Mallory's Pov
I came out of the sick bay, minutes after the bell was rung for closing hours and I saw students rushing to the front of the hall as if something was going on there.
Jacob!
I also rushed to the gathering. I pushed my way through to the front and I saw Ella on the floor, with mascara tear stains on her face.
She looks devilish like that.
"I didn't even touch you." Jacob said calmly. "So, how will you say I pushed you?" He asked again.
"If you didn't push me, why would I be on the floor?"
"I didn't touch you!" He said between gritted teeth. "Don't make me loose my temper."
"If you loose your temper, I'm gonna fix it for you." She said as she made that puppy face again.
The students ended up laughing and I frowned.
How is this funny?
Jacob raised his hand and everywhere became silent.
"Are you new here?"
"Yes............Ella Brandton." She said as she smiled.
Get a grip, girl!
People are here!
And then, I saw something!
Her eyes!
They glowed, just now!
I looked closely again, but they were normal.
Was that real?
Or my imagination?
She stretched out her hand all of a sudden and it flashed before my eyes.
If he takes that hand, he would be kissed.
Kissed?
As if, he wouldn't like it.
What if he does not like it?
Arrrrgh!
What do I do?
Why would she even wanna kiss him after trying to slap him in the morning?
Something is really off right now.
She had better not kiss him 'cos I would roast her alive.
Is that jealousy?
I scoffed
Absolutely not!
I better butt in.
Jacob reached over to shake the hand and I stepped out.
"Hey, Canavesi!" I called out and he turned to face me immediately.

Ella's Pov
Who the hell is Mallory Waston?
Of course, I know
But, why is she always interfering?
I saw her walk over to him.
"I wanna hold you." She said as she made a cute face.
And then, she hugged him suddenly.
My eyes widened in shock.
Just kill me!
I stood up, went over to my bag and I escaped the school.
This day is a nightmare, all thanks to a girl named Mallory.
I will bring you down, Mallory!

I pulled away from him and he has shock visibly written on his face.
The gathered crowd were not left out of this sight, either. I looked around for Ella but she was nowhere in sight.
Jacob grabbed my hand suddenly and he pulled me away.
I am in it already.
I dared to hug someone like him.
I held myself from smiling.
The monkey would think I hugged him because I wanted to.
He wouldn't know I did that to save him.
He opened the door to his classroom and we went in.
He closed the door and he released my hand.
He looked at me and he smiled. "I asked you earlier today if you had feelings for me but what did you say?"
His face lit up with that mischievous smile. "You couldn't wait to express it to me, so, you hugged me, right?"
I said it!
Jacob is a confirmed monkey!
He tried to move come close to me but I raised my hand to stop him.
"Even if I did have feelings for you, what would you do?"
"I would bluntly turn you down!" He said as he smiled again.
This guy is seriously out of it.
"I didn't hug you because I have feelings for you."
Well, that's a big lie but as of now, that's how it should be.
"I hugged you because I had to. You'd never understand this."
I frowned before hurrying out.
I rushed to the rest room.
I really feel like vomitting.
Its not possible for me to hate him again, right?
He is the same Jacob I felt a spark with.
I did what I did back there because he is mine.
He is really mine whether he knows this or not.

I stood rooted to a spot as I placed my hand on my chest.
I didn't hug you because I have feelings for you, I hugged you because I had to. You would never understand this.
Why did she do that?
I really wanna understand.
An angry looking Scott walked in and he threw a punch at me.
I dodged.
"What have I done, Scott?"
"Nothing much. I just feeling like destroying that beauty you have for a face."
I grinned as I caught another punch.
"I know you are mad at me but I didn't hug her, she hugged me first."
"How did you know that's why I'm like this?"
"It seemed really obvious."
"But wait, how am I supposed to believe that?"
"Believe it or not, Scott, its the truth."
He grinned widely as his mood changed totally. "I got you Canavesi, it would be great if you both end up together but I'm totally against it. I love shattering her defences, I love pecking her cheeks, I love........"
"Calm down, man. We are not involved. We shouldn't have hugged but I feel really weird right now. My heart has been fluttering since." I said flatly and Scott grinned again.
"You are gonna fall in love with her, Jake."
"I'm in love with her already."
"Who? Mallory?"
"Yes."
"You bastard!" He threw another punch at me and it got me this time. "Scott!" I drawled.
"Why didn't you tell any of us?"
"My Mallory is different from vicious Mal."
Though, there are sparks between my wonder woman and I, my heart has never fluttered with her once.
What does this mean?
Ray and Arthur walked in.
"What's going on between you and Mallory?" Arthur asked and I rolled my eyes.
"Its all over the school." Ray put in.
Whoa!

"And then, that's all. Even though I didn't know where you ran off to!" I said into the phone as I munched on my cookies.
She laughed.
"Will you support me if I'm involved with one of the JARS?"
"Arthur, right?"
"Mal...." She screamed. "How did you know?"
"It was really obvious, you know?"
She giggled. "I think I like him. He is fun and sweet to be with."
"Are you asking for my permission to date him?" I laughed. "I know you've agreed to be his girl, follow your heart."
"Get out, you are no fun!" She ended the call and I laughed out loud.
My phone beeped and I looked at it .
Mr Rude: can we meet tonight?
Me: no, thanks. I'm not feeling good.
I switched off my phone and I tossed the last of the cookies away.
I placed the covers over my head and I slept off.

I tried her number for the umpteenth time, I got the same response.
Me: I know I was a jerk this afternoon, but please, pick my call. I have so many things to tell you and I want us to meet again. The greatest of all is, I am sorry, Mallory.
I hit the send button and I threw the phone on the table beside the bed.
I dropped on the bed, thinking back to what happened in school, earlier today.
I didn't hug you because I have feelings for you. I hugged you because I had to.
What did she really mean?
I want to understand!
Would I be able to sleep at this rate?

Mallory's Pov
Help me!
I screamed at the top of my voice but no one heard me.
Help me!
I screamed again and then someone showed up.
"Thank goodness! You've come to save me?"
My happiness died down when I saw the person, those long nails with her were really distinctive.
"I am your doom, Mallory!"
And then, the nails pierced through my body, into my heart.
"Arrrrrrrgh!" I screamed as I sat upright, sweating profusely.
