Bad Boy Isn’t My Type

God! What has happened to you !

” Uh thanks……” Then there was a pin drop silence. It lasted for 1 sec…… 2…… 3… 4…

” Uh…… Are you and Vincent together…… I mean…… is he your…… boyfriend!?” He stammered, still looking at me without blinking.

” No…… no I am not his girlfriend” I laughed nervously.

” Then at the party……?”

” Oh it’s nothing…… my friend knows him that’s it… we are nothing…”

” Uff…… that’s a relief……” Hayden relaxed, his lips curved to a smile.

” Excuse me…!?” I asked him confused and amused by his words. Suddenly he came closer to me. I was feeling uncomfortable now.

” Well you know fresher’s party is about to happen…… so…… I want you to be my date…” he whispered it into my ears in his deep husky voice. I almost shivered.

Did I hear it right……!???

He is asking me to out I mean as a date…?? Well nobody asked me that…… before…… I was blushing now.

” Why me…… there are so many girls in our college……”I asked shyly.

“Uh …… I mean…… my friends are already paired, I have no one else…… and they are forcing me…… to come in pair…… I have no choice…… they don’t understand…… you see they are stubborn…… besides you are beautiful and worth it…… I can proudly take you as my date”

” It will be my honour, if a beautiful lady like you be my date” he bowed making it the situation dramatic. I was blushing hard now. No guy treated me like this before. And there’s Vincent…… that jerk. He should learn from Hayden……ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Umm…… ok…… I will be…… your date…… in fresher’s party…” I said nervously and blushing heavily.

” So it’s a Yes!? You will be my date…?” He was excited and his face lit up.

“Um…… yeah…… I will be your …… date… in the FRESHER’S PARTY” I exaggerated the last words, I didn’t want him to be mistaken…… thinking…

Mistaken for what huh!?

For accepting to be his girlfriend?

You want that right Jen!

What no!

Come on he is handsome…… a nice gentleman…… what do you need……

No! I have to stay single…… don’t forget why you came to Hunsberg University…… just shut up and complete your goal…… it’s for your own good……

You shouldn’t waste on these stuffs…… love is not made for you Jennie…… it’s only for rich people…… you can’t afford love…… not at least at this period of time……

Suudenly I came out of my thoughts when he grinned widely, I guess he was happy…… he is so cute and charming…

” Well you didn’t finish our dance last night…… so let’s dance” suddenly he snaked his hands around my waist and turned me round and round.

I giggled by his actions. We were moving, without any music, laughing…… humming the song. He made me feel good…… my mind was free now…… enjoying the moment.

” You know about the race…… happening on the west side of the city…?”

“Yeah I know Rose told me, isn’t it illegal…?” I asked amused.

” Yeah it is, but most of the cool stuffs are illegal. It’s a big match everybody from different colleges, from all around the city, come to race.” he said facing me.

“Will you join me, I mean I am participating the race for the first time…… I would be happy if you come to cheer me up” He rubbed his hand on his neck nervously. Why is he so cute!??

” I’m sorry but I can’t come, I have some work to do ”

” Ah…… please…… please…… it’s my first match…… you see I turned 18 and now I can participate in this match…… can’t you come at least as my friend” he showed his puppy eyes and whining like a baby. Why is he so cute…… stop it…….

“But—”

” No but…… you are coming and that’s final” he grabbed my arms and started dragging me out of the terrace.

“Hayden……”

” Nope I am not listening……”

” Slow down atleast……”

He made me climb his car, and we were off to West side of city. He headed down a long ground path way in the woods that let us deeper and deeper into encompassing dark.

After 10 minutes of rocky ride on a bumpy road, the forest gave way to a clearance filled with parked cars. In the distance, the crowds of people stood by what I assumed was a track, which ran around a farm. We got out of the car, we were greeted by icy cold air…… I could see sun was setting slowly…

“Woah…….” I shivered but it wasn’t only because of the temperature. I took in the people surrounding us, adrenaline pumping through me.

They looked like the kind of people I would never willingly associate myself with. Most of them were dressed fully in black and wearing winter leather jackets, looking like they could crush me with their fingers if they wanted to.

Most of them were much older than us, menace carved into their faces. I double checked if my phone was in my pocket, feeling as it if was my only means of rescue if anything went wrong, and I followed Hayden, who headed to a nearby groups of guys.

He brought me closer towards him, snaking his one of his hand on my waist possessively, as if I would get lost in this place.

“Hey guys! Meet Jennie, the girl I talked about……” The whole group was looking at me and I blushed to the roots of my hair.

My eyes went to a tall guy, and to the guy next to him, another guy smoking a cigarette as he was leaning to a girl next to him, and another guy who was again…… tall.

” Oh look here’s our chocolate boy…… with his girlfriend” the tall guy said out loud, pointing at Hayden.

” What no…… she is not…… she is just a friend” Hayden blushed and I was turning into a tomato. He started introducing me to them one by one.

“Let me show you everything around here, I know it’s your first time watching a race……” Hayden smiled at me, and excused his friends.

There were few cars nearby, some people were getting ready for race…… Hayden was explaining all the things in race…… I was tensing because of the atmosphere created here…… I had never came here before.

I was very nervous. I clutched one of my hand on Hayden’s arm and other on his palm of same arm. He noticed I was getting nervous, so he gave a peck on my forehead reassuring that everything is fine…… and he is there for me.

Suddenly I saw a red Dodge Challenger Hellcat pull up around fifty yards away from us. There were many group of girls flocking the car, half of them wearing black leather skirts and leather jackets that fit their perfectly proportioned bodies like a glove.

Two persons were coming out of that car, they started taking off their helmet and ran a hand through their messy hair. I froze…… and my eyes widened……

Blake and Vincent!??

Vincent was looking immensely attractive with is spiky dark hair with the sides shaved close and black clothes that added to his appeal. That made him look like he came right out of a movie.

Was he this handsome all the time!?

I never noticed this before……

how could you…… the every moment I shared with him was scary…… I can’t gawk at somebody while having a panic attack…… he always made me feel like he would love to kill me anytime.

Then suddenly his eyes landed on me. His face twisted in raw pain, and his eyes flashed with liquid anger. My skin started tingling with stranger awareness, I always reacted this way whenever Vincent was around me, it was out of pure fear. Vincent’s eyes were liquid fire as he watched me, stripping me of everything.

His eyes travelled through my face to my arm!? Shit!

I forgot I was still clutching my hands on Hayden’s arms. I hurriedly left his arm nervously.

Why am I so nervous……!? Why did you leave Hayden’s arm…!? Are you afraid of Vincent!?

No I am not…… yes you are…… no…….

” Here see this…… the green Mustang…… it’s really cool and…” Hayden turned me towards the right side of my view pulling me by my waist.

Hayden was lost in his own world and he was explaining me continuously unaware of the situation. In the corner of my eye, I saw Vincent and Blake coming in our direction, and I grew very still, my breath stuck in my throat.

“Please don’t stop. Just go somewhere far, far away”

They were just few feet away from us, I tried my hardest to ignore them……

” You see I am nervous it’s my first race…… I really want to win it. I am so excited……” Hadyen looked at me with excited face.

” Don’t worry…… you will—”

“Hey kid!” Blake interrupted us. Hayden and I recoiled in shock. Hayden suddenly removed his hand from my waist.
