Never forget you

Chapter 34: Knight

Storming into French class I huff as I slam my body into the seat next to Skye. Her sky blue eyes focused on the board in front of us while the teacher sets up for today's assignment. I want to hold my tongue. I want to show her that she doesn't bother me but I can't. I'm a fool when it comes to her and it's like my body looses all normal functions when she's around. My plan to keep my jaw locked and her out of my mind goes to shit when I see her pull out her phone and start texting.

"Aw is someone boo-hooing to their boyfriend?"

Skye's eyes dart up to mine turning into slits as she throws daggers at me. "What in the fuck are you talking about you psycho?" Her whisper-hiss only makes me laugh dryly before shaking my head and getting out my notebook.

"Why am I even asking, you're just going to lie anyway."

Just as she's about to open her mouth Niko walks in rapping his knuckles on her desk before he takes his seat. "What's up?"

"Niko, please tell your dickwad of a best friend that I don't have a fucking boyfriend and even if I did it wouldn't be any of his goddamn business!"

Niko's eyes widen for a split second before he bursts out laughing causing close students to turn and stare our way. I give them all the evil eye causing them to turn around before I push my sleeve out of the way. Bastard just won't stay up and I'm about to rip this thermal off.

"Whoa, now. What in the fuck did I just walk into?"

"Nothing." I say firmly glaring daggers at Skye, making it known that I like to keep my fucking business quiet but the bitch inside of her seems to have come out because she turns her body, angling it toward me before giving me her deadliest look.

"Nothing? Then stop fucking accusing me of shit!"

Niko throws his head back and forth between the two of us, trying to gage what in the hell is going on. I open my mouth to scream at Skye but Niko throws his hand up between us.

"Easy now. Okay. Let's just all take a breath before we say something we don't mean." Niko throws a look toward me silently telling me to keep my mouth shut. To late for that I want to yell but the words never make it out of my mouth.

"No. No. Please, tell me everything I supposedly did wrong. I wanted to wait. Be mature. Fucking have this awful conversation somewhere else...I don't know...private?" she hisses out the last word making a show of eyeing everyone in the room who is secretly eavesdropping on the conversation even though we're trying -well at least Skye is trying- to keep our voices hushed.

"You want to fucki-"

"Yes. I think you two really need to have a conversation. Especially somewhere not here." Niko cuts me off and my cold stare turns to aim at him.

My eyes turn to slits but I reluctantly agree right before the teacher calls to settle down the class. We're focused on writing down what's on the board when Madame tells us that today we are going to be working with our partners having full conversations in French. My fists clench and I almost break my pencil but when Niko clears his throat telling me that the teacher has eyes on Skye and I, I decide that I either need to swallow down my anger or I need to get up and leave this fucking class.

I choose the latter but the second I rise Madame tells me to sit down. I growl seeing the stern look in her eyes and know for a fact that if I walk out of this classroom right now she'll either tackle me to the floor or be sure I get expelled. I sit my ass down on a heavy sigh and turn my desk toward my partner. Her blue eyes shining up at me with so much cattiness. My eyes narrow at her as a smirk forms on her face. She's fucking enjoying this and it's pissing me off.

"Wipe the smirk off." I tell her leaning back in my chair, crossing my arms.

"Not a chance, asshole." Skye mimics my stance and I groan. God she pisses me off but what pisses me off even more is that my dick is getting harder by the second every time she talks back to me.

The teacher walks by eyeing us and making sure we're doing what we're supposed to be doing. So I decide to start a conversation with Skye. Telling her exactly how I feel.

"Je te deteste." I smirk at her as I watch her eyes turn cold.

"Moi aussi," she responds before flicking her Caribbean blues over to someone in the room. I try my hardest not to look before her eyes find mine again. But I don't get a chance to say anything before Skye says. "Tu es le menteur."

My eyebrow hitches up. How am I a liar? I wonder before I ask the question in French. Skye scoffs at me before throwing her hand up at me, gesturing up and down my body. "Like right now. You're about to lie to me about being a fucking liar."

The teacher comes by scolding us and clapping her hands, raising her voice saying "Français!"

We both grunt and slam back into our seats getting farther away from each other. Letting out a breath I decide to keep going with this stupid assignment. "Que es Martin?"

Skye's eyes bulge out of her head and my arms tighten around my chest trying to hide my fists from forming. I fucking knew it! Her eyes turn to slits before I hear a low growl come from her lips. She leans forward, forearms resting on the desk as she seethes at me. "Comment connaissez-vous Martin?"

I mimic her pose before smirking knowing I caught her. "Repondre a la question."

She hisses giving me a look that could burn the flesh off my skin. "My dad's friend. He's fixing my car after some asshole decided to destroy it."

My eyes widen slowly as I process the information. Her dad's friend. Fixing her car. That's why he said it was good to hear from her. That he was excited to see her because he probably hasn't seen her since her dad.

A chill runs down my spine and I sit back slowly. It feels like ice water was just poured all over me smothering the scorching heat of my anger. I fucking left her because I thought she was sleeping with Martin and just playing me. Why in the hell didn't I just ask her? I close my eyes for a second. Clenching them so tight, hoping that this was all a nightmare but the second I open them up and see Skye seething I know that I made a horrible fucking mistake.
