Ruined

Chapter 3

"What have you done this time?"
my father's voice thundered in the office.
"But dad, it wasn't my fault" I started
"I don't want to hear it Jacob, one more complaint and the consequences won't be good for you" Dad continued. I zipped my mouth shut, knowing it'd be worthless to argue back.
"You're a good for nothing" he spat out the words with so much venom in his mouth, it made my breath halt.
"I'm sorry Dad, it won't happen again" I took a deep sigh. But before he could could reply a tense knock was heard.
"Hello?" the door opened revealing Jake and his parents.
"Please come in, Mr and Mrs Elton and have a seat" smiled George Kim, his usual demeanour taking a turn. "I'm sure you're aware, these two boys have always been a cause of trouble. I'd deeply suggest they resolve their issues" he continued.
Jake's mom gave him a pointed look. "I believe my son has no qualms. He is quite friendly and gets along with everyone. I think the problem is there" she spoke. Problem is there my ass. Fucking Jake and his goody shoes act.
"Yes Mrs Elton, I've tried to correct my son's behaviour" my father addressed her in an apologetic tone
I silently fumed in anger after hearing his words. Great. Just great. I turned to glare at Jacob, only to see him staring at me intently. I bared my teeth at him,
"What?" I mouthed as he looked away not acknowledging me.
"Uh sir, I think we're both to blame" Jake stuttered. Wait what? Was Jake defending me? What secret scheme was he playing at?
"Oh no, I know Jacob is always upto no good-" my dad quipped in. The chair screeched as I stood up, he wasn't letting in another word. "I'm out, see you later Dad" I exited the office, no longer caring.
"JACOB COME BACK RIGHT NOW" dad screamed but I was out of the door and on my way to the ground. I sat on one of the empty benches fuming, hoping no one finds me.
"Hey" I heard the last voice I wanted to hear. "Quite a dramatic exit, you had there" Jake said softly. "What the fuck do you want weasel" I muttered. "My parents want us to resolve our issue" he said, slowly lighting up a cigarette.
"Those things can fucking kill you" I replied as I stretched out my hand asking for one.
"And they won't kill you?" he humoured me and handed me the now lit cigarette.
"Maybe I'm hoping it would kill me" I mumbled.
"Me too" came his non-chalant reply. Fucking asshole, I rolled my eyes at him. "Maybe dad was right, I'm a good for nothing" I don't know why I was suddenly confiding in my biggest enemy, something about the atmosphere and his soft voice left a tingling feeling inside me.
"Hm well, there is one thing you're good at" he paused and gave me a once over "Looking pretty" he finished with his signature smirk. "Shut the fuck up" I retorted, not really mad.
"Whatever the pretty boy says." he smiles. He indeed has quite an ugly smile. "So...." he trails off.
"So what?" I reply back.
"Oh hey Jacob, are you okay? I was looking for you?" Nora's voice interrupts our moment. Dammnit not now nora, I think to myself.
"Oh look your juliet is here" Jake says sarcastically. "I should really give you guys some alone time. You know noRA anD jAcoB sitTing uNder a TrEe-"
"Cut it out Elton" I said, what was the issue with this guy? "Uhm Jacob?" Nora sits beside me, Jake on my other side. She holds my hand and slowly brings it to her lap, "I was really worried about you". I heard fake barfing noises and ofcourse it's Jake. "Yeah Nora, I'm alright, not really in the mood to talk" I shake my hand out of her hold. "Don't you have somewhere to be Nora?" Jake sneered. I shot him a glare. "Uh yeah, I'll talk to you later Jacob, hit me up" Nora left hurriedly, looking hurt and not wanting to start an argument.
"What has she ever done to you?" I sighed at Jake.
"Oh do you like her now? Nora omg, she is so perfect"
"Just shut the fuck up Jake" I replied tiredly and closed my eyes, leaning back.
I feel Jake's hand on mine, he holds it, bringing it closer to his chest. I keep my eyes shut, not really having the energy to stop him or even wanting to stop. "You've soft hands" he whispers. "So fucking pretty" I feel my cheeks heat up, this guy is really messing with me.
"Leave me alone Jake" my breath falters and I open my eyes.
"What if I don't want to?" he retorts back. "Just not right now Elton, please for once" I say.
He stared at me intently before getting up, " "Uh yeAh, I'll tALk tO yoU laTeR JacOb, hiT mE up"
he imitates Nora, his voice high pitched as he leaves. "Stupid idiot" I whisper to myself, a small smile playing on my face.
