She realized she felt an attraction to him.....so tried to avoid him because she had heard of his reputation as a player that would leave her heartbroken if she succumbed to her feelings. But after he guilts her into befriending him,she realizes ignoring him was even harder than she thought. Hannah Porter was a new student to Brooklyn high school when she met William Sylvester, the school's player who had never experienced romantic love and never longed to experience it. Even though they felt falling in love would be hard, they will soon find that dating was even harder than they thought.......
A teenage girl walks towards the doors of a high school building, Brooklyn high school, feeling despondent. She was doing great in her old school but her father just had to get a transfer. Now she had to make new friends, gain a new identity and strive to be popular again which was almost everything in highschool. She opens the door and enters the bubbling hallway.
Who was she to ask help from? A boy having a heated make out, a girl ransacking her locker and looking very frustrated, or a girl walking out of a class and typing furiously on her phone. She decides to go for the girl ransacking her locker.
"Hey"
"Can I help you?", the girl asks, looking up with her pair of pretty marble-grey eyes.
"I'm a new student", she replies and the girl frowns.
"I'll just clear this mess and give you a hand", she says and begins stuffing all her belongings into the locker. "Okay, let's go", she says when she is through.
"You forgot this", the new girl says and bends down to pick a note lying on the floor. Her brows furrow on seeing the note. "That's what you were looking for?"
"Yeah, thanks", she replies collecting the note. "Let's go now", she says and they begin walking further into the hallway.
"I am Hannah, Hannah Porter", the new girl introduces.
"Genevieve, some people call me Genny though".
"I think that will do also", Hannah declares. "So what class are you in? I'm going to be in grade eleven"
"That's my class", Genny replies and stops in front of a class. A boy was standing at the door. "Hey Ricky", she calls and he walks towards them then kisses her before turning to Hannah.
"Hi, I'm Kendrick", he says.
"Hannah"
"She's new here so I'm going to be taking her to the principal's office. Submit my assignment for me, will you?", she says and presses the note to his hand then kisses him briefly. "Love you", she tells him and drags Hannah on.
"Your boyfriend?", Hannah asks.
"Yeah"
"He's cute"
"I know, I mean thanks"
"Hey don't get it the wrong way"
"Nah... I'm no jealous girlfriend"
"Good"
They stop in front of a door after a while of walking.
"So this is it Annie", Genny announces.
"Annie?", Hannah asks and Genny shrugs. "Okay, thanks Genny"
"I guess..... I'll see you around", Genny says and walks off.
Hannah exhales. That was a good start, she thinks to herself then exhales again and enters the office.
Hannah enters the class Genny stopped at before and looks round for Genny.
"Annie!", Kendrick calls and Hannah spots him sitting with Genny. How come he was calling her Annie too, Hannah complains internally but finds her way to where Genny and Kendrick sat.
"Genny"
"You're done?"
"Yes, I'll be having....", Hannah trails off to look at a sheet of paper in her hand. "Anatomy in minutes".
"Ah, I was about to leave for that class, let's go together", Kendrick replies, standing up. "See you later, Genny",he says and heads out with Hannah.
They settle in when they get to the class where the lecture was to hold and the teacher enters minutes later. The teacher is about to start teaching when someone strolled in wearing a black hoodie and Hannah's eyes widen in amazement.
His chocolate brown hair fell across his forehead in baby-like curls and his enthralling blue eyes had a confident gleam. His lips were fresh and so.... pink, gosh he looked totally kissable. Wait Hannah why are you thinking of his lips, she reprimands herself and composes herself.
When she stops staring at him, she realizes she was not the only one. There were several other girls staring at him, some even drooling. He was so worth drooling over.
After the teacher chides him severely, he turns to the class and looks around. His eyes meet Hannah's and he heads towards her. Her heart begins beating erratically despite her efforts to control it. A guy hadn't made her feel this jittery in a while.
He seats on the chair in front of her and turns to her almost immediately.
"You're a newbie?",he asks.
"Is it obvious?"
"No, but I'm sure I know every beautiful girl in this school. No way I wouldn't know a beauty Queen like you", he drawls and she smiles.
"Fuck off Will, you're distracting the new girl", Kendrick grunts and smacks Will's head.
"I think she likes it", Will replies with a smirk.
"Is anything going on there Mr Sylvester?", the teacher enquires.
"Not at all", Will quickly answers.
He didn't turn back to chat with her again but he had already distracted her. How was he so handsome? How were the girls in this school surviving with such a hot stuff in their midst? He was like a chocolate cake, it was just so tempting to gobble him up.
"And that is the end of our class for today. Now I shall proceed to some questions", the teacher announces just as the bell rings. Everyone starts walking out leaving the teacher who was trying to make an announcement.
Will stands up and turns to Hannah immediately the teacher leaves.
"I'm William"
"Yeah I guessed. I'm Hannah, plain Hannah though Genny has taken a liking to calling me Annie".
"I like Annie, I'll call you that too if you don't mind. So you are with Rick and Genny.... I'll be seeing you often then".
"Maybe", she replies.
"Wanna have lunch with me later?"
"I don't...."
"I'll come get you"
"No, she won't", Kendrick cuts in.
"He's right", Hannah supports.
"Rick!", Will queries. "Who does this to their best friend?"
"Me", Rick replies. "Annie and I will get going now", he concludes and drags Hannah out. "Will is a player, I don't think you should involve yourself with him"
"He gave me the vibes already, But he's got the look for it, I won't blame him".
"There's nothing that can explain being a fucker"
"I haven't said that it is nice".
"Just stay away from him, he's pretty convincing".
"You guys are best friends?"
"Since childhood. I don't like the whole player stuff though", Rick says and she chuckles.
"So what extracurricular do you take?"
"Football"
"Obviously. And he probably is on the team too".
"Yeah, he's quarterback. The appointment is still quite new though".
"Well he has the body for it, of course he will be good".
"Looks like you took a rather generous look at him".
"I couldn't help it, he's hot", she admits with a slight embarrassed blush.
"That's what they say before he breaks their heart"
"Look I'm just ogling him. I'm not into him"
"Yet"
"I appreciate this, a lot, but I believe I am very acquainted with identifying and snubbing players".
"Ever date before?"
"Once, stupid thing"
"Looks like it didn't end well"
"Not at all. What about you and Genny? How long have you guys been?"
"Since the beginning of sophomore year. I crushed on her the entire freshman year though, she was tough".
"She looks like it", she comments and he smiles.
"Genny", he calls softly as they approach Genny and she turns with a smile.
"How was the class Annie?"
"She met Will"
"He's nice", Hannah adds.
"Until he gets what he wants", Genny comments.
"There will always be playboys, nothing like a bad boy to add spice to life", Hannah proclaims and Kendrick groans exasperatedly. "That doesn't mean I'll let him get to me though, so don't worry about me"
"You're hopeless", Kendrick concludes and she laughs.
"Nah..... I'm just a girl who wants to flirt a bit", Hannah counters.
"I give up", Kendrick concedes.
