Exposed novel Chapter 18

"I really like your smile," Theodore says as he plops next to me. I raise an eyebrow.

"Woah. What a nice greeting." I smile and he chuckles.

"May I?"

"You may." I grin and he pecks my lip.

A series of gasps make themselves known across the cafeteria table.

"I knew it!" Roy jumped on the table and Theodore smirks.

"Knew what?" I ask.

"You two are in," he makes wild love gestures and I raise an eyebrow.

"We're not in love," I tell him...

"Well, you're dating."

"No, we're not," I say coolly.

"But we could..." Theodore says suddenly standing and I gape as he gets down on one knee.

"Theodore, what're you doing." I eye the cafeteria as it falls quiet.

"Ms. Quensilla?" I cough awkwardly.

"Yes?" I croak.

"Will you go out with me?" He asks hopeful and I choke as a necklace shines, aiming to blind me.

"You know you're not proposing right? It's just a date." I say and he rolls his eyes.

"Shut up. I wanna give you a necklace alright. Now tell me yes."

"No," I smirk and he gapes as the whole cafeteria starts to whisper. "No, because yes is way too simple.  If you got a necklace for me I might as well give you something in return right. May I?" I mock his words and he grins.

"You may." He stands, and I do too, I grab his cheeks and pulls him onto my lips, the table and the room lit up with laughter and cheers.

Pulling away from him, he gives me a lopsided grin before I turn around, allowing him to clasp the necklace around my neck.

Rose petals began to fall and I furrow my eyebrows.

"Theodore seriously? It's only a date. You. Asked. Me. On. A. Date."

"I know that, but I have to make it spectacular because you deserve only the best...after what I did." He murmurs the last part and I sigh, kissing his cheek softly.

"You're just too sweet."

"Oh my just get a room!" Z'hiem yells and Lauren simply averts her eyes and offers me a smile. I frown at Z'hiem and Chase rolls his eyes, smacking him behind his head.

My door rang with a series of knocks as someone stood behind it. I smile, eyeing myself one more time before pulling it open.

"Why hello there," Theodore says leaning against the door.

"Hey..."His eyes scan my body and I blush as they darken, before reaching my eyes.

"Damn, don't you look sexy." He murmurs. "Are you sure you're going out with me?"

I slap his arm, rolling my eyes and allowing him to step in.

I was dressed in a long T-shirt and shorts. I paired them with some thigh-high boots and threw my hair in a high ponytail.

He had a leather jacket and destroyed black jeans with a black T-shirt.

He said we weren't doing the fancy thing and I was relieved. I wasn't the type of girl for steak and dumplings.

He kissed my cheek, before grabbing my hand and pulling me outside. I lock the door and gape at the bike sitting in front of me.

"I'm driving," I state and he scoffs.

"As if." I groan and he chuckles. "Whenever I'm in the mood to die, I'll call you."

I pretend to mock him and he climbs on.

"Safety first." He hands me a black helmet and I put it on. I frown as my ponytail is slightly irritated by this. I ignore it, as he puts his helmet on, and revs the bike. I was nearly squealing with excitement, as he pulls out and flows through the traffic.

It was...exhilarating.

We were zooming at a pretty good pace and I can't help but tighten my hold on Theodore.

He chuckles, "you okay there babe?" He asks and I blush at the endearment.

"I'm good," I assure him.

We arrive at an area, littered with bikes, and I wasn't the only girl there. Mostly all bikes had girls behind them and I actually realized what this is.

"We're racing?" I squeal.

"Well, I'm losing today cause there's no way, I am going to risk your life." He scoffs and I frown.

"Aw, cmon." I drag.

"No."

"Let's just do it."

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"I'll kiss you," I smirk and he goes silent, before sighing.

"Okay fine. But if I suspect something, even if the slightest bit of fear we're going as fast as a turtle on land." I chuckle and whistles float my way. Even from those with girls at their backs.

How disrespectful.

I could feel Theodore tense and as soon as the horn blew, we were gone. He didn't have to go that first, and I was okay with that due to the narrow roads.

A green bike suddenly zipped past us, barely and Theodore revved even more. I gripped him tighter,  just for reassurance and I could tell he was hesitant.

But in the end. We made it.

We won.

And we got ten thousand dollars.

Okay then.

"That was amazing." I murmur as Theodore stops near a cliff.

"Yea?" He smiles climbing off and pulling at the helmet and I nod. He had helmet hair and I smirk.

The five of them standing near my locker talking about something and I ignore Theodore's smile, grabbing Z'hiem's collar and pushing him against the lockers.

"Woah there-"

"Who do you think you are?" I grit out and he raises an eyebrow. "With your stupid face, and stupid smile and stupid attitude. Do you think you can just treat Lauren like some kind of toy? Let me tell you something, you mess with her, you mess with me. And you don't want to mess with me. So I suggest you get your sorry little ass to her dorm to apologize or I will stuff your books so far up, you won't be able to breathe without quoting words from Shakespeare. Got it?" He looks utterly terrified as he looks at Theodore who raises both hands and looks away amused. "Got. It?" I push him further into the locker and he nods.

"I got it. I got it!" I purse my lips before dropping him and turning. I stand on my toes and press a firm kiss on Theodore's lips before brushing invisible lint off my pants and walking off.

"She's never been hotter," Chase mutters. "Ouch!"

I sat under the tree reading when a shadow suddenly blocks my light.

I look up and find Ocean. Oh boy.

"Hey..." I murmur and he frowns.

"I thought you said you weren't dating Theodore?"

"Oh...he only asked recently...weren't you in the cafeteria?"

"Seems like I was the only one who wasn't there." He murmurs bitterly. "What you up to?" He asks sitting near me and I avert my eyes.

"Just uh, studying." He leans dangerously close, pretending to look at my book and I move away slightly. He turns to me and smiles and I awkwardly return it.

Why couldn't I just study at home?

He touches my hair and I flinch away.

"Um, I have to get home..." I mutter packing up and he grabs my hand.

"So soon?" He whispers his grin growing. I was in a very quiet and secluded area. I came here often so he must've followed me.

"Yes...Theodore is waiting for me." I lie and he scoffs, picking up my bag and throwing it far away. My phone slips out and I bite my lip.

He knew it was in there, I was about to stand but instead, he pushes himself onto me and I freeze.

"What're you doing?"

"Shh...You'll like it..."My breathing quickens and I gulp.

No.

This isn't happening to me.

I try to kick him in his area, but he was pressed too tight onto me. I wiggle from beneath him as he lays kisses down my neck.

"Get off of me!" I yell and he chuckles darkly, never letting up. "Help!" I scream and he leans off to slap me. I use that moment, ignoring the sting to kick him and he doubles over.

"Crap."

I stand to run, and I was almost to my bag when he tackled me.

"Stop!" I scream and he removes something from his back pocket, I gasp, kicking at him as he ties my foot.

"Ocean! What're you doing?!"

"Shut up!" He yells and the tears prick my eyes. I squirm, hitting his chest as he sat on me but he was too strong, he held down both of my hands.

No one knew I was here.

I'm officially dead.
