An Arranged Marriage Will I Love Him?

Chp 7. Fist to the Face

"Ugh............." I moaned to myself as I debated on getting out of bed; I had slept all day which never happens.

Thinking about the dinner from a few days ago I think it went rather smoothly. Jet seemed like a nice guy and a dear friend to Mark Kennish; I can't really say the same for Jet's wife Katrina though. I never thought I'd meet someone just like Bianca and together the women are vicious gossipers. Other than the weird glimpses Warren gave me every few minutes, I had fun at dinner with Kelly. At the end of dinner Katrina invited the whole family to a formal dinner which is why I'm glad she didn't say anything about me being invited.

Lifting myself up into a sitting position I grunted at the thought of another day of boredom. For some reason everyone in this giant house was always busy. If they keep leaving me up here like this they'd be lucky if.... hmmm.... I don't know but I'll do something crazy if I keep being left alone with my boredom!

Hearing the door slam downstairs my body flung out of bed; Kelly must be home. I know Kelly's like three years younger than me, but we've been getting a long so well. Plus she's the only one closest to my age that pays attention to me. The little boys were fun, but sometimes to wild for me to handle. Besides whenever Bianca caught me playing with them she would scold me and tell me to be more mature and stop doing such shenanigans; Bianca bossing me around annoyed me. I am afraid one of these days I'm just gonna snap at Bianca and do or say something I will regret. Pushing my loathsome feelings for Bianca aside, I skipped down the hall way excited to see Kelly. As my feet touched the stairs my ears picked up on two people shouting at each other.

"Warren you freak!" Kelly yelled, "Your such a jerk!"

Warren laughed, "Oh come on its hilarious!"

"Splashing dirty road water onto my uniform just to make your friends laugh is not funny!" Kelly yelled.

"I think it is," Warren chuckled.

I know I probably shouldn't ease drop but I couldn't help myself. Easing myself down the stairs I continued to listen to the two argue.

"You're such a jerk! You think you are all that because you've got the girls at school drooling all over you, the guys wanting to be you, and the teachers praising you! But let me tell you something behind every fake beautiful thing is a mask of horror and let me tell you your mask is pretty ugly right now!" Kelly screamed angrily.

Warren's face turned red with anger, "Shut up Kelly!"

"I don't have to you jerk face!" Kelly yelled pushing him hard.

I took the last step coming to the bottom of the stairs. I knew I should stop them from fighting but I didn't know how. I barely can get myself to speak on a regular basis.

"It's no wonder you're an idiot!" Kelly pushed Warren again.

This time Warren pushed back and hard, Kelly went falling to the ground. Her head hit the edge of a nearby table as she fell. My instincts kicked in, running over to her I knelt beside her.

"Kelly?" I squeaked.

Kelly tried to sit up, but failed. She moaned; placing my hand under her head I could feel blood.

Slowly I sat her up, "Kelly don't close your eyes."

Kelly tried to nod her head in understanding. I looked up at Warren, how could he do this? How could he hurt her and stand there as though nothing happened? Then I heard Mark and Bianca enter the room.

"What happened!"? Bianca screamed as the two rushed too Kelly's side.

Moving away I stood up coming face to face with Warren. I glared at him.

"Don't look at me like that, she started it," Warren argued.

I tightened my gaze, "I don't care you shouldn't go around hurting your younger siblings."

"Hey I can do whatever I want, you blue haired freak," He yelled.

Okay that hurt, but when it comes to me I bottle up inside and don't say anything.

"My sister just can't take a joke, she's fifteen and still isn't popular, she's a nerd loser at her school, and frankly, isn't that great of a sister!" Warren yelled.

My bottle of emotions and irrationalism opens when others are hurt, and this guy future husband or not, he can't get away with talking about people like that. Especially people I care about. Usually I use words but this situation made me do something totally different. I balled up my fist and punched Warren right in the face. Warren went stumbling backwards landing right on his butt.

"You don't deserve a sister like Kelly! She is not a loser and is the only one here who actually noticed or cared about my existence for these past few weeks! So if you so much as lay a finger on her I will make sure that I kick your butt so far across the universe you'll be bruised forever!" I was about to turn then I went back leaned down and slapped him in the face, "That's for calling me a blue haired freak!" Then I kicked him in leg, "That's for ignoring me for these past two weeks you stupid rich boy!" I would have kept beating him up but Mark grabbed me pulling me away from him. All my anger towards my dad, Bianca, Warren, and everything else that had made me angry had boiled over into me violently attacking Warren. 

*****************

Looking down at my right hand I sighed, it was purple and blue from punching Warren, I guess I punched wrong and that's why it had been damaged so badly. The nurse had wrapped it up saying it would heal quickly, she also said Kelly was fine and would be coming out soon. I looked over at Warren, he had an ice pack to his left eye, and it was totally black and blue and ugly looking. I know I shouldn't have handled the situation like that, and I shouldn't be cheering myself inside, but man did it feel good. Of course when I kicked him all it did was leave a bruise no broken bones or nothing. Oh well secretly I was glad I didn't have that much power.

All a suddenly my phone went off in my pocket, I smiled as I heard the way to familiar ring tone; it was Dylan. Standing up I was about to leave when Warren grabbed my arm.

"Where are you going?" Warren asked roughly.

Man this dude brought the bad out of me, "None of your business." I pulled my arm away from him. Walking away I opened my phone, "Hi Dylan."

"Hey its my awesome ex-girlfriend!" Dylan sang.

"Is that supposed to sting me?" I asked a little annoyed.

"No I'm trying to be cool about this situation that's all," Dylan explained.

"Okay," I said.

"Hey what's going on?" Dylan asked concerned.

I sighed, "its a short story."

Dylan laughed, "Go ahead and tell me."

Ten minutes later Dylan was laughing, "Man I wish I could see his face. To see that little rich kids face hit by a girl."

I giggled, "Yeah it felt nice."

"What felt nice?" I heard an angry voice ask from behind me.

Turning around I found Felix standing there his face full of anger.

"Hey Dylan, I need to go," I quickly said through the phone.

"Wait what?" Dylan asked surprised.

"Oh and remember if I'm dead when this is over I want Lilies at my funeral," I quickly added.

"Cassandra what's going-"

I hung up on Dylan ready to face my angry father.
