You're Mine

Chapter 53

"Leave me be girls, I'd rather talk with Maria alone about it all." I said with my arms crossed as the two walked away.

I walked down the halls and went back to the same spot I saw Maria waiting for Hunter again. I bet she's still there waiting.. and she was, by herself still also.

"Heyyy, Maria!" I greeted giving her a fake smile as I walked over to her.

"Karina." she replied giving me a stern look.

"Oh, come on! Why that face?" I questioned.

"You lied to me about Hunter, why?" she questioned with her arms crossed.

"Okay, so some parts might've been a lie." I replied shrugging it off. "And I did it because I thought that would make you leave Hunter." I added with a small smile.

"What? Why would you try to make me leave Hunter?" Maria questioned again.

Gosh. This girl is really slow, isn't she? I just don't see what Hunter sees in her. She's completely stupid and not even pretty.

"Ugh. How slow can you be?" I replied with an annoyed tone. "I'm in love with Hunter, and I want you to back off." I added.

"Okay.. and if I refuse too?" she asked.

"If you refuse to, I'm gonna make your life a living hell." I replied with a smile. "So, what do you say? Deal or no deal?" I asked.

"No deal, you can't have him." she replied.

"And why can't I? It's a good trade, your life stays happy and not miserable, and I can have Hunter. Plus, I'm sure he'd leave you after 2 months." I laughed. "You know, get bored of you~" I added with a smile.

"Why, you ask? Because he's mine. And I'm his." she replied boldly. "And I'm willing to accept that risk," she added.

I looked around and at the corner of the hallway, I saw Hunter. I had to make this quick if I didn't want him to know I talked to Maria. The hallway was filled with students trying to get to some place. Therefore, I turned my attention back to her.

"I'll give you 3 days to end things with him. And if you haven't yet, then prepare for your life being a living hell." I replied smiling. "Bye bye~!" I added cheerfully walking away.

MARIA'S POV:

As Karina walked away, I had a glum expression as she threatened to make my life a living hell if I didn't end things with Hunter. But she was only bluffing, right?

"Hey, Princess." Hunter greeted with a smile which faded away quickly when he saw the expression displayed on my face. "Are you okay? You look a bit upset about something." he added looking down at me.

"Huh?" I replied looking up at him. "Oh, um-- I'm okay. Just thinking about things." I added followed by a chuckle.

But he still continued examining me.

"Oh yeah, what are you thinking about?" he questioned, as if trying to get me to say whatever was wrong.

I stayed quiet, not wanting to tell him just yet and not wanting to lie to him either. But wait, I already lied when I said I was okay.. then again, who doesn't lie about being okay when their really not?

After staying quiet for a long time, he just said, "It's okay. You don't have to tell me now, you can tell me when you're ready."

"Thank you." I replied, our gazes still looked onto each other. The whole time I was looking into his eyes, all I could see was worry.
