Chapter 1
Sigh, high school. The devil's play house where he can toy with any poor soul he wants because well, those souls can't do anything about it.
"Lightening is formed-" oh hell no! She really can't be teaching this again. Don't get me wrong, I love Life Science but this is like the hundredth time she is telling us this. Every single year she repeats the same thing, yes maybe half of us have forgotten it but that's why we have textbooks, to revise with!
I tune out her voice because I really don't care anymore. West Haven High School is the devil's toture house, which is kind of ironic considering the name of it. You probably think that I'm being overly dramatic but you don't go through these halls. Thank god I'm a senior now.
The bell rings, signalling the end of class one. Ugh! Five more death holes to go through. I pack my stuff up and walk out just like everybody else expect for those who want to ask questions,
Its the first day of my last year in school yet I already feel so drained to the core. I see familiar faces. Not even the freshmen are new.
When you live in a small town you know everyone and everyone knows you, sadly. Jackson City ( its a town not a city, the founder was just being a fool) is like really small and particularly unknown since I was dragged and forced to live here it gets boring like really fast.
"Did you hear about the gay guy who got stoned last month?-" some random girl says,
"Omg! I did but I still feel bad for that lesbian couple who got shot last year." Random girl number two says.
"You shouldn't! Homosexuals are the devil himself." Random number three says and I suddenly wish I was a girl so I could smack her. They are near my locker so I just slam it shut, startling them.
"Oh hey Mason." Random girl number three bats her fake lashes at me.
"Don't talk to me." She flinches at me comment while I just walk past her.
There is something wrong with everyone in this town. Not everyone is homophobic here but things like the gay guy and the lesbian do happen. Every. Single. Year! And the mayor won't do shit about it. Whatever, its none of my business.
As I walk to my next class the teenagers in the hall move away from me. They leave space which is just them slamming their backs against the locker, with terrified looks. Even the freshmen know the drill.
You see, my name is Mason Longwood. The captain of the football team, age 17, one of the hottest guys in this school ( according to the girls) and I'm feared here. I made a reputation for myself when I got to middle school as the baddest kid around. I'm not bad, I'm scary and have serious anger issues but that's something I'll never admit.
I was born in Italy but I'm American, I really didn't want to come to this country. Okay that's a lie, I really didn't want to come to this town!
Your grandmother just died, sweetie. We have to bury her in America, okay? I don't remember crying because I didn't. I loved my granny very much but I just didn't have the tears for her but I do miss her. A lot.
I walk into my History class to see that I'm the first one there. As usual. I love history, something about learning what the humans before us did wrong makes me feel special, like I'm truly not a fuck up because Hitler was at fault for World War II while I'm the cause of my sister's departure... Not so bad. But I mostly love learning about the past and it's people, how they did their things without technology. Its truly fascinating.
"Ah, Mr. Longwood. Early as usual." Ms. Seth smiles at me. She's kind of the only one I say more than a sentence to in this school. All because she helped me back in my freshman year when my home was breaking. She found me in the toilet crying and well she became a safe haven in a way.
I smile, "always Ms. Seth." She shakes her head at me with a bright smile.
"Its Mrs. Reigns to you now, Mason." She squeals and my eyes widen, "he finally asked me to marry him!" She flashes her diamond ring at me. Kelly has been with her boyfriend, Josh Reigns, for six years now and they are head over heels for each other that it's sickening.
"Wow, that's incredible! I'm happy for you." I walk up to her and give her a hug which she returns immediately.
She laughs, "just so you know, you are invited to the wedding." I smile and thank her.
I walk to my sit which is right in front for her desk. I watch with a smile as she twists her ring around her finger with a blinding smile. Kelly Seth - Reigns- is very beautiful that I even had a small thing for her at the beginning of my high school year but I got over it when I got a huge crush.
Mrs. Reigns has emerald green eyes and beautiful wavy blonde hair that reached her waist, her lips are natural pink, her cheeks highly defined. In other words she was breathe taking. Her body was to die for, with her huge but not too big boobs, her slim waist, wide hips and her bubble butt she was...hot! But I'm over it, I'm just admiring beautiful creatures.
I didn't even notice when someone sat next to me until I got pushed on the shoulders. I turn my head to him with my nose flared up,
"Woah, Longwood. Don't eat me. I'm just here to say hi." Oh why Lord above. Why?! Out of everyone that could have bothered me this week, why did it have to be him.
"Fuck off, Jung." I spat and focus on something else.
"Okay, fine. Moody bitch." He grumbles before standing up to sit with his friend who's name I can't remember.
Peter Jung is the only one in this entire school, hell in this entire town, who isn't affected by my reputation. He is the a complete opposite of me; calm, understanding, and smart. Don't get me wrong, I'm really smart but compared to him I'm nothing.
I snap my head to the back when I hear that annoyingly beautiful laugh. I watch as he flicks his chocolate brown hair to the side, his smooth skin and pink lips. My heart stops beating the moment his enchanting grey eyes met my dull green ones. He smiles at me.
I turn back with heated cheeks. You see aside for Peter Jung being half Korean and Australian, the captain of the soccer team, 18 years old and my complete opposite, he so happens to be the person I have a huge crush on...
Yeah, I know. Fuck my life, right?
Oh let's not forget that he is totally completely straight so...
I sigh and run my hand through my messy pitch black hair just then I meet Ms. Seth- I mean Mrs. Reigns knowing emerald eyes. I give her a watery smile and she smiles too.
All I want this year is to have him as far as possible. I just want to get away from this hell hole without thinking or even smelling his fresh earthly scent. Oh God, please just do that for me...
Sounds interesting so far! I love the enemies to lovers vibe going on lol
