Tutoring Mr Popular

Chapter 10

I stared at Austin blankly. Was he really going to make me jump into the cold water with him at 9:00, all because of some dare?

"Come on, Princess." He mocked, still holding his hand out.

I'll take that as a yes.

I nervously grabbed his hand so he could pull me up, brushing the sand off my shorts. I heard everyone cheering once we started walking towards the pier.

The walk to the pier was awkwardly silent, I looked over to see Austin run his hand through his hair. I'm guessing he feels just as awkward as me.

"Why did you choose me?" I asked, breaking the silence. Austin looked surprised at my question.

"Are you wearing a bikini underneath?" He answered, looking at my outfit.

"Yeah..."

"Question answered." He laughed, looking back towards the sea.

I stopped and glared at Austin as he carried on walking. He Laughed once he noticed that I had stopped and he started walking towards me.

"I'm kidding, it's just a bit of fun." He shrugged, slinging his arm across my shoulder. I looked up at him, he was looking back at me with his goofy smile. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Could you tutor me tomorrow?" Austin asked, as he stepped onto the pier.

"I'm not sure." I paused, "Maybe I don't care about your education." I laughed, remembering what Austin told Mrs McCarthy.

Austin scratched the back of his neck "Yeah, about that..."

"You're lucky I agreed to tutor you still!" I joked, we were halfway to the end of the pier.

"I'll meet you at your room at around 4 then." I nodded in agreement, "But don't slam the door on my face this time."

"I make no promises." I held my hands up in surrender, laughing.

I have to admit, this walk along the pier has changed my opinion on Austin completely. His not as bad as I thought.

Once we got to the end of the pier I took off my clothes, leaving my bikini underneath. Austin took his shirt off and left on his swim shorts, before showing off his perfectly shaped abs.

We both decided to sit on the edge of the pier before jumping.

"Um Bella." Austin started to say "About what happened the other day." His blue eyes shining into mine "I'm sorry."

Austin was giving me a real apology. I couldn't help but smile.

Austin's eyes never left mine, it was a perfect moment. Sitting by the sea, the sky looked beautiful. What could ruin it?

Oh, I forgot. I was sitting with Austin James. He smirked before picking me up bridal style and hanging me over the edge.

"Austin put me down!" I yelled, trying to get myself down.

It wasn't working.

"Put you down? Okay!" Austin's grip loosened and I felt like he was going to drop me in the sea before someone interrupted.

"Are you going to jump or not!?" Riley shouted, Austin and I Both turned our heads and we saw Riley, Mia and a few others, were all walking halfway up the pier.

Austin suddenly put me down, my feet landing on the wooden pier and not in the sea.

I then had a perfect idea, when I noticed Austin was stood quite close to the edge of the pier.
