After two weeks of practically avoiding all the people I know at school, I'm beginning to think that I'll do a good job as an undercover spy.
Maya hasn’t stopped blowing my phone with calls and messages while Cole keeps dropping sticky notes and flowers by my locker side. He’s such a sweet child.
While Damon on the other has not said a word to me since the day he came over to my house, he’s basically acting like the kiss never happened.
I'm not really mad at them anymore, I was never even mad at Maya but I've been doing a lot of thinking and planning so I don't really want to have conversations with anyone. I wouldn’t have had a problem remaining at home for a few more days, but my mother was already talking doctor’s appointment and what not when I told her I didn’t feel better yet.
As for Miller, he has kept threatening me with the pictures and unfortunately he has been the only person keeping me company at school.
Isn't that fantastic?
Sarcasm fully intended.
The asshole is my major reason for avoiding people especially Damon. I'm not sure I can face him after crying right in his face and then almost kissing him.
I'm seriously beginning to think he has an idea of what's going on between myself and Barry Miller. He will definitely be able to connect the dots.
I had the perfect revenge that will stop Miller for good, but I dropped it when I went digging further.
Apparently he takes drugs and even sells to some students. This information could get him both expelled and arrested, it's perfect, he'll be too busy dealing with all this s**t to even remember me and by the time he'll be free, I'd be out of here. But I went further with my research in hopes of getting more dirt on him and that's when I got a change of heart.
I found out his dad got involved in a terrible accident two years ago and has been in a coma since then, it crushed his family. His mother has been dealing with depression ever since, his sister left them and hasn't been in contact with them ever since. It has been a tough time for them financially, they are barely able to make ends meet because a lot of money is spent on his dad's medical bills.
If I spill his secret, he'll be kicked out of the school team hence losing all his scholarships for both high school and college, he won't be able to sell drugs anymore and that's apparently where he gets money to help with the medical bills which will put his dad's life on the line, his mum will probably lose her last strand of sanity.
Despite how much of an asshole I am, I know how terrible it feels losing someone you love and I don't ever want anyone to experience it.
So here I am, forced to hangout with him and follow his orders till I find a way of stopping him without hurting his family.
I heard the bell signaling the end of AP Computer Science and I couldn't be happier.
I spaced out for more than half of the class, high school drama does that to you.
It was time for lunch and despite hating the fact that I'll have to sit with Miller, I'm happy that I get to eat.
******************************************
"We could all meet at my place." Miller said taking a fry from my plate.
I felt like punching him in the face, the asshole is just lucky he has s**t against me.
"Yeah that's a good idea." One of his jock friends said.
"You coming? You don't seem up for it." A guy whose name I think is Sebastian asked looking my way.
I was about replying him but Miller beat me to it.
"Of course she is. Right babe?" Miller said pressing a firm kiss to my forehead. Anyone would think that was a cute action, but I knew that it was a warning for me not to go against him or say anything stupid.
Who even organizes a party the night before Thanksgiving? That's quite crazy.
"Yeah. I'll be there." I said putting on my best fake smile. I didn’t want to be anywhere near him or any of his friends.
"So it's settled then, we'll all meet at my place by 9 pm next week Wednesday." Miller said smiling victoriously.
I was still groaning internally and praying for the bell to go for the end of lunch break when Miller did what I least expected.
He pulled my face towards him and kissed me. I couldn't pull back because his grip was tight around me and I knew there may be consequences if I pushed him away. I felt his hands moving all around my body. This was totally disgusting. I wish no one was here with me, so I could give him some serious beating.
He finally pulled away from me and smirked. I looked in the direction his eyes were focusing.
Damon, Cole, Jeffrey and Maya all glared our way.
That explains a lot.
Miller is such a jerk.
He waved at them and I guess that was the last straw. Damon stood up briskly and started walking towards our table but Cole and Jeffrey stopped him and pulled him out of the cafeteria. They all looked pissed.
Few minutes later, Cole came back and to get their bag packs and left after saying something to Maya. Maya trailed right after him but not before giving me a questioning look.
My phone buzzed immediately, it was a message from Maya.
12:21 pm
MAYA
I have no idea what you're doing with that asshole, but if it's a way of punishing us, you really need to stop. You don't know how much it's messing feelings up. We're sorry about the video.
I could not keep watching her feel guilty. That video was not her fault.
I have to find a way to stop Miller and I have to do it fast.
