Hill Top Academy: Change in Tide

Dont Ask For Mercy

Chapter 25

Luke wrapped his arms around me.

"Ignore her" he said kissing my cheek.

"You don't know her.." I mumbled.

"Oh yes I do, I share my dorm with her" my stomach tightened and my heart raced, somewhat took a step away from him.

"Are you ok?" He asked worriedly

"I am fine" I said beginning to open Eclipses stall.

"Are you sure?"

"IM ABSOLUTELY FINE LUKE JUST LEAVE ME BE FOR A BIT OK?" He was taken back.

"I'm sorry for bothering you" he said harshly before leaving the barn. I sat in Eclipses stall. "What have I done" I looked up at her, as her velvet nose came down to me, her breath on my face. I kissed her velvet muzzle. As I heard the stall door open. Aaron peeked in as I wiped my face off, he sat down across from me.

"How'd you get here" I looked up at him

"I drove" he pet Eclipses muzzle

"I heard what hap-"

"Stop talking" I pointed to the stall door and he left immediately.

I sat there for hours until the mystery boy came and sat with me.

"You never told me your name" I looked up at him

"Liam, Liam Acughn" I smiled

"Well it's nice to put a name to the face." He nodded as he rubbed Eclipses neck, I've never her seen her so ok with someone.

"Wanna help me tack her since she absolutely adores you?" I exited the stall

"Sure" he grabbed my brush box an set it inside after I started brushing one side, he did the other. We put on all her tack as I fixed my hair, about to put my helmet on, he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.

"You'll do great!" He smiled as he helped me put my helmet on.

"Thanks" I smiled as I buckled it.

He led Eclipse out of her stall and held her for me. I put my foot in the stirrup and swung up and over into the saddle.

"Go show them who's boss" he laughed as I walked into the dressage ring. There were more people there than in the jumping ring. I was nervous "come on ange you got this" I thought to myself. I exhaled and took a breath before asking Eclipse into a nice working trot. I did my dressage tests. Someone's phone went off spooking Eclipse into a gallop. I got up into two point riding it.

"Halt" I said loudly as she began to slow to a stop. I rubbed her neck

"it's okay Eclipse your all right" I said soothingly as I walked over to the stands of people and I stood up on Eclipses back.

"My horses spook, and that was uncalled for. If you are to watch me practice, I sure as hell hope you have your damn phones off" I shifted my weight and asked Eclipse to walk as I stop on her back. I did a backflip off and landed perfectly. I started leaving the arena.

"Eclipse come" I said softly as she perked her ears and cantered over immediately. The people gasped in amazement.

"To your stall" I pointed down the aisle as she walked to her stall.

"How" I heard someone say

"It's called trust and obedience" I responded to the questioning voices. I walked off as Liam walked up behind me and picked me up as I screamed and covered my mouth instantly.

"Don't do that" I said through the laughter.

"Fine" he mumbled and helped me untack Eclipse.

~20 minutes later~

"Who's this?" I heard Luke say in a disgusted voice.

"This is Liam" I said with a smile

"He's my new roommate" I laughed and punched Liam's shoulder as Luke sighed.

I grabbed his hand and walked down the hall.

"Stop this" I said sternly

"What" he said confused.

"This!, Luke this overreacting bullshit" he sighed and hugged me

"I'm sorry, ill just go" he turned and walked away. After he left I collapsed onto the ground, crying. Liam walked out and set his hand out to help me up. I took his offer and stood up.

"Are they in?" I said trying to smile.

"Yes, Ben is cleaning your tack in your boots."

"Great" I smiled.

We walked to the rooms we were staying in. Victoria saw me before I entered my teams' room.

"I saw Lukey Poo" I rolled my eyes as I found the key

"He gave me a kiss" I held my breath fumbling with the key to get it into the lock holding back tears.

"He doesn't love you, you devil" I turned and slapped her

"SHUT UP, JUST SHUT IT!!! IM TIRED OF YOUR FAKE ASS RUINING MY LIFE!!" She looked at me, a wide smile on her face

"I'm glad I've been ruining your life" I raised my fist to punch her as Luke pulled me to him from behind, kissing my head. He whispered in my ear "it's ok my dear angel! Take a deep breath" I took a deep breath and he began carrying me into my room.

"You should've let her punch the bitch" Devin said as he was reading

"I mean unless you love Victoria more than her.." Devin added. Luke set me down and walked up to Devin making him look up at him

"You better shut your mouth buddy, otherwise ill do it for you" I looked at the two amazed

"You want me to shut up because you actually do love Victoria, I saw you and her, you better fess up to your Angel or deny your devil." Luke gave him a cold look.

"I have evidence Luke, I can tell Angelica for you if you'd like."

Luke walked out of the room and shut the door abruptly.

"Are you kidding me" I said looking at Devin

"Come" he said motioning to sit next to him, so I stood up and sat next to him. He pulled out his phone and scrolled to the most recent picture, Luke was kissing Victoria. I gasped,

"What room?" I said sternly

"#328" he said with a smile as I stood up and left leaving the door open. I walked to door 328 and walked in finding Luke with his guy friends. I picked him up and held him up against the wall my hand on his throat. His friends thought I was hot but, I ignored them and spoke to Luke in front of them.

"You kissed Victoria" he looked at me, begging for mercy

"From now on I hope you life is a living hell" I took his phone out of his pocket.

"Shall I delete my contacts since I mean nothing to you?" I had released my grip on his neck and allowed him to stand but my arm was across his chest.

"Angelica, let me expla-"

"SHUT UP LUKE, I mean nothing to you now" I threw his phone to the ground, which had my contact still but the ringtone was

"We are never getting back together" or whatever it's called by Taylor Swift. I left his room slamming the door behind me. Liam was walking toward me his arms open for a hug and I took it. I hugged that damn boy like I've never hugged anyone before.

Luke opened his door and saw me hugging Liam. I released the hug and turned around giving him my middle finger, walking backwards all the way back to my room and when I reached the door, I yelled down the hall

"FUCK YOU BITCHHH!!" I entered my room and slammed the door. Devin looked at me,

"Feel better?"

"Much" I said pissed as I entered the bathroom and took a shower.
