Must Date The Bad Boy

Have you wondered what it feels like for the famous arrogant playboy in school to have your interest at hand, yeah that's my case, a quiet geek like me trying my best to live through my college days having the best grades and coming out to be the best doctor in the school and living my quiet life as peaceful with no attention drawn to me?

Everything got turned around when I accidentally bumped into Alexander Walter my worst nightmare, the only one I have always wanted to avoid till I left this school but hell no luck was not always on my side, I have to bump into him.

Why not someone different, why not those bullies why does it have to be him, the only one my friends warned me about to avoid, the only one who leaves most ladies heartbroken and sad, the only one who brings trouble and disturbs the peace of the school.

That is the one the universe decided I bumped into.

"I – I – I am sorry," I said apologizing to him, he smiled and stared at me for long.

"Who are you?" he asked me and then his friend walked up to him.

"She is our coursemate the geek fellow who doesn't mingle with people a lot," he said.

"Hmm I see that's nice," he said to his friend before turning his gaze at me, "I like you and I want you," he said and I scoffed out.

"Sorry I am not interested in you and I don't want anything to do with you, if you will excuse me I am late and I need to go," I told him, pulling my books closer to my chest, turning around to leave but I was pulled back by my arm.

"You are more exciting than I expected" Alex whispered behind me, his voice sending hot shivers down my spine and I gulped down on my saliva.

"W - w - what do you want from me?" I stammered while asking him the question, and he laughed out before turning me to face him.

"I want you, all of you. You will be my new toy" he said staring deep into my eyes and I could feel my heart beating fast.

He did something I could never forget in my lifetime, something that would make me the target of every girl present in the school, he took few steps away from me before drawing the attention of everyone present in the cafeteria.

"Announcement everyone, starting from today, Katherine is my girl. No one is allowed to go near her or harm her, if you all have a problem with that then come face me" with that he walked out of the cafeteria leaving me alone to face the glaring eyes of the ladies.

That's how he made me the most hated fellow in the school.

I sat beside my friend in my room as I explained everything to her.

"That's perfect, this is perfect" she exclaimed out.

"How is this perfect, I am doomed and you are happy" I scorn at her.

"You are going to do something that would help every single lady in this world that he has played with their heart," she said and I could see how excited she was about everything.

"How can someone like me help every single lady he has played with?" I asked her raising one of my eyebrows at her.

"You are going to play him," she said.

"WHAT!!!!!!!!" I screamed out, "hell no," I told her getting up from the bed but she stopped me.

"Wait, hear me out please," she said pulling me back to the bed.

"Okay, it better be good," I told her.

"You are going to agree to be his Playtoy make him fall in love with you, and then break his heart." She said clapping her hands in excitement while I yelped out.

I knew tending to her idea would lead me into trouble.

Will I be able to make him fall in love with me or would I end up falling in love with him?

The blaring sound of the alarm woke me up from my sleep, checking the time it was 5 am and I needed to get up so that I can help my mum in cleaning the house and making breakfast.

Well, time to introduce myself to you all,

My name is Katherine thrones, I am eighteen years old, living with just my mum. My dad abandoned us when I was four years, leaving my mum to take care of me alone.

She used to be a stay-at-home mum but when my dad left she has to get herself some jobs to help with my academics and with feeding.

I have been living in hell ever since dad left, I was being pressured by mum to always study so that I would end up being a well-developed girl and have a well-paid job and I won't have to depend on any man to get myself income.

With that I had no time in having fun or doing things youths of my age were doing, I don't go to parties, I don't do birthdays nor hang out with friends, I don't even have a boyfriend because she thinks having a boyfriend will distract me from my books, so instead of going out, I was always at home buried in books.

I ended up having scholarships right from high school and now I still got a scholarship in college, now I am in my second year, still on scholarship and still no time for dating, I have become used to it and when people around me talk about parties or sex or boyfriends I am always the idle one having nothing to say.

My daily routine was to get up from bed, cook breakfast, eat and then go to college, receive my classes and then go to the library to read, get home cook, and then read before going to bed.

I thought my second year in college would be different but it actually got worst with the constant reminder of how I have to get better and come out with good grades.

My dad was well off, living in a mansion with his new wife and no children, so many times he has come to meet me but mum would always send him off with his packages saying we want nothing from him but the truth we need a lot from him.

I was fed up with having to read always, not knowing what was happening in the world, having my phone taken from me when I am browsing online and giving it back when I am done with my four hours of reading. I was a slave, a reading slave and I needed out.

Getting out of the bed, I head straight to the bathroom to get cleaned up, and then putting on my baggy trousers and my big t-shirt and combing my hair I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

I was living in an apartment with two rooms, my mum was living in one and I was living in the other one, though I had my room to myself I wasn't allowed to lock the doors or come home late except I went to the library and I must always show proof of what I read that day.

I heard the door of my mum's room opening and she came out dressed in her office wear, she always leaves before I do.

"Good morning mum," I said greeting her

"Good morning dear, how's your night?" she asked me

"It was okay mum, breakfast is ready. You should eat before you leave" I told her and she smiled before sitting down.

"Thank you, love, hope you are well and how is school. Your grades and your attitude in school. Hope you are still on the top list?" she asked, and yes that was how our breakfast was, after the greetings she gets back to school discussion and nothing else.

"School is fine mum and yes I am still number one," I told her, I have lost my appetite and I don't think I could eat the food anymore, "I have lost my appetite mum, I will just get going," I told her wrapping the food up and keeping it in the fridge.

"Okay dear, listen to your lecturers, and read hard and come out at the top. I am counting on you" she called after me yelling at the top of her voice.

I took my bag from the couch and head out, not bothering to answer her questions.

I am fed up with everything and with the constant question about school and I needed out and I must find a way out.

Checking the time on my phone it was 7 am and my first class was 8:30 am I had enough time before my class, I have to look for my dad and begged him to help me out.

I have a secret which I couldn't tell my mum, I met my dad once when he came to look for mum and he gave me his business card to look for him when I need his help or have something to talk to him about and I have forgotten about it until mum wouldn't stop talking about it.

I took a cab heading to his office where he was the owner of a huge business, and I was pissed at mum that dad was big and yet we are living poor.

On getting to the office building I paid for the cab and head inside and went straight to meet the receptionist.

"Good morning ma, please I am looking for the CEO," I told her

"Good morning, do you have an appointment with him?" she asked me and I shook my head.

"No, I don't have an appointment with him," I told her trying my best to be truthful.

"I am sorry since you don't have an appointment, Mr. Thrones won't be seeing you. Come back when you do have an appointment" she said as she continued with her work.

"Ma this is urgent please," I told her

"I am following protocols ma'am if you have an appointment with him, I would have allowed you in, Mr. Thrones is a busy man and he doesn't have time for unnecessary attention," she said with a smirk on her face.

"Fine tell him I am his daughter, Katherine Thrones. He would want to see me" I told her revealing my true identity to her but she only laughed out.

"Nice try lady, do you know how many people have come up with that name just to see Mr. Thrones, I am sorry but that won't work. If you excuse me I would like to get back to work" she said as she started flipping pages in a file.

"But I am ser....." I was cut short when she stood up immediately bowing her head to someone and I turned towards the direction to see my father coming out from an elevator and I ran towards him ignoring the calls from the rude lady.

I was about to get close to him when his bodyguards blocked me from getting closer to him.

"Let me through I want to speak with Mr. Thrones," I said struggling to get free from their grasps.

"Sorry I can't let you through, Mr. Thrones does not entertain visitors outside his office," one of the bodyguards said, my dad didn't even bother to look back to see what the commotion was all about, he was focused on what he was doing, talking to the lady beside him.

"Father" I yelled out at the top of my voice and he stopped turning around to face me when he saw me he smiles and ran towards me, the bodyguards let go of me and I ran into his arms.

"Darling what are you doing here?" he asked me and then stopped, turning around to search for something or probably someone, "are you here with your mum?"

I shook my head, "no, mum doesn't know I am here, I wanted to see you and talk to you about something. You told me I can come to meet you when I need your help" I told him and he smiled while nodding his head, I could see the joy in his face and how excited he was to see me.

"Gloria, cancel my appointments and tell them I will have a rain check and we can postpone the meeting to tomorrow that's if they are still eager to work with me. I want to have some alone time with my kid" he said to the woman.

"Yes sir," she said before bringing out the phone from her pocket to make some calls.

"Come to my office dear," dad said leading the way as we entered the elevator and we went to the top floor where my dad's office was located.

"Sit down and be comfortable, do you want anything, and have you had breakfast?" he asked and I shook my head, "let them get something for you to eat, what will you eat?"

"I won't have time for breakfast dad, I would be late for class. I came to beg you for something dad, you said you will help me if I need your help" I told him.

"Of course I will help you, you are my daughter and my only child," he said patting my head, "what do you want?"

"First thing first I know this is not the right time now but soon I will like to know why you abandoned mum and me but for now I need to rent an apartment, mum has been putting pressure on me and it's killing me. I can't breathe because she keeps choking me with studies and school but I want you to make it a way that it's the school that is giving me the accommodation for being the best student in the school, please dad" I said pleading and begging him for his help.

"Hmm, I see your mum hasn't changed at all since I left her, always putting pressure on someone. Anyways if you want to know why I left I will be willing to tell you everything" he said and I smiled but he wasn't answering my plea about the apartment.

"What about the apartment dad?" I asked him.

"Oh that, let me get to it now," he said bringing out his phone from his suit jacket and making a phone call.

"Hello....... Yes, this is Mr. Thrones...... yes an apartment, two-bedroom flat, well furnished and recent model too..... yeah, closer to the school....... Yeah.......... I need it as soon as possible, latest today before the ending of school hours........ yes, yes...... oh one last thing you are going to make it look like you are the one giving her the apartment ........... yeah, get back to me...... thank you, bye" he said ending the call before looking at me.

"Before the ending of today you will have your flat and oh I have been meaning to give you this for long," he said handing a debit card to me.

"What's this for dad?" I asked him

" to pay for your expenses at school, you will be needing it to buy groceries and anything you need for your apartment," he said

"I can't accept this dad," I said giving him the card but he took it and placed it in my front pocket.

"Yes you can and I hope someday, you will know I am not the bad person," he said placing a kiss on my forehead.

I didn't know the time was gone so fast when I checked the time on my wristwatch it was 8:20 am and buses won't be available now and walking to school will make me miss half of the first class.

"Shit!!! I am late, I have to go dad" I told him I was about to run away when he held my bag and pulled me back, "dad!!!"

"My driver will drop you, here's my number call me and give me yours too," he said, we both exchanged numbers and he escorted me down to the parking lodge where the driver was waiting for me.

Bidding him farewell I went into the car and the driver drove off, I turned back to watch my dad waving and smiling until I couldn't see him any longer.

With the help of the driver, I got to school at 8:29 am, thanking the driver I got out of the car, running like my life depend on it. I got to the classroom a few seconds before the lecturer got in.

I thought about my newly acquired freedom, my new apartment, and my debit card with no idea how much was inside, which I was going to check soon.

My greatest joy was having to be far away from my mother and having the peace of mind I have always wanted.

'Katherine Thrones please come to the chancellor's office,' the voice on the intercom announced for the third time.

Mrs. Jones was lecturing us about the structures of humans, she was our anatomy lecturer and I loved everything about her, especially her teaching methods. It was well understood and she gives a theoretical explanation too.

"Miss Thrones you heard the announcement, you are needed," Mrs. Jones said and I frowned, having to miss this class means extra studies for me and also borrowing of my friend's notebook.

Getting up slowly from my seat as I sluggishly walked towards the door of the classroom, hoping for Mrs. Jones to tell me to answer the call after her class but she said nothing and I knew she wasn't going to call me back and I needed to hurry up and meet the chancellor so that I can come back to the class before it was over.

I ran through the hallway as I headed straight to the chancellor's office, on getting there I knocked on the door and a voice told me to come in which I did.

I entered the office, the chancellor was sitting on his chair with an envelope in his hands stamping his foot.

"Good Afternoon sir," I quickly greeted while he pointed at a chair for me to sit down on.

I walked towards the chair and sat down before he slid the envelope towards me and I picked it, tearing it open. It was a letter of agreement to three apartments.

"Your dad told me to look for an apartment for you, closer to the school but the ones I could get my hands on are a little bit far from school, twenty minutes walk and I got some pictures for the apartments." He said handing another envelope which contains pictures of the apartments.

Flipping through them one after the other, I finally found the one I like and I pointed it out to him.

"I like this one sir," I told him.

"That's on the main street, New York."

The apartment is huge and spacious, and with a premium location, I could sense comfort and peace.

"Nice choice, hand me the first envelope," he flipped through it before handing me a document to sign.

"Here is the agreement guide read through it before signing it," he said.

I scanned through it making sure to not leave any rules out, pretty much all the rules were used to me, they are like my everyday life.

I don't party, nor have wild friends I can bring over. I don't even stay out late till midnight so the rules are pretty okay and good to me.

"I accept the terms and conditions, sir, can I sign it now?" He nodded his head, I immediately got to it, signing every space that contains my signature and name, when I was done he called his secretary to make a photocopy of it, handing me my part of the agreement form, he handed me the keys to the house and "make sure to call your dad."

I headed out of the office feeling delightsome and took to my heels once again to the classroom. When I got there, Mrs. Jones was just talking about the group work and how we should pair ourselves into a group of five and get the assignment done.

"Damn! I missed everything," I said out loud when Mrs. Jones left the classroom.

"Yeah you did, what trouble did you get yourself into? You are not the type to be called into the chancellor's office like that." Katie said.

Katie had been my childhood friend, she knew almost every detail of my life.

Mom always added that when I make friends they will hinder my chances of being a 'Good Lady' or 'Achieved Lady'. Kate has been understanding which kept our bond unbroken, even stronger.

"I did nothing wrong, he called me for this," stretching my hands and passing the agreement form.

"Wow this is crazy, how did you do this? You are staying opposite my building. I would have gotten that but the rules are definitely too much. Well given for someone like you, you can stay there with no difficulties but how did you do it?" she asked me.

"My dad did it for me," I noninvasively answered.

"Wait your dad!!! Does your mum know about this?" she asked me and I shook my head, "you little devil, you are going against your mum, I love this," she said.

"I wouldn't have done this but you know how she pressures me about school and reading and if I don't leave I will end up committing suicide. I need freedom so I went to meet dad and he helped me out" I told her.

"Wow that's nice, she is going to rain lightning and thunder on you when she finds out that you went to your dad for help," Katie said smiling.

"Stop with your evil smile and no she won't find out, I asked my dad to do something smart for me."

"What's that?"

"I told him to make it look like the school gave it to me for being the best student, so I killed two birds with a single stone."

"Wow you sly devil, I like that. Now we are close to each other. No way we are going to be separated ever again. Sleepovers and girls' night." she yelled out as every eye turned towards our direction.

"Shush, stop drawing attention to us."

"We should head to our lockers and get our book for the next class, I don't want to miss two classes in a row and I will need your anatomy book to update my note tonight please."

"Say no more sis, I am ready to give you everything as long as you are happy," she said, winking at me.

"Thank y...."

I couldn't complete my statements when we heard screams coming from the hallway and our attention was drawn towards the direction of the screams and then I saw him, the hottest, hardest and richest boy in school, Alexander Clinton Xander the captain of the football team, every girl's dream man except me.

To me, he is an arrogant boy that thinks he can toy with every lady's heart and then dumps them when he is through, throwing money at their feet for them to wipe their shame away.

Someone like him isn't fit to be called a human, giving out a long hiss, I returned my attention to what I was doing in my locker.

"Isn't he cute?" Katie said, pulling me by my clothes.

"I don't like him!" I told her before banging my locker and input the password.

"You still keep hate, when would you stop that?"

"Their kind is the type that doesn't respect women and tends to treat them like trash. You can tell by how many ladies he has slept with and discarded them like a piece of rag. Too bad they wouldn't learn from each others' mistakes and still run after him" I told her.

"Hmmm, you are quick to judge. Just because you are always indoors and haven't seen the open or being in a relationship once doesn't give you the right to judge people wrongly."Katie said.

"Wait! Don't tell me you like him." My voice is warlike "And, who told you I haven't been in a relationship?" I told her in a stern tune.

"I have known you for a long time, so you haven't, or have you?"

"Yes, I have been in a relationship," I told her, lying blatantly.

"Hahaha," she laughed out, "oh how can I forget, the only one I know that you are in a relationship with is your mother hahaha."

"I hate you," I told her, holding my book firmly to my chest as I walked faster, ignoring her calls for me to slow down.

When classes were over, Katie drove me home.

I was about to enter the house when she called out and I walked up to meet her in her car.

"When you are ready to pack your things, just let me know and I will be your driver for the day," she said, hitting her car.

"Dad will take care of that for me, thank you for your offer, pretty Katie," I told her, "see you tomorrow, you can bring some food over for me," I told her before entering the house.

When I got into my room, I quickly washed up, went downstairs to prepare dinner. When I was done, I began arranging my things for my apartment when I heard the front door opening and closing and soon I heard mum calling out to me.

"I am in my room mum," I yelled out to her.

"What's going on here Katherine Thrones?" she asked me.

"I got an apartment in school for being their best student and making the school proud, the chancellor said he called you," I told her.

"I was busy at work today so I couldn't answer any phone calls. I am glad you are still the best student even though sometimes you don't take your bookwork seriously. I saw your reading calendar and you have shortened the time by five minutes instead of adding to it. Is this what you will do once you move into your apartment?" she lashed out.

"Mum please don't, I shortened it because you told me to have an extra class so as to boost my grades which are higher than anyone in my school," I told her trying to control the anger that was building inside of me.

"That's because you don't have proper time management, and you don't know how to properly arrange your time and utilize it well so you don't have to reduce your reading times. Remember you need to be the best, so you won't end up dependent on any man and...."

"Enough mum please, you decided to end up this way, dad is filthy rich and can buy us everything we want but you choose to remain here and suffer while he and his wife live in affluence. You brought this upon yourself and not me, why are you hell-bent on ruining my life?" I lashed out, for the first time in my life, I stood up against her.

She broke down in tears, "Your dad was not a nice father but an evil one, did you see him coming to look for you?" my mum asked me in tears.

"When will you tell me the truth of what happened mum, I am old enough to know what my dad did," I told her.

"Soon, very soon but not now, pack your things and then come eat so you can read on time. When are you leaving for your apartment?" she asked me.

"Tomorrow, I called someone to help me with the packings," I told her.

"Ha, I see.... That's nice, then you need to sleep early today, you are permitted to read half your usual time. Come down for dinner." she said before heading out of my room.

When I heard the door close behind her, I crumbled to the ground. I felt angry and sad, angry at myself for speaking rudely to my mum and for making her cry and sad because the pain of what I said would always be in her heart.

My things were all packed and all I needed for my new apartment to look simple. I wasn't having the appetite to eat any longer, so instead, I lay on my bed with the book to read on my bed while I messaged my dad about the arrangement to pack my things.
