Chapter 31

Author’s P.O.V

“Hey why don’t you fucking watch where you’re going,” Justin sneered. He was meeting Selena and the others in the lunch room when Daren smashed into his shoulder as he walked by.

Daren’s characteristic smirk graced his lips, the wickedness of the action itself hinted at his corrupt nature. “Now, now, Justin,” he said as if he was chiding a small child. “I wouldn’t get too bitchy with me.”

Justin’s eyebrows raised in amusement at Daren’s hidden challenge. He squared his body. “And if I do?” Justin folded his arms across his chest.

“Oh trust me, Justin.” Daren spoke, his eyes darkening. “You don’t know what I’ve got up my sleeve.” He suddenly lifted his head in a cocky manner. “Or in my pants. Like your girlfriend was last night.”

The entire cafeteria went silent, their attention poured over the conflict at the center of the room. Both boys knew that the statement was false, but just the string of words that came out of Daren’s mouth rose Justin’s anger level. And it didn’t help in the least that he was already on edge from the anticipation of the plan that was going down after school.

“I’m warning you now, Daren, things will not end well if you don’t stop talking.”His voice sounded strangled due to his clenched teeth.

“Alright. I understand, Justin.” Daren stepped closer. “Why don’t we change the subject,” Daren’s voice was just barely over a whisper. The intrigued crowd could only watch the pair’s body language for hints as to what they were saying. “Have you told Selena yet that you know she was raped?”

His body tensed and his nostril’s flared as his temper rose. “Shut the fuck up,Daren! Stop fucking with my head!” The crowd started humming with whispers at Justin’s outburst. “You knowthat’s a fucking low blow.” Justin sent a hidden message through his eyes that held a piercing fury. (AN: This is the part where you should be confused lol)

Daren head tilted with that twisted smile, “Is it, Justin? How’d you know I found out?”

“Not that difficult to assume.”

“I wonder what Selena would think…you know, her being raped and all.”

“I told you to shut your fucking mouth!” Justin socked him square in the jaw, earning gasps from the clueless crowd. Daren smeared the blood that trailed from his mouth with his sleeve. And before Justin could react, he returned the hit to his jaw, causing Justin to stumble back a few feet.

“I guess your past just keeps slapping you in the face, doesn’t it?” Daren chuckled. Justin lunged at him and tackled him to the tiled floor as the students began to horde around them in excitement.

Selena’s P.O.V

“Justin! Are you okay? What happened? What did they say?” I shot questions at him as he exited the principal’s office with a bruised jaw and black eye.

“I’m fine,” he huffed. “Me and Daren are both suspended for a week. No big deal.”

“How did this even happen?” I said breathlessly as we stood in the empty hallway.

“It’s nothing. Just talking crap that he started last weekend.”

“Justin,” I gave him a disapproving tone, telling him that I wasn’t satisfied with his answer.

He sighed heavily. “He just keeps making up lies about you.”

“What kind of lies?”

He looked away from my stare. “Bad ones,” he said quietly.
