Dilara

Chapter 4:

'Ok, so we'll meet at the mall straight after our last period.' Alara says.

I put my maths book into my locker and put my Spanish book into my bag.

'We're going to put pieces of paper into a hat and pick our costumes.' Diana says. 'If you're late you'll get a bad choice.'

'Fine by me, I don't want to go anyway.' I mutter.

'Don't look now but Adriano is staring this way.' Alara says smirking. I look over my locker door and see him walking towards us.

Diana quickly pulls down her tank top, exposing more of her cleavage. I roll my eyes. How desperate can you be?

'Leave.' Adriano snaps to Alara and Diana. They immediately do as he says. He slams my locker door shut and leans against the lockers with his arms crossed.

His white tank top exposes his full sleeve of tattoos on both arms. My eyes travel down to the sliver chain hanging off the belt of his black jeans.

'What?' I snap. I turn around and look at him, giving him my full attention.

'I need a favour.' He says calmly.

'Why is that my problem.' I laugh.

His grey eyes scan my body and linger on my low waisted black trousers that exposes my belly piercing and a tiny bit of the red dragon tattoo that travels from my thigh up to my waist. He licks his lips.

'I have a family event coming up and I need a....date.' He says stiffly.

I can't help myself and I start laughing making him glare at me even more.

'Why don't you ask Zoe?' I ask looking over his shoulder to see her staring at him. 'She has her eyes on you.'

'I want to go with someone who won't make me want to kill them.' He says as if that was normal. 'You're also very....interesting.'

'No.' I say. I try and walk past him.

'I'll buy you an amazing dress.' He says walking in front of me making me stop.

'I don't care about a fucking dress.' I snap. He clenches his jaw.

Suddenly, he pushes me against the lockers and pins my arms to my side. I look up into his grey eyes. I can feel the anger radiating off him.

'You're going to wear the dress I pick out for you and you're going to come with me.' He says, his face inching closer to mine. 'Be a brava ragazza for one night.'

Translation: Good Girl

I lick my lips, his voice gives me goosebumps. His eyes go down to my lips.

'Fine.' I say stiffly, pushing him off me.

'It's in a week so you have time.' He says.

I walk past him and make my way to my Spanish class.

**********
I feel someone tapping on my back. I turn around and see Simon smiling at me. I smile back and he looks down at his hand. He's holding a piece of paper.

I take the note.

'It's from Alara.' He says.

'Thank you.' I reply.

I look over at Mr Madrigal's desk and see that he's busy on his computer. Next to him is the box that's filled with our phones.

I open up the note.

What did Adriano want? SPILL. It says.

He invited me out next week - I reply. J leave out the bit where he forced me. I fold up the paper and pass it back Simon.

Not a while later I feel a tap on my back and Simon hands me back the note.

No way! You need to tell me everythinggggg. We can't tell Diana she'll get pissed. - it says.

Yeah I will don't worry! - I write. I pass it back to Simon and he passes on the message.

'For homework I want you all to learn how to say places in town.' Mr Madrigal says. The bell rings dismissing us.

I walk out of the classroom and Alara come next to me.

'I'm gonna go to my locker, I'll meet you guys at the mall ok.' I say. She nods and hugs me goodbye walking in the opposite direction.

I walk to my locker and open it up, putting my book in there and taking out my jacket.

'Look who it is.' A voice says from behind me. I don't even need to look to know it's Zoe.

'What do you want?' I snap not looking at her.

'The posh bitch thinks she doesn't have to look me in the eyes.' She laughs to her best friend Becky who has straight ginger hair and brown eyes.

I spam my locker shut and turn to look at her. Her blonde hair is out and she's wearing a sage green velvet fleece and matching trousers.

'Fuck you' I spit. I punch her and she stumbles backwards.

She pushes me and my back hits the lockers. People start crowding around us.

Becky takes out a pocket knife and flashes it at me. I punch her and twist her arm behind her back taking the knife off her.

Zoe grabs my ponytail and pulls my head back. I swing my arm upwards and lightly cut her face with the knife. I look over and see people filming.

I go to jump on her but I feel cold, metal rings on my waist. I look behind me and see Adriano holding me back.

'She's not worth it.' He mumbles into my ear.

'Let go of me.' I snarl.

'Aww look she has a body guard.' Becky laughs. I grab at Adriano's fingers, trying to pry them off me.

'Calm down Dilara.' He says. He takes the knife out of my hand.

'Adriano let go of me or I won't hesitate to beat your ass too.' I snap. His grip on my waist loosens.

'She can't even protect herself.' Zoe says rolling her eyes.

That's the last straw. I break away from Adriano's grip and grab a handful of Zoe's hair, her bright pink nails dig into my cheek.

I pull her hair and slam her face against the lockers, making her nose gush with blood. The crowd yells in excitement.

'You little bitch!' She yells. She cups her bleeding nose and Becky looks scared.

'How dare you!' Becky exclaims.

'Do you want it to be your turn?' I snap.

'Calm down pazza' Adriano grabs me again but puts me behind him.

Translation: Crazy
