How To Get Away With Punching Felix

Chapter 1

You know how sometimes you just really want to punch someone just right in the face? Yeah that is how I always felt with Felix. But it seems I am the only one. All of the students of Jenkinson High School adores Felix. Why? To be perfectly honest with you, I think it is because he has good looks, is an amazing photographer, and he is such a flirt.

Felix bugged me so much though. Why I didn't like Felix, is he always tried to flirt with me. I mean he flirted with other girls, but when I was around all his attention was on me. He also tried to flirt with me to his advantage, like to do his homework for him, or to tell him answers to tests, or to give him money so he could go out and do what ever! I hated him. I hated him!!!! I loathed him!!

Felix is so annoying and I have known him since the fifth grade! I've had to deal with him for six years! I really wished that he would stop coming to me. That's why it happened. And here's how the story went.

***

"Marine!" I heard Felix yell as I walked out of English. I walked faster. Hurry, hurry! I thought. It was the last period of the day, and I was so close to having a Felix free day. He grabbed my wrist. "Hey, so I was wondering, you know the English homework that we have?" He asked. I turned and folded my arms looking at him not so happily.

"Yes." I said coldly.

"Well I am really busy with my photography, and was wondering if you could do it for me?" He asked. I raised an eyebrow.

"Are you kidding me? No! You need to learn how to actually b-" I stopped myself before I said something wrong. I took a deep breath. "Listen. I am not doing your homework. It might surprise you but I have stuff to do too. Besides you need to try and juggle everything like how I have to." I said. He groaned.

"Why do you always do this? I really need help Marine." He said. I shook my head. His frown grew into a smirk. "Wait, let me guess, you want me to pay you!" He said. "Well I could give you a kiss. I mean going around and kissing different girls to help me isn't my style, but if that is what i need to do for help then I will do it." He said. I looked at him in disbelief.

"No!" I shreiked. He frowned again.

"Well then what do you want Marine?" He asked.

"I want you to leave me alone forever!" I said.

"You know I can't do that! I mean we've known eachother for so long! Come on. I need this help." He said.

"Go ask one of your admirers! I'm sure they'd love to help you!" I said turning around.

"Marine please." He said, and he grabbed my shoulder.

"Felix, just leave. Me. Alone!" I said.

"Why do you hate me so much Marine?! I have tried to be friends with you but you just push me away." He said, looking at me with sad eyes. I wasn't buying it.

"Because Felix, I know what a jerk you are! You try to use people to your advantage, because you have piled yourself up with to much stuff. You are careless, and annoying. You think you can get any girl by flashing your smile at them. Well guess what you can't. You know why? because you can't get me." I said.

"But you want me to." He smiled.

"You are so ridiculous too! You still think that nothing can go wrong! Well wake up Felix, because in six months you will be heading into reality! And what you are living now is not reality! That's another thing I hate about you and your friends. You can't face reality!" I said fuming with anger. He looked at me with wide eyes.

"Marine, are you stupid or something? Of course I have faced reality!" He said. I scoffed.

"did you just call me stupid Felix?" I asked.

"Yeah, I did, because right now you are being extremely stupid." He said.

"Yeah? Well you always act stupid!" I said.

"Oh shut up Marine. Everyone knows that you're dumb because you dated Malcom." He said. I widened my eyes.

"excuse me? I am so sorry for being a human being and making a small mistake, and for that mistake the whole school hates me! And how dare you bring him into this?" I said.

"Because I am trying to make a point that you did the most stupid thing that anyone could in this high school." He said. I felt tears well up in my eyes.

"Well lucky you. I bet if you dated someone out of your league, everyone would be fine with it, because you are one of the schools saints. and I am ordinary. Everyone thinks you are perfect, well you're not, so stop bugging me about this!" I said. Then it happened. BAM! I punched him so hard in the face, that I felt my fist swell up. everything around us went silent. Felix staggered back. He looked at me furiously.

"You are going to regret that." He said.

"Not as nearly as much as meeting you." I said. And I walked away in a hurry. Felix understands nothing. He has no idea my reasoning for anything. I would never have dated malcom. In fact you have always hated his guts! Felix thinks that you are so dumb and don't understand anything, well it's him that doesn't understand anything.

I walked inside of my house. I knew I had been a jerk. And I had acted like someone that would bug me so much. I walked in my room and collapsed on my bed. Thank heavens it was a weekend.
