Deadlock

XV

I went out of the room after my last class of the day. I was relieved that I was so close to ending the stupid day. I went out of my classroom and I headed to my locker. But even before I got close to it; I saw a familiar face. The face that would capture anyone’s attention even though he was not doing anything. His arrogance was in the air and I could feel that stupid bastard’s aura. He was seven feet across from where I was. And bitches were all over him. They were flirting with him but he didn’t seem interested.

Rob Van Garrette was waiting for something. He was leaning in the wall with sluts around him and he was looking so… so… aloof. He suddenly lifted his face and he scanned the whole place. And then he looked at me. I didn’t know why but I thought I just blushed. He started walking towards me leaving his toys behind. I started to get nervous. What would he do now? My feet started moving away from the place. I took the opposite direction and I just ran away from him. But I could hear his footsteps behind me so I knew he was following me. I ran even faster. It must've looked weird that we were doing it. I was just scared of what he might do. 

I started to run much faster but a cold hand grabbed my arm. I looked at a serious face of Rob Van Garrette. He dragged me to a room but when I started to shout for help, he panicked and covered my mouth. The room was empty and I couldn’t make out of anything that was in there because I was too scared to be alone in the room with the dude. He pushed me against the wall and he took his hands off of my mouth. He was just centimeters away from me so instead of running, I just used all my courage to speak to him. “W-w-what do you want?”

“Give it back.” He demanded.

“What should I give back?” 

He got pissed. He pushed me hard against the wall and he came inches away from my face. What did he want from me?

“You know what you took.” He clenched his jaw. I was sure I didn’t take anything from him.

“I don’t…” I tried to reason out but then he started to hold my shoulders tight. It was hurting me.

“I went easy on you. I stopped bullying because a friend said so. But if you piss me off once more, you’re going to regret it for the rest of your life. And this time? Nobody could stop me.” He sure sounded threatening. If it weren’t for my mind that was still working, I would’ve already peed in front of him. 

“F-fine. I’m giving it back but it’s not here right now. It’s at my house, so let go of me and I’ll bring it tomorrow.” 

He started loosing his grip. “You better do what you say, you know what’ll happen if you won't.” He told me as he walked away.

I felt relieved. He didn’t do anything to me. But what exactly did he want from me? What exactly did I take from him? I just couldn’t remember what it was. I started to walk towards the door. But when I opened it, there were a lot of people outside the door and all seemed surprise at what just happened. Who would not be? Rob Van Garrette just brought me into an empty room. I wonder what these dirty minds are thinking right now.

I walked as fast as I could, away from those girls. I decided to just go home alone and not wait for Nikki and Jake.

The time I arrived at my house, I went straight to my room. Still thinking of what thing was so precious to Rob Van Garrette that I just took. It must be really important to him because he went to the main building himself. I just couldn’t think of anything that’d be important to someone like him. Argh, was it possible that he was just lying? He was just probably doing this to make another excuse of making my life a living nightmare. But why would he do that? He didn’t need any excuse if he really wanted to bully me.
