Maybe I'm Better Off Dead

Chapter 6

I dozed off right after brown left. 

A loud thud startled me. My eyes flung and body jolted up from the comfort of the mattress.

I frowned as I saw Red smirking in his short sleeve black t-shirt and baggy worn out jeans. With one hand stretched outward, he leaned against the white concrete wall. The table next to him contained twelve books, each seemed to be 600-1000 pages. I stared at him wishing the smack him with those books for disturbing my slumber 

"Tch......", I got off my bed and stretched. As I was yawning, I realized my mouth was dry and I had gross morning breath. Glancing at Red who was waiting for me, I ignored him and  made my way to the bathroom.

Wait there, you fucking jerk...

After using the bathroom and brushing my teeth. I glanced around the room and Red was nowhere to be found. Sadly he left the books on the table. 

"huh...", I stared at the books curiously.

Approaching them I felt an uneasy feeling of being stared at. I turned my head to the right and left but, there was no one. Suddenly two hands slid under my waist making me freeze. A cold sweat ran through my body

Red snickered at my reaction. I could feel his breath on the side of my neck, and it made me anxious. I felt weird being held in such way. In a quick movement, he pushed my body against the wall and held my hands to prevent escape. Startled my voice would not come out. He was lucky it didn't because the words I would say were not pleasant. There was a silent pause were we just stared at each other.

"first lesson, never lower your guard and don't ignore your instructor"

you could tell by his voice how upset Red was from being ignored. I couldn't do anything but nod and accept. Releasing the grip on my hands, I quickly moved away from Red.

"Green will test you on book material in two days, memorize it by then."

"two days?!?!?! Thats ridiculous...." I stomped my foot in disagreement.

Red crossed his arms and sighed, " not my rules"

"fine, I should start reading", I prepared to sit down but, Red cough me by the arm before I did.

"two days not counting today. You have training with my today", He dragged me out of the room and into the elevator. He released his grip on my arm once inside the elevator.

rubbing my arm were he held me I glared at him, "there is no need to drag me around, I can walk behind you"

He turned his head and glared , "you walk slow"

I clenched my fist fighting the urge to punch him in the gut. I did not like how rude he was being, and who would blame me if he come out this elevator bruised and beaten.

The ding of the elevator brought my mind back to reality. I quickly glances at the elevator sign.

Basement Floor C

Red was out as the door opened, and I followed. I turned my head asa I walked behind him. The basements floor C consisted of gym equipment, rock wall climbing, large and small pools, boxing equipment, shooting ranges, and more. The farther Red walked with me, the more equipment I saw. 

Red halted in front of me which made my face collide with his back. Stumbling I nearly caught myself and rubbed my forehead. 

Muscles...

I shook my head embarrassed at myself for thinking such thoughts.

"Let's start you off with a test" 

He grabbed my hand and flung me toward a mat and rack of wooden sticks. I tripped and fell onto the blue mat. 

"heh...."

He chuckled behind me. My face blushed in embarrassment. Pushing myself up, I grabbed one of the sticks. 

"Come!"

Motioning for me to attack him, I grabbed the pole tightly and smirked. I was going to enjoy this!

Pushing myself forward with my feet, I swung the stick at him. He dodged, again, and again. I kicked the back of his ankle at one point, only to make him go down and sweep my feet right under me. 

"your awful at this", he sneered

I glared at him 

"I know I'm handsome but there's no need to stare!"

yes... he was handsome with that symmetrical face of his and muscles.....nice muscles, nice hair, nice face but, shit personality.

I sighed, "sadly the only thing good thing about you if your face"

he raised his eyebrow, "oh?"

Trying to avoid what I just had unintentionally said. I quickly walked away to put the equipment back.

"So you admit I'm handsome?"

He was keeping up with me, I began to pick up the pace.

"don't avoid this, tell me how handsome I am"

"tch..." I clicked my tongue, "your handsome but also annoying and arrogant." I looked at him as if he were a piece of trash. 

Staring at me with a straight face that slowly turned into a smile. He began to laugh. "you're brutal!"

I walked closer to him and glared. "and you're a piece of shit"

He stopped laughing and stared at me. Still holding the wooden stick in my hand, I debated to hit him.

As my thoughts were processing, He grabbed my chin and brought his lips towards mine until they touched. I pushed him away wiping my mouth.

Red licked his lips and smiled, "how did it feel to kiss a handsome piece of shit?".
