The Bad Boy Protects Me (Complete)

Hailey's P.O.V I kept my head down, eyes on the ground as I walked into school cause I knew people would be talking and laughing at me. I never wanted to show them that they were getting to me. You see I have never exactly fitted in but people left me alone, maybe a remark here and there. Only reason for that was because of who my boyfriend was…Joshua, he wasn’t a jock or anything like that, he seemed to fit in everywhere he went, popular in school which made me wonder why he ever wanted me when he could get any girl he wanted cause he was a good looking guy…your typical blonde hair and blue eyes with a smile to die for and a body to match. I found the answer to that question out a couple of days ago…he was only ever after one thing…my virginity. There was barley a single virgin in my year, or the year below me, it was like a trend in this school to have sex…everyone competing to see who could lose their virginity first, it was really sad if you think about it and desperate. Anyway back to where I was…Joshua, my now ex, we were together for six months. I thought he loved me…silly me. I never gave into him, I wasn’t ready for sex, not right now anyway…Joshua however his virginity was long gone when he was 14. He said he understood…told me no pressure, only when I am ready. But I guess he got tired of waiting, when I told him only last week I still wasn’t ready he said again he understood, turns out it was all a front. I went into school the next day and he was with some cheerleader, making out with her, two lockers down from mine. He told everyone in the entire school that I was still virgin, a prude…telling everyone he never liked or wanted me, he was only using me to try take my virginity from me. He made me the laughing stock of the entire school. The last few days have been hell from me. I could feel everyone watching me, hearing them whisper and laugh at me but I had a strange feeling that someone was staring at me harder than everyone else. I looked up and I was right. I was met with a guy dressed in black skinny jeans, black top and a black leather jacket staring at me. I had no clue who he was. I had never seen him around here before and if he was from around here I would have remembered him, he stood out from the crowds. His hair and eyes were dark too. There was a darkness to him, I could feel it. He had a tattoo of an eagle on the side of his neck, I could see the outline of other tattoos too. His eyes wouldn’t leave me and it was making me uneasy. As uneasy as I was feeling I couldn’t take my eyes off him. I could see all the other girls checking him out as they went by but he never even looked at them…not once. “Move prude.” I heard a familiar voice his from behind me…Joshua I never responded or looked at him, just put my head back down, going towards my locker. I was trying not to cry. I loved him with my whole heart, still do and the fact that he made me believe he loved me too when he never did made this full thing hurt even more. I glanced up to see if the mysterious guy was still standing at the same place but he had disappeared, nowhere in sight. I don’t know why I was looking for him. I made my way to my locker, opening it to put my stuff in that I didn’t need to later in the day. I closed my locker over “Hi.” I heard a voice next to me, making me jump, letting out a small squeal, making people look at me again. I looked to see who it was and was met with the mysterious guy from a few moments ago standing against the locker, a smirk playing on his lips. I swallowed hard at the sight of him, he was dark and sexy…not the sort of guy that catches my eye usually, the complete opposite from Joshua. “Um…hi.” I whispered out, feeling myself blush “Why you blushing I only said hi to you?” he chuckled “You…you scared me.” I stuttered out “I’m Avery.” He said no emotion to his voice “Um…I am…um Hailey.” I stuttered out “Cool. See you around babe.” He winked, walking away from me What just happened? I stood there, not known what to do or think. He had left me speechless. I had to pull myself together and get to class before I end up being late. I rushed off to class, taking a seat in the corner, out of everyone’s way. Joshua was in this class, also Mandy the cheerleader that Joshua was now seeing, actually they could have been seeing each other longer for all I know. I could feel him looking at me. As much as I never wanted to look back at him I ended up doing it. When I did he smirked, wrapping his arm around Mandy, kissing her passionately…the way he used to kiss me. I could see the smug look on his face as he did. I shook my head, turning away from them, wiping a couple of stray tears away before anyone noticed. “Hailey you OK?” I heard my best friend I had Layla ask me I nodded, not looking at her cause she would see right through me. She took hear seat next to me, placing her hand on my shoulder, making me look at her, a sympathetic look on her face “Hailey you can do better than him.” She smiled “Yeah right. He was never really mine so I can’t do better than someone I never actually had.” I sighed, again trying not to cry. I wanted this day to hurry up and end. The bell rang but no sight of the teacher, she was probably running late, she usually is. “Have you seen the new guy?” she asked “New guy?” I asked, wondering if she meant Avery “Yes Avery or something his name is.” She said “Yes I met him before class. Who even is he?” I asked “No one really knows. Apparently he is a not so good guy. This is his last chance to attend school and get into shape or he is going to Juvi.” She said “Apparently he has been expelled from three schools in the last year.” She said “For what?” I asked “Fighting. Vandalism. Theft. Sleeping with one of the teachers.” She said “What? Really?” I asked shocked “Yes that is what everyone is saying. He is meant to be trouble, the kind of guy people should stay away from but he has caused a lot of excitement around her. A lot of the girls want him…attracted to the full bad boy thing…idiots that they are. Why would you wanna get involved with someone like that?” she said shaking her head in disapproval He can’t be that bad can he? People are probably making up stories and have no clue why he is here and what he is like. Then again I could believe the full bad boy thing. I got that feeling from him. “Yeah idiots.” I said agreeing with her Though to be honest with you I couldn’t get him out of my head. I don’t know what it was, his dark eyes…the darkness to him was intriguing me which is not a good thing. It is not like it matters anyway I am sure he will stay away from me. I got pulled out of my thoughts when the teacher walked in, getting the lesson started. I wanted this class to be over, get me away from Joshua and Mandy for an hour or two before I have my last two classes with them both.
