That's Not Her

22. Something appropriate like Child molester

Alec's point of view.

"I don't think this is such a great idea." Maia hovered over me supplying me tape as I put large pecies of duck tape over Jace's number plate.

"Relax. I've done this a dozen of times."

"Have you ever been caught?" 

"just a couple of times." I told her as I stood up to look at my handi work.

"That's reassuring." She said sarcastically. I looked at her and saw her eyes and nose was a little red due to icy air. I gave her my bomber's Jacket to put it over her dress when she started shaking violently due to cold.

"Just go with it alright. I can assure you will feel way better after doing this." I took the egg cartons from her hand and went to driver's seat. 

"Shouldn't you be the one throwing this? Your the basket ball player so your aim will be far better than mine."

"come on.  You can't be that bad." 

"Mark was trying to teach me football once and I sprained my ankle and his wrist before even hitting the ball." She  laughed shaking her head at the memory.  I remember Mark Said someone who can finally kick a ball  and paint when he was describing that girl he meet. now it made sense why she was upset about that.

Honestly  this is the most straight forward I've seen her. I never heard her talk about Mark like this before or about what she was going through at school due to that stupid photo. I feel guilty kissing Natasha now that I know how much she ruined Maia's life. Maia is too good at putting up an easy going, devil may care front but tonight when she talked to me at the deck I started to see past that front. Maia told me how she only kissed two guys in her life which I must admit was quite shocking.  that shock was proof that I was just like all the hypocrites  in school who labeled her slut on assumptions. I am not saying she is completely  innocent but more like mostly misunderstood.

"still you haven't throw them. It's your revenge."

"Why can't I just go and spray paint on their door? Something appropriate like Child molester."

"As fun as that sounds we know you can't run fast enough if someone comes out with a shotgun. My way we can escape quickly if we get caught and now thanks to me they won't be able to get this car's number."

"I hate to admit that you are on evil genius Mr. Shade." She grinned at me. Damn it why did she had to be so sinfully beautiful. She is the reason I kissed Natasha today. When she threatened Natasha In cafe today she looked unbelievably hot. There was a darkness within her when she made her threats. I knew she would so something spectacular if Natasha even looked at her wrong. I know how wrong it was to be attracted to her that way but that's why I tried to distract myself by kissing someone else.

"Okay that's her house I think." Maia said pulling me out of my thoughts as we reached a house in a suburban area.

"You think? Not sure?"

"Hey we have dozen extra egg." She reasoned.

"What if we pelt some innocent's house?"

"No one's innocent. We are all monster's in someone's story." she said before lifting her body so that she could sit on window. I did same on my side and supplied her eggs over the car's roof. She kept throwing at the front door of the house and her aim wasn't as bad as she said it to be. after half a dozen eggs later light turned on.

"Oh shit" we said together and quickly  settled on our seats. I went on full speed ahead and didn't slow down until we were few blocks away. Maia kept laughing the whole time. Her laugh was so contagious because it was so open and from heart that she was completely out of breath.

"What? why are you staring?"

"huh? nothing. Give me next address." 

She smiled and went to her phone to look for another teacher's address.

by the time it was 3 we gave up on our mission to vandalize more people. "If we target them all together they will figure it out it was me who did it."

"We can get to other's some other time, some other way." I assured her. This was most fun I had in a long time I thought as we picked up our order in McDonald's drive way.

"We should head home. Even if it's Saturday tomorrow I have practice in noon. I need sleep."

"I don't feel like going home back to the party." Maia pouted. I almost forgot she had party at home. That seems like days ago.

"We can go to my flat. but you'll have to sleep on couch."

"That fine. Your apartment will be better than my house right now." Ugh. She's been correcting my right words with her wrong ones whole night. We fought over fires and chips and trash and rubbish bin already. I was going to get into Flat or apartment right now.

"So you've done this a dozen times huh?"

"When your parents ignore your existence all your life you doing crazy thing to get their attention." I said opening my door. I didn't had much furniture. A second hand couch and a coffee table and new top in line comfortable mattress that was splayed out on floor. It was a living room plus bedroom kind of deal since I lived alone and could lack of privacy.

"I need something to sleep in." Maia said taking off my jacket and setting the take out order on counter. I looked at her as she pulled out some plates so her back was at me. This dress has been killing me since I saw it. The gold was making her skin glow like a halo around.

"Alec?"

"Right. I'll get you some sweatpants." A went to walk in closet which was right next to bath room and pulled out an old T-shirt and sweatpants. I walked to her and took the burgers out of her hand. She was kind of trapped between me and the counter corner. I heard her take a sharp breath when our hands touched. 

"You go change I'll take them out." She turned around causing our bodies to rub together. I t was my turn to freeze and take a sharp breath. We stared at each other, it was so quite I swear I could hear our heartbeats.

"What?" She whispered kind of croaked which made her swallow and clear her throat.

"Alec? What did you say?" She asked looking at me her eyes were so big and so beautiful. Her eyes were evidence that brown eyes are the most mesmerizing. She looked down at my lips and then back. This caused me to snap out.

"I'll take care of the food. You should go get changed." I gave her the clothes that I was holding and stepped aside pointing towards the bathroom door. My eyes followed her back. Damn it this dress is going to be death of me.
