Time To Brace Yourself

☆5- Lettuce break the silence

°Scarlett° POV

"You're a dick you know that?" I said, breaking the silence of the room where the only sound of the ticking clock could be heard.

"Sorry what about my dick?" Seth replied smugly staring at me from the other side of the room with his feet lazily plonked onto the desk.

Ignoring his obnoxious remark, I ripped my teeth into another piece of liquorice. "Nothing besides the fact that you need a magnifying glass to see it." I replied with my mouth still full and taking another vicious bite.

Again he didn't look the slightest bit insulted but instead he tilted his head to the side in amusement. "How would you know how big mini me is, if you haven't even seen it?"

I shrugged my shoulders and swallowed the sweet in my mouth."Well, considering you're a major dick, you must be compensating for your small one down there." I said, motioning at his lower region.

He frowned and shook his head. "That was a bit harsh." He mumbled.

I rolled my eyes and shoved the last piece of liquorice in my mouth and dusted my hands off onto my pants. "So it is completely okay for you to be a jerk and humiliate me in front of the entire class but as soon as I just dish out a molecular insult, I am the b!tch?"

He just ignored me and shook his head in a disapproving manner.

I shrugged my shoulders and wiggled my ass into a comfier position and closed my eyes. Might as well take a nap.

I heard Seth let out an exasperated sigh then click his tongue in an extremely annoying cave man rhythm. Suddenly disrupted by the noise I pushed myself away from my desk and marched right up to the prick who was grinning at me like the Cheshire cat.

"Wow I was expecting to do more than just the click of my tongue to get you to snap." He said leaning back in his chair as he folded his arms in triumph.

"No you're just annoying as fu-"

"You got lettuce stuck in your braces." He interrupted, mirroring me by scratching his incisors.

Feeling completely embarrassed, I turned to the side and cupped the front of my mouth as I attempted to fish the lettuce out of my brackets.

"Dammit. I swear I must lay off those club sandwiches." I mumbled to myself. My baby hands felt completely useless at hooking food out my teeth.

It didn't make much sense to me though, I was quite tall for the average girl yet I had the shortest arms and hands that looked like they belonged to an 8 year old girl. Basically I was a walking t-rex.

"What was that?" Seth intervened, cupping his ear humorously.

"I said you're an asshole." I spoke louder as I turned my back to him, trying to use my phone's screen as a mirror.

Suddenly I heard the chair scrape against the tiled floor and felt Seth's presence behind me. I decided to just pretend as if he wasn't there and just continued to pinch at the reluctant lettuce that looked like it had melted into my braces.

Seth's presence seemed to be closer than what I remembered it to be, I could feel the soft fabric of his shirt tickling the lower part of my back that was exposed. I attempted to ignore it and focus on my teeth but unfortunately my concentration was lost when I felt Seth's fingertips where his shirt was brushing seconds earlier. Instantaneously the hairs on the back of my neck erected at his cold touch.

"Wh-what are you doing?" I couldn't help but stammer.

"What do you think?" He whispered, his breath fanning my neck. His long fingers gripped my exposed skin and tugged me back so that I was pressed against him.

I gasped at the contact. Why am I allowing this? I wanted to move away but my legs felt like they were about to turn to jello any second.

"You like this don't you?" He whispered huskily in my ear causing the hairs on the back of my neck to erect.

His hands moved in front of my stomach and slowly begin to move his hands down my body. Too far down.

That was when realization struck me and I broke myself free from his gentle but firm grip. I stared at him, with anger ignited in my chest.  "What the actual f*ck Seth?"

And without thinking about it I stormed out the room leaving Seth, who looked like a fish on dry land.

I wasn't sure if I stormed out because I was mad at him for trying his moves on me or for the fact that I midly enjoyed it.
