The Bad Boy’s Favorite Girl

Chapter Fifty-six

Mac pov

I watched in regret as Elena walked away, and I was certain that she was pissed with me. I did what I had to do to impress the guys, call me cocky but then I was just trying to impress people.

“Dude, that was hilarious,” Dan, one of my friends, said as he patted my shoulder. Others agreed to it and I had to respond with a fake smile to show that I was also happy about it and I wasn’t.

“Told you all the bitch was such a clumsy person” I had the urge to just walk over to where Noah was standing and punch him in the face for insulting Elena.

I might be the biggest fool out there for what I did to Elena, but hell no dude is going to use that advantage to insult her.

“Guys, what do you all think about the announcement made by Mr. John ” Noah asked as we all took our seats by the counter of the cafeteria.

“It means more bitches would get laid” Dan stated and everyone laughed…well everyone except me though.

“Mac?” I looked up to see that they were all staring at me.

“Yea?”

“You zone out for some second there buddy, any problem” Noah asked with a look of concern on his face.

“None, I heard what you all said, and I think it is going to be fired,” I said out of the blue and everyone laughed except Justin, who stared at me.

Justin has always been the quiet one amongst us and for some reason, I am just cautious of the way he acts around us.

“Look over there” Dan pointed out and we all turned around to meet some new school girls who were all dressed in skimpy dresses.

“They look new to me” Justin stated

“Why don’t we intercept them” Dan suggested and heck they all stood up leaving me with Justin, who was engrossed on his phone.

“Are you not going to go with them?” I asked him and he looked away from his phone for some moment and then stared at the guys and then back at me.

“Nah… I am fine” I nodded and there was a momentary silence between us as I watched on as the guys tried to sweep the new girls off their feet and they were surely winning.

“You know you fucked up right” I turned around to see Justin still on his phone.

“Were you talking to me?” I asked and the latter dropped his phone on the table and then folded his arms to stare at me.

“Of course, I was referring to you. The look you have in your eyes shows that you are guilty of what you just did” I looked at him in disbelief.

“Look Mac, you don’t have to go out of your way to impress the guys, I mean you can live your life the way you want it. Just don’t get influenced by them. They all believe that I am a lover boy and I always nod my head to their conception because they are the truth. However, they cannot have a say in what I do” I thought about what he had said for some minutes, before standing up to my feet

“Leave the advice to yourself, I do not impress anyone” I finished off and took my leave.

I knew he was right, but I wasn’t ready to admit the truth just yet.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The next day in school…

“Settle down. Everyone! I can see you are ready to rock and roll!!” Mr. James yelled into the microphone. He was the student’s favorite teacher and it was appropriate that he was part of the trip.

We were in an open-air theatre for the meeting with Principal Alice. She wanted to make introductions and run us through our duties for the excursion.

I sat by myself in one of the rows. People had filled all the other benches except for mine like I was a virus or something.

“I know you are a bunch of hormone-driven teenagers ready for me to get off the stage, but there are some responsibilities that need to be put in place for the camp. We are going to lay down the rules and…”

Mac walked into the theatre in the middle of the Principal’s intro. Every head turned to him. Whispers escalated up the rows like a tidal wave until gossip exploded amongst the crowd. His name was popping up in conversation all around the theatre and some people were even taking photos of him.

“Does he have to look hot every fucking time”

I rolled my eyes at the sight of the students doing this. I kept reminding myself that this was the same Mac that got me tripped yesterday and it pissed me off a lot.

“Mac Lee!” Principal Alice announced into the microphone as some form of warning, before he had to be cautious of himself and go back to his seat.

“Now as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted” Principal Alice had a scowl on her face and I turned towards the direction her gaze was fixated and of course, Mac was flirting with Tisha once again.

“The camp is a great place and I do hope that whatever happens, you all are open to learning new things and relating well amongst yourselves” She pulled out a paper and adjusted herself on the mic as everyone kept mute.

“Now to the rules. First of all, you would have to stay in your camps the moment the supervisor rings the bell. By implication, you can do all you want but the moment the bell rings, you have to go back to camp” Well it was quite a simple rule and one that I knew I would be obeying all the time.

“Now the second rule and in fact, the most important rule is never go outside the camp without the permission of your supervisor. Anyone caught disobeying this rule would be sent back here at Oakwood and trust me when I say they would not have it likely. Having said that, I would now use this medium to say I wish you the best of luck as you embark on your journey” She finished off and there was loud applause as everyone stood up getting their things and ready to move.

I was about to go outside when I was stopped by Sophia. I haven’t seen her for quite some time now and the memory of what happened between the two of us was still fresh in my mind.

“Hey, can I be your seatmate on the bus?” She was kinda nervous hoping I would not reject her and certainly, I wasn’t going to reject her.

“Well, Vee and I already planned on being seatmates. However, we could need another person to join us” The smile on her face was endless and I smiled back at her.

“Come on now, let’s go,” I said to her upon seeing Vee signaling me to come over and just like that, we were heading for camp.
