Baby I'm A Sinner novel Chapter 6

"With talent."

I snorted and opened my locker to get my French books out.

"You know that we have French with his wife, right?"

"I know, I can't wait to see that bitch."

"Maybe she's nice."

"Of course she's nice because she's oblivious."

The bell rang and I was glad, because it meant no more hearing Jake's bitching. I was (not really) pleasantly surprised to see that a lot of people took French, including the entire football team and half of the cheerleaders. Amazing. I sat down between Amy and Jake, who was already preparing himself for the meeting with Mrs. Flack.

As soon as the late bell rang, the door opened and a woman who looked in her mid thirties came in with a bright, white smile on her face.

"Oh my goodness." Jake breathed when she placed her Bugatti bag on the desk.

"Good morning class. I'm Mrs. Flack and I'll be your French teacher."

"Does that include French kissing?"

Everyone burst out laughing, except of me. I rolled my eyes.

"I suppose you're Noah then?" she asked and Noah smirked, nodding.

Oh God give him a brain please

"Well then. Why don't we go around the room and introduce ourselves but in French? Or even better, I'll call attendance and you can do that then."

Oh goodie.

By the end of class I had to admit that I really liked Mrs. Flack because she was nice and funny. Jake, however, had another opinion of her. He even nicknamed her as 'the witch', for whatever reason unknown to me. Actually, no. I knew he was jealous of her for getting Mr. Flack's dick every night but I didn't want to say anything.

We all do inexplicable things when we're in love. Or something like love.

"There's a party at Noah's this Friday. It's his birthday." Jake said that afternoon at lunch.

"And?" I asked, not really sure where he was going with this. We (Emma and I) were never really invited to any 'cool' party, so Jake telling us this was kind of pointless. Unless he wanted to brag, which wasn't really any surprise because it was Jake.

"And, you're coming with."

"What? No we're not. Since when?"

"Since Noah said I could bring anyone."

"Did he actually say that or did he say that everyone was invited and you made of it what you wanted?"

"The second one. But it doesn't matter. He won't notice anyway because he's got the biggest house in this fucking town and there's going to be weed and we are going. It's not up for discussion."

I sighed, turning to look at Emma.

"You want to do this?"

She shrugged. "I don't have anything better to do on Friday anyway."

"Fine. But I'm not going to get drunk."

"You've never been drunk, you don't even know what it's like."

"I won't drink because alcohol tastes really b-"

"You don't drink because of the taste!" Jake exclaimed, as if I'd just offended him deeply. "You drink to get mortal!"

"What are we talking about?" Harry asked and sat down next to me, placing his tray on the table. Carly sat down across from him, next to Emma.

"Noah's party this Friday." I answered before Jake could open his mouth full of food and answer.

"Oh. I'm going too! Lucas inv-I mean, I'm-yeah."

"We should all ride together. I can get Zack to drive us there." Carly suggested as she opened her can of coke.

His eyes drifted up to look at Luke for a second, before looking back down in the cup. And I was completely panicking, because this meant that I would end up with someone I didn't know or like.

"Danielle Piper..."

He pulled the piece of paper and unfolded it.

"And Noah Hudson."

I rolled my eyes because this was so fucking cliché. The quiet girl in class was assigned with the school's bad boy for a project and fate would make them fall in love. Give me a fucking break. I knew that nor Noah or I didn't like to read, so this would be an especially difficult assignment, not to mention the fact that he probably hated me already. That is, if he knew who I was.

And he seemed to know who I was, because he turned his head and rolled his eyes at me. I knew this project, or whatever, would be a complete and utter disaster.

"I want you to discuss technical matters with your partner after class, not right now. You can get the book from the library or buy it, it doesn't matter. What's important is that you read this in three weeks. It's not that much to read and it's interesting."

"What happens if we don't read it?" Noah asked and I frowned. So he was already planning on slacking off.

"Both you and your partner get an F."

I wasn't going to let that happen, even if it meant that I'd have to do everything by myself.

When Mr. White said that class was dismissed, I stood up, determined to get some things straight with Noah.

"Hey, um, wait a minute!" I called after him in the hallway and he actually turned around, rolling his eyes at me.

God please make him get stuck like that

"So what are we going to do about the project? Because we both know that neither of us like to read."

"Look, you can read it and then just let me in on it yeah?"

"Excuse you? I am not one of those girls that will fall for your charm and do the project to get into your pants, okay?"

"You wish you'd get to see my cock princess." He laughed and turned around, walking away. I stared at his back in awe, not believing my ears. But I wasn't going to give up on this; there was no way I was failing in English because of him.
