Treacherous

Chapter 11: I Would Never Let A Girl Like You Slip Away From My Fingers

Valentine's POV

I dumped my books in my locker and shut it with a loud bang. I turned around only to find Connor.

My efforts of ignoring him just went down the drain.

"Hey," I said as I played with my hair nervously. I looked up at him and he had an unreadable look on his face. Suddenly, he took a step back from me and said, "you know."

I looked down and nodded. "Who told you?" He snapped. My eyes widened at his outburst. "Calm down. I asked Zander."

"Of course. Zander fucking Black." After that, he turned around and stormed away in Zander's way. I, of course, followed him trying to match his pace.

"What the fuck is your problem? Why are you trying to screw my relationship?" I heard Connor shout at Zander. I saw as Connor threw a punch at Zander's face but he quickly blocked it.

"I haven't done no such thing. You are a fucking piece of shit. You are getting what you deserve." And Zander was once again given a punch but this time, he wasn't able to block it. By now, a circle of people was starting to form while some were even recording the fight.

I looked around in a panic to find Andrew. And I did, he was already looking at me. I gave him a pleading look; please-stop-this-fight-before-anything-bad-happens and he nodded and jumped into the fight.

"STOP! Both of you! Fighting like a stupid bunch of kids, we can solve this fight by talking. Come on Zander, he isn't worth it and you know it." Andrew said. Thank god, he had some brains.

"Yeah. You are right." After saying that Zander and Andrew both walked out from school and some people who were standing in the circle let out a groan of disappointment. I rolled my eyes at their immature behaviour and hurriedly walked towards Connor.

"Connor, why did you start this fight?" I asked him angrily.

"Of course, you'll take his side." He said bitterly and my eyes widened. What was wrong with him? I'm not taking any sides. Zander was a great friend of mine and what Connor did was totally not acceptable. He should've thought about doing anything.

"Connor, I'm not taking sides. What you did was wrong, you punching Zander was not at all necessary. What's wrong with you?"

"You know what? You're just like the people Zander sleeps with. I know what you want from him. You are trying to get close to him. You are fucking pathetic." I let out a gasp and my eyes stung.

I am not going to cry in front of this asshole.

"Connor Bradley, you are the world's most pathetic excuse for a human. You ruined a girl's life and I hate you for that. You don't deserve anything you get. We're better off without each other. In fact, no one can change you. No one can save you from your own demons. Good fucking bye." I said angrily and went straight to the girl's washroom.

I got in one of the stalls, I slid down the door of the stall and brought my knees closer to my chest. Then, I rested my head on my knees and cried.

Zander's POV

"What the fuck is his problem?" Andrew snapped. I closed my eyes and buried my face in my hands.
