annoying, yet oddly catchy song in the history of music.
I quickly get up, and get ready for the day. I'm excited because, today IS FRIDAY, which means the races are tonight. I'm more than excited about it. I have no idea what I'm going to wear, but I decide I will stress about that after school.
I ride with Stephan again, which is quickly becoming part of my normal routine.
“You look good,” he says, looking at my legs. Today, I'm wearing a short jean skirt.
“I'm up here.” I try to sound offended, but I'm mostly turned on. I like it when Stephan looks at me like that. I will wear short skirts everyday as long as he continues.
“I'm pretty sure you're down there too.”
I try not to laugh, but I can't help it. “Oh my god, Stephan, you are my favorite person. Seriously.”
He smiles, and I swear I feel my stomach drop all the way down to my feet. “The feeling is mutual.”
Deep breath, Scarlett.
WOW.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I like Stephan a 100 times more now.
“You ready for the races tonight?” he asks.
I nod, still trying to catch my breath.
“Wear something sexy. It'll distract the other drivers,” he winks.
“Will it not distract you?” I flutter my eyelashes at him.
He thinks for a second. “On second thought, you should probably wear baggy sweat pants and a t-shirt.” He pauses. “Actually, you'd still be distracting. You're just too damn hot.”
“Ok, well I'll do my best to look hideous.”
“Hey, I don't mind being distracted. You're a good distraction . If I crash and die, I will die happy.”
I put on my best serious face. “Don't crash your car before I get a chance to drive it.”
“It's a good thing you're pretty, cause if you weren't, I'd make you walk home from school today,” he says, as he pulls his car into an empty spot.
“So what if I didn't have my looks anymore? Like maybe my face gets burnt in a fiery explosion...”
He shakes his head sadly, “I'd have to dump you.”
I laugh, because I know he's joking. “You know, Stephan, we actually have to be dating for you to dump me. And I'm pretty sure you've never asked me to be your girlfriend.”
“That hurts, babe.”
I roll my eyes and get out of his car, laughing the whole time.
12:03 pm
I just want you for your body
At lunch, I get a call from Alec, so I decide to skip lunchroom drama and just talk to him instead.
“Hey, gorgeous,” Alec greets me.
“ALEC! I seriously miss you!”
“Me too,” he says sadly. “But hey, I'm coming next week ! I'm going to hand deliver your car.”
I let out a squeal. “Oh my gosh! I can't wait! Seriously.”
“I should be there Friday, so don't make plans! You're mine the whole weekend .”
“I actually have plans on Friday night,” I say. “But you're totally invited!”
He laughs. “Do you already have a high school boyfriend?”
“No,” I say quickly, then add, “Not yet.”
“Yet?” I can practically see him rolling his eyes through the phone. “Tell me about him.”
I sigh dreamily. “Oh, Alec, he's amazing . You will love him. He's super hot . But he's so much more than just a pretty face, and nice body. He makes me laugh. He actually listens to me. He doesn't like me because I'm Scarlett Ryan, Rock Star. He likes me because I'm Scarlett Ryan, Person.”
“I can't wait to meet him! And if he breaks your heart, tell him that I will hurt him.”
I laugh, because Alec is small. “He's twice your size!”
“Fine. I'll have my bodyguard hurt him. But hey, I have to go. I can't wait to see you next weekend!”
“Me too! Love you!”
“You too.”
I hang up, and jump when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see Stephan standing there. I feel my face turn red. “How long have you been standing there?”
He smiles. “Long enough to know that I'm hot, but so much more than that.”
“Gah!” I want so badly to hide my face.
“I can't believe it. Scarlett Ryan has a crush on me !” He jokes with me.
A crush?
