My Best Friend's Brother (Completed)

Chapter 3

"Maggie, I'm going to use the bathroom. I'll be right back."

I sat up from our table, ignoring what Maggie was about to say, and quickly walked out of the cafeteria. Not looking behind me to see if Maggie was following me or not. She usually did when I was going to the bathroom.

She always follows me to the bathroom mostly because she doesn't like being alone. Neither did I. We always went to the bathroom together, whether that just meant one of us was using the bathroom, and the other one was just waiting.

As I walked into the hallway, I saw Anthony standing near a classroom door. I walked up to him, and he smirked.

"Are we smirking, aren't we Anthony?" I asked him bluntly.

"I only smirk at you gorgeous, why wouldn't I?" He asked me. "Alright Anthony, what did you want to talk to me about? You made such a big deal about me coming with you, what do you need for me?" I asked him annoyedly.

I needed to get back to Maggie, so she wouldn't feel alone, and also she wouldn't question where I was at. It doesn't take me that long to use the bathroom. And I know she would wonder what was taking me so long. Or better yet if something was wrong.

"I didn't make a big deal about anything. I simply put my hand up for you to come with me. It was your choice to come. Easy as that. You wanted to come. Just admit it. You wanted to do what we did yesterday." Anthony said. Provoking me.

"b*******. I just wanted to know what you wanted. I was hoping you wanted to speak to me about what we talked about earlier. About you stopping this whole b******* war with your sister. But if this is just what we're going to talk about, or what we're going to do, then I'm just going to go back and hang out with your sister. I don't really want to waste my time with egotistical assholes like you." I said with a big smile on my face.

It feels good to stand up to him, to tell him to basically shut up and leave me alone. Yesterday was a mistake, and I instantly regretted it as soon as I did it. Not just because Maggie is my best friend, but because I don't want to get caught up in a huge player a****** like Anthony. He has a history with girls, and I know he does. And I don't want to be another conquest of his.

"Look, I'm not an egotistical a*******. I'm not who you think I am. Yeah, there have been rumors about me sleeping with tons of girls. That's not the truth. Girls just like to say that I slept with them because it looks good for them. Why not? Why not say I've done it, to sleep with the hottest girls in school? But the hottest girl in school is who I truly want. And that's you. I'm not f****** with you. I promise I'm not. I'm not doing this because I want to start a war with my sister. I'm doing this because I truly like you. I've always had a crush on you, and I'm saying this now. I know it's not the best time, and clearly you think I'm trying to f*** with you. But I'm not!" Anthony admitted.

"Look, I can't. I'm sorry. As I said earlier, whether I want to or not, I can't. Maggie is my best friend, and you have heard her a thousand times. And I won't be with somebody like you. I don't really care about your history. I care about what you've done to my best friend. I don't understand why you hurt her, I never will. You've destroyed her life. You constantly pull horrible pranks on her, and you constantly hurt her. You have destroyed her relationship with your parents. Making them hate her. And that is unforgivable. Yes, it may not have happened to me, But she's my best friend. I feel her pain." I told him.

Anthony looked at the ground, a shame. " You don't understand. You never will. You don't know what it's like to have a sibling. You don't understand what this war is about. And she's f****** stupid, cuz clearly she doesn't know what it's about either. I wish you would just stop for a second and think about me for a second. You think I gained s*** from doing this to her? I don't get any more attention from my parents after I do what I do to Maggie. She f****** deserves anyways. For the first few years of my life when I was with her all she did was take attention away from me. And I want to do the same. I want to hurt her the way she is hurting me. I pulled the pranks on her, so what? They're funny. Not all the time. But sometimes I just want to hurt her. You think my parents pay attention to me, you're wrong. They never do. I'm just better than her, and they know it. So they show a bit more attention to me than they do her. Other than that, leave me alone."

"Anthony, I'm sorry. But that is not an excuse for the past 5 years of what you have done. You have made her life a living hell. Yes, it may not have happened to me. But she's my best friend. And I will not continue to have this conversation with somebody that I hate."

"You hate me? What have I ever done to you?!" Anthony questioned me.

"You hurt my best friend." I said. I turned around and started to walk away, but I was instantly stopped by Anthony who grabbed my arm stopping me in my place.

I turned around to yell at him, but as soon as I turned around he slammed his lips onto mine. Pulling me close once again.

This time he pushed me up against a locker and grabbed one of my legs and wrapped it around his waist.

He once again slipped his tongue in my mouth, playing war with mine.

It only went on for a few seconds, before I pushed him away and rolled my eyes.

"Stop it, Anthony. I am not your property. I will not continue to do this with you. Cuz every single time it just gets worse. I am your sister's best friend. And I'm not going to be that stupid girl that falls in love with her best friend's brother. I am not that type of stereotypical girl. It's called Girl Code. And also it's called I'm not f****** stupid enough to sleep with you." I said before storming off once again. This time he didn't stop me.

I walked into the cafeteria and sat down next to Maggie.

"Where were you? That was a long bathroom trip. Are you okay?" She asked me. I expected these questions, and I quickly had an answer to them.

"I was in the bathroom. I'm really sorry I took so long. I was fixing my makeup." I told her.

She nodded and smiled.

"I figured you were with Anthony. That's why I got worried. He headed out at the same time as you." Maggie said.

I shook my head no. " I wasn't with him, but I did pass him in the hallway. He seemed to be just digging in his locker. Maybe looking for a smoke or some liquor. God knows that's what he does." I said, rolling my eyes.

Maggie chuckled. But then Maggie stop, and stared at me for a second

"Oh my God Marissa, you just gave me the best idea! I bet he does have liquor or cigarettes in his locker. I wonder how much trouble he could get in if he got caught." Maggie said with a big smile on her face.

"Maggie don't. You're just going to make things really worth it. He's going to know it's you." I told her.

Maggie turned to me and rolled her eyes at me. "Will you stop? I get you're worried about me. But this is my brother. This is my War. This is my fight. I would do what I want, I don't need you up my ass about this. I figured you would support me about this anyway." Maggie complained.

My eyes widened at her words. I was so surprised that she said that to me.

"Whatever Maggie, I'm just trying to look out for you. And if you weren't going to listen to me, then go fuck yourself." I said before standing up from our table, and walking away.

I was going to take her mean words to heart, but I guess after I told her to go f*** herself.

I walked out of the cafeteria, and into the hallway. Anthony was still standing there. He was once again in his locker.

"I know this is going to sound fucked up Anthony, but I need to tell you what's going to happen. Maggie's going to get ready to tell the principles that there's something inside your locker. You drink alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes. I'm warning you now. I warned her not to do it, but she told me off. I'm trying for you to not get in trouble. I don't want this war to get any worse than it already is. So please, get whatever you had out of your locker now. They're going to search for it soon. She won't stop till she wins." I told him.
