Letters And Lies

No panties tomorrow

Chapter six— No panties tomorrow

Phoebe's POV

I could barely concentrate on what Mrs Ella was saying, my phone kept buzzing in my bag with multiple messages from Seth.

As if making me carry his bags all day wasn't enough, he chose to ruin my peace in class as well.

I exhaled in annoyance as I reached for the phone in my bag pack and took it out without Mrs Ella's notice.

He sent fourteen pointless messages just to distract me.

“Stop ignoring my messages.” his last message read.

“Stop distracting me.” I typed back immediately before hitting the ‘block contact’ icon on the screen.

There, now I could finally concentrate.

Mrs Ella padded across the classroom with her tablet in her arm as she talked about the history of London.

I tried to pay attention but the pit I felt in my stomach worsened things for me.

What if—?

My thoughts were disrupted by the loud bang of the door being pushed down.

I stiffened in my seat, eyes wide in shock.

“May I help you Mr Astor?” Mrs Ella asked, staring at him.

Seth stood in front of the door, his eyes burning into mine like a hawk.

“Phoebe.” he called, walking towards me.

My heart hammered violently against my chest as he came in front of me.

He grabbed my wrist and jerked me from the chair. “Let's go.”

Before I could protest, he dragged me out of the classroom, leaving the whole class in shock and confusion.

No one dared to stop him, not even Mrs Ella.

He dragged me out to the hallway before he finally stopped midway.

“You’re insane.” I spat, yanking my hand away.

“Why did you block me?” he asked, taking a step closer.

I stepped back before answering his ridiculous question. “You were distracting me in class, it was annoying.”

His eyebrows folded slightly. “Well class is over, you're coming with me.” he tried to grab my wrist again but I moved back.

“Where are we going?” I asked. “I need to get back to class.”

“We have homework, kitty cat. Let's go.” he said, his voice sounding harsh.

What homework?

“What homework? Please Seth, let me go back to class, I can't miss my classes for you.” I said but it seemed he had turned deaf.

He narrowed his eyes down at me as he took a step closer to me, I kept moving back until my back hit the cold pillar behind me and he caged me in with both arms

He leaned even close, his lips were inches apart from my touching my ear. “You're my personal assistant, kitty cat. You will respond whenever I call you, unless…”

I pushed down the lump in my throat. The silence between us spoke louder than whatever I had to say.

A faint smirk formed at the corner of his lips as he stepped back and he finally let go of me.

“I'll meet you in the library.”

He turned and began to walk down the hallway like nothing happened.

I balled my fist hard by my side, frustration eating beneath my skin.

“Argh!!”

When I got to the library, Seth had already picked out a seat for us.

I couldn't stop glaring at him as I sat opposite him.

Not like he even gave a f**k. He was enjoying every bit of this.

After a moment, he dropped a textbook in front of me. “Page 43, question 1 to 30. Begin.”

I blinked, confused. “Excuse me?”

He exhaled loudly, rubbing his temples as if he had the right to be pissed. “It’s my homework and you're going to do it.”

I haven't even done my own homework and he sat there asking—rather, commanding me to do his?

Of course he could. I signed his f*****g contract and now I could only regret.

“A pen and a book.” I muttered, clenching my fist under the table.

He gladly tossed a notebook and pen forward before leaning back into the chair comfortably.

Lucky for me, statistics was my favorite subject so solving the questions wasn't that hard.

One hour went by quickly.

Seth had wandered off minutes ago to do whatever while I was left to earn him good grades.

The sound of heels clicking the tiles echoed from the doorway as Summer and her minions stepped into the library.

I glanced at her once and went back to what I was solving.

Unfortunately, she was walking towards me.

“Hey nerd.” she uttered, hitting my head lightly.

When I didn't respond, she snatched the pen in my hand.

“Give it back, summer.” I said, softly.

She shook her head, smiling in mischief. “I’m not going to give it back, what are you going to do? Call the Librarian?"

Her minions—Stella and Vivian laughed behind her.

I wasn't interested in their games so I just took another pen from the desk but she still took that one away.

“Stop it summer!” I snapped, standing on my feet.

Her eyes went wide for only a moment but she chuckled like I was being funny.

“Go on, shout. I love it when you bark.”

The number of times I clenched my fists was enough to leave an injury, yet I couldn’t control it.

She poked my shoulder with one of the pens. “Bark, b***h!”

She tried again but before I could even retaliate Seth came in front of me and held her hand.

“Watch it summer, that could hurt someone.” he said in a soft tone like she was a nine year old.

Summer laughed nervously, tossing the pens aside. “I'm sorry Seth, I was only showing Phoebe something in the textbook.”

“LIAR!” I wanted to scream at the top of my voice but then again, why would I want to justify myself to someone like Seth?

He would clearly side with her.

He gave a small nod and sat back on his seat. “Okay.”

“We're not done, kitty cat. Sit down.” he added.

A dry scoff escaped my lips but I sat back and picked up the pen again.

He looked up at Summer after a moment. “Aren’t you leaving?”

Summer blinked, stunned. She opened her mouth to speak but the words didn't form.

She scoffed and walked out of the hall with her two minions behind her.

I scoffed, annoyed by their presence.

Seth kept staring at her until she disappeared into the hallway.

I noticed how his lips curved into that wicked smirk I was starting to hate.

“what?” I asked.

He leaned forward, clasping his fingers on the desk. “Tomorrow..” he began in a whisper. “You’re not wearing anything under your uniform.”

I froze.

“No bra…” he continued, reaching for a strand of my hair and rolled it in his finger. “No panties.”

My breath caught in my throat. Heat rushed to my face so fast, I felt dizzy.

“You…you can't be serious.” I whispered, my voice shaking.

“Oh, I'm very serious.” He pulled back, throwing his arm over the chair so I could look at him properly.

“You'll walk around all day knowing one wrong move and everyone might just find out how much of a dirty girl you really are.”

He stood up, picking the books up like he didn't just drop a bombshell on me.

“See you tomorrow, kitty cat.”

He brushed a strand of my hair behind my ear. “Be a good girl and obey, kitty cat…or I'll make sure the school reads your letter.” he said, his fingers lingering on my neck before he walked out.

I sat there, frozen in my spot, heart racing and a terrifying warmth spreading through my body.

What the hell had I just agreed to?
