Lies

Chapter 26

Kagami

Its been two days since the confrontation between Mila and Lexi. In this short time three rumors had emerged. One, Lexi and Jake had been all over the school, another about how Logan ditched me at the party had been spread and lastly, that Mila and Felix are now a thing. Fortunately for Lexi, Mila's lie about Lexi having mono was swept under the rug.

Does no one have anything better to do?

As much as I'd like to help Lexi, I'm in my own dilemma at the moment. That being Logan. He's been absent for quite some time now, which worries me. I was angry during the party, but the last text I received was that night and it only said that he would explain everything later.

My eyes are scanning my phone still, waiting for a possible text from Logan. Waiting for him to tell me what the hell happened that night. For any indication of his well-being. Either way, I decided, I'll punch him first after he explains.

There's a big slam near my locker and my eyes shoot over to see our schools infamous couple locking lips once again. I swear, I've seen them once every day this week. Whether it's in the morning or afternoon, I'll be present for one of their make out sessions. Every time I see them kiss it causes my stomach to churn. But every time they kiss Felix looks at me, which causes me to shiver.

Why is he looking at me?

Felix then closes his eyes and parts from Mila. She whispers something and he smiles. They walk hand in hand out the doors. My mind feels clouded and I remember why I came to my locker. I had left my water bottle this time and during that realization I placed my phone back. This whole week I've been spacing out more than I should. Maybe it's due to the daily intake of Felix and Mila snogging.

My hand reaches my lips as I remember the night. The way he lifted my chin so softly, his eyes as they asked me for permission. How he pulled me into him with his hands and how my hands pulled him in by his tie. The feeling of his soft clothing underneath my palms.

Then I recall stopping. Stopping, because I remembered he's Felix. He's a flirt. He's vile. He's dastardly. And lastly, it wasn't real. That didn't sit well with me, so I pushed him off. All those things reminded me why I hated him. Why I wanted nothing to do with him.

I'll ruin you. And I'll do so smiling.

He's the fear that challenges me. He's the rage that blinds me. He's the current that could drown me. He's the defiance. Another reason to loathe him, because Felix is my ruin. And I am most certain he knows this. Otherwise, why make such a promise?

I leave the lockers and head for the courtyard. Fencing practice had started ten minutes ago, but unfortunately, I had to retrieve my hydration in order to continue. This whole week has been about Logan and Felix. Mostly Felix if I am to be honest. Even during fencing, I can't stop myself from allowing him to invade my mind.

What makes matters worse, is his cousin who looks almost identical to him fences with me. Speaking of the amiable character, I notice him seated on one of the benches and head over. For this practice, we decided to partner up.

Marinette told me that their "not date" went well. Which is hard to believe given the poor face Adrien is making. Now, do I want to console him, or should I just win the match like I do every time? Well, winning when he's off his game isn't a real win.

Damn it.

"Adrien? Are you just going to sit there?" He's seated with a hunched back staring at his phone. Is he waiting for someone to call?

"I don't want to mess things up." He says still gazing at his phone.

"What?" I'm not able to help him if he doesn't talk coherently.
