.''I hate you, I love you''.

Ashira's pov:

"is everything alright?" I sighed at mom's question, she had afternoon classes today so she didn't need to go in to school for a while.

"not really" I said, putting down the newspaper I was reading, I had a Black T-shirt on that stopped shortly after my lower ribs leaving my stomach visible with my sic pack visible, blue shorts and my combat boots. Dash had just the inverse and a longer blue T-shirt with black shorts with the combat boots.

"what's up?" mama asked as she tried to stop Flash from getting food everywhere, Jake was silently eating.

"you know of the Lamp leach?"

"if you are referring to the Lauren girl with the one you always fought and hate each other than yes"

"you know she's in most of my classes?" mama frowned, she didn't like Lamp because of what she did to fuck up our childhood.

"damn that must be hard" she said before taking a sip of her coffee.

"yeah it is and above all we're mates" she chocked on her coffee and ended up spitting it all over the newspaper I held up the cover myself.

"what?!"

"yeah Alfredo says we are mates but I don't feel like this and we were paired for a project, we need to make an essay on the weekly life of each other"

"I-I'm sorry" mama said, still coughing as mom patted her back to make sure she's alright.

"it's alright, well, we'll be going" I said as Dash and I took our bags and then got in the car.

"hey bitch" I sighed deeply, this was one of Lamp's friends I almost hated as much as Lamp herself.... that's an exaggeration, I hated Lamp more.

'you can't hate our mate'

'yes I can!'

"leave me alone before I bash your nose in" I told the tall blond boy with brown eyes that was call Vic.

"oh come on I know you want this dick or you wouldn't dress like that to get my attention"

"I'm not trying to get your attention, leave me alone" I turned away from him, Dash glaring at him.

I felt a hand touch my ass and grabbed harshly, pinning whoever was touching me to the ground with their arm twisted behind their back with my knee on it to keep it in place so both my arms where free.

"I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE FUCKER!! OR WOULD YOU PREFER THAT I SMASH YOUR FACE IN THE CONCRETE SO HARD EVEN BLIND PEOPLE WILL RUN AFTER SEEING YOU!!!!" I growled loudly at that, I'm sure my eyes I glowing bright orange like fire, they did that when I was really pissed off.

"KEEP YOUR FUCKING MINIONS UNDER CONTROL YOU LAMP LEACH BEFORE I SEND ALL OF YOU TO THE AFTERLIFE!!!!" Dash tightly grabbed my shoulders as I tried to get to the fuckers to murder then.

"LET ME AT THEM!!! LET ME KILL THEM!!! I WILL GUT THEM!!! CUT THEM!!! I WILL TEAR THEM APART !!! I'M DONE HOLDING BACK !!!!"

Lauren's pov:

I never felt like this before now, terrified to even breath in case it made Dash let go of his raging sister who would hurt us without a second thought if let free.

"leave now!" Dash barked with angry look in his eyes as he dragged her sister away, I just noticed all the people watching what happened here.

"Lauren that bet went way to far" Rose said, I had bet Vic to piss of Ashira but I never thought she was holding back when we were yelling at each other.... even I will admit that she was much stronger then back then, at 12-year-old.... I was scared.

"maybe you are right for once" I whispered as we walked in the school.

the twins walked in to class a little before the bell rung, Ashira had bandages around her fists with red visible on them, the fuck did she do?! punch a wall?!

she caught my gaze and I saw nothing of the usual hate, I only saw a predatory rage in those orange eyes with only the want to bury me six feet underground.

I was frozen in fear until she looked away and looked out the window with her head on her fists and glaring at nothing, I quietly out a breath that I didn't know I was holding while her eyes seamed to burn through me and the wall behind me.

I gulped and looked at the front as the teacher came in, this wasn't the mutt I knew.......this was a much worst version, good I hate her more than ever before, how does she dare act like that with my friends? how can she dare direct her gaze on someone else but me!? I'm the one she hates and I hate her! nothing else or no one else!
