12 Revenge is Sweet When the Bad Boy Helps

Hailey's P.O.V

I was standing by my locker, waiting for Avery and Layla to get me before we headed to lunch. We decided to have lunch out of the school for a change. He soon started making his way over to me. Joshua was quickly appearing in front of him with a couple of his friends. Great! This is all we need. I groaned, making my way over, making sure I had a chance to pull Avery away before he ended up fighting and getting suspended or expelled. As I got closer, I heard what was being said.

"Who the fuck do you think you are going after Hailey, Avery?" Joshua growled.

"Get out of my way, Joshua, before I give you another black eye to match that one." Avery hissed, standing his ground.

"She is mine. Stay the fuck away from her Avery. If anyone is popping that cherry, it will be me not you." Joshua hissed.

Does he think I would have sex with him after what he did to me? He really is a dumbass.

"She is not the fuck yours, Joshua. She can do better than you. What is or is not going on between Hailey and me is none of your business. One thing I do know is I am not letting you do to her what you did to Carly, not while I am around." Avery growled at him.

Carly? Who is Carly? I stopped, wanting to know who they were talking about.

"You need to get over that. That was two years ago. Carly knew what I was like, so don't even try to blame me for making her the way she is now." Joshua said, smirking.

I see Avery's fists clench at his side, getting ready to punch Joshua.

"No, I will not get the fuck over it. You destroyed her you sick son of a bitch, all for what a quick lay? You used and abused her; she has never been the same since you. She left because of you. I lost my best friend because of you. So no, I am not going to get fucking over it, you coward. You have been warned, stay away from Hailey. Remember what I did to you when you hurt Carly? I will make it ten times worse. You will get more than a broken nose and two broken ribs. I see you even look at her in a way I do not like, I will cause more damage than you can ever imagine. Now get the fuck out of my way before I do something I regret." He growled at him.

Joshua never listened. Instead, he inched closer to Avery, smirking at him. I could see Avery's arm starting to lift from his side, and before he could do anything else, I stepped in. I took hold of his arm, looking at him. My eyes were pleading with him. He looked at me, complete darkness filling his eyes again, a darkness that scared me a little.

"Avery don't, he is not worth it," I said softly.

Once I said that his eyes softened as he looked at me, nodding his head. I turned to Joshua, glaring at him.

"You will never get me...ever." I snapped.

Avery reached for my hand, linking his fingers through mine.

"Let's go kitten, as you said he isn't worth it." Avery smiled at me, going the opposite way from Joshua.

I looked over my shoulder to find Joshua standing there, glaring after us. I smirked, getting an idea, an idea that would piss him off. I stopped, making Avery do the same, smirking at him, making him look at me confused.

"Kiss me," I smirked.

"What?" He laughed.

"Kiss me. I want to piss Joshua off a little more. It seems the thought of you having me in any way pisses him off the most which I don't understand because he was never interested in me in the first place." I said.

"That is because before I came, he thought he could still get you. If he really wanted to, but now, he knows that it won't be that easy and it is getting to him." He smirked.

"Well, you gonna kiss me then?" I giggled.

He smirked, nodding his head, grabbing my hips, and pulling me flush against him. He crashed his lips down on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him back roughly. He walked us backward until my back hit a wall, him pressing me against it and pressing his body against mine. Our lips staying put. We did this for a few minutes before pulling apart, smirking at each other. I looked over, seeing Joshua glaring at us, and I could not help but smirk at him. He soon turned away, storming off. Avery and I looked at each other, laughing.

"I think that worked well." He chuckled. "Let's get out of here, get Layla, and grab lunch before it gets too late to go somewhere for lunch." He added.

"I think it did. Yes, think we better. Layla will be wondering where we are." I giggled.

The way everyone was looking at us as we walked by was hilarious. I ignored them, heading to meet Layla who was waiting by my locker, raising her brow at us.

"What was that?" She giggled.

"We just wanted to piss him off a little longer." Avery laughed.

"Good. He deserves it, think it worked by the look on his face." She giggled.

"You gonna pretend you are together?" Layla asked.

"No, that wouldn't work because he knows what I am like," Avery said.

"The fact that he knows he can't get to me as easy while Avery is around is enough for me. He can think what he wants." I said shrugging.

"Exactly!" He said, wrapping one arm around me, the other around Layla, making us both giggle.

A piece of me wanted to know more about Carly, but at the same time, I never wanted to ask because it was none of my business. If he wanted to tell me, he would, by the sound of things, Joshua did a number on her the son of a bitch. Maybe I am lucky he broke up with me when he did, and I never had sex with him because he would probably do to me what he did to Carly.

We decided to head to Subway for lunch because it was close to the school.

"What would you ladies like... my treat?" Avery smiled at us.

"Don't be silly. We will get our own." I laughed.

"Nonsense. I insist." He smiled.

We gave him our orders, grabbing a seat as Avery got our lunch for us.

"You wanna tell me what is really going on with you and Avery?" Layla asked.

"We are just friends," I said shrugging.

"Friends don't kiss that way." She giggled. "No way that was the first time you two kissed." She added.

"Honestly, we are just friends that have kissed a couple of times... well more like made out," I said blushing.

"Only made out. You haven't done anything else, have you?" Layla asked.

"What? No, of course not." I laughed.

"Okay. He does not seem as bad as everyone says. He is always quick to defend you, whys that?" She asked.

"He has a sweet side that I guess many people don't get to see. I honestly don't know why." I replied because I never knew why he is always doing that.

Before anything else was said, Avery came back with our lunch, passing it to us.

"Thank you." We said smiling.

He took the seat next to me, and I felt myself blush because I knew we were just talking about him.

"Talking about me again?" He smirked, looking at me.

"Nope," I said, trying to sound convincing.

"Then why you blushing kitten? Like always when you are thinking about me." He winked at me, making me look at the ground, blushing even more, him chuckling.

Layla sat there not sure what to do or say. She was feeling a little awkward by the looks of things. I was feeling bad for her.

"Shut up Avery," I said, punching his arm playfully.

"Aw, I am sorry, baby girl." He said, throwing his arm around my shoulder, pulling me into him.

I looked up at him, smiling, which he returned. He leaned down, kissing my forehead. My blushing starting again... please not again. I need to learn how to control my blushing, especially around him.

"Right plans for tonight ladies. I will pick you both up at Hailey's at seven. We will see a movie then go for pizza. Sound good?" He said.

"Yeah, sounds good." We both said in sync.

We ate our lunch, chatting with each other. Layla seemed to have warmed up to Avery a lot which I was glad of because I had a feeling he would be sticking around. I smiled as I watched both of them laugh. I was looking forward to tonight but not sure how Layla will feel when she finds out Avery is trying to set her up, well I assume that is his plan after what he said earlier.
