Mr. Player meets Ms. Trouble by C. Joyce (popular books to read .TXT) 📕

plastic surgeon!" Her hand was formed into a tight fist, that was ready to strike at both of them. Something blocked Kira from breaking Cassy's nose. Ace. 

 

Ace stood there blocking Cassy from view, "Woah there no need for violence. Cassy just say sorry, I mean it is your fault for the stain." Cassy eye rolled and apologized, not in a real tone. I have a feeling we weren't going to get a real apology from her. "Here," he stared at me with his sea blue green eyes, cliche and all his glaze melted me. Ace handed me a handkerchief, "use this to wipe off the pizza stain."I took the handkerchief with my shaky hand.

 

Kira scowled at Ace and grabbed both of me and Stella's arm, "lets get out of here."

 

"But I never even got a bite out of my salad!" Stella whined that Kira with sadness in her eyes.

Kira pulled me and Stella to the nearest washroom. "Nice guy my ass," Kira kept muttering, "he was pretending to save his reputation."

 

"He was not!" I defended Ace while wiping the pizza stain with the napkin he gave me. "Come on, admit it, he was nice enough to give me this napkin." I lifted the used napkin to her eye level.

 

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever..."  In the washroom mirror we saw Stella struggling to carry our books. "Stell, just give me those books." Kira grabbed the books out of Stella's arms. For a girl like Kira, she was pretty strong for her size.

 

Stella started whining, "b-bu-but how am I suppose to practice for gym then?" 

 

"Practice for gym?" I questioned back at her. Stella Marks a girl that does three different sports, needs to practice for gym? I would be the person that should be saying that instead.

 

Kira started to laugh hysterical. "You, practicing for gym? Why?"

 

"Cause -" Stella paused for a minute and bite her lip. "- do you know the time Cassy Dehan fell during a cheer leading practice accident? And she broke her leg that month?" Both Kira and I looked at each other in confusion then nodded back at Stella. "I was the girl on the team that made her fell."

 

Stella looked sad like a puppy that got kicked in the face. While Kira, lets just say she laughing with tears in her eyes. "Woah. Woah. You're the reason that bitch fell?"

 

Stella lowered her head in saddness, "It was an accident."

 

Kira stopped laughing to she the mishap was making Stella feel guilty. "Dude, don't be sad about that. It's a good thing; no worries. Remember in like 7th or 8th grade when I punched her in the face and she fell backwards into the Kyle's huge punch bowl?"

 

"Yeah..."

 

"Yours was an accident, you didn't mean to. Mine, however, she had it coming for kissing my boyfriend- well ex-boyfriend on that day." Slowly walking out of the washroom Kira paused her steps and stared at me and Stella with one of her eyebrows up. "Aren't you guys coming? Come on' Lilia, be a good girl, you don't want to miss a class." She teased me for my good ways.

 

Stella and I followed with Kira's steps. Kira was right in front of me and each time someone mocked me for the pizza stain on my shirt; she thought it was a cue to give them the narstiest look to shut them up. "Do you think the stain's noticeable?" I asked them.

 

Stella tried to be nice and gave me a white lie. "Well, the stain makes a great pattern on your white shirt."

 

"It's a white shirt, what do you think?" I wouldn't see Kira's face with her back facing me; but I could tell she had a smirk because of my question.

 

When we finally reached my AP Geometry class; I told them to meet up at the parking lot when school ends. My seat was in the back close to the window, just the way I like it. People quickly came into the classroom and sat down before the bell rang.

 

Mrs. Janet walked into the classroom, carrying our tests that we took yesterday. "Usually I would say 'Good morning class' but your test scores gave me a migraine before going to bed. Your scores...how to I say this in the nicest way possible? Your test scores were pathetic excuse for you Sophmores." She handed our tests back to us. "Only one person in this entire class got an A on it, a 98% even. If you got anything a C- and lower, which is most of you; your punishment is going to be text book pages 150-180 all of the questions." Mrs. Janet paced her talking and turned to my direction. "In that case, Miss Lyleson, you are out of the class punishment."

 

"I-I am?" I whispered to myself, trying to hide my joy from not having to do the assignment.

 

Mrs. Janet pulled up a long set of notes on the smartboard and she continued on, "Lilia is the only person in this entire class to get an B and higher. Now pick up your pencils and start copying these notes. Lilia as an reward you can sit back and do whatever you like until the class finishes copying their notes."

 

I did as told and started to read one of my favorite books 'Maxium Ride'. There was a light tap on my shoulder, I bought my head up to see Ace. Wait, how did I forget he's in my class? He's a smart guy, seriously, my memory lately.  

 

"Can I borrow a pencil? I lend my last pencil to Jacob in football practice , and he tought it was happy to throw it across the field." My brain just shut off for a second a two before turning back on and giving him my pencil. "Hello Kitty?" He questioned me with a smirk.

 

I gasp. "Ah - that's my little sister's-and I was borrowing it?"

 

He smiling and kind of laughing at me. "No sweat, Hello Kitty's cool." Hello Kitty's cool? That's something you rarely hear a football player say or even a regular guy for the matter. "I'll give it back to you when I'm done." Ace gave me one last small smile for turning back to his notes.

 

Hello Kitty's cool. I repeated what Ace said with a smile.

 

When class was finally over Ace gave back my pencil and thank me. He went to talk with some of his buddies; no, jocks in my school aren't idiots. Ok, fine, only half of them were idiots.  A test message popped up on my phone

 

Kira : Are you coming? It's getting late, we got an essay to write.

 

I texted back to her 'I'm coming.' Fuck,  I forgot about that essay.

The bell finally rang and I began to walk out the class to my locker. It was a daily struggle against the crowded halls of East Riverway High. I finally arrive to my locker, it was a decent size. As in the jocks could fit a poor nerd in them, but they would have to be skinny. "Let's see...I need to bring home my British Literature, Honors Geometery, Ap European textbooks-"

 

"-Talking to yourself again?" I glanced up to see Ace Aaron looking down at me. "Need help?"

 

He handed me my British Literature textbook which was on the high shelf. "Thanks." I whispered quietly, "so what are you doing here?"

 

Ace began to turn around both sides, as if he was glancing if someone was looking at us. "Well, I wanted to apologize again for Cassy. I know she can be a..."

 

"-A crude miscreant?" I finished for him.

 

Ace started to smile and did a chuckle, "I was going to just say a bitch, but crude miscreant sounds nicer. But yeah...I'm really sorry for what she did to you and for what she said to Kira. Knowing Kira though, she probably still wants to punch Cassy in the face."

 

"Oh trust me, she really does." I smiled back at him and continued to put my stuff into my book bag. I tried lifting my bag, it felt like I was carrying five pounds of rocks.

 

I guess Ace saw me struggling with my bag since he asked, "what me to carry your bag for you to your car or something?"

 

"Nah, I got it." I may had jinks myself because right after I said that and got my bag on my back, I went backwards to the floor.

 

Ace quickly lift me off the floor and took a hold on my bookbag. "Jesus, what the fuck is in your bag?"

 

"Books," I answered him. "And I don't want you carrying it. I can handle it."

 

He rolled his eyes, "yeah, sure you did. Stop being stubborn Lilia, and let me carry it to your car." Ace just said my name. He just said my name. Ok, chill. Keep calm."What about your stuff?" I asked Ace when we started walking.

 

"I finished most of my homework in study hall. Geometery homework, Mrs. Janet can bite my ass about it, don't give a crap about shapes and proofs. The Ap European homework...I'll do it in study hall." He answered back and while looking down to my height. There was a awkward silence for a second before Ace talked again to me. "How are you good at geometery?"

 

"Me? Good at it?"

 

"Yeah, you got 98% on the test that everyone failed on."

 

"I honestly hate geometery...but yeah, I had my older sister Sakura help me on it."

 

"Seriously? You're fucking lucky your older sibling's smart. My older step brother's a total dumbass at everything, seriously, he managed to set water on fire." We passed the front doors which Ace opened the door for me. Which was nice. Keep calm Lilia, god damn it! Don't ruin the moment, he just opened the door for you. That's all.I finally managed to keep myself together from my crushing moment. "Ho-How do you set water on fire?!"

 

"I dunno, you would have to ask him. Anyways where's your car?"

 

I paused my steps for a moment and eyed around the parking lots for Stella's car. I finally spotted Kira and Stella in a minute. Kira was on the hood of Stella's car, looking pissed and impatient. "Over there where Kira is." I pointed to the direction of Kira, Ace had a 'oh shit' expression. "It's fine, I can carry my bag now. And thank you for carrying it Ace." I smiled at him and grabbed it as fast as I could. I hurried off
