Chapter 6: I am bad
"Sorry he said
She was doubting whether to go with him but no one was coming she just needed to be careful
He smiled and drove her home
"So this is where you live"
"Thank you," she said
"Cris," he said
"Huh?"
"I am Cris What's your name"
"I can't tell you, you're a stranger"
"Stranger I am not and stranger I will never be, come on tell me your name"
"No"
"You're probably a new student here and new to this city, you followed your friend to this party because you wanted to get your mind off something. You're not on good terms with your father and you didn't want to go back home"
She was shocked
"Looking at your expression I am right"
"Is he a psychic?" she thought
"Don't worry your beautiful head, it was just a guess"
"Thank you for dropping me, you can leave"
"This neighborhood doesn't seem safe, your friend will be back around 11pm"
"How do you know?"
"Because I threw the party and I close it at 11pm, we have class the next day so we don't stay up late, so looking at my watch we will be staying here for about 40 to 50 minutes taking into consideration the time she will arrive here and are you sure you're not going to tell me your name?"
"I am grateful but you don't need to stay here I will wait for her"
"Not a safe neighborhood!!! I hope you did hear me"
"I can take care of myself"
"You can't,"
"Who told you?"
"I said so, do you want us to wait inside my car or"
"No, I am good"
She knew he wasn't going to leave no matter what she said so she let him stay, true that place looked scary and lonely
He sat inside his car and she was standing at her friend's door
"Hey, beautiful! Are you not tired" he said and she didn't mind him
"Beautiful girl at house 234 aren't you tired"
"Shut up," she said because he was loud
If danger had no idea she was there he was inviting it.
"Beautiful¡ get inside my car I don't bite," he said softly
She rolled her eyes at him, he got out and walked close to her, he held her hand and pulled her with him towards his car and opened the door for her to sit
"Sit comfortably with your legs out if you're scared and I will also stay outside. Let's wait for your friend"
He leaned his back towards his car and wrapped his hands around his chest
"So tell me about yourself"
"You're pretty good with guessing so guess"
"No, tell me, I will go first. My name is Cristobal, I am adopted and I am the most feared person at Bright College, I am a bully at times and I am a party thrower and I am bad and oh a womanizer"
She laughed
"Why are you telling me all the bad things about yourself"
"Because tomorrow when you start school, that's what you're going to hear about me, I don't want you to be surprised, now it's your turn don't make it boring
"Well, I don't know where you got the idea of me coming to your school but true I am a new transfer student. My father is getting married to another woman who doesn't like me but my father wants both of us to coexist with each other but it can't be, so to save him the trouble I live here with my friend but it's just a matter of time till I get my place"
"And your name?"
"I am not going to tell you, tomorrow we will go back to being strangers"
He laughed out loud as if to tell her you wished
"Ok beautiful, but for you to open up to me aren't we...,"
"Friends?!!!"
"Friends?!!! Oh beautiful you and I can never be friends"
"True but it's easy talking to strangers and maybe you were too truthful about yourself that I wanted to be truthful too"
They became silent
"Oh when is she going to arrive" She looked at her time
"Ok let's take a little walk around maybe when we return she'll be back"
She agreed and they walked around, talked, laughed, and enjoyed each other's company
"See I am not that..."
"Bad?!!!"
"No I am really bad but I'm not over the top bad," he said with a smile and a wink
They returned and she was still not back
"So tell me why do you enjoy telling me you're bad"
"Because I don't want to fake it with you, tomorrow you will find a lot worse things about me on campus that will frighten you a little but feel free to play with fire"
"Play with fire? Sorry but no thanks"
"Fire is dangerous but it can also bring you exciting things," he said and she laughed
"You're very beautiful!!" He said
She got out of the car and stand
"Uhm I think you should go"
"Why because I am admiring you!"
