TEMPTATION
CHAPTER 2: NiceTo Meet You
Catalina’s P.O.V
I sat at the lunch table with Taylor and some other girls. “Catalina what do you think?”
I scooted my chair into the table before picking up my fork. “About what?”
“Do you think that Ashley should go out with Brandon? I mean he is like really cute”
Ashley interrupted “He’s not cute guys…..he’s hella hot!”
I opened my mouth; ready to speak my opinion, but everybody’s attention focus to Harry walking in the door.
I swear he’s making life a living hell right now; I can’t even have a proper conversation without him interrupting everything.
Taylor turned back around along with Ashley. “I swear I would trade him over Brandon any day” Ashley said.
I opened my mouth with annoyance “I really don’t know what you guys see in him…..he’s just like any other guy here. Give him a few days and he’ll be stuck over there with the Jocks” we all look over there at them, Brandon was popping a grape in his mouth; trying not to laugh.
Ashley leaned in closer, trying to say something private. “You know I hear he’s from England…..oh guys there are extremely hot!!”
“And there accents!” Taylor added, they both swooned over the thought. “Actually I never heard him talk before”
“But he sits next to you in first period?”
Ashley almost hopped over the table “He’s your chem partner?”
“Yeah so”
“So, you have a chance oh….you have it good cat.”
I shook my head as I turned to look over at him. He was concentrated on something in his hands, probably he was texting his beautiful girlfriend. I returned my focus back to them.
“Hey, Cat are you going to Nick’s party tomorrow?”
“I don’t know, I heard those party’s get out of hand.”
Ashley shrugged her shoulders “That was only one time, Mason drunk too much and accidently (she put her fingers in quote) slipped down the stairs.”
We started gradually getting up from out table going to dump our food. I peeked one more time at him. His eye’s came in contact with mine, I didn’t know what to do….I wanted to turn around and walk away as fast as I could. But I felt like I couldn’t move’ like he set a spell on me “Hey you coming cat?”
I broke our gazing connection and turned to walk their way.
God! He was truly hot! But I know that he wasn’t looking at me, it can’t be me! He probably was looking at the Jocks behind me.

Harry’s P.O.V
Bobby:
Bobby I have to go, she’s on the move
I slipped my phone back in my pocket as I made my way down the aisle. I was on my way to the door when my eye caught something that was on the now vacant table that they were sitting at.
I took a couple steps back and headed that way, I picked up the book. I examined it from the back to the front; I didn’t know where to find the name. I opened the first page ah! There was a name; I leaned in closely squinting my eyes.
-Catalina Mendez-
I closed the book, and tried to catch up to them as they were starting their way down the hall.
They stopped at one of their lockers and grabbed something, I hurried and hid behind an in way to a class; overhearing their conversation.
“So your telling me that, you don’t think that the new guy is at least slightly cute?”
I viewed more over from behind the wall to see who said that. I saw Catalina open her mouth in protest “He’s cute (I danced a smile on my face)…but he’s not my type” My smile slipped into a frown.
They started making their way down the hall again, I walked slowly behind them making sure to keep a distance. Then they stop, I quickly leaped into the in way to the girls bathroom, leaning around the wall to see them. “What’s not your type Cat?”
“Mmmm…..Let me see. A guy who comes to our school and thinks he’s too good to talk to anybody” A blonde girl interrupted “C’mon Cat maybe he’s shy, he is new”
I smiled at the gesture thank you! I continued to listen “Please. Him. Shy?”
I leaned back around the corner to see Catalina talking “Do you see how amazing he look’s? The girls are acting shy around him!”
“Whatever ha-ha-ha” said this other girl with light brown hair.
“Guys I have to go to class I’ll see you later”
They all parted down different hallways, I turned down Catalina’s hallway. I slowly eased my way closer and closer to her, until she turned around “Are you following me?”
My eye’s got big from how straight forward she was “Um, no love I was just…”
She held her hand up in protest. “My name is Catalina…. continue”
She had annoyed look on her face.

Catalina’s P.O.V
My face was annoyed now, even though I was nervous as hell……I could surely see through his devious player smile. “Well Catalina, you forgot this”
He held out the book to me, I took it reluctantly “Is there anything else? Harry”
He shoved his one hand in his pocket as he laid the other on the back of his neck. “You know you’re actually nice when a person gets to know you”
I didn’t know what to say….I actually am.
“So?”
He walked closer to me now “If you want our assignment done then you have to be nice to me”
I was ambivalent if I should stay where I am or take a step back. I was frozen. His eyes were captivating my soul; they were so green and vivid and they were right there in my face. “There’s a thing called a bubble”
He stepped even closer “I can see right through you Mrs. Mendez, you picked out your colleges already Harvard, Princeton, Yale……but you can’t choose because you’re stubborn and selfish”
I open my mouth in protest but he interrupts “You stay up late at night trying to please either your father or mother trying to get perfect scores and choose the right college”
Suddenly I have courage to step away, he stays where he is “Your, eye’s Catalina. Those cold, dark hazel eyes are surprisingly irresistible”
He tipped his head sideways as if to study me from a new angle “And that killer curvy mouth”
“That’s it I’m out of here”
But as soon as the words were out my mouth, I knew they weren’t true. I felt the urge to say something more. Picking through the thoughts tangled in my head, I tried to find what it was I felt I had to say. Why was he so derisive, and why did he act like I’d done something to deserve it?
“You seem to know a lot about me” I said, making the understatement of the year. “More than you should know. You seem to know exactly what to say to make me uncomfortable”
“You make it easy.” A spark of anger fired through me. “You admit you’re doing this on purpose?”
“This?” he said
“This---provoking me”
He stepped closer “Say ‘provoking’ again. Your mouth looks provocative when you do.”
“We’re done” I walked away, taking one more look behind my shoulders. But he’s gone, just like that.
I sat at the lunch table with Taylor and some other girls. “Catalina what do you think?”
I scooted my chair into the table before picking up my fork. “About what?”
“Do you think that Ashley should go out with Brandon? I mean he is like really cute”
