Beauty Lies| On-going

Chapter 5|Oh boy

Recap♡
One look at Claire and I noticed she was breathing very deeply and I swear you can literally see fumes of smoke coming from her nose and ears.

Oh boy! Someone is in trouble.

~~~

Before I can register what was going on, Claire was already making her way to the counter.

"D! We should stop her before she does any damage," Sophie screeched with her eyes so wider than saucers.

"Shhhh, let's just enjoy the show," I whispered back rubbing my hands together with a smirk on my face. How I wish I had popcorn right now.

I thought Claire was going to walk up to Alex and confront him or something, but was I wrong. What she did shocked everyone, including me.
She raised her hand and slapped him right across the face so hard that his face wiped to the side and she walked away with a smirk as if nothing happened.

While he was still in shock of what happened or maybe trying to figure out why Claire slapped him, we where already out the door laughing like crazy minions. Even Sophie who was so scared.

♡Next day♡

Alex came in the maths class today sporting a very large bruise or may I say a hand print on his cheek. I wanted to laugh so bad but looking up closely I saw that his cheek was slightly sore, and the bruise is slightly purple.

There's something different about him today too. Jaw clenched so hard and looking in his eyes they seem colder than usual. There's also another emotion but I can't seem to put a finger on it. Sadness? Hurt? I have never been good at reading people's emotions. I felt a shiver run down my spine and I wanted to cower away in fear.

He sat down next to me without a word. He folded his arms on the the table and hid his face in his hands. I didn't know what to do. My instinct was telling me to comfort him but I already know that he won't like that. So I just sat there awkwardly and try not to breathe too loud.

"I bet you are happy now," He whispered so softly that I wasn't even sure if I heard him right.

"Excuse me?"

"Don't make me repeat myself. You know you are the reason why I have this thing on my cheek." He clenched his teeth glaring at me. He looks so scary.

"Really? Because last time I checked my name is Daisy and not Claire, and why would you think it's my fault anyways? Oh I get it. You need someone to blame for getting your ass kicked by a girl and that so happened to be me," I said stifling a giggle and trying to smirk at the same time.

"Just shut up." If his glare wasn't scary before, it sure as hell is now.

I lifted my hand to my mouth and pretend to zip it while trying so hard not to laugh. Does it make me a bad person that I find joy from his sadness?

~~~

At lunch time, I went back to sitting with the girls, seeing as the threat that was keeping me away is gone.

"Have you seen Alex today? I haven't seen him to look at my masterpiece," Claire said, already on the edge of her seat and looking at me with sparkly eyes.

"It's not like I have a choice to not see him. We attend the same classes, sit at the same table so..." I said shrugging my shoulders, avoiding the main thing that she wants to hear.

"I'm not playing with you girl, so you better give me the details now."

"Mmm... Let's see," Making a thinking face that just seems to get her more mad.

"Come on just tell us already before I hit you with this apple," said Sophie threateningly with the apple already raised.

"Woah, no need to get all violent on me. Let's just say he has a hand print on his cheek and tried to blame me for everything," I said in one breathe, partially scared of being hit by crazy Sophie.

I stared eating my fries, listening to Claire as she animatedly talk about how she wishes to see him and rub her success in his face like he did to me. I realized that he isn't with his friends. Running away from our problems now, are we?

Maybe he decided to have his lunch outside.

Or maybe he's just sulking somewhere in the bathrooms. Poor baby.   

~~~

School is out and I'm making my way to my locker. I haven't seen Alex after lunch since he didn't turn up for all the lessons. It's not as if it's any of my business, but the soft side in me was still worried that something bad has happened to him.

I shouldn't be feeling like this.

I'm not supposed to care what happens to him.

Just as I was about to round the corner to my locker, my arm was pulled roughly from behind. This startled me and I almost screamed but before I could, rough hands blocked my mouth. Goosebumps rose throughout my body as I am pulled into a dark room...
