The tragedy of pride

Chapter 4 ~ you bitches bore me

I stormed out of the office. I was fuming. How and why the fuck did I get assigned Ace, the person I'd be okay with not coming near me for the rest of my life, to babysit me?

As I stomped down the corridors I heard footsteps behind me.

"Daisy, please-"

I abruptly stopped and slowly turned around. "You lost the right to call me that! Stay the fuck away from me!"

I started to walk away from him but that didn't work out considering that a second later I was pressed against him. One of his hands was on my waist and the other was holding my wrist. I looked up at him and saw the same beautiful face I used to see everyday. The same icy-blue eyes and strong jaw that I used to love are making it excruciatingly difficult not to punch his brains out.

"I know you hate me but that doesn't mean I'll stay out of your way. I know I fucked up but I can fix it." He said while staring at me with sincerity in his eyes but I knew better. He could fake any emotion he wanted.

I let out an angry laugh. "Fix it?! Fix it?! If it wasn't for you I'd still be happy! I'd still have my brother! I'd still have the two people I most loved-"

"Love?"

"Loved."

And with that I turned around and made my way to English.

I met with Lauren and Sophie for lunch. Instead of leaving campus we went into the cafeteria and sat at the "popular" table. Bleh.

It was occupied by most of the cheerleading team and jocks like Dylan Burke, Marcus Rolling, Lara Coleman, Georgia something and others. I sat down at the head of the table with Lauren and Sophie flanking my sides.

We started talking about the upcoming, cliché back to school party that Dylan was hosting. We started discussing what we were gonna wear and how much alcohol we would me consuming, when Alex approached our table.

"Hey man, grab a sit." Golden boy spoke up.

Ace sat down next to him and across from me while the entire table stared at him with either admiration, adoration, jealousy and annoyance. That last one was me.

"So Alex, not that I'm complaining or anything but why did you switch schools in the middle of the year?" Asked Lana with a giggle. Ew.

"I felt like it." He responded while staring right into my eyes.

Everyone got that he wasn't in the mood to be interrogated so the conversation resumed and somehow the topic of sex came up. I mean who would've thought?

Marcus started bragging that he fucked the hot exchange student from France and made her Cum in 10 seconds.

I snorted, "oh please, I wear heels bigger than your dick."

This caused the football team to start screaming "ROASTED!" At the top of their lungs.

I got up from my sit. "I'm bored, you bitches bore me. So now, if you will excuse me I'm going to hang out with people who don't bore me." I threw a sickly sweet smile, grabbed Laurens arm and made my way to the debates team.
