New Neighbour

Chapter 16. Everybody likes Alissa.

"You poor little thing," Manuel says. "Don't you even think about him, he's a jerk anyway."

"I don't know what do to without you," I say to him.

"We need to take your mind off it. You wanna do something tonight?" He asks me.

"Like what?" I ask him. I stopped crying, but my eyes are still red.

"How about a movie? How does that sound?" He hugs me again.

"That sounds amazing," I say.

"So it's a date, then?" He smiles.

"It's a date," I say.

Meanwhile, at the cafeteria:

"That bitch," Erik mumbles.

"What did you say? Who's a bitch?" Toni asks.

"What do you think? Alissa," Erik says.

"Whooa, so you are saying that she's a bitch, because she didn't choose you?" Toni is angry.

"If you were a real man, you would accept her choice," Marco adds.

"Guys like you make me sick," Mario says.

"You know, Jogi could throw you out of the team, when you act like this," Toni threatens.

"Was that a threat?" Erik asks.

"Maybe it was," Toni says.

"Oh, I'm so scared," Erik laughs.

"I'm watching you," Toni says and leaves.

"Everybody likes Alissa. If you don't like her, don't show it. They'll kill you," Julian suggests.

"You don't like her either?" Erik asks.

"What? Of course I like her, she's wonderful!" Julian laughs.

"Ughh," Erik sighs.

Back at the field:

"Hey, Alissa, stay away from Erik," Toni says. "What's wrong? You've been crying."

"Yes I have, thanks to the biggest ass in the world," I say.

"What can I do to make you feel better?" He asks.

"I don't know," I say.

"Oh, I know already what I'm gonna do, but you have to wait until tomorrow," he whispers.

"What are you gonna do? Please don't kill Erik, I know he's a jerk, but he doesn't deserve to die," I say.

"Ohh, don't worry, my surprise is gonna be much... cuter," he smiles.

"Okay everyone, back to the field!" The coach shouts.

The training is halfway through and one player has cramps. And who it is? Erik.

"Alissa, go help him!" Coach shouts.

"On my way," Erik screams in agony. "Need some help?" I ask.

"Not from you, bitch," he hisses.

"Okay," I turn around.

"Shit, wait," He's fighting with himself. He doesn't want my help, but it's his only choice. "I would want your help, please," he mumbles.

"Say you're sorry," I say.

"What? No," he's really stubborn.

"What's that? You don't want my help? Okay," I turn around again.

"Okay, fine. I'm sorry," he says.

"Sorry for what?" I ask.

"I'm sorry, that I called you a slut," he says through his teeth.

"Good. Now say it like you mean it," I never thought torturing someone would feel this good.

"Look, Alissa, you are a great girl and I'm sorry that I called you like that. You are really awesome," he says with a fake smile.

"That's more like it," I smile.

The training is over. Manuel comes. "You still staying at Thomas place?" He asks.

"Yes but don't worry, I'll make something up. Call me when you're at my place, okay?"

"Okay. I'll pick you up at 8?" he smiles.

"Sounds good."
