BLACKMAIL | MATT CHAMPION

COULD YOU BE ANYMORE OF AN ASSHOLE?

"you're going to shave his eyebrows off too? damn, who knew he's insane as you?" ian teases, as we walk down the hall together.

i'm heading to the library for my free period, and he's going to his physics class. i've never been to the library for my free periods, usually i wander around the halls and admire the art class' work that hangs in the hallway. so this is going to be my first time going inside of the library at this time.

but i really hate that, ian and i, don't have matching schedules, considering that he's my only friend.

i laugh at his comment, "we're going to egg his house tonight, then we're going to put a mousetrap on his dick for the finale." i say with a huge smile on my face. i probably shouldn't be excited about this, but too late now.

ian raises his eyebrows, "well you better be careful, and don't get caught." he whispers.

i grin, "i won't."

"but if you do, blame it on your little boyfriend." he jokes, while he parts his way from me, and walks down a different hallway in order to get to his class.

"very funny!" i say, as i hear him laugh from a distance.

i now walk down a lonely hallway by myself. i see the library and open the door, and of course as expected, it's quiet. the only people inside of here is a group of boys sitting at a table, trying not to be loud to piss off the librarian.

two of the boys faces look oddly familiar, and i realize that it's merlyn, and joba. i didn't even know that we went to the same school. they're also sitting with five other guys, which i'm going to assume are their friends.

i walk past the table until i hear the familiar voices, "everlee!" joba and meryln, say in harmony.

i give them a smile, "hey guys."

"come and sit with us!" meryln invites me.

i'm guessing it would be rude to turn down his offer, so i take a seat right next to him, "guys, this is, everlee," he introduces me to their group of friends, "and this is romil, hk, dom, ameer, and bearface." he points at each boy as he introduces them.

they all greet me nicely with warm smiles on their faces, "she's, matt's, next door neighbor and friend." joba blurts.

"matt has a friend other than us?" romil looks offended.

"and shes a girl? that's the first." bearface chuckles, and so does the rest of them.

"matt, doesn't really socialize that much so this is new to us, he's really quiet." ameer explains to me, he's really tall by the way.

hk nods his head, "we all became friends in middle school, and we've never seen him be friends or talk to anyone else but us," he adjusts himself in his seat, "that is until he met you." he grins.

"you must be special to him." dom shrugs.

these guys have no idea what's going on between us.

i fake a smile, since i feel a little guilty that they have no idea that i'm blackmailing one of their closest friends. they really think that, matt and i, are some super close friends.

"wait, you're his neighbor?" romil asks.

i nod, "we've lived next to each other for almost four years, we didn't become friends until recently."

he continues, "matt, has talked about you a couple times, he's said that you're-" he's cut off by, ameer, who nudges his shoulder and gives him a 'shut the fuck up' look.

"romil, i swear if you don't shut your ass up." dom bumps the back of head.

there's a moment of silence due to, romil, almost slipping some information that he's apparently not supposed to be saying. i wonder what, matt, has said about me?

not that i care at all.

"can i ask you guys something?" i break the silence, "it's about, matt."

"oh, this is going to be good," ameer sits up, "shoot the question, everlee."

i play around with my fingers out of nervousness, "is he always so heartless and mean?"

the group glances at each other, "the closer you are with him, the more he warms up to you." joba says with this little hopeful look in his eyes.

"yeah, if he really cares about someone and likes someone in any way, then he'll show it." bearface joins in.

"when we all became friends it almost took us two years for us to crack his shell that he's always hiding in," merlyn tells me, "but what we're trying to say is if you're really important to him, then he'll show it and will let you in eventually."

"he won't tell you that you are important to him, but he'll definitely show it." hk says.

"oh, and he's secretly a softie. i'm just gonna put that out there." romil chuckles.

the entrance door opens, and of course comes in, matt. how great.

his eyes widen, and he looks like he wants to literally kill me. he speed walks up to me, "everlee, can we talk outside?" i see his teeth grit out of anger. i nod my head, and follow him out the door to see what the hell he wants.

once the door shuts behinds us, he drops his act, "what the fuck do you think you're doing?" he stares at me as if i just done something completely insane.

"what?" i say confused.

"don't get so friendly with them, they're going to get the wrong idea about you." he crosses his arms.

"and what's that?" i cross my arms also, mimicking his movements.

"they know when i label myself as friends with someone, it means that i find the person decent enough to talk to," he says with a furious tone, "and you're nothing near to being decent."

i gasp, "could you be anymore of an asshole?" i almost yell, but realize that we're standing in the hallway.

"my asshole meter is at the limit, sweetheart." he gives me the most fake smile i've ever seen in my life.

"be careful, because guess who has those videos of your cringy ass of when you were-" i tease, until he quickly places his hand over my mouth.

"you really don't know how to shut the fuck up, don't you?" matt whispers aggressively.

i lick his hand, and he removes his hand with the face of disgust, "what the fuck was that?"

"it was my tongue, what else would it be?"

"whatever, just be ready for tonight. i'm ready to get your little game other with." he says and storms off inside the library.

this whole thing is much more work than i expected.
