High School Bad Girl [COMPLETED]

BLACKMAIL

** LEAH’S POV **

Zane and Zoey are like 2 peas in a pod. Since they have been friends for a year before I joined them they have a deeper bond with each other among the three of us. When I joined Rigemont High I had a little crush on Zane, he was this really cute guy with green eyes and brown hair and was the only guy who came up to me and spoke to me along with a girl named Zoey and since then we have been best of friends.

Although I still crush on him it is not enough to risk losing their friendship. Zane turned handsome as we grew up, he is now this 6ft tall guy with a body of Adonis and looks that could make a girl go weak in her knees but he never accepted any girl’s proposal nor did he go after any girl or guy. The only girl he seems to be fond of is Zoey.

They even seem to share their passion for machines as I have seen them talk passionately about cars and bikes. I know Zoey doesn’t believe in things like love and all but Zane kind of seems to be taken by her. He is always so protective of her and even shows his possessiveness for her, even the other day he was so worried about her race more than his own competition.

When I woke up in the morning after spending the night at Zoey I realized I was not sleeping on a pillow but on something soft yet hard, when I looked up I saw Zane sleeping happily with me on one side and Zoey on his other and he had his arms wrapped around the both of us ‘He looks so vulnerable and so cute!’

We were chilling in the cafeteria after Mrs. Jones surprise test when we were interrupted by an unexpected heavy voice “Collins! Can I talk to you for a sec?” it was none other than our school football team’s infamous quarterback ‘Ryder Jenkins’. I turned to look at Zoey and she was surprisingly flustered and chocking on her drink ‘Ok something seems fishy!’

Zoey the one whom no one can shake seems to be shaken to her core by this guy. Zoey excused herself and walked off with Ryder while Zane and I were sitting there dumbstruck. “What’s happening?” I said as I turned towards Zane who was staring in the direction Zoey and Ryder had walked off.

** ZANE’S POV **

I woke when Leah got up from my arms and walked towards the kitchen. A smile crept up my lips when I glanced down to see Zoey sleeping cozily in my arms and nuzzling her face over my chest as she stirred in her sleep “You are the most beautiful girl I know” I whispered to myself as I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear ad placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

After a few minutes of admiring this cutie on my arms, I poked on her cheek “Hey my little mouse get up we are going to be late for school.”

She clutched me tighter “Mmmm… 5 more minutes please!!” she groaned sleepily swatting my hand away ‘Don’t be so cute Z I won’t be able to let you go!’ I poked her cheek again when Leah came to the living room “She won’t get up so easily” she shook Zoey up “Wake up Z! I can’t find your bike!” she screamed.

Zoey who was sleeping blissfully woke up startled “Wha… whe… ma… bike?” “I can’t find your bike in the garage!” Leah spoke in a panic tone, which seems to do its work as Zoey shot up rushing and stumbled to the garage. ‘What a way to begin the day!’

The day was going fine till Ryder walked to our table and asked to speak with Zoey ALONE! ‘Why the hell does he want to talk to her? And why on earth is Z looking so shaken up?’ Although she masked it immediately I could never miss those subtle changes in her when she gets flustered, her eyes dart around when she is rattled.

Leah and I were looking at each other confused as to what had just happened “Do you know anything about this?” I asked Leah to check if they had any ‘girl talk’ but all she said was that even she is not aware of anything about this! I didn’t realize what I was doing till Leah pointed “Zane you are digging your nails into your palms stop it! Zoey is a strong girl and whatever it is that’s going on I am sure she can handle it on her own.”

“I am sure she can. I have no doubt but I don’t trust Jenkins!” I hissed out.

** ZOEY’S POV **

Zane, Leah and I were chilling in the cafeteria after being done with our test when Ryder walked up to our table literally ordering me to follow him ‘Who the hell is he to order me around?’ “Why are you being so bitchy?” I asked looking at his face that had a permanent scowl plastered on it.

Ryder muttered something inaudible under his breath and turned around tucking his hands in his jeans pockets “uh…” I jerked my head back a bit knitting my brows ‘What’s gotten into him?’ “Weeeeellll…. What is it?” he has a weird way of testing my patience’.

He squeezed his eyes shut tight “Ineedyourhelp..!”

He spoke so fast that I didn’t catch a word of what he had said “I can’t understand a word of what you are saying Jenkins you gotta slow the f**k down!”

He scratched the back of his head and whispered “I need your…”

“Huh? Dude seriously what are you trying to say? You gotta speak up louder coz I don’t have any super hearing power or anything!” I raised my hands in the air in defeat and was about to walk away ‘too dramatic!’ “Wai…” I felt a hand grip my right-hand wrist spinning me around to face him “Woww what the hell!” I almost tripped over myself.

“I need your help Collins!” he took a big deep breath rubbing his hands over his face “arghh… there I said it!”

I scoffed “dude I don’t understand what ‘help’ you need! Don’t you already have what you need?”

He gripped my shoulders shaking me a bit “I do ok with all the subjects…” I folded my hands over my chest squinting my eyes “Ok I mean most of the subjects…”

I kept my expression the same as I questioned him “Really?”

“Ok! OK! FINE! I suck at anything that has nothing to do with sports. OK? There happy?” he said ‘wow he must be in deep deeeeep s**t if he is accepting his flaws!’ “Go on” my lips curved up into a smirk as my ego had a big boost hearing him confess painfully ‘This is what you get for blackmailing someone into doing all the work!’

“I need your help with our curriculum; I need to get at least an ‘A’ in all the subjects in order for me to go to the University my dad wants me to enroll into sooo…” he bent his head shuffling between his feet looking like a little boy asking for his favorite candy, I know it sounds dirty but it’s all in good sense.

“So?” I was still not getting what ‘help’ he wanted.

He sighed “So what I am saying is… I need you to help me with my studies and getting the grades I need.”

“You were blackmailing me into doing the chem project all on my own and now you want me to help you? Why would I wanna do that?” ‘s**t!’ I facepalmed myself for reminding him about that blackmail.

** RYDER’S POV **

‘Dad’s gonna get super pissed if I am do like this for the rest of the year. I gotta get my s**t together and make sure I get that ‘A’. If I am gonna do that I am gonna need someone who is really good with all the subjects to teach me and it has to be someone that I can trust so that they don’t talk about it in the school. Who could that be?’

I was sitting in the cafeteria with my gang when I saw Collins and her friends sitting a few seats away ‘Damn! Why didn’t I think about this?’ I got up from my seat ignoring the chatter of my friends and walked to the table where Collins was seated and although I didn’t mean to command her I ended up commanding her to come with me.

Once we were in the secluded corridor and asked her which more was like pleaded her to help me with the subjects I am having difficulty with. She was having so much fun watching me beg and plead with her but ended up digging her grave when she slipped the blackmail part ‘I could blackmail her into helping me!’ I inched closer to her when she clamped her pretty little mouth shut walking backwards till her back hit the wall “I asked you nicely but you just had to keep refusing my request so now I am gonna ask you once again!” I slammed my palms on the wall trapping her between them.

“Jen… Ryder! What are you doing?” she stumbled on her words as she tilted her head to the side.

I bent my head to her level “If you don’t want me to strip your secrets naked in front of everyone you will do as I say Black Phantom!” I whispered in her ear and was happy to see her shudder. I pulled myself together as I stepped back appraising her as I rubbed my chin between my forefinger and thumb “I think everyone is gonna love to see who the infamous BLACK PHANTOM is, don’t you agree?”

She was gritting her teeth glaring daggers at me “FINE!” that’s all she said before walking turning to walk away “Give me your number Collins! That way I don’t have to keep snatching you and dragging you away. Saves me the trouble!”

She huffed and walked up to me snatching my phone from my hands since I had it unlocked already she typed her number in dialing it “There! And don’t spam me!"
