I thought I could handle it but I was wrong, I couldn't. Since Wednesday Olivia and I had hardly spoken to ourselves. Just stiff smiles in the hallway, Calculus and Chemistry talk in class and the regular goodnight texts.
Our not talking to each other in public had even made it worse. At first I was okay with us being a secret since I didn't even like that kind of attention, I came here for a reason and if Dimitri heard word about it, I was screwed. I knew he'd find out later on but not now.
After Callum nearly made me rearrange his face in the cafeteria two weeks ago, I started to rethink my decision. If that was how her friends were going to behave then just maybe I wouldn't be able to stand it.
She assured me that she'd keep them in check and they stayed in check. Though Callum had been given me nasty glares in the hallways and in the classes we had together, he hadn't made an attempt to touch me or say anything stupid and good for him I wouldn't have the urge to sucker punch him.
Now him asking Olivia to wear his jersey and she agreed to it was making me almost lose it. If this was a way of him marking a territory then it was too late for that because that territory had already been marked.
I knew how things here in North Wind worked and if Olivia wore that jersey tonight, word was going to travel fast and no one would be able to stop me from doing something drastic.
I was seated at home, watching a movie that I didn't even know the name. Alex walked right through the front door and when he saw me seated on the couch, remote in my hand he shook his head.
"You're not going to the game?" He sat beside me.
"No," I shook my head. "I don't want to kill some people."
"Is this about the Olivia thing?" I had told him what happened and he didn't sound too pleased either.
"Don't remind me," I sank lower into the chair.
"Why don't you just tell Olivia how you really feel? I mean if I were you that douchebag would have been in the hospital a long time ago," Alex sat back and I knew he meant every word.
Maybe I should have even killed him a while ago, it'd be easy.
