Stalking Charlie

The Deal

Charlie Raven

"Fair is foul, and foul is.."

I yawned openly, cracking my jaw out of boredom from our class. I really don't like this class, the teacher's boring as hell and the subject is not interesting at all.

I looked around my classmates. Most of us are barely awake, the students who aren't sleepy are not really listening to the old man.

There's one who has been shooting murdering glances at me since he came in the room.

Nicolas Alessandro Stone.

I love that name. Alex's name is as cool as his. Nicole Alessandra Stone.

Why not give cool matching names if you've got pretty twins, right?

I looked out the window, not bothered by Nick's dark, brooding glances at me. It's inevitable, of course. He knows I'm dating his sister yet I made a pass at his girlfriend in front of him. If I know him correctly he will want to retaliate on this.

Good. I really need to do something about him and Alex.

It's been weeks since Nick walk in on us. And Alex hasn't been the same. She said her brother don't talk to her about it and he would never tell others for her sake. But she can't stand not to be on speaking terms with her own twin. She said they're never like this.

If he confront me because of that stunt I pulled at Ashley, good. It would give me a chance to speak with him regarding Alex.

It's hard to just come up to him and talk to him about it without his friends and Ashley along with her cronies on the background.

I felt my phone vibrate. I discreetly pulled it out of my jacket's pocket.

Like my gift? -D

I snorted. He wouldn't appreciate it if I tell him what I really like from him would be his goddamn precious time, not a freaking motorcycle.

I wouldn't mind going to Hawaii again with him.

I replied a quick text to this exasperating man.

Yeah, thanks. -CC

When I woke up this morning, I saw his trusted right hand man out my porch. Ryan said the bike was a gift from Devin Bishop, who was glad when he learned that I had been behaving and keeping quiet about my relationship with him this past months I transferred to this new school.

Wasn't really difficult, when no one knows who I am in this place. He had thrown my ass as far as he could.

Besides, it will help me be safer if I remain quiet. Even if I want to be with Devin badly, I'm too afraid to go back and have my life threatened again.

I still have nightmares.

Of course, he doesn't know that.

When I looked around again, I met Nick's midnight blue eyes. He's looking at me seriously, as if seeing something no one else can see.

I tried hard not to flinch from his unwavering gaze. It didn't help that his handsome face is very still, giving my heart a cause to race inside my chest.

Despite what Nick witnessed back on her sister's bedroom, I'm not really a lesbian. I appreciate women, their beauty and all but that's it. I never had a relationship with a girl.

I didn't discourage the rumors flying around about my sexuality. Helps give me more cover about my real self.

I just don't like Alex caught with it. Though she said she don't mind. Said it turns off possible suitors, whom she don't give a damn if it's not Kenneth Mitchell, her brother's bestfriend.
