One step before me

-{Chapter 9: The challenge}-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alexander's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I Looked at him. I snorted. What a loser.
He has no friends, except for that Wren girl. He is like an invisible person, but visible at the same time. On top of that, he is playing all high and mighty.

I snorted once again.
"What are you looking at?" The stupid nerd asked with a frown.
"At sh**" I answered.
"Now that you mention it... I am actually also looking at sh**. What a coincidence huh." He said monotoned. Why do I have to be in the same group as this jerk? Just because he has the brain to get an A without even trying, it doesn't mean that he has the rights to own the place. Basterd.

Soon enough the bell rang. I rose up and got out of the classroom. I can't stand looking at his ugly face anymore.
"Do you think it's illegal to be at school at...that time?" Tiffany asked Vanessa.
"Of course not... if we don't get cut I think" she replied.

"OMG!" Tiffany exclaimed in excitement. "From I have heard the school's basement is hunted! they say that weird things happen down there after that time..." said Tiffany.
"What are you two ladies talking about?" I asked walking up to them.
"Alexander! perfect timing! a lot of folks in our class has planned on going in the basement after school at 3 pm... they say that a woman died down there. A lot of people have bet on who the first person will be running out crying from school and who the winner that last the longest in there will be" Tiffany explained.

"Sounds tiresome" I responded.
"A-Alexander... I was thinking... maybe you and I could go together...? I mean, it's only if you want to..." Vanessa said shyly.

"Naah I'm good" I answered waving my hand while I was about to take my leave. Now back to the important stuff. How will I make that nerd sorry? No. How will I break him? I want to break him so badly- into so small pieces that it would be impossible to fix. And then it hit me. I only need to take the one thing he has. That's it! I only need to take the thing he is so obsessed with!

A smirk formed on my lips.
"On second thought... " I said walking backward, back to the two girls.
"Can I take a friend with me?" I asked them.
"Yeah, of course!" said Tiffany. It was like my plan was already printed in my head.
"then why not?" I said with a smile plastered on my face.

"Awesome! See ya at three then!" Tiffany said. When I turned around and was about to leave again, I could hear them jumping around screaming not so loudly, but loud enough to hear, indicating how excited they were. Girls. Always get hyped by stupid things.

"Watch me take her out from your grasp" I whispered to myself when I saw the sight of him.  We made eye contact for a split second, Wren standing right beside him. He is always clanged to Wren. Of course. The poor guy has no other friends. They look close. I gave him a fake smile. As I passed him, a smirk formed on my lips. Disrespectful little sh**.

-----time skip-----

I took my plate of pasta and went to the table Wren was sitting on.
"Hey Wren," I said, placing my plate at the table before sitting down beside her.
"Oh hi, Alexander..." She said, glancing at another plate at the table. It probably belonged to that irrelevant person.
"You know, our class will be in the basement at 3 pm," I said, observing her reaction.
"What the... what for?"

"They have planned to make a challenging thing or whatever. Some of them have bet on who the long-lasting kid will be and of course the crybaby too. So I was thinking, why not ask if Wren would like to come? Since you seem so brave and all" I said, totally saying some bull cr*p on the last part.
"I'm not really sure" She responded.

"I will introduce you to my friends, they are really nice," I told her.
"That seems cool... but..."
"Come on, it would be fun. Just do me this favor, and I will pay you back. I promise!" I said, giving her a grin.
"Okay. Fine," said Wren. Finally.
