"Is it done?" I look at Dimitri who is doing some weird hacking shit on his computer it's too much for my brain to process.

"Yes Alek, it's done those two won't be coming back to school. I made sure of it" I smiled to myself knowing those insecure girls were expelled from our school. No one fucks with Cynthia, the rage I felt when I saw Cynthia on the floor crying. I was glad Olivia prevented a smack to her face because I didn't know what I would have done at that moment. I don't hit women but in that situation, I wanted to make them pay for the hurt they caused my Cynthia.

"What about Olivia" Dimitri speaks up making me look away from my phone, she hasn't texted me back. "What about Liv? She's Cynthia's best friend." Dimitri hums to himself and starts typing on his computer.

I'm laying on his bed staring at my phone, wanting just a sign that she read the multiple messages I left. I don't care if she leaves me on read, I just want to know she at least saw it and is alive.

"Olivia's good, no signs of any mean messages about Cynthia." I hum in response already knowing Liv is and was the sweetest out of all that group. I felt bad for Olivia she's such a people pleaser that when they nitpicked her looks I wanted to say something hurtful but decided to stay out of it. I always thought that's how they got along but I was wrong.

*read.

I sit up and look intently at my phone watching little bubbles appear and disappear. No message was delivered. It's okay she's hurt, I'd be hurt if Nikolai didn't view me as a friend, and more like a benefit.

Cynthia: can you come over?

I don't think twice about it, I grab my stuff go downstairs, and head outside to my car. I stop on the way to the corner store and buy her what I think she'd like and some red roses. I heard flowers cheer people up.

I hope it's not too much, fuck she has me overthinking shit. Is this how it feels to like someone? I pull up to her driveway and then park. I see her peak from the curtains and then open the door, I smile but it drops when I see how sad she looks.

Cynthia shouldn't look like this, shes standing at her door her arms crossed as she looks in my direction. I open my car door and get out with the things I bought her. I'm walking up to her she's about to say something when I pull her into a hug. "I missed you." Those words slipped from my mouth and I felt her tense. I hate rejection but most of all I hate being embarrassed.

"Yeah? School was boring without me huh? I guess I missed you too." She rolls her eyes and looks at me shyly when she notices what I'm holding. I hand her the roses and she smiles. "No boy has ever given me flowers, you're the first. Thank you" She was smiling and turned around to walk inside.
