He laughs and looks at me."Alright."

Peter looks behind me, I turn around and see Lucas glaring at us angrily.

"What do you want with my best friend? Didn't I tell you not to show your face in front of me? You came to apologize to him!"

I didn't speak, I just stared at him. His gaze took my breath away. I don't like his attitude, and he succeeded in making Lucas hate me.

"I didn't—"  I tried to speak, but my voice failed me as I heard Lucas yell and grab my wrist. I shake my hand, and he doesn't catch me.

"SHUT UP, DAMN IT! AREN'T YOU TIRED?"He tried to hit me with force, but Peter stops him, glaring back at him.

"What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?" Peter shouts.

And at that moment, I felt like I was losing my grip on reality.I look at Peter, my breaths quickening from fear.Lucas looks at me. He regrets what he almost did, but he thought about it.

"Why did you stop him? Let's see what he understands."

"Don't push it," Peter hisses.

"You want it so badly, huh, lizard?" Lucas says, breaking free from Peter's grip.

He pushes me against the wall again, grabbing my neck, looking at me intensely.He stares at me, but I can't look back. "LOOK AT ME, DAMN IT!"He shouts, his gaze piercing.

I lift my eyes to meet his."Admit that you did it!" I say, losing my patience.

"Fine, I did it," I say with great difficulty, my heart racing as if it would leap out of my chest.

No, I didn't do it, and I don't even know how it was sent from my profile. I just said it because I knew he wouldn't believe me. But honestly, I didn't do it.

Peter looks at me, surprised. I'm about to cry, he realizes that I took the blame even though I didn't do it. Lucas stares at me, and I know he was waiting for me to say I didn't do it.
When he hears my admission, he looks at me with disgust.  "WHORE," he says, turning to leave.

"When you were kissing that whore, you liked it, didn't you!"

"And I hate that I kissed her."

"If you hated it, you wouldn't feel anything!" I tell him, and he looks at me. He strides over quickly, presses his lips to mine, and kisses me hard.After a moment, he stops and looks at me.

"I felt nothing! YOU FEEL EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF!" He says, turning and leaving, leaving my body frozen in shock.A tear rolls down my cheek.

"It's impossible for him not to have felt anything," Peter says.

"It doesn't matter anymore," I tell him, walking away from him and heading outside.

The bell rings, and everyone goes out for recess. I call Mia on the phone.  She doesn't answer.  Where is she, damn it...
Once school is over, I leave and walk toward home.I open the door, step inside, and collapse on the couch.I will get revenge on whoever did this to me.

The doorbell rings, and I go to open it.  It's Mia.  I look at her."Where have you been?"

"At the hospital."I look at her, alarmed.

"What happened?!"

"My mother had surgery."

"Why?"

"She had her spleen removed."

"Oh my God! MIA, why didn't you tell me anything?"

"They kept it from me, they just told me today."

"Is she better? Did it go well?"

"Yes, everything is fine."

"Thank God, I'm glad," I say, and she looks at me.

"But you don't look well, what happened?"

"Lucas."

"What happened? Did he kiss you?"

"No... Yes... Ugh..."  I say, getting annoyed. "Did you receive anything from my profile?"

"What do you mean?"

"Someone hacked my profile, posted a photo of me and Lucas kissing, and wrote, 'The Beast and the Beauty together, developments.'"

"WHAT? Who the hell did that?!"

"I don't know, but I'm going to make them pay for messing with me."

"Is your profile still up?"

"I can't log in or delete what was supposedly sent by me to everyone, but not to you. Why?"

"I don't know, but we'll find out!"

"Wait, you said Lucas kissed you."

"That hurts more than anything."

"The kiss?"

"No, silly! The words he said before and after he kissed me."

*FLASHBACK*

"WHORE," he says, turning to leave.

"When you were kissing that whore, you liked it, didn't you!"

"And I hate that I kissed her."

"If you hated it, you wouldn't feel anything!" I tell him, and he looks at me. He strides over quickly, presses his lips to mine, and kisses me hard.After a moment, he stops and looks at me.

"I felt nothing! YOU FEEL EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF!" He says, turning and leaving, leaving my body frozen in shock.

*END FLASHBACK*

"Did he really say that to you?"

"He could have said worse, but he didn't."

"I want to see how you two end up. By the time you sort things out, you'll destroy the world around you."

"Most likely. Until he trusts me again."
