There were now 4 days until spring break if you included today. That meant that we were nearing the final stretch of the year and now we were on to the hardest part of the year, finals. But that was my worry for after spring break. I was really looking forward to spring break because of the chance to take a trip. It had been so long since I even thought about traveling and the last time I did travel well it was against my will when I was too young to know anything, but those memories at least for now were behind me.

I found myself taking a little longer at my locker, which I was actually able to do for once without worry of what could happen. Eve was starting to back off and I felt fairly comfortable that I wouldn't have to deal with anyone else. I didn't hurry to the library for my free period like i might have done earlier in the year. Actually I was on my phone looking at my upcoming schedule when i heard someone else get to their locker not far from mine

"That whole disappearing act yesterday, what was that about you think?" It was TJ's voice, so the other two probably weren't far off.

"Who knows, I'm not really concerned about that. Rhena is known to hide, remember? I'm more curious about Hyoga. He's been with her almost non-stop the past few weeks and Noah's not gonna like that if he knew." Wooin spoke almost as if he felt sorry for the two of us. I was more keen on listening for the third voice but it wasn't there instead my locker door was shut and I paused knowing who was looming behind me

"Can I help you?" I sighed not wanting to turn around. God Noah is so annoying, he's been like this since I came to the school. He never really liked Eve or Mirae but they were the only popular girls in the school at the time or well there were others but they made themselves known. I however was always seen as the shy one that was never wanted. I was a bit reclusive and kept to myself. I didn't want to bother with others. I was cold and less than respectful to those that came after me and demanded respect. Noah however seemed to find it attractive. What made it worse is that I was someone he could never have. I saw through him the first time I ever met him. He's always been power hungry and he thought that if he could have someone as quick witted as me then he could change the way the game was played, but I said no. I didn't have time then and I don't have time now

"Come on don't be like that. You know that attitude of yours really doesn't suit you" Noah spoke, his tone cool and at ease as he reached to touch my shoulder but I swatted his hand away

"I'm not interested Noah" I turn, fixing my glare on him "I wasn't then and I'm still not now. If I were even thinking about a relationship right now you wouldn't even have the first spot" I roll my eyes. I know my 5'5 self is not at all intimidating, but I never relied on that

"And I don't give up easily love you know this" The grin that crossed his face made me sick

"Is this a game to you to?" I scoff and turn my back to him opening my locker again "God what is with everyone thinking I'm just some pawn? A little plaything for everyone's amusement!" I shout getting a little annoyed as I open my locker. My yells caught the attention of a few students passing by. Josh and Kiro were in that group. I find myself laughing "Oh I know why, because everyone thinks I'm weak. Because I'm quiet I must be easy. Do you not realize that the more you prod, the more stress anyone adds that one day I'm going to snap?" I ask my glare fixed back on him after grabbing my bag out of my locker "So answer me this, are you still going to try? Or are you going to let yourself get walked over when I do take over?"

"Its cute you know, this rebellious and reckless attitude. It just makes me think, how much cuter you'd be if you were with me. And back in your little quiet shell" He smirked his grin like that of a serpent

"Funny, guess like everyone else you'll see soon that your picking on the wrong one" I shut my locker and turn to walk away but he pulls my wrist back so I couldn't leave
