Bad Boy Fell Hard by Mushabe Melisa (i want to read a book .TXT) 📗

Chapter 11

Dannon Rivera.
He was my first crush back in middle school before Seth came in and shruttered all emotions in me. Yes, i gotta admit he is hot. He has brownish goldenish hair with greenish blueish eyes. He has many tatoos with lip rings and once you meet him, you instantly know he is a bad boy but when you actually get to know him, he is fun to be around.

Dannon and i were friends back at Preston high school and we were one paired up for a school project. Seth didn't like that so i hadn't spoke to him ever since seventh grade.

"You" Dannon points at me with a grin on his face and he still got that sexy voice that i used to like. Keyword..used to!

"Wait! You guys know each other?" John asks, curiosity etched on his face, with a small smile.

"Yeah, we were in the same school back in Seattle." Dannon cheerfully replies. He hasn't changed a bit, he always had this strong energy around him.

"That's good then. You will be in the same school again." John says. 

What!!! This will be so awkward, i think.... Dannon was well aware that i HAD a crush on him back then... I hope he doesn't think that. i also hope he notices how much i've changed.

"Okay then, let's all go settle for dinner." Mam says as she directs the guests to the dinner table.
--------------------------------------------------

Dinner went smoothly and boring with some business talk between dad and John about some collaboration with their companies. Mam and Nelly talking about women stuff.

I just couldn't take my mind off the fact that Dannon was here and was the son to John. I mean yes they have the same name but it was all unexpected and surprising. Dannon and i had small talk until he burst out the big question i was dreading."

"Hey, so what happened between you and Seth?" Dannon asks and i flinch.

I freeze at the mention of his name, haven't heard it from anyone in a while. Dannon seemed to notice the change in my mood.

"I...i'm sorry i brought that up." he apologises.

"No, no, no need to feel sorry. It's fine. We just broke up."

"Is that why you two changed states?" He asks.

Wait what!!!!

"Seth changed schools and states?" I ask acting surprise. i hope my non-existent acting skills came to play. That's what everyone back at school was told and that's what they believe yet it's not even closest to the truth.

"Yeah he did, as of what his friends and the teachers told us. People started assuming that you got pregnant so you two dropped out of school to raise your child together." He says which makes me to laugh out loud earning weird looks from all the other family members and guests.

"I'm sorry" i mutter an apology to all of them and they all turn to their businesses.

I turn to Dannon, "Are you serious?" I cant help but laugh at what people back at school thought i was pregnant with Seth's child and dropped out to raise him. That's just hilarious.

"Yes like seriously. But i didn't believe in all those fake rumors."

"Who in their right minds would believe in that bullshit?" i exclaim.

"Anyway, you didn't answer me, is that why you changed states?"

Yes, i wanted to say but that would make me sound weak and a coward. Even though that is part of the reason, i couldn't admit it to him.

"Why would i move states just because of a guy? That is just childish and dumb. Do you think i would do such a thing?" i ask incredulously. I mean i did change schools because of Seth but not what he is trying to mean. If it was a break up, why would i move states? i didn't even like him that much to change states just for him.

"No, i was just asking, if that's not it then what's the real reason you moved states?" Dannon presses. i stare at him weirdly, it's like he knows something and he wants me to say it.

"My dad wanted to establish his company here in San Francisco." I speak half the truth.

"Oh thats cool, so how's your new school?" Dannon changes the subject.

"Oh you know, typical high school like in the movies and books, bad boys, jocks, cheerleaders, nerds" i say sarcastically as we both burst out laughing.

"Cant wait to check that out! Seems fun" Dannon says sarcastically while dragging the 'fun'.

"Trust me its not worth the wait." I say again. " You are the only child, i see"

"Naa, i have a twin sister." He mentions while drinking from his glass of juice.

Whattttt!!!!!!!!

"What!" I exclaim surprised that Dannon has a twin. I mean, who knew? he didn't seem like one who has a twin and I had never seen anyone that looked like him back at Preston.

"Yeah, she is called Mariella and she will be studying with us."

"Wait! Why didn't she come for dinner?" I ask curiously. John and Gracie haven't mentioned him since they came

"She didn't want to." He mutters completely unbothered by his sister's absurd behaviour.

"She seems like a nice girl." I mutter sarcastically which causes him to laugh.

"She is not, she used to be at your school back in sophomore year." he explains. the girls might be knowing her.

"Why wasn't she at Preston high school?" i ask. why would she want to study all the way in San Francisco yet her family was in Seattle

"Again, she didn't want to go to that school and she was taking some treatment here in San Francisco for some serious illness so she had to stay here with our aunt." There was a hint of sadness as Dannon said that sentence. I was so curious to know that illness but i didnt want to press further considering his sad face.

"As i was saying, what a nice girl!" I sarcastically say while rolling my eyes.

"Anyway, it seems like we shall be good friends since i don't know the school very well and you will have to show me."

"Why?" Who said i wanted to show him around

"Because i want you to show me around." He replies casually shrugging
