Elysium(second book in Ambrosia)

Bad intentions

I stared at his back, his black hair ruffled.

I narrowed my eyes, leaning closer.

He turned abruptly, a blank look on his face. "I'm sorry do you have a problem?" He asked.

My eyes widened as the whole class turned to watch us.

"You're Thomas' best mate. Aren't you?" I asked.

"Yeah and?" He raised a handsome eyebrow, his blue almost black eyes shining with boredom.

"And that drunk boy on my lawn. The one who thought he knew me. Right?" I smiled, suddenly aware of everyone's eyes on me.

Whoever this guy was, he was obviously well known.

"I'm pretty sure I haven't gotten that drunk in a while," he smirked. But something close to recognition flickered in his eyes.

"How's your girlfriend?" I asked, knowing instantly he was the same boy Thomas had introduced me to and the boy who had been black out drunk on my lawn a few months before Thomas had introduced us,"Did you fix things?"

Everyone suddenly started talking to each other softly and I heard snatches of conversations.

"...she seriously asked..."

"...does she not know..."

"...moron! Doesn't she get..."

"...no where near his league..."

"...she's so oblivious..."

I looked around, confused.

"Did I say something wrong?" I asked, turning back to the blue eyed boy.

My eyes widened as I saw him staring at me with menace. He suddenly stood up, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the door.

"Percy! Where are you going!" The teacher asked, standing up.

"Bathroom. I'll be back when I feel like it," he replied, yanking the door open and pulling me outside.

The teacher sighed but no attempt to stop him as he shut the door.

He pulled me through the hallway until we came to the front door. He ripped it open and pinned me against the wall next to it as he dragged me outside.

I looked up at him in shock.

"What are you doing?" I asked, my voice quavering.

"Never speak about my girlfriend or me ever again, understand?" He said coldly.

"What?"

"Understand?" He said, squeezing my arm.

"Let go!" I said, pulling away from him.

He stared at me in surprise as I stormed away, strangely heading towards the parking lot.

I didn't think about where I was going, all I knew was that I wanted to get away from him.
