ataraxia, lorenzo berkshire

"fourteen"

"lorenzo, was that really appropriate?" i pulled him to the side seperate from the others and xander, who were engaged in conversation.

he tilted his head to the side, indicating for me to carry on - as if he didn't understand.

"what?"

i grit my teeth, my jaw clenching hard enough i genuinely believed it could've snapped from the colossal amount of force i'd enforced on it.

"telling xander that you had sex with his sister!" i spat, whisper-shouting, pinching the bridge of my nose - trying not to scream at him like a ticked-off mother in a supermarket with her obnoxious, needy child.

"it's the truth! i don't know him any other way!" he whispered to me, indicating towards xander with his hand, who was nodding and laughing along with the others.

"slag." i muttered.

"care to repeat that, valentina?" he smirked, pushing my buttons like he always would in these situations.

"look at you. you're a state." i changed the subject swiftly, yanking his already loose tie and pulling the knot further down his neck until it looked merely like a strip of emerald and silver fabric strung around his neck with a horrendous knot in it.

"sorry, saskia likes it roug-," but before he could continue, i began to walk away - very much repulsed, and desperate for our highly unsuccessful conversation to conclude.

"you're done. you're done." i threw my hands up in surrender, finished completely with this immature excuse of a 16 year-old boy. i shook my head vividly as i walked away from him, back to the others.

he let out a chuckle, before burying his hands within the depths of his pockets and following me back to the group.

"hey, how's everyone doing?" i asked, trying to take my mind off of the ghastly, disgusting image lorenzo had branded onto my brain involving him and saskia. the thought of it, of them doing it, made me shudder as i vigorously shook my head to try and shake off the feeling.

"im doing great - your friends are funny, valentina." xander informed me as i reclaimed my seat next to him.

"i'm glad." i said sarcastically, looking away from xander and to the group of imbeciles, rolling my eyes at how clueless and oblivious xander was - "you'll get fed up with them in a while, i certainly do."

onyx flipped me off, and mattheo rolled his eyes at me.

i love my friends !

smiles nervously

"i'm happy all of you are getting along, but i'm afraid i have to show xander to his dorm." i smiled bitterly at my friends who all turned to me, looking unimpressed at my attempt to steal away their new plaything.

"actually," mattheo stood up, so did theo.

"we'll show him around, since you're not actually allowed in the boy's dormitory area, are you?"

i scoffed, before sitting back down onto my place on the bench, accepting that mattheo had already made a proposition meaning that he immediately took a liking to xander, and that doesn't happen often.

mattheo doesn't actually like many people.

the amount of pussy he gets is the same as the amount of people he just can't tolerate.

in conclusion, a lot.

"okay, i'll see you afterwards then." i simply replied, crossing my arms as i looked up at the cluster of boys, mattheo and theo looking equally smug that they've found a new member to indoctrinate with their filthy habits.
