I barely had time to cross the threshold of the school, which I was away from for about a month due to football tournaments, and Jenice, the sexiest girl in our school, was already hanging her arms around my neck, but in total how sexy, so stupid.

- Hi handsome. - She whispered in my ear, her hand lightly playing with my hair - I missed you.

- Hey Jenice. - I replied dryly, because the conversation wasn't my favorite activity with this blonde girl

- Hope to see you tonight? - she released me from her embrace, and a fleeting smile appeared on her face

- I couldn't say no to you. - I looked at her carefully, biting my lip at the same time, the girl laughed

- You know, in fact, that there is a new girl in our class. I don't like her. Such a gloomy, more polite than God and even boast nothing.- she pulled me towards our classroom, and with the last sentence she quickly looked at me to make sure I know what she meant

- Which one is it? - I asked as we entered the biological room and looked around the room without seeing any new face

- Ugh, she's not here yet. But it'll probably be soon because she's never late. - she replied, then walked towards our bench, and I lumbered after her

I sat down comfortably on the chair, took out the necessary books and notebooks on the bench, and then leaned my head against my elbow because I felt really sleepy and I was just trying to stay awake. Suddenly, my attention was caught by a girl of medium height entering the room, with brown eyes, hair reaching slightly beyond her breasts, and her clothes very loose, because she was wearing gray sweatpants, a tight pink crop top and white sneakers. I watched her closely until the girl sat down next to Amelie, one of our class nerds.

- Nothing special, right? - Jenice moved closer to me, seeing my gaze focused on the new person

I didn't answer her anything. I'm probably going to fuck her anyway, like almost every girl in this school. This is what my stupid life is like. School, training, parties, sex. And it is like that all the time. My mother owns many hotels around the world, so she is away most of the time because she has to look after each of these places. I haven't had contact with my father for a long time and I don't even miss him, because he just disappeared from my life so suddenly, he was never interested in me, so I got used to life as if he didn't exist at all. For as long as I can remember, I have to deal with myself. Our housekeeper, Andy, is only with me at home, and she takes care of the whole house during the absence of my mother, who comes here very rarely, which also with time ceased to concern me.

I was disturbed by the slightly louder voice of the teacher who was currently sending my friend Olivier to the headmaster because of bad behavior in her lesson. I laughed. This woman is really bothered by literally everything, so during the hours with her, I just try to shut up completely and not enter into discussions with this obsolete viper at all, because I don't want to lose my place on the soccer team that I currently belong to.

As soon as the teacher was satisfied with her deed, she saw my friend leaving, she returned to the lesson, but she started writing something on the blackboard so I decided to take a look. The word "paired project" was written in big letters. Already at this point I knew what was going to happen. She looked carefully at the students, then began selecting pairs.

- Cooper Noriega. - I heard my name suddenly pronounced in a screeching voice - You will work with..

She paused for a moment and she looked at the other three. I was free, Carlos, which is probably the most boring boy in the world, Ginny who unfortunately is my cousin, which I curse every day, and this new mysterious girl.

- He's going to work with.. that lovely brunette sitting back there by the window whose name I have now forgotten. - She said with that fake smile of hers, then indicated me where to go and sit down

I took all my things and went to the person assigned to me, who I think I felt quite embarrassed about because as soon as I sat down next to her, she rested her chin on her hand, and then pretended that a blank sheet of paper was the most interesting thing at the moment. I wouldn't be myself if I left the situation like that, so I decided to talk.

- Hey. - I said calmly, glancing at the girl

- Hi. - she replied reluctantly, still completely ignoring my presence

- Can't you even look at me? - I mocked seeing her indifference towards me, which I wasn't used to

- You think I enjoy looking at you? - This time her brown eyes moved on to me and they reluctantly but carefully measured me.

I sat for a while, not knowing if it was worth speaking any more. She was different to me than the other girls in this school. Each of them was happy to answer me, she wanted to spend time with me and spend the night together as soon as possible. Meanwhile, she was damn indifferent, I didn't completely care about her. I still didn't give up.

- I'm Cooper Noriega as if you didn't hear.- I introduced myself, watching as she scribbles something on her blank sheet in anticipation of the task assigned to us by the teacher

- Yes I know. But this is not a piece of information for me to remember. - She corrected the strands of hair that fell quickly to her eyes

- And you.. - I approached her which made the girl tense - What's your name?

- Sabrina Quesada, babe. - She looked into my eyes, then smiled slyly

At this point, unfortunately, the voice of my "favorite" teacher could be heard again, who had already prepared project topics for each of the couples. She handed us a piece of paper with the exact instruction, requirements and topic to be discussed.

- You know it's working in pairs? - I asked, watching as she copied the task into her notebook

- I noticed because for about five minutes some twerp has been sitting next to me, poisoning my ass. - she was focused on what she was doing

I rolled my eyes, then sat up straight and got the other working. After a while I heard the sound of the notebook being closed, which meant that the girl had finished typing the command.

- And you take this card so that you know the plan. - she pushed the paper towards me

- Why do I need it if you do this project anyway. - I snorted bored, dreaming only about some entertainment, for example in the form of a party

- No way. If you think I'll do it for you, you are grossly mistaken. Either we do it together or I go to the teacher and tell her that you are not cooperating and that I want to do the assignment alone and then you will have a problem. - She said with a rather sharp tone of voice, drawing the paper even more towards me

In this situation, I knew that I had to agree and work with her, because if she fulfilled her other plan, not only would I have problems with the teacher, I would also have to spend too much of my precious time on this stupid project to do it myself.

The girl smiled victoriously, and then a loud bell sounded informing the students of the beginning of the twenty-minute break. The brunette hurriedly packed all her things into her bag, slid the chair behind her, and then moved quickly towards the exit, chasing Amelie.

I sat with Amelie in the huge canteen and while eating my bun, I watched the people sitting here. With every look, I tried to remember what my new friend told me about the person. Well, in one of my first days at this school, Amelie and I met after school and she told me exactly about the majority. That's why I was so dry on the boy who sat in biology class with me. I found out that this is Cooper Noriega which is definitely the most popular boy in our school. Most girls are crazy about him and dream of being his, but he treats them as toys. He's been fucking most of the girls here, but after that, he's not going to have any contact with her, maybe sex. For others, he is a conceited, arrogant, selfish asshole, because he considers himself to be unknown who and thinks he can have anything he wants. I totally don't understand what all these girls see in him, that they actually drool as he walks by. After what Amelie had told me, of course I knew I wouldn't let me be another chick for Cooper's pleasure. As soon as he gets close, I'll be dry on him, and I think he'll give up then.

- They're here. - Amelie suddenly stormed me, pointing her finger at the table at the far end of the cafeteria where Cooper and his squad were

- I don't care. - I gasped, but despite my words, I looked towards the group

It was my mistake, because unfortunately at the same moment Noriega looked at me and we made awkward temporary eye contact. He looked at me in a questioning way, then I immediately looked away and focused on eating.

- Sab .. Sab .. Sab - a friend sitting next to me stormed me

- What? - I whispered as soon as I took a bite and swallowed the last bite of my sandwich

- Cooper.. Cooper Noriega's looking at you. - She was very excited, as if she was the boy's biggest fan

- Let him watch, Amelie. That's what he has eyes for. - I tried to calm her down, then with a shake of my head I pointed to the exit from the cafeteria, which was a sign for her that I want to get out of here

I slipped my purse over my shoulder, then pulled the girl's hand toward the exit. We headed towards the classroom where we will have another lesson. This time it will be my favorite, Spanish! I know the language very well, so I have no difficulties during this lesson.

A few hours later, my longed-for lesson ended. I left the school building and made my way to my house as quickly as possible. Suddenly, however, I heard someone's rather quick footsteps behind me, and then a moment later I felt a touch on my shoulder, followed by a slight tug, causing me to turn towards the person. Unfortunately, the view did not make me very happy, because next to me I saw Cooper with that sly smile on his face. I sighed heavily.

- What do you want? - I asked quite dryly, looking the boy straight in his eyes

- If you want us to do this project together, I think we should arrange a specific day and place to do it. - he said calmly, then put a cigarette in his mouth and inhaled the smoke, which after a while blew out of his mouth

- Well, when will you find time in your busy schedule? - I asked, at which the boy softly snorted

- Come to my party today, we can talk there, because I'm currently in a hurry for training.- He announced, and then without any goodbyes or anything he went back to the school where the boys have soccer training

I set off on my way back to my home. All the time I was thinking about the boy's proposal and whether I would actually go to this party today. All in all, some entertainment would come in handy. One thing is for sure, I will not go there alone, and the person I will bring with me will be Amelie, who will agree for sure. I quickly took my phone out of my back pocket and started texting the girl. Of course, she agreed and was glad that she would be able to get closer to Alex, a boy she likes very much.

My friend and I crossed the threshold of Noriega's house, where the party was currently taking place. Loud music could be heard a few streets away. There were a lot of people here, most of them drunk. From the very entrance you could smell an intense smell of alcohol and cigarettes. We mingled with the crowd and then tried to get to the snack tables. As soon as we got there, we immediately reached for some slightly spicy snacks, and then Amelie reached for our alcohol. I was looking for Cooper, wondering if the boy would remember his words and actually get involved in this stupid project. Finally I saw him sitting on the couch with his buddies, a girl sitting on his lap kissing him on the neck, while he sipped his beer every now and then and was totally engrossed in talking. I was curious if he would notice me and whether he would "honor" me with his company for a moment.

However, it wasn't long before I could enjoy my time with my friend, because suddenly Jake Fosler, one of the boys from our class, appeared next to us. He measured me carefully with his bright, large, green eyes, then finally our eyes met.

- Shall we dance? - He stretched his hand towards me, and I waved my hand slightly and gave him my hand

The boy directed me to the dance floor where there were a lot of teenagers. One of my favorite songs was playing, so I enjoyed the fun all the more. We both had a good time keeping our hands together. We did it because we were both trying to keep our balance, because every now and then jacys dancing people were pushed on us by accident.

I felt Jake's eyes on me all the time, which, let's face it, embarrassed me at times, but I tried not to pay attention to it and had the best fun. After a while, the song ended and the boy walked a few steps closer to me and leaned in slightly to my ear.

- Thank you for dancing, beauty. - he whispered, before I could react, he disappeared somewhere in the crowd of playing teenagers

I smiled to myself, then started looking for Amelie who at some point disappeared from my sight. I walked around corridors and rooms, obviously avoiding those with a tie hung on the door handle, which meant you know what. To one room, the door was ajar, so I decided to go in there. It was a huge blue and black room. I looked around. It was quite nice here and I can say that it is most likely a men's room. I felt a slight breeze. The window leading to the balcony was open, so I decided to go in there and get some fresh air, as I had been sniffing quite a lot of smoke from cigarettes and other filth lately. I put my hands on the railing and sucked in a breath.

- Nice sight isn't it? - Suddenly I heard a slightly hoarse male voice and I shuddered a little because I didn't hear any steps

Before I could answer anything, the organizer of the event, Cooper Noriega, stood next to me. He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and calmly puffed the smoke out of his mouth, then glanced at me, reminding me that he had asked me a question.

- Yeah, you've a view of the whole city - .I commented looking around

- On the other side is a view of water.- he added, inhaling again on the smoke that he exhaled moments later

- Have you seen Amelie? - I asked as soon as I remembered why I'm actually here

- I saw her walking up the stairs with Alex. I think they went for some fuck or something.- He stubbed out his cigarette, then just like he leaned against the railing, resting the whole weight of his body on it

- Weird. - I frowned slightly

- For real. Just because you've a boring sex life doesn't mean she has to be either.- the boy mocked, seeing my reaction to the information he gave me

- You don't even know me, so how do you know what my sex life is like? - I was indignant at the stupid words of the boy - Besides what interests you at all..

- My fave topics. - He laughed, seeing my irritation, which made my nerves grow more and more

- Yes, I noticed. Probably not only topics, but also activities. After all, I'm currently chatting with the guy who fucked most of the girls in school, and I wouldn't be surprised if even in town. - I smiled artificially to end my speech

- Who are you anyway to comment my life?- you can see that this time the boy was starting to get irritated, which made me feel that it would start to get really unpleasant

- Sabrina Quesada, I've already introduced myself to you. - I said, still keeping the smile on my face

- You bark too much for your species. - he said, looking at me

- I remind you that we have a project to do together, so I advise you not to even start such conversations with me. Now I'm going to go away, pretend this conversation wasn't here and someday we'll sit down on this damn project and we'll do it the fucking best, and then each of us will go our own way. - I said confidently, then stepped off the balcony and headed towards the door

- Creep. - Cooper snorted to himself, who didn't seem to know I heard everything

- Dork! - I shouted when I was at the door and still with my back to him, she raised her palms up and showed him two middle fingers, then slammed the door behind me, I left this room
