She is a badass

Chapter 4

*** Rylee’s POV ***

*

I wake up with a groan when my alarm go off in the morning.

“Who set this sh*t up?” I murmur to myself when I realise it’s Monday, the summer vacation is over and I need to start in college. I hate Mondays and I don’t want to go to college without my cousins but I have no other choice. At least Grayson will be there, we will meet in the front of the school since he is going on his motorcycle what he loves more than anything in this world. He has a Kawasaki Ninja what he cherish a lot and he doesn’t let anyone near it.

I get out of my bed and walk into my bathroom tiredly for my morning routine. I need to use to wake up this early, but it’s worth it if I don’t need to live in those dorm rooms with unknown people, away from my family.

When I finish in the bathroom I walk to my wardrobe to chose something to wear for my first day of school. I pick out a pair of dark blue jeans and a black tank top. I apply some makeup what makes my blue eyes more vivid and I put my black and silver sneakers on and my leather jacket. I head downstairs when I am satisfied with my look, nobody is awake yet since they don’t need to wake up this early as me. I eat something fast and just as I finish eating I hear someone is walking down the stairs.

“Good morning darling.” Mom greets me with a yawn and I smile at her.

“Good morning mom, I was just about to leave.” I told her and press a kiss onto her cheek but she grab my arm gently when I want to walk past her and I look back at her.

“Wait, darling.” She says and walks towards the key holder by the front door. “Here, we wanted to give you this with your father because it’s your first day in college and you need to drive a lot but your dad could not wake up this early so I will just give it to you without him, take it and drive carefully.” She says with a smile and hands the keys of the Camaro to me. I look at her with wide eyes and open mouth when she drops the keys onto my outstretched hand.

“Seriously?” I ask her in disbelief. We have an old red Chevrolet Camaro what was my grandpa’s before who died when mom was just 16 and since then she cherished that car till no end. She didn’t even let me and Matt sit in it when we were small because as she said we always make a mess. That car is a legend, hold a lot of memory and it’s awesome and still rides perfectly and looks like it’s new. I was driving dad’s old Opel till today and that car has a lot of problems already so I am more than happy to to have an other car, let alone the Camaro.

“Yes honey, I hope you will take good care of it, you know how much that car means to me. I know dad would want me to give it to you too.” She says and tears filled up in her eyes.

“Thanks mom, I love you so much...and dad too.” I say excitedly and jump on her to hug her tightly. “I will take care of it, don’t worry.”

“Wow, you almost made me fall.” She says with a chuckle when we pull away. “Drive carefully, it’s much more faster than the Opel.” She says warningly and I nod excitedly, I can´t wait to drive it and let Grayson see it.

“I will, I need to go now.” I say and run towards the garage where we keep the car. ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe this.’ It’s still shiny like it’s new and it has a black stripe in the middle all the way from the front, till the back. I love it, I always did and finally it’s mine. Matt won’t be happy about it, that’s for sure but I don’t care, I am the older one, he doesn’t even have a driving license yet so he can s*ck it up.

I sit into the driver seat and admire the dashboard for a minute. It’s so cool and totally suits me. I wear my sunglasses and start the car. It roars up and I get goosebumps from its sound.

“Cool” I say with wide eyes for no one in particular since I was alone and turn the radio on. ‘St. Francis college here I come.’ I start to drive towards Huntington Beach. This car is a dream, it feels like I am flying because I passed every single car on the highway. I reached the school in record time and the parking lot was still almost empty so I found a good spot to park the car. My car, I still can’t believe it.

I am waiting for Grayson while I am still sitting in the car and playing with my phone when someone knocks on my window. I look up to see a handsome but angry looking guy who is murmuring something under his breath when I roll the window down and I look at him with narrowed eyes.

“What?” I ask a bit rudely but he doesn´t look like a kind dude either.

“You are parking on my spot.” He snaps and I raise my eyebrows at him and take off my sunglasses to see him better. He look straight into my eyes and I try to look back at him with my most intimidating look.

“Come again?” I dare him to say it again in a deeper tone and look at him with a frown on my face. ‘His spot? Yeah right.’

“I ..said...you are... parking.. on.. my... place.” He says very slowly like I am an i***t who doesn’t speak English. I let out a sigh and lean out of the window to look around the car. “What are you doing now,? Just go and park your car somewhere else.” He says while he rolls his eyes with an annoyed expression on his face. I lean back into my seat with a smile and wear my sunglasses again.

“I don’t see your name anywhere.” I say with a smug smile and now he is mad.

“I said ... find an other parking spot, I won’t repeat myself.” He says and his face become red from the anger. This guy don´t get to hear ´no´ for an answer so often I guess.

“Nope” I say with a shrug and roll up the window, but before I think he will leave me alone, he knocks on it again but harder and I have enough from his tantrum. I don’t need him scratch my baby when I just got to have it. You need to know that I am not famous of my patience anyway so better if you don’t piss me off because I am not afraid to use my fist to solve my problems, especially if my problem is an a*sh*le like this one in the front of me.

I take off my sunglasses again and let out a frustrated sigh. I put the keys into my pocket and grab the handle to open the door to get out of the car.

“What is it again?” I ask calmly but I was anything but calm.

“I can’t believe this.” He threw his arms in the air. “Are you stupid or what? What you don’t understand from ‘find an other parking place’.” He says while he was instructing me with his hands how I should move the car from his spot, like I don´t knw how to.

“Oh, I understand it very well, but I said NO, I won’t, you are the one who doesn’t understand it.” I tell him with a shrug and first he looks at me like I am an alien then when he realise that I won´t move my car, he comes closer to me and looks at me threateningly, he leans down to my level since he is quite tall and talks close to my ear.

“You don’t know who I am since you are just a freshman but I warn you, if you don’t move your car in this instant, I will make your freshman year in this college a living HELL.” He says in a low voice and shouts the last word, but I didn´t even flinch. I look at him with a fake scared face and he looks proud for a moment.

“Oh, I am so scared.” I mock him and burst out laughing. He just looks at me with a surprised expression on his face and I was curious what he is going to do next. Now he looks more furious than before and put his hand on my shoulder to push me back into the car but I grab his hand reflex-like and twisted it behind his back. I hear his bones breaking and he let out a loud yelp. I hold his hand there and lean close to his ear.

“Maybe I am just a freshman, but you don’t know who I am either and you don’t want to know, believe me. By the way, this is MY spot from now on.” I say and push him away who stumble and hold his arm what I just broke and looks at me with open mouth ,the hidden pain was written on his face and the surprise too. That moment I hear that familiar noise of Grayson’s bike who just parks right in the front of my car.

“Hey Ry, leave the poor guy alone, I can’t believe that you are looking for for trouble already the first day.” Grayson says with a laugh after he takes his helmet off and I walk towards him happily after locking my car.

“Finally, I waited for you for ages and it was boring already.” I say with a pout and that guy was still looking at us.

“That’s why you beat him up?” He ask with a laugh and I look back at that i***t briefly.

“Who? Him? Nah, I didn’t beat him up, we just introduced ourselves.” I say with a wicked grin and he burst out laughing.

“Come on, let’s get going otherwise we will be late.” He said and I glared at him while we started walking towards the school. ''Nice car by the way.'' he says while he looks back at the car.

“I know, right? By the way you are the one who came late.” I tell him in disbelief and he wraps his arm around my shoulders.

“You are right ,like always.” He says and I push his arm away when I realise what he is doing again.

“You promised.” I say and point my finger at him accusingly. He is again acting like we are together just to annoy me and keep the guys away from me like a protective brother.

“Okay-okay, fine.” He says and roll his eyes while we walk into the school to find the office to get our timetable.
