"Grr baby grr what's wrong?" Wyatt makes a tiger paw and pretends to claw me.
"Nothing why?" I ignore his antics and continue unloading my book bag into my locker.
"You only dress like a bad ass when you're pissed about something," he nods at my outfit.
"Please do tell how am I dressed as a bad ass?" I arch an eyebrow.
"Black stilettos, black skinny jeans, tight red t-shirt, black leather jacket, and if my eyes are correct a black lacy bra," Wyatt waggles his eyebrows at me.
"Eww you're gross," I make a face and pull my t-shirt higher.
"What don't show it if you don't want me to appreciate it," he shrugs.
"Oh come on, shouldn't you see me as like a sister or something? I'm your best friend," I bop him on the side of the head.
"If you were ugly then maybe, but sorry Rox you aren't unfortunate looking so there for I am forced to lust after you even though you're one of my best friends," he winks.
"I'm not unfortunate looking? Wow way to build up a girls self confidence," I tease.
Wyatt knows me way too well; he just laughs and rolls his eyes. "Baby you are the most confident girl I know, how else could you hang out with me and not feel self conscious," he receives another hit on the head for that one.
"So tell me what's wrong?" Wyatt prods again.
"Right now? You! You're annoying the shit out of me," I huff.
"Collin, Roxy is being a grump butt and won't tell we what's wrong," Wyatt tattles on me to our other best friend Collin as he joins our little group. I try to avoid eye contact with him, he knows exactly what's wrong... jack ass.
"Wyatt can you give us a second," Collin says never once taking his eyes from me.
"No he can't he's walking me to class, bye!" I wave with my middle finger and hook my arm with Wyatt's.
Wyatt shrugs at Collin and struts along beside me down the hall and yes when I say strut I mean strut. The kid is a damn peacock, and all the girls notice him... hell so do some of the guys. I don't blame them if I didn't know Wyatt as well as I do I'd think he was hot too. He's tall, muscular, tan, has a golden blonde hair, bright green eyes, and a killer smile that he calls 'the panty dropper smile'.
"So what's up with you and Collin, lovers' quarrel?" Wyatt smirks tugging on a strand of my hair.
"Lovers really? You know he and I are just friends just like you and I," I roll my eyes.
"Hmm so just friends like you and I? Have I forgotten having mind blowing best friend sex with you?" Wyatt smirks.
"Oh my god shut up, okay fine my relationship with each of you are different but Collin and I are really just friends... and he's being an asshole," I frown.
"You mean he got feelings on you and wants to be in a relationship and you're too scared to give him a chance?" Wyatt gives me a knowing look.
"No," I glare. I don't care if he's somewhat right I will never admit it, if the fate of the world depended on me admitting Wyatt is right then we'd be fucked.
"I knew it!" Wyatt smirks.
"You don't know shit," I roll my eyes.
"Roxy give him a damn chance I mean seriously what could go wrong? You guys already act like you are together you might as well just make it official," Wyatt gives me a very rare serious look.
"I have to go to class," I huff rushing into my class before he can say anything else.
"You love him and you know it!" Wyatt yells after me and I cringe.
I hate those two sometimes, I knew Wyatt was in cahoots with Collin... ass hole.
It's not my fault that I'm fucked up and don't believe in monogamous relationships. The guys know my parents, having them as an example of "love" in my formative years did a number on me. I honestly don't believe people can stay faithful in a relationship someone always ends up cheating. Even if you forgive and try to forget there will always be that nagging voice in the back of your head telling you it'll happen again and guess what it always does. I love Wyatt and Collin both to pieces, but I'm not going to risk a good thing just because Collin is getting all gross and relationshippy on me because once he cheated on me I could never ever be friends with him... I'd be in jail for murder. I mean seriously the kid is ridiculously attractive he could have any girl he wants so I don't understand the fixation on me. He is crazy tall like I'm talking at least 6'5'', he has full lips, perfect lightly tanned skin, honey colored eyes, and dark wavy hair. Girls throw themselves at him so I think the fact that I'm the only girl not begging for his attention makes me a challenge to him and a relationship should not be built off that. At least in my opinion.
************************
After a long day of avoiding Collin I'm thoroughly exhausted and ready to go home and go to bed, but of course the universe hates me and I can't. My dad is in town tonight and wants me to have dinner with him and his new girlfriend, Kimmy is her name I think... sounds classy right? Not only is this stupid dinner stressing me out, but I have an urge to talk to my mom about the whole Collin thing and of course she has fled town for the next three days with her friends until my dad leaves. Collin was supposed to come with me tonight, but I have a feeling that won't be happening anymore so as I unlock the front door to my house I dial Wyatt's number.
"Hey baby cheeks," he answers cheerily. I hear Collin's voice in the background and frown.
"Hey so would you do me a huge favor?" I ask.
"Of course, what's up?"
"Come to dinner with my dad and Kimmy with me tonight?" I plead.
"Can I hit on her?" I can hear the smirk in his voice.
"Sure," I laugh.
"Then yes, but just so you know Collin is hurt that he is disinvited," Wyatt says and I hear Collin trying to deny it in the background.
"Yeah whatever, anyways pick me up at seven and dress nice," I hang up.
I take my time doing my homework before attempting to get ready for dinner. I'd honestly rather have my finger nails ripped off one by one then have to endure two hours of the bimbo show.
When Wyatt comes to pick me up I'm just barely finishing getting ready and we have to hurry out the door.
"You look good Rox," Wyatt waggles his eyebrows.
I'm wearing a bodycon dress that's red with a black lace overlay, black stilettos, smoky eye shadow with perfectly applied eyeliner that brings out my ice blue eyes, and my long dark hair is in a high pony tail.
"Thanks Wyatt, you look great too," I grin.
He really does, he's wearing black dress pants with a black belt, expensive black loafers, and a grey blue button up. His hair is in a sexy slicked back style and he looks clean shaven and for once... like a grown man. Usually he prefers basketball shorts and bro tanks, or jeans and a t-shirt, but lord if the he dressed like this all the time he would have to fight girls off... well more than he already does.
We get to the restaurant and I give my name to the hostess, she leads us to my dad's table all the while checking out Wyatt and basically panting over him. He doesn't mind though, and I find it mildly amusing.
"Honey, you look fantastic," my dad greets me with a bone crushing hug. I glance at his new girlfriend over his shoulder, she isn't the trashy bimbo I'd expected to see. She's actually very classy looking and way too pretty to be with my father. She has dark curly hair, bright blue green eyes, high cheekbones... basically she looks like she just hopped off the pages of vogue.
"Hey dad," I squeeze back.
"Sweet heart this is Anna," my dad says gesturing to the beautiful brunette.
