chapter fifteen

Austin's P.O.V

--

"Yo! Carlile!" I looked up from my phone and noticed Vic walking towards me with Mike behind him.

"Hey.. What's up?" I half-smiled at the thin Mexican boy whom I've started to envy or shall I say, hate. His cocky attitude and blunt flirting with Ethan made my blood boil. I wondered if Mike got those traits from him because Mike is always seen flirting with some girl. But currently, Mike seemed flustered and in a hurry. Almost worried about something. Which is highly unlike the usual stoner kid I've become used to.

"So.. A little birdy told me..." Vic's flirty tone made me fold my arms across my chest and glare at him "You and Ethan have a little thing going on.." he cooed as he stood closer to me. I raised an eyebrow in suspicion but on the inside I was panicking. Did Ethan confess to Vic about our little fling? He promised not to tell a soul. There was no way Vic could've known that unless Ethan told him... right?

"Is that so?" I asked with a playful smirk. Couldn't let my guard down or they'll know its true.

"Yes but that's just a rumor.." Vic ran his fingers through his seemingly flawless brown hair and leaned against the building "But Ethan was totally checking me out in gym today.. He so wants me" he smirked at me and a glint of evil showed up in his eyes as he glared back at me. If Ethan and I were in fact dating, I would've punched Vic's flirty little ass all the way back to Mexico. But we weren't dating. So I simply rolled my eyes to his remark.

"Well maybe if you didn't walk around the locker room with only your boxers on, he wouldn't notice you." I practically spat at him.

"Someone sounds jealous" Vic sneered and I felt myself blush all kinds of jealousy and anger towards Vic's stupid attitude

"I'm n-not jealous.. Jesus will you shut the hell up?" I snapped quickly. But I knew he wouldn't give up without a fight. Vic proceeded to stand extremely close to me, lightly touching my bicep, and chuckling at me

"It's okay if you are jealous.. I can understand" he said quietly so Mike wouldn't hear. "If my partner was looking at other dudes, i'd be rather upset..." I burst out in laughter, holding back the urge to backhand his punk face right now.

"As if you could seduce any guy!" I chuckled

"Well I supposedly seduced Ethan so.." He practically purred to make the anger in my stomach boil even more. That's it. Fuck being kind to him. Fuck logic. Fuck this. Vic was purposefully trying to make me jealous. He had it coming to him. But before I could connect my fist with his jaw, Ethan came out of the school. Cute as ever, he looked around quickly then spotted Vic, Mike and I.

"Oh look who it is! Speak of the devil, am I right?" Vic's eyes flashed with amusement "But don't fret my friend. You wouldn't dare hurt me in front of your one true love, right?" he snickered then moved away from me, back against the wall. That really ticked me off but I held my tongue. If Ethan saw me beat up Vic, he probably would end up hating me for the rest of my life. I couldn't risk that. But I had to stick in a few words in defense, I had the right.

"At least I can actually touch him, unlike you, Mr. Small-Dick McGee who can't get a fucking date." I smirked. Vic seemed to snap inside and his eyes flickered like an angry fire. That was just the icing, wait til I get to the cake.

"The only reason Ethan would even look at you, let alone glance at you, is to mock your scrawny figure. Seriously Vic, ever lift weights?" My voice went monotone as Ethan approached us. His canine bites were green today to go along with his black shirt reading Suicide Silence in the top left corner in green. He was even wearing green high top converse to match up. How does he manage to look so adorable and yet so helpless? The sight of him made my heart speed up and my palms get sweaty. This wasn't new to me though. I've felt this before. But I haven't felt this way in a looong time. It felt good, even if I felt like I was using him, it felt good to have a familiar face to live for. Ethan and I could just have this fling until high school and then it would end, right?
