Chapter 6

  • **Kyla's POV**
  • I did as she commanded. I went to class, bowed my head, and focused solely on my books.
  • Bad luck seemed to be trailing behind me, the teacher had an incident and couldn't make it to class so everyone had express opportunity to gossip making me the centre of their discussion. They made a note to ensure I heard everything, openly talking about me like I was such a terrible person.
  • **Poor Riley.**
  • A girl began. I searched my bag for my earpiece. I groaned when it was nowhere in sight. I must have it at home. I got distracted this morning.
  • **I'm so glad she learned of her so-called friend's true colours. I can't believe Kyla would be capable of something like that.** The other girl added, barely ten feet away from me.
  • **Who would blame her? Stein and Richard are too good of a pair to pass out on. As I said, she feels like she's on top of the frigging world.** The first girl countered, I resisted the urge to turn back. I did not want to shed tears while facing them.
  • **Still, I reality pity Riley. Poor girl. I only hope Stein can see her and not fall for this Kyla girl. She doesn't deserve it. Such a wicked and heartless soul.**
  • I didn't know when a drop of tear slipped out on the pages of my books.
  • **People like her would definitely burn in hell.** She spat out, her tone laced with venom. Something twitched in me, and I snapped.
  • "Yeah, maybe. But I'm pretty sure you all would be right next to me."
  • I fired, grabbed my things and ran out of class.
  • I got to the restroom sprinkling water on my face. Riley was my best friend. The key word being "was." When she was around, I didn't care about anything else.
  • I thought our friendship could withstand this test. It baffled me why she wouldn't just trust me. I don't do boys, I don't do dates. I haven't even kissed a guy. No one at all. I have no interest in guys. If I wasn't careful, I might start thinking I would think of being bi. We joked about it once. Suddenly, Joana made up a stupid dare to tear us apart, and Riley fell directly for her trap.
  • It hurt like hell. It hurt.
  • I slumped to the ground, sobbing hard. My shoulders shook and agony raked through my body.
  • It hurt like fucking hell.
  • I regained my composure looking like a cast from the walking dead. I poured water on my face once more before walking out.
  • "Hi, I'm Richard Lockwood. A pleasure to meet you."
  • A male voice introduced the second I stepped out of the restroom. He stretched his hand out for me to take it with a charming smile on his face.
  • The only thing I feel when I look at him is anger. He was the cause of everything. An express opportunity came for him to decline yet he just had to open his big, fat mouth and accept.
  • I blamed no one else but him. The cause of my current misery. Just him. He caused me pain and dared to walk up to me with a smile, expecting what? I took his hand, shook it and gush over him like every other girl. Oh please.
  • I scowled at him.
  • "It's really a pleasure to meet you."
  • He added when I didn't respond. I scoffed and did the only logical thing to vent my anger. I raised my hands and smacked him as hard as I could right across the cheeks. It echoed loud enough for whoever was listening.
  • "Stay the fuck away from me Richard Lockwood or I swear I'll make your life a living hell. You can go fuck yourself to do the dare, I don't give a damn. I don't want it so leave me alone."
  • I stormed out and some girls were in the hallway snickering.
  • **So pathetic, Playing hard to get when everyone knows she wants it.**
  • A girl mocked as I ran past her. Everything I did only seems to make it worse. I don't know what else to do anymore.
  • "Hi,"
  • Another voice came up from behind as I stood in the garden. I raised my head to meet the face of yet another person walking up to me as a result of this crazy dare. I wondered what could be the reason. I'd find out in the minutes to come.
