I walked down the school hallway making my way to my locker. I could feel people staring, making me slightly uncomfortable, they whispered to each other as I pass by. I wanted the world to swallow me up at this moment and just disappear.
I open my locker placing my books inside when all of the sudden someone slams my locker shut making me flinch. I turn around noticing Emily's little clique standing there laughing their dumb ass heads off and Emily standing right next to me
"What's your problem?" I asked her as she stood there smiling wickedly
Somehow her group managed to surround me, leaving me no choice than to endure this crazed confrontation
"My problem is your slutty ass" she said pushing me by my shoulder. I could feel the steam rising from my ears, like my head was going to explode.
"I don't have time for this" I mumbled and tried to get around Emily and her drones but they just block my path, clearly not done with me. Come on don't let this low life skank get under your skin, I said to myself as I tuned them out and just prayed that the gates of hell would open up and swallow into their fiery depths
As I was trying to manage my anger, Emily swung her fist hitting me right on the corner of my eye. She tried swinging again but I quickly dodge it swinging at her this time right on her mouth, she screamed and held her hand against her mouth muttering "this bitch", I smirked, feeling proud of myself. Who knew I was capable of doing that.
She came close to my face and threatened me saying " stay away from Devin you fucking slut, he is mine"
I rolled my eyes at her and said " don't worry he is all yours" I bumped shoulders with her harshly as I walk off
I have never felt so humiliated in my entire life, I feel at least 20 eyes staring at the unraveling scene. I mean it's quite interesting, the school most popular slut and the innocent quiet girl fighting.
I make my way to the bathroom with my head down when suddenly I bump into someone. I look up to see those bright blue crystal eyes that I knew oh so very well. He brings his hands up to my face and trails his finger on my skin noticing my swollen eye, I closed my eyes as a tear slid down my rosy cheeks.
"What happened doll?" He asked looking not very amused anymore.
"Me and your little girlfriend got into a fight" i said crossing my arms, i felt my body heat up, anger was building up in me as I thought about what just happened
He raised his eyebrows and his eyes filled with confusion
"Devin, she is the one who started it. I was minding my own business, but that tramp walked up to me threatening me saying to never speak to you again and calling me a slut"
He wiped the tear that remained on my cheeks and said "let's go to class"
We walked next to each other but this time without holding each other's hands. I looked down not wanting to see the look on everyone's faces as we walked by.
"Hey baby I missed yo-" I looked up to see Emily trying to hug and kiss Devin, he pushes her against the lockers roughly, she winced in pain making Devin smirk. I noticed that his jaw was locked tight, and his lips were clenched as tight as the fists at his side
"Listen here bitch, the only slut around here is you. Don't you ever talk to Rose like that again. And you better not lay a finger on her either. You know what I'm capable off, don't test me" he said whispering the last part in her ear but I managed to hear it since I was pretty close. She quickly nodded her head in fear and walked off sending me a harsh glare.
Devin walked up to me, still with anger in his eyes I immediately jumped onto my tippy toes hugging him "thank you for standing up for me", His face softened when I looked into his eyes "anything for you doll" he said as he placed his hand around my back guiding me to our classroom
I completely spaced out the whole time I was in class, I wasn't paying attention to anything my teacher was saying. All I could think about was yesterday with Devin and how he defended me today. I've been trying to analyze every detail trying to figure out why he would defend me over his own girlfriend. Apparently even he knows she is a total bitch.
After an hour of being in this classroom, Devin walked out without saying a word and never returned. I became worried and I couldn't help but wonder where he had gone.
****
I walked to the lunch room looking around trying to find Emma as well as trying to see if Devin was around.
"Best friend!!!!!" Emma said running to hug me
"I heard what happened with that bitch, are you alright?" She said still hugging me
"Yea I'm alright. But I have so much to tell you Emma. Devin kissed me, twice!" I whispered
She gasped, grabbing my wrist pulling me to a table. A slow half grin lit up her eyes as she leaned forwards, planting her elbows on the table and using her hands to cup her cheeks eager to listen.
"I'm so confused, I don't understand what he wants. He has a girlfriend but he kissed me and even wanted me to spend the night with him" I said sitting down
" listen, boys are boys and they are dumb. And most of them just want to get in your pants. Devin has a reputation, he is the school bad boy, the gang leader. The boy who has been with many, many girls. Boys like him can be deceitful sometimes. Just watch your back Rose. I don't want you getting hurt"
I nodded and looked down
"One problem thought, I think I'm starting to like him Emma" I said coming out as a whisper
