Baby I'm A Sinner novel Chapter 19

"Mr. Black, we were just having a talk with Mr. Hudson here, who is suspected for pulling the same prank on Mr.-"

"Why would I put explosive liquid in my friend's locker?" Noah asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Someone did a really disgusting thing and instead of interrogating Noah you could maybe-" Sean started and I shook my head, because of course he would manage to get out of it.

"Mr. Black-"

"No! If someone doesn't pay for this joke I will call my parents!" Sean exclaimed and I had to bite my lip from laughing because come on.

"Well then. I believe we can dismiss Mr. Hudson and you can tell me more about the students you suspect, Mr. Geller?"

Mr. Geller sighed and nodded. Noah stood up from the chair and left the room without as much as a goodbye.

"Nice color mate. Looks good on you." Noah said and patted his shoulder.

"Why the fuck would someone put explosive chalk in my locker?" Sean asked, staring at his slimy hands.

"Maybe because you call girls fat." Noah answered and Sean looked confused. "Just saying."

And with that he was gone, but the smile on my face wasn't for the rest of the day.

***

It was two weeks later that I was informed about Noah having another party. Jake asked me (where, more like demanded) to go two days beforehand, and I had to say yes.

"What's the occasion for the party?" I asked and sat down at the lunch table across from him.

"No occasion. Just for fun." Harry said and sat down next to me, knocking our trays together as he did so. "He throws a party at least once a month for no reason. He has too much money and weed just for himself."

I rolled my eyes just as Emma and Carly joined us.

"Oh, speaking of-"

"Hey."

I looked up to see Lucas stopping next to me with a tray of food in his hands.

"Hi." I said, confused as to why he was talking to me. Maybe he greeted Harry?

"So I talked to the manager and they said that if you can work a register and resist the urge to steal money, you can work at the record store."

"That's it? With no interview?"

Lucas shrugged. "They were looking for someone anyway, they would've hired anyone who could work without really interviewing."

"And um--does it pay well?" I asked, a bit embarrassed.

"Is twelve pounds an hour alright?"

"That's great." I smiled. "Thanks Lucas."

"See you after school then. Harry can drive us right pal?" he asked and placed a hand on Harry's shoulder. Harry nodded and smiled, leaning into his touch too obviously. Lucas pulled back at that and smiled once more before he walked away towards the 'popular table'.

"Are you going to the party later?" Jade asked me and slipped her head through the crack of the door.

I was on my laptop so I stopped procastrinating on Tumblr to look up at her.

"Yeah, why?"

"Because I was wondering if you had like, maybe a tight skirt I could borrow?"

"Uh, sure? Why? Wait. Are you trying to impress a guy?" I asked smirking and pushed the laptop off my lap, before getting up from the bed and walking over to my closet.

"Well...sort of." She mumbled and stepped into my room, closing the door behind herself.

"Okay so I got a black one and a red one? Why one would you like?"

"Black one." She answered and sat down on the bed, putting a leg under herself.

I threw it at her before picking my own clothes because it was starting to get late and Zack was coming to pick us up in an hour.

"So what do you think?" I asked, holding out the clothes I wanted to dress up with in front of her. A pair of ripped skinny jeans, a Little Black Dress shirt, and a leather jacket.

"What the fuck is that? It won't even show off your boobs!"

"That's exactly the point!"

"And why would you wear long shirt with jeans? You know that's supposed to be a dress, right?"

"It's short."

"It reaches your upper thighs and goes over your ass. It's a dress."

I sighed.

"Well I'm going to wear it with these ripped skinny jeans and the black sneaker wedges. And the leather jacket."

"I agree with everything, except of the shirt. If you don't want to lose the jeans, then go with a tank top or something."

"I like my choice of clothing."

"Fine. Do you want me to do your makeup? I mastered the art of winged eyeliner."

"Sure." I smiled. "'m gonna go shower now and then you can."

"What?" I laughed. "Why would Luke like me?"

"I just have a sixth sense about things like these."

"Oh you do? What do you think of Lucas and Harry?"

"What about Lucas and Harry?"

"Do you think they have something-"

"Oh definitely."

I smiled, "Me too."

"Carly and I call them Larry."

"Larry?"

"You and Luke would be Ruke."

I scrunched my nose up. "That sounds--ugly. So tell me about the guy you want to impress tonight."

"I'll tell you if anything happens."

"Okay then." I said, pouting.

"Don't pout now, let me do your lashes and then we can go."

After she applied some mascara on me, I looked in the mirror and thanked her for doing my makeup.

"We'll be back tomorrow afternoon." Jade told my parents when we got downstairs a few minutes later.

"Why?"

"It's a sleepover kind of thing. Goes on until the morning." She explained as she put her coat on.

"Okay then. Take care and call me if you want me to come pick you up." My dad said, looking at me.

Why was he looking at me?

I rolled my eyes and said goodnight, before I followed Jade out of the house. Zack was already waiting in front of our gate. Jade and I got into the backseat, next to Jake and Emma. Carly was in the front seat, smiling and greeting us as soon as we opened the door.

"Bitch, your makeup is an A plus tonight." Jake complimented.

"Thanks, I can see your nipples through that tight shirt."

"That's what I was waiting for." He smirked and winked.
