Like a sadist

"I hear Nick and Miles fought over you." I sigh as soon as I hear her voice.

"It's a lie." Im getting ready for the fifth class by my locker.

When I got to school this morning, I got a few stares from people.

The fact that Nicholas held my hand out was the cafeteria was astonishing.

Nobody has ever seen Nick with anybody apart from Peter and suddenly, he held a girl's hand. A girl!!!

Yeah, it was surprising to them.

I was the talk of school.

Lunch was worse.

As soon as I entered, it was like something notified all of them of my presence. They all suddenly became quiet and stared at me.

A second later, it was hushed tones and passed glances as I walked to get my food.

I hate being the centre of attention.

I hate it when everyone leaves what they're doing just to stare and talk about me.

It's really, really disturbing.

Now, I can't seem to get Lisa off my back.

"What I hear isn't." She says.

I sigh, close my locker and turn to her

"Look," I begin. "I don't know what you hear neither do I care-"

"They say you slept with both of them." She interuppts me.

What?

"Of course that's a lie." She scoffs. "I mean, how can they pick you over me?" She points to herself.

"She certainly bewitched them." Janet speaks up.

"Clearly." Lisa replies. "They also call you a slut."

What is wrong with people?!

"That," Lisa eyes me. "I can believe."

"Listen Lisa-"

"I'm not done yet." She interuppts me and takes a step forward. "I don know what you're are doing or what you've done with them," She pokes me with her finger. "But stay," poke "Away," poke "From," poke "Them." She poked me until I hit my back on the locker.

"Got it?" She smiles and I don't answer her.

Her smile turns into a glare.

"I said, got it?" She asks again.

"You know," I look at each girl until my eyes finally settle on Lisa. "I really don't care about all this. I really don't."

I could feel an headache on its way.

"I don't care about the boys you are talking about, I don't care about the rumors, and I don't care about your façade."

"What?"

"So if you please just leave me alone, I'd-"

She stomps on my foot.

Lisa literally stomped my foot with her heel.

Shit!

I immediately started hopping on one foot as I grabbed the other.

"Just because you're sleeping with both of them doesn't give you the right to speak to me as you please."

My fucking right foot!!!!

God I hate this girl!

"You are below me." She pokes me again.

Why does she keep repeating the same thing over and over again?

"Don't you have a better comeback than that?" I ask her as I managed to set my foot down.

"What did you say?" She asks me as I see her boiling.

I know I might get beaten up for this, but it's actually fun seeing her all riled up.

"You keep repeating the same thing over and over again. As if, you want me below you. As if, you can't stand the fact that maybe, just maybe, I'm above you." I pause. "Or maybe it just that you have an inferiority complex?"

"You brat!" She hits me. Hard.

I knew she was going to hit me. I mean, what should I have expected after talking to her like that? A handshake? A hug?

But talking to her like that made me satisfied.

I didn't get hit for saying nothing this time.

"You know, I wouldn't do that if I were you."

We all turn to the voice and I groan in frustration.

He walks towards us, hands in his pockets as usual. And an aura filled with over confidence.

When he reaches our side, he turns to me with a smile.

"Sweetheart." He winks at me and turns to Lisa with a glare.

You aren't supposed to say that!! It's just going to make things fudging worse!

Urghhhh!!

Lisa stares at him in disbelief.

"I don't mind seeing violence and I love to watch people get hurt, but when it's directed at my sweetheart here," he nods to me. "I take it to heart."

You love what?!

"W-what?" Lisa stutters.

"Now I have two options for you." He brings out his left hand and gestures with it.

"One, you apologize to her or two, I do the same you did to her."

Don't tell me-

"I hit you." He says with no emotion. "Trust me, I don't care if you are a girl or whatever. Equal rights remember?" He smirks at her.

"You wouldn't dare." Lisa crosses her arms together.

Miles chuckles, looks down, takes a step forward and gives her a sly smile.

"Wanna try me honey?" He ask, his voice, dangerously low.

Lisa immediately turns to me.

"I'm sorry." She says quickly.

"Now now." Miles takes a step back. "What kind of person would it make me if I let you give that boring ass apology?" He tilts his head and raises an eyebrow.

"But I-"

"Kneel." He interuppts her.

Oh god.

"What?" Lisa asks and her minions gasp.

"You heard me, and I seriously hate repeating myself." He says seriously. "Except if it's to my sweetheart here of course." He nods to me.

"I want you to kneel and beg her for forgiveness."

"You seriously don't-"

"Or you rather I hit you?" He asks.

Lisa glares at him, then she glares at me.

"I don't-" I begin but Miles interuppts me.

"Shhh. This is the fun part." He says and I look at him confused.

What the hell?

"I'm waiting." He tell Lisa.

She doesn't stop glaring and Miles doesn't stop smirking.

This was not the Miles I knew. This isn't the annoying, playful Miles.

This one's different.

His playful look right now looked scary. He looked dangerous. He looked like a psycho.

Like a sadist.

Who the hell takes joy in seeing other people suffer?

Who the hell thinks saying sorry without kneeling is boring?

I get he's trying to help me for getting hit but this,

This is going too far.

"Stop!" I shout. "Just stop it okay?" They both turn to me.

"Swee-"

"That's enough!" I interrupt him. "I get you are trying to help and I appreciate it, but this has gone too far."

"I thought this was what you wanted?"

What???

"When the hell did I say I wanted her to kneel and beg me?"

"You didn't have to put it in words for-"

"Why the hell would I say that?!" I interrupt him again and this time, he didn't reply me.

I turn to Lisa who looked petrified.

"I'm sorry." I apologize and I turn to Miles.

"I am not, a sadist." I say and I walk away.
