The Bad Boy’s Favorite Girl

Chapter thirty-two

Elena’s pov

I lay in bed unmoving as I gazed at the fan rolling above me unable to sleep.

It was just dawn and I had fled to my room unable to stay in the sitting room since mom and dad were there. I didn’t want to be around then. After excusing myself I went to my room.

It annoyed me that I really didn’t have any other hobbies apart from reading and I suddenly didn’t want to read right now.

I increased the music playing in my ears and I turned, clinging the panda closer to my body.

My mind wandered to the night at the park when Liam had placed the jacket on my body and the way he looked at me and then back at Mac.

There was evidently bad blood between them and it was only a matter of time before I got caught in it and as much as I needed Mac to accomplish what it was I wanted, I still didn’t want to be in the center of their fight.

Another part of me wondered what could have transpired between them, it wasn’t like they attended the same school and they crossed each other’s path.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

They didn’t even get to see if there was no game between them, and they didn’t attend the same parties except on rare occasions when Tisha invited their school.

I wanted to ask Mac but I couldn’t bring myself to do so, not after his mood had completely changed when he had seen Liam.

It was obvious that whatever had transpired between them was personal and only the both of them knew about it.

Ugh. This was giving me a headache.

I closed my eyes as I tried to sleep when I felt the cold air hit me and I shivered and drew the panda closer to my body.

But I closed the window.

I turned in the direction of the window and my heart skipped a bit at the sight of a figure standing in my room just at the window as the person tried to slip through it, falling on the floor.

I let out a scream and I jumped out of bed and pulled out my earpiece as the person grunted in pain before looking up at me.

I didn’t wait to lock eyes with the person as I pulled out my lamp and ran to the person only to be knocked down as I fell back to the bed with the person on top of me.

I almost let out a screen when a hand clasped my mouth, burying my scream and I looked up at the person.

The familiar black hair and bright blue eyes stared at me as if looking deep inside my soul.

Mac grunted as he discovered I had recognized him and he sighed before taking his hand away from my mouth and placing his finger on his lips, giving me the silent gesture and I nodded vigorously.

“What are you doing he–”

“Elena? Are you ok?” My cousin’s sister’s voice came outside my door and my eyes widened as I pulled myself out from underneath Mac and my heart thumped loudly in my chest.

“I uhm. Yeah. I’m okay,” I said sharply as I pulled Mac away from me and I looked around the room for a place I could hide him.

But where could you hide a 6’3 sort of a human being?

“Gosh, uhm. Where would you hide?” I started to panic as I saw the door knob twist and I ran to the door slamming it shut and keeping my cousin out Mac chuckled and I glared at him.

“Elena? What’s happening? I heard you scream, your mother and father are asleep already. Is everything okay?” She asked worriedly and I smiled nervously.

“Yes, dear. I’m ok. Don’t bother, everything’s fine, you can go back to sleep,” I said as I watched Mac flop on my bed as he played with the panda like nothing was happening around us and I glared hatefully at him as my cousin pushed the door again.

“Can I come in at least?” She asked again and I pushed the door closed.

“No, you can’t. I’m on my period and it’s really messy here, I was screaming from the pain,” I said quickly and I felt my cousin stop pushing the door. I turned to Mac who twisted his face in disgust as he feigned vomiting and I smiled.

“Uhm. Ok. Should I get you some medicine?” My cousin asked worriedly and I felt a little pang of guilt from having made her worried. I shook my head.

“No, don’t worry. I have some here.” I said and I heard her hum.

“Ok, but if you feel sick, just call me or your mother,” she said.

“Ok, thank you, sis, goodnight,” I said before I heard her leave and I sighed in relief before I rested my head against the door and locked it to keep everyone out.

“Are you really on your period because that would be kinda gross,” I heard Mac say from behind me and I turned to him, glaring at him.

“What the hell are you doing here?” I yelled and he finally looked away from the panda and back at him, a huge smirk on his face.

“Don’t yell or else your sis will be back,” He said before lying properly on my bed and I stormed to him, snatching the panda from his hand.

“Why are you here? And how did you get in?” I asked as I went to the window and looked down. The distance from the floor and window wasn’t that high so he could have easily climbed in and with the headphones, I hadn’t heard anything.

“I threw stones at your window but you didn’t hear so decided to climb in,” Mac said as he closed his eyes and pulled my pillow closer to himself and I frowned at him.

“Yeah, so why are you here? Shouldn’t you be home?” I asked as I looked at him. He was wearing his jersey like he had been practicing.

“I should. I just finished playing basketball. Coach is not going easy on us since next weekend is our first game,” Mac said before peeking at me and closing his eyes again.

“So why aren’t you home?” I asked curiously.

“Because I can’t sleep at home. It’s lonely there.”
