She didn't see it when it slithered under the table.

A sinister smirk plastered on my face and I thought.I'm going to use this against her.

Your Pov:

I sighed and took a last look at my neck which was now covered in tons of makeup. Then I put everything back in my handbag and rushed downstairs to the auditorium where Beth will be playing.

Being a girl in the world of chess and whooping every man's arse caught a lot of attention. I'm so proud of Beth. I pushed myself through the crowd that was around her and found Jolene sitting on one of the chairs.

"Took you long enough." she glared.

"I'm sorry, I got caught up somewhere, thanks for saving me a seat." I said.

Jolene suspiciously narrowed her eyes at me, she knew something was wrong. Ofcourse she knew, she's my best friend.

"What happened?" she asked while she looked at Beth who had a serious expression on her face.

"Benny happened." I sighed and folded my arms over my chest.

"What the fuck did that twat do now?" she asked.

"How about I tell you and Beth about it once we get back to our rooms?" I said.

"That would be great." she said.

Benny's Pov:

May 10th

Dear diary,

I'm sick of this. Out of all the bloody people on the planet, it had to be me. He had to do this to me. This isn't fair, I'm not the one who wished to get in trouble. But I saw him, I saw it in his eyes... he's up to no good. I hope, someday will be better. Someday, Watts will leave me alone for good.

June 15th

Dear diary,

I had an encounter with Benny at the bar today. He was mad at me because he had crossed paths with me. At the end of the day, my cheek was scratched and I had a busted lip. I got beaten up by my drunk bully and I couldn't stand up for myself, just like always.

October 23rd

Dear diary,

He has got insatiable habits. And I'm one of them. Sucking the life out of me is some sort of pleasure for him. I can't take it anymore, or maybe I should just end it myself, shouldn't I? It's not like anyone would notice.

A sudden pang of guilt washed over my body like a huge wave of wild water. I placed her little diary inside the inner pocket of my trenchcoat and went in the bar to get a drink, I don't want that stupid feeling to overcome me. She deserved every bit of it.

Your Pov:

"He did whAt?!" Beth asked with a shocked expression.

I rolled my eyes and just showed them his handprints on my neck.

***gAspS InhumAnLy

I rolled my eyes at her again. I wonder if they would get stuck on the back of my head someday.

"Next time I see him, I'm going to kick his arse and YOU aren't going to stop me." she said, poking her index finger on my chest.

"I won't." I raised my hands in defence.

"Count me in. Now, let's get some pizza!" Jolene chimed in.

A while later, we ate a few slices of pizza and then I got up. I opened the closet and took out my bag.

Hmm, I remember keeping it in here.

I kept rummaging through my bag messily.

"Have you seen my diary?" I asked Jolene while looking inside my bag.

"Don't you always carry it wherever you go?" she said.

"Yeah, I do." I dropped my bag and opened my suitcase just in case I had left it there.

But I had it in the morning I remember putting it in my bag...Oh wtf! Did I drop it? Nah, I remember picking everything up when I dropped my bag. Wait...hmm...BLOODY HELL!

"JOLENEEEEEE! I DROPPED MY FUCKING DIARY, COME HELP ME GET IT RIGHT NOW!" I yelled.

"Stop screaming, it's not a big deal." she said with an annoyed expression.

"Pretty please?" I made a puppy face.

"Uggghhhhhh, fine." she rolled her eyes and then we went where I had dropped my bag. We searched nearby, under the table and below the long curtains but didn't find it.

"I bet your clumsy ass has left it somewhere in the room." she said.

"Mkay, let's go back." I huffed.

Maybe I had left it somewhere in the room.

"Girls, I'll be playing against that Georgie kid tomorrow at ten in the morning." Beth said once we came back to our rooms.

Looks like I need to get a good sleep then. I thought.

*Time skip to next morning

Your Pov:

I woke up by eight in the morning. The sun's warm rays really helped in warming up my cold cheeks. I sipped on my tea while leaning on the balcony's railing which was attached to our room. The faint smell of unburnt petroleum went high up my nostrils and completely ruined my good mood.

I scrunched up my nose in disgust and went inside.

Do people really have to use their cars so much?

After taking a much needed warm shower, I put on a nice pair of jeans, a nice plain shirt and did my hair. Then I decided to put some natural makeup, got my bag and left with Jolene for the tournament.

I'm not in a mood to get punched in the face for being late. Yup, you need to be careful when you're best friends with Jolene and Beth.

We took the front seats and watched as the other players played, it was still time for Beth's turn. She was nowhere to be found. Maybe she's just practicing.

Out of the corner of my eye, a certain blonde sat beside me.

What does this git want now? I thought.

"Hello there y/l/n, what a lovely day we're having." he smirked.

I swear this guy only knows how to play chess, be cheeky and fucking smirk all the time.

"Back of sucker." Jolene said with a stern voice. But I was sitting in between them.

"It's okay let's just go sit somewhere else." I started to get up until I felt Benny grabbing my wrist in a rather painful grip. I winced.

"Trust me, you don't want to." he put his arm around my shoulder.

"Besides, don't ya think you're forgetting something?" he put his other hand in his jacket pocket, took out something very familiar to me and waved it in his hand.

My eyes widened in complete shock. I'm sure Jolene had the same expression.

My diary! He did not just read it!

I tried telling myself that he had the decency not to read it but deep down I knew that he had spent the night reading each and every word in it.

"Give it back!" I reached out for it but he pulled his arm away from my reach.

"Nuh-uh darlin', not so soon. You're not getting away this time." he gave his infamous smirk.
