Love and War

Part 2 - Slapping Regret

Jayden Blackwell

Lunch Time

Aniyah walked into the cafeteria and it was absolutely weird, one side was filled with people with random colors and the other side had colors but you could see the difference. Aniyah saw Kaiden sitting down in the middle table on the left side with Mason next to him, and she looked to her right and saw Ashton with Logan and the rest of those boys sitting down at a table.

Aniyah saw a empty table in the middle of the cafeteria and she walked over and sat down at it and everyone looked at her with shock. Aniyah put on her headphones and started playing music and eating her apple reading her book.

After a few minutes Aniyah heard the doors open and she looked up and paused her music to see Jayden walk in with a black eye, half of his face bruised, and a cast on his left wrist.

Aniyah got up instantly and walked over to Jayden and said "Who did this to you!"

Jayden said "Don't worry-" Aniyah looked at Kaiden and his knuckles we're red, as were Masons and almost everyones. Aniyah then looked at Jayden and lifted up Jaydens shirt and his stomach was badly bruised as was his back.

Aniyah pulled his shirt down and quickly walked over to Kaiden and said "Why'd you do that!"

Kaiden said "Listen sunshine-" Aniyah said "I'm not you're fucking sunshine!"

Everyone on the jock side gasped and Aniyah rolled her eyes and Kaiden smirked and said "He made his choice. It was either him, or logan."

Aniyah scoffed and said "He's like 14."

Kaiden said "15, but who cares."

Aniyah said "He's a child!"

Kaiden said "and children need to learn!! But Jayden. He took his learning away."

Aniyah slapped Kaiden across the face and a girl from Kaidens side stood up instantly and pushed Aniyah hard up against the wall. Aniyah grabbed the girls arm and twisted it behind her back and kicked her leg in to where she fell on her knees and Kaiden said "Did you just fucking slap me!"

Aniyah pushed the girl down hard and walked up to Kaiden, slammed her right hand hard on the table and bent close down into his face where their noses We're practically touching and she said "Yeah. I did. Touch Jayden again, and I'll do much worse."

Kaiden stood up fast and practically towerd over her and said "You don't scare me."

Aniyah looked up at him and said "and you don't scare me."

Kaiden said "You should be."

Aniyah actually was terrified of Kaiden, he had this look that he could kill you in the blink of an eye and not think twice, but Aniyah was always told to never show weakness. Aniyah said "Well I'm not. You gonna hit me?"

Kaiden said "I don't hit girls. I have girls do it for me."

Aniyah pointed to the girl down on the ground and said "and look what happend."

She walked past Kaiden by hitting her shoulder hard against his arm and said "Chose the right battles Kaiden." and she grabbed her things, and left the cafeteria with all eyes on her, with complete shock.

Aniyah walked into the bathroom and instantly let out a deep exhale and started breathing heavily, she started pacing back and forth thinking 'holy shit! Holy SHIT!' Every time she even blinked. Aniyah stopped and took a deep breath and said "you're fine. You're good. Inhale, exhale."

Aniyah took anouther deep breath and then the bell rang, Aniyah said "5th period, then one more and your done."

Aniyah grabbed her things and walked out of the bathroom and then walked into her fifth period class and sat down next to a open window.

Aniyah opened her book and started reading and then she felt a very quick breeze smelled with cigarettes, Aniyah looked to her right and Kaiden was sitting down facing her, just staring at her.

The sun was perfectly hitting his face and Kaiden is actually very attractive, beautiful black hair, dark brown eyes that shine perfectly in the sunlight, perfect toned muscles, sharp jawline, and his style, was actually really nice.

Aniyah looked at him and said "Take a picture, it lasts longer." and then looked back at her book.

Kaiden grabbed out his phone and took a picture of Aniyah reading and she looked at him and he took another picture of her. Aniyah rolled her eyes and Kaiden smirked and said "You don't have to play hard to get Aniyah."

Aniyah said "How do you know my name?"

Kaiden said "I know everyones name."

Aniyah rolled her eyes and said "and I'm not playing hard to get. I have a boyfriend."

Kaiden said "What is his name?"

Aniyah said "Why does it matter?"

Kaiden said "I just want to know. Unless he's a lie."

Aniyah rolled her eyes and grabbed out her phone and clicked on a photo of her and her "boyfriend" kissing and showed him. He looked at the picture and said "I'm hotter."

Aniyah rolled her eyes and said "You really arent, whatever helps you sleep at night."

Kaiden looked at her shocked and Aniyah said "What? Not used to girls throwing themselves at you."

Kaiden said "Yeah."

Aniyah said "I'm not most girls, as you can see."

Kaiden smirked and said "Trust me. I see that."

Aniyah rolled her eyes and said "Stop talking to me, you're killing my brain cells."

Then she looked forward and Kaiden laughed and looked forward. Aniyah peaked at him and she couldn't help but actually find him really, really attractive, but in her eyes. Her "boyfriend" was better. Aniyah doesn't have a boyfriend, she showed Kaiden a picture of her and her ex boyfriend who physically abused her, but she didn't have any other pictures. So she doesn't mind doing a little lie.
