Jax x Reader ~Enemies to Lovers~

Chapter Two: I hate you.

My eyes fluttered open from my slumber that I desperately needed. I looked around, hoping that I would somehow wake up from this nightmare. But no. All I saw was my f/c themed room, the same room I fell asleep in. I sat up and stretched, trying to wake myself up from my groggy state.

I swung my legs over the bed and my feet touched the fuzzy f/c carpet. I stood up, my legs were shaking a bit but I could manage. My eyes glanced over at the drawer, where I kept my journal and pen. I was planning on writing my thoughts there every night, if I remember. I decided to leave my room, which felt kinda stuffy compared to the rest of the tent.

Once I left my room, Jax walked out of his room simultaneously as I did. His room was across from mine, so right away we locked eye contact and he grinned.

"Nice to see you up so early," Jax chuckled as he strolled over to me. "You know, I still blame you for our loss yesterday. Kinda sucks you had to be such a bad looker. And I got my hopes up, too."

I rolled my eyes. "Oh, f*beep* off for once. I'm heading over to the main area."

Jax's eyes sparkled for a split second before a sinister grin spread across his face. "Mind if I join you?"

"Umm...I do mind, actually," I snarled as I started walking away. But Jax didn't get the hint, or if he did he decided to ignore it, since he started following me.

"You know, you're the most feisty one here," Jax observed with a smirk. "And I like it."

I shook my head in disbelief. Yeah, right. "Oh come on, I can't be the only 'feisty' one here. What about Zooble? They seem pretty tough."

"Sure, but they're only good at telling me to 'get lost.' At least you fight back."

"It's not fighting, it's just...defending myself, I guess."

"Defending? Yeah, riiiight. Continue telling yourself that. Lemme just tell you, you're intriguing."

"Did anybody tell you that you're annoying?" I snapped back as I tried to quicken my pace, but because of Jax's long legs and strides, I failed miserably.

"Are you trying to get away from me?" He wondered with a sneer. "How cute."

"How many f*beep*ing times will you call me 'cute'?" I spat.

"Aww does it annoy you?" Jax mocked. "I'll make sure to call you cute more often then."

Thankfully we made it to the main stage area before I lost my mind. Everybody was there, talking among themselves. Once we walked over, their eyes went over to us. Ragatha waved me over so I walked over to her, leaving Jax thankfully.

"Hey, how was your first night here?" Ragatha wondered, beaming at me.

"It was okay. Um...is there really no way out of here...?" I asked warily. Ragatha's smile turned into an uneasy frown.

"Yeah, there really isn't. If there was, we would've done so by now, trust me."

Pomni walked over to us. "Hey...what are you guys talking about?"

"Ragatha's just telling me that there's no way out of this hell," I sulked. "I just want to go home."

Pomni's eyes twinkled in sympathy. "I do too...but it seems like we're actually stuck here."

"F*beep*," I cursed under my breath. "Seriously?"

"Yeah. Seriously," Ragatha sighed. Jax then took that as his queue to walk over to us.

"Oh come on, it's not too bad staying in here," Jax taunted. "Besides, I get to do whatever I want with nobody telling me otherwise." He crossed his arms, a smug smile spread on his face.
