I rather you be bad with me than bad for me - Anonymous
Song : Cardi B - Lick ( I think this song is fitting because Elizabeth is about do something badass , imagine her going in slow motion at first . )

My heart wasn't beating at its normal pace , I guess that's what happens when you're about to do something purely insane .
I glance backwards and see him following behind me , a challenging expression on his face . His seaweed green dominant of the two colours his eyes hold , glistening with a bit of mischief and curiosity .
I go to stand between two bookshelves at the far back of the library , I knew no one would be down here because there are only books about history .
He stops when I do , mere inches away from me , his eyes not once looking away from me and I wish he would stop doing that because I'm nervous as is .
" Could you stop staring at me ?" I peer up at him with an annoyed expression .
" What , am I making you nervous ?" He whispers in the most seductive tone .
" No , you're not " I lie .
" Go on then , prove to me how fun you are , prove to me that you're not boring " he casually stuffs his hands in his jacket pockets .
You don't have to do this Lizz , you can just walk away , Xavier is nothing but trouble , he's mischevious and he is trying to mislead you .
I close my eyes and push back those thoughts to the back of my head .
You said you'd do it so do it .
" Give me your lighter " I look up at him.
" Ok , not sure what you want it for tho " he takes it from his back pocket and places it in my palm and I'm surprised at how soft his hand is . I was expecting it to be rough .
" You'll see " I grab one of the books from off the counter and hold it by the two hard covers so the thin pages and left hanging down .
Okay , I cant believe I'm doing this . Shit .
I press down on the lighter and immediately flames start to emerge from the container . I put it closer to the book and just as the flames were about to lick at the paper and devour all the writings on it , he stops me .
An enormous amount relief showers me.
His hands goes on mine which the lighter is in and he gently takes it from me , he does the same with the book .
" Point proven , Red "
A ghost of a smile appears on his lips , but just for a second and I couldn't seem to take my eyes away from his face , I was hoping to see a full smile . So I stood there like a fool rooted in my spot while he just looked down on me starting to look amused .
All the blood in my body rushed to my cheeks as I realise this .
As I was about to walk away the librarian walks up to and she sees him with the lighter and the book in his hand . No doubt she thinks he was gonna try and burn it .
And it's not like he had a good reputation in the first place .
" This is all a big misunderstanding " I begin once I see her gaze drop to the lighter in his hand .
" What are you doing ? " he asks me
" Trying to save your ass " I whisper to him . Even tho he didn't look like he cared .
