Chapter Four
"PRACTICE TOMORROW AT 4.00 PM! "
The coach said then he walked off . I didn't get why he shouted and it was just the two of us.
" Let's catch some fries! " Melissa said excitedly.
"that's unhealthy " I said as a matter of fact as I got out of the pool and headed to the changing rooms.
"Don't worry captain..you'll maintain your stamina.. It's just one plate." Cian added as she threw an imaginary object in my direction and I pretend to be hurt.
As we were leaving we passed by the boys and an idea surfaced in my mind ."Hey Liam ! How was the view..you know.. From behind?" I said which errupted laughter from the girls and some coughs from his friends to cover up the fact that they found it funny.
What ?! A little arrogance is good for my ego sometimes .. don't judge!
Sitting with the boys at lunch time wasn't how I planned my day would unfold especially after what happened at the pool. Ernest and Ambrose seemed pretty cool actually contrary to the bad attitude they portrayed around the school corridors. Liam was rather quiet but that was normal considering I just rained on his very shiny parade. Very unintentionally , but you knew that ..tell me you did, didn't you? Yaaay I knew you agreed with me .
Trevor however was showing no interest whatsoever in our company with them or the fact that his friends were actually enjoying us hanging with them.
Not that I cared but it made me curious.
Serial killer alert!
He's change in breathing Patten got me all the more nosy , not that I was stalking him or something but I'm sure people didn't go around getting voluntary silent panic attacks . Something was definitely up!
Minutes later he stood up and I noticed he was..ummh..
I wouldn't call it shaken, this guy seemed to have practiced for every horror movie as he was particularly calm at all times but it wouldn't take a PhD to notice he was up to no good.
Quite naturally I followed my hunch and excused myself making it seem like we had very different reasons for leaving the table.
Following him at a safe distance I made sure I didn't arouse any suspicion from him but Bancy walking towards him like they've been long lost cousins didn't fail to get my attention.
He pushed her away before she barely touched him at least I wouldn't have to worry about a cheating fake boyfriend. The fact that he was listening to whatever nonsense she was telling him disappointed me though but not too much cause it proved I was right ..he did have a secret!
As I was debating on how I would hear what they were saying they started heading somewhere.
Oh great! More following ! How exciting was that ! Maybe I could even invite them for a sleepover while I'm at it!
They led me to a secluded spot of the school just like the beginning of every horror movie and I braced myself. All those years of training had taught me that pain and fear were just an illusion .
My heart was in normal pulse allowing me to find a comfortable spot behind some junk metal where I could see and at least hear mumbles of their hushed voices so I concentrated.
" But she shouldn't even be talking to you!" Bancy whined.
"What I do in my private life and free time is none of your damn business!" Trevor answered her quite irritated.
RELATIONSHIP DRAMA! I BUSTED MY ASS TO FOLLOW THEM FOR RELATIONSHIP DRAMA! YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME !
" You do know your father wouldn't appreciate your so called relationship with the daughter of..."
The weak rods of metal underneath my feet gave up and collapsed making me fall and drawing their attention.
Oh goodie! Wasn't today a beautiful day to die?!
You know that feeling when your parents bust your ass when you sneak out of home and you start ramaging your thoughts for a reasonable explanation why you didn't ask for permission in the first place?
That's my exact situation right now. On the ground, putting on a poker face cause yeah I'm a bitch in that way.
I can see the fury on Trevor's face but underneath it is disappointment . Huh! As if I was supposed to care.
What was setting me off however and I was starting to believe it was the same reason Trevor was pissed off was the ' I told you so ' face Bancy was showcasing.
I about to find out something. I knew it !
" Are you out of your fucking mind?!" Trevor fired as he walked towards me .
" Oh honey, would you believe me if I said I got lonely at the table without the love of my life?"I said as I held out my hand to him .
He looked confused as his eyes bored into mine making me feel some weird sensation. Then he caught up to what I was doing as he pulled me up dusting me.
" I'm sorry I walked out like that . I know it was our time but I promise I'll make it up to you."
" But I was supposed to review your essay,or don't you want that perfect grade in English anymore?" I whined. I knew he was good in English and that would hurt his ego .
By the look he gave me it seemed to work but I sensed revenge in his eyes.
" Bancy could you give us a minute?!" He asked not removing his eyes from mine.
"I'm not going anywhere! I was talking to you and we're not done!" She said clearly annoyed by my presence.
" Suite yourself" he said and he swiftly grabbed my waist pulling me to him and with that he claimed my lips.
I didn't expect his revenge to be so blissful.
"So what happened?" Melissa asked excitedly
"What happened where?" I asked back having no idea why they were looking at me like I just won the lottery.
"Don't play stupid. Trevor and you left together for the rest of lunch period and when you two came back you were out of this world . Soo spill!"Malesi backed up her sister.
"Cian.."
"You're not getting out of this one. Or did he already propose and your still in shock?" Cian answered.
I rolled my eyes and they all giggled earning us a glare from Mrs Green .
Oh Goodie!
I managed to convince them that we weren't even in the same direction which took more than the energy I get from my very healthy meals and additional snacks.
As we left class we found Trevor and his boys across the hallway obviously drawing attention from every corner of the school.
He was looking straight at me but being who I am I ignored him,not that it made the feeling of his eyes on me disappear but it helped me concentrate on my steps.
"Hello girls" he said casually knowing the effect his voice had . Well not on Cian cause she had a boyfriend but you can imagine the twins . I'm going to spare you the details.
"Let's go." He said addressing me.
" I'm leaving with Nessa"
"She's already been picked up by your driver."
"What?!"
"Yes I told him I'd take you."
I raised my brow at him. I couldn't read his mind and it pissed me off.
" Excuse me girls. You wouldn't mind if I accompanied my girlfriend home would you?" He addressed them and my friends gave him permission much to my shock.
He tried holding my hand but I resisted.
"Why wouldn't you hold my hand? Or do I need to kiss you" he whispered to me which made my hand voluntarily slip into his.
Blackmailer!
