The Lust Of Pride

Chapter 13

Zane started walking in circles, panicking about the broken machine, and looking around to see if anyone saw it up in smokes. He stared at the machine concerned, thinking about how he is going to fix it, but as a single can of coke suddenly dropped out of the machine, he looked to see if there are any students around, and as he saw no one,

He quickly grabbed the coke and started to walk away from the machine, hoping that someone would not suspect him of breaking it, thinking as he walked,

“It’s just a minor problem, someone else will fix it, I just hope someone doesn’t trace it back to me”,

Saying that as he exhaled his panic, and continued to walk down the hall.

As minutes pass by, he arrived back at the art club room, he placed his snacks on an open table, and looked at the painting,

“Hmmm, I guess I have to scrap this if nothing turns up”.

He grabbed the painting and placed it at the corner of the room, “I’ll just make a new one to pass the time”.

He got another canvas and placed it on the easel, and as he looked at the blank white canvas, he grabbed his sketchbook and searched for any unfinished sketch, but found nothing, he then grabbed his bag and rummage it for any sketches, and still found nothing,

He continued to rummage around his stuff for any papers that have his sketches, he kept doing this for moments, making a mess in the room, until he remembered the train that he got in, the sketch that he drew while he was inside, he hurriedly walked outside the room, heading towards his locker, thinking as he does so,

“Hope I don’t run into anyone, especially…

 her”.

Meanwhile

Waiting silently, as Sam sat by the bleachers of the gym, while Kevin kept annoying her with questions that he answers himself, every single word that came of his mouth, only made Sam angrier and more enraged as she waited, thinking to herself continuously,

“Katy, where in the heck are you?!?”.

As they waited, Kevin in his ego started to complain, wanting for Sam to call her friend,

“Come on girl, I beginning to think your friend isn’t coming, too bad but hey I am still here if you want me to be your friend, hehehe”.

Sam slowly moved her eyes towards Kevin, seeing his wide smile and handsome face as he laughed and giggled, giving Sam his hand for friendship, as she gazed at Kevin with all of his beauty and demeanor, Sam slowly thought an echo in her head, tempting her,

“Soon…I’m going to beat up your face until it is disfigured”.

Kevin kept on annoying her more, conversations about himself and his achievements, and because of this, Sam was about to do anything for him to shut up, and so she looked around the room, searching for someone to pass on as her friend, but no one that she examined was capable, and so she continued to endure Kevin’s bravado,

Every word in every sentence she persisted the temptation to stitch his mouth shut, until she took a glance at the entrance of the gym, as a certain someone emerged from the corner of the hall,

She immediately got up and ran towards the student, and as she jumped and grabbed the student’s arm, rubbing her soft blond hair against the student’s shoulder, she looked up to the student’s face and smiled wide, uttering a word as she prepared her soft voice for her to speak,

“There you are hehe, I was waiting for you…”

“Zane”.

Sam made Zane confused and shocked as she hugged his arm,

“Un…believable”, Zane thought.

He tried to escape her grasp, but Sam’s grip was too strong for him to shake off, Zane quickly snapped at her,

“Get off me girl!!!”.

“Oh come on, you know you can call me by my first name since you know, we are…close after all hehe”.

Sam slowly began to wave her finger across Zane’s chest, gently caressing it, while Zane continued to shake her off and resisting her charm, and as Sam continued to caress his chest, her finger slowly went downwards to his pants, while Zane shouted in his head,

“What…in the f**k!?! I have to do something qui-“.

Sam and Zane were interrupted by someone walking into their sights, making a face of jealousy as the student gazed at them and spoke,

“So…this is your friend”.

As Kevin crossed his arms as he looked at Zane directly in his eyes, and Zane does the same, while Sam lets go of his arm,

“Kevin, this is my friend Za-“.

“I already know him…”, Kevin said.

Kevin then walked up to Zane, looking at Sam then back to him,

“hmmm, I’m impressed that you made a friend Mayton, especially a pretty one”,

“She’s not my friend”, Zane replied.

“Oh come on don’t be like that, you’ll break the poor girl’s heart, why not you two come with me, it will be fun”.

As Kevin lifted his arm to place it on Zane’s shoulder, he said to him,

“Who knows, maybe you’ll find a proper…girlfriend hehe”.

But before his hand reach Zane’s shoulder, he quickly grabs his hand, slowly clenching for him to feel pain, and whispered to Kevin,

“Don’t you…touch me”.

Kevin quickly took one step away from Zane, being slightly angered and annoyed by his action, but calmed himself enough to speak,

“Fine, then ill just take Samantha to hang out then, without you”,

 Saying that as he walked towards Sam, asking her as he held out his hand,

“Come on girl, it’s obvious that your so-called friend doesn’t want to join, why don’t hang out with me instead, besides I’m better company than him”.

Sam began to feel disgusted and disdain as she saw his ego in front of her, trying to refuse his offer,

“Actually I-“.

She was interrupted as Zane suddenly went in front of her, facing towards Kevin,

“She isn’t going with you and your friends Kevin”.

Kevin stared at Zane’s eyes as he shielded Sam, putting his hand down, and started to furiously insisted Sam to come with them,

“You are not her boyfriend Mayton, so let her make this decision herself and if she agrees then you can happily…fuck off”.

Instead of being enraged, Zane uttered a giggle of a silent laugh, and replied to Kevin,

“I would love to, but even if she agrees, you wouldn’t even get the chance to touch her, because she won’t let your narcissistic ass lay a finger, hahaha”.

“You son of a b..”.

Kevin let his rage fell on him, making his hand grab Zane by his collar,

“What did you say to me?!?”,

“I said…you are a narcissistic…son of a b***h, hehe”.

Kevin in his rage, lifted his arm and clenched it as hard as he can, and started to swing it towards Zane’s face, not giving a care about anything other than his rage, but as his fist almost touched Zane’s nose,

“STOP!!!”.

Kevin stopped as someone’s voice echoed throughout the halls, making Zane, Sam, and Kevin look towards the one that uttered the voice, and as they looked together, all three of them, silently said a word,

“Not…this again,” Zane said.

“Hmmm”, Sam muttered.

While Kevin opened his eyes wide as he saw the figure, telling himself as he stood there in bated breath,

“Y…You!?! Not f*****g now”.

“This…is going to be interesting”.
