River.

As if i would actually listen to him.
I took a knife and was about  to cut it.
"Suit youreself.it has high peanut content. Just know that this time I won't carry you again."

Again?
He carried me the first time??

so he  actually has a heart.
Wow.But its probably the guilt that killed him.

He's  a jerk,but i  obviously don't want to die.So I should probably stop being stubborn this once.
I placed the knife on the kitchen counter and returned the cake back to the fridge.

I took a packet of milk instead .I poured it into a glass and started drinking it.

River was still standing there.I avoided looking at him though.

He walked over to the fridge and opened it. He then took the cake and took a bite.
"You actually believed me?"He asked me as he continued eating it.

He lied?
I felt like eating something sweet.
I could not let him win.
He was still holding the
piece of cake in his hands.

I walked a little closer to him and then held the kitchen counter with one of my hands.
I held my throat with the other hand and pretended like I was out of breath.
He just stared at me blankly and did not even move  a muscle.

This had to work.

I cried. I literally let a tear escape the corner of my right eye.

The tear sparked a reaction from him.
Haha.

He put the cake on top the counter and went to the fridge ,probably to get me water.
I immediately took the remaining cake and shoved it all in my mouth.

He turned back with bottled water in his hands and got the shock of his life.

My mouth was full and I couldn't even speak.
I grabbed the glass of milk that I had been drinking earlier and drank it.

River was still surprised,looking at me with his mouth slight open.

I eventually finished chewing it and drank the whole glass of milk.

I placed the empty glass on the counter and gave him a victorious smile.

"You actually believed me?"

I repeated his question from earlier.

" Oh my God.Red B ,that cake had peanut."
"You can't fool me ,you already said it was a lie."I said.

"I was just kidding.I wanted you to feel stupid."

Oh God,the nurse told me to never let it happen again and even 24 hours had not ended yet since the allergy attack.

What am I even supposed to do.
I'm definitely going to die.

"Relax,I'm just kidding ,you should have seen your face."

Damn it.

He won .

Again.

River -2 ,Kristen -1

Why is he always a step ahead??

"I hate you."I told him.

"The feeling is mutual."he replied with a smile.

As if I didn't know he hates me.

It's quite clear.

And I hate him too.

But to be honest,After I learned that he carried me when I had that allergy attack,let's just say the hate reduced  a little.

I still dislike him though.

"What are you doing at home anyway?"I asked him.
"Just relaxing.what about you?"He asked.

"I'm also relaxing.But it's because I was not feeling well. You are supposed to be in school."I told him.
"Red B,you are so funny. You literally just stole my cake a moment ago,and now you're claiming you are sick??sick people stay in bed."

"I said I was not and that cake was mine.you are the one who stole it first."

"I am the one who  ordered it and I am not a thief ,I am just smart."

"No you are not.I also tricked you."
"You did not.its only because you cried."
"And you helped me.aaaaawww You have a heart."
"I just thought that if something bad happened to you......"
He paused for a second.

If anything bad happened to me?what would happen??Would he be devastated?would he feel bad?

What!??
"....your parents would kill me."he finished.

Oh.
He only cares about his goddam self.

He said parents.He also thinks I have a mom.
"They would.Especially my dad.He would kill you instantly."

I heard the door open and knew Luke had arrived.

" I brought a whole tray.Just incase you wanted to do some more baking."Luke said immediately he came into the kitchen.

"Thank you.where are they?"I inquired.
"I left them in the car.I wouldn't carry them for more than a meter without breaking them."luke answered.

"I'll go get them."I went to the car and opened the back..I tool the tray and got back inside.

"You should talk to them ."I'd I wasn't wrong, that was Luke's voice.
"I cannot.Theybdont deserve it."River said.

I then emerged from behind the door.

River tensed up a little bit didn't say a word.
Even Luke stopped talking.

I placed the tray on the kitchen counter.
What were they talking about?

Who is they?and why don't they deserve to be talked to?

Is River gay?or does Luke mean like 'them' azin,two people?????

"I'll start preparing the pavlova. Would you mind exiting the kitchen?"I asked...kindly.

Luke left immediately. River just had to annoy me.
"Why should I leave?am I a distraction?"He asked while wiggling his eyebrows.

Oh boy!

"You wish.Just do whatever you want.for all I care."I told him.

"I will stay."he said.

"I really don't care."I replied.

Honestly,I didn't want him there.

Every time he was near me,its like he could not resist the urge to insult me.

And I had known him for like two days???

I saw him lean  against the counter  fro. The corner of my eyes and I could tell he was watching me.

He wasn't done making my life a living hell ,was he?
