Daggers of love

chapter 6

Lunch, not my favorite part of the day but good enough. After heading to my locker to drop off some things I went and got my lunch. Standing in line with my tray and plate I look around trying to find billy, I usually grab a little bit of whatever is on the menu then chuck whatever I don't eat. When I couldn't find him, I gave up, but just as I turned around, I heard billy yell at me, "y/n!" waving his non-Viktor broken arm like a maniac. I smiled and started walking towards him, but I noticed who he was sitting opposite of, Marcus, oh fuck me.

I decided not to pussy out and continued walking to the table they were sitting at. I sat next to billy, avoiding eye contact and pretty much ignoring Marcus.

"How does it feels knowing viktors boner was practically inside you?" I asked billy,

"Delightful, I never knew he found me so attractive" billy replied joyfully causing me to giggle slightly, adjusting my gaze I make a quick glance up at Marcus. "What Cha looking at Lopez?" I ask bluntly, moving my eyes back to the plate Infront of me as I pick at the food.

"Oh, ah nothing, you just look familiar" he responded with sheepishly, shit did I sound too harsh? "I tried to ask you before in class, but you walked away."

"I walk around the streets of San Francisco when I'm bored or can't sleep at night, you may have seen me there" I adjusted my posture so I was sitting straighter, looking directly into his eyes. We both just stared at each other until billy decided to open his stupid mouth.

"Remember how I was saying y/n was a living lie detector- "

"Aww, you were talking about me?" I interrupted kind of in shock, but I played it off as flattery.

"Yeah, while I was explaining the social hierarchy of the school, he pointed you out and asked who you were" what billy said shocked me even more. I knew that Marcus was probably asking who I was because he's seen me before, but a little bit of me wanted it to be for a different reason, I don't know what reason though.

"Well, that's sweet" I teased, siren eyes making their way across the table to Marcus's own orbs.

"He said you being able to tell when people are lying is bullshit" billy said casually, I looked at Marcus and raised an eyebrow.

"Wanna test that theory of yours, big boy?" a cocky smirked played on my lips.

"I mean if you really want to be exposed like that" Marcus said cockily, I took this as a challenge.

"Fine I'll ask you a starter questions, when's your birthday?"

"12th February" he said with a cocky smile, I studied him. His eyes, no twitching. His hands, no fiddling. His breathing, slightly labored.

"Well, that's a lie"

"June 6th" didn't know we where playing a guessing game, I noticed he seemed a bit hesitant to say June.

"June is a lie but 6th is the truth" I said casually, he was a little taken back by my reply. "I'm going to guess, February 6. Am I right?" I leaned forward, my eyes burning into his, he didn't say anything, just started into my eyes harshly.

"Won't answer me, huh? fine I'll ask something else. Did you kill those boys and burn down the boys home?" I didn't want to scare him off but I was genuinely curious, that and I also wanted to prove myself to him.

"yes" I got him. He's lying, I knew it. I was about to celebrate in victory, it clearly being shown on my face already as fear began to show on his. Then it hit me, he needs this story, it keeps him safe. if I let out that he lied than he could be killed himself. Marcus could clearly see this change of emotion on my face. I stared into his eyes, and he stared into mine. He felt that I knew the truth, he was practically begging me not to say it.
