I Fell In Love With My Best Friend

Chapter 9: Detention and Attention

I laughed so hard at Miguel's face expression. He was taken aback by Ven's surprise punch. I began to choke when he glared at me.

"What are you laughing at?" He said through gritted teeth.

I straightened up and said, "I was laughing because you looked absolutely ridiculous."

He took a few steps closer until our faces were only inches apart. My heart beat thumped so loud. It was so loud that I could already hear it in my ears.

"How about now? Do I still look ridiculous?" He gazed at me. My lips formed into a thin line. Then he turned his gaze at my lips and back at my eyes again.

"Even though I don't like you, you're so sexy and attractive." Is he trying to seduce me or what?

I leaned in closer until our noses touched. "You look handsome by the way."

He was about to kiss me when I suddenly leaned backward and bumped my forehead into his. He stumbled but his friends were able to catch him in no time.

"Woah woah. Easy there, Hawkins. Why you do that to Harris? He was just being nice." His friend with a messy hair said. It's not really that messy but his hair is pushed upwards.

"Because fuck him, that's why." I crossed my arms.

"Enzo, please. Not now." Another friend of Harris said. This time, it's the one who is good at composing songs. Ken Richardson.

"Hawkins and Harris. Their last names both start with 'H'." I heard Isabel whisper to herself.

"Just shut the fuck up, assholes." I hissed at the guys and kicked Miguel to the part where it hurts.

"HOLY SH--" Miguel groaned.

"THIS. IS. WAR!!!" Enzo took out his kunai and stabbed Ven on her left thigh. Screams filled the entire campus as the students run for their lives after they saw what happened.

"You're not getting away with this." Ven slid and slashed Enzo's legs with her own knife.

Isabel elbowed Ken on the stomach and back. Mia was trying to stop the fight. Jen was having a staring contest with Louis Walker while Ree and I were holding each other's hands because Ree is scared of getting involved in the fight.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" David covered his mouth in shock. He was with Jake. Later on, we saw the rest of OR and TS attacking each other with their own knives.

I forgot to tell you that both groups were once famous on fighting tournaments. We kinda acted like gangsters back then but we decided to change for the better. And now, it seems like we're going back to our old ways. Our gangster-like attitudes before were one of Oculus Rift and Tritone Sonata's darkest secrets.

We saw Mia fell on the floor. "Mia!"

Jake run towards Mia and helped her to stand up. Mia just stared at Jake. She didn't even thank him for helping her.

"You're one of them, aren't you?" Mia pointed at the guys.

"No! Why would you think of that?" Jake replied.

"Why? Because you're a jerk." Mia laughed humorlessly.

"Mia, please it's not--"

"Hush!! I don't wanna hear your explanation." Mia told Jake and ran away from him.

"I have to run after Mia. Bye." I said to Ree and ran as fast as I could.

[Ree's POV]

Alexa left me standing alone. Not really because David is standing a few inches away from me. David looked at me weirdly. This time, the aura between us is dark. It's scary and creepy. I don't like this feeling.
