Good Girl Turns Bad, Kennedy Armstrong [best books to read in your 20s txt] 📗

Jessica looked at me weirdly, I just ignored it.

"Wes, lets go inside of that store, its some nice stuff in ther", I said to him.

"Ok".

"No, that store has some ugly stuff in it, only ugly people like it", Jessica said before we could even take one step through the door.

"Well, theres more stores Zara, lets find a new one", he said walking away with miss perfect.

I just let them walk away, Wes didn't even notice I was gone. I walked backwards shaking my head, when I turned around I bumoed into someone.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry", I said as I looked up to see Xander.

"Zara, hey", he said smiling.

"Hey", I said shyly, he was so cute I felt like I was melting.

"What are you doing here by yourself".

"I was here with someone but they found a better option and just left me, Again", I said rolling my eyes.

"Oh, well you could always walk with me if you want, I was just going to get some ice cream".

I walked beside him, it was a long walk to get to the ice cream, this is a big mall.

"So, who were you with", Xander asked starting a converstaion.

"A friend", I said looking at him.

"Let me guess... Westen", he said like he already knew before.

"Yeah".

"Whats with him always leaving you or never helping you when you get pushed around because of him".

Xander asked me a good question, I really didn't know the answer, but I didn't want to think about it.

"Look, theres the ice cream stand", I said ignoring the question he asked.

"Miss, that'll be $2.00", the man said holding out his hand impatiently.

I pulled out my wallet.

"No, No, I'll pay", Xander said giving the man the money.

"you didn't have to pay, I could've done it".

"It's fine, I wanted to pay".

He is like a package with everything in it, he's sweet, knows how to treat a friend, sexy as hell, and a perfect smile.

"So, what are you doing tonight", he asked with curiosity.

"Nothing, probably just gonna go home and do nothing like every other lame Saturday", I said dully.

"Or, you could go on a date with me tonight", he smiled at me.

"Me, a date, with you", I asked surprised.

"Oh, uh, if you don't want-.

"No, No, I want, trust me, I want", I said interrupting him. I covered up my mouth.

"Sorry, my thought kinda just slipped out", I smiled.

"It's fine", he laughed to.

 

Part 2 of Chapter 3

I got a date tonight

I texted to Wes after I left the mall

I don't give a shit!!

Why are you being mean

You left me at the mall today, me and Jessica were looking for you

No, actually, you left me, so I started hanging out with Xander

Wait, Xander Fields?

Yeah, and were going out tonight

Doesn't he go out with Deidra

No, they broke up. But I need to go, I'm gonna go pick out what I'm wearing tonigh for my date Yay!!!

I walked to my closet and looked inside of it, I had nothing pretty to wear. Right now I really wished I had a Girlfriend to let me borrow something. So I went to Samantha's closet, she was still at work. I saw this really pretty black dress, it was very short but I loved it. It was strapless and tight around my waist (good thing I'm skinny),and  It went above my knees. When I went to the bathroom I saw Samantha's makeup kit, so I tried on some makeup. I put on some black eyeliner and some maskara, then some thick red lipstick. I looked a little different, but I liked the look. After that I curled my hair and made it so it went to one side of my head. and wore some black heals. About an hour later the doorbell rang.

"Who is it", I yelled from the inside the house.

"Xander", he yelled back.

When I opened the door it looked like his eyes were about to pop out of his face.

"Wow, you look great".

"Thanks".

We got into his truck, it smelled very nice to.

"So, where are we going", I asked curiously.

"Well, we were gonna go out to eat and then to a party. But we can't go to the restaurant because they closed early today so were just gonna go to the party".

"Ok", I said as If I wanted to even though I really don't do parties.

We pulled up in a parking lot of a house that was beautiful, it was three stories, and it was packed with people from school and people I've never seen before.

"Whose house is this", I asked looking at it as if I've never seen a house like it before.

"It's Jason Mazaratti's house, do you know him, he's on the football team with Wes".

"Nope, I don't hang out with the team, just Wes".

We walked in together, and all eyes were on us, not just Xander but me to. Usually people paid no attention to me, but I kinda like the attention.

"Want something to drink", Xander yelled over the music.

"Sure", I yelled back.

I started walking toward the couch until someone touched me.

"Zara, is that you", Wes asked looking at me up and down.

"Naw, it's some random girl who happens to look exactly like me and have the same name as me", I said sarcastically.

"I thought you were going on a date".

"I am on a date", I said to him just as Xander returned with a drink.

"Whats up man", Wes said to Xander.

"Sup", Xander said back with a slight smile on his face.

"Wes, Wes", some slutty girl said as she walked over and sat on Wes's lap. She had blonde hair, and blue eyes. She was really pretty.

"Hey Xander", she smiled at him.

"Hey. So you wanna dance Zara", he said cutting her off and asking me a question.

"Sure, I guess, but let me warn you I'm not a very good dancer".

"I'm not either, but I wouldn't mind looking stupid with you", he said grabbing my hand.

When we started dancing some guy came up to us and got infront of Xander.

"Hey, Zara", he said dancing infront of Xander.

"Hey guy I don't know", I said moving back to Xander.

"I'm that guy from your first block, you know, I called you ugly", he got back infront of Xander.

"Oh, you".

"Well I take that back, you look hot, better that Deidra", he said scoping me.

"Hey were on a date and your ruining it, can you go", Xander said cutting in, he looks sexy when he's annoyed.

"Oh, sorry man didn't see you ther", he said dancing away.

"Haha, you looked very annoyed", I said to Xander laughing.

"Yeah, I didn't like the fact that he was on the girl that I really like".

I just smiled at him, he was so sweet. Its been about an hour since we been here, I'm kinda tired.

"Hey, it's getting late", I yelled to Xander over the music.

"Yeah, you want me to drive you home".

"Yeah, If you don't mind".

Me and Xander walked out of the doors of the big house, when we got to the car he opened up the car door for me.

"So, did you have fun", he asked curiously.

"Yeah, lots", I said smiling.

"So, your dancing was, interesting", Xander said being funny.

"Haha, oh shut up. If I dance bad and your worse than me, what does that tell you".

 "Ohh, my moves were good", he said as we both laughed.

"Haha whatever you say Xander".

As he pulled up my driveway Samantha walked out ther door and watched us.

"Is that your mom".

"Not my real mom, she's my foster mom".

He got out of his car snd walked around to the passenger side. He opened up the door for me.

"Thank you", I said politely getting out of his car. When I stood up I was right infront of him, he leaned in a little and so did I.

"Zara, come in the house", Samantha yelled.

I smiled at here interruption. 

"Bye Xander". I walked towards the house looking back at him.

"Bye".

 

Chapter 4

"Wheres Wes", Samantha asked me getting ready to leave for work.

"I don't know, but school starts in ten and he's not here".

"Did you try calling him".

"Yes, he won't answer his phone", I said annoyed.

"Well, I can't take you, I have work. Is there anyone else you can call".

"I think so, let me see. You just go to work, I'll get a ride".

"Bye", Samantha said walking out ther door.

I scrolled down my contacts list searching for someone who could give me a ride.

"Dan, he lives to far. Eliza, She hates me. Ian, doesn't even have a car. Maggie, annoying. Xander, yes", I said to myself.

ZZZZ ZZZZ ZZZ, "Hello", Xander said answering the phone with his deep voice.

"Hey, it's Zara".

"Yeah, I know, you alright".

"I kinda need a ride to school, my ride didn't show".

"Of course, be there in a minute".

"Thanks", I said hanging up.

It was about two minutes until her got here.

"Oh my gosh thank you so much for picking me up", I said as I hugged him.

"You can call me for whatever".

"Thank you".

We both quickly got into the car to head to school. If you didn't get there on time they wouldn't let you in.

"How many minutes do we have", He asked me stopping at a red light.

"One minute, were not gonna make it. Its takes about five minutes to there from here", I said paniking.

"It's fine, we could just hang out all day", he said making my day sound better.

"Tempting, but what about school", I asked.

"Like you said, were not gonna make it so whats the point of driving up there".

"Ok. So what are we gonna do first".

"Well, we can go back to my place and chill, then later we can go to the mall or something".

I smiled, "Sounds like a plan".

Once we got back to his place we sat on his couch watching dumb scary movies. I was lying down with my feet on his lap and he was sitting up.

"I hate scary movies", I said staring at the screen.

"What, why", he said looking at me.

"I mean all they do is have sex and then die. It's all the same to me".

"I think scary movies are great".

"Exactly, dumb people like dumb movies", I laughed.

"What you tryna say", he said laughing.

"Nothing", I said still laughing.

Out of no where he started tickling me.

"Ahhh hahaha, stop stop please", I yelled and laughed at the same time. I managed to get away from him, I ran down the hallway into a room. I tried to close the door but he was right behind me. 

"No no, I'm sorry", I said laughing.

"You better be", he said walking away.

"I'm sorry that your dumb", I whispered and laughed.

"I heard that, it's on now". He
