I Hate You But I Love You.

I Hate You But I Love You. Chapter 6

Everyone looked at me with slightly wide eyes. One kid I didn’t know looked me up and down which followed with a “Daaaaaaamn.”

Trinity started snickering and muttered something to Alice which I didn’t catch. I looked at Dakota, “Well?”

He glanced at Lukas a few times and something in the air seemed to change. Lukas looked up from the ground at me, his eyes on fire. “Geez, someone’s sure is on their high horse. Where the hell do you get off basically saying that people are obsessed with you and “stalking” you?”

Lukas had such a dark manor about him, all clad in dark clothing. His dark hair covering up almost all of his face, not to mention the deep scowl that seemed to be permanently set. I’m pretty sure that a person in this situation would back off, but I just got even more pissed.

“Well, normally I wouldn’t. But when people tend to stare at you a lot for no apparent reason and crap like this happens, you tend to wonder what’s going on.”

There was a slight shuffling when I mentioned being stared at and Lukas’ composer left him for a second, but was quickly regained.

“I can’t believe I thought you were a cool person, even for a second,” he sneered, looking to the side.

“What the hell are you talking about? This just makes me more concerned as, we have hardly ever talked before.”

Lukas whipped his head back in my direction and then briskly walked closer and towered over me, which was a bit intimidating, I’ll admit. His eyes searched mine for a moment and I swear I saw a bit of panic; but it disappeared quickly.

“You don’t remember, do you?”

“Remember what?” I asked, suddenly realizing how close our bodies were. His breath was tickling my face and I could feel the warmth emanating from his body, even in the cold wind. I wanted to back away, but I didn’t want him to think he intimidated me. No way could I let him think that.

His scowl deepened and someone behind him cleared their throat. It was Dakota. Lukas glared at me for a second longer and then turned his head to look at Dakota.

“Um, I think maybe you should calm down.”

“Calm down?! Why would I calm down when bitch tits thinks she’s so high and powerful.”

I grabbed a handful of Lukas’ hair and pulled his head back so he was facing me, “What. Did. You. Just. Call. Me?” His eyes widened. I really don’t like being called things like that, even if it’s just the way some people use slang, I find it degrading. Plus, he was insulting me. “And second of all, I don’t think I’m all high and powerful. I’m just wondering what has been going on, dumbass.”

Lukas’ eyes narrowed and he wrapped his hand around my wrist, “Let go.”

“Apologize.”

“No.”

“Then we’re stuck here.”

We stood there for a few moments; even the others seemed like they didn’t know what to do. I had my fingers wrapped firmly around a clump of Lukas’ hair and he knew that if he pulled at my wrist, that his hand was still attached to, he would be in a bit of pain.

Finally, someone said something.

“Scarlet, I think you should let go of him,” Alice said firmly behind me.

I glared some more at Lukas, neither of us dared to break eye contact. But Alice speaking encouraged some of the other guys to start murmuring stuff. Dakota took a step closer, “Come on guys, chill out.”

I noticed Lukas’ eyebrow twitch and his mouth opened like he was about to say something, but stopped when a cell phone’s ringtone went off. It was some song from Bring Me the Horizon and it sounded like it was coming from Lukas’ pocket; all the guys stopped what they were saying. Lukas looked panicked for a second, but using his free hand fished out the cell phone.

“Hello?” he said in a surprisingly formal voice. After about a minute of silence on our end he shut the phone and glared at me, “Let go. I need to be somewhere.” Out of just the fun of annoying him, I wouldn’t have, but his voice had a sense of urgency that I wasn’t expecting. So I released my grip on his hair and he let go of my wrist; only after I realized how much my skin burned. Was it from his touch or his grip? What the hell? Don’t think like that.

I took a step back from him and he walked away from all of us, without even saying a goodbye to his friends. But after Lukas left, they too dispersed. Turning back to Trinity and Alice I was greeted with their very confused looking faces.
