When Things Come Back To Haunt You

Chapter 2

"I'm s-sorry man, I-I didn't know she was y-yours" Tom stuttered. I laughed. Hard. "I'm not his, I'm far from it actually" I said wiping my eyes. A few girls gasped and every other girl just looked shocked, while the boys just smirked at me for denying being Chase's. No one ever did.

Chase turned and looked at me. "I help you and that's the thanks I get?" he asked. "trust me Dixon, the last thing I would ever do is thank YOU" I said crossing my arms over my chest. "well then, I guess I'll leave you to deal with this faggot by yourself" he said starting to walk away, but he turned back around when I called after him, "I didn't need your help anyway Chase, you just decided to but in and pretend like you care. But let's face it, you don't care about anyone but yourself" and I walked past him, inside the school building with the 'oohs' from all the boys following me through the doors.

I got to my locker and put in my combination, got my books out and slammed it shut again. "why the hell did you stand up to him?!" Andy said from beside me, making me jump because I forgot she was there. "Jesus christ Andy!" I said clutching my chest. "what?" she asked, not realizing what she did. "nothing, I did it because we both hate him and I had a chance to be a smart ass to him, so I took it" I said. "ok-oh shit! I forgot I have to go see Mr Orally before class! Catch up with you later Maxi!" Andy said, running away cursing at herself. Damn that child's forgetful.

"yes, why did you stand up to me?" someone said in my ear from behind me. I turned around and slapped the person from my reflexes and then tried not to laugh when when I realized who I just slapped in the face. "ow! what was that for?!" Chase said angrily, holding his cheek. "oops?" I said innocently, shrugging and going to walk away, but Chase grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

"what the hell Chase? What?" I said annoyed and angry. I pulled my hand out of his grasp and glared at him. "answer my question" he said. "you heard me tell Andy why" I said through gritted teeth.

"whatever. Listen, just be careful around Tom alright? He may seem all sweet and caring to start off with but he isn't. He's a player and a cheater" Chase said. "the exact opposite of you right? Especially with the cheating part" I said sarcastically. "that was one time! When are you gonna forget about that?!" he growled. "forget about it?! You've got to be kidding me. Chase, i'm not gonna just 'forget about it' as you put it. She's my best friend and you broke her. You just saw her as another hot chick to shag, you never loved her" I said with venom dripping off every word. "I did love her!" he yelled, gaining the attention of everyone in the corridor and shocking me a little bit.

I looked at everyone and scowled. "get back to your own boring fucking lives would you?!" I yelled at them and they did as I said. Smart little ferals from Lake Macquarie High. "I don't care what you say Chase, it's not gonna change anything" I said and went to walk away again but for the second time he pulled me back.

"just, promise me you'll be careful around him?" Chase said softly, a concerned look on his face. I studied his features quickly before I replied. "I don't have to promise you anything, why do you care anyway?" and as soon as I said that, his smirk was back.

Just like that! It was like magic...oh my god! Maybe he is magic! I like magic.

Maxi shutup!

No! I bet you could even blow people up with magic! That would be so cool.

Maxi seriously! Now is not the time! Magic isn't even that good.

How dare you say that!

Magic.is.awesome. Awesome awesome awesome.

Whatever, you know you probably look like an idiot staring at Chase like he's ice cream.

I'm not-oh my god I am.
