I Swear I'm Not Crazy

10| Mr. Douche Bag Is Smart?!

I heard a loud slam on my desk, I slowly lifted my head up seeing Mr. Cook looking at me with a straight face.

"Can I... help you?" I dragged out my words.

I looked to the side of my desk, the test we took last week was on my desk it had a big 'D-' smacked dead in the middle of the paper.

And here I was thinking I actually did good. "Do better next time Nia." And like that he walked off back to the front of the room.

I heard snickers coming from all around the classroom, I rolled my eyes and felt a tap on my shoulder.

I looked to my right, Liam was holding up his test it read 'D'.

My eyes opened wide, "Oh my God!" I screeched. Everyone snapped there heads back facing us.

I quickly covered my mouth, "You have a D and I have a D- I just need a C and I would have beat your ass." I muttered under my hands.

He started to chuckle, "A 'D'?" He looks at me weirdly, he turns the paper around and flickers his eyes over it like a cray person. "Mr. Cook this is not my paper." He shouts holding the pathetic test in the air.

Mr. Cook got out of his chair and rushes towards us, "Oh yes, my apologies." He says with a smile on his face.

"Where is Jackson?" He blurts out. "He's not here today." Everyone says.

"Okay, this one is yours." He says as he give Liam the right test.

"Thank you."

"Boom!" He says showing me the 'A+'. "Now who's IQ is low." He says with a smirk.

"What the actually f**k!" I gaped, "looks like someone's my servant." He laughs and then he stops with an evil grin.

Liam

"This is going to be so much fun!" I say as I suck on my Grape lollipop.

"What are you even going to do?" Mason questions.

"Just f**k with her. You know, show her who's boss around here."

"Wow you're so petty." Mason chuckles.

I stop sucking on my lollipop and glare at him, "Okay let me say that again, he's a petty mean dude."

I roll my eyes and take a french fry off of Cole's tray and throw it at Mason, "After school you wanna hoop?" Mason asks.

"Why so you can get beat again?" I tease.

"Shut up!" He hissed, "I lost last time because I fell because of you!" He snapped. "You tripped me." He pouted.

Cole rolls his eyes, "Here we go again." He sighs.

"I didn't trip you. You tripped on air. Because you suck as-"

A loud slam on the cafeteria table cut me off. I looked up to see Nia looking down at me.

I bit down on my delicious filled sugary grape lollipop. "Hey." I mumble.

She glared at me. "Here!" She spat.

I looked in front of me there was a tray that consists of mash potatoes and dry ass steak.

"What the f**k is this?" I say while pointing at the disgusting food in front of me.

"Food, eat it or starve." She says and starts to walk away.

I spun around on my chair quickly grabbing her hand. Some of the girls in the cafeteria started to fume.

She lolled her head back, "Who said you can touch me?" She says.

"Me."

She turned around and I pulled her closer to me I looked up at her holding both of her hands. "I want mac and cheese." I say sweetly.

"I wonder if they know what type of position there in." Cole whispered to Mason.

I and Nia both look down I quickly let go of her hand and she quickly takes a step back.

She clears her throat, "You're going to eat what I give you." She snapped.

"Are you forgetting that I own you, do I need to take out my test result?" I say with a cheesy smile.

She turned to my friends, "Why in the hell are you friends with this d**k head, honestly there are other better guy friends better then him." She sighs.

She glares at me, "He so annoying and needy." She groans.

Cole gets up holding his tray, "We've learned to love past his pettiness." Cole says as he hits me on my back.

"He may be a d**k but, he's a good guy... kinda." He whispers.

"A good guy, boy where?"

Cole chuckled, "You're funny but, under all that crap he's a soft i***t, he's fun most of the time but, he gets everyone in a shitload of trouble."

"I can hear you talking about me, Cole. I'm literally one inch away from you." I stood up and started to pack my stuff up, "That's the point, dumb-ass." Cole chuckled.

"I'll catch y'all later I have to go to the library."

"Since when do you read?" Mason chuckled with a mouth full of my food.

"Since this hot girl does, she goes to the library everyday."

"Before you guys go. I need to talk to you guys after school, it's important."

Nia

After school

"MY NECK MY BACK EAT MY--"

My music suddenly turned off I looked to my right Greg was holding the speaker cord.

"HEYY!!" I groaned.

"Hey nothing." He spat, "That song is too loud and WAY too inappropriate."

"Whatever!!" I singed.

My phone started to ring. I rushed over to it, "Who is it?" He questioned.

My eyes went wide, "Its the women you left." I spat and pushed him out of the room, "Tell her I said hi." He says with a smile.

"Yeah... no."

I answered the phone, "HEY MOM!" I yelled. "Hey sweeti-"

"Mom I miss you so freaking much!" I exclaimed cutting her off, she started to giggle, "I miss you too, I miss someone being in this house with me." She sighed.

"Then let me come back!" I groaned.

"No can do, you already started school and there's nothing here for you."

She did have a point.

"True, Are you eating okay, sleeping okay? Oh is there anyone I have to beat up?" I say nonchalantly adding that last part in there.

"No I'm doing fine. Everything is perfectly f-" She was cut off by a hard cough.

"You okay?" I questioned. "Yes I'm fine it's just allergies." She chuckled.

"Enough about me what about you?"

"Well."

Liam

"Here's the deal Ace." I grabbed him by his shirt, "You either pay up now, or I break something' of yours. Not a piece of furniture or your f*****g car..." I snapped.

"Something you're permanently attached to. Get it?!" I say with a sadistic smirk.

I hate doing these things, but people like him are so stupid they get on my bad side. they wonder why they end up dead on the street. oh, wait, they can't because they're gonna be dead on the street.

"I ain't got the money man." Ace put his hands up in surrender. Roxy tilted her head to the side and shook her head, "That answer ain't the right one man, try again." She chuckled. "I feel very sorry for you." She sarcastically said.

"Which limb do you want me to break first?" I questioned, people say I'm not considerate enough but, I really am.

"How about neither?" He said with an innocent smile on his face.

I let go of him and pushed him into the wall, he trembled in fear. What a baby, take your death like a man.

"I don't wanna die!!" He whined.

Are you f*****g kidding me?

Roxy tapped her heels on the ground impatiently, "Just smoke his ass, and get it over with already." She groaned, "I can't believe I'm here with you right now."

I pulled out my gun from my back pocket and clocked it back, "Tell the devil I said hi." I said with a smirk.

And that I'll be joining him, pretty soon.

I pulled the trigger the shot echoed like fireworks on the fourth of July, I stared at his lifeless body. "Tell the guys to clean this mess up." I ordered as I stepped over his body.

Nia

I was enjoying my Thursday night on my bed watching Netflix eating a jar of Vanilla frosting until my phone started to ring.

I rolled over on my bed and snatched it off my night table.

I laid on my back with my head laying off the bed, unknown number?

I answered it, "Hello!?!" I say in a deep voice.

"Is this the wrong number?" I heard a familiar voice say.

"Liam?" I say in my regular voice, "I mean Liam, the name I've never seen before in my life." I babble in a deeper voice.

"Quit the act Nia." He sighed. "What act this is... Nia- Niandro."

He sucked his teeth, "Come over and bring pizza." He blurted out.

I sigh, "Can't you just call the pizza place yourself?" I question, cutting off my act.

"Wait how did you even get my numb--"

"Make it snappy I'm hungry I'll text you my address." He says cutting me off.

The call cut off this b***h ass hung up!

I stood up and rushed to my closet and put on some Nike slides. I grabbed my coat off of the hanger.

"Mom- Dad- Greg! f**k!" I paused mentally slapping myself, I need to go to sleep. "I'm going to step out for a bit I'll be back in a little bit!" I yelled as I ran my way down the long stairs.

"Don't come back!!" I heard Veronica yell, I rolled my eyes.

"I'll come back just for you!" I chuckle and shut the door.

XX X XX X

I ringed on the doorbell a couple of times.

Where the hell is this dude!

The large door finally opens revealing Liam, his hair was all messed up he looked like he just woke up.

"I'm HERE!!!" I exclaimed holding the pizza box.

"About damn time." He yawned and snatched the box out of my hand.

"Was you trying to kill me with starvation?"

"Yeah, man... it didn't work."

He moved to the side, "You comin' in?" He questioned.

I raised an eyebrow, "I don't know are you gonna push me in the pool again?" I questioned.

"Maybe I haven't made up my mind yet." He says with a smirk.

Shaking my head I made my way inside his huge ass house I think it's even bigger than Greg's.

Without saying a word he started to make his way towards the kitchen I slid off my shoes quickly following him.

He sat at the end of the table eating a slice of New York cheese pizza.

I licked my lips, they say New York pizza is the bomb dot com.

He looked up at me, he slid the box my way a small smile appeared on my face I quickly dove in the box and took a slice out.

"Thanks!" I cheerfully say as I stuff my face.

We ate in silence until I broke it.

"Your house- no that's not even the word to describe this."

Liam threw the crust inside the empty pizza box and leaned back on his chair with his arms crossed.

"You act like you've never seen a big house before, you are the daughter of a millionaire." He says.

I chuckled, "I just moved here, I've been living in a small house with my mom in North Carolina." I explain, "You're lucky."

He started to stare at me, I just ignored him and started to eat the rest of my cheese pizza,  "Where your parents at?" I question once I was done eating.

When I asked that his whole body tensed up making me raise an eyebrow, "Do you have any siblings?"

"What are you a cop, stop asking so many questions."

"No. Just want to get to know you more." I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Oh right, because we're like 'friends' now."

Crossing my legs, I started to laugh, "More like I lost a bet and now I'm your pet or some s**t like that."

He gets up grabbing the pizza box, "US friends? Never gonna happen." He says with a smile.

"Never wanted that I'd rather die." I sneer.

He turned around facing me, my eyes went wide. "Liam!" I blurt out in horror.

"What?" He scoffs.

He was bleeding through his shirt.

I cough clearing my throat, "Not that I care or anything but, what's up with your body?" I questioned placing my hands on my hips.

"I work out? I know I look sexy." He gloats flexing his muscles.

"Don't flatter yourself now, you know what I'm talking about," I say unfazed.

"I fell." He says taking a sip of his Pepsi.

I crossed my arms putting all my weight on my right leg, "Is that all you got?" I say with a raised eyebrow.

"Yep, did it work?" He says copying my position.

"Nope, sit down."

He plopped on the kitchen counter and took off his shirt.

I started to choke on air at his sudden action, damn.

"Where are your supplies?"

"They should be over there inside the cabinet."

XX X XX X

"Ow! are you trying to give me another scar?"

"Stop moving, you didn't clean these right, I bet you just wiped it."

"No..." he trailed off.

"I find that 'No.' hard to believe, you know you're not a good liar."

"And you are?"

I ignore his question and continued to clean him up, you know that feeling when you missed the last step on the stairs? Nervous excited hyper aware almost like everything stops for a second. Then it all comes crashing back and the pulse racing and the flushed feeling.

That's how I feel right now, me touching Liam's bare skin, makes me feel... funny.

The whiff of his cologne, makes me go to a whole new world only I know. I can smell this forever.

"I bet you just wanted to touch my rockin' bod, I wouldn't blame ya." He says with a smirk and a wink.

I purposely poured peroxide on his cut making him wince in pain.

"Ow!" He groans.

"All done." I exclaimed. "I think I'm going to go now." I say, washing my hands.

He hands me a paper towel, I dry my hands as I watch him throw his shirt in the trash, "You could've just washed it with a bar of soap and cold water."

"I do it all the time with my underwear." I mutter.

"What?" He says in confusion. "Nothing," I say with an innocent smile.

"Bye loser." I say and throw my balled up paper towel at him he surprisingly catches it and throws it in the trash.

He followed me to the front door watching me slide on my slides.

"Nia."

Liam

As she was walking towards the door her bracelet dropped, I picked it up.

"Nia."

She turned around, her hair swung around giving off a sent of mango.

"Yes."

I stared at her for I don't know how long, "Hey! Are you okay?" She questions snapping her finger in my face.

I get out of my trance, "You dropped this." I say giving her bracelet  back to her.

"Oh s**t, thanks. Can you put it back on these things are hard to put on you know, with one hand." She says sweetly.

I look at her, "Fine."

I grab a hold of her wrist and place the bracelet on her.

Her skin is soft.

I try to connect the medal part to the other metal part but I fail miserably, she start to laugh, "They make them so small." She sighs.

I finally get it attached and let go of her arm, "Thank, Liam." She sings.

I rolled my eyes, "Bye ugly."
