There's Always A Reason... [Book 1]

Chapter 12

Leila's POV

"Hey, I didn't mean it..." Zack said and tried to clarify. I know he didn't do that on purpose as he couldn't help being a physic. I was used to, him just spitting things out...

Though, it was his mistake.

"Yeah, I know." I said in a fake sarcastic tone as I crossed my arms over my chest and faced him away.

"Hey, Come on..." He prolonged the word 'on'.

"What? You weren't supposed to spit something like that in such a way...And you know that..."
Of course I was going to troll him. I smiled devilishly in my mind.

"Okay, okay. I get it...I'm sorry." He said and hung his face down...Really?

"Only if you promise bye me donuts."
I said with a slight smile, maybe hardly noticeable and raised an eyebrow.

Maybe he noticed my mischievousness and looked at me with a raised eyebrow and smiled as if half surprised and half of a smirk...

"What?" I tried to sound innocent...

"You know, sometimes I forget your 17 years old..." He said and shook his head. Never settling his eyebrow back at its place.

"Duh! 'Cause I'm not!" Then I stuck my tongue out.
"I'm 16."
I said with pride in my eyes...It felt so great to prove someone wrong...

He just laughed and we both went for our dinner...

Sean's POV

Okay, so today was Monday and on Wednesday Leila's school would start.

I couldn't help but feel great about it. Time I had to spend with her lessened...

I opened my eyes and starred at the ceiling as I swung my leather back seat in my office.

I sighed heavily...
Why did she have to be so difficult...?

Suddenly, Max flung open the door and sat on of the chair in front of me. He smiled widely.

"What?" I asked with a shrug.

"When will you start?" He asked as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"What?" I tried to sound innocent.

"Duh, when will you start doing your dare?" He said with an on purpose fake smile.

"Soon enough." I replied harshly as I took out a file and started studying it.

"What? You're mad at me?" Max asked with innocence.

What was I supposed to answer him now?

'Come on never! You're my best friend.'

Or

'Yeah! Cuz you just pushed me into the hell.'

"I don't know." I replied coldly.

"Sean. You know I did it for your own sake." He tried to explain.

"Yeah totally." I then continued with a sweeping gesture.

"You just handed me over to a scorpion."
I said as I gave him a smile. I rested my chin on my left hand which was holding a pen too.

He sighed.

"It's just a dare." He said trying for the last time to defend himself.

I waited for some moments. He was just about to leave as he got up from his chair and looked straight at the table just below his sight.
