His Millionth But First Girl - Chapters 1 to 3
He's a jerk. He's an arrogant guy. He's that person who wraps helpless girls around his finger. So, there's no way on earth that I will fall for him, or at least that's what I wish for.
Don't forget to post your comment. I would like to know how you think of my story. :D
Chapter 1- Talking About My Undies...Not Cool
I was just done curling my auburn hair when my mom called downstairs, "Paige, turn that noise off and get to school!" Well, if you consider Lady Gaga song a noise then surely, you and mom will become great friends for all I care. I sighed and turned off my iPod instead and grabbed my juicy couture handbag by my well-polished nails.
As you can see, I am one of those girls who well, have high standards and wears stiletto heels. I have coral blue eyes which adds to my looks and a curvy body. But don't get fooled by my appearance itself. I am a straight A student since grade school and won trophies in science national contest and other academic tilts. Well, there's all about me, but for now let's get back to my story.
I'm ready for my first day in Clankson High and this year, will be as fabulous as what I see it.
After 15 minutes...
I hopped off my car and walked through the hallway. As always, people watched me as I took off my shades and flipped my hair aside.
"Wow, she's hot." "Yeah, who is she?" "Paige Sanders, if I'm not mistaken."
Yeah... I'm kinda getting used to that.
Then, someone came behind me, "Here comes the queen. Hurray!" She said with a sarcastic tone.
I turned around and saw a girl with a blonde hair, beautiful emerald eyes and is wearing a fabulous designer outfit... I would totally love to beat her look. She looks amazing.
"Madie! Oh thank God you showed up!" I gave her a hug and she happily returned it back.
"I did, I do not want to leave my baby alone and hopeless."
"Hey, I'm so not hopeless!" I replied and we both laughed.
We continued to walk and chat for a few seconds.
Madie is my bestest friend ever. We are neighbors for her house stands just across the street from mine. Her family transferred here 8 years ago from England so she's got that accent which really makes me jealous. But even though that's the case it's still okay for I always kick her ass with my sexy figure against her skinny body.
The bell rang and we went to our classroom to attend our first class, Chemistry. It did go well seeing as Mr. Cagleoff's fairly nice.
After another 2 hours, signaling that it's snack time and we headed to the cafeteria when we bumped into Aiden, Madie's older brother.
He's one year ahead of us and the quarterback of our school's football team. He's a jock and the number one guy in the campus who are being chased by 98% girls in the school. The remaining 2% counts me who isn't affected by his 'irresistible' charm and Madie who's obviously his sister.
It is because of his six-pack abs behind his gray t-shirt that shows how he has been working out and his 'captivating' eyes that's even darker than those of his sister. He's a few inches taller than me and muscles that well - somehow attractive.
He gave us those bad boy smirk then messed his dirty blonde hair with his hands.
"What?! May we pass? Step out-of-the-way before I hit you." Madie raised her eyebrow.
"Auwh, little sister, aren't you happy to see your handsome brother?" He tapped her shoulder but she slapped it away. I just stand there and watch them have a sibling conversation.
"We so have no time, right Paige?"
I didn't answer at first so she eyed me then I realized. "Oh, yeah. Get lost jerk." I tried to sound as rude as possible.
He shifted his gaze to me and I felt conscious for some reason, until he gave me those flirty tone. "Hello to you too sweet cheeks. Just a reminder, don't show off your body that much."
I gave him a puzzled look. He took the advantage to give me a low chuckle for being that clueless. Then he continued, "I saw you stripping off in your room last night. Nice view, it actually kinda entertained me."
He noticed that I'm beginning to turn red so he had the guts to say, "With ribbon in front, love to see more."
Aiden gave me a wink then left. Madie scoffed, "Hey come back here you jerk!"
I stood there as embarrassed as ever, then I cursed under my breath. "Shit, Aiden Richardson! You'll pay for this!" But he's so long gone so he didn't hear it. Ugh, damn that guy, he thought he's that smart and charming. I'll make him regret someday.
And the worst is, he mentioned something about the ribbon!

Chapter 2 - Dumping Girlfriend # 643
If you could ask me why out of all the girls in the world I am the one who hates Aiden most, then I have hundreds of listed reasons why. But out of those thousand horrible things, I've picked the 5 evil deed that he did for me all throughout those past 8 years:
1. That time I went to their house that fall. I was going upstairs to meet Madie, when he unleashed Kuki (breed: English Mastiff) so it chased me up to the 23rd street. I was screaming and freaking out that moment, I could remember its golden teeth and loud barks, I was that near to my death (not exaggerating).
He just laughed at me and told me that I looked like a puss and laughed even more. Curse him, if he only knew, I made him pay by feeding his favorite Prince Viper VI tennis shoes to the devil afterwards. Haha.
2. In my freshman year, I punched him on the face for annoying me all week and to my unluckiness Principal Wenrick sent me to his office.
According to him I've just 'harm a helpless boy in the perimeter of the school grounds'. So in that day, I got my very first warning and also my parents were never happy with that.
Well, I almost got him with a third attempt of violence. But it didn't work out.
3. Late in October he blackmailed me and bring me to this concert of Manowar just the two of us. Little do I have the knowledge about the band until I saw the venue of the suffocating lights and smell. I didn't know they play heavy metal, how nice.
You have no idea how many times I have rudely bumped into drunk guys and they almost picked up on me as seeing that I'm alone for Aiden, ...he left me in middle of a shouting death fans. I got home that time with a bruise on my shoulders with a messy hair. Ugh!
From then and there he promised to call off the blackmailing thing and actually, it made me pretty glad. Well, I won't tell you what the details are all about.
4. It is in the month of December when I really wanted the poodle that I saw in Meredith pet shop. I keep begging my dad to buy me some but he refuses to, because I accidentally drowned my pet dog into the lake when I was 11. Too much for tragic occasions, I called her Pamu and I missed her back then.
So, when it's Christmas, I was really surprised when Aiden brought me the poodle that I really wanted to have. But, to my stupidity, he grabbed it back and declared that it's a shit prank and that he was just borrowing it from a friend, so damn him again.
He laughed and laughed at me that's why Madie threw him out of the house.
It was a terrible insult. My ego just been knocked out.
5. It is prom and I was in sophomore year when this senior guy came up to me and asked me up. Well, his name's Frank Giovanni and he's totally hot and available. I was just going to have a great time when Aiden came into the picture.
I really have no idea how he had done it but he successfully drove Frank away and asked another girl instead. I was very furious and I gave him a silent treatment for like a couple of months (believe me I was planning to make it a year or so...).
God, what's his problem anyway?
Well, that makes him an ass. I hate him and even though he's my bf's brother, I don't care.
**************************************
After class Madie and I went shopping and ate at a restaurant near the shore which really screams a great view.
I am wearing a Boyod V neck Cinched waist top with black pants. While Madie on the other hand wears Leyendecker Turnout Blouse with Sequin Embellishment and Tibi High Waisted Leather Shorts.
"...Yeah, I will. Bye honey. Okay, luv yah!" Madie hung the phone then looked at me wearily. "P, I'm sorry. Would you mind if Daniel come here. I know it's girls' night but-"
I cut her off, "Sounds cool. But, who's Daniel, weren't you with Jake last month?"
"Well, that was last month. I moved on. He's just not for me, I guess."
She took a sip of strawberry shake thinking.
"Agreed, and he's a bad boy taking drugs and clearly, a psychopath one. Scary." I shivered a little.
But what made me think the most is Madie, spending her extra time finding that 'Mr. Right' to come along and always ended up heartbroken. She's such a sucker in love. When she falls, she falls hard and I'm always there to comfort her in the end.
"Shhh... he's here." She smiled widely and greeted the guy at the door.
He looks a little cute with blue v neck shirt and the rest of his outfit is black. He smiled at me and they both went to the table.
"Daniel, this is my friend, Paige, Paige, this is Daniel, my boyfriend."
"Oh hi, Daniel." Oh, he's got big hands, like big for a normal size. I blinked.
"Hi, nice to meet you Paige."
Then, we all talked about stuffs and pretty much, we're going along well. Then my phone rings...
"Excuse me." I went outside then took the call. "Hello mom-"
"Paige Angeline Sanders! Where the heck are you?" My mom raised her voice, loud enough for the whole city to hear.
I glanced at my watch and oh, it's already 9.
"Uh, don't worry I'm with Madie. Why, have you gotten home?"
"Young lady, don't change the subject. You better get home or else, you'll be sleeping outside."
Okay, okay... here we go again.
Before hung up, she added, "Be careful."
I quickly returned inside and said goodbye to the two of them. I drove all the way home safely and just as I was getting out of my car, I saw Aiden's car parked near their house. What caught my attention is that he is leaning his back on it and beside him is a girl who happens to be familiar.
I remember her at school, she's one of the school's cheerleader bitch with fake boobs and uber thick makeup. She's one of Aiden's fooled girlfriends. By judging their outfits, they look like they've gone on a date and judging by the girl's body movements she seems angry and Aiden is mostly annoyed.
"Good night, Aiden!" She spat and stormed off. On the other hand, the guy just jogged to his front lawn like anything didn't happen.
He didn't even say sorry to her or at least drive the girl home. It's very ungentleman of him. So rude.
I shook my head and went inside the house, quickly noticing that my mom's already in the living room, watching a game show.
"I'm already here so don't get angry. I drove here as fast as I could."
She gave me a sideway glance, "Good for you."
I hugged her and kissed her goodnight then went upstairs.
**************************************
Aiden's POV
I collapsed on my bed and immediately turned off my cell. I know that Sandra will be calling me after I've dumped her in front of my house.
I'm not the bad guy, it's just that I'm tired of being chased by those girls who I really don't give a damn about. It only gives me hell.
I got to my feet and stared out of the window. And I caught Paige's eyes and smirked at her. She seems surprised then in a second flashed her tongue at me which I playfully returned as well.
Then, she blocked me with her pink curtains. Well, I bet it's a goodnight from her so I went to my mini library and started reading some all-time bestselling books. It clears my mind other than stargazing and playing football.
**************************************
Chapter 3 - I Called Him Bitter
Another day...
Ah, what a beautiful day to start. As I open my windows the wind hit my face and I almost taste the cool breeze into my lips. I went downstairs to have some breakfast and found Shelga, our family cook in the kitchen. I took a piece of my blueberry pancake and an orange juice.
I was halfway through the pancake when dad came in the kitchen with the Daily Peterson and a briefcase in his hands. "Hey dad. How's the trip?"
He never took off his eyes in the paper. "Good. I'll be back in Hawaii tomorrow so it will be another exhausting day for me."
I hesitated to ask another question so I only managed an 'oh' expression. Dad is super workaholic and we barely see each other because of the nature of his job. He's the executive of a company that requires non-stop trip all around the world, since it is an international business. "I could send your cousin here if you want." He preferred.
"Dad? N-no, I mean..."
"Then it's settled, I will call Ethan to stay with you in a week or so."
My jaw dropped by the thought. Ethan is the kind of cousin who is overly protective to me. It's the last time when he caught me in a party with 75% of boys and he practically dragged me out of it then harshly drove me off. He's already a college guy and well, right now I can predict that this won't go well easily with him around.
Just as I thought, dad did that on purpose knowing that I will be an awful good girl in the hands of Ethan. Well, it's my consequence of being an only child. He trusts him a lot and also told me to set that guy as a freakin' example.
Well, I am me, not Ethan.
**************************************
As I got to school with purple D&G clicking as I take the walk, I immediately got to my locker and gathered my books. It's really natural for a brainiac to carry such books to her first class. Turning around, I caught a sight of the almighty Aiden talking to another girl with a curly raven hair.
She's in my Literature class, her name's Cassie Fordler.
"Why? What did I do wrong to you? I'm sorry baby but-" Her voice sounds weak and shaky.
"We're over. Done." I can't exactly see his expression but I can tell that he's not sorry for the girl.
The girl begun to cry but he just sigh and walk away, going to my direction. Maybe he sensed that I saw the drama so he stopped in front of me. I shot him a disgusted look.
"You really haven't changed, do you? Always insensitive and never caring for anyone but yourself." Now I'm feeling bad for all the girls who cried over him.
He didn't reply, he looked at me and I thought I saw guilt in his eyes. Wait guilt? But he managed to cover it somehow. I continued, "You shouldn't have done that. If you just treat girls like toys then don't ever think about it." I've ended my speech bitterly. He's so full of it, he's been that cruel guy.
"Are you done?" He put his hand in his pocket. "Considering that you don't know me that well, it would be nice to not make a stupid conclusion for what I do."
I gulped but I kept my face steady.
He came closer to me and I can almost smell mint all over him, if I weren't this focused I would've complimented him for that. "And why so angry, you weren't the girl whom I've broken up with. In fact we were never been together so what's the reason for you to shoot me with those accusations?"
There, Aiden just left me speechless. It was then that I am almost in the verge of kneeling his jaw but it occurred to me that he actually made a point.
I stood there without realizing that he was already gone and joined his cocky friends who were waiting for him all those time.
**************************************
Lunch time...
Madie met me after P.E and we walked together in the school's corridor. "Do you think that I'm attractive with pjs?" She told me with a humor in it.
"What are you talking about?" I laughed at her.
"I am serious."
"Who on earth told you that?"
"Jake-honey." Her tone shows that she's happy by mentioning his name.
"Ew, and you already call him honey. That's just corny."
Madie blocked my way which causes me to step back. "Hey, FYI, it's not 'ew' because it's sweet. And girl, you better find a boyfriend, like right now."
I rolled my eyes and she continued, "You should be enjoying the comfort of having someone to love you and hold you. Isn't it great? And talking about smooching-"
"No way, no smooching."
"Why don't you date anyone? I mean, you're beautiful and smart and funny. Every guy would really want to date you for sure."
"I'm trying to become a nun for a moment." I joked.
"More like a guyless virgin."
"Haha, you wish." I laughed sarcastically.
We walked in silence for about 2 seconds when I asked, "Where to tonight?"
"Hmm, let's come to my place, I think dad will be gone for they're attending this grand auction."
"Great, I'll bring movies and nail paint. 7?"
"How about 7:30."
"Okay, you say so. I didn't know you have an early affair with Jake. I know how much you've wanted to get him alone with you, right? "
She pinched me and we raced through the car.
**************************************
Afternoon... 3:30... I was going to my next class when--
"Miss, excuse me, can you please help me find the Arts room?"
I turned around and saw this charming guy that is smiling sweetly at me. Well, I better describe him. He has this pale complexion compared to Aiden's tan skin. He wore rich brown eyes paired with a dark chocolate-colored hair. And I can describe him as a music lover person for he has this headphone around his neck. All in all he has an energetic aura that seems cute.
"Oh, sure. Actually it's also my next class."
We walked together with a small distance from one another but really, I feel at ease with the guy even though I don't know him yet.
"By the way, I'm Aron." He offered his hand and I took it.
"Call me Paige. Is this your first day in the second day of classes?"
He looked at me then smiled. "Yeah. I wasn't able to go to school because we just moved here yesterday from Canada."
"Oh, wow, welcome to U.S.A then!"
"How did you know that it's my first day here?"
I hope to catch up with him. "Exception for I haven't seen you yesterday, you were asking question about the Arts room that you should now be familiarized considering that you were here the second time."
"I see your point." He glanced at the other students walking.
We finally reached the room and we waited for the bell to ring.
It has just been a day when people started to notice Aron and some girls were almost starting to flirt with him. Well, I'm not gonna blame him for that, he's a good guy to start with.
Just between us, we are quite getting along well.
**************************************
7:30 PM, I went to Madie's house to watch a movie, she prepared popcorn and coke for the two of us then stayed in the movie room to watch an Amanda Seyfried movie which we both love.
After the 2nd movie we've decided to watch a recorded concert of Katy Perry in Miami when Madie begins talking, "So, who's this Aron guy? I've heard that he's cute."
The thought of it made me smile, "Oh, the new guy, he came from Canada and-"
Madie turned to me and her voice is filled with excitement, "Oh my Gosh, P, I saw you two a while ago and you two seem like friends for a year already."
"Oh Madie, don't overreact we just bought a corn dog."
She examined her nails while saying, "You know, in my friendly opinion, you and Aron have chemistry going on."
Oh, don't you ever begin with it, Madie.
"Where is this conversation leading to?"
"Duh! Do I have to spell it out? You and Aron better go on a date that's what I'm trying to say. Oh, I love the color of my nails." She shifted her attention to her pink platinum manicured nails.
"I better get some more popcorn."
"Okay."
I went out of the room and headed to the kitchen where I saw him. I was startled for God's sake. It's their house, Paige, it's no doubt that you'll bump into him.
He didn't look at me but I know that he knows I am with him. He grabbed water from the fridge and came into the door when, he stopped. "Do me a favor, tell Madison to clean the room afterwards you two are done watching."
"Hmp, you're bitter and cold."
He turned to me and gave me bad boy smirk, "Deal with it."
He left and I climbed upstairs as well.
I hate you Aiden.

Then, she blocked me with her pink curtains. Well, I bet it's a goodnight from her so I went to my mini library and started reading some all-time bestselling books. It clears my mind other than stargazing and playing football.

Chapter 3 - I Called Him Bitter
Another day...
Ah, what a beautiful day to start. As I open my windows the wind hit my face and I almost taste the cool breeze into my lips. I went downstairs to have some breakfast and found Shelga, our family cook in the kitchen. I took a piece of my blueberry pancake and an orange juice.
I was halfway through the pancake when dad came in the kitchen with the Daily Peterson and a briefcase in his hands. "Hey dad. How's the trip?"
He never took off his eyes in the paper. "Good. I'll be back in Hawaii tomorrow so it will be another exhausting day for me."
I hesitated to ask another question so I only managed an 'oh' expression. Dad is super workaholic and we barely see each other because of the nature of his job. He's the executive of a company that requires non-stop trip all around the world, since it is an international business. "I could send your cousin here if you want." He preferred.
"Dad? N-no, I mean..."
"Then it's settled, I will call Ethan to stay with you in a week or so."
My jaw dropped by the thought. Ethan is the kind of cousin who is overly protective to me. It's the last time when he caught me in a party with 75% of boys and he practically dragged me out of it then harshly drove me off. He's already a college guy and well, right now I can predict that this won't go well easily with him around.
Just as I thought, dad did that on purpose knowing that I will be an awful good girl in the hands of Ethan. Well, it's my consequence of being an only child. He trusts him a lot and also told me to set that guy as a freakin' example.
Well, I am me, not Ethan.
**************************************
As I got to school with purple D&G clicking as I take the walk, I immediately got to my locker and gathered my books. It's really natural for a brainiac to carry such books to her first class. Turning around, I caught a sight of the almighty Aiden talking to another girl with a curly raven hair.
She's in my Literature class, her name's Cassie Fordler.
"Why? What did I do wrong to you? I'm sorry baby but-" Her voice sounds weak and shaky.
"We're over. Done." I can't exactly see his expression but I can tell that he's not sorry for the girl.
The girl begun to cry but he just sigh and walk away, going to my direction. Maybe he sensed that I saw the drama so he stopped in front of me. I shot him a disgusted look.
"You really haven't changed, do you? Always insensitive and never caring for anyone but yourself." Now I'm feeling bad for all the girls who cried over him.
He didn't reply, he looked at me and I thought I saw guilt in his eyes. Wait guilt? But he managed to cover it somehow. I continued, "You shouldn't have done that. If you just treat girls like toys then don't ever think about it." I've ended my speech bitterly. He's so full of it, he's been that cruel guy.
"Are you done?" He put his hand in his pocket. "Considering that you don't know me that well, it would be nice to not make a stupid conclusion for what I do."
I gulped but I kept my face steady.
He came closer to me and I can almost smell mint all over him, if I weren't this focused I would've complimented him for that. "And why so angry, you weren't the girl whom I've broken up with. In fact we were never been together so what's the reason for you to shoot me with those accusations?"
There, Aiden just left me speechless. It was then that I am almost in the verge of kneeling his jaw but it occurred to me that he actually made a point.
I stood there without realizing that he was already gone and joined his cocky friends who were waiting for him all those time.

Lunch time...
Madie met me after P.E and we walked together in the school's corridor. "Do you think that I'm attractive with pjs?" She told me with a humor in it.
"What are you talking about?" I laughed at her.
"I am serious."
"Who on earth told you that?"
"Jake-honey." Her tone shows that she's happy by mentioning his name.
"Ew, and you already call him honey. That's just corny."
Madie blocked my way which causes me to step back. "Hey, FYI, it's not 'ew' because it's sweet. And girl, you better find a boyfriend, like right now."
I rolled my eyes and she continued, "You should be enjoying the comfort of having someone to love you and hold you. Isn't it great? And talking about smooching-"
"No way, no smooching."
"Why don't you date anyone? I mean, you're beautiful and smart and funny. Every guy would really want to date you for sure."
"I'm trying to become a nun for a moment." I joked.
"More like a guyless virgin."
"Haha, you wish." I laughed sarcastically.
We walked in silence for about 2 seconds when I asked, "Where to tonight?"
"Hmm, let's come to my place, I think dad will be gone for they're attending this grand auction."
"Great, I'll bring movies and nail paint. 7?"
"How about 7:30."
"Okay, you say so. I didn't know you have an early affair with Jake. I know how much you've wanted to get him alone with you, right? "
She pinched me and we raced through the car.
**************************************
Afternoon... 3:30... I was going to my next class when--
"Miss, excuse me, can you please help me find the Arts room?"
I turned around and saw this charming guy that is smiling sweetly at me. Well, I better describe him. He has this pale complexion compared to Aiden's tan skin. He wore rich brown eyes paired with a dark chocolate-colored hair. And I can describe him as a music lover person for he has this headphone around his neck. All in all he has an energetic aura that seems cute.
"Oh, sure. Actually it's also my next class."
We walked together with a small distance from one another but really, I feel at ease with the guy even though I don't know him yet.
"By the way, I'm Aron." He offered his hand and I took it.
"Call me Paige. Is this your first day in the second day of classes?"
He looked at me then smiled. "Yeah. I wasn't able to go to school because we just moved here yesterday from Canada."
"Oh, wow, welcome to U.S.A then!"
"How did you know that it's my first day here?"
I hope to catch up with him. "Exception for I haven't seen you yesterday, you were asking question about the Arts room that you should now be familiarized considering that you were here the second time."
"I see your point." He glanced at the other students walking.
We finally reached the room and we waited for the bell to ring.
It has just been a day when people started to notice Aron and some girls were almost starting to flirt with him. Well, I'm not gonna blame him for that, he's a good guy to start with.
Just between us, we are quite getting along well.
**************************************
7:30 PM, I went to Madie's house to watch a movie, she prepared popcorn and coke for the two of us then stayed in the movie room to watch an Amanda Seyfried movie which we both love.
After the 2nd movie we've decided to watch a recorded concert of Katy Perry in Miami when Madie begins talking, "So, who's this Aron guy? I've heard that he's cute."
The thought of it made me smile, "Oh, the new guy, he came from Canada and-"
Madie turned to me and her voice is filled with excitement, "Oh my Gosh, P, I saw you two a while ago and you two seem like friends for a year already."
"Oh Madie, don't overreact we just bought a corn dog."
She examined her nails while saying, "You know, in my friendly opinion, you and Aron have chemistry going on."
Oh, don't you ever begin with it, Madie.
"Where is this conversation leading to?"
"Duh! Do I have to spell it out? You and Aron better go on a date that's what I'm trying to say. Oh, I love the color of my nails." She shifted her attention to her pink platinum manicured nails.
"I better get some more popcorn."
"Okay."
I went out of the room and headed to the kitchen where I saw him. I was startled for God's sake. It's their house, Paige, it's no doubt that you'll bump into him.
He didn't look at me but I know that he knows I am with him. He grabbed water from the fridge and came into the door when, he stopped. "Do me a favor, tell Madison to clean the room afterwards you two are done watching."
"Hmp, you're bitter and cold."
He turned to me and gave me bad boy smirk, "Deal with it."
He left and I climbed upstairs as well.
I hate you Aiden.
