The Bad Boy’s Favorite Girl

Chapter thirty-one

Mac’s pov

“Mr Lee, please can you come forward and solve the equation on the board?” The maths teacher called from the front of the classroom.

Our maths teacher was a young woman, maybe in her early thirties.

She had a stern look on her face with freckles just beneath her glasses. She wore a black fitted skirt and black flats.

Being called to the board to solve equations was the most annoying thing ever. It was like the teacher knew you couldn’t do it but they just have the urge to embarrass students.

I looked up from my note that was filled with drawings of a bike. I groaned inside my eyes, noticing a movement.

Elena sat on the first row, as usual, eyes glittering under the white light. She was wearing a floral green gown and a beanie. I don’t like the beanie because it hides her beautiful hair.

Focus idiot! You’re being called to the board!

Elena smiled encouragingly, nodding her head at me. I sighed, and some girls giggled beside me.

I hated it when girls did that. Just because I was the school bad boy didn’t mean I strived for attention every single time.

As usual, I ignored them walking to the board. The teacher smiled before handing me the marker. It was a question I was not familiar with at all.

I walked to the board and Tisha touched me a little and I smiled.

I looked hard at the question as I studied it before remembering that I had seen it somewhere and I could solve it because it was embarrassing to be called out and not able to solve a simple maths equation.

“Very good, Mr Lee. Keep it up and you will have a chance at graduation”. Our teacher encouraged us and at first, I was stunned at the fact that I could actually solve maths.

I feel like a fucking genius. I smiled, turning back to my seat and winking briefly at Elena, she gave me a thumbs up.

I noticed her Tisha glaring at me from beside my desk and I smirked.

I got to my seat and the teacher started again, and I zoned out once again losing myself to thoughts.

“That will be all. Please ensure to turn in your assignment tomorrow morning”. Mrs. Johnson concluded, before leaving the class, the bell sounded signaling lunch break.

A lot of the students left the class, not before casting me a look. Especially the girls.

“You totally nailed that. I’m proud,”. Elena came to stand in front of me.

“I’m a genius,” I answered, grabbing my books before standing up. “Are you heading to the cafeteria?” Tisha asked, coming to stand beside me as she licked my hands with me and faced me.

I didn’t want to head to the cafeteria yet but Elena was already walking away.

“Yeah,” I answered, and Tisha led the way while I trotted after her.

The hallways were almost empty as everyone filled the cafeteria. On the walls, I noticed club invitations and posters.

When we got to the cafeteria, Tisha took a seat beside me and I glanced around for my friend, waiting for them to come over.

“Do you like her?” Tisha suddenly asked and I realized I had been looking at Elena who had just walked into the cafeteria with her tray in hand.

“What has gotten into you? When did I ever like a girl?” I laughed at that and she smiled

“I thought as much, but it’s obvious she likes you,” she said and I looked back at Elena who was taking a seat at the end of the room, picking out a novel from her bag as she began to read.

“Have you met her? She hated my guts!” I said, laughing at the thought of Elena ever liking me. It was close to impossible.

“Then why don’t we check it out.” Tisha smiled, before standing on the table and I looked at her in shock

“What the hell are you doing?”

“Just checking if she likes you,” She shrugged before stomping her feet on the table, gaining everyone’s attention.

“Hey guys! I have something to say!” She yelled and I grabbed onto her to stop her from whatever it was that she wanted to do but she shrugged me off and I noticed Elena put down her book and glanced at us in confusion.

But she only scoffed, pointing at Elena. “Hey everyone! I would like to ask a special person a few questions today and I want them to answer very truthfully,” Tisha shouted and everyone started talking amongst themselves as they looked around.

I was stunned by the words. I hadn’t noticed that Tisha had been keeping an eye on me in class lately. Had she planned to do this all along?

“Stop this Tisha! Since when have you become like this?!” I yelled but Tisha smiled at me.

“Chill, you said she doesn’t like you so why are you acting all nervous? I just need to hear it from her.” She said before she turned to Elena who sat frozen on her seat.

“Elena it seems you’ve started falling for the school bad boy. And don’t you dare lie to me, I’ve noticed you stealing glances at him during classes. I know you went to his house. I saw you both last night when I went to the park. Like some kind of couple.” Tisha laughed before taking out her phone and showing it to everyone else.

“See. I even took a photo of them together. But that’s alright everyone falls for Mac anyway and I just wanted to know if you like him. There’s no harm in admitting you like someone. Am I not right? ” Tisha asked, laughing maniacally as everyone started murmuring amongst themselves.

Elena stood there frozen looking. And I noticed the way her shoulders shook as if angry and sad at the same time. I ran to her, completely ignoring the look everyone was giving me as I got in front of her but she hid her face from me before running out of the cafeteria.

I chased after Elena as she wiped her tear face cheek before going to her locker to grab her things.

She was leaving school right now because she couldn’t handle being here for a second.

And I stood away from her, I didn’t know what to say but it felt like I shouldn’t just do anything.

I saw her grab her things, take the worker’s door, and slide out through the nearest exit. The sun was blazing hot so she used one of her textbooks to cover my face, not seeing anyone around. I slipped through the school gate before making her way to a restaurant nearby.

The clinic was the only place she could be right now to calm herself. I started the walk not noticing she was being followed by a red familiar car.

I stopped, and it stopped too so I turned towards it. Liam sat in the driver’s seat with a sly grin. He was wearing dark shades and had a cigarette between his lips.

“Skipping classes? You didn’t look like someone who did” He said, stopping the car.

I saw her tears run down her cheeks and she nodded.

Liam immediately got down from the car and she couldn’t help running into his arms. His keen muscles pressed against her as she cried into his chest.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

He was way taller than her so her head rested on his broad chest.

I felt jealous run through me at the thought of her hugging another guy that wasn’t me and it annoyed me that it was someone that I hated. Someone I despised.

I felt broken, rejected, and insulted but I could only watch from the sidelines.
