Too Bad For Her Own Good

Chapter 14

He was sitting next to me. In all his hyped up glory; my junior high dreams were coming true, Hunter Adams wanted to be my lab partner.

And I couldn't be more furious.

"I don't know what game you're playing, but I'm not." I tell him sternly, hoping he gets that his presence is more that unwanted.

"There's no game, just interested in you is all, princess." He adds the word princess at the end with a smirk, almost like he knows it's going to piss me off. I'm almost growling, the nerve of this boy.

"No, you are. You're using me to get to Logan. And I won't have it. Find another play thing." I try to dismiss him with a wave of my hand but he catches my wrist, rubbing the skin in an attempt to sooth me.

I immediately pull out of his grasp.

"Don't touch me." I spit

"You wanted me to touch you for a long time Katherine. Since 2nd grade, even." I furrow my eyebrows in anger.

"Things change, Hunter."

"They don't have to. I want you now Katherine."

I laugh at the audacity this boy has.

"You want me now? Well that's to bad Hunter. Really, too bad." I smirk at him, pride and confidence soaring in at the fact I have the upper hand.

While I know he isn't interested in me, that he's interested in hurting Logan, the control is good to feel. Its good to be able to deny him. Especially now that I know, he knew all about my little crush these past years, and didn't say anything. It makes a part of me want to rip him to shreds. So much time was wasted on him.

"You can't move on that fast." He whispers, smirking as if he's won something.

I don't say anything. Feeding into his games is what he wants, and I'm not doing it.

"how is the hubby? Logan doing well?" He asks, faking sincerity as our teacher passes out the assignment.

"He's wonderful." I mutter, hoping Hunter doesn't see the blush rising on my cheeks from recounting what happened between us earlier.

He doesn't, he's not smart enough to make any connections between anything.

"Are you coming to the rematch?" He asks coyly, starting trouble.

"When is it again?" I ask, nonchalantly. I don't want him to know I had no idea a rematch was even happening between the two of them.

"Saturday night."

"That's tomorrow" I mutter

"You'll be there right, cheering me on?" He asks, teasing. He doesn't get to tease me.

"No, you see last time I went some asshole forced me to kiss him in front of everyone just to piss off this other guy."

He looks at me sternly. "I didn't force you to do anything."

"Well seeing as I was pushing you away, I'd say that you did."

He doesn't say anything to that, and I hope he is ashamed of what he did. I should be terrified of what happened that night, but I wasn't. I should have been, but Logan was there. So I wasn't.

I look at the clock, we've got 3 minutes left of class.

That's when he speaks. "He's only with you because of the law. He'd never be with the likes of someone like you willingly."

His words are meant to hurt me, and they do. I'm replaced with the insecure and under-confident girl I was when I was in love with the idea of Hunter. Willing to do anything to be accepted, to please.
