"Please, come back to me."
"I never left."

To turn in my assignment, I stroll down the corridor to Ms. Ovando's cabin. Although there is still time to submit the assignment, I decide to do so. That way, over the break, I'll have more free time and may be able to see Stefan.
I notice a familiar face outside Ms. Ovando's cabin, speaking with a girl. Casing the girl between him and the wall is a rather better choice of words.
As I got closer, I recognize the face.
"Jack!" This is something I say with a sour glee. "Has it been a while?''
Both of them are taken aback and pull a step back from one another. He's trying to date a different girl, just as I predicted.
He swallows and runs his fingers through his hair.
"Listen, I'm not going to you entertain you—"
"Oh, Jack, come on." I give him a friendly but hard punch on the arm. "Do you still think I'm going to beat your ass up?"
In front of his new girl, his ears turn red with shame, and wrath surges in his eyes. However, he is aware of the outcomes of our previous encounters. As a result, he remains silent while I continue.
The girl, on the other hand, is staring at us in bewilderment. I can tell she has no idea who I am by the perplexed expression on her face.
"Don't be afraid if you are." My voice may seem sweet as honey, but everyone in the room can hear how mocking it is. "I've come to express my gratitude."
The last statement has a disturbingly genuine tone to it. It wasn't my aim to make it sound nice, but I couldn't help myself.
They both look at me in disbelief.
"For what do you thank me?" As he asks, Jack finally finds his voice.
I chuckle as I recall the day these boys dared Stefan to break into my house and call me a bitch. How am I supposed to forget about that?
"You don't deserve to know that."
I stomp my feet, acknowledging the color fade from Jack's face. I turn back towards them before I can leave them alone again.
"By the way," I add, staring at the girl, who is still perplexed by what has just happened. "Be prepared for heartbreak soon. If my calculations are correct, you could be the zillionth girl to be dumped by this jerk."
I leave them behind and continue walking. I overhear some of their mumblings and cursing, and the next thing I know, the jerk is getting a hard, ear-ringing slap on the face.
As I spin 180 degrees back to gaze at Jack's crimson, angry face, I let out a satisfied laugh that echoes down the corridor. He puts his hand on his cheek where the girl hits him.
"You'll regret this, you fucking bitch!"
Jack was a complete asshole, everyone is aware about that among the people who know him well. But for girls who doesn't, he seemed like a great guy with looks and charm.
I bite my tongue to keep from laughing, but a few giggles escape, enraging him even more.
I raise my middle finger at him.
"Suck on this."
