Stuck between two bad boys

Immediately we got to school, I jumped down the car and rushed to my class before he could even say anything. Throughout the ride, I could not say anything. I kept hiding my face, blinking back the shameless tears that were threatening to fall.

“See you in detention,” Xavier said.

I didn’t wait to listen to what he said after that all I want is to just leave his presence for real.

With my head low and my bag pressed to my chest, I rushed to my locker to take the books I would need today. Immediately I opened my locker, I was greeted with lots of trash.

I can’t believe someone had the guts to fill my locker with main food remains to get back at me. Without ranking my head I know whose handwork it is.

“Nili and Eva would not rest until I kill them” I groaned in raw frustration.

Immediately, I slammed my locker close to notice what I didn’t see earlier. Someone had scraped my name and another short note at the front of it.

At first, I was going to look for them in one of their classes but if I do so, I might do something I will regret all through the rest of my days in high school. I might end up killing something and complete the rest of my high school behind bars.

After seeing the disadvantages of working with my anger, I change direction and head straight to the principal’s office. I didn’t bother to knock as I was dying to report who so ever that had done that to my locker.

“So young man” I heard the principal telling someone “That’s detention for you, the janitor’s closet needs an extra hand”

I moved closer to see Xavier standing in from of the principal. There was no emotion on his face except that he looked as if he wants the detention. His lips were curved in a sly smirk as he saw me and nodded once.

“Such a wonderful moment, Emilia Johnson,” Mr. Jared said “Your brother was about to come to apologize before helping you out with today’s work,” he said in pure enthusiasm.

I was speechless for a few seconds before I turned to look at My brother. There is this Calm look on his face as if he has plans for me, why won’t I think about his plans when he definitely loves pranks.

“What have you done?” I asked Xavier directly.

I didn’t bother asking what he wants to apologize for, I was just concerned about what he has done to get that pleaded look on his face.

“I filled your locker with food remains to get back at you,” he said bluntly.

For some seconds I stared at him not understanding what he was talking about. I didn’t do anything to get his punishment much more been in a Bigger mess of getting into detention with him. Well, I hope not, I hope he just gets stuck with Nili and her friend.

“I think you should be on your way to your class,” Mr. Jared told Xavier “After closing, don’t forget the janitor close” he added.

Relief spread throughout my entire body as I moved away and let my brother pass. It’s still so annoying how he would fill my locker with all those stuff for what I didn’t do.

“What do you want?” Mr. Jared asked Seconds after Xavier had left.

I blinked, at first, I forgot why I am even standing in his office until he narrowed his eyes to look at my face.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I wanted to tell on the person that put trash in my locker but whops!” I chuckled nervously “I think I will be on my way”

With a weird smile on my face, I turned like a robot and walked away. I didn’t want anyone to bother me so I walked straight to class, ignoring the normal but yet annoying stares from other students.

Good for me, there was no teacher in the class when I entered. I took the last empty seat which is at the from a roll. Since I started this high school, I never got to change seats, not even for a day. Sometimes I get to meet a new partner but the new one is worst than the last.

“Hey, sugar!” Nigel beamed at me.

I went frozen for a second or more. My jaw dropped as I blinked and blushed badly. Although I am supposed to be worried about him calling me sugar but no one had ever called me that in the whole of my life.

It’s like I am invisible but he had decided to prove them wrong.

I tucked a stray hair behind my ears and gave the brightest smile I could even have done.

“Hi, Nigel” I smiled harder.

My heart began to pound heavily like it would jump out of my rib cage as Nigel leaned closer. His smile was broad and I can vouch that I felt like melting in anticipation of a new beginning until he lean past me.

“I didn’t expect to see you, Eva,” he said sweetly.

I was too embarrassed to be annoyed, well, the fact that he didn’t notice I fell for it made me relief. I sighed deeply and forced myself self not to look back until I heard Nili’s pitch annoying voice.

“Did you see that?” She asked “She fell for it” Nili squeaks.

Something strong told me that I was the person they were referring to but since no one mentioned my name, staying mute would be better.

“You don’t believe it,” Nili said again “Come check it, I have it all in camera” she added.

Without being told I knew they might be trying to make me react but they won’t get that from me today. Especially now that I don’t want to be in a fight with them, seeing them might cause anything so I decided not to look.

As they kept on exaggerating how their new video would get so much share, I chose to listen to one of my K-pop songs before a teacher entered.

To me, it was fast, as in, the day went very fast and I found myself with my lunch in the school’s cafeteria looking for a safe spot to sit and eat.

“Not again!!” I grumbled as I noticed that my favorite spot had been taken.

I know you would be wondering by now why I need a safe spot. Since I started this school, I chose to be a loner and picked the last and abandoned table at the far end of the cafeteria when I know they were many other seats filled with nerds like me.

After standing in the same spot for two minutes, I looked around to check if I would be able to sight any free space and join the school group of nerds but it was occupied. The only free seat is the one next to my brother in the middle of the hall.

His table seems to be the biggest and it’s always crowdy, it’s surprising to see one chair still empty when people hand around every other day including now.

“No way in hell” I sighed as I turned back and began to walk to a secret hideout.

I call it a secret hideout because I found it three weeks ago when I was running from Gym class. I just don’t get why they would force us to do sports too.
