix is just a fuck buddy. We’re not even on the exchanging numbers level and we never will be.”

I rolled my eyes and mumbled a ‘yeah right’ but he didn’t hear.

“Anyway, no. But look who it is!” he pointed across the hall. “Its Harry Styles, part man, part sex god!”

I turned and looked in the direction he was pointing at the same time Amber did.

There he was. Harry Styles. The schools most beautiful student, best baseball player, and biggest fuckboy. He was attractive to everyone - even teachers. He was an A+ student and his daddy owned the Holiday Inn hotels so he was also filthy rich. He was every girls dream boy and I couldn’t blame them, he was quite a piece of work.

But looks can be deceiving and his looks definitely deceived. He’s a real asshole when he doesn’t get his way. The perfect image of a spoiled brat is what he was.

Not to mention he used girls for what they had underneath their clothes and nothing more. In my eyes he was disgusting.

“You are literally drooling. Stop.” Amber gave a grossed out look to David. I laughed.

“You look like the heart eye emoji.” I continued to laugh. “Its sad.”

“You are just jealous because Harry will never want you like he wants me.” David scoffed with a smug look.

“The only thing Harry wants is that girls ass he’s been staring at for the past 5 minutes.” I nodded over to some girl who was digging around in her locker.

Harry’s eyes hadn’t moved from her body ever since she walked by him. It was revolting.

“Let’s get to class before we witness the lion pouncing on his prey.” I joked as I glanced back at the girl.

Harry was now talking to her, no doubt saying something fuckboyish like, ‘are those space pants? because your ass is out of this world’.

I laughed at the thought of him actually saying that.

“You really shouldn’t randomly laugh at yourself out loud, its very creepy.” David gave me a weird look.

I shrugged. “And you’re gay.”

“What?”

“Sorry, thought we were stating the obvious.”

He pushed my shoulder, causing a smile to take over my face.

“But seriously we need to get to class so lets go.” I started walking, only to stop when they didn’t follow.

“Earth to delinquents?” I waved my hands in front of them. They didn’t even flinch.

I sighed and put my head between theirs to see what they were staring at. I groaned when I realized it was still Harry.

“She never saw him coming.” David shook his head. He then wiped an invisible tear from his eye.

I rolled my eyes.

“I feel so bad for her. Its her first day here and she’s already his next victim.” Amber sighed sadly.

“You know he’s had sex with every girl in this school?” David suddenly faced us.

“Um? No?” I gave him a confused look.

“Um? Yes?”

“Dude. He hasn’t tried casting his spells on Amber and I.” I pointed to Amber and then back to me.

“Okay then let me rephrase myself. He’s had sex with every girl that’s higher than a 0 on a scale of one to ten in this school.”

I gasped and held my hand to my chest. “How dare you say that! Amber is at least a 0.5”

She smacked my arm and I busted out laughing. “I’m kidding! You’re a 0.6 not a 0.5, my bad.”

She gasped. “I am at least a 0.7!”

The three of us busted out laughing again. We were laughing so hard that a few people around us stopped what they were doing to stare at us. In the midst of our laughs I snorted extremely loud which only made us laugh harder.

“Could you oink any louder, Ms. Piggy?” a voice yelled over our laughs. I looked up and my laughing stopped.

David and Amber looked up and their laughing stopped.

“I don’t know, maybe.” I shrugged.

“How embarrassing that your laugh sounds like a pig anyways.” he laughed, getting a high five from one of his friends. I rolled my eyes. That was the lamest insult I have ever heard.

“How embarrassing that the best baseball player just struck out.” I laughed, gesturing to the girl he had been flirting with as she quickly escaped down the end of the hallway.

A few oohs were heard and I mimicked his moves and high fived my two friends. His smile disappeared and the entire hallway was silent. We stared at each other for a solid 30 seconds and then he blinked.

“Ha! You blinked! I win!” I pumped my fist in the air.

“You think you’re pretty funny, don’t you?” he snapped.

“Yeah, most of the time.” I said with a shit eating grin on my face. He opened his mouth to say something but the bell rang, interrupting him.

I shook my head, the grin still on my face as I headed down the hallway with Amber and David. I looked back and he was still standing there, his furious eyes following my every move.

“If you take a picture it’ll last longer, Styles!” I yelled. Then I flicked him off as if posing for the photo.

His expression changed, showing he was clearly surprised at my actions. I laughed again, making sure to snort extra loud for him to hear. Then we rounded the corner and he was no longer in sight.

“I can not believe you just did that.” Amber spoke breathlessly as if she had just run a mile.

“He’s going to come after you now.” David looked down at me as he opened the door to our class.

“Good.” I laughed. “Then maybe he’ll take a picture.”
