If I believed there was a God and that he cared enough for us to hear our prayers, I would say that I'm one of them. But I don't believe in God and I don't believe anyone heard my prayers to stay alive as much as possible.
So I wished for Wilder to leave me alone and he did. For the most part of the day.
Like last time, he ignored me till lunch. When lunch came, hell broke loose...
After the encounter in the halls, I didn't have any classes with him, but people continued to bring his up. For instance, during economy class, students kept bugging me about the incident from yesterday.
" Psssst...are you the new girl that had a fight with Ares Wilder in the halls yesterday?" said the guy from my left.
" Do I look bruised up or anything like damaged to you?" I said turning my attention towards him.
" I guess not..." he said kind of disappointed.
" Hey! Are you the human that challenged the Alpha in the halls yesterday? How are you still alive?" asked a guy diagonally from me.
" I guess I just used their insides as hanging ropes." I said not even bothered to censor the brutality.
" Woah...that sounds so badass..." he said giving me a flirty look and daring to rake my body with his eyes while biting his lower lip.
God...he actually thinks that this is seductive...
" Yeah...badass... Listen here." I said lowering my self so he could hear me loud and clear, ' if you still want to keep looking after girls and their asses in hopes to get laid, I suggest you move your gaze up front or I'll scoop your eyes out like ice cream. Do I make myself clear?"
A gulp was heard and the scrapping of a chair on the floor caught my attention. I guess I wasn't that smooth cause the girl to my right, got up to move a few seats away from me.
Eyes were on me so I decided to use this opportunity to clear everyone of questions once and for all.
" Eyes on me everyone!" I said while getting up on my desk and waving my index finger in a circle to try and group them, " Everyone has questions about me so let me get a few things straight." I continued while turning around to see if anyone is actually listening to me. When I saw all of them watching, I continued, " I am not one of your friends or students. I am not one of you. Either if you consider yourselves animals or humans, as I got to realize in this school, people tend to make a difference that I don't see. Anyways, if any of you dares to make eye contact with me or ask any question besides school interest, I promise to rip his or her lungs out. Do I make myself clear?" they all nodded in response and I continued, " If you have any question, go pester your so called Alpha with them, not me!" and with that, I got down from my desk and took a seat.
" That was really badass!" said the guy from my left, towards me.
" What did I just say?" I turned to him pissed off.
" To not ask you questions?" he tried.
" And..."
" That you are not one of us?" he continued testing his grounds.
" Exactly! This means, no one talks to me, okay?" I didn't wait for an answer, I just turned around and started looking through my phone.
I was preparing to send my brother a text to let him know about my dream, but the teacher came in and decided to do his lesson, at the end, finishing with the famous phrase: you are the future of this world, bla bla bla... make us proud.
If you ask me, this is complete bullshit. Teachers use this phrase to motivate students to dream and hope in order to have something to cut down when it came to conciliation hours.
In my opinion, we are a generation of losers that suck on our parents' wallets for money and social status. No one would get up and do something about himself if he has it good in life. But anyway, enough with the teenage rage.
Continuing with my day, I survived french class and the two hours of arts and crafts in which I spent most of my time curving drawings in wood, just to let everyone know, in a non aggressive way, that I know how to use a knife.
When lunch came, I decided that maybe I should go and check on my baby while having a smoke.
Before heading in the parking lot, I passes by the vending machine to buy some food and not kill everyone cause I'm hungry. I can be very dangerous if I don't have my food. Weird thing, judging by the fact that I don't eat in the morning.
While standing in line, someone bumps into me, hands first, trying to grab my ass.
" Why is everyone testing me today?" I say under my breath before turning around to see my future victim.
Turning slowly, I see a group of guys standing behind me, the author of the "accident" trying to keep his cool while his friends were on the ground laughing.
" I take it you aren't into guys." he said taking a step closer to me, " maybe it's because you haven't met the right one yet."
" Or maybe it's because none of them got to have balls after what you did." I said imitating him and crossing my arms over my chest.
" Scary..." he said looking back for approval. " How about you came at my place after school to tell me some more." he said while closing the gap between us. And mind you, we were in line, waiting for the vending machine.
I decided that humiliating him by putting him down won't cut it this time, so I decided to play along. I grabbed his shirt, pulling him closer to me and leaned close to his face. " Tell me, where do I wait for you?" I said while looking him in the eyes.
" Wait? You are really coming?" he said surprised cutting all my vibe.
Noob...
" How could I let it pass the chance to hang out with a handsome guy like you" I trailed my hands up and down his chest while trying my most seductive voice, " in the living room" I continued moving my right hand close to his jaw, " or your room" I said bringing my other hand to his other side and whispering in his ear.
The guy was about to say something, when a strong grip pulled him backwards. To say that I was pissed was close, but to say that I was fuming and ready to send someone to the infirmary would sound more realistic.
" You don't touch her!" growled a voice before a fist made contact with the poor guy's face. " You don't look at her!" the voice boomed again, lending another punch, "And you don't breath her way! You hear me?!" the voice echoed before landing another punch, sending a livid guy to the floor.
" You know..." I said lifting my eyes from the bloody mess that was on the floor, " I was about to do the exact same thing and I would've been glad to do it too. I would have actually enjoy it." I said as a matter of fact, looking at the person that threw the punch, just to see that it was Ares Wilder.
" I know. But he was looking at what was not his!" he said straightening himself and marching towards me. " I don't like it when people take what's not theirs."
" This is a way too romantic way to say that I'm technically your. Thing that I'm not. And it sounds way too inappropriate for both of us, judging by the relationship we are having now." I said taking a few steps to be face to face with him. Just like the first time I saw him.
" I wasn't saying..." he tried finding his words. " I wasn't..." he tried again. " What I wanted to say was..."
" That you think that I'm yours just because you consider me a human and that you think you are the Alpha. Is that what you wanted to say?" I finished for him.
" No. What I wanted to say is..." he tried again, but failed.
" You know what?! It doesn't matter. It really doesn't. Discussion forgotten." I said fake zipping my mouth and throwing the key.
I turned to look at the line and seeing that everyone cleared out when Ares became all ballistic on the guy that now lies unconscious on the ground, I stepped towards the machine, grabbed my chips and coke and left for the parking lot.
I didn't bother to check if Ares would be hot on my heels, knowing that I just embarrassed him. I just took my phone out and started texting my brother.
When I got close enough to my bike to see that someone was checking it out, it took all I had not to rip the guy's head off.
" The last person that looked like that at my baby, left without legacy." I said when I approached him.
" It's a beauty. I mean, the model isn't even out yet and here she it, parked in Silver Gate High School's parking lot." he said wowed and tried to touch it.
" I wouldn't do that if I were you." I looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.
" Why would you say that?" he said and continued looking at my Streetfighter.
" Ummm...I don't know... maybe because the owner is crazy about her motors and if anyone touches what's hers, she either kills it or kills the family tree..." and as soon as my words fell from my mouth, he turned around and started staring at me.
" You are..." he started, " You are the..." he said but never finished.
Seeing that he won't snap out of it anytime soon, I fished out my pack of cigarettes and popped one in my mouth, searching for a lighter to light it up.
" You must be..." he tried again, opening and closing his mouth like a fish on dry land.
Should I let him suffocate. Or further make my reputation increase...? I like the last one better.
I took a drag out of it, before stepping closer to him and grabbing his collar with my hands.
" Look..." I said blowing the smoke in his face, " you seem like a nice person that knows his motors and bikes and everything with an engine and that's why I will let you go without even touching a string of your hair." I said displaying a smile. " Now... if you care for your life, I suggest you start running for your life before I change my mind and use your intestines as a jumping rope." I said looking him in the eyes.
He nodded in between my arms and after his affirmation, I arranged his collar and petted his chest before letting him go.
Damn... he's a fast runner...
I turned around to take a seat on my bike when I collide with a human wall, chest first, sending me flying on my butt.
" We have to stop meeting like this" said the wall.
I got up and looked at my broken cigarette, cursing under my breath and throwing a punch in the direction of the voice.
My weakened hook, from the last night's evens, was caught mid-air ( no surprise there), in a hand bigger than mine.
" Now, now... We would't want to damage your hand even more than last time." said the voice and than I realized I had to lift up my gaze.
I jerked my hand out of his grip and spitted out, " Ares Wilder. To what do I owe you the pleasure?"
" Not much. Just wanted to see if that beast of yours was actually real." he said checking my baby out.
" She is real all right." I was getting pissed off and things were about to go south.
" I see that now." he said leaning in and inspecting it. " Very nice..." he commented.
" Hey, jerkface! No touching." I said waving my hands in a squeezing motion.
" Ok, sorry..." he said lifting them up.
" What do you want?"
" Me? Nothing special..." he said giving my bike a tour.
" You can't tell me you came all the way from the school just to check my bike out."
" Why? Is that that hard to believe" he lifted his eyes and looked at me.
" After the show you put out there and me embarrassing you... Yeah, I guess it's a little hard to see it." I went to my motor and seated myself on it.
" Well... reality beats imagination." he turned around to get in front of me.
" Cheers to that!" I said lifting the coke to my mouth and taking a sip.
" Look... I wanted to talk to you." Wilder said while putting his arms around my sides, blocking me with his chest.
" And I tried to avoid you." I said taking another sip from my drink.
" I can see that. And I also see that it's not working."
" Hmmm... I wonder why?!" I said more to me than him.
" What did you say? You know what?! Never mind. I came here with a purpose."
" You mean annoying me isn't part of you game?" I teased him.
" Can you shut up for once and let me talk?!" he screamed at me.
" I would if you weren't suck a jerk!" I spitted out, getting closer to his face.
" God! You are so annoying." frustration making its way into his voice, " Why can't you be like the other ones?! An easy pray?"
" Because I'm not an animal. As I said before, not an animal and I hate it when you call me a human being. I know I'm a homo sapiens sapiens, but I don't need you to remind me."
" Could you please just stop talking for once and listen to me?!"
" Probably when I'm dead. That, obviously, after I record myself talking just so I could annoy you and put it on re-" I was cut out from my sentence when Ares crushed his lips to mine.
He started kissing me with passion and even though every muscle from my body was trying to oppose him, he was winning and so I gave in.
Ares positioned himself in between my legs, spreading them open and I wrapped them around his body without breaking the contact.
He started moving his hands around my waist, circling one arm around it and picking me up. With one surprised scream from my throat, he rounded my bike and got to the nearest car, pinning me under him.
I guess the way too familiar feeling of metal on my back, made me realize who I was with and I regained conscious.
" Wilder, stop!" I said pushing him off me, but he didn't move. " Damn it Wilder, don't make me break your nuts." I said while he was making his way to my neck. " Wilder! You know I'm not joking!" and that was the final warning.
I punched his rib cage, knowing how painful that would be for him, but I had no other opening. In response, he growled in pain and dropped me to my feet.
" I warned you!" I threatened him
" What was that for?" he asked confused, grabbing his ribs.
" I told you to stop! And you didn't!"
" This is not how you break a kiss, woman!"
" This is not how you kiss, dumbass!"
" You kissed me back!"
" So what?! You are the one that started it!"
" That's because you asked for it!"
" I did what now?!"
" Look! Lets calm down and forget about this." he said while rubbing his temples.
" I agree. It was becoming way too childish..."
Remember when I said that things were going great? I don't consider this as great. I consider this humiliating and embarrassing and I wish to brain wash myself from this awkward moment.
But one thing was for sure. I wasn't going to drop this until he would tell me what he came for.
