The Brunette Who Slapped Me | On going

5. That's my parking spot

EMILY

"I think we better start doing our projects, cause its due soon" she glances at her phone and puts it away. "3rd July." Ruby sighed, taking a mouthful of her burger.  "What do you mean 'think' huh? I've already started my project. It's almost to its end." I bit my lip to stop myself from bursting out laughing.

"NO WAY! What about you?" She widen her eyes a little at Alex.

"Yeah, I started the project too." He winked at me. I mutely chuckled hiding my face with my hand on my forehead.

"AND YOU?" She looked at Stephan with her eyes almost falling out.

"Mine is done already. What are you guys even talking about?" He glanced at us finishing his burger. Me and Alex knew he doesn't even know about it. Ruby had no idea how easy it is to fool her.  "I hate you guys, you guys could have reminded me about the project. Or atleast have told me that you guys have started it. Now I only have a week to do it." She whined. We all bursted out laughing at her. I gave her a side hug and kissed her cheek gaining a confused look from her.

"No one even thought of it yet, And it's hardly gonna take 2 hours to complete that pinch of a project." Alex spoke, smirking at Ruby. "I'll die off heart attack, because of you three." Ruby said, pointing at us and then sighing in relief. "Hey, don't say that. I'm weak." Stephen clutched his heart dramatically, with a genuine frown on his face.

Brrrrriiiiiinnnnnggggg

"It's library." Alex reminded looking up at me. Only me and Alex had all classes together except accounts. Stephan and Ruby had different subjects but we 4 had psychology in common and that's when we are together.  We left for the library biding goodbyes. You must be wondering who Alex is. Alex is a common best-friend of me and Ruby since the first day of college. We met when we were looking for our classes. Stephan joined our group after a month. And since then we're here, together.

Alex is an amazing person. He is taller than me, with blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He is one of the popular soccer players in the college. How much I envy him. We walked into the library. I looked around to see many girls drooling over him and giving me death glares when they saw us walking together. Umm? Not like we're dating.

And before you assume things, I have nothing called crush on any of the guys atleast not in this college. I'm mostly into studying and in any or every other activities. No I'm no nerd. I'm just not into relationships and shih. The way you prove yourself to be pure is breathtaking *rolling eyes at myself*. Instead of taking any book out of the shelf to read, I started doing my individual project, the 1st one is a group project. So that's for later. But I have no time 'later' for this one.

I have extra classes and home is somewhere I want to chill. I started doing the project when Alex sat right next to me. "Are you doing the project now?" He asked, shocked. "Yeah, I wanna go out late tonight or just chill at home. This project is the last thing I would wanna do after college." I said, arranging the papers.

"Yeah right. What plans tonight?"

"Nothing planned yet. What about you? What are you doing?."

"What ever you want me to do." He wiggled his eyebrows at me. We bursted out laughing at his fail attempt to flirt with me. "Okay I know I'm cheesy but let's call Ruby, Stephen, Zedd and you know...I wanna meet Jane too." He said scratching the back of his neck. He met Jane at my house party 2 months ago and he is crushing on her ever since. Weirdo. "Ruby and Jane are going on a double date tonight. And Stephan has a family appointment. So forget about them." I clarified turning back to my project.

"Oh." He sounded hurt. Maybe because Jane is on a date. You are a genius Emily. "Well, right, forget them. Lets go to the beach." He said pushing away the disappointment in his voice. "Okay then, 8:30 I'll pick you up. Be ready." I said getting back to work again. Normally I picked him up because I love driving my car. And he is a lazy bum. "Yes boss." He saluted and started reading his book.

Beep beeep beeep beeeep

"It's 8:25, you said 8:30" I heard Alex scream from his balcony. "I don't care, hurry up." I shouted back. I wore a black sweater and a pair of blue faded jeans. Comfy much? My dad gifted me a car, after I completed my 1st year with the highest scores.  He finally came down exactly at 8:30. He is way too punctual. He sat on the passenger seat, putting on the seat belt. Once we were settled I started driving towards the beach. Who goes to the beach at 8:30? Well, Alex loves beaches at night. I don't really like beaches or anything to do with water but anything for best friends.

Once we reached there, I dropped him at the entrance and asked him to catch up a spot till I park the car. He nodded and started walking to the beach as I drove looking for a parking space. I parked my car and I could see a Range Rover stop behind my car through the rear view mirror. I ignored it and hopped down the car locking it when I felt someone's presence behind me. I turned around, there stood a tall muscular man, with blonde hair and dark eyes. It was dark I couldn't see other features of him but when I looked at him closely. He looked at me...with...anger? But why?

"Ummm excuse me? Are you alright?" I asked him with a plastered smile on my face.

"That's my parking spot." He said sternly.

"Is it? But I parked my car already." I looked towards my car coolly.

"I don't care, take it out and look for some other parking." He sounds so irritated.

"But I got here first plus the other parking ar-." I argued before I was cut off.

"DON'T YOU HEAR ME LADY. I SAID TAKE YOUR DAMN CAR OUTTA HERE BEFORE WE DO IT FOR YOU." We? Yes, two boys were sitting in the car. He shouted.

I glared at him but when I opened my mouth to fight back nothing came out, a sharp pain jn my lower abdomen dawned on me and I wasn't able to do anything. It hurts!!!!!! BAD TIMING I turned around unlocking my car without making him realize I was in pain. He smiled in victory. I ignored him, clutching my stomach. I jumped in, and parked my car away from him.

"I HATE YOU." I screamed looking down at my stomach. I ran towards the beach looking around to see Alex. I spotted him walking on the shore enjoying the breeze. I walked up to him. My mind still occupied with all of what happened. Bullies like them should be sued. I'm not afraid of them it's just that I wasn't in a state to argue at that particular point of time.

Holy mother of Mother Nature.
