Hate Me Harder [BxB] ✔️ [NOT EDITED]

(13) Hate the new thoughts

It feels weird to update chapters when there's no one reading them, but like, who cares. I want this book up on Wattpad no matter how horrible it is.

If anyone reads these, Have fun!

One side of my mind kept telling me to walk. The other though, it was cursing loud.

What the fuck was I doing?

I'd searched the whole school, trying to be discreet about it. I asked Mason since he was literally my sister's boyfriend. He seemed confused and a little cautious but replied anyways. 

I don't know.

I'd searched the music room, just in case but it was empty.

The canteen took a long time and so did the library. What the heck was I thinking?

Finally, I stood in front of the steps, hoping I was right. Why? Only lord knows.

It was the same stairs I'd ever climbed once or twice ever in my life. One time when I'd been sucking Sarah's face. I decided that it was worth the shot and took the first step. The rest were easy. Left. Right. Left. Right.

I reached the door and slowly pushed it out. Only then did the thoughts come in. What if he was there? What would I say? Do I pretend that he's not there? What if he wasn't? I didn't even know if he was in school grounds.

Somewhere deep, I knew I wanted him to be there. Why? Probably because I wanted to punch him in the face. Yeah, that sounds about right.

When I got out, ignoring the blazing sun, my stomach dropped when I saw the empty concrete. He wasn't here.

I walked up to the edge of the building anyway, looking out at the back fields of the school. I sighed, shaking my head. It wasn't a bad thing that he wasn't where I stood. If he was, then I knew there was a large amount of chance that things would've not gone well for me. The guy was fucking Max Winters. He always had something up his sleeves.

"Looking for me?"

I cursed, loud. And I jumped. Which wasn't manly.

Turning around, I came face to face with the one I was searching for since the start of the day. Max fucking Winters.

"Careful there Baker, people are going to think that you're hiding something from them."

I scowled, turning away. Why did he always making me feel like a piece of shit? What good did he get out of it?

"Come on, tell me why you were searching the whole grounds for me."

"In your dreams Winters. How many times do I have to repeat myself? I have better things to do." Hypocrite. "And if I was looking for you, it'd probably be about the project."

"The project huh?"

I didn't turn back to see his reaction. Just, having him standing near me got me on the edge. Fucking Winters. I hated him so bad. "Let's just get this done and over with Winters, I don't want to hang out with you more than I'm needed. It's already messing up my calendar and I don't like it." Lies. What was wrong with me?

"Fine then, we'll meet up after school, at the same cafe, we'll go through the summary of the book. Good?"

I cleared my throat. "I have practice after school."

"I know, I wait for Mason, remember? It'll be better that way too. You can drive me to the place. I'll tell Mason."

The thought of Max Winters in my car set fire to the pit of my stomach. I squeezed my eyes shut and fisted both hands. "Why can't you have your own ride?"
