Free The Bad Boy by Evan Kelsey

radio,
lowering the music.
    Jared looked over
at me and smirked, “My dad is obsessed with Mustangs.”
    I quirked an
eyebrow, “And he trusts you to drive?” If I was obsessed with
something, there would be no way I would let anyone touch it.
Especially if that person was Jared.
    He shrugged
putting on his blinker and turning left. “He’s more into the older
ones. That’s why I took this one, it isn’t really important to
him.”
    I nodded
pretending that made any sense. “Makes perfect sense.” I laughed
sarcastically.
    “ I
forgot your brain is incapable of understanding things Emilie. My
bad.”
    When we pulled up
to the house and got out of the car Jared had a red imprint of my
hand across his cheek while I stood their laughing. “God, you are
violent tonight.”
    “ Yeah,
well.” I shrugged closing the door and moving towards the front of
the house where a couple of people were. The party was mostly
inside because it was a chiller night tonight.
    Jared grabbed my
arm and pulled me back. “Wow slow down. Why are you running off on
me?”
    ‘ Because my cheating physco ex-boyfriend will hurt me if I show
up with you.’ I thought but quickly shook my head and came up with
a lie. “Hailey is waiting for me and I rather not keep her
waiting.” Switch Hailey with Conner and I would be telling the
truth.
    Jared dropped my
wrist nodding. “Fine.” I smiled and went to keep walking when he
pulled me towards him again. “But I better get one dance by the end
of the party. Got it?”
    “ Sure.” If Conner isn’t around, which I doubt, I thought to
myself.

    Leaving Jared
behind, I walked up the front porch steps. I was thinking of ways
to get Conner off my back tonight when it hit me. We were at a
party. A high school party. Obviously there was going to be alcohol
and I could get Conner drunk enough where he won’t even know if I
am with him or not. It was the only thing that I could think of at
last minute and I was just going to have to wing it.
    “ Hey
Emilie. You look good tonight!” I looked to my left and saw a kid
from my gym class; I think his name was Craig. I never really
talked to him before, maybe a quick smile but never a
conversation.
    “ Thanks.” I smiled and started to push open the door when he
signaled me to come over to him. Biting back a groan I looked at
the door then to him and made my way over quickly. What could he
possibly want from me?
    I smiled at the
two other guys he was with who I’m pretty sure are Kyle and Theo.
These kids were more of the druggie popular kids who don’t play
sports but know how to party and throw goods one. I usually don’t
go to theirs because they mostly end up with the cops showing up.
They get their popularity from being known as having the best
parties, which I kind of fine stupid.
    “ Why
don’t you hang out with us for a bit? We barely talk anymore.”
Craig smirked his eyes traveling to my legs. I also forgot to
mention Craig was a man-whore and I was starting to get creeped out
by the looks he was giving me.
    I shook my head.
“I’m sorry but I have Hailey inside waiting for me and everyone
knows how she gets when someone keeps her waiting.” I laughed a
little nervously. I took a step back as Craig raised from his seat,
coming closer to me.
    He shrugged
smiling at me and then I realized his eyes were bloodshot and he
had a goofy grin on. He was stoned. “Ten minutes, fifteen tops.” He
reached behind him on the little side table and picked up a joint
that I failed to notice. “Smoke this with us and then you can go
find Hailey. Have you ever been high before?”
    Yes, I thought to
myself. I had tried weed before with Hailey and it was okay but I
never really was into it. But I certainly wasn’t going to do it
with a bunch of guys who were already high either. I know that
would be a stupid idea.
    I shook my head
and started going back towards the door. “Nah, I’m not up for it.
But you guys have fun and I’ll see you later?”
